i want to take touichirou apart like a computer

[practicalsolutions]

The model looks about the same as the last time, but I did a lot of work to make it parametric instead of dimensioned to whatever I thought was about right. This way I can configure the length between each joint (instead of every individual distance), and the model should update accordingly.

With this 'refining' of the model, I can set configurations for each finger with different lengths and widths. Each joint is the same size for each finger, so I can delete the middle segment and join a first and last segment to create the thumb.

Also, this will likely be the color I'll use for the main gunslinger finger parts. (Not including the other 'fun' variants I'll likely make).

Yeah yeah 3d printing is cool and whatever, you can make little plastic trinkets and a few utilities or whatever, but what we really need for at home making is ways to print circuit boards and fabricate components, and open source communities trading designs for them.

Like, I don't give a fuck about creating a fancy new phone holder or whatever if you are still dependent on (relatively) few companies and foundries for your phone's components and PCBs.

Improve LSR injection molding mold temperature and warpage with special-shaped oil circuit and mold

Due to rapid development of 3D printing technology, designers can use 3D metal printing to design more in line with requirements of oil circuit, which can be close to contour of product when designing, so as to solve dead angle and heat accumulation of product. The more complex geometric shape of product will be more obvious, and this type of waterway design is usually called Conformal…

“Fossils”

I used blender to design some rocks with its fancy rock button. The circuit texture was made with a displacement effect on a cut edge. I’ll make a post with the textures so people can see what I did & steal em if they want.

I started 3D printing these but realize my FEP has a ripple in it and I need to do some maintenance. But I’m tired and disappointed.

finally my art residency is over, culminating in an exhibition. i created an installation about tech liberating women from a radfem perspective, through re-mater-ializing women's history. specfically female warriors, queens and goddesses from one matriarchal society that ACTUALLY existed in 400 bc. i remodeled and 3D printed artifacts of this society, depicting these warriors, goddesses and queens (the smaller parts of the installation). if tech in male hands can erase and dismember women, it can also do the opposite in ours. i succeeded in making a piece that doesn't mention moids at all and inspires #hopeforwomen by combining a futuristic aesthetic and ancient female history.

the installation is made from wood that i cut by saw and by laser. it's a shrine that is separated in three parts: the mother (bottom disk, depicting a vulva, symbolizing reproductive creativity), the maiden (the middle disk that looks like an electronic circuit, representing curiousity, thirst for knowledge, innovation - scientific and technological creativity ) and the crone (top parts, artistic creativity and history, features 3D printed Scythian artifacts that depict their matriarchs and goddesses, and laser cut red plexiglass that symbolizes menstrual blood and radiates technomatriarchal vibes from the top of the piece lol). the maiden/circuit part has an NFC tag. If you touch it with your phone, it opens the historical resources about the Scythian matriarchy&amazons. the maiden and the mother disk are connected by a reprinted Scythian artifact that depics the Great snake-legged Goddess.

the exhibition opening was a huge hit and there were several hundreds of people who visited it, a record for that gallery. i heard praise of my work and one woman was so touched (it reminded her of her spiritual yonic awakening) we exchanged contact information :) common radfem W all around

A couple people said they were interested so I took a few pics of me connected to the monitor. Unfortunately they didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped, I might need to take these at night so there’s no glare on the monitor screen. Just to put it out there so no one gets discouraged that they can’t get pics to turn out like this, I did a lot of editing in photoshop to get these to turn out like this. Let me know what you think and if you’d like to see more.

3D-printed solutions shield electronics from electrostatic discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a significant concern in the chemical and electronics industries. In electronics, ESD often causes integrated circuit failures due to rapid voltage and current discharges from charged objects, such as human fingers or tools. With the help of 3D printing techniques, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are "packaging" electronics with printable elastomeric silicone foams to provide both mechanical and electrical protection of sensitive components. Without suitable protection, substantial equipment and component failures may occur, leading to increased costs and potential workplace injuries. The team's research is featured in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

"It seems like a new Silicon Valley startup could change the face of the battery industry forever by utilizing 3D printers to print solid-state batteries.

Solid-state batteries have advantages over lithium-ion because they aren’t flammable, they’re more easily recycled, work in extreme cold, and have greater energy density.

Solid-state batteries have traditionally been difficult to machine manufacture. But by using 3D printing arrays filled with powder, Sakuu systems can make these batteries not only using 40% less material, but in almost any shape the customer might want.

An electric bike could be powered by a battery that hugs a section of the central chassis, or a smartphone’s battery could run all the way around the frame of a circuit board. These unorthodox shapes are just one of the many advantages that Sakuu believe they can offer.

“Many people have built cells in the lab, but they have not been able to scale,” Sakuu CEO and founder Robert Bagheri told Fast Company. “Our vision started with that scalability in mind.”

The array, known as a Kavian, is much smaller than the traditional, “roll to roll” battery manufacturing methods, and because the powder loaded into the 3D printers can be extremely precise, there’s a 40% reduction in materials usage—a huge cost savings over competitors.

The batteries they print can be charged to 80% in just 15 minutes.

Because they can be printed in any shape, all kinds of clever innovations are possible, in all kinds of industries from e-mobility products to wearables and small devices. The company is even working with an aviation company that wants solid-state batteries for their aircraft with holes through the middle of it to help with heat management."

circuit breaker [9 ch. doom 2 mod installation, Xbox 360 controller, Win 7 PC, fridge, 3D print with recycled PETG bottles containing a USB stick with a MacOS rootkit, laser cut tribal lithography and a short story, 2 backsides of monitors, mdf laser cut, acrylic laser cut containing an article from The Intercept about the FBI ISIS grooming scandal of Mateo Ventura, self made nails, 3 computer fans with stickers, laser cut vcr rack, monitor arm with a 3d fan animation, 3d print with silver silk PLA, 3D printed frames with green translucent PLA, alu-dibond prints on speaker stands] As much as we are connected through the wire, digital tremors beyond the deceleration of digital literacy are operating on a daily basis to eliminate the possibility of an utopian future. So far, the social media canon is embellished in its own need for disinformation, as the user turns from being a victim to a target. The circuit breaker serves as neologism of a rough awakening, of an absent, impotent reflection of a mirage we call cultural consensus and the loss of visions for an alternative future. Beyond dark forests and hidden swamps lie metaphysical caskets for our souls, shapeshifting into forms of server racks, hard drives, deep down adorned with white lights, where the cancellation of a subscription or the mere lack of back up destroys over decade old, cultivated mycelium-like dependent relationships between admin, mod and user. No amount of spiritual, paganistic and religious fanaticism survives as soon as you meet eye to eye with this on petroleum operating soul reaver. The works exhibited in „circuit breaker“ are exploring the relationships between materials and tools that turn the immaterial into analogue sculptures, text into thoughts and fears, the involuntary participation in a post-truth world that turns us into targets for all kinds of fun psychological operations.

U know what time it is? That's right! New cosplay time! Ridill arindite from reflectionttrpg to be specific!

Photos too :3

I go more into detail in the video about how I built her but here's the run down!

I patterned and sewed the outfit as per the usual, and hand dyed the lining and socks with a gradient as well as adding in fairy lights! The battery pack for the lights is in a bag in back on one of the belts.

I'm really sorry I don't have the usual quality photos, I recently moved and don't have my cosplays with me at the current moment.

All the triangles are cut out with a circuit and are made of iron on vinal!

Finally I 3d modeler and printed the orbs on the staff, the pole is PVC wrapped in car vinal!

Again I'm really sorry I don't have the detailed photos, next cosplay will have them again!

Thank you so much for reading!
