Just a reminder that prices will go up on Monday August 19th Here is the new pricing:
Personal Use $24
Limited Commerical $60
Professional Commerical $120
Lifetime Professional $350
Polymaker has agreed to increase their Personal Use filament coupon to match the new price for buyers in the US and Canada. (I'm still more than happy to talk with other vendors around the world who might want to match elsewhere).
The value of the upgrade coupons for higher level versions of HueForge will also increase to match the new values, so PUUPGRADE will be worth $24 off regardless of what you paid when you bought the first time. So upgrading from Personal to Limited Commerical will cost $36 up from $27 currently.
MacOS Beta issues:
Control+Left Click and drag to drag slider or image colors around does not work in MacOS, you need to use Command+Option+Left Click. I will try and normalize this to just Command in the next update.
Some users are reporting crashes at launch or when switching to Color Match. I haven't experienced this on my dev MacBook Air but it's clearly happening. If you have this problem, please email me your MacOS crash log and the log files in Documents/HueForge/Logs if you can so I can try and build up as picture of the cause. I believe I know the overall category of error but these can be very tricky to nail down so all the data I can get will be helpful. I'll update this post if I don't need it anymore.
It might worth a try to contact Prusa directly, since they make their own filament too and located in Chech Republic/EU. Das Filament in Germany might also work.
Sorry for the bothering question. This is about the lifetime commercial.
If I bought the lifetime commercial is this the "new threshold" for me to have to upgrade or repurchase in order to get all the benefits/functionality. Or am I still covered for full functionality for the recent foreseeable future?
If Im not mistaken the initial lifetime commercial was lifetime but after version X.X (whatever) if I wanted further functionality I would have to procure another license.
You will never have to pay lifetime again. There will be a fee to continue receiving updates after two years, based on whether you want betas or not. I'm committed to it being a very reasonable fee but have not fully defined it yet. But it will not be even close to the lifetime price.
Two years after purchase you would also need to buy the “non-beta” version to keep getting updates. You maintain usage rights and can wait until something you care about comes along. But yes your updates also last two years.

I'm actually talking with them a fair amount and will broach the idea. We have their full library in HueForge now as well.
Regarding other filament vendors; try to come in contact with Add:North.
Filament made in Sweden. Big in Europe. Great quality!

Just trying to keep my ducks lined up.

That was my understanding, its just tempting to get the Filament Voucher =-)
You're doing an amazing work and I love Hue Forge!
There isn't any voucher for anything but Personal Use anymore
Very good news to hear this! A small "maintenance fee" to renew commercial when it expires is perfect!
To the other topic. I already have personal license, do I need to pay $24 to have access to the next versions? Thanks for explanation.
