He looked online, and the cheapest he could find them where about $4.75 a set, shipped. So we looked at the ever-useful ThingiVerse and found http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13472 which are the brackets he needed. So I printed him up a few sets. This is my first 'print for hire'.

Print him I did
I printed out a Yoda http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12288 the other night for my friend's 5 year old. He turned out pretty well, but not perfect. I need to tweak my cooling a bit yet. Some dry erase markers on the natural PLA, and he looks pretty good. It's really hard to photograph these things though. Print DetailsMakerGear …
