Looks like some changes to Frosted Detail Materials over at Shapeways. Not sure how it will effect my models, but probably will get a bit cheaper. And no idea what the Ready to Paint Material is, maybe prewashed?
Upcoming changes coming to the Frosted Detail materials.
Shapeways
FUD Repricing
We have some big news regarding our Frosted Ultra Detail and Frosted Extreme Detail materials. Starting the week of May 22nd, we will be rolling out a new pricing structure for FUD.
Following the new pricing, we will introduce a new finish, Ready-to-Paint FUD, for easier painting and a way for you to control the 3D print orientation. With these, FUD will become even better material for scale modeling and miniatures.
70% of all models printed in FUD will become cheaper. 10% will stay the same, and 20% will see a price increase.
Startup costs are being cut in half, a win for t- and z-scale modelers.
Many of the HO-scale and 28mm products become cheaper thanks to the lower model material cost.
