I started printing years and years ago but only got my own fairly recently. Ive only worked with PLA, PETG, ABA as well. Thisll be in transparent PLA with some tweaked settings for speed, layer height, infill/alingment

You can FDM print pretty translucent objects these days, think like for a light diffuser. You can still do a mold and use acrylic or whatever but there are cheaper/easier ways of doing it without a mold processes. Changing the infill, speed, and more can get you most of the way there with post

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

One of the replies to this was to add on that it essentially stores all your history and memories so it’s more of a ‘Soul Weapon’ which is a term I love and will be using lol

I'm pretty sure this is an AI-generated logo. If you look at the other versions of it on their website, every single bird is slightly different (the feet, the head, the bag).

I mean, this sucks, no?

A screenshot of the Sackbird website that says "seek the sack" (horrible) followed by four images of a black bird with a bindle and a human arm. there are minor variations in the art - some birds have bigger heads, or more fingers, or flatter feet.

Around 100-150 people singing and playing instruments on the lawn here. Extremely chill.

Across the driveway, a large number of state troopers and sheriff's officers have set up a tent, arrest wagons, a staging area.

“The famous thing is, we basically sold Disney a film that we had no way to make. When we started the movie, the tools to make it didn’t exist. [Director Steven Lisberger] had the balls to go in with this idea and say, ‘We’re gonna figure it out.’ I don’t think there’s ever been a film like Tron.”

Well that didn’t last long. Protesters have moved onto the west side of 25th, on the same side as the ICE facility.

I count at least 9 vans that appear to be arriving state troopers.

It’s funny when they accuse digital artists and game devs of being anti-tech because like…buddy, my guy, do you think we make these things with twigs and rocks? We’re all about the tech. Game dev is like a magnet industry for people who take it apart just to learn how it works, and then improve it

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.
