A lot of great Trek prints in here, I couldn’t help but share my neverending quest to develop a working TNG tricorder (has sensors, lights and sounds). Im still working on this project but this photo is of the most recent iteration.

Marathon.

That looks to be the one!

Some amazon no name one. It’s a 15.5mm diameter one.

Thats a brilliant idea and I’m ashamed I didn’t think of it.

Here is the STL if anyone wants to remix it or whatever.

Great minds! Appreciate the advice all the same.

It’s definitely crying out for that ability. Maybe also with a little tab and ratchet system so it clicks as you spin 🤔

It gets better! Its actually a Sensor Watch in disguise!

I mean when viewed from the perspective of his world it makes sense.

He lives in a world where substance is meaningless and all that matters is appearance and bravado. I can appreciate why to him that seems like good advice. Just kinda bums me out people live like that, but I bet he’s happy having power and influence and money. Good for him.

I couldn’t and wouldn’t fuckin live that way and I will stick with my Casio a158, thanks.

I loved how Lower Decks brought commemorative plates into the canon.

👍

As a seethingly jealous ender 3 peasant who is still spending most of his time keeping my printer working with kludges and duct tape; it’s nice to know Bambu owners are human after all and still run into problems.

Hope you get it sorted and are back printing soon! 🖖

Most of my friends I know who went the kishi route instead of a stand alone emu handheld when I was rocking the rg355xxsp have since ditched it and acquired some manner of handheld, some even just opted for a legit GBA sp with a flashcart.

reasons I have heard:

• Got tired of draining my battery

• My phone doesn’t have an SD slot and so I was not able/didn’t want to load it with roms

• it didn’t fit in my pocket or was clumsy to use on the bus.

Your milage may vary. I still have a couple friends still just using their phone and they seem happy so take that as you will.

Man I love how insanely hard kaleidescope themes used to go.

I think you’re definitely right.

There was a year in college where my friends and I grinded the real smb2 when it was available on the Wii shop.

It destroyed us. I don’t think we ever beat it. We were stuck on the third world for most of the year and it was super deflating.

I still go back every now and then to get through it and even with save states it’s just a gauntlet.

I love it for that though.

For the TNG finale here in Toronto they had a big celebration at the Skydome, our local large sports arena. They played the eps back to back on the big Jumbotron. My dad was always one for a party, so he took me down there. The place was packed with all sorts of super fans, dressed up and being freaks. My dad wasn’t a huge trek fan, but he knew what it meant to me, so he stuck it out and even got into it. I love that memory.

I met a guy there who had fully modded his Playmates Tricorder toy to have flashing lights and sounds. It awakened something in me.

OP: I’m super jealous you got to go to Star Trek: The Experience. Woweeee. Lucky.

Back in the day. Like *over a decade ago I believe.

After watching “The Offer” I’m totally in on this idea. It would be awesome.

Sure! I found some grass clump models somewhere, they are basically just little tufts of grass of various different orientations and arrangements, very low poly but from a distance they work.

Then I selected the ground plane I wanted to apply the grass to, and in edit mode selected only the areas to apply it to (you can do this using weight painting or vertex groups, I will encourage you to look both those up if you’re not familiar).

Then using particles I made the ground plane an emitter for hair particles, but switched them out for a collection which contained all of my grass tufts. It took some time to orient each grass tuft object so they were position with z upward, but in the end I figured it out.

Theres a number of great tutorials on youtube about this technique that would probably do a better job explaining. This video seems really good.

Wow that sculpt compared to the others is like NIGHT AND DAY. Very impressive.

This is a super handy little group. Thanks for sharing!
