    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Been working on some keychains

Been trying to come up with some fairly cool keychains. The USARK one was simple... Thinking I might give one of those out with every animal I sell at shows. I thought the I brake for snakes idea would make a cool one also.

I've been using an app that converts images into a printable file, then printing them on one of my 3d printers. The I brake for snakes one I made using photoshop, the usark was simply the logo. (I've emailed usark asking if they are ok with me printing them to give to customers... haven't heard back yet).
 
Nice job Randall! I almost bought 3d printer when they came out then decided to wait for bugs to be worked out. Now I know I would spend most of my time cleaning dust off it because life has changed so much. Friend at work has a very high quality one but he owns a decal shirt store and also sells all types of knick knacks he creates with it. I bought one of his phone/pen holders for my home desk.

I hear ya on the collecting dust. For the first few years printing I'd occasionally go months without touching my printer. I have in the past 18 months or so been printing more often than not. I've printed brackets to make my own custom reptile racks (CB70 racks, Reptile Basics Super 70 racks and FB90 racks), reptile hides, misc fan stuff (like Links Master Sword, Soras Keyblade, Mandalorian helmets, GI Joe vehicles etc etc), and not to mention the stuff for plinking :) A stupid little project I had recently was printing out 30 flamingos so my wife could put them around her Boss' office, that went over great.
