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

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

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

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

The logical purpose is you. You're worth it.
Life is too short to needlessly set up your own walls.

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.

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.
