Yes, I really rate it. Coming from Siemens NX I sometimes need 4 features to do what I used to do with a single feature, so there has been a learning curve. But now I've gotten used to it, it's perfectly adequate. And the license not costing roughly a Bastion frame per year is a big plus now I no longer have my uni license.

Yes! I looked at doing a full dropout, but it gets both pricier and trickier. With the brake adapter I'd just print it solid and hope for the best, but with a full dropout you'd need to get into those lattice structures and making sure it's strong yet light. And then paying for somebody else's expertise gets even more expensive, as the Reynolds dropout shows.
The mounts on the previous page would in theory be self jigging as I had cut the tube facing faces 'to size', that combined with a disc brake alignment tool should be safe. This has become far more interesting now I've discovered a conventional mount wouldn't work with my current choice of seatstay and chainstay. The blue faces would need to touch a tube.
