I'll never understand why these guys continually over-price their STL files. If this were a productgoing to market and being made (and probably painted) it would retail for about $20, of which the author would make a few bucks. But here the author is trying to squeeze $20 out of a do it yourself set of STL files. The buyer still has to print andassemble and paint the thing himself. If the Author would just ask $5 or less they would sell more units (at no additional cost to themselves no less) and still capture more money than they would have had this product gone to market by normal means. I understand valuing the hard work that you put into this great idea, but you also need to value the time and effort you are asking your potential customers to put in. Good luck to them though.
