About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed as autistic Level 1, with mild ADHD. The impact it's had on the way I view myself, and how I perceive the world, has been striking. Being late-diagnosed has led to plenty of insights, and even more questions. Making art helps me cope. #art #audhd
New figure construction achievement unlocked! I got a hold of TPU filament and altered the Scrappers balljoint design by turning the socket into an insert. It works *amazingly* well, and addresses a lot of fitment issues I was having; absolutely a gamechanger for me. #3Dprinting #robots #scrappers

I've managed to dial in the size of the Scrapper figures to something I'm happy with, I'd say it's roughly 1/18 scale. Here's a model I added some detail to with some Sharpie acrylic paint markers. Decorating these bots is fun :) #art #mech #mecha #3dprinting #robots #scrappers

I was walking my son to school this morning, and overheard a conversation of a little boy and his mom as they walked past. I heard him randomly comment "82nd grade" and I thought, yes, exactly. I don't feel like an adult, I feel like I'm in 82nd grade. #neurodivergent #adhd #autism #audhd #82ndgrade

At the edge of the Outer Rim territories sits Outpost 85, an area full of factories, shipyards, and mining stations. A lot of old technology is sent there to be decommissioned or scrapped, and it’s become known colloquially as "The Scrapheap”... #scrappers

I picked up an old Mega Bloks/Magnetix "Mag Warriors" figure on eBay to study its construction, and I knew there was a good chance there'd be compatibility with my "Scrappers" magnet experiments. I did not expect how well it would work. Look at that! #magwarriors #3dprinting #robots #scrappers

Followup on the use of magnets for swappable limbs: while the steel ball/magnetic socket setup works decently for arms, for legs it has its issues. If the body is lightweight it might be hold up, but past that, there's literally a tipping point.

Took on a side quest for "Scrappers"... Still very much playing around with ideas; it may not be practical for production, but the ease of swapping parts really lends itself to the concept. Also, MAGNETS! #3dprinting #customtoys #adhd #autism #audhd #flowstate #mech #mecha #robots #scrappers

Haven't been drawing in a while, as I've been hyperfixating on adding articulation to the "Scrapper" mechs; lots of trial and error, but these figures have come a long way compared to their original designs. Still a ways to go, but I'm confident I'm on the right track. #3Dprinting #robots #scrappers

It occurs to me that the re-evaluation of my life post-diagnosis is summarized well in the lyrics of "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads. #neurodivergent #autism #audhd #adhd
