Handy

After my recent escapades turning #3dprinting filament into a waffle in a waffle maker, I decided to clean it out & use it for it's intended purpose.

Time to spend a while looking at Cruise Chaser's feet.

...of their aether 🙄

It's thursday, so you know what that means! :D @neil3dprints.bsky.social and I will get on a discord video chat at 8PM GMT (roughly 2 hours from now) with a bunch of other friendly makers and talk about what we've been working on. Come join us here: discord.gg/YSVcYAZv6Q

Good morning world. Start of a new week.

I am my own feral soul. But if I had to pick, the obvious choice is a Poison Frog. (I wouldn't change at all.)

I think I have what I'm going to call the #DrWho curse. I've realised as I'm sat here watching #StarTrek that almost every alien landscape looks like Wales to me.

I'm getting sick and tired of saying I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Why does a hobby grade plastic granulator not exist? Either it's a half baked DIY kit where you need to source most of it yourself or it's an industrial unit costing in the thousands. If I store it indefinitely or decide to do something with it, my #3dprinting waste would be better in tiny pieces.

In the mood to frog about a bit in #ffxiv www.twitch.tv/notjannet

Progress. Slow & steady. #3DPrinting #FFXIV

Looking back for a 2026 vs 2016 photo, I found a 2016 vs 2006 comparison so I combined the three. I'm heavier, hairier and still don't know what I'm doing with myself. Taking it day by day.

While I consider it fairly pedestrian, there has been a trend of people complementing my voice. I'm not sure I'd be any good at "real" voice acting, but I've recently started to consider the idea of simple voiceover work. The problem, besides my lack of confidence, is knowing where to even start.

I should get a heat gun

With slow and steady progress, I'll get there. That said, I always worry that someone else will bring out the same thing when I'm working on a project, because I'll lose interest and the effort I'd already put in would go to waste. It leads me to not want to share progress or talk about it.

I feel seen

I just filed this in to explain in no uncertain terms that I do not want AI in Discord. I don't want it anywhere.

#FFXIV world race moment

Personal #ffxiv achievement :D Thanks to the dramatically increased drop rate for Aetherpool in Palace of the Dead, I've finally got all of the Padjali weapons. They're the only glam I've been interested in besides my trusty Yellow Frog suit.

Decided I wanted a simple tray with a bunch of compartments, so I modelled one. To help reduce print time I designed it to have no sharp corners and each layer only requires 2 continuous extrusions; one line for the perimeter and one line for the dividing walls :D #3dprinting

First post of 2026 is announcing a new item on my Etsy - a Mini Regulator Hairclip! I think it's cute :D #ffxiv #dawntrail www.etsy.com/shop/NotJann...

I remember feeling the same this time last year, like I'd not made anything, then looking back & realising I did more than I thought. These feel like so long ago: I updated my mini Garlean radio to be a bluetooth speaker. I made a summoner gauge keyboard. I brought Yan & the FRU totem to life.

The energy I'm taking into the new year.

The software I used & the art I made

Merry festive times from your friendly neighbourhood yellow frog guy 🐸💛

My biggest hurdle right now? This shape right here. Still can't seem to get it right. Combining compound curves is complex for my cranium. #Solidworks

Trying to share a value/property between all parts within a #SOLIDWORKS assembly. Best option I've found so far is define a sketch in the assembly then use an equal relation to a sketch in each part which can then be referenced as needed.

I think this will need to be the year I lose weight. I'm tired of it and want to change. Christmas and new year first. Maybe this time will be different.

I present a (very scuffed prototype) Allagan Tomestone of Plushetics. Went from never sewing anything to making this in under a week. Definitely need some more practice, but I had fun putting this together. I also don't have the right filling, so it's stuffed with bubble wrap... #ffxiv

I've finally deleted my twitter.

Booked my hotel for #SMRRF2026. This time I'm going to be in Manchester for the ENTIRE weekend. Last time I left early to catch a train before a storm got worse, only for all trains to be cancelled leaving me stranded. Luckily a couple my dad worked with before I was born took me in for the night.

Only a couple days left to get a tuxedo cat plushie before they are gone forever! Don't miss out on this really cute friend 🥹 kiwicat-tv-shop.fourthwall.com/products/tux...

Look at this cute tuxedo cat plushie! Get one before they are gone forever! kiwicat-tv-shop.fourthwall.com/products/tux...

...and now I've made 3 complete sets of Mini #Tomestones. These things would be perfect for boardgame counters. Black count as 1, silver 5, red 10, gold 20? If someone out there designs "Ancient Allagans : the game" please let me know ;) #ffxiv #3dprinting

Balls. I swapped out the heating assembly on my Bambulab A1 (AGAIN) & something went *crunch* as I plugged the wires in. A bit of the connector had broke. Now I need to spend ANOTHER £20 & a few more days for ANOTHER to arrive. I've lost track of how many times I've had to replace this part.

Fascinating stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vitf...

I've now got a little #tomestone display going on. Left to right we have the Tomestone of Hopmetics designed by @polygotcrafts.com, a sticker I believe was from @cosmicseashanty.bsky.social at Kupocon, my own 3D model printed & given to me by a Cid cosplayer, the Fanfest USB stick.

Out of all the #tomestones, this is the one I thought I might never get my hands on, but I finally found it for a reasonable price on ebay :D #FFXIV

Not done much else today as I'm feeling ill, but the #FFXIV live letter confirmed the final one so I've now finally got all the #Dawntrail taco #tomestones :D

It's Thursday, so it's time for our weekly maker meetup videocall with @neil3dprints.bsky.social. Come chat with us about what you've been up to. I'm full of cold & may sneeze a lot, but I'll be there. We do this every Thursday at 8PM GMT on discord. Join here : discord.gg/YSVcYAZv6Q
