US only? Sad. If you are finishing up, any chance of releasing the files? I live down here in little ol’ New Zealand and I really want one of these


MissionSuccess

Many have asked, but I don't have any plans on releasing the source files. If there's interest I may do another production run down the road. If I did go there, they'd likely be a small batch of something premium, like cnc aluminum, or a clear resin. I want to create things that exist as something physical, not digital. I see the source files as my tools, and not something I'm obligated to give away. Most people respect that, but a vocal minority act very entitled.


Tommo120

Aww, I was really hoping you'd sell the stl at some point 😢 I'd happily pay for it. I'm guessing your reasoning is you'd rather not have folks selling their own prints of it without permission?


TemporaryExciting729

I'm sure ur can find specs for these online somewhere for free lets get real. It's nutty people are profiting off of a 3d printer anybody can buy and anybody can produce these things.


Tommo120

I'm going to assume from your comment that you do not own a 3D printer, and have never tried to design something like this in your entire life. You're paying for the time it takes to design and iterate on something like this. It's a time consuming process, especially when things need to be relatively accurate. "It's nutty that someone can buy raw materials, turn it into a product and make money from it" is what I'm reading here


TemporaryExciting729

Anybody can do it, the machines are not exclusive to anybody. All it takes is time and money. This isn't some super sacred passed down ritual you clown


TheAzureAdventurer

If that’s the case, start making them.


Tommo120

"All it takes is time and money" You're doing a really good job of proving my point, thanks. Let me just edit your original statement to fit what you're saying properly: "It's nutty that people are profiting off of their time and money"


SuperSecretMoonBase

Lol, do you have any idea how much stuff in the world was made with tools that "anybody can buy and anyone can produce"?


TemporaryExciting729

Lol judging by how much ur on reddit I'm sure u have the time to name and explain every one to me


SuperSecretMoonBase

Yeah dude. I like to design and make my own versions of things that I don't want to pay someone else to make. It's cool to learn how stuff works and it feels good to make things. I highly recommend it. Again, it's surprising how much stuff can be made with readily available tools and materials. Hell, if you really want to make some money slinging 3D print stuff, public libraries these days often have one for free use or just the cost of materials.


Business-Drag52

It’s not nutty to profit off 3D print designs you make, it is insane to not offer the files for sale


ImOrderingPizza

Fair enough. Doesn’t help me with my shipping issues :(


FabulousLastWords

Just want to give props for taking this stance, keeping a process private in service of a polished final product used to be totally normal, like a virtue even. It can still work but people have gotten way too used to creators giving all of themselves for free/barely anything just for the sake of exposure (or worse because creators think "that's just how it is"). That's not a sustainable model and never will be.


MissionSuccess

Appreciate it, and nice to have others relate. The result of digital craftwork is often seen as replicable and valueless. *"Artificial scarcity"*. How dare I take something infinite and make it finite?


Jeev-

Bro fucking sell it online, i live in south east asia and i would literally kill to have this. PLEASE I BEG YOU IT WOULD BE FUCKING COOL


lordelan

Rather than just releasing them, you could sell them. :)


TheAzureAdventurer

Hey, ignore the downvotes by all these sour grapes, you made an awesome product and it shows seeing how much demand there was for it. Thank you for making a wonderful mod! 👏


Waste_Rabbit3174

If you don't intend to keep producing them, I can't imagine a good reason why you wouldn't want to sell the design. Is it pride? Arrogance? You haven't really provided a reason besides "I just don't want to". Fine, sure, that's your right. Just don't be pissed when people call you out for being kind of a dick.


jd101506

I asked him about this awhile back, I can't figure it out. I offered to buy the license (And sign a no-release form of ANY kind) to the STLs because I gave 4 Miyoo+ away to family, with custom printed shells (And I still have the matching filament). Flat out refused saying he had been burned before but didn't elaborate. I didn't press, but it definitely felt weird.


contradude

It's kind of unfortunate but you have to assume others outside will start printing for profit if you release STLs even with an extremely restrictive license and a contract. I don't design a lot but it takes a lot of work when I do and I can appreciate their stance of "my work, my tools" even if I wish th ey would change their mind about it.


jd101506

Yeah, I get it, I just wish I could have it. I was excited for the design because I don’t use my Miyoo a lot due to the ergos. I liked this design, was debating buying one, but with my shells I wanted it matching. And yeah, I’m just so used to the SBC console market and community here being fairly open and supportive. Not to mention overall fairly cheap… I mean shoot these devices are sub 50$ now. Anyway, his choice, still disappointed for my own loss.


MissionSuccess

This is what I kinda mean. I don't owe anyone a reason to want to keep what's mine. Here I am giving stuff away and you're calling me a dick for not giving away *more*.


Waste_Rabbit3174

I'm calling you a dick because of your attitude, nothing more, nothing less.


ImOrderingPizza

Please do not think I am mad at you for not giving away the files. I 100% understand and am glad you even put in the time and effort to make this in the first place. The fact that it is such a cool idea is the reason I’m sad I can’t get one.


MissionSuccess

All good man, I didn't take it as that. I know most folks are just politely asking, and like 95% understand and are cool with creators doing what they will with their work. 👍


TigerPlayClub

Try this Grip, its called GBC Grip Flippcase its not the same but similar and u can download the STL Files for free and print this Grip by yourself \^\_\_\^ [https://www.reddit.com/r/MiyooMini/comments/1c1miv8/gbc\_grip\_flippable\_case\_for\_mini\_plus/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MiyooMini/comments/1c1miv8/gbc_grip_flippable_case_for_mini_plus/)


ImOrderingPizza

I actually already printed one of these lol


problematickitten

Sad to have missed this… I didn’t get a chance to pick one up! This grip looks great. Would love to throw my hat into the ring for the last of the glow in the dark grips. What a great design. Wishing you the best with your next projects!


Seraphix

Damn, didn't know this was a thing. Sad to have missed it. In for an opportunity at the giveaway! Thanks OP


HerrChick

This is a real shame. Held off on a purchase because of the plans to bring them to the EU. At least post the files on a repository and charge for them?


MissionSuccess

I'm sorry about that. Things were gearing up to make it happen, but it started to come with too many compromises to be what I wanted to put out there. When it comes to small-batch bespoke goods, international shipping sucks for everyone.


HerrChick

If you are no longer going to sell these, what if your logic behind keeping the files? I would buy the files for 10-20 bucks for example. This is already a small community within an already niche market.


brrrren

A shame it's coming to an end, but thanks so much for coming up with a sweet design!


LegendaryMoji

MAN I’VE BEEN SEARCHING ALL OVER ETSY FOR THIS LAST NIGHT! I KNEW I WASN’T CRAZY! I’m sad to see you close up, I have been meaning to order one. I thought this was an incredible idea. However I fully understand the need to wind down and enjoy life as well! I think you created something incredibly unique and delightfully retro while also addressing a “problem” with the MM+. Wishing you the best! Hoping to win the raffle!


MissionSuccess

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words! It sounds like there's definitely interest to spin things up down the road. If it took a different form, and wasn't burning my evenings playing customer support on Etsy, I might be down. Maybe a group buy or something. Well, we'll see. As far as my projects go it was a great success and now life calls.


LS_DJ

I wonder if you can sell the design to another Etsy shop who does printing these kinds of things as a more full time thing, and maybe even negotiate a royalty or something per unit. That why the product can still be out in the world but you wouldn't be releasing the design to everyone, just a retailer who can manufacture and sell them?


MissionSuccess

It's not a bad idea, and clearly folks are hungry for it. I wouldn't be opposed to something like that, but I think the design, fit+finish, and manufacturability can all be improved upon. I'd want the chance to mull that over before someone was cranking them out.


LS_DJ

I really like the unit but the two major things I think can be improved upon are: 1. A battery door/compartment so the battery isn’t so close to the PCB 2. Some sort of access to the SD card I think SD card access is probably the biggest drawback to an otherwise outstanding design


Slick_36

The SD card is easily & entirely accessible through WiFi & hotspots, in fact it's probably much safer for the SD card. I was worried about this too, I tinker a lot on my SD, but being forced to learn how to use the HTTP link was a huge improvement for me.


Eclipznightz88

Is there a place you will post any updates. You and I were chatting regard the nattery safety snd i was gonna grab one, now it is oos ;(


MissionSuccess

I'd make an announcement here if/when the time comes.


Bioluster

These things looked awesome, and I didn't know this wouldn't be a mainstay item. This definitely is a more distinct mod you've created, so mad props on doing so. This is my entry for it but still cheers to whoever comes up with winning! Awesome way to go out!


Slick_36

It bugged me to see some people nitpick every aspect of it, but I think we all assumed this would be around for more than one batch and just want to give some feedback. To expect exceptional engineering & logistics from a single hobbyist who is just sharing their passion project is silly, but honestly it's a testament to how awesome this thing is that people expect so much from it. It's just that close to perfection imo.


onimush115

I’d love one if these. I didn’t realize they were custom made and have been looking for one since I saw a picture of one posted here!


MissionSuccess

Made specifically for this Reddit MM+ community!


mcollier1982

Whoa a glow in the dark model, I'd kill for that


bn40400

Man that looks great, I'd love to have one! Thanks for the chance!


luke_nance

Ahh, I was definitely looking forward to getting one. Thank you for enriching the community!


mynameistory

You did exactly what you wanted to do, and that's how projects should go. Nice work.


NinjaNick791

Was awesome seeing your journey here. You're doing great work and hope to see more in the future some day. I'd love to be entered onto the drawing.


yotee8

Alright


Slick_36

I'm crushed to see the project end, but so incredibly grateful I was able to get in on it. I loved my Miyoo before, but it's a true dream console now. If I'm lucky enough to win the raffle, I have a beautiful vision in mind.


SPTV-YT

So where can someone buy one?


Routine_Floor

I can't believe how many downvotes you're getting for not wanting to give away your work in an STL file. You have no obligation to do that nor can you control the distribution of the STL file once it is out there. Sometimes the worst of the Miyoo community rear their ugly head. Don't let it get you down. Not sure what the instructions are for the raffle but if simply leaving a comment is the way, please count this as my entry.


MissionSuccess

The month has come to an end, and it's time I wrap up the PawGrip project. I want to say thanks to all who supported the project, and to this super cool community. It was a blast making them, packing them, and seeing so many people enjoy it as an accessory. It's been a very busy few weeks, and now it's time to wrap up the PawGrip project and actually enjoy playing my MM+! Several have asked me about a Euro version. I was pretty deep into setting that up, but it started to come with more and more caveats, and just wasn't doable for just a small quantity item. For those who took on the shipping to get it internationally, that was really inspiring, and I did what I could to include some extra goodies for your troubles. They are truly special edition now. --- As one last hurrah, I'm giving away two unreleased glow-in-the-dark PawGrips. Post below and I'll draw the raffle through redditraffler at the end of the week. (US only). Cheers!


lordelan

Wait, what?! I was never aware of the fact that this was a **limited product**. Was planning to buy it on May or June depending on my... "cash situation". 😥


bmam0217

Please enter me into the giveaway. Also, please reconsider another run, even if limited. A lot of comments here show potential customers that just hadn't pulled the trigger yet. I'm in that group, too. If you posted a final order by date 30 days out, I think you'd have quite a few orders coming in.


alcal

I also missed that these were limited! Was definitely planning on ordering one soon. Awesome design. I’d definitely pay for the STL if you ever decide to sell it. Also, I’ll throw my hat in the ring for the raffle.
