Looks like a great tool! Any chance of producing some to sell? That is the hope, eventually. We want to really test it out first, as well as see where it can be changed to reduce the 36hr print time and cost. We would like to keep the price reasonable enough that people can afford it but at the sam...

Sunday’s auction score. The AGM have the typical stress crack founts but I’ve never come across any of this style till now. The 228B is the star of the show and should clean up really well. https://i.postimg.cc/76RMCcPd/240-C04-A7-7253-42-DA-AFA8-92-EA70-ECF66-B.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Gpt4BpFc/0-D...

As awful as those look to me I'm not terribly appalled by these. The hobby has embraced Arc tributes so what is next? Once big $ sales of GPA happened what do you expect?

Nice score.
That is a good reminder too, my wife has gotten over me disappearing to buy lanterns from strangers.
I am not terribly concerned by that, it isn't like we are buying drugs.
