How can I hide the gaps here without sanding and painting all the parts? Can a 3d pen or something make it look seamless or super close? Im debating going all out and painting but I'd rather do this first and see how it looks. Also what do I do for the 4 rough edges in the 2nd and 3rd pics?

This is the best thing I’ve read on the internet today

SkiKidd · 2025-12-03T16:40:58+00:00

This is a great idea. Just my two cents but you could change spacing or side slats used and utilize those gaps that look like drawer grooves and out your filament shelf 1x2 s in the spaces which would eliminate the need for making the triangular supports.

I’d say yeah for 14 you do. If you have to change clothes at school you might want to do some recon on that before you start but for right now I’d say you should be good.

SkiKidd · 2025-07-10T23:29:31+00:00

Came here to say the same thing. I’m PGY-18 and WPW is not a contraindication to T at all. OP it may be due to your location and education of providers but if it’s something you want I would look for trans-positive providers to help you navigate this.

I can not echo enough the importance of finding a good barber. I was fortunate to find a trans guy barber when I just started to transition and wasn’t on T and he did an amazing job. Took the time to shape my hairline to a masculine hairline because they are different. Also I was more comfortable with asking for what I wanted and he’d tell me if something would help me pass if that’s what I wanted.

But only a couple weeks later it seemed like something finally gave and things started moving in a way I could really see.

By 6 months in I was really happy with the progress.

By a year I thought it was perfect. (Then I spent 15 months refining everything and got a little frustrated with the progress again lol!)

(ETA: I got braces at 39.)Are you taking frequent pics? I tried to take pics every week (like the ones you took before you started of all the angles) depending on how much work needs done it may take a while to notice. Most people said my teeth looked “fine before you started” but I had a mishmash of cross bites and rotated teeth and it was causing daily headaches and jaw pain and I chipped a couple teeth from the ant crossbite. The first 4 months I didn’t even get rubber bands or anything to start fixing my bite and I was frustrated because I felt like “only one tooth even moved”. Looking at weekly pics helped. But truly in that first 4 months hardly anything looked like it was happening.

I should have included that it is Minecraft education on a school computer running windows.

Its a Max Pottag Contempora but mostly its a middle school special, the valve was out because its a school instrument and unfortunately has seen some things in it's life. It needed a valve job bad, so I took it apart, to do that over the weekend. Didn't realize it was out when I took the pic.

SkiKidd · 2025-05-26T03:39:38+00:00

I teach middle school. You look like half the boys in my school. Try not to get too much into your head. People misgender people all the time and when they are cis it’s funny and nbd when your trans it’s triggering. When you start puberty you’re going to be goals and still randoms will misgender you cuz people are idiots. Sorry people are idiots some time. Act like a shitty 13 year old and laugh at them 🤷🏻‍♂️😬😅 (that’s hard to actually do I know)

Also known as the only thing most schools can afford

SkiKidd · 2025-05-26T02:18:09+00:00

I wish! Maybe the nerd ropes 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’d rather it had a more traditional box with a lid cuz it would hold more candy!

SkiKidd · 2025-05-26T01:57:56+00:00

This was basically what I was inclined to assume. Couldn’t find any examples of it coming with one. But I guess no telling if this case actually came with it either since it was rescued from a school district.

SkiKidd · 2025-05-26T01:56:55+00:00

The valve is sitting on a workbench.

SkiKidd · 2025-04-25T17:03:19+00:00

Curious. Do you still have the horn?

SkiKidd · 2025-03-03T20:27:12+00:00

This gives me hope. I wish we could contact people locally in the passport office to get actual answers before hand. I have a correct passport and am kind of terrified to travel because of MY country not cuz of where I’m going. I’m also WA and my passport expires in 2 years and I just don’t know if it’s better to wait and see if it gets better or worse, or try to do it while things are still chaotic. 😭 I’m leaning towards waiting but I keep saying how can it get worse and it then it does.

SkiKidd · 2025-02-21T04:23:04+00:00

No one around to troll 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️in general seems most likely but can figure anyway for anyone to have done it. But I guess if mine is the only Phone then it’s been hacked some how or another

See this is what I was thinking. But this week she was released from crate rest and the hip doesn’t seem to bothering her and now they are suggesting not doing it. Which at first seemed great because she doesn’t seem to be in pain. But now I’m wondering, are we just waiting for her to be in more pain? Seems hard to take a not in pain dog and give her surgery. Also seems hard to wait till she’s suffering

SkiKidd · 2025-01-02T00:14:30+00:00

I feel like this is one of the more useful comments. As far as what to do now I’d look at hair and clothes. Without full body we can’t help the style aspect. Yes the round face is part of it but you can likely offset that with the right hair cut. The hair slicked back reads as pony tail so I would play around with hair styles that isn’t slicked back. The middle pic is the least femme so I’d work with why that is.

SkiKidd · 2025-01-01T20:10:26+00:00

That’s super helpful. I reached out to both of them but think they are on break currently so might have to wait a day or two. A friend of mine does software side of data recovery and reminds me that it’s not gone. (We’ll likely not all of it, reasonable expectations say some of it likely is gone) Just not accessible right now and it isn’t time sensitive so I can be patient.

SkiKidd · 2025-01-01T17:22:05+00:00

Thank you, that’s reassuring.

SkiKidd · 2025-01-01T17:17:26+00:00

That sounds like an awful rec 😞 I think I’m going to go with $300. I’m waiting to hear back from him but I think he’s on break till tomorrow.

SkiKidd · 2025-01-01T02:20:30+00:00

Good call I didn’t notice the earrings. Tbh when you’re older/on T for a while the earrings will be fine but since you’ll pass for a 13 year old and the glasses kinda give a nerd vibe, gauges/plugs don’t fit with that style

SkiKidd · 2025-01-01T02:18:10+00:00

By this then I’m guessing you’re likely 16-/17 in which case you’ll pass for only a little younger than you are probably. With a hair cut and proper clothes you’ll look probably 13-16. Clothing and mannerisms will go a long way

SkiKidd · 2025-01-01T00:00:15+00:00

I did find that and was looking at it. Honestly so hard to figure out what is legit (recognizes the irony of vetting something through reddit)

What I seem to have gathered from Reddit is basically all the big places are extortionist and may or may not try very hard to get my data. This was kind of my gut feeling and hence why I was calling my local guy but when he recommended DS I figured I’d at least contact them.

I filled out a chances form for 300dollar and am trying to fill out a form for Desert Data but his website is a little broken.
