✨ HOW TO support artists for a lil money ✨

- ko-fi tip jar - buy a coffee!
- patreon - a lot of artists have $1-5 tier ranges!
- become a twitch sub (payout min)
- sticker shops can have a lower price point!

a couple bucks can go a LONG way for artists! u don't have to drop hundreds to support ✨💫

whoops tht was the wrong post I replied to haha. But yeah I get that and luckily we managed to find a way to make them happen anyways and make 3 extra to keep for later :) So if you want 1 there is a chance at a later point + Dee might make brass ones for GatewayFate, too!

Last few days (under 48hrs) on those are running! Once the month is over they are gone forever.

As of now it looks like we might have to cancel the whole thing which would be sad for the people who wanted them but it is what it is.

Anyways, thanks for your time! 🎃

Thank you so much in any case! Really appreciated :)

PolygotCrafts @polygotcrafts.bsky.social · 19d

Only 10 more Days to go and we still have some slots to fill to make it happen! As a reminder these will be handmade from sterling silver and only if we reach a minimum number we can make them happen at all.
If not that's okay, too but if you know anyone who might like these, pls share hehe🎃

But outside of that everything works and was tested. If you got any more feedback once you printed it I'm happy to hear it and publish fixes as well though!
This started as a veeery rushed project with only trailer references after all haha (hence the WIP)

PolygotCrafts @polygotcrafts.bsky.social · 25d

It is not a snap fit but is intended to either be a very tight fit or depending on how your printer prints it (different tolerances) is a bit to loose wich I suggest to fix with a bit of glue/silicone as a ring inside the slot dried on it self to create a rubbery interface.

PolygotCrafts @polygotcrafts.bsky.social · 25d

Oh hi! Yes it is the current version and I'm improving it as I get feedback that is why I kept the WIP on there. (Interest in it has not been the biggest so there haven't been many changes lately haha)
Afaik there is one remaining issue which is how the brush tip slots into the base.

Would yopu look at that?
It' been a very long time commission but it turned out so beautifully!
I only designed+printed the roof and lantern for the pre-made library but it's solar powered and made from a combination of 3D printed ASA/PETG and real wood. Thanks again for trusting me with this! 🧡

rhapsody @rhapsodoodle.bsky.social · 26d

My little free library is complete! @polygotcrafts.bsky.social designed and 3d printed a book roof with a solar-powered minion lantern on top for me 😍

For now this is a PRE-ORDER. We will keep the window open until the end of September. If we don't reach a certain amount of orders everything will be refunded.

Thanks for reading this far, this has been a long-time passion project of mine so I hope you like them :)

Shipping will be divided, where US and Canada are handled by Dee (US based) directly so we save on shipping time + no new US import BS.

The minimum order quantity of 10 comes from spreading fixed fees to reach that price any lower and the price skyrockets even more

Hello #XIVFMN friends and family, and #XIVMerch enjoyers.

This is important.

On August 29th, the De Minimis exception will be lifted in the U.S. This means that any package imported into the U.S., regardless of cost, even if it’s a $2 sticker, could incur up to a $200 tariff fee. This is big.

A Heads-Up:
I will close the shop starting now (as soon as I'm on a pc).
Orders will be shipped asap, after that I don't know when I'll be back.

I'm facing loss of a family member and am barely able to function rn.
Also shipping to US is becoming un-fair rn.

Love y'all 🧡🎃
