Matthew Tarling is here! @rocksbydefault.bsky.social

Interested in 3D printing your own thin section boxes? I am providing the .STL files for a few different models, for free!!! Check out: matthewtarling.github.io/printing/

This is really clever. Much more useful for actual petrology than my device. I'm going to look into how I could modify the design to be closer to what you've come up with and a little more practical for at-home petrology.

Wood petrographic microscopes sounds so cool! Do you have a picture? How did they work?

I'm so excited to share with you "Viewing the Rock World", an outreach project based on a 3D-printable thin section viewer that anyone can make! Looking for teachers educators, student outreach groups interested in participating! Check out matthewtarling.github.io/outreach/ for more info.
