I have made a TLT thing! Based on the skull from the TOR webbed site. I can’t wait to do more!!!!!

some process photos below the cut:

saltwater etch! Or, prep beforehand. The vinyl sticker was my resist, so anything exposed was etched away.

After the saltwater etch! Everything not covered by the vinyl sticker etched away, and the vinyl lasted juuuuuust long enough at the details on the rose & lettering that I got some beautiful little carve-outs for the petals & leaves & the “VII”. They look so fucking CRISP in these pictures.

First paint: Black paint, w/green and red in the etchings on the rose (vinyl still on, to protect the skull).

Vinyl removed! All that was left to do was paint the skull. The darker fuzzing around the edge of the skull is where the electrolyte etch started etching UNDER the vinyl 😅 and there was some uptake of the black enamel there, but nothing that couldn’t be painted over.

i've been experimenting with metal etching for the last month or so. I made myself a sleep token pendant just for fun and to see if I could do something small and detailed. It's a mess but it's MY mess. Now the questions is do i wear it to the family function tonight lol

I was gonna crop this but look at my cute dog in the bg :(((((

Made more things! Copper etching using a salt water solution and batteries for power. Two prints from Het Menselyk Bedryf ("The Book of Trades") a book of 100 engravings by Jan Luyken and his son Caspar published in 1694. Eventually I'll try and do the other 98.

Lol I return from the darkness to bring this messy doodle. Enjoy some flower pot decorating with Sun, who is definitely painting and is absolutely not distracted by lra y/n (or Sawyer as I’ve been calling them)

Heeheehoohoo back to the void I go (be on the lookout for chapter 19 in the next two weeks or so) :3

Novel etching technique enhances absorptivity of powders for metal 3D-printing

In a significant advancement for metal additive manufacturing, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and their academic partners have developed a technique that enhances the optical absorptivity of metal powders used in 3D printing. The approach, which involves creating nanoscale surface features on metal powders, promises to improve the efficiency and quality of printed metal parts, particularly for challenging materials like copper and tungsten, according to researchers. Additive manufacturing (AM)—more commonly known as 3D printing—has transformed the way products are designed and produced, allowing for the creation of complex geometries and customized components that traditional manufacturing methods struggle to achieve.
