i think shapr3d plan features are more suited to 3d printer users rather than woodworkers. i would really like a ‘woodworking’ hobby plan which is basically the current hobby plan but with a good 2d export. that would have me reaching for my wallet. (or just add that to the hobby plan!)
stl doesnt work because the lines of the triangles completely mess up/ignore the lines i made in shapr3d - which may be fine for a 3d printed volume, but no good for woodworking.
as a shaper origin user, svg would be my preferred format, as i think i would be for the folks on these threads:
as of now it’s easier to buy a subscription for sketchup2021 pro, at $299/yr) that will get me a decent pdf export, which i can use an online converter to make into svg.
(for origin users in the same boat, i exported a pdf from sketchup and this tool: PDF to SVG | CloudConvert made an svg that origin could read)
anyway, thank you for your work on shapr3d, its a really good program and has improved a lot in the year or two i have been using it. i hope you can figure out something that will work for hobbyist woodworkers, there are a surprising amount of us!
It wasn’t clear to me that the new “standard” plan is also significantly more expensive than the previous “hobby” plan (about 250€/year instead of 150€). The feature set is attractive, but then that makes it a very expensive subscription.
@Istvan thanks istvan, this is exactly what i’m looking for! will be buying a standard license this weekend when i have some tiem to make sure the dxf output works with origin (via the 3rd party website - is svg support going to be added at the standard tier?)
Pro user from the get go. Glad I’ll be locked into business for the rest of my tenure as a reward for my early investment, but glad for everyone else hearing this news. This is a much, muuuuch more appropriate pricing structure for the more beginner end of the cad demographic that is your primary market. Glad you guys were able to see the light on this one.
Yeah, I appreciate the original $150 Hobby pricing, and was caught in the “added new features” euphoria before getting slapped in the face with a 60% price increase.
I don’t know what pressures you are feeling to make your product investor-viable, but as a subscription model, you are beating up your users. Perhaps consider a buy-in-for-new-features strategy. Or something…I just got my “financial manager” accepting $150, now I have to renegotiate $239. How long do I have before that number goes to $329?!
I have ten Shapr files. I want to create an 11th file. Can I save the Shapr file in Files or iCloud, delete it on my iPad (now there’s 9) and create a tenth file?
I want to be very clear that I want to be able to save the Shapr file off of the iPad so I can bring it back at some point in the future (honouring the ten Shapr file limit) to continue working in it. I don’t want to export to STL and have to import it later, losing all the Shapr details that don’t make it though the STL export/import process.
Can you be very clear in how this file limit is implemented?
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I am closing this topic, as the discussion here is not very constructive. You can find all the information about the packages we offer here: Prices and Plans | Shapr3D
