  I just love those decorations, they are perfect in every detail! This #hotpink screen missing green channel! This sideways #BSOD! Feels right for this "end of the year" chaotic vibes.

  @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt it's an abbreviation ADZE stands for Agressive Dissector Z-plane Edge, ADXE and ADYE are for blades in X-plane and Y-plane respectively. Here's a 3d-rendering showing the AD*E axis naming convention. Axe is just a common misspelling of ADXE, which became acceptable like disk/disc

  I'm so happy for Chris Fehn for finding a place in a way better band after parting ways with #Slipknot. #AngineDePoitrine

  @luana #BOSL2 is super powerful for that, it has lots of rounding possibilities for extending 2d geometries into 3d space in many fancy (and also rounded) ways, for rounding edges where multiple of those fancy extrusions meet, and also rounding masks, that you can subtract from regular 3d geometries, that you made without BOSL2 extrusion methods. Rounded cubes are also there of course. BSD-2-Clause license. Some contributors use claude/copilot, but I didn't notice any bad code yet. Other tha...

  Ah yes, the four #genders

  Shame on me, today I took a fake generated video for a real one. It was a Jimmy Fallon's interview of #AngineDePoitrine and it was obviously a parody/joke, which lowered my guard. I was like, wow, such an elaborate makeup on their heads, I wonder why the rest of it is done so sloppy? Why is the audience acting so weird, is it always like that on TV or is it a deliberate comment on society? Even when directly after introduction they went to a commercial break, my first thought was &qu...

  Wasn't #OpenAi supposed to cherry-pick the best pictures for image2.0 presentation on the front page? I don't know what would be worse: 1. That's the best they have 2. They didn't want us to notice, therefore high speed 3. They don't care if anyone notices Lots of inconsistencies in "technical" drawings, lots of spaghetti hands, but this triple-handed lady is my favorite. Bearded Einstein, bending space-time so that 1905 fits into &q...

  Guess who has a looper, a #microtonal guitar that also kinda works as bass and a surprizing amount of commitment? I've 3d-printed and temporarily glued custom fretlets of perfect height and shape to try this famous 24TET #AngineDePoitrine stuff. I had to do it before investing into building proper microtonal double-neck and other fancy gear.

  It's not just that I'm very skeptical about the tonewood concept. I have pretty punk background, so I've dealt with lots of guitars, that can be concidered bad. But never in my life have I seen a #guitar body made of chipboard. Like, literally #particleboard, the stuff that #crappyfurniture is made of. The neck is fine, I can work with it, but even a hoarder like me can't think of a reason not to throw the body to trash. #punkasfuck

  I've decided to go for it. I'm building a replica of Doubleneck de Poitrine. I've bought a 40€ #guitar and a 50€ #bass, laid out a rough shape and I'm gonna buy some #tonewood in a local hardware store now. It's a 17€ spruce plank, which I cut in three pieces and glue side by side to get the width. I haven't decided on a couple of things yet. Firstly, I'm not sure if I want to reshape the headstocks to match the original #AngineDePoitrine...

  Oh, did I mention, that the said barrell jack is permanently glued in the least standard-compliant and serviceable way possible? Mwahaha! Also positive terminal on the outside, negative center! Well, the last part is not my fault, it's the polarity of the thing, that my device was designed to power. It's a battery backpack for a Valeton GP-5 guitar/bass pedal. And the glued jack thing is because I failed at measuring the thread. It was supposed to be screwed in. #guitarpedal #basspedals...

  I've just invented a drafted linear extrusion for #OpenSCAD without using roof() or minkowski(), and also not limited to convex 2d geometries as in convex_offset_extrude() from #BOSL2. I didn't stumble upon this solution anywhere else, so I might be onto something. I present to you module drafted_extrude(height,angle,$fn) { intersection_for(a=[360/$fn:360/$fn:360]) linear_extrude(height=height,v=[cos(a),sin(a),tan(angle)]) children(); } I need to work on $fn and convexity p...

  @forse yeah, I tend to wrap all repeating elements into for loops, even if it doesn't make the code much shorter; just to make sure I don't change one cylinder() instance while forgetting to change the mirrored one, or something like that. Apropos, while thinking about adding chamfer on your part I accidentally invented one more way, that works on vanilla OpenSCAD without libraries or experimental features: module drafted_extrude(height,angle,$fn) { intersection_for(a=[360/$fn:36...

  @forse Here's an example: length=85; width=60; thickness=8; offsets=[0,18,36]; r=2; module cs() { offset(r=-r) offset(r=2*r) offset(r=-r) { difference() { union() { circle(d=width); translate([-width/2,0])square([width,length-width/2]); } circle(d=width-2*thickness); translate([-width/2+thickness,0])square([width-2*thickness,length-width/2]); } for (y=offsets) translate([-width/2,length-width/2-thickness-y]) square([width,thicknes...

  I'm making some ring lights for shooting small objects with small cameras (like 3d-prints with my phone camera and such) and bought a bunch of 2€ rechargeable lights as a cheap source of 30x30mm COB LEDs and also to salvage some extra parts. I didn't expect any reasonable quality from them, but I expected them to be a little more consistent. The three Li-ion cells (50 mAh, 150 mAh and 300 mAh) you see on the second picture came from the same batch. The LEDs are all good enough an...

  What should I do in #Karlsruhe if I have 2 hours? I'm done with BaWu stuff and need to kill some time waiting for my train. Seems like half of my fediverse bubble is in Karlsruhe, so probably a right place to ask

  I started playing guitar 20+ years ago, I always repaired and set up my instruments myself, fiddled with electronics, swapped parts, and even built one guitar from scratch (DIY neck, DIY bridge, custom pickup) and thought I knew everything. It turns out being a bedroom guitarist I barely scratched the surface. Only last year playing in a band for 4-5 hours once a week showed me how much nuanced setting up an instrument could be. I've made the nut for my 8-string (bought originally as def...

  @FluffyMonoceros it was a self-organized session, I also didn't notice and almost missed it. Fortunately someone invited me after the OpenAutoLab talk

  Maybe I used the wrong search terms or didn't scroll the search results for too long, but I didn't find any good D-shaft knobs on Printables/Thingiverse. Either the geometry of the shaft part was all wrong and non-compliant, or the knob was pointing in the wrong direction, or I didn't like the shape for some other reason. Since I had to model anyway, I just made a replica of the original thing I was trying to replace in #OpenSCAD. It's based on pictures of the ori...

  There are 1024 Grams in Kilogram, right? I'm sending something and I've chosen a "2 kg Paket" in DHL online shop. The package weighs exactly 2048.0 grams. It's not exceeding 2 Kilograms, right?
