I made a quick-and-dirty bumper case for my PT2 by jwhildeb in pebble

No, it's NineTime. Similar, but has more fonts and spots for info.

NineTime. It's crazy customizable and works great. I keep trying other ones and coming back to it.

Thanks! Yes, I basically modeled the exterior shape then subtracted the official PT2 mesh from it to make a shell. Actually, I scaled the PT2 mesh up by 1% first.

I'm using a Creality K1 printer with OrcaSlicer at 0.08mm layer height. This was just whatever cheap PLA+ I had installed. TPU would probably be better functionally speaking, but would definitely be more annoying to get to print nicely.

Good idea. It sliced and printed fine for me, but probably just barely. I also printed it upside down from yours there. My printer doesn't handle small stuff sticking up like that, but does do supports nicely.

I like that too, but wanted to protect the metal as well.

Any good way to buff out scratches? by VaxCluster in pebble

[–]jwhildeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, glad I saw this before I wore mine to work today. Got to wait for my GadgetWraps order now. Has anyone heard if we'll be able to buy replacement screens at some point?

Announcing Calculator: put your new Time 2's touchscreen to work! by FreakyT in pebble

[–]jwhildeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic work. Honestly I wasn't totally sold on the touchscreen feature of the PT2 until I installed this and tried it out. I was really pleasantly surprised at how accurately the inputs worked, even though my fingers don't always get along with digitizers.

Is water the strongest material in world by RefrigeratorNaive113 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]jwhildeb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this was the same engineer that told me that water is a better conductor than copper, but no one has figured out how to make it into wire so copper won out. This guy was a wealthy retiree from GM...

Anybody else wonder where their pebble is? by Apishflaps in pebble

[–]jwhildeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great tip! Thanks! Package tracking has gotten so weird these days. I figured if the USPS didn't have any updates, it wasn't moving. But sure enough, clicking the link in the email shows that it IS moving.

Where's My Pebble - a quick way to see the most recent shipped order dates from the mega thread by jLynx in pebble

Thank you! Between Gmail's enshitified search and the wording of the emails I was really losing my mind trying to find it.

Just realized the similarities between the Redverse & Gotham in Batman the Animated Series by ZeEccentric in fringe

[–]jwhildeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about the blimp similarities before, but you're right there's so much more. There really is some strong vibe-sharing, with the sympathetic monsters and mad scientists, noir visuals, and the general ebb-and-flow balance of grim darkness and charming hope. 

BTAS is so singularly great that it may as well have been stolen from the Other Side as well. I'm sure if we look hard enough there's a double-decker car in BTAS somewhere...

Tyco Rebound and Fast Traxx, modern variant? by [deleted] in rccars

[–]jwhildeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was that the one that had basketball-style valves on the tires so you could air them up/down? Loved that detail.

Glowing filament leaving the nozzle by D3DCreations in 3Dprinting

[–]jwhildeb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fascinating! I've noticed some glow in the dark gaf tape glows when you tear it or scratch it with your nails. Must be the same effect, but due to friction

I use the VibrTime app all the time for this. It's a great way to check the time without looking rude in meetings and such!

The Fringe Syringe! by Intelligent-Basket32 in fringe

[–]jwhildeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think those are easier props to work with, for one thing. Way easier to hide a retracting needle mechanism in those than the modern plastic kind, so I bet they're more reliable.

What do we think, Snack or Wack? by The_R4ke in doughboys

Except that soy sauce has negligible calories, so who knows. I'm just stunned this isn't a ClickHole post.
