      That definitely looks 3d printed, and I bet the files for that are online somewhere…

      Pretty sure I could make one in the right size if you post measurements?

        Yeah the printing lines were not even sanded off the top.

        I do want to thank you kindly for the offer to print one up. You Rock! But shipping to Canada would probably be ugly.

        I hope to pick up a 3d printer this winter and if I manage it I will use this as a learning project.

          A Creality Ender 3 can be gotten on sale for under $150 USD. It’s a great entry level printer if you want to learn the how’s & why’s of printing & like to tinker.

          If you want to just push a button & have things work 90% of the time, I’d go with a Prusa MK4S, but those start around $800 USD…

          Good luck on your printing journey! It’s a fun little combination of crafting and tech.

    Tax refund.

    I didn’t make enough money for the year to be taxed so I got all of it back.

    I hope to get a refund for my train ticket from last Thursday where the train was just cancelled.

    Online request didn’t work, so I have to go to the train station today and waste even more of my time.

    Ordered energy drinks on Amazon because I couldn’t find the flavor at the grocery store anymore (Monster Nitro Cosmic Peach). The estimated arrival day got pushed back twice, and then the status changed to say that the item was late enough that I could claim a refund. I punched the tracking number into the UPS website and it said that a shipping label had been created, but the package was never actually handed over to UPS. My guess is that the seller ran out of stock and decided to do nothing about it and just wait for me to refund, but I guess it’s also possible that someone at UPS swiped the package instead of scanning it into their system.

    Either way, I did get a refund through Amazon support.

      Ordered a pair of Moondrop Chu IEMs, mostly for the eartips that come with them. Pair was defective, so I contacted the seller and demonstrated that one ear doesn’t work. Got a full refund without return, ordered a new pair, and ended up with two sets of those eartips.

      I gave away the second pair equipped with generic eartips to a friend who recently broke his earbuds. I also snipped the dead earbud, heatshrunk the wires, and I use the single earbud for when I’m washing the dishes or doing the laundry. Very nice outcome for me!

    I guess technically a refund? I returned tools I rented from O’Reilly to fix the timing chain on my truck. 250,000 miles and still runs like a champ, just ignore the noisey lifter haha

    A game I only bought because someone else wanted to play that together on a private LAN party. That person then announced that they couldn’t show up. And since I was terribly uninterested in playing that game on my own and only bought it for just that occasion, I refunded it after that news.

    My refund was for a pack of tomatoes, boring! So I’ll tell you a funny refund story I heard today. Friends, mostly a bit squiffy (driver aside) were trying to book a hotel at their destination on booking.com. There were rooms available in hotel A. “Check the reviews” said Ms Sober. “Nah, just book it!” said Ms Squiffy.

    Booking made, they tried to contact the hotel. No answer. Reviews were AWFUL. “Rats behind the bar” type awful. Fast forward to arrival aaaand the hotel was closed. They moved on to hotel B, where they learned that hotel A was shut because the owner was in jail for repeated violation of food hygiene standards.

    So they called booking.com for a refund. “We can’t refund you until we’ve heard from the proprietor.” “The proprietor is in PRISON.” “Well we’d still like to give a chance to get in touch.”

    It took them weeks to get their money back. Moral of the story is always try to book directly with the hotel.

    I just had a look and apparently it’s back in business.

    Review from this month: “Refused to stay, checked in 3 rooms & all checked out within 10mins of arrival, the disgusting place is a health hazard, taps not working, mould all over walls, the place needs closing down.”

    Owner: “Sorry this not true just looking for refunds.”

    I’ve been fixing up an old motorcycle, and the weekend I was finally ready to try starting it I discovered an issue in the electrical system. I discovered this by blowing both of the fuses I had for it. I ordered new fuses from Amazon that would arrive Monday, but then decided Saturday morning that I didn’t want to wait, so I replaced the existing fuse holder with a more modern one so I could get fuses at the auto parts store, and returned the older style fuses when they arrived

        Mine is a little different! It’s a '69 Honda CT90. Used to be my dad’s, and about a month ago I brought it back from my Grandpa’s and tore it down nearly to the frame to clean and rebuild it

    Many months ago I got a refund of around $250 on an online course because I changed my mind after my purchase. It was an amazing course but I didn’t see myself using the knowledge in the future. Good thing I got a refund in time.

    Ordered a shelf, it was never handed off to the courier. Complained, got it redelivered but they sent it to the wrong address. They seem to have refunded me twice… haven’t received any money back yet, but the shelf is due to arrive tomorrow so we’ll see what happens
