You didn't pay him enuff. Dildo printing costs went way up.
Given he's admitted he's "really bad at this"?
The first one probably came out looking like a cork screw.

Watch out for that $30 bucks an hour design fee!

That would have worked out well if his customer had been a Lady Duck!

I kinda misrepresented my point.

If you're going to offer money for a service to people who do it for money, make it close to their going rate. Or better yet, don't offer a specific amount. Just offering to help renew their donation to SubSim would be enough, but by putting a specifc amount to it, people tend to translate that into labor hours.

Of course, if I knew how or what exactly he wanted, I would be willing to help out a member. Animation just isn't my thing. I would encourage him/her to try to learn it on their own, I always enjoy learning new skills. But if he's on a schedule, then maybe somebody with the right skills can help.

And for my rate, the customers I have all design their own objects and I just print. Included in the startup cost is minor adjustments I may need to make, with their input, to make it printable. But if I'm doing a design for them from scratch, then I charge the hourly rate. I have too many projects on my hands right now to be doing original design work at a non-premium rate. The printer is pretty much fire and forget, but designing takes up man hours. I work a full time job, and this is a side job I do, so the few hours I do get to work on stuff are fairly precious to me.

And yes Kranz, it shipped last week, but it was signed for by Mrs Kranz. I wondered why you almost immediately order 4 more of various larger sizes .
