Well that’s one way to plug your memory leaks

Hah I totally whispered that line in the theater when it came out! The Matrix had come out recently so you just couldn’t unsee it.

What I love about this movie is that despite the dystopian society, the writers still have an optimistic (naive?) take on things. IIRC once the news reporter gets the evidence and the truth comes out, the evil corporation is somehow thwarted.

I second the suggestion of befriending the dog: get some good dog treats and essentially train it. Imagine the look on the neighbor’s face if everyone is outside and the dog obeys your verbal commands. Delicious!

I already have a pair of shoes that are permanently imbued with this fragrance 😂

Good idea! Unfortunately this chip doesn’t have a 5G radio 😭

I mean all the components have a purpose, none are just there for decoration

There is an RGB led in the lower right, so yes if you program it to! I didn’t make provisions for battery power on this one though so it’s not meant to light up while worn. The unpopulated spot in the upper right is for the microcontroller. My wife preferred the look of the processor missing so I didn’t solder one down on hers.

Boards are fiberglass at their core so most cutting tools work just fine—hacksaw, jigsaw, dremel, bandsaw. It’s abrasive though so a note of caution that it will wear out cutters quicker

It’s kind of like a microprocessor development board—there are a few different circuits to play with that are connected to the processor. So ultimately it won’t do anything unless you stick some code inside

Ahh it’s still available! linky

A keyboard is essential so it’s not mobile appropriate.

Isn’t this game made by the same person/group that did QWOP and GIRP? Man I miss girp that was the first and only game I tried speedrunning.

Does that top surface feel ridged? To me this looks more like an issue with either overextrusion or z offset too low than temperature.

The way that the heaters turn on and off is by using a gcode command. So my first thought is that somehow the new slicing profile is not spitting out those commands. Try comparing the generated gcode from slicing the same model in both versions and see what’s different. The temperature commands have to be at the start so should be easy to find. The gcode commands themselves are very googleable.

(Apologies for ChatGPT, I’m not a great writer, but I couldn’t help but imagine what this would be like haha)

INT. KLINGON QUARTERS - DAY

Gowron, the fierce Klingon leader, stands before an easel with a paintbrush in hand. Worf, the stoic Klingon warrior, reluctantly joins him.

GOWRON (roaring) Today, Worf! We paint the glory of battle, the splatter of blood on our blades!

Worf scowls but follows Gowron’s lead, dipping his brush into the vibrant red paint.

GOWRON (CONT’D) (roaring) Now, Worf, let the brush roar like a disruptor, leaving chaos in its wake!

Worf hesitates, then starts applying the paint with a fierce stroke.

GOWRON (CONT’D) (roaring) Excellent! Let the canvas be a battleground, where each stroke is a strike against our enemies!

Gowron continues with his Klingon interpretation of Bob Ross’s techniques, creating a chaotic masterpiece. Worf struggles to keep up.

WORF (grumbling) This is not the way of warriors, Gowron. We do not paint. We conquer!

GOWRON (roaring with laughter) But, Worf! Conquer your canvas, let the colors scream like a victorious war cry!

Worf grumbles, attempting to make his battlefield scene more ferocious.

GOWRON (CONT’D) (roaring) Remember, Worf! Each brushstroke is like the roar of a targ, wild and untamed!

Worf, frustrated, accidentally smears paint across his forehead while brushing his hair back. Gowron bursts into laughter.

GOWRON (CONT’D) (roaring with laughter) See, Worf? Even the mishaps become battle scars on the canvas!

Worf glares at Gowron, the painting resembling a chaotic battle scene mixed with unintentional comic elements.

WORF (displeased) This is not the Klingon way, Gowron.

GOWRON (grinning) (roaring) Ah, but Worf! Sometimes, the true warrior finds honor in unexpected places. Art knows no limits!

Sweet! I need one of those too. Do these use vacuum or blow air?

I did something similar. I would get about as far as writing the interesting mechanic/game logic and then give up.

Another vote for prusa here. The recently added organic supports are really awesome. It’s enabled me to print some things I previously would not have attempted.

I really hope someone has the skills to make a super cut video of this!

You guys have projects that end??
