When it’s above 100 degrees outside, Weatherclock has a fire animation. It’s hot out here in Texas, folks.

Bought this years ago on clearance for ten bucks. Just fished it out of the garage. I should think about doing something with this ahead of TRON ARES… #tron #tronares #slothfurnace #samflynn

What about floating dark crystal with animated iridescent lighting? Kind of growing on me.

Working on a new version of my electromagnetically levitated remote controlled 3-D printed crystal lamp… so far, so good!

I was in the #SWTOR 7.7.1 livestream. Talking about art things. Watch or don’t. www.twitch.tv/videos/25266...

Ran across some old iOS game art I drew back in the day for Inmotion Software’s Catacombs, a Gauntlet clone.

I’m very excited about this! First successful wireless voltage transfer test, powering my crystal lamp from the levitation base. It’s a little rough, but it works. Finding a set of coils that would provide enough voltage at the distance the magnet wants to levitate was tricky.

A Vibrogladius weapon and scabbard I made for our Roman soldier/ Ahsoka inspired Prime Centurion armor set. www.artstation.com/artwork/zxxag4 #SWTOR

New in the Slothfurnace.shop … Tractor Beam Power level magnets and stickers. Turn anything into a tractor beam! Amaze your friends! Save the rebellion! Collapse into a pile on the floor later. Whatever.

Testing to see if an electromagnetic hover kit will support one of my crystal lamps.. promising so far!

What a great start to my birthday! Now for a quiet coffee before the kids get up!

Another concept art set I did for the #SWTOR Prime Centurion, inspired by Ahsoka's Captain Enoch.

Bento says hello or something. I don’t know. I don’t speak cat. #cats

While my AC has been busted here, I thought I'd get my Texas Thunk emoji I made done up as a sticker... www.slothfurnace.shop/product-page... Get em while they're hot! Or don't. Whatever.

Brightness, color and animation custom code about done for my 3D Printed crystal lamps. I love building this stuff.

New card in the shop! www.slothfurnace.shop/product-page...

Wonder if this is any good… illuminated 3D printed crystal cluster…

As much as I hate to touch this, it’s probably time to swap out the old electrolytic capacitors before they leak and cause irreparable damage. These are 70 years old. And even though they look fantastic, they won’t store forever. Ordering parts today.

Doing my part to help promote game update 7.7. Even though I really dislike being on camera, it was a fun livestream. youtu.be/0M8p0avi-kY?...

Another vehicle I got to make! Minipet platform, Speedboost, firing cannons, animated dashboard and audio from my brother’s hot rod!

My daughter and I set up the camera, a tripod and a load of patience for a shot at the full moon tonight. Very happy with this one.

Adding my EpiPen case to the store at Slothfurnace.shop

My wife asked if l'd make her an epi-pen case. Designed this with reflective paracord drawstring cap retention, magnetic cap closure, belt/strap loop. Carries two epi-pens. #epipen #epipencase #bambulabs #3dprinting #slothfurnace

Sigh. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Every time I assemble one of these, I make changes to the model to improve assembly. That lil clip holds in both switches and the Arduino and is used for wire routing and LED strip insulation at the ends. QUADTASKER!!

Falcon Lamps. Blue day.

First ANH Vader V2 "V type LEDs" off the bench, I think it turned out great! Now it's off to a customer...

Another Vader ANH V2 board ready to send out! I don’t do many of these as I have to find the right vintage calculator, broken hopefully, from which to harvest LEDs.

A set of four Falcon Lamps printed, assembled and tested, ready to ship out to a customer!

youtu.be/tJbRL8Tdhl4?... Fantastic review of my Falcon Lamps by Jon over at Collectors Outpost

Maybe this is something. #swtor

New Year

Merry Christmas from me and the droids.

Every Day Carry… copper edition. #Sinn #benchmade #maratac #erikasoriginals #zippo

Spruce up your game room wall, or starship hallway! Falcon Lights now available on my store page at slothfurnace.com #StarWars #Props

A quick paint job test on one of my Falcon Lamps. Will probably add this version to the store. #starwars

In-game model of Ri'Kan's heavy vibro axe I did for SWTOR's 7.2 release. This axe extends open with color crystal facing particle effects and lightning when drawn. #swtor #starwars

Oh hey. C1-4W is now full size instead of mini. #swtor

Done with code and about ready to ship the first one! Static mode with brightness and color controls, or hit both buttons for animations. Hold color button to exit animation mode. #StarWars

Really happy with the light diffusion and this version of the code on my Falcon Lamp, this will be the animation mode. #starwars #props #arduino

Testing a new light strip for my Falcon lamps… about ready for the final version.

I need to print a back cover to mask off the light bleed from the back, but electronics and code working at full size! #starwars

… progress, slow, but going.

A 3D printer and a few minutes modeling and I have a new project for the office when this prints full size. (Millennium Falcon hallway lamps) #starwars

It’s… “wow I have to remember how I make these work cause I didn’t write it down before” Saturday.

Good morning. Pancakes are ready.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

This weapon set for #swtor was inspired by the "space AK-47" from Andor. I particularly enjoyed modeling and texturing this one. I used found objects for the greeblies and scope, and made the VFX package listen for the player's chosen color crystal for lights and muzzle flash.
