Hello everybody,
to anticipate it, since a week I try so far in vain to get an information from the Shapeways customer service regarding the image of my Raumcon friend with the support wax, which is sad, but true. 
And then, on top of that this sudden price increase for the Track Shoe Sets, 
which can be seen in this overview.
Right at the beginning I had ordered a Set of 20 both in FUD (5,18 €)r as well as in FXD (5,98 €), which I would like to introduce to you soon. 
After that, in consultation with my designer Joe (crackerjazz) I let him model and upload a Set of 40, which was economically priced and has costed 6,80 € for FUD.
The more surprised I was, when it was offered a few days later for almost double the price of 12,68 €, whereupon I have confronted SW with it of course. 
I would not like to comment on the unpleasant chewing gum discussion here, whereupon SW would introduce a new price structure in order to remain competitive with other companies and not to lose any money. Therefore, one would charge a surcharge on smaller offers in order to be able to better compensate for the overall costs. 
Supposedly, one would previously inform the shop owner about such price increases, what my friend Joe could not confirm. 
On the other hand, it is just as surprising that the FUD Sets of 40, 52 and 56 with 12,68 € have the same price, what would speak in the end for the Set of 56.
And now to the two sets, which were already eagerly awaited, of which I was pleasantly surprised. 
From the normal observer’s perspective, you can not see much more than the actual size, and at first glance, I was rather surprised by the small sets in the SW bags, which is why one has to take a little closer view.
On the left side of the pictures one can see the FUD Set, and right next to it the FXD Set.
As one can see in this picture, the FXD Set (right) seems to be a bit more detailed, 
at least I imagine it.
What strikes one immediately is the fact that almost all the fine details come out well, both the drillings in the Pin Lugs (Ø 0,5 mm), as well as the fine grooves (0,3 mm) in the slanting upper sides, which for such tiny booties 14,3 mm x 2,5 mm was not necessarily to be expectable. 
Even the small slants at the ends of the treads can be seen, only the small holes (Ø 0,2 mm) have apparently fallen by the wayside, but what one can get over.
First of all, I drilled the holes in the pin lugs with a thin twist drill (Ø 0,45 mm), and cleaned them this way of possible wax residuals, and then threading the shoes on insect pins (Ø 0,3 mm).
So for now, the result is extremely pleasing, and in my view one would not necessarily need the FXD Set, especially since the differences at those small parts are really low.
I will now ask my friend Joe (crackerjazz) to upload the Set of 20 in the proposed Flat set-arrangement to see if or how the price is possibly changing, in order to decide on the final variant. 
And if SW says that, it will be true. 
which does not bother me anymore.
I have actually outsmarted them, unbelievable …
