After being on the M3 discord for a bit, I saw an article on converting 3D models to spritesheets. It's a long involved process, involving multiple step.
Amazingly enough, I do something similar with both my work on CookieCreate and at ThirdAct. So, I'm hoping that I can come up …
Or, at least the word. I see a lot of hatred for money in some of the anticapitalist circles I watch. Claims of "everything being about money", or "companies would rather see you die if you can't pay them", or varients like so.
And, I can't say …
I've been thinking about old style guilds lately, and they used to dominate production and manufacturing in the past.
Of course they would do that through extreme protection of their intellectual property. And now, hundreds of years later, they have methods and techniques lost to …
My goal is an end to worldwide shipping of items, and Renaissance of local manufacturing. The ability to buy or create a digital design, and walk down to your local manufactorium to pick it up next day.
Complete customization, complete control over all aspects of …
I've recently been playing around with some uv resins. They're pretty neat in what they can do, and how flexible controlled curing can be.
I've learned some nice lessons and tips from a couple of trials though.

But writing that was inspired by my searches for fabric needed for a cat bed. I was curious to see …
Making a catnip pillow that your cat will love is super easy. All it takes is a small section of fabric, stuffing, catnip (of course!) and a needle and thread.
First start with a 4" by 7" piece of fabric. I generally use 100% cotton fabric.
It gets folded in …
Recently there has been talk of how Open Source Software isn't designed to make money, plus there has been talk in the past of how Open Source shouldn't be making money.
This is not a sustainable practice, as now we have larger companies piggybacking …
Work has slowed a bit on HARP, mostly due to lack of real 'projects' to place into it. Legos are fine, but they aren't real items, and I'd like to have actual utility to make it worth using HARP.
Thus, KittyKube was born. A DIY Cat tree builder, with the …
I was reading some old nophead blog posts and I found a small part on how pla dissolves in lye. Which is interesting because it would be nice if there was an equivalent to acetone smoothing for pla.
I'll have to do some tests later.
