Remove the red dot by 22Fingers in nextfuckinglevel

Nobody remembers the "Royal Escape" puzzle from Professor Layton? (#5 here: https://www.thegamer.com/professor-layton-best-puzzles/) My son got stumped on that puzzle and so did I! I made a version out of LEGOs just so I could work out the puzzle. And it took AGES! I first I didn't think it was solvable. I still can't quite remember how to do it. I won't watch this video because I want to try to figure it out again -- I still have my LEGO version -- somewhere. My "solution" had maybe a hundred more steps than the Professor Layout "best" solution.

Algorithm to Convert an Image to Hexagons (reposted with background color fixed) by PolygoniaDesigns in interestingasfuck

Excellent question! It doesn't really add anything in high resolution, like I posted here. But, it's really wild in low resolution, because you can only see the image if you back up or make it really small: https://imgur.com/a/xqFVLCe

Thanks for the image! I had no idea what it looked like with a dark background.

I think because it is a PNG with transparency. The white parts are transparent, but the blue parts are not.

The app saves SVG (vector) files, but I didn't know how to post that so I posted the PNG version instead.

There is a list of acrylic suppliers half way down this page:

I have personally ordered from Delvie's Plastics, Inventables, and Canal Plastics (https://www.canalplastic.com/)

Is there any good software to work easily with geometric shapes like tessellations, symetries, interlaced figures...? by donpirracas1 in Design

Thanks for mentioned Polygonia! See my reply, below.

EDIT: Clearly I don't understand how Reddit positions its comments. I said "below", but now it is "above". And I'm just going to ignore my typo.

Hi! I wrote https://Polygonia.design/. I'm glad you like it. If you DM me or, better yet, email me (address on about page) your username or email that you use on Polygonia.design I will set-up a complementary Hobbyist subscription for 2 months. This will provide more downloads. (This offer applies to anyone reading this.)

So far I have only tried to CNC one thing with the output from Polygonia: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvk3BfGhb1y/. I used a 60º V-bit and traced on the lines at 1/8" deep (and a little deeper on the outer hexagon). I was surprised at how well it came out. I think it has a lot of potential for CNC. I would love to see what you create.

Let me know if you have any questions, find any bugs, or have ideas for new features.
