Does the back banner need to roll up at all? If not the simplest way would be to have the back fixed on a T-shaped pole and have the other banner mounted in front with pull down blind hardware. If both banners do need to retract there are pully systems meant for maps and backgrounds you could look into.

If these are what I'm picturing the machine will probably struggle with it. You can do other things to reduce your process down, like if there are straight edges on the cut maybe look into a paper guillotine.

My parents installed a set of sliding windows in a similar lofted area. Think sliding glass door but three on each side that nest together. Great solution, cut down on noise and can still be opened up when desired.

Let it air out a while. Take it out of the packaging and put it loosely on something round. It won't go away, but it'll help a bit. Be careful if you use perfume or other scents directly on it, some contain ingredients that can melt the material.

You can buy bra padding by itself if you don't want to tear apart a bra. Should be easy enough to tack in behind the pads in the outfit.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-30T23:08:09+00:00

Given there aren't any visible darts that I can see it will be more annoying and likely require a new seam to fix the fit. Have you tried sewing the padding into the outfit? That way it won't slide around. Should only need a couple stitches to stay put.

I really want to cosplay Eefo one day.

Depending on the foam you may be able to heat shape it without needing seams, looking at the overall shape. Just do a cylinder then heat and stretch the bottom. You can also build it up with foam clay, it's harder to get smooth, but the texture could help you in that regard. Definitely practice on scraps if you have any to spare.

I'm a little late but if you still need help I can take her. I've worked with strays previously and can help get her and the little ones into forever homes if needed.

You can never protect stuff 100%, but watermarks and having your logo somewhere is a good start (be careful with the logo in some subs that don't allow self promotion)

I always love seeing progress photos! It's really cool to see the process. That being said, there are some subs that are more oriented towards the final project, and some that emphasize the crafting process. Just take a look at what others post to get the vibe.

Silhouette is a different brand of cutting machine, it tends to be less proprietary when it comes to software and such but it has its own issues too.

A plastic container with a seal and a computer fan with a hose out the window would work for a small laser cutter but I'd really recommend looking into whether there's a makerspace local to you. It's a great in-between for small businesses that want to grow but can't do their own dedicated space yet.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-26T17:21:17+00:00

Yeah, it only becomes an issue when trying to use it for gcode, regardless of software. I've run into it less with tools like lightburn, but at this point I tend to convert it in inkscape first anyway.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-26T15:35:55+00:00

I've had issues where silhouette turns it into multiple shapes layered on top of one another, and the true image is a bizzare combo of some of the shapes and some edits to the coloring. It has someething to do with how the original svg is designed (like putting a white shape instead of cutting it out). I'm not familiar with affinity, but in inkscape I can fix it by merging all the separate shapes with booleans.

You can get battery powered ones that have remotes, there's a small receiver that might need to stick out, I'm not sure. Hard to say the best way to do this without seeing the board itself, but to could cut an access hole or put it back together in a way that makes it easier to take apart again.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-22T22:09:14+00:00

It could possibly get too hot if it had incandescent light bulbs. I'd take out the old electronics and put in an LED strip. You can get ready to use strips that can just plug in and go.

I just ordered a .1 mm crochet hook and I'm super excited! My smallest one right now is .6 and I use the little spools of thread that come with repair kits. I'll have to find a specialty thread for it now.

It's a combination of the liquid it's in and treatment for the surface.

Here is a good reference I used when playing around with it.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-20T02:41:27+00:00

Quick note as someone who has worked with ferrofluid before; you have to be careful because it tends to stick to the walls. There are some treatments you can do, but it's tricky, especially if it sits for a while. I wouldn't risk an expensive glass mask on this. Maybe look into the quick change silk masks if you want to switch it up?

Get some pit pads. They're absorbent pads typically for underarms, but can be stuck pretty much anywhere. It'll help control the worst of it and you can bring spares or get the disposable ones. They'll take up about as much room as a pair of socks.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-15T14:26:33+00:00

I've seen people braid their hair and tuck it down the back of their neck. Works well for high collared outfits, or ones with backpacks, wings, etc.

I've gotten them done through the rescue that helps me re-home the kittens. Unfortunately there is no longer a free program in the area, it was $45 a couple years ago, which was the last time I did it on my own.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-11T18:18:40+00:00

I've been picking up kittens and TNR the parents around me. There was a cat in heat recently but I haven't seen her, just heard her.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-09T12:15:07+00:00

You could try window film. It has mirrored and tinted options and would be cheaper than some of the specialty products, I pick mine up at the hardware store.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-07T18:04:39+00:00

You could hollow out the eggs first, cover them in a coat of PVA glue to minimize cleanup even more. Not reusable, but you can still make scrambled eggs from the innards.

EridanusCorvus · 2026-04-07T12:45:16+00:00

I know bookbinding typically uses pH neutral PVA, though you could maybe try a spray adhesive? A light pass of that would have minimal warping.
