I have worked with Ryan before, as he had designed the file for 3D printing. That being said, he really goes above and beyond what your expectations a...re. I asked Ryan to make a soap stamp for my business out of just a jpg file. He was very patient the whole way through, and even tested the print multiple times to ensure I would be getting a quality product. Ryan gets all of the credit for the amazing stampings in the soap I make. I would more than gladly work with him again. HIGHLY recommend Ryan for all your 3D printing needs. P.S. He deserves 10 stars, not 5.show more
