did not take me long to find .stl equivilants of a lot of those files for 3d printing. one could go on shapeways to have it soen and sent to them or get into the 3d printing hobby themselves.

I see zone mortalis terrain there which i love btu i found free files which look similar but nor exactly the same and cost ~$2-3 USD per wall to print

I know it's a slightly dickish answer...but they don't care. The product is going out of stock. They obviously stopped storing/stocking/producing them a while prior. When they put it up and clean out the rest, they don't care who is buying them or how. Just cleaning out the closet.

I think the problem is that they are clearing out the closet without warning in addition to not adding new product to said closet. Forgeworld has less 40k products now then it did over a decade ago. They have shifted almost entirely to supporting the 30k Horus Heresy line while continuing to gut 40k products year after year. Which is great if you play 30k, but for those of us who would like to see new xenos products, terrain, imperial guard releases etc we are no longer Forgeworld's target demographic apparently. I'm not happy about it, but its a fact.

40k simply isn't a priority for them. The main FW studio team was split up to cover the different Specialist Games and I think they're scaling back the FW catalog to accommodate all these new Specialist Game items. We look at this situation as "FW hasn't released anything in a while"... GW looks at this as "FW and Specialist Games are pretty much one thing now"... Blood Bowl, Titanicus, Necromunda all that product has take the warehouse space of FW's discontinued products.

I'm just disappointed I missed out on the ZM doors.

dissapointment breeds opportunity

workign on these on my ender 3 ($180 3d printer) they are coming out good so far. I am on walls though and have not done the doors yet, but the stls seem legit.
