  • Oh no, my bones!

  • Twice as long - all the structural elements are the same, you just line up more of them

  • Engineers love these things because they're real easy to design, and very efficient in usable volume vs materials (which is why they're used for every warehouse/big store/factory)

    Obviously not great for living in or anything but that's the joke :)

  • If engineers had our way all buildings would look like this

    This is the ideal building. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like 😆

  • The lern merst be drern HYERH

  • Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke - magical fantasy set in England around 1800, absolutely beautiful imo and one of those books you just live inside while you're reading it

  • I often get an error when uploading pics I've taken on my pixel - figured out it's something to do with the motion capture thing it does to get the best shot, the way to fix is just crop the photo a little, that forces it to resave as a single image and then it works fine

  • It's not really smooth up close haha just standard sorta 0.2mm layer height, sanded down a little, then I spray painted them gold which hid some of the rough spots

    And yeah I'm a big believer in repairable tech, 3d printers are huge in terms of being able to replace the kind of custom shaped plastic parts that the manufacturer doesn't sell spares of and the appliance is completely unusable without (as I'm sure is the intention 🙄 planned obsolescence is truly one of the worst things we've ever come up with)

  • I mostly use mine for functional stuff, odd shaped brackets, pipe adaptors, electronics enclosures, so not very photogenic, but my two favourite things were a replacement door latch for the microwave, saved the cost of buying a new one, and a very nerdy bit of wall art 🖖

  • Can't add anything as it's already gone to the client but it's 25cm/10" long

  • Self employed carpenter - depends on how you define "politics" but in general not much effect, people still want nice wooden stuff, but in more economical terms obv the worse the economy does the less spare money they have for them, and the more raw materials cost, and all of that is affected by politics

  • The ancient Bajorans would like a word

  • Can recommend the Air New Zealand sky couch - you book a slightly more expensive economy seat and get a whole row with a special footrest that folds all the way up flat turning it into a bed 👌

  • See: The Expanse

  • What a great and worthwhile use of huge amounts of power and water

  • Hey now, we've got some nice bits - they're all the bits with no people in
