Yeah not sure what the best explanation would be.
Right now when you order your small FUD print, you're paying for other customers models like wireframe models as well (really cheap to order but really expensive for us to print, but we just couldn't ask more for those models as the pricing structure didn't allow for it).
The new system offers a fair pricing, you're paying for your own model, you don't have to cover those wireframe expensive models cause those people will have a real price for those as well.
If that makes sense?

And PenistoneRailwayWorks in the post above is spot on.
We've always printed trains as a bathtub and those trains have been more expensive than they needed to be, the new pricing structure will make them (in N scale) 10% cheaper, reflecting the real bathtub price.
Want a smooth surface roof, sure thing, orientate it in the new tool and see a price change.
In the example from my other post:

You will either pay $10 support material, or $27 (+- i did a rough calculation), just ask yourself if it's worth it.
If it is, be my guest right
Special note: this train is 16cm long... smaller models will obviously use less support material and the price difference between quality vs surface will be way smaller!
