Shout out to @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social and the podcast “Who Broke the Internet?” for motivating me to sit down and design these 🤴

Really feel like I’m cooking with these protest signs. The organizers for this event understood the assignment ❌ NO KINGS ❌

I found Mars AND Jupiter in the tiny sliver of sky between Times Square skyscrapers for the planetary alignment 🤩😭🔭🌃 #astrophotography

I am feeling really, really grateful to Bluesky existing and everyone that has put so much work into building this platform and bringing in community here. With so many social media sites getting hostile and pro MAGA, I’m really appreciative that we can all be here.

Does anyone have tips for how to physically print astrophotography? I have an Epson 8550 and have tested a few types of papers from Red River company but I haven’t found a great configuration yet. Getting the stars to contrast well is haaaard 😅 🔭 #astrophotography

I caught what is a nearly perfect shot of the Gemini constellation last night!!! ✨✨✨✨✨ In Brooklyn NYC?! Hot take: light pollution makes constellation identification easier not harder 🌃🌌🔭

Day 3 out of 4 catching a moon halo. This one features a surprising number of stars in the Leo constellation! Follow for more moonbow hunting since apparently this is what I do now 😂🤩🔭

Do these also count as moonbows? It’s not as stunning as the ones from two nights ago, but I’d title the first one “Pillars of Moonbows Creation” if these count 😆 (…hopefully someone else sees the reference too) 🔭

Have you ever seen a full moon creating rainbows on the clouds around it? Because I had not and it’s surreal 🤯🌕🔭

I’m trying to follow the LA fires because my brother lives in Woodland Hills and is surrounded by them. 😩 But now news websites are completely unreadable, they have a few sentences of news and then spam ads? How are others staying up to date on it? I’m genuinely lost

Today’s the last day to vote for the planetary image of 2024 and ngl the Io shot is ✨incredible✨ to me (but vote as you please 😉) 🔭

I was accepted into the Bluesky Astronomy feed and it feels like such an honor 😆🤩 *big stretch before spamming all sorts of star things*

I thought my first attempt at seeing a rocket launch was going to be a bust but it was actually preeeetty cool to see the rocket light up through the clouds 🚀🌌

@bot.astronomy.blue signup I am working on a collection of stargazing products to encourage astronomy education and exploration! I would love to share my projects and findings with the Astronomy Education and broader groups! 🤩

I’m prototyping these 3D printed constellation cards where on one side you see a modern representation of it and the back has a historical one. I love how the matching stars line up and you can compare what’s the same vs not…but this means that one side is mirrored. Will that be too confusing? 🤔

I made these little 3d printed Christmas ornaments for my company holiday party and I find it wild that when I asked ChatGPT to write the alt text for these two images it knew that the second was the glow in the dark frame without any context 🤯😍

Hanging out at someone else’s 3D studio and daydreaming about having my own some day 😍🤩

Ok here to brag because I just saw Taurus, the Pleiades, Orion, Gemini, Aries and Auriga without any tech in NYC 🤯 🌌 ✨

I’ve been waiting for the democrats to announce they were fighting the election results and it hasn’t happened and I’m really, really, REALLY upset about it. Genuinely what is going on

Last most historic vote of my life? 🙏 (PS: vote no on props 2-6 if you’re in NYC!)

Weird self learning, but when someone has “coffee lover” of some sort in their bio…I always follow back 😂

Honestly, I’m pretty amazed anything works ever

This weekend’s project is to see if I can create a 3D printed, super thin, magnetic photo holder. I might be able to sell my zodiac stargazing kits at a store, but I need to keep the photos straight, and I can’t cover up the back. 🤔 🧵

Exclusive BlueSky Competition: Win a £100 We Print Miniatures store voucher. Like and Repost to enter. A winner will be selected at random on the 1st of November 2024! Optional: Leave us a comment telling us about your hobby! We love to discover new hobby! #Miniatures #Competition #Hobby #BlueSky

Thread to track the decommissioning of these ultamakers for a set of 4 Bambu X1C’s at my makerspace. We just ordered them tonight 🔥🔥🔥 Will update as they arrive with photos of pure maker joy and higher quality 3D prints 😂

Has anyone tried a polarizer for an iPhone like this? I want to get rid of the glare for my product photos but am afraid of wasting $80 😅 www.sandmarc.com/products/dra...

Another day, another AMS with filament broken inside it. #3dprinting #maintenance

Looking for people to follow here? I've created a starter pack with over 100 people to follow in the Electronics/Maker area! go.bsky.app/J5RbesE

Maker project share: I got my first bulk order for “astronomically accurate constellations” for a wedding last weekend! So I made 63 little stargazing kits where you get a glow in the dark 3D printed magnet and an astrophotography stargazing card. It felt incredible to do something like this!! 🤩

I’m getting bombarded with follows (aka 15 😆) but I can’t tell if it’s spam or real sources? If you are just clicking my profile let me know so I can don’t follow back bots or something

@recrudesce.co.uk I wanted to let you know I’ve been diligently using the hairspray you recommended to me, and it is GREAT for 3D printing. Thank you friend 🤗

I took a break from Bluesky for a few months and it seems like a surprisingly new crew of people here. Definitely more in #3dprinting than I expected 🤔 Anyone care to catch me up with the vibes on the app these days?

@recrudesce.co.uk I’ve finally kicked off my hairspray print 🙏🙏🙏 I’ll be testing it out over the next couple days

@oddjayy.bsky.social kind of useful that you don’t have too many posts because I might have gone back forever liking them. 😂 incredible stuff!!

Know anyone that is making cool things and posting about it here? We might get a feed going for this group and want to find as many makers as we can 🥰

My feed has a lot of BIPOC comments on the lack of diversity and unfriendliness on here. So I decided to read the T&S this fine Friday morning to see what we’re working with.

There are 16 “General Prohibitions” but no line prohibiting hate crimes as defined by the department of Justice 🤔

Having a friends presentation night tonight and we’re going full magic vibes for it ✨✨✨

This approved patent starts with Bible verses. 🫣 People can really do whatever they want in here.

I’ve been reading a lot of patents lately and ngl I’m surprised by the sheer volume of Men Patenting Clocks. If it exists, some man has tried to turn it into a timepiece 🕰️

Has anyone tried out different galaxy style filaments? Would love some recs to try and avoid hard to use kinds #3dprinting

Created almost a whole zodiac set of astronomically accurate constellation keychains ✨✨ #3dprinting

When a friend gets a job in this economy and you feel like it might as well have been your own

The start of an 11 hour print is full of 15 different emotions 🫣🙏

When you finally get the settings right for a new 3D model and your dog immediately finds it 😮‍💨

Donald Trump has been indicted, ABC News reports

Found some magical settings to make subtle text on the side of 3D prints and I feel like an illusionist 🪄

The side by side of photos here is…striking 🫣

Woohooo @recrudesce.co.uk created a #3dprinting custom feed if anyone else was on on lookout for one like me. I think if a few more people go like the feed then it’ll start showing up in the discovery options and we can make even more friends. 🤔🙏

Spending my memorial weekend reorganizing EVERYTHING in my apartment to maximize space for 3D printers and post processing. Wish me luck 🙏🙏🙏

Having the laziest of Sundays and my dog fully understands the assignment. Instead of chewing her massive treat, she’s taken to sitting there and *breathing into it.*
