You know real news is getting too bizarre when the Onion needs to resort to a story like this.

A top-down perspective of a counter on which the stainless steel platform of an espresso machine is visible in the top frame. In the middle of the frame to the left is a plate with a partially consumed piece of dark chocolate. To the right is a large mug with a latte. The milk foam is forming a pattern that bears a moderate resemblance to the Mandelbrot set fractal.

It appears my latte is attempting to render a Mandelbrot set. Accidental #StupidLatteArt

I first printed a PLA block sized just right so that I could pause the print at the appropriate height and use it as supports for the bridging TPE. Turning off the fan allowed the delicate strands to adhere and not flop around, resulting in perfect overhangs.

I love #3DPrinting. Our doggie daycare needed our dogs to have nametags with phone numbers (blacked out here) in case there are other dogs that looks similar.

I designed these in @freecadnews.bsky.social and printed them in Recreus Filaflex 82A on my @elegoo.bsky.social Centauri Carbon.

A top-down photo of a latte in a blue mug with a face drawn in milk foam. This face has a mustache with five lobes, maybe a little closer to that of the mustachioed protagonist of a certain video game. The eyes are simple dots, rather than "googly."

Happy #MarioDay (Mar10)!

While my #StupidLatteArt can't quite capture Mario's likeness (probably good from a liability standpoint), I at least tried to get his bushy 'stache.

something truly amazing without using stolen property to train his tool. He has made the tool open-source for anyone to use, as long as they follow the open-source license.

It's a gift from VFX artists to VFX artists, and I applaud the Corridor Digital team.

get past mundane tasks that take painstaking processes to complete. Not creative work, just sweat-on-the-brow processes that have the potential to be semi-automated using an AI process. This, in turn, allows an artist to make the best use of their creative skills.

From my AI rants in the past, some might think I'm against AI. I'm not. I'm against being naive about AI and its use. I'm against rushing into plastering AI into everything, without considering the consequences.

But this is precisely where I see AI being useful: helping people

I do too. Far too many have demonized the innocent, equating them with their leader or prevailing law. Too many kind people are lost to the cruel machine of propaganda.

Same reason why, for many Intel/AMD users, a smaller core count makes more sense because the reduced cores can generally run faster.

Interesting. A $600 machine with a phone processor.

Now I wonder: is it going to run Tahoe or some offshoot of their mobile OS?

And, as for CAD, yes. I'm getting a few of my kids (3 out of 4) into CAD. It's a powerful tool and they are just amazing with it.

I only very briefly got to meet him at MRRF 2017. However, even in that brief encounter, he left an indelible, positive impression on me. He happened to do a lecture that year on some of E3D's latest developments, one of which, if I recall correctly, was the toolchanger.

He was brilliant.

Dammit. I wish I could actually go one of these years. I'd love to meet a lot of the cool people on the other side of the ocean.

Well, that and SMRRF is such a cool combo of a good cause and a rep-rap fest.

I miss Sanjay.

Dom has touched on three of my interests with FDM 3D printing - flexible filaments (which freaking rock), practical prints, and home repair.

Seriously, I want to live to see a day where 3D printers are even more of an appliance, and nearly everyone can simply look up a part that some dedicated

You friggin' rock. That was an excellent video, and it's cool to see that it resulted in action. (Your solar video was also fantastic.)
