Both of the "upgrades" are rip offs from Shapeways,

If this isnt a collaboration between the two, then SHAME to the guy ripping them off!

Its crap like this that is driving customizers from selling their designs on shapeways!

for real. I cant find a pic of the layout of the reprolabels set and I have already applied mine but that looks to be an exact copy. the only thing that set has going for it is that its all the little upgrades combined to one. but not cool if its ripping off others work and passing it off as your own.

If you were to read and not skim, you'd see that I called them out on the heels just a few posts above yours. I couldn't place the other items though. Ease back on the frustration and contribute.

I figured something was shady here.

For the record, I am not involved with this set. The heel pieces in the photo appear to be direct from Shapeways, so at least for now they aren't being knocked-off, and are merely being resold.

I don't have a problem with the effort to make my product more widely accessible, but if this person/group is taking credit for it, then, well... that's annoying.
