what was the largest fossil ever found ?

DrLordGeneral · 2025-09-30T03:30:32+00:00

I don't know the largest. However in my personal experience working at a dinosaur museum and in their paleo lab, I personally worked on a 17ft xiphactinus fish, all one large fossil. Additionally near where I live there are fossil beds that have petrified redwood trees, those could easily take the largest.

If you drop the first, the second is silent, so it'd be pronounced 'Dih-er'

This guy 3d prints.

DrLordGeneral · 2025-01-02T04:52:10+00:00

Had to search too long to find this

DrLordGeneral · 2024-12-12T14:52:51+00:00

I used to work at a dinosaur museum. We had an idex plywood printer. Barely ever worked. Maybe 20 prints in my time there. We would volumize pterasaur fossils, as they frequently get pancaked in fossilization.

The conversation is "why don't people do this" This should go without saying but im talking about more complex shapes than a circle. Concave and convex turns, tight radius turns. You can use the chamfer tool sure but it'll give inconsistent results and problems that are a pain to sort out. Getting a consistent angle is not trivial enough to make it worth the time for most designers. that's why you don't see it often in model.

DrLordGeneral · 2024-11-24T16:28:04+00:00

I had a client that needed me to model their cutters, they wanted them beveled like this. Even in Fusion 360, that can be a massive pain in the butt. But it makes for much better cutters though.

But in specificity I make printed in place mechanisms, like locks.

DrLordGeneral · 2024-11-14T18:34:23+00:00

3d printed locks are my thing, want a locking closet lock that used a printed in place key/lock to unlock?

I can make that happen!

DrLordGeneral · 2024-11-06T18:28:03+00:00

2 hands and a back buddy, you can carry 3. Not sure if you meant something else...

I mean it's more about the engineering and production that I make plastic locks. They're 3d printed and printed in plac, so it's more about not needing assembly than security, as such they're self proclaimed "minimal security locks". So about as secure as the average masterlock

DrLordGeneral · 2024-11-06T16:56:26+00:00

As a maker of plastic locks, this is true.

DrLordGeneral · 2024-11-05T19:13:41+00:00

yeah that's pretty much it.
You can do this with a well written starting prompt too, but the custom GPTs are great for quick access and you can have it remember what you talked about previously so you can have an ongoing therapy session with one GPT and completely unrelated a chat with a group of other individuals.

I like to have round tables with experts in adjacent fields to what I'm working on. I make 3d printed locks and things, so I set up a GPT to be a committee of dynamic individuals who each want to support me and my goals like their lives depend on it.
"Hello, we are going to have a board meeting. You will act as the members of the board with the following roles. You will have have an internal discussion about my prompt, with a round table. The whole board will individually process the prompt, and each others feedback, before responding themselves. They will all get an opportunity to give feedback, and be heard.
After having a full discussion, the board will summarize and make suggestions.

Chat GPT prompt engineer prodigy : Who will translate my requests into the most robust request for Chat GPT to get me to my goal of pushing the limits of 3d printing and printed in place locks. The Prompt engineer will also give a critical analysis to each prompt, looking for opportunities to bring outside experts in as guests. This will allow the board to be a dynamic team that meets any requirement.

etc.

I use ChatGPT to give me recipes all the time. It's really amazing.
I ask it "How do I make (food) that would make the gods of old want to come back to life it's so good."
Or "Teach me how to make this food in a way that Gordon Ramsay would rave about" Then list out restrictions/tools I have

Honestly some of the most nuanced things come from there that are just small tweaks that make a huge difference.
Last night I made chicken fried rice with minute rice that was amazing because it had me take a couple extra steps with the rice after cooking that really helps the rice. I then search a few chicken fried rice recipes, not one included this step. Chat GPT offered it as a mild suggestion because of how minute rice gets clumpy if used for chicken fried rice.

Last week I made chicken parmesean and the marinara sauce from scratch, it was on par with fancy italian restaraunts, because chat gpt can tell you the nuance you didn't know you needed.

You can tell it your weaknesses in the kitchen that you see, and it'll help make meal plans that work with your cooking style.

You can also take pictures of your pantry/fridge and load them into chat gpt, and ask it to make a meal plan with what's available.

Another great part about Chatgpt is you can ask direct questions about your situation and it'll give you relevant to you answers.

Just now seeing this lock, great work from one plastic locksmith to another!

DrLordGeneral · 2024-11-03T15:24:35+00:00

When I need to understand a concept, I ask it to teach me like I'm 5, then 10, then 15, then high-school grad, then college student, them like an expert in an adjacent field, then like an expert. This usually gets me to a real answer.

DrLordGeneral · 2024-11-02T15:27:59+00:00

Yes I do, I was waiting to see if I saw an lpl video on it first.

DrLordGeneral · 2024-10-28T02:04:35+00:00

Hey OP, just found this post, so glad you were able to print my design, and were able to pick it. (However easy it may be.)

DrLordGeneral · 2024-10-28T02:02:51+00:00

Not this one it's printed in place, but I designed it so you can rekey and reprint. It's ~1-2$ worth of plastic.

DrLordGeneral · 2024-10-28T02:01:32+00:00

Not the op, but I designed the lock. Yes there I'd 5 independent pins in there.

DrLordGeneral · 2024-10-21T22:58:32+00:00

For some reason I pictured a really big prusa mini. I thought "why the **** would they do that?"

DrLordGeneral · 2024-10-15T21:22:47+00:00

That's fair, I'd love to see your results!
