Dear ,
TL;DR DaveDavePicks STL files are here: github.com/davedavepicks/davedavepicks_stls (clickable link in my Link Tree)
I haven't posted in a while. I also haven't made any picks in a while. I had big plans for the summer, but it's now feeling increasingly wintery, and that's none of it has happened. Things are just too busy, and making picks is one of the things I've had to drop.
So, to somehow still stay engaged, I have decided to opensource my 3d printing designs. Some of these took weeks to create, some took just hours, and if I don't have time to print and finish them, maybe others will.
What this means:
- I will not be stopping making picks, I just don't have time just now;
- I will continue to make models added here, plus others that aren't;
- the vast majority of people do not have the equipment to produce these picks, but for those who do, I'm happy to supply these files free of charge, they are unsupported;
- anyone can download, edit and 3-D print these designs as long as they attribute the designs to me, with this as the source;
- they can sell their prints of my designs as-is, and/or their adaptations, but must also share their designs with the same license (see the CC BY-SA 4.0 LICENSE file).
I am also happy to take contributions, ideas, etc., if anyone would like to contributed a new design or modify an existing design, or suggest a change to an existing design for me to make (tip too sharp/rounded, grip to flat/textured, thumb pick or finger pick size not quite right, etc.).
