I took more cursed thermal images with my thermal-thermal camera contraption at #FC2025! I also exported the raw images this time, as some of them have neat details that were lost when printed. The box-o-gen and balloon dog in particular have some great details that got scrunched pretty hard

A grid of 9 thermal images printed on receipt paper. The images are nearly unintelligible. Some include fursuits with glowing hollow empty eyes. Some show what appear to be normal people. One shows two giant inflatable starfish dancing.

A grid of 16 thermal images printed on receipt paper. The images are nearly unintelligible. Some include fursuits with glowing hollow empty eyes in various positions. One fursuit appears to have captured a human victim. Some images show what appear to be normal people. One shows a giant balloon dog.

A grid of 9 grayscale thermal images. These images are much higher quality than their printed counterparts. Some include fursuits with glowing hollow empty eyes. Two depict fursuits inside a giant coffee mug. Some show what appear to be normal people. One shows two giant inflatable starfish dancing.

The post might have been picked up by one of bsky's automated feeds. I made a lamp that bsky decided was a cat picture suitable for the cat pic feed. The sudden influx of bots and very unrelated people was bizarre

Happy New Year from Pawprint Prototyping 🎆🎆🎆 Here’s to another year of projects, e-waste and friends ❤️🐾🍾

the red “not simon says” paw pad glows and dimly lights the main machine and workspace room of pawprint prototyping. the scrolling sign on the left wall talks about long past Upcoming Events. the light of the pick and place machine lights up the back room

I had a ton of fun making mine, and I really hope that others can have the same experience. I'm still stunned by how many people liked the project, and more so by how positive everyone has been. Getting thousands of notifications in a day is anxiety inducing but you've all been wonderful ❤️

I intend to release the STLs to verified Hyenid owners in the creator's Discord, but I strongly encourage everyone who wanted a lamp to try making one from scratch. It's a great learning opportunity for some Blender basics, like working with edit mode, mesh bisecting, and using the boolean modifier.

Geo @bamboozlewzl.bsky.social · Dec 28

Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to publicly release the STLs for this. The author of the VRChat avatar this is based on has requested that the files be limited to people who have purchased the full model. That is their decision to make and I will be respecting it.

I made the lamp from A Christmas Story but worse :>

A cursed lamp. The lamp is shaped like a hyena leg. The leg is wearing a thigh-high fishnet legging. The lampshade atop the leg has black fringe. This view shows the spots on the outside of the thigh.

A scene within a hackerspace. The scene depicts a table with a laptop, a serial terminal, and a lamp. The laptop is ruggedized. The terminal has an amber display showing an angry "owo" face. The lamp is shaped like a hyena leg. The lamp is wearing a thigh-high fishnet.

it's a sight to behold when all the lights are off at pawb

Geo's hyena leg lamp with most of the lights off at the hackerspace. Most lights are off except a light in the back room, a faint blue glow from the Simon Says game, and the lamp itself. The lamp is illuminating the table in a moody way.

The mesh was taken from the Hyenid VRChat avatar by @alberarts.bsky.social, chopped in to 4 chunks, printed out with 2kg of PLA, glued and pinned together, and then painted and sanded a bunch. It definitely needed more sanding and higher print quality, but luckily fishnets hide a lot of crimes.

Three raw 3D printed objects on a table. The objects are parts of a hyena leg. There is a paw, an ankle (I think), and a thigh.

A 3D printed hyena leg standing on a table. There is a new lampshade in its packaging on top of the leg.

A telephoto shot looking through a hackerspace. There is an open roll-up door at the end of the space. At the threshold of the door stands an upside down hyena leg with a base coat of tan paint.

A disembodied hyena leg standing on a table. The table has materials and tools for airbrush painting. The leg has a partially finished paint job with a tan base coat and dark brown markings.

I saw a similar build posted by R0rek on birdsite and hyperfixation hit hard. A few late nights at @pawprintprototyping.org later and the object had been summoned.

Here are a few more shots from the thermal-thermal camera contraption at #mff2024. In hindsight, I probably should have asked people if they wanted to be tagged and what their handles were. Giving them a crappy print out and disappearing was more fun though lol

Three very low quality prints of thermal images. One depicts a top-down view of a pile of fursuiters under the fishbowl. I think. Another depicts three inflatable Marios in the lobby of the DESCC. The last print is a staffer posing for the camera.

Three very low quality prints of thermal images. One depicts two fursuiters waving at the camera. Their eyes glow menacingly. Another depicts an otter posing for the camera. The last depicts some people in line for a panel.

Three very low quality prints of thermal images. One depicts a fursuit. I think. Another depicts a feline suit posing for the camera outside of the dance. The last depicts frozone posing for the camera in Artist's Alley.

It's been pretty good! I've been running the whole setup for over 9 hours today and the 37w (advertised) USB battery pack is still at ~35% - and that's while broadcasting a WiFi AP for maintenance too
My only complaint about the Zero W 2 is that it's still micro-USB :/
