Sorry, didn't realize that was a question. IMO the FUD and FXD are good. I've used them on my stuff and I've sold quite a bit of it. My customers seem happy for the most part. Some times they do turn out a bad part but they are good about reprinting it. We are all waiting for designer-controlled orientation, which I happen to know from a good source is very likely to be piloted soon.
Believe me, I've looked into alternatives.
The big thing is, I seriously don't want to be running this as any more than a side business! I've got two other jobs already! I don't want inventory, I don't want to collect money, box items or handle complaints and returns! I want to design cool parts and sell a few extras to my buddies. SW lets me do that.
enough of that, more eye candy -- accessory sprue 1 hopefully final rev:
