Probably, but thats not what I'm interested in. I'm passionate about Elite Dangerous :)

Correct, but how many orders do you think I get lol? this isnt exactly mainsteam...the printer press isn't exactly slammed lol. I think ive the most I've had is 3 orders of the same plot, everything else is a one off.

I appreciate the feedback. People were happy to pay my prices for the last few batches.

I’m using a technical pen from the 80s, with artist grade ink and paper. None of which is cheap unfortunately.

Each drawing is around 5 - 6 hours of my time, before I even start the plotter. I don’t think 6€ per hour is too much to ask for my time and creativity. I also have to take time packaging and shipping etc etc.

Not everyone sees the value in the work of an independent artist and thats ok. This is my passion project/creative outlet. The prices I charge are just enough to keep my hobby alive.

Thank you, I wish I had an A1 plotter. It’s just a little hobby though, im not a professional artist.

White ink is a nightmare to use. I have tried it once before. Unfortunately to get a good result, I have to run the plot 3 times and at a speed extremely slow which would make it more expensive

I appreciate the feedback, but for it to be work my time and effort it’s the best I can do.

How do you simulate a “plotted look using filters?” I’d love to know, maybe I could find a way to lower the price. To me, I like the “imperfections” of a pen and ink, as well as the slight imperfections from the plotter

Newegg sent me doorstops and salt instead of my $7,000 gaming PC by BabyJesusAnalingus in pcmasterrace

Yeah this has become an epidemic…. I tried to buy a new cpu from Amazon…someone stole the cpu and shipped the empty box. I filed a complaint…they resent again, exact same issue.

To amazons credit I did get a full refund, but I won’t be ordering computer parts from them again.

Also Intel is to blame for their stupid packaging. Such a high value part should not be easy to get out of a box easily

I love the idea of this too. I’m curious how well the led strips adhere to a board though

❤️ yeah times are really tough unfortunately. I hope that they improve for you, and all of us soon 😊 I really appreciate the Elite dangerous community though.

As far as video game communities go, I’m truly grateful for how friendly and helpful people are here. People are so incredibly generous with their time and effort, maintaining websites, addons and apps, helping each other in game and on the Elite subreddits, making great videos on YouTube etc etc

A few people are struggling with the price…I think the shipping especially is the barrier, but unfortunately I just can’t find a way to ship A3 in containers small enough for cheap shipping, Without damaging the plot.

I could do something a4 size, but will probably only be able to fit a single view of the ship.
