table is *still* a little too wobbly so the printer is going to be moved to concrete blocks on the floor, which should theoretically be much sturdier unless something is seriously wrong with the foundation of my house.

wobbly table issue may now be fixed, or at least much much better. running the inout shaler calibration again, and will probably check the flatness of the bed since it's been moved around a ton

forgot i had $22 in my phone case, we up

did actually consider this being a thing that could happen when I set new colors last year little do they know it's just my fursona

lowkey flowstate overstimulation game time youtu.be/rjOcS9_FI6s

.. & temps are too hot & the fan's too slow & the table's too wobbly & the PA's too high and LONG story short I've got a lot more walking to do before I can run lmao gonna start w/ the table issue because that'll affect everything else, will also be testing w/ PLA in the mean time since it's easier

spent 3 hours trying to tune a filament profile for my PETG turns out it was just wet :/

there is no driver license and if there is, it's definitely not mine (real talk: yippee)

title vaguely related since this song's a vibe lol surprised I've still got it since I haven't really played in a while youtu.be/ID8Uz7eL2g0

seven hours later, whole collection is sorted (by color) and indexed lol

beginning to understand the stereotypes surrounding business majors/degrees.

tiny fursuit update second set of swatches arrived (from Fursuit Supplies) and i think i prefer these colors more than i prefer the quality of Howl going to use the bottom 3 here, i think

car surgery (installing a new radio/backup camera)

getting up early (6:30) is wild like what do you mean it's still today

vision so powerful I stopped everything to draw it (didn't know that was a real thing that could happen) textbook ioh & @galadino.bsky.social interaction #furryart #art

a month and a half later, it is done this has been so fun to build, cannot wait to get started on my suit though! pictured: final calibration component (XY skew correction calibration thingy) also got the settings dialed in for PLA i think

also recorded a little walkthrough of how this calibration process works because it's really neat I think youtu.be/nHj0nL3jiUg

FUCK YEAH BABYYY (thing I thought would fix it worked first try with no other issues)

I'M SO FUCKING GOATED

completely forgot there's a mutuals feed, that makes this app so much more pleasant to use omg

most of the way through calibration and setup; so far everything's working, though making sure the gantry is square has been a bit tedious. this is the lowest I've gotten the height range so far

Huge group commission for @kolkhaos.protogen.club !! Thank you and your community so much :) this was such a fun project!! Definitely takes the cake as the biggest comm ive done!! #furryart #protogen #furrycommission

finishing up the workbench put all the heavy stuff we could find in the basement on it to make the adhesive for the top board good n stuff filament from microcenter today also, as the printer is fully built save for config/commissioning (will do that when it's back on the table)

happy new year but late (i was eepy)

cable management could honestly be a lot worse given what i had to work with lol best birthday present today will potentially be a single dupont crimp from my dad to make the final power wire for the raspberry pi and actually close the back (AC shielding in the bottom left removed for photo)

Decided im gonna start doing these reflections at the end of every year, i think it'll be interesting to see how expectations compare to what actually happens as years pass youtu.be/-UvvLcxvkPw

made pasta w/ my brother (lowkey the best pasta I've ever had i think)

not even close

gonna start ordering materials/tools, or at least swatches/samples. only having 3 colors of fur is gonna make that part easier, though the non-fur stuff will probably be trickier (we get there when we get there) if anyone's got any specific suppliers or tools that they recommend, please lmk ^^

merry crisis hope people are having a good holiday season also, printer side panels have arrived, so I'll be able to start making actual progress on my suit in the new year :D

primter update got it down on the floor to make routing wires and applying the foam padding for the side panels easier, gonna wait til i have them to do the rest so i can make sure I'm plugging everything into the control boards properly next gonna order filament, fur samples, and tools probably :3

Fun chart, also some thoughts and stuff in the thread but I'll jingle some keys first (also if anyone plays beat saber PLEASE message me if you wanna do multiplayer some time PLEASE HI THANK YOU) youtu.be/j81rLiqYv6U

bed, gantry, belts, tool heads, and filament lines done, pretty much just the electronics left I think :D ...realized i have basically only been standing for like 13 hours lol. eepy time

semester's over, so it's printer time :3 started doing some motors and pulleys and stuff today (or yesterday I guess)

with this goofy-ass connector, done with build prep :3 looking forward to properly starting after im done with finals this week

taking a while but these things are very satisfying to assemble

meant to share yesterday, but finished the frame! took about 12 hours due to triple-checking all the bits are perfectly aligned next up: prepping the 3D printed parts w/ heat inserts and then also the wiring for the hot ends (luckily found some good youtube videos; the build guide isnt great here)

it has arrived :3

modeling progress :3 printer is supposed to arrive Monday!

extra credit project from my physics class last week, this stuff was fun to mess around with ^^

important parts arrived today - drier and dry storage for hygroscopic filament spools :3

going to run it back focusing on mobility of the legs and paying more attention to how it'll interface w/ the body. Haven't deleted the first set, but wanna have this done also :> Definitely learned a lot from the first time for order of operations to not obliterate the mesh lmao

goal for my visor - making it w/ polycarbonate - is shaping up to be an interesting challenge, and more involved than I initially thought it'd be. Learning a lot about material science (for a few specific materials) w/ the research I've been doing though :D

found the perfect settings for stickers finally :D took like 2 minutes to print one page, but it is literally flawless!

client web-design project plus assignments are gonna put a short hold on modeling progress, but I guess that's fine since I'm waiting for black Friday before ordering the printer anyway :3 Will probably do chill streams during the build process because it's like a 20-hour build lmao

ready to print! (indoor and outdoor variant for the feetpaws) next up: tail

aaand this is why we make backups was able to just take the lower leg part and make some adjustments, looking a lot better now I think!

nearly done with the legs, just need to add a groove to the claws so they slot into the holes in the toes :3 will definitely finish tomorrow, then it's on to the tail methinks :D

proot suit update: - leggy is now hollow - poked some holes for claws

wasn't expecting to go from sketch to nearly complete form in a day coming from virtually no meaningful experience with Blender, but W next up is sticking a hole through the middle for a leg, and then splitting it into 3 sections for printing
