Also - I will support and agree with projects charging... just not $450 for what boils down to an .STL creation. Sure, it prolly took weeks to do but I just can't understand the pricing... $20 to cover yer time? Sure - but not to take advantage of the retro community w/ an ask for $400 for plastic. :P
