Feeling very pleased with how my custom lighting controller came out. Each knob controls up to 6 parameters, which can be selected by pressing the buttons below. The left side controls color and the right side controls texture (motion and dynamics). This is for https://shade.city 's giant inflatable ring light, Halo.

It connects via ESPnow to a custom LED driver to drive addressable LEDs. You can save presets on NFC tags too.

(Yes the link on it doesn't go anywhere yet)

Random 2AM find: The standard #openscad in your package manager is from 2021. The nightly has a new multithreaded renderer that is like 100x faster.

To print something onto a disc, I then place the disc onto the print bed and secure it in the center with a piece of tape. To prepare the gcode for the print job, I use #Inkscape, #OpenSCAD & #PrusaSlicer. I first create the label in Inkscape. All text needs to be converted to paths, so OpenSCAD uderstands it. I then load the exported SVG into OpenSCAD and extrude it slightly with linear_extrude, so it is exactly the height of a printing layer. The result is then sliced and sent to the printer.

@dbauer #SolveSpace feels a bit like something between #OpenSCAD (ultra solid workhorse, approachable in an interesting way, though limited in annoying places) and #FreeCAD (ridiculously powerful, but complex, thus massive learning curve, also crash-prone).

TIL:
#openSCAD umí udělat projekci, vyexportovat ji do DXF a přes třeba LibreCAD se dá pak okótovat a udělat z ní výkres 👀

🤔 Ah, yes, because nothing screams #innovation like using a $500 3D printer to replace the age-old skill of #handwriting postcards! ✍️😂 Who knew the future would be full of pen-stabbed printer beds and the clunky charm of OpenSCAD? 🖨️📬

Writing Postcards With a 3D Printer

I read Amy Goodchild’s blog post about digitizing her handwriting in JavaScript a while ago and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I didn’t end up digitizing my own handwriting, but it pushed me toward a smaller idea: clamp a ballpoint pen to my 3D printer and let it write postcards for me. This post is the story of getting there, including the part where my printer almost drove the pen straight through the bed.

Sometimes you can pick up on a former project and move on as if you left off a day ago.
Made a rounded rectangular version of the vienna weave pattern basket with #OpenSCAD for #3dprinting
Perhaps I should dust the printer tomorrow.

I can't even remotely express the amount of sorrow and disappointment I feel when I see how widely the most unimportant events, like some team getting a point in a current worldwide #sportsball competition, are celebrated.
If only a tiniest fraction of that attention could be gained around just a slightly more important unimportant thing, like, a release of a new version of #OpenSCAD or something.
Looking at you, Germany, waking me up at about 23:30 with your disgustingly coalescent scream I heard through my open window.
