It's not that we don't want certain files, we want to print everything as long as the price is right.
So an example of a model with the exact same volume, let's imagine a wire model and a solid model.
With the old price it would cost the exact same for both customers even though one model is a wire model and takes a lot of time and support material.
OLD PRICING:
Model A:
Costs Shapeways $15 to print.
Costs Designer $30 to order
Model B:
Costs Shapeways $40 to print.
Costs Designer $30 to order
so if you order model A, you're also paying for model B.
NEW PRICING:
Model A:
Costs Shapeways $15 to print.
Costs Designer $20 to order
Model B:
Costs Shapeways $40 to print.
Costs Designer $45 to order
Now you only pay for your own model, you're not the sponsor of someone elses model.
This way Shapeways can still make money by providing fair prices.
Please please, just see above as an example, I have no idea about margins/profits internally

This is just to show that the old pricing caused you to sponsor other peoples models whereas the new pricing changes that
