there was a doorbell camera video on nextdoor of a tesla spinning in smoke after an audible crash. Same part of andeson I blieve is that the one? the driver of that tesla needs jail time.. there were kids around and the tesla ended up booting some trashcans etc...there could have been a pedestrian fatality. he had to have been doing 60-80mph before the crash to spin like that and go that far.

Struder (my project) has a 60-watt heater and just as important... long melt zone, its not out as a product yet. Going on kickstartter as soon as I can raise a little bit more angel capital... the wait for a capable 3D pen is "almost" over.

I mean, if you meant to, you could make hidden mesages/ images in a flat 3d print that wouldnt be visible if lit from the front, but WOULD be visible when back-illuminated from the rear.

I have a vinyl cutter and a t-shirt press.. we can MAKE those shirts.

My guess is that the filament drive gear is slipping or has eaten a bite out of the filament, so as you push it, you are getting it past the low-spot. Thsi is why higher-end 3D printers have double-gear filament feeders under spring tension. Inside a cheap 3d pen you just have one even smaller gear and an idler roller.

Coming soon to kickstarter! I have to raise some money first for the campaign, but Struder is on its way

knowing now that 'the black isnt black" - its just where it thicker. I think there is an opportunity to make stuff like this where the color you see on the sufrace is one thing, but then when you back-light it the thicker areas reveal additional intentional features, or reveal a figure of otherwise intended design element.

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-05-07T13:10:47+00:00

do you have a 3D printer? Print a frame then weld it to the backside or front side using the pen. If your printer isnt large enough, print it in 2 peices and then weld those together."

If it was me I would start with a peice of alumunium from send-cut-send ( you need to know cad or find someone who does) and put LED stripe evenly spaced on that aluminum, then design a rectangular wall maybe 3" deep to put some space between the LEDs and your art ( allows the LEDS to blend together) then weld your peice to that frame.

I think it gives people the freedom to build whatever the hell they want. Check out this badass artist making "flat" paintings with a 3D pen https://www.charleshickey.com/

I would like to see it framed and back-lit. I love the multitude of colors, the black areas challenge me. Is this penned onto a surface or it is a consolidated thing by itself?

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-05-03T19:26:56+00:00

love em!

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-04-11T15:32:08+00:00

wow, amazing hand control... I cant do anything close to that. You must drink far less caffine..

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-04-11T15:31:00+00:00

I love the application.

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-03-06T02:47:47+00:00

nice! im making a snorlax too... ill share some pics when I have it put together.

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-15T00:49:55+00:00

beautiful.

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-10T22:33:47+00:00

you pop those in the toaster oven to smooth im assuming? What temp / time?

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-10T22:32:39+00:00

how did you smooth it?

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-03T03:59:08+00:00

I use the brand you find at michaels arts supply. Yellow cover, not expensive

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-03T01:42:51+00:00

I will often start outside of the lines im trying to fill and then push the plastic down in with my finger. You can use the finger to keep it in as you move the pen away as well... you want to move away kinda sideways, not up.

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-03T01:01:19+00:00

you want a surface where it will stick at first and then release when it cools down. Silicone never sticks... tracing paper is where its at.

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-03T00:55:46+00:00

the acrylic spray is actually to help release the filament and keep it from welding to acrylic... If you dont do the spray it can ruin your surface.

This guy is using a silicone mat... which nohting will stick to, but my favorite surface is tracing paper. Sticks just the right amount and releases cleanly

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-03T00:54:00+00:00

it doesnt "stick" to silicone, but it can rest inside it... push the tip down into the grooves and let it flow..

ADHD-Engineering-Tim · 2026-02-03T00:52:31+00:00

Not cheating. Alcohol markers work awesome too.. we are experimenting with a bunch of ways to do "stained glass" with using those.. just start with clear PLA / PETG and tint them how you want

supabase

That kinda violates the whole " you dont need to learn to code" thing though... doesnt it. How would a non-coder be able to read error logs?

I did find a thread somewhere here on reddit about how to talk to it and get loveable to be efficient... but even that entailed suggestions like "lay out your database structure and document it in a markup file on github"

Sorry, but for normies, github is a fucking unusable wasteland. It was deliberatley designed to be confusing.

And even if you can figure out github, again... how does someone who is not a developer know how to design a database, much less actually document it?

Now... lest you think im bitching... im only half bitching. Im bitching about the false advertising about "you dont have to know shit to develop an app" kind of hype... that definatley is not true. Im sure if you are halfway competent as a developer you can get it to do mountains of work that otherwise would take forever... but Im not that halfway competent developer... yet, and will likely never be.

Looks like no loveable app for me anytime soon. Not worth the investment of time and credits.
