@Danpiker Have you thought any more about doing a version for all-hexagon or all-circular pencils?
Please?
@Danpiker If you did a version for all-hexagon or all-circular pencils, would that get rid of the little "nicks" in the saddle-like surfaces?

@Danpiker My +5% 3D print failed part way though - but enough to check fit. Pencils are now a firm fit.

PS. What are the dimensions of the Maths Gear pencils?

@Danpiker I printed a chunk of the gyrojig at +10% and it can handle 2 pencils in each of the 7 directions. A bit loose - pencils fall out if I pick it up.
@Danpiker Thanks. I'll try printing a small chunk of the gyroid at +10%.
I love your 3D models with all the pencils that can be rotated to see from all angles.
@Danpiker I 3D printed the gyrojig at normal size (took 28 hours).
But the hexagonal holes are too small for normal pencils. I haven't bought the Maths Gear pencils yet.
How much should I scale it up - 2%, 5%, 10%?

There’s no public commons on the web. It’s a race to the bottom, and the bottom is gross. You want me to log in to read? I think I simply will not read.

The Verge

"Let them eat CAIC!"

The panel tasked with reviewing the emissions reduction fund - many of whom have connections to the industry that they are supposed to be "independently" reviewing - has baselessly ignored mountains of substantive evidence that Australia's offsets scheme is broken. Recommends tinkering with the governance arrangements instead of dealing with real problems.

Slow clap.

Chubb review recommends new integrity body for Australian carbon credits scheme

Review dismissed claims the current system lacks integrity and is not delivering real cuts in emissions

@stooovie @mastodonmigration The pale graph is Hourly Increase in users (right hand scale).
Some hours the increase is smaller than for other hours.
Seriously, the fact that I can wake up this morning, decide that I want to read the original Cosmac Elf article in the August 1976 Popular Electronics and Internet Archive makes that possible in 2 minutes is the future we were promised and need to appreciate.
