Hello shapeways community,
recently I opened a shop and I found that I had to set the end price for each material by hand. This is very tedious and it would have taken me days to do that for all my 85 products.
So I decided to improve the usability of the pricing table. I wrote a little javascript that makes it possible to set the markup, both in dollar and in percent of the base price, for individual materials or several selected materials simultaneously. Also it lets you select all table rows that belong to a variant with one click, which is useful if you want to set the model file for a variant in all materials.
You can download the script from
my website.
What do you think? What other pricing options should be available besides setting the markup in dollar and percent? How do you decide the prices of your models? Maybe I can build that in too.
If you like my tool, you can thank me by helping to popularize my shop,
Implicit Art.
It would be cool if someone knowledgeable could make my script available in greasemonkey or so, because right now you have to paste it into the JS console every time. It would be even cooler if shapeways would heed my suggestion and make the pricing table more usable by default, so this hack is no longer necessary.
Kind regards,
Benjamin Berger
Edit: I added a greasemonkey header to the script, thanks to stannum. Once installed, It now runs automatically.
