Make lots of treasures? Put a treasure token on it. Walking Ballista? Easily keep track. Anyway, it's exactly what I want, and I hope some others find it useful as well. (And it's available in 21 colors)

This is one of those designs that's been in the works for many many months and has gone through several iterations, but - I finally found the one that is what I want.

2 digit counter that fits in a deck box.

Put your commander on it for a life counter.

*4 standard playing card decks - not 4 MTG standard format decks.... Although if they were unsleeves, it would likely work ..

Some deck box designs take me many months to get from my head to my hands. Sometimes it's just a couple days. This one is almost ready. I have to decide on final colors and make just a few small tweaks. (100 double sleeved cards plus dice, or 4 standard decks)

Did a refresh on these to finally fix a tiny thing that I wanted to address, and added a couple more faces to the lineup.

Have a few more in the pipeline...

*buys a booster box: "I'll open a pack or so a day just for fun. It'll last a while" .

Made a very small update to the mystery machine deck box that adds very little, but I think makes a difference (and also means fewer prints thrown away for small cosmetic issues).

I am now printing the rooftop separately and it lets me add the little lines and channels that you see on real cars

Oops. I meant to say far too few games :) I was just overall far too introverted. Next time will be better though

I had this in Vegas. I played far too many games, and can count the people I talked to on my fingers, but I'm going to go back, and do better next time!

Had someone reach out this week and ask for a Toxic Avenger variation on my biohazard barrel.

Both the buyer and I are pleased with how it came out

I've had the oven deck box for a long time, but gave it an update to make it look more oven-y. I also added a refrigerator. Between these two, it'll hold 3 double sleeved decks and a whole bunch of dice.

What other appliances should I add to the set?

So just out of curiousity, I have prices on my decks in Moxfield. I haven't looked at them in a week or more, and looked today and it seems all of them have dropped in value fairly significantly (20% or more). Have prices just plummeted? Or is it something else that I don't yet understand?

My son plays cEDH on Spelltable, and has a deck that makes a lot of mana, so he said he needed some way to track the floating mana. I made this up for him, and in high contrast colors even shows up well in his gaming room

Nothing like spending 20 hours printing a prototype to find out you made a dumb mistake early on and get to start the design completely over. But, I guess that's why we prototype.

Utah hasn't contributed much to the world, but I'll claim the pastrami burger (and fry sauce). I had this last week and those fries were absolutely perfection too

All of my current orders are repeat customers.

That makes me feel better about keeping going.

They've done a little better at those things. They've also made it policy that you can't sell 3d printed items that you didn't design, which I appreciate.

I hate trump. I hate our current government, but Etsy is a platform, and that makes it tricky for them to make rules about specific items, and also makes it difficult for small businesses (like mine) to go elsewhere, since their tools are some of the most complete, especially for custom items.

Late June/early July there was a kerfuffle because some fuck-faces were selling "Alligator Alcatraz" items and Etsy wouldn't blanket remove them, which led to many calling for a boycott of Etsy.

I know a lot of people are anti-Etsy these days, but man, unless this became a full time gig, I don't know if I can make it worth running my "own website". Etsy just provides all the tools to make it doable as a side-gig, and all the other sites have major deficiencies for small business owners.

Lol...Squarespace site isn't going well, and have yet to figure out how to efficiently offer international shipping, so I tried Shopify. Got set up and figured it out wouldn't do what I needed it to without a $50/mo plugin. Cancelled/closed it, and THEN Got a "Lets set up your store" email.

I'm trying to work it out still :( It looks like I made the wrong choice with SquareSpace, so I may look into migrating elsewhere that has more support like that natively.
