So I have fully jumped on the claw clip bandwagon, in large part because they are less damaging to my hair than elastics and also because they actually hold my fine-with-lots-of-curly-body hair very securely, especially if I want to put the full length up

(Also as a 90's kid there is also no small amount of nostalgia tied to them, hello tiny rainbow butterfly clips)

However, in my hunt for fun and whimsical designs, I have found plenty of cottagecore-esque plant designs as well as some animals, but have noticed a near total lack of Western/winged dragon claw clips (as well as my own more niche interests like ravens and German Shepherds and maybe a feather/quill pen).

...I'm gonna have to break out the modeling software and find a 3D printer to rectify this, aren't I.

Injection moulding processes can offer flexible design and manufacturing options to adapt to different packaging needs and provide strong support for the development of the packaging industry.

These areas above are just a few examples of the application areas of the injection moulding process. In the toy industry, injection moulded parts are used to manufacture a variety of plastic toys; In the textile and clothing industry, injection moulded parts are used to manufacture accessories such as zips and buttons; In the agricultural sector, injection moulded parts are used to manufacture agricultural tools and equipment such as sprayers and watering cans; Even in the aerospace sector, injection moulded parts are also used to manufacture parts for aircraft and spacecraft. It can be said that injection moulded parts have penetrated into almost every corner of our life.

In summary, injection moulded parts play an important role in several industries by virtue of their high precision, low cost and wide applicability. The application of injection moulding process in these areas not only improves production efficiency, but also meets the needs of product diversification and individualisation. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous improvement of people's requirements on product quality, injection moulding technology will continue to be widely used and developed in various fields.

it's cool to have my parts come in and test them out and see the phenomena from my injection molding textbook play out in front of me. look at that! it breaks right at that stress concentration! or when overloaded here, it breaks right at the weld line! there's shrinkage here and here! even stuff like anisotropic strength due to the orientation of the glass fibers and the polymer strands is right there in front of my eyes. yes!! yes!!

I think 2024 will have more text musings from me. Idk tho.

But here is one anyways:

The dream would be 3d modeling on pc and producing 3d print works like figurines but painting is legit impossible for me due to health now lol, guess I have to wait until the Statasys PolyJet/BJP patent expires in a decade+, so that consumer level color/transparency/multimaterial printers can become available. $50,000 for the base machine is not affordable lmafo.

Honestly with the rate at which certain tech advances, it truely feels like patents in those specific fields stunt global advancement for decades. Feels criminal.

For things like 3d printers that are able to print with different materials, colors, and transparencies, it could truely save lives and at minimum drastically improve livelihoods, so it is so bizarre that tech like this is gatekept and not shared to be expanded on and innovated on by others.

This is also a problem in the gaming industry, (albeit at less severity, but still ridiculous). Tell me why there was a DECADES long patent on "mini games during loading screens" that was barely even used before it expired? And the nemesis system...

Obviously, patents have a use and can be very important in making sure creators are not taken advantage of or ripped off (in fact it will likely be a saving grace for taking down unethically sourced data for the current scummy unregulated generative ai models out there), but in certain situations like 3d printing it is straight up detrimental gatekeeping that benefits no one.
