  I got them from Etsy. They all came with borders so I had to 3D print a jig to get the cuts right with a razor knife. They’re still a little wobbly but they’re good enough.

    Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…

      Ya, mods! This is clearly thinly veiled self-promotion.

        It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

        • post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
        • another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
        • post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product

        It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because I this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.

    [Found them] (www.etsy.com/shop/SoHexy?ref=lp_mys_mfts)! This lets me cheat and figure out the ones I couldn’t name (or knew I’d got wrong like Digital Ocean that I thought probably wasn’t the Commodore 64).

    This is what drunk dads say about their 1 year old son who’s just learning to walk.
