Thanks @ben ! https://werd.io/the-web-runs-on-tolerance/

RE: https://3dp.chat/@manyfold/115508277423769633 @DoctorSpork do you know of anyone out there who might be up for this? Or of course yourself (though I don't *think* you do models via subscription, just straight sales?).

I've been reminded again this morning that it really helps if your graphical logo has a word on it. So, I need to choose a nice creative commons font for @manyfold - I'm thinking it should be all lowercase and smoothly curvy, like a line of extruded filament. Anyone have any suggestions?
