I'm flattered, I shake my butt for $20 for whoever wants me to though. Hey $20 is $20. Since Covid I have been riding my bike alot and do have the ass of a greek god.

It's actually 3D modeling items to be 3D printed. In this case a couple blocks worth of historic buildings and a train station.
Nice. I felt particularly accomplished when I modeled a curved battery cover for a remote control. Other notable accomplishments include a knob for my crock pot lid and a new scraper end for my backyard pooper-scooper.

How does the pooper scooper work?

there's a little side opening pail with a 3 foot handle that you can line with a grocery store bag. The scooper part looks like a mini-rake with fat flat fingers. A bit hard to describe. You rake the poop into the pail., but the original rake end broke off. So I designed/printed a new one and it has lived outside for 4 years with no problem.

It's cool, but i'm not sure which makes me madder. The fact that he was trying to get $100 for it ($50 now) or the fact that he completely ripped off someone elses design (yes, he rounded a couple of corners to make it sleeker).

Whole lot of stuff out there ripped off. I've seen people rip of free stuff and try to sell it.
