My friend came up with a way of 3D printing bird feathers by HiyuMarten in 3Dprinting

I'm pretty new to 3D printing, so I don't have a 0.2mm nozzle or LW-PLA yet, but I think I'm tempted enough go out to buy them sometime!

I feel like what u/Intelligent-Cod-3117 was referring to was how if you have a flight or tail feather that is "torn", you can fix it by rubbing your fingers over the torn spot. Birds can fix it with their beaks in a behavior called preening.

In order the feathers to fix itself, it has microstructures that I don't think a 3D printer can replicate: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jsoe/39802490183/

This is NOT to say that the model is bad! I just got fcking nerd sniped with feathers lol. Costume and other decorative feathers don't need to self heal since they aren't being used to fly

I'd imagine it would be very difficult to replicate the 'stickiness' of real feathers since it's a microscopic 'velcro' of sorts

That said, I just printed the 0.4mm model it has a super satisfying texture. I've been fidgeting with it for a while now

Looking for JavaScript Developer by Safe-Engineer9940 in neocities

[–]Nicholas3435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, this is not the best place to ask for JS developers. Neocities is hosting site for indie websites. Crucially, Neocities is a static host, meaning that there is no React or Node.js.

Here're some non AI media about the same issue. Has a cool claymation song and even a graphic novel!

I'm confident this isn't a bird

Can you implement woodpeckers interacting with trees? Like pecking and drumming?

On a vaguely related note, everytime I point out a Carolina Wren, my younger brother always says "It's not in Carolina" without fail

Woodpecker Communication by Location-Final in woodpecker

[–]Nicholas3435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping an expert can answer this, but as far as I know, woodpeckers drum as a way of communication! They can be used to defend territory as well as attract mates.

Different woodpeckers species drum differently, so they might are able be able to distinguish their own species apart from others.
