My very first 3D printer, which I bought in 2020, has recently suffered a malfunction of it's motherboard that would be too expensive for me to reasonably fix. As a result, I've decided to say goodbye to the old machine.

Never let it be said that I am not a sentimental person, though, because I felt compelled to memorialize it in the form of it's very own miniature 3D printed replica.

Thought it would also be fitting to have my first Pure Vessel, who was nearly all printed on that machine, pay homage to it as well.

Please join me in saying goodbye to my old X-Maker. You got me into this hobby. Printed so many Hollow Knight parts in your time, made so many of my customers happy. You will be missed.

I also wanted this post to be a sort of update for those of you who have been watching my Etsy. I'm going to be out of town for the remainder of June, and possibly the beginning part of July too, so I won't be selling any physical figures during at least that amount of time. I realize that I have been releasing new figures extremely slowly, and I've wanted to rectify that for a while now.

That is why I likely won't be selling any printed figures until I have a new one, or multiple, to include in my lineup. The death of my first printer has luckily spurred some motivation in me to 3D model once again, and I've been working on some personal projects aside from this tiny one. But after that, I'm going to do my damnedest to make some more Hollow Knight figures. Might branch off into Rain World territory as well, but I'm not totally sure yet.

Rest assured, I'll be working on it. Thank you all for your patience.

hypothetically, if i wanted to commission you for a sculpt of hollow knight's godseeker (the junkpit version), what kind of price range would you propose for it?

Excellent question! Depending on the complexity of the figure(I would make it articulated of course, unless you didn't want that), the print itself could be anywhere between $50 to $60, and I think I even have all the filament colors to match that particular character already, so I wouldn't charge any extra for needing to go out and buy new spools.

However, the tricky part is when it comes to sculpting. My Etsy is kind of my only source of income right now, so for a commission I'd prefer to charge an hourly rate, maybe $15 minimum. However, if I'm real, it probably only took me about 7-8 hours max to sculpt Dung Defender, I just really drag my ass when it comes to getting back into Blender sometimes which is why new figures come so slow. I've learned a lot of tricks, so it might end up going a lot more quickly. I'd also have much more incentive to complete a commission in a timely manner.

Alternatively, I might prefer to charge on a per part basis, which is exactly what it sounds like - a flat rate for each individual part that needs to be sculpted. I'd probably pick a mid-range of about $10, which may be higher or lower depending on the complexity of the part. For example, the mask and armor parts might be $15 each, the cape $20, but the arms $5-$7. The longer I think about it, the more I think I just wouldn't charge the commissioner for the physical figure itself, but instead only for the process of sculpting, and maybe slicing too.

Of course, all this stuff is still in consideration, I've never done a fully custom commission before after all, so if we end up talking about it I could end up disregarding/lowering any of these prices.

The concept of making a figure of the junkpit Godseeker is an intriguing one, though, so if you decide not to do so, I'll probably still add it to my list of things to sculpt. It'll probably just take me 5,999,999 months to do on my own time lmao

Finding out there are people who read the Goldfinch who do not think Theo is some variation of queer will knock the wind out of you. Mind boggling, truly!!! Like there is no way we read the same book!!!!

Anyway heteronormativity must be one hell of a drug for some people, but it is rotting brains fr 🥴

i rarely post selfies on here but i really enjoyed how i looked yesterday

I'm still thinking about the scream from ggbb.

I don't think enough people talk about it.

"I carry the scream for both of us" is such an intriguing concept. It really puts the image of "feminine rage" into my mind.
