$10 for a single model… or $20 a month for four models? For some flexi toy with 20 separate variations that only have tiny changes?

I recognize this is a pretty minor issue in the grand scheme of things. There are plenty of alternatives - both free and paid. It’s just a frustrating trend I’ve been noticing. I’m all for supporting artists and recognizing the time and effort it takes to create the model. I have a handful of Pateron subscriptions/donations.

I don’t sell anything. I print for myself and for gifts. Not everyone wants to sell prints at flea markets, but it feels like that’s the assumption now.

Side rant: It’s annoying how the first thing EVERYONE says when seeing your prints is that “you could sell these!!” I know they mean well, like it’s a compliment, but it’s annoying when it’s insisted on as if they were the first people make such a profound thought.

    I found a creator who designed a LOT of beautiful tuned flutes and whistles. Huge assortment, large variety of shapes sizes and (musical) scales.

    I only bought a single design, and I’d love to buy more, but it’d cost hundreds of dollars to get the sets I’d like just for myself.

    It’s hard to support creators when they do that.
