My feedback as an EE with 10 years experience:

I think your InstaPart feature looks cool. Lots of big companies have CAD teams that just make component libraries for designers. It is nice to get a bit of that on the small side of the industry finally.

That being said, limiting it to 5/month is very constraining. Can you accrue InstaParts? I think most designers typically need more than that per project, but not necessarily each month.

Sure. The way it works is if a part is already in our library it's free and you can download unlimited models. If not you can get it in 24h with InstaPart, and then that model is included for everyone in the free library.

You are correct that we have heard from customers who subscribe that they want more than 5 (right now they don't accrue because it's an add on to the other features). We are considering making these special requests available via a credit system. Would something like that work? Approximately how many do you use per project and what is the complexity of the designs?
