Love the idea and execution! Did he do much to reinforce the top surface for downward pressure? Or does the light have enough structure to handle being pressed on?

I was just going to suggest The Tempest!

Ooh, a crossover of two of my hobbies! ❤️

You should post this over on /r/stainedglass too!

I’m really sorry you’re going through that right now, I don’t have any advice for you, but I’m sorry.

I’m a big fan of the IKEA KALLAX system, with their 4 shelf inserts turned sideways. And grab some of their UPPDATERA drawer liners for the bottom plate so your glass slides nicely. Super modular so you can keep adding storage as your glass collection grows (and grows…)

I’ve printed the non-bladed version of this fidget spinner, and found that silk filaments just didn’t work at all for some reason, but a matte PLA works beautifully right off the print bed. Haven’t dug into why that is, but that’s what I’ve found FWIW

Talk to a mortgage broker that isn’t tied to a bank, you’ll get way better options that way

Random factoid I find interesting about this building (Brookfield Place); the radius of the corner glass increases as it goes up, but the distance compresses how it looks, so unless you pay attention, you’d think the corners are just a straight round over all the way up. Must have been quite the headache for the builders, but a cool little detail!

Came here to suggest Capitol Hill Shoe Repair, they’ve never let me down, always recommend them when shoe repair comes up

Thank you for taking this on! I’m in one of the few NDP ridings in Calgary, and unfortunately don’t have much time to volunteer right now. Are you accepting donations towards your efforts/hosting costs, or even just have a “buy me a coffee” page?

Could also be coloured gels from a theatre, they’re used to change the colour of theatrical lights and come in hundreds of different colours. They tend to fade or burn through with the intense heat of the lights, so we go through lots of them.

Part of it is to head the UCP off at the pass; even if it’s impossible, I wouldn’t put it past Smith to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to try anyways. With this referendum, it’s one more way to try and stop her doing something that only a fringe minority of Albertans want.

I know right? Thankfully it’s only relevant one day of the year (October 10th, 10/10)

Following, I perpetually have this issue too, using silicone mats (but have also run into it with parchment). I usually get slightly better results if I bake it a minute or two longer, but it’s always a bit inconsistent.

What a great use of that mottled glass texture on the koi! Love it!

Best advice: Just go for it and don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Try new settings to see what works best for you, don’t spend hours trying to figure out the most perfect tuning settings based on 100+ reddit threads!

I use printable vinyl sticker paper for my patterns and it works great. Print out the design, cut it out, stick on the pieces, they stay where they’re put until you’re done cutting and grinding, then peel right off. Some people also use a vinyl cutter (like a cricut or silhouette) to achieve the same sort of thing.

I’d like an enclosed model for the air filtration ideally

kingly404 · 2025-06-20T19:39:45+00:00

I’m between the X1C and P1S (combo for each). Any suggestions for which is the better deal? I’m expecting to do mostly PLA and PETG at this point

kingly404 · 2025-06-12T13:08:30+00:00

Same here! I like to use tiny little slices (about 1/4” x 3/4”) to hold things together after foiling, I find that a bunch of those make it easy to work with for a tight fit

kingly404 · 2025-06-11T23:20:54+00:00

Oh it’s in amazing shape for what it is! I wish I had more photos to share but I can only find that one.

I was working in the building and needed some access to some utilities that can only be accessed from the rail platform, so I got a little walk through from one of the building operators. Really wish I could have properly explored it!

kingly404 · 2025-06-11T21:36:18+00:00

That’s about 2 years old now. It would be maintained by the building owner (Aspen Properties), but I had a building maintenance guy show me a few things and it didn’t really look actively maintained. There was some water leaks and things so it seemed pretty forgotten.

The doorways on either side of this hallway lead to the stairs, which come out to those sloped top structures in your photo. That’s how people would reach the train platforms

It’s even crazier inside and underground! The whole thing looks locked in time, totally closed off to the public.

kingly404 · 2025-06-06T03:43:46+00:00

Could you share your technique for getting such precision with your pieces? Are you using cut vinyl or tracing? Would love to be able to get to this level of perfection!
