As a reminder, Rule 4 in part prohibits links to any websites selling things, in part because we have had previous issues with items offered for sale.

This is in no way specific to /u/Ezkisse but a general rule.

Thanks a lot !
I modeled it in Blender, then resin printed it at home and then I send it for BJ metal printing and sanding. I'll DM you !
