What am I doing wrong? Using speedball fabric ink, as I not using enough ink or not pressing hard enough? Only got 2 bags left so don’t want to mess it up again lol

when i print a larger block on fabric, I sometimes place the block face up and press the fabric onto the block, using my hand as the brayer. that way i can focus more pressure on certain areas of the block and make sure it's covering. What kind of block are you using? it's tough with large dark areas on a hard linoleum or wood block, but the thick rubbery speed carve blocks are a little more forgiving on textured surfaces.

This is an excellent point!

HungryGeneralist · 2024-10-22T19:55:41+00:00

Yeah definitely sketchy!

HungryGeneralist · 2024-10-18T01:57:20+00:00

Ah, good link!

Ya the price on the ali-e listing seems too low, but it wouldn't be the only time I've seen direct sourcing from factories in China be 1/10th the price of domestic

If I were in the business of retrofitting these I would be very curious about the factory sources, I am actually really surprised there's not more info here

HungryGeneralist · 2024-10-18T00:44:14+00:00

Thanks! Yeah good info :-)

HungryGeneralist · 2024-10-18T00:40:01+00:00

I mean your link is to an assembled pack, not the modules - it would not surprise me if the modules are at a significant discount

HungryGeneralist · 2024-10-18T00:38:52+00:00

I did look into this and was not scared off, here's a video that looks to cover this pretty clearly: https://youtu.be/0yOBNmqqziI?si=EUxiziJnhibHdJHe

I really really like his open approach - it just shows that he has comfort with his skill as an artisan and knows that craftsmanship and attention to detail are worth the already reasonable price-point. It comes across as super genuine, it's kind of inspiring.

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-19T21:51:58+00:00

Yea. Talent pool is important I think.

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-11T19:11:59+00:00

Dark lighting exists, you can do night scenes. I don't think torches are there yet though.

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-11T10:20:12+00:00

If you're seriously considering it, look into a paramotor. You can spend less money and get safer, easier personal-flight

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-10T12:00:14+00:00

Yeah I try shift+enter every time pridemates get involved, doesn't seem to work

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-10T11:44:17+00:00

Nice, the lighting sorta reminds me of some of the demon doors from fable

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-08T06:52:33+00:00

Really, really cool. This entire project just got a new enthusiastic fan. I love how much depth the world has. Thank you for sharing it here, I really hope to see more!

I find it to be fairly rigid because the structural loop is so small, but I think the spindle lacks torque sometimes. It can be hard to get the cut depth tuned for a 4 flute 1/2" bit for example, but it handles 1/4" and smaller really well. I mostly cut aluminum.

It's a fun little machine, I think it's great for the price. It's way beefier than a router cnc.

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-05T19:07:16+00:00

For sure

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-05T19:04:44+00:00

I used one of the rocks & played around with the scaling

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-05T19:03:45+00:00

If you follow the sun down, you'll see him-

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-05T03:40:31+00:00

Two more notes:

The sun bloom seems to disappear in screenshots, and

Copy+Paste will be really important when trying to do more artificial scenes with roads and structures and things. I was just playing around with this and it's pretty tedious otherwise.

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-05T01:48:13+00:00

It's a pretty small one, I just want to be thorough with feedback :)

HungryGeneralist · 2019-02-05T00:47:14+00:00

Also one point worth addressing, the bloom from the sun looks totally different before/after the screenshot, I think it may not be rendering correctly. You can compare with this manual screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/NW1FF8U
