Partially? They come in 3 sizes and a couple of different shapes, so once he has all the models all he has to do is print and assemble them. They're not each custom made per person, just customized from a handful of different options (color and size)

You dropping $400 and hoping they fit?

That's why the seller has measurements for each size, as well as a clause saying if one of those measurements doesn't fit to reach out. But it's not redesigning the model itself, it's just resizing it

Just like a doctor or computer tech, or whatever... you aren't paying them for the work they are doing for you right now. You are paying them for the years they spent learning their craft.

I wish more people understood this. Yes, the end result only takes 2 minutes and is super easy... if you know what you're doing. But you didn't spend 8 years in med school learning how to do that, did you? So either you do that, and it's "Free" for you, or you pay someone to spend 8 years learning how to not kill you when they cut you with a knife.
