Nice project, and very nice with their partnership with Shapeways.
Exporting their model, and uploading it on Shapeways gives me a price of 42.65 EUR ($57.59) including shipping.
- evenwestvang 13y agoWe pin the price to $100 and vary our markup depending on volume. The most dramatic landscape in Norway, Trollveggen – the image we shown on the site, gives us a markup of exactly zero. We're running this off a small cluster of colocated boxes with SSDs to handle the IO for the elevation models. So it's mostly to keep the lights on. That said, we hadn't tested it on flatter landscapes and the models we tested with only gave us a markup of a few dollars. The markup we put on your model seems slightly greedy. We're lowering it now to a maximum of $20.
- evenwestvang 13y agoWe've deployed a fix for the pricing model capping markup at $20. Does that feel about right?
- kawsper 13y agoYeah, that seems more right, thanks for answering so fast.
