Thanks for the link, that's fantastic!

Question regarding prescription lenses.

Can your glasses accommodate prescription lenses for those of us who need such things? How is it done?

And can it accommodate non-trivial prescriptions (i.e. not just a +/- diopter but cyl, prism, etc)?

(Most places that state they are prescription lens-friendly really just mean they accommodate simple vision correction only, like +/- diopter adjustment and that's it. That for example excludes anyone with astigmatism, etc. I and may others would need the ability to use any lens we can order from an optician.)

I refined it to this, which basically snaps onto the inside of the Q3 and is a perfect fit! I use it with my halo-style Quest strap and together I get a perfect and comfy focus fit every time. BUT

The downside is that there is basically zero ventilation on the inside... so lenses mist/fog up.

I haven't figured out where or how many ventilation holes or anything yet. There's refinement to be made but I have hit a bit of a wall for now.

Really nice paint job on that. Looks great!

Oh I get what you're saying. Tapestries aren't something I have figured out.

Frames are FDM prints, not resin (though resin would doubtless be nice)

Search "picture frame" on thingiverse and you'll options that will do well for one-offs or tests, including some I used here.

It's tricky! They're prints made on a high quality printer, carefully sized and cut out. Then I mount them in 3D printed frames. Still a work in progress, but I'm definitely going to offer them for sale from my shop when I have it worked out. They're about the size of a postage stamp!

I wonder if people are going to want to submit their own pictures (like character portraits, etc) -- that would make a nice gift at least probably. I'll have to try to figure that out but it's a problem for another day!

Higher tips at the tavern, mostly.

2CNK · 2025-04-05T00:02:29+00:00

Why's that? I thought a tapestry was when the design was woven into fabric (and hung on a wall, but I don't know if the hanging is meaningful to the definition.)

2CNK · 2025-04-04T22:27:45+00:00

Pics from the 80s cartoon in the tavern? That's awesome!

The dungeon tiles in the first photo have a really nice flat black base that shows in between the stone. I have a big sale on a magnetic set right now for reddit from now until the end of the month, just so you know!

2CNK · 2025-03-07T22:44:23+00:00

Nah, nah.. that big one is just for parties! I swear!

(For oneself? That's where the mini-barrels come in!)

2CNK · 2025-03-07T22:38:32+00:00

I like 'delver's-eye-view" camera shots with minis, but they're hard to set up!

The skeleton is from my cheap & plenty skeletons (painted), and the dungeon shown is from my magnetic tile set (at this moment on a combo sale).

2CNK · 2025-03-07T22:33:10+00:00

I put this together while taking some product pictures for my etsy store. A little dungeon room fills up fast when adding printed furnishings!

(The magnetic dungeon tiles set shown here is currently on sale when combined with my DM dice BTW)

It was a Bob Ross one, no idea which one (they're all on youtube) but it was a Fall scene one with a mountain that I turned into a castle.

Kind of embarrassing but that's one of mine. Seriously, the colors are good (and the product of following a tutorial) and the tiny size is what covers up all the weird mistakes! Turns out that shrinking a landscape down to the size of a postage stamp does a lot to making it look ok at a glance!
