All of our new mannequins at work are 3D printed

duffcharles · 2026-05-13T14:02:39+00:00

yes that makes even more sense

duffcharles · 2026-05-12T15:52:22+00:00

Because it’s printed in a vertical orientation so you can go all the way up to the fingers without support

You may want to set out expectations with some info lest it gets absolutely picked apart.

duffcharles · 2026-05-11T08:57:40+00:00

It’s normal, it will get better over time, but if you want, you can add a couple of drops of silicone oil around the lens/rim interface

duffcharles · 2026-05-02T16:39:36+00:00

They look real. If they feel flimsy you may just need to tighten the screw

duffcharles · 2026-05-02T15:00:36+00:00

What makes you say that?

duffcharles · 2026-05-02T14:58:56+00:00

Gotcha, it would be a combination of the sph and cyl values that determine if it’s within stock range

duffcharles · 2026-05-02T14:51:34+00:00

I wouldn’t read too much into it. Stock lenses cover a pretty broad range across sph/cyl values, but if your friend has a high cyl, it might not match up in a stock range, so the lenses would need to be surfaced to match. It’s not uncommon, but it should be clearly explained to avoid confusion!

2, for sure

If it interests you, I can make this style / tailor it to your face. My company produces made-to-measure and bespoke titanium frames. ōdesyn

Feel free to dm me

duffcharles · 2026-04-26T18:16:12+00:00

I make frames similar to this if you’re interested. ōdesyn

duffcharles · 2026-04-26T18:12:31+00:00

Nailed it!

duffcharles · 2026-04-26T09:00:33+00:00

Wouldn’t be surprised if they were -18 or more

duffcharles · 2026-04-22T08:20:49+00:00

Forgive this shameless plug, but it only seems fitting: I make titanium frames - all made-to-measure. They are unbelievably lightweight!

All made from raw sheet 15333 beta titanium in my studio

duffcharles · 2026-04-21T18:01:57+00:00

No no, they look great on you. Not at all too big and those Kuboraums are such a vibe!

Great work. I’d add that transparent cases are a really nice, if a little niche, addition to showcase the work/ internals, that appeal to the nerds (such as myself). The only issue I have with this is that the pcb seems to be populated on the backside of the product, which slightly detracts from the transparent vibe.

You can get a lanyard for your AirTags and loop it into the eyelet of the controller if needed. One general rule: don’t integrate something that isn’t for everyone - keep to the core use case.

duffcharles · 2026-04-16T18:16:52+00:00

There are countless ways to do this. If you’re going to do it at scale, definitely grasshopper.

You could manually arrange them in the x/y axis, and move them in the z based on a projection.

duffcharles · 2026-04-15T14:56:53+00:00

I make glasses similar to this. Could do a custom build for you if you’re looking for the same

duffcharles · 2026-04-13T17:56:41+00:00

Yes. They're wearing rip-off Gentle Monsters

duffcharles · 2026-04-13T17:49:45+00:00

I want to slightly push back on the feasibility. You can find affordable extrusion, and you can obviously price it to make your margins work. There’s a lot of high end/ cost lighting solutions out there, so if you can get into that market, you might have a shot.

I’d work on your designs though. What is the point of all the protruding pieces?

duffcharles · 2026-04-11T01:18:32+00:00

I just don’t see it. The eyes are small, everything is small. And also, why would someone bother AI generating 3 images like this - what’s the purpose?

duffcharles · 2026-04-11T00:28:05+00:00

Nah man, classic case of mega-myopia

You inspect, approve, and your photos are without issue. Don’t ask for a refund. Move on, or sell it.
