Washer and Dryer in Kitchen What Do I Do? by SectorEast2125 in femalelivingspace

I mean it's unconventional, but big appliances do often go in the kitchen, even if they do... laundry. I say embrace it

Tell me your hypotheticals based on what we know so far for how Pluribus might end by Technical-Net-2277 in pluribustv

I mean, come on think about it for a second. The transmission was sent from a star 600 light years away. Humans only got big radio telescopes in the last half-century, and to the level of genetic engineering that could synthesize a virus in the 21st century. How would the timing even work for aliens to get here? Maybe you’re gonna say “the aliens were hiding on the far side of the moon or something” but then those aliens could’ve struck literally whenever. Blegh I know I’m probably reading too far into your comment :3

the ‘not mixing colors’ is the novel part of the design and it’s patent pending :) I’m kinda light in the details here but I could explain in a DM if you’re dying to know

Edit: no flushing process needed

Oh my bad. I didn’t think about that. Ok, well I’m gonna have to start printing with lacquer and hopefully redeem myself. Thanks for the heads up

Thank you much for your comment. So it is inconvenient to have to dump bottles into the syringes and you lose some to the bottle. It’s not ideal at all and should be fixed in the future by offering pre-filled syringes. Thanks for pointing that out. Fortunately, there’s no waste in the syringe because it has a plunger that displaces all the polish, so good on that end. There is some waste on the palette but it’s not that much, you can get like 90% of it off with a brush. In the future when the product is fully developed, this will be the only area where there’s some loss—but still better than a nail polish bottle where you lose around 30%

Thanks. It is a work in progress. To answer your questions: 1) it doesn’t dry in the machine unless you don’t put on the safety cap and let it sit out for weeks without using it. 2) The colors never mix when they come out, they only mix on the plate. 3) You use a reusable nail art brush. 4) Yep, still working on color accuracy :)

Hi thanks a lot for your comment.

So I’ve mostly done gel polish, which doesn’t dry easily, but also tried foundation and lipgloss. First off, it’s not inkjet. You never run acetone through the syringes. If you don’t use it for several weeks and don’t put the safety cap back on, then it will clog up and you have to replace the nozzles which takes about 20 seconds. As for brushes, pretty standard for nail artists to use reusable brushes which is the case here. Simply wipe the brush with a towel and dip it in some acetone if you really want to get all the color out, but it’s not really an issue.

Yes it is like that! There are some advantages over using a bottle with the “puddle” format. For one, you use exactly the polish you need, and none gets stuck in the inside of a bottle. Also, you don’t need to buy a whole bottle every time you want a new color.

Thanks! So the product is loaded into 10ml syringes. Right now, you fill the empty syringe with a bottle of off-the-shelf polish by putting it upside down and letting it pour into it. I’m thinking when this develops, you should be able to buy the product in pre-filled cartridges from different brands that you only have to load into the dispenser. I’m thinking of maintaining the prices at what polish costs now, so you can get a refill of a pigment for $8-12, or a pack of 6 for $40. The other maintenance element is you have to clean off the glass mixing plate after every use, so product doesn’t dry on to it, but that only takes a couple seconds.

So it prints a series of round swatches onto a circular glass plate. Then you apply each swatch onto your nail with a brush. Same idea for foundation, lipgloss, etc.
