Engineers love these things because they’re real easy to design, and very efficient in usable volume vs materials (which is why they’re used for every warehouse/big store/factory)
Obviously not great for living in or anything but that’s the joke :)
If engineers had our way all buildings would look like this
This is the ideal building. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like 😆
Huge fan of Reynolds here! Been a while since I read the Revenger series but I remember being amazed by the quantum currency thing he does there.
Plus the revelation space series are just an incredible setting, love it

Very specifically, the fresh green you see on a forest hillside from a long way away just as the leaves start appearing in spring

It’s not really smooth up close haha just standard sorta 0.2mm layer height, sanded down a little, then I spray painted them gold which hid some of the rough spots
And yeah I’m a big believer in repairable tech, 3d printers are huge in terms of being able to replace the kind of custom shaped plastic parts that the manufacturer doesn’t sell spares of and the appliance is completely unusable without (as I’m sure is the intention 🙄 planned obsolescence is truly one of the worst things we’ve ever come up with)
I mostly use mine for functional stuff, odd shaped brackets, pipe adaptors, electronics enclosures, so not very photogenic, but my two favourite things were a replacement door latch for the microwave, saved the cost of buying a new one, and a very nerdy bit of wall art 🖖
Could it be something to do with clothing, thinking like a hoop skirt? Or part of a tent structure maybe
Can’t add anything as it’s already gone to the client but it’s 25cm/10" long
The ancient Bajorans would like a word
Can recommend the Air New Zealand sky couch - you book a slightly more expensive economy seat and get a whole row with a special footrest that folds all the way up flat turning it into a bed 👌
Twice as long - all the structural elements are the same, you just line up more of them
