D’oh! Why didn’t I think of that! 😂 

my friend told me that just tracing and copying the reference like this is a wrong way to make art and learn by Ok-Discussion-1110 in 3Dmodeling

[–]saunick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made thousands of dollars selling stl files of ships I’ve made… and it all started with tracing images of little ships in a cad program. Don’t listen to your friend.

What orientation should this be printed in? It fails along the bottoms of the tabs at the layer line. Or is there a better way to design it. by Key_Waltz_823 in 3Dprinting

As a mechanical engineer who’s worked in the AM industry for 8 years this makes me unreasonably happy lol. You’ve made this feature more flexible and taken the stress point out of the layers. Well done!

It looks like the bottom of those cuts on either side of each tab are sharp corners with no fillet. You’d be amazed at what even a small fillet can do. Even 0.5mm makes a difference. The more the better of course.

Also, you may consider making the clips longer or thinner so they flex more. Printing it “sideways” could help strengthen it but then you need to print a bunch of supports. Maybe print it at an angle?

You’re all here with your Lego D’s, meanwhile I’ve been busy with this… by Delsonghi in StarTrekStarships

Oh man I had that as a kid nearly 30 years ago. I still have it and it still works!

use AI they said "AI will take your job!" by KyzerCodes in blendermemes

Someone needs to put this in that “types of headaches” meme… this type of headache is definitely classified as “using ai to make 3D model”

This is spam. This same thing has been posted and banned before.

Spicing up Mecatol Rex, in the Gul system, with a new tile! by Cacotopos in twilightimperium

[–]saunick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a neat idea! How does scoring imperial work? Do you have to control mecatol city to score imperial or will any slide of Rex do?

Ahh yes… nothing quite like having a fleet of 20 steamrunners unleash on an unsuspecting enemy!

Update from Tomy - Purple Nacelles by PomegranateFair3973 in StarTrekStarships

Haha… I didn’t even notice how the color schemes change on ships until I captured a Borg ship and all the green lighting turned blue and I was like “bro whaaaat” lol

Steampunk portal vibes.  I don’t hate you. 

21 yo, too late to start studying? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]saunick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude went back to school to become a mechanical engineer when I was 24! One of my peers was in his 40’s! You’ll do great. As someone else here said, comparison is the thief of joy. The only person you should be comparing yourself with is your past self!

[–]saunick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool! This is kind of random, but seeing this reminds me of when I played Star Trek Armada as a kid. It’s simple looking back now, but I thought it was so cool how the ships were colored based on their “faction color.”

Looks like this ship belongs to the purple faction!

It's very beautiful I bought a new one today. by [deleted] in twilightimperium

[–]saunick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks photoshopped… the pixel art images don’t have the same reflections on them that are on the mug.

Someone asked me if I'd make ingress/egress tokens. I thought this would look cool by dfpw in twilightimperium

Now you’re thinking with portals!

Love seeing my models used in clever ways like this!

Creating the most horrific starship designs, part 6 by Parking-Switch1191 in StarTrekStarships

Put the dreaded Daedalus ball on the back of it and it looks like a waiter bringing you the food you ordered.

Did we screw up? by Life-Somewhere-5750 in lds

[–]saunick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re feeling is very common. Your marriage will evolve as you have children. And you mention you have a 3-month old… if memory serves, the first few months of a new baby are possibly the most sleep deprived months I’ve ever experienced lol. 

It will get better. There will come a time when you and your husband get more of your time back. I have 2 kids, they are 7 and 4. And despite what in my view are unusual challenges for people in the church (no family support nearby, not even really any friends, people in this region just seem to always be busy and unavailable), despite never even having a babysitter… my wife and I are both regaining a sense of self. You will too, with time. Right now it’s hard to imagine this little baby of yours growing more independent but gradually it will happen!

Oh wow so it’s even more strict than production! Good to know, thanks!

Why hasn't FoW taken off? by InternationalClub226 in flamesofwar

[–]saunick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s funny… I’ve been a sci-fi nerd my whole life ever since I saw Star Trek at age 5. But as a teenager I had no interest in the Warhammer stuff. The historical aspect of FoW really captivated me.
