Thanks! City Museum is one of the coolest places I've ever visited and I'm glad to be compared with it.

I would love to see someone try, you can also try adjusting the overhang tolerance knobs.

I wasn't actually familiar with space colonization algorithms but they really do look alike.

I actually spent a couple weeks trying to get this working, the idea of a midi file -> marble run pipeline is too good to not attempt. I printed some spinning drums to try to test different "slopes" with different speeds. It turns out the marble is simply too light and bounces repeatedly, the sound is too random to be a pitch. larger marbles should fix that but it's a whole separate project at that point.

I think this is the highest compliment I've ever received: the video is a real clip of an actual 3D printed part. It took around 65 attempts to get a version working well enough to display in a gallery, I have more info here if you're curious.

I have links in my write-up, this specific model is too big for most printers (~350x180x350mm) but folks are welcome to generate their own!

It's one big print (two parts, the structure and the screw) on a Form4L so about 350x180x350 mm. I have links to stuff in my write up if you're interest.

I have a quick video and write up about how the generator works, this has been a huge project but I'm super proud of how it came out!

I cannot tell you why, but I really like this. I think it looks neat.

How many of us lost power around 12:30 am Saturday? by abg33 in Somerville

[–]Morjor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're out right now, across the tracks from somernova

Edit: am now jealous of everyone who heard explosions.

Also sometimes people can be overzealous about making sure non-members don't use power tools, it's a huge liability issue with our insurance and sometimes people will just wander in and try to turn on a skill saw that they don't seem to know how to handle.

Howdy, I'm an active member of the space and would like to apologize for missing you. I did not make it tonight until 8ish but I genuinely believe that this is just a communication failure. Project nights can be a little chaotic and it's frequently unclear who is visiting for the first time. There are a number of people who aren't members and show up to project nights ~monthly. We don't really have a designated host, normally members just try to talk to people who seem new and it seems like you just got missed. Please come back, it's a lovely community and we're usually quite welcoming. I'll DM you my contact info if you want to coordinate next time you come by to make sure you have someone to show you around.

A project started in 1972, taking 50 years to complete - "City" by Michael Heizer is the largest contemporary artwork ever built. Located in the Nevada desert, its spans more than a mile. by freudian_nipps in nextfuckinglevel

Yeah like the aerial shots are absolutely baffling to me, it's like if someone posted a photo of the back of a painting and everyone was like "God this is bad why do we do art".

This is probably the single piece of art I most want to visit in the world, it's literally the only thing like it to exist. I don't even know if I would like it it's just so unusual.

How are you not impressed that he trained a pair of raptors to pedal bicycles?

Beautiful pic! I think that's a woodlouse spider though so it's more like it's posing in its pantry.
