Hello Armand,
you might be right.
Please understand I have all the Bastions I need. I'm not really interested to invest time and/or money in something I do not need. And I have no plans to get rich by selling miniatures/terrain.
If I make the design available, ideally I just put the model up.
I do not want to optimize or spent otherwise time on it. And I'm very reluctant to invest 200$ to see what material is best and wether it prints, and I'm even more reluctant to spent money on a second 150$ print and to spent the time doing so just so that somebody else can save 2.50$.
You take pride and joy (probably even some money) from your shapeways shop (nice designs by the way) and most likely use the models yourself, but I'm coming from a different direction. I produce the models at home and if I put the model up, it will be only out of courtesy. So I want to do it with the least possible investment in time and money.
I'm sure you can do a nicer design and offer it for half the price, but as I said countless times before, I do not want to invest any more time and money into it, I prefer to spent both on the next project - and there is always a next project
As there seems to be some demand, you could design one and offer it in your shop - might be worth it.
Regards
SH
