Really, really important post!
🕑 Added 2021-09-14 08:13:20 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I love creating stuff and with your support, I'm able to do that every month and like I said many times, it feels great... except, sometimes it's not.
The truth is that most of us are trying to deliver a lot and sometimes we struggle between quantity and quality, sometimes we are more motivated, more creative, and then there is a time when we have to fight our inner demons, deadlines or just unexpected stuff.
You have no clue how many times I was questioning myself about the stuff I've created. Was that enough? Was it good? Is everyone satisfied? Did I do enough for each tier? Am I happy with everything I did?
For the last question I can tell you that my answer will always be NO and that's ok :) I will never be satisfied with my work and that will always push me to learn more and to do better.
Damn, this is becoming too dark, like, DC movie dark :D
I wrote that intro to explain and to justify some of my decisions. Like I said, I'm trying to make everyone happy including myself and the only step forward for me is to make some changes.
I've just "removed" some tiers!
Dude tier and Holy Guacamole tier still exist but no one will be able to access them anymore.
Don't panic!
"That's just wrong and greedy, you want me to move in the higher tier!"
Actually no, what I want is to have one main tier where everyone gets everything but I don't want to hurt my current patrons in Dude tier and that's why all of my current patrons in that tier can stay there.
If you are in my Dude tier you will still be able to access new models every month but once you cancel you won't be able to rejoin that tier.
The biggest change is happening to my patrons in the Holy Guacamole tier.
Funny thing is that this is the tier where most of my patrons are and still the one that bugged me the most. There were months where I just didn't do much for that tier and I felt bad. Sometimes I forced too much stuff in that tier and then a lot of my patrons in lower tiers were getting notifications about some models that are not available for them.
In the future I want to be able to share everything with everyone and because of that, I need to remove some tiers and this decision shouldn't financially affect anyone in a bad way... well except me because I'm lowering the price of my high tier but again, that's ok :)
So...
- Dude tier (hidden) - everyone who stays in this tier will still get at least 2 mini dudes every month but because Patreon doesn't have a better system I have to warn you that if you leave that tier you will not be able to join it again.
- Holy Guacamole tier (hidden) - You can stay in that tier if you still want to support me with more money. Since this one is also hidden, if you leave this tier you will not be able to go back to it but that shouldn't be a problem because you will get the same benefits in my Holy Moly tier.
- Holy Moly tier - will become my main tier! Every month you will get everything that you would usually get in my Holy Guacamole tier. Starting from October, if you stay in that tier for 3 months without pause you can send me a message and ask for my back catalog since there's no proper automatic way that can do that for me instead.
- Be Kind Rewind tier - stays the same, if you want to quickly get my back catalog this tier is for you. If you decide to leave this tier you will also lose access to the back catalog because every month I'm adding more stuff to it. My advice is to make a backup while you are in this tier.
- El Dorado tier - Stays the same (for now)
I apologize if some stuff is still confusing but I'm a one-man-band, I do everything on my own here and I'm trying to think about everything but maybe I'm not communicating everything properly :D If there is some confusion just let me know.
Halloween time!
We are gonna start October pretty strong. A lot of you have joined my Patreon after October last year and you were disappointed that my Halloween pack was not included in the offer.
From the 2nd of October Halloween mini dudes are coming to the hidden Dude tier while everything else will be available in the Holy Moly tier.
Mini dudes like Beetlejuice, Bride of Frankenstein, Wolfman etc, busts and my originals like the Pumpkin bride, Skull Mask, Zombie bowl and many more, they will all be available this October in the Holy moly tier (and the hidden Holy Guacamole).
After a few days I'm gonna start releasing some new stuff like these 3 mask inspired by Nightmare Before Christmas and one iconic dude :)
... and that's just the beginning! :)
Other cool news!
I've granted access to my discord to Dude tier too :)
Now I have a Facebook group too. I know a lot of people still use Facebook and I want to be able to communicate with some of you through that group.
JOIN HERE!or here https://www.facebook.com/groups/2962652990668386
You can also invite other people in this group!
Anyway, that's it from me in this post :)
One more time, thank you for all of your support and I really hope you will be happy with the decisions I've made. They were really hard ones to make but I do believe they were the right ones.
Have a great day everyone!

Hey Ed, sorry for the confusion, you can jump in the lower tier or stay in the one where you are currently. Rewards are gonna be the same so I would suggest you pick the one for 10$. Also, I'm gonna send you a private message in a minute.

I have been away from 3D printing for a few months and I am a bit confused. I have been in the Holy Guacamole tier for over a year now. I have not accessed anything in the last few months but never stopped my support. What do I need to do to continue to support and keep up with the model releases.
Love your work. You were one of the first patreons I backed and I have been a backer since I discovered your mini dudes on myminifactory and I have never looked back. Your work is amazingly detailed.
