Indeed, my mind is just aimlessly spinning out :)

I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface. Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces. Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done! But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind

Ooh, another thought:

I wonder if I could 3d print a negative, use it to mold plaster or silicone (something heat resistant enough), and use that to cast copper or aluminum for the traces.

Thinking about this more, I'd still need a diode for each key switch ... but I bet I could carve out a space inside the board for them where I could just place them before sandwiching the layers together and still not need to solder anything.

Amazing

... now I'm thinking about making a keyboard, but not needing a PCB or to solder anything

What makes you think he was joking?

In a remarkable act of defiance and solidarity, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" played the clip from the monologue that led to the suspension of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" by ABC.

It aired on CBS stations and affiliates across the country.

Black People:

What’s there to see?

And the second version is already on its way :)

Proof of concept showing that all of my measurements and modeling were spot on :)

ICE is now claiming it’s illegal to ask for a masked thug’s ID when they claim to be law enforcement.

I guess that means that we can assume they’re not LEO, and can use self-defense as we see fit.

Conservatives’ love for their children is conditional.

Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en Let's say you're a US citizen and ICE grabs you off the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia. Don't you just go to your consulate, give them your name, date of birth, etc., they make you a new passport, and you fly home? They do this all day for tourists who had their stuff & ID stolen, there are procedures. I mean obviously it sucks to have that happen to you but it's not like your life is over or anything. And the government should definitely write you a nice check as an apology. 3:13 PM • 4/16/25

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"

You’re doing a bit, right?

What a weird response. Did you reply to the wrong message?

What does that have to do with wedding attire? Are you lost?

imagine a country so furious about drag performers that it voted for polio

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

People have been trying to have the discussion for decades. Where have you been?

Isn't it odd that every time Elon has been spotted in public since the healthcare CEO was murked he's had one of his 13 kids with him?
people are speculating he is using the kid as a human shield

Maybe he can try to get to China by going through North Korea ;)

I fail to see anything there that needs defending :)

Not only that, but an account that seems to have completely missed the message of the character in his avi.

What’s fucked up about it? Am I missing something?

However they did it, it worked :)
