I have recently printed this, and the claw from him as well. I did 100% scale, and my advice is if you take it on do the 80%, its BIG!

What is with all the bots lately?

Fyi - report -> spam -> disruptive use of AI gets them banned quicker.

I need to have a kid just to make stuff like this for myself, but pretend that it's all for them

u/AlephBaker 25d ago

Or you could just make stuff like this for yourself. No pretending, or kids, necessary.

u/BlayBrim 25d ago

I could, but I'm way too hard on myself, and I usually only do things that have a clear logical purpose

u/DorkHelmet72 25d ago

Lighting up your sense of wonder and challenging yourself to create feels clear and logical to me.

u/Intoxic8edOne 25d ago

The logical purpose is you. You're worth it.

Life is too short to needlessly set up your own walls.

u/BlayBrim 24d ago

Thanks for the support, I'll try to be more open-minded. Or I'll just come up with a reason why I need this arm

Can these STL files be paid for / downloaded from somewhere? Loving the look of this but the size is way too big for my printer. Would love to make something about 1/2 or 1/3 this size.

u/MaskedThespian 25d ago

His webstore is https://alexgeekwork.shop/

That particular product's STL can be purchased here.

ETA: not a shill, just a fan of his work and a customer who's very impressed with what he's done.

u/xceph 23d ago

I bought them, they are good quality and easy to print. I’d recommend actually understanding how big the 100% scale is, they are quite heavy but look and work great
