I just asked the office that did the CT scan for a copy!

Let me know if you make a mug out of it!

I used CT scan data to 3D print my skull and you can, too! 💀

It’s a very strange feeling to be holding a 1:1 life-size replica of your own skull, but it’s a cool point in history that we’re able to do this! 🧠

Classic, happens to me all the time! How’d you catch the problem?

I've got more filament than I could print in a lifetime, so this should be great 🤣

OK, I'm convinced! I've wanted to try this out for a while, and you made it look so easy!

I saw this! I read a summary but haven’t done a deep dive yet. Is the idea to decouple motion instructions from sensor / other instructions?

Amazing work from folks at JHU.edu posted to Nature. Wide ranging improvements to material controls for any NC equipment especial DIW #3DPrinting. This would also make arc overhangs more feasible in a generalized case. @joeltelling.bsky.social @andrewsink.xyz

That looks like so much fun!

Ugh, that sucks. Sorry man!

That’s really clever!

Hanging out at the airport is usually when I clean up my 3D scans, but today I'm working on a slightly different kind of 3D scan 👀

'Hey, want to see what I'll look like in 100 years?' - my wife didn't think it was as clever as I did 🤣

Stoked!

The original 2010 model had a few holes and some mesh issues, and I've wanted to clean it up and post it for a few years.

Print one yourself and test your 3D printer!

Want to try a ~45 minute test print for your 3D printer?

The 'Double Helix Challenge' was one of my favorite prints from the early Thingiverse era, and it's a great cooling test for your 3D printer.

That’s really clever, nice work!

Printed some new keys for my Oskitone Poly555 3D printed synth!

Ugh, what a headache.

There’s a drop box right near my house, but something like ~50% of the packages I would drop would never get scanned in.

I always assumed they were just getting lost, never occurred to me that someone would be stealing them!

Oh wow, that’s actually a really clever idea
