I have been using Shapr now for about 4 years now. Most of my designs are for personal use. Mostly radio controled trucks. Some of my designs are for equipment that we later build for the farm.  
Here is my latest one out of probably a hundred. Its a small vintage camping trailer in 1:18 scale I will be downloading to my Cults 3D account.  
I just wish that I could uncouple my sketches from the bodies. Before parametrics I could sketch then create a body. Then adjust the sketch and create another body then compare the 2 to see what one looked better.

You can, but you’ll lose your parametric history. Just select the History sidebar header, select either Delete Sketches or Keep Sketches, and then click Merge now.
