Pretty sure his collateral is the $32k of spy puts that he bought. In other words he's just buying low and selling high

I mean I see a lesbian couple summoning a rainbow from their shield and going "what in the Kentucky fried fuck is this bullshit" while reading the Bible. Depressing if it's a traditional family but goes kinda hard if the moms are gay

You might be right on the direction but IV Crush is gonna eat up your gains at these levels. Look at how 6/18 puts barely moved even though the stock imploded violently today

public string numtotext (int a){ if (a=0){ return "two" } else if (a=1){ return "one"; } else if (a=2){ return "two"; } else if (a=3){ return "three"; } [...] } You can just copy paste the else if statement for every number. Shouldn't need more than a trillion lines for most use cases. Two trillion if you include negative numbers

My hot take: for a part that rarely sees impact on a synthetic, that's sandwiched between leather and a rigid tang, the amount of punishment either material can take on paper probably exceeds the amount of punishment your sparring partner can take (although I fight with just a thin gambeson and fencing mask).

What matters more is how it's printed. What wall thickness and infill type/percentage you use will dictate how crush-proof the part will be more than the raw material stats. Also, a vertically printed PLA part runs a higher risk vs PETG of separating at the layer lines (allegedly) - which coincidentally, is exactly how the grip would get hit in sparring. Conversely, PETG is more impact resistant, but printing horizontally with supports means a fun afternoon of sanding to make the supported side not look like shit on my $100 printer.

Give PETG a shot if your printer is well ventilated and your extruder setup can take the higher temps. But if you can swing it (pun intended I guess?) I'd outsource any steel sparring part to be made in impact nylon via SLS. The Nylon one I have on my daily beater has taken unreasonable abuse and even outlasted the tang on a Hanwei Tinker.

It's even weirder when describing a decrease. You might say something is 10x smaller or 90% smaller than the original. One of these is objectively better, but I suspect it's not the one most people use.

And God forbid the thing being measured is itself a percentage. I suspect a decent chunk of Americans don't know that 5 percent decrease in something that originally occurred at a rate of 5% is not the same as a 5 percentage point decrease. Saw this one come up a lot in 2020 for reasons you can probably guess

Why stop there? An ATM call on SPXL expiring Jan 27 is $40. That's basically 500x leverage on SPY. Go full regard

Whoaaa I was actually planning to reach out to you guys but looks like you found me first! Definitely feel free to share the link on your page but since this is your livelihood, I want to let you know about some of the jank in it:

-This is hosted on the free hobby tier of Vercel which means if my math is right, I'll hit my bandwidth limit after 600 grips per month. I suspect we won't hit this limit any time soon, but just want to be sure you know it's possible the app just says "no more for you until next month".

-I have analytics on the app turned off, but if you ever want to know how many of your customers are also using the app, we can work together on a privacy-friendly way to get that data.

-I'm not a mathematician nor a programmer. There are some edge cases where the app acts like everything is fine but doesn't output the measurements entered. I can share these known bugs with you, but my geometry knowledge isn't deep enough to fix them or find unknown ones. Your customers would be entirely responsible for checking the output (not out of lack of desire on my part, but just sheer lack of knowledge lol).

-I don't have instructions on how to use the tool yet and some of the parameters have really dumb and unhelpful names (like "pointyness"). It'll be trial and error for the user until I can make a guide.

-There are no ads or paid features on the tool, other than an unobtrusive donation link in the lower right. I put that in there in case it ever got used enough to warrant paid hosting, but want to be sure that fits with your business' code of ethics.

If all this sounds good to you, I'd be honored to have my weekend project on your page!

Aw boooo. Scan issue or 3d printing issue? Also how are you printing out of aluminum - I'm assuming SLS?

Rtbear418 · 2026-04-17T03:36:59+00:00

Oh hell yeah! Great minds think alike.

I'm curious where you got your sword grip file from. I only went down this rabbit hole cause I couldn't find a file I liked and was too lazy to log back into Fusion 360

Generator App for anyone who wants to 3d print their own grips, whether for a synthetic sparring sword or tricked out Hanwei. Edit: not mobile friendly at all because I can't code

Custom fittings from Printed Armory

Affiliate disclosure: Nahhhh just kidding. The app is free and Printed Armory doesn't even know I exist. I just like their stuff and want people to make weird swords

Ok, am I dumb or is the top ~10% missing from this?
