Hadn't scene that one.
Most of my problems would probably be printable using a simpler work around though.
For example, if I am building a car...I have 4 wheels. Each wheel might have a few hundred thousand polygons by the time everything is said and done. The body is probably another few hundred thousand...and if there is any interior work or mechanical detailing, I am looking at 1.5-2 million polygons.
If I could upload model 1 (which is the tires) and model 2 (which is everything else) and have them merged on the server side before printing...everything should print fine.
Other issues are for customers who are interested in say a dozen or more tires. With the FUD set up cost, that adds $60 bucks to an order that could be done for $15 or so. Something that would combine multiple of the same object into the same order as opposed to pricing them as separate jobs would be great.
