I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

Old account: @MxRemy@lemmy.one (if lemmy.one hasn't died yet)

  • Nothing to add, just wanted to say this is awesome lol

  • In advance, I always plan to at least make them from biodegradable PHA so I'm not contributing to micro plastics. But also I hate wasting my precious PHA on it, because the stuff is so hard to get lol

  • Yeahhhh, the makerspace I work at gets constant requests for these kinda things and it irritates me to no end... Totally feel your frustration.

  • In addition to Loops, there was also Vidzy and Goldfish, but I don't think they still exist?

  • I love WAFRN so much 😭

  • This person clearly comes from the Jean-Henri Faber school of entomology

  • I definitely agree lol, that's why I teach people how in the local library makerspace. We've a really nice Mitutoyo accurate down to 0.02mm!

  • From a big vernier caliper fan, this RULES!! 😍

  • This rules, can't wait to see how federation works!! It seems like each project shows up in the fediverse as an actor? Like for example this project: @3dc33whtlsnx@3dprint.social

    I kind of naively thought they'd show up as posts or something. Maybe what this means is, all the subcontent of the project show up as posts instead? If so, that seems pretty neat! Like potentially the 3d files themselves federate out as posts?

    Not sure why I'm wildly speculating when all this is surely documented somewhere lol

  • You can from Mastodon! Not sure from Pixelfed but it seems probable? With mastodon it's something like... you just @ mention the community, and have one separate line at the top to become the post title? I think?

  • It does have groups! And they're even interoperable with Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin groups. The experience is definitely very Facebook like, and there are themes that make it even more so.

    On the other hand, every instance I've ever been on has run into serious lag issues and/or collapsed entirely... Hoping that's not universal or else gets fixed soon.

  • Whoaa public instance! That's AMAZING, will definitely be there! ❤

  • Does Manyfold support SVGs/etc? It seems awesome but it might be self-host only, not sure there are any public instances.

  • While i definitely agree, none of this is a deal breaker for me. What is a deal breaker is this: I am on my third Friendica account now because the first 2 instances both started struggling and then collapsed. The one I'm on now is suddenly running very slow, just like the first 2 before the end. It seems to me like maybe they're kinda hard to run?

  • I'm always soooo excited for native fediverse apps, because PWAs are annoying in a bunch of ways. But then it actually happens, and I remember that none of the cool themes will be in there 😅

    This is still AWESOME though!! I think that's what was holding a lotttttt of people off, waiting for an app

  • That's definitely more how like laser cutters and cnc mills do it right? Although maybe that's more for removing debris than cooling. Seems like a good idea, unless it's too much pressure and starts deflecting the plastic while it's still molten.

  • This project is awesome, great job! I get what you mean about the whole "quadruple the price and effort" thing, but stuff like this is so important. Whatever technology enables the current air filter industry to make their stuff so cheap is likely some proprietary BS that doesn't even work at small scales anyway, right? So if/when we ever lose access to that, we'll need stuff like this to fill the gap.

  • We use it very regularly in our makerspace, although yeah like you say, the supply and color availability is lacking unfortunately. Fingers crossed it gets better as more people show an interest in it

  • Ohh this probably makes more sense in places other than where I live. Nothing here gets recycled at all unfortunately... Were the larger objects unable to be recycled otherwise?
