Alright im at the hotel for Adepticon. Brushes down, time to play.

Uh oh. This might cause problems at Adepticon.

Wait... so im allowed to ride a Divvy bike on the runways O'Hare, but not at Midway?

I think i'll have my Trench Ghosts done in time for Adepticon; just have to base them. Then it's on to finishing my teams for Gaslands, Voidfighter and 1490 Doom. Maybe Hairfoot Jousting, if I suddenly find myself with free time.

This place is not a place of honor.

The butterfly-bitdriver!

Today's micro-heist:

I de-christmasified an inflatable Bluey for a friend for the holidays, here's the after shot:

At the point in my latest project where it looks like I butchered a robot deer.

Fuckkin finally finished sewing my giant katamari. Got a bit more work to do to make it battery-powered, and thus properly rollable, but hey.

Alright, finally getting around to doing the pattern for September's Stupid Sewing-project. Going to have to clean up the edges and add a seam allowance after I run the file through the vinyl cutter onto paper. God, I hope I can find my sharp needles for the ripstop.

Some times events line up, like when one of your coworkers is out for hip replacement surgery, and another hands you a box of old trophies to dispose of. Between the 3D printer and the laser engraver at the hackerspace, I think I did an ok job. Didn't get around to airbrushing the top gold, though

I think I found the soundtrack for the next major Warframe update: m.youtube.com/watch?v=LQj-...

The coyotes are back!

I figure my 3d printer deserved the sticker my friend gave me a while back. He said: "I saw this sticker and thought of you: you sure do talk about cloacas a lot." Listen. I talk about cloacas the NORMAL amount.

This is just going to make my Blender to 3D printer problem worse, isn't it? commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categor...

Some days I fix things at work, and some days...

The stack of 3d printed Lego bricks grows. I found a spool of a better Blacktron II / M-Tron transparent neon green, but I'm still looking for a proper Ice Planet transparent neon orange. The green parts all fluoresce and light up nicely, but I want MORE.

Yeah, I've started getting weird with the 3D printer again...

A classic at the ASCE Student Steel Bridge Competition regionals.

SPACE GITS is my new dexterity-based skirmish game of drunk-ass space orcs, and it's now live on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pla...

Another fine day making shapes at the shape factory! Some day I'll have a Diacro of my very own.

A nice resting point in today's rigging puzzle!

I know that putting traffic cones on kavats in Warframe is the new meta, but I've been doing it for YEARS, dangit!

#Skycards has been my phone game of choice for the past month or so. While I have been googling autogyros and other interesting aircraft I've found, I'm not quite sure facebook ads understands my obsessions:

Back at my job for the first time in weeks, and man, I've got quite the backlog of Cryptic Crosswords.

Found these almost-but-not-quite knockoffs of Rocky from Lackadaisy Cats at an Amazon returns store in Chicago. Even has the 'R' embroidered on his tie! @ironspike.bsky.social @lackadaisy.bsky.social

I have gone through all 4838 Illinois Flag Commission design submissions that were released to @milesmacclure.bsky.social via FOIA so that you don't have to wade through countless Abe Lincoln silhouettes, bald eagles, and "LAND OF TAXES" grievance flags to find the funny ones. Thread starts here.

Yes! Finished my Christmas sewing project minutes before midnight! I made a bunch of sherpa-lined scarves (in three colors). The magnetic clasps are great (though a pain to sew in), but it does now mean the scarves are chiral, and sometimes take two or three tries to put on.

Yeah, don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty good at wrapping Christmas presents.

I created a quick Gaslands feed for Bluesky, and it seems to work ok. It basically just searches and reposts anything with the word "Gaslands".

Alright, a weekend of lazily 3d printing has resulted in a full set of ships for Rad Pirates of the Toxic Sands (a Gaslands spinoff by Mike Hutchinson, of Planet Smasher Games). Got a lot of teeny tiny details to paint!

I have combined my love for Warframe with my fumbling attempts to learn Blender, as well as my hatred of 3DPrinting. I'm trying out CosPLA to see if it is easier to post-process than traditional PLA, ABS or PET-G.

He walked into the saloon, (a) big iron on his hip...

Sometimes the only way to fix a 3d printer is with incredible violence. This was after some exploratory cuts with the bandsaw.

If you have a good start in Geometry Nodes, the next level involves learning to cast geometry types. I'll explain, because I literally just coined the term this second. The geometry you work on comes in various types with different attributes: meshes, points, curves, volumes, and instances.

This might explain the weird readings we had on the last break test on the 800kPa machine...

Apparently it's a school holiday, or at least a "Day of Non-Attendance", so I'm teaching coworker's kids to weld today!

All possible tweening transition types and easing types. (except spring) a cheat sheet I made for #GodotEngine #GODOT

I was discussing warframe cosmetics with a friend, and was trying to explain sugatras. Him: "Oh, so like truck-nuts for swords!" I am so, so angry at how right he is.

i’m a real artist

For #Tennotober2024 Day 23. Dice. I did the initial design live on stream the Sunday before Koumei dropped and uploaded the small die to Cults3d, I have been working on the larger die ever since and finished the prototype tonight. #WarframeFanArt #Blender3d #AnycubicMegaX

I'm fabricobbling together an extensometer for work; its not pretty, but it is pretty accurate.

Here. Have some.

Demonstrating the embroidery machine at the hackerspace for Open House. I'm back making Warframe glyphs again.

This is still my favorite tool in the shop.

These photos are from the total eclipse back in April. Sadly most of the video from the payloads didn't record properly.

Here's a 360° video of the balloon pop above Utah. This would have been shortly after the eclipse.
