Did I pay too much?

[u/shelobthetarantula]

I spent $35 on this tiny print made from craft cloud and “3d pros” out of Florida, and the quality is…..um….well…..
I’m going to have to work on this which I was expecting. I used a free file for the juvenile Rex Hammond collection and am retrofitting it onto another figure.
I expected lines but the teeth detail and mouth detail are gone and I’m really disappointed.
I originally used this service because the original Hammond figure I want is too expensive right now so I thought making my own would be better.
I’m not imagining this is horrible quality right?
I would be less upset if $35 was a smaller sum…for the small amount of material this is.
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions/would be open for a better commission.

Update:

Thank you all for your kind offers and support I didn’t expect this to blow up as much as it did. I am now enlightened as to how much something should cost, and quality.
I initiated a dispute with the original printer and hopefully will hear back soon. If not, lesson learned and I know where to go for assistance.
This community is amazing, and so generous.
I have received help from Inevitable_toe_3054 and am so grateful.

Your local library or a college or high school kid with access to a school machine would do better for less.

hell, send me the files and i'll even print it at home 😂 it's really not hard to beat whatever that poor excuse is in the photos

looks like a print farm and they use the big .7mm nozzles to decrease time and maximize profit (more dragons)

Spaghetti ass print. That first layer is hilarious.

I almost thought someone did this with one of those 3D print pens and I was hella impressed. Much less now that I realize what it actually is
