in retrospect I guess I should have read between the lines but months ago one of our friends was like 'hey guys the school where I work just got a 3d printer, so if you have any heroforge stl files and send them to me we can try printing them :)'

and I, having never bought an stl file from heroforge (I don't have any use for them) and also having seen how Normal 3d printers handle heroforge minis (very badly), privately went Oh well that's pretty cool but I'm not... interested in that, since it's Not Gonna Work and trying just to see for sure would cost me eight dollars instead of nothing

this month heroforge has been doing a huge anniversary sale, and at the top of the month he'd mentioned again that If We Wanted To Do That, now would probably be a good time! :) because stl files are only 4$ right now! :) and I still didn't... do that, because I don't really want them, and I also frankly don't want to feel guiltily obligated to use chunky bad minis when we play

anyway today he was like 'hey guys that sale is ending pretty soon, so if you guys each wanna send me a mini I will buy them and work on printing them, or if you buy it yourself I can paypal you the 4$' like OOHHH, dude! you should have just SAID you wanted it for you, I would have done it WAY sooner!!!

#I'm not gonna let him pay me back are you kidding. it's For You??? I can pay eight bucks for this FOR you!!!#honestly what I also maybe should have done The Very First Time It Came Up #was just say 'oh my dad tried printing a heroforge mini on a regular 3d printer before and it literally couldn't do it'#but at the time I thought surely his brother would take him up on it right away-- or he'd just try it himself sooner rather than later #like-- I DID express some polite doubt that 3d printers Can Do heroforge minis but I didn't push it when he was like No It Should Be Fine #because like! okay man! seems rude to fight you on this when you're so enthusiastic and hey idk maybe I'm wrong anyway #like *I* don't know much about this I just have a General Awareness of printer resolution minimums and heroforge model size and complexity #anyway SHRUG none of this matters to me if Trying It will make him happy #although I wish he'd been less squirrelly about making that clear lol oh my dude I could have found you stuff I want on thingverse for free #ANYWAY maybe the printer's resolution IS really fine and they turn out amazing and this is the best thing ever #We Shall See I Suppose 🤔#about me #irl frens
