WIP test prints. Exploring “fuzzy skin” options in Orca slicer. Printed in PETG. Each half cube was printed with a different type of surface noise pattern. I have a plan to alter the triangle patterns in the top surface. Next step is to pick my favorite from these and print the full sized cubes at the same scale as the purple geode crystals. Progress! #3dprinting #orcaslicer #makingthings #alien

Beautifully put. The art of making.

@eniko I don't know about anyone else, but I differentiate between "brands" and "creators". I actively *WANT* to hear from and about creators (even if they work for brands!) - one of the main reasons I joined this server is so I find out what people are making! I also distinguish between "products" and "commodities"... #makers #creators #gamedev #fediverse #makingthings

Learned a few things building the dead man’s cove sign last month, foremost of which is that a plywood backing will help a lot with stability.

note little MDF anchor blocks at the top where I’ll put the eye hooks later. #halloween #makingthings #AbandonAllHope

Cutouts and bevels are done. The light from the internal LEDs doesn’t quite catch correctly if you skip the bevels. #makingthings #halloween

Letters have been cut out of the new Abandon All Hope sign. The foam cutter was the best investment I made this year. #makingthings #halloween #AbandonAllHope

it's been a long time since I wrote fiction. life got intense for a minute & I forgot how important it is to do what you love.

simply for the pleasure of it.

Didn’t expect this, at the first run: hand poluated a STM32 based #PCB with some QFN, many resistors and caps. And it actually worked. Next step: uploading code. #happy #makingThings #electronic 🙏🙏
