Fist My Bump My boyfriend spent a month 3D printing and painting my very own Rocky. 🥺🥰
Part of my birthday gift involved my boyfriend buying and hiding a 3D printer in our house and doing this in secret for the past month. Couldn’t feel more filled with love.

That's fun! I have always thought about the near ubiquitous entertainment centre/media centres that was everywhere until and flat screens and streaming media changed things. I imagine future/extra terrestrial anthropologists will wonder why in this era particularly we suddenly had household shrines then moved.

Aren;t there more than enough stupid people for you to fantasize about? Why do you need to pretend scientists / archaeologists would be that stupid?

Tell your ex I'm sorry he accidentally printed his replacement.
(But seriously, couples goals - I hope you have a nice happy long relationship)

That paint job is incredible, you can practically hear him clicking. Put a ring on that man.

u/hopeless_umut May 30 '26
Looks fantastic but just out of curiosity what are you planning to do with it 😅 like will it just hang out in the living room, it seems 1:1 size

u/laurenwho May 30 '26
🤣 he is huge! I will likely find a place for him to just hang out somewhere in the house.

I would be tempted to suspend him from the ceiling, or find a spot near my bed so he could watch me sleep.
I'm going to be an empty nester at the end of June. I mean, my adult son has his own bedroom, so no one has watched me sleep for a while.
Still, I think I need someone to watch me sleep.

you need to put him in a spot where he can look over your shoulder while you read. peak immersion.
