Finally watched Guillermo del Toro's #Frankenstein2025
I'd knew it would be good, but did not realize so good.
To paraphrase Crimson Peak, it has monsters in it but it is *not* a monster movie.
Oscars for him, Isaac, *and* Elordi!
Now I just have to figure out which is the best art, this or Pan's Labyrinth.

@nprofile…rk8s depends on the powerstrip. If you have some pics and measurements I could probably knock something out quickly. Also some powerstrips have slots for screw mounting so that's also an option (e.g. a GOEWS part that takes a screw that the powerstrip/hub/device then slots onto).
Ooh, interesting problem.

@nprofile…s06p at least it wasn't as "comsistent" as the HP desktops we had at work in the early aughts. IT came to me about 11 months after I started and asked if I had everything checked in or backed up since my machine was coming up on a year. Sure thing, about a month later dmsg started showing sectors starting to fail.

@nprofile…d23x yeah, early on we did a lot of focus on usability there. One user who needed black and white needed a specific approach (medium light on dark?) so that it would not literally hurt him. He described it as somewhat the visual equivalent of many people's reaction to fingernails on a chalkboard.

@nprofile…d23x the problem is... the different creative apps often used mismatched terms so icons are not straightforward to share consistently.
*If* artists are wanting to address that again, I can reenter the fight

@nprofile…28h9 hi!
Calicat! Though I like the stacktocat variant. https://www.printables.com/model/5076-stacktocat-the-stackable-calibration-cat
Then Blender for more natural sculpting, and then OpenSCAD if you want to code 3d stuff, or FreeCAD for drafting or functional prints.

So, what do people think of #Elegoo going #OpenSource with their #RFID solution for filament tracking?

@nprofile…psa7 @nprofile…a0g8 @nprofile…ngjg @nprofile…khad @nprofile…qz4x I remember phone interviewing with some company that was doing injections as part of "web acceleration". I did not follow up once i learned that aspect.
Also that was after working at AOL and learning their image compression was actually not bad... as long as you didn't dial all the settings down to their lowest values (as they did). So would have been sometime after 2004

@nprofile…kt9v Yeah, I'd mainly been avoiding Gridfinity on moral grounds until it changed its licensing earlier this year. (plus I'd finally started on my own hex based system for aesthetic reasons).
Hollows to fit paint pots in are easy, but something more functional would be good.
I just watched this video and tested their system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WZqvM-qI0U
I like the "push-button" aspect, but its design is off as it seems to take too much time and filament and is more for skinny bottles.

2025-04-06 02:42:37 UTC

Hey #MiniaturePainting peeps, how do you feel about the different paint #storage solutions and what different sizes of bottles do you end up with.
I'm finally working on getting back to it after *many* years, and am trying to prep and get set up. Aside from general #craft paint 59ml bottles I've grabbed a Vallejo bottle and one of the squat GW citadel base ones for reference.
Saw some #3DPrinting solution in a recent video, but I think I need to design my own.

Oh, look! I updated a thing!
Tuned up my #pilot #kakuno fountain pen clip to fit a little better.

Caught Denver's #SCaLE22x keynote regarding the #OpenWrtOne and ended up ordering one after getting my hands on the ones at the @nprofile…x4va booth.
The aesthetics struck me as needing some tweaks to fit into my home, so I figure I can design #3DPrinting case/covers to fit it and help with its wider apeal.
Any places i should contact as I get going?

Agonizing over which color and finish of filament to use for your mods to have a consistent aesthetic.

@nprofile…2jfw @nprofile…3sl6 for the printer, a lot might depend on your needs and how you like to approach things. Elegoo Neptune and Ender lines take more tinkering and learning the printer itself. Bambu like the A1 or mini are more plug and play.
I just upgraded to an Neptune 4 Plus last spring since I don't mind tinkering, didn't need multicolor, and wanted the larger area of the Plus (and didn't have a lot of spare cash)

@nprofile…kt9v quite different. Focus on LCS was more an assembly4 thing, while connecting faces directly is more of the new Assembly.
Some of the breakages I hit were probably from models I went through all the betas with.

@nprofile…kt9v yeah, a few things I did made it hit or miss, so I'm mainly falling back to Assembly4 at the moment

@nprofile…qyjs hmmm... I remember in the run up to the first Gulf War we started getting all sorts of stories about what poor shape our military was in, how our attack helicopters were held together with duck tape, etc.
Hmmm... also that Buggs Bunny ate carrots as a psyop in WWII to hide the fact that we had developed radar....

@nprofile…kt9v yes. Klipper. Good thing is that it's a Neptune 4 Plus, so it comes with klipper.

@nprofile…kt9v except my elegoo Neptune when I update the firmware.
Yes, neither should do that.

Oh, I know. I'll just order a M30 nut so I can be sure I'm getting this #3DPrinting piece to have correct threads. Lemme just check online right quick...
🙀 $18-$30 for one?!?!!!?!!!
Sorry guys, we'll have to just trust that this thread library is correct.
