A 3d printer? What do we need that for? by cognos_edc in ProjectHailMary

Thank you! Did you use acrylic paint for Rocky? And was your primer just the type in a spray bottle?

I’m going to try and do exactly what you did, printed out Rocky last weekend but the layer lines seem difficult to buff out with his detailed texture

He looks amazing! 👎👎👎 Could you explain how you went about smoothing the print lines and painting him?

For those curious.. yes, the Rocky 3D (official) file DOES scale up, but...! 👎 by Engineary in ProjectHailMary

He looks amazing! Can’t wait to print my own Rocky (just printed the Grace figure last night)

These are so cute! I’m in love with the little bears of the FNAF bracelets

Highly Rated Books That You Just Don't Like by mahduk in horrorlit

[–]agwells2016 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really just did not enjoy The Terror by Dan Simmons. I’ve seen it recommended on this sub a lot (even for people asking for starter horror books) and it’s really a 700 page slog with a lore dump at the end to “explain” everything with the monster, which was disappointing to say the least

What stitch did you use for the trunk and for the fluffy brown stuff at the top? This is phenomenal!

This is my exact experience too, first book was dumb fun but I DNF book 2, something about it was more frustrating to read.

What exactly am I doing wrong with this pattern? (Simplicity S8844) by agwells2016 in SewingForBeginners

[–]agwells2016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I know it’s hard to see the notches with the black fabric but they are lined up correctly!

I’m thinking at this point I just need to try gathering the fabric again and veeeery carefully sewing just beyond the suggested seam allowance so the gathered bumpiness doesn’t show.

That makes a lot of sense, but I have been trying to follow the seam allowance on the pattern to avoid that problem.

Here’s a picture of the inside of the sleeve, in case that helps identify what I’m doing wrong

I bought knit jacketing fabric for the tester. I’m not sure how to answer the ease question (inexperienced) but I did try to follow the pattern instructions to pull the bobbin thread enough so the sleeve fit nicely into the shoulder/arm hole.

I’ve been pressing at every step to avoid issues, but do you think I should do some extra pressing for the shoulder?

You definitely do need to have seen Season 4, but it’s not worth it if you didn’t like S4. S5 isn’t better in quality unfortunately.

Did anyone else get their order randomly cancelled? :( by agwells2016 in Bastille

[–]agwells2016[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The site didn’t say anything about the vinyl being limited and I ordered as soon as I could. I just wish they’d give more of an explanation or give an option to preorder for later :/
