A grid of 9 thermal images printed on receipt paper. The images are nearly unintelligible. Some include fursuits with glowing hollow empty eyes. Some show what appear to be normal people. One shows two giant inflatable starfish dancing.

A grid of 16 thermal images printed on receipt paper. The images are nearly unintelligible. Some include fursuits with glowing hollow empty eyes in various positions. One fursuit appears to have captured a human victim. Some images show what appear to be normal people. One shows a giant balloon dog.

A grid of 9 grayscale thermal images. These images are much higher quality than their printed counterparts. Some include fursuits with glowing hollow empty eyes. Two depict fursuits inside a giant coffee mug. Some show what appear to be normal people. One shows two giant inflatable starfish dancing.

I took more cursed thermal images with my thermal-thermal camera contraption at #FC2025! I also exported the raw images this time, as some of them have neat details that were lost when printed. The box-o-gen and balloon dog in particular have some great details that got scrunched pretty hard

A cartoon badger head upon a lamp. The lamp consists of a frilled lampshade and a hyena leg in fishnets. It is a certifiable creature.

The post might have been picked up by one of bsky's automated feeds. I made a lamp that bsky decided was a cat picture suitable for the cat pic feed. The sudden influx of bots and very unrelated people was bizarre

the red “not simon says” paw pad glows and dimly lights the main machine and workspace room of pawprint prototyping. the scrolling sign on the left wall talks about long past Upcoming Events. the light of the pick and place machine lights up the back room

Happy New Year from Pawprint Prototyping 🎆🎆🎆 Here’s to another year of projects, e-waste and friends ❤️🐾🍾

I had a ton of fun making mine, and I really hope that others can have the same experience. I'm still stunned by how many people liked the project, and more so by how positive everyone has been. Getting thousands of notifications in a day is anxiety inducing but you've all been wonderful ❤️

I intend to release the STLs to verified Hyenid owners in the creator's Discord, but I strongly encourage everyone who wanted a lamp to try making one from scratch. It's a great learning opportunity for some Blender basics, like working with edit mode, mesh bisecting, and using the boolean modifier.

Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to publicly release the STLs for this. The author of the VRChat avatar this is based on has requested that the files be limited to people who have purchased the full model. That is their decision to make and I will be respecting it.

it's a sight to behold when all the lights are off at pawb

Three raw 3D printed objects on a table. The objects are parts of a hyena leg. There is a paw, an ankle (I think), and a thigh.

A 3D printed hyena leg standing on a table. There is a new lampshade in its packaging on top of the leg.

A telephoto shot looking through a hackerspace. There is an open roll-up door at the end of the space. At the threshold of the door stands an upside down hyena leg with a base coat of tan paint.

A disembodied hyena leg standing on a table. The table has materials and tools for airbrush painting. The leg has a partially finished paint job with a tan base coat and dark brown markings.

The mesh was taken from the Hyenid VRChat avatar by @alberarts.bsky.social, chopped in to 4 chunks, printed out with 2kg of PLA, glued and pinned together, and then painted and sanded a bunch. It definitely needed more sanding and higher print quality, but luckily fishnets hide a lot of crimes.

I saw a similar build posted by R0rek on birdsite and hyperfixation hit hard. A few late nights at @pawprintprototyping.org later and the object had been summoned.

A cursed lamp. The lamp is shaped like a hyena leg. The leg is wearing a thigh-high fishnet legging. The lampshade atop the leg has black fringe. This view shows the spots on the outside of the thigh.

A scene within a hackerspace. The scene depicts a table with a laptop, a serial terminal, and a lamp. The laptop is ruggedized. The terminal has an amber display showing an angry "owo" face. The lamp is shaped like a hyena leg. The lamp is wearing a thigh-high fishnet.

I made the lamp from A Christmas Story but worse :>

Three very low quality prints of thermal images. One depicts a top-down view of a pile of fursuiters under the fishbowl. I think. Another depicts three inflatable Marios in the lobby of the DESCC. The last print is a staffer posing for the camera.

Three very low quality prints of thermal images. One depicts two fursuiters waving at the camera. Their eyes glow menacingly. Another depicts an otter posing for the camera. The last depicts some people in line for a panel.

Here are a few more shots from the thermal-thermal camera contraption at #mff2024. In hindsight, I probably should have asked people if they wanted to be tagged and what their handles were. Giving them a crappy print out and disappearing was more fun though lol

It's been pretty good! I've been running the whole setup for over 9 hours today and the 37w (advertised) USB battery pack is still at ~35% - and that's while broadcasting a WiFi AP for maintenance too
My only complaint about the Zero W 2 is that it's still micro-USB :/

The contraption disassembled with its components strewn across a countertop. A hot glue gun lays in wait, warming up and readying to attack.

I've only had to disassemble and hot-glue it once so far!

A 3d printed camera with a metallic lens, an integrated thermal printer, and a neck strap. The camera has text printed on it which says "i'm a camera owo". The printer has googly eyes adhered to it. The printer is looking at the viewer. The printer's intentions are unknown.

The contraption displaying a print-out of the hallway image.

9 printed thermal images of various subjects. Some show footprints, the hotel, suiters, escalators, etc. all prints are of notably poor quality.

I managed to throw together a little contraption just in time for #MFF2024 - a thermal camera with a built-in thermal printer!
It's been working surprisingly well so far, and the reactions have been great when people get thermal prints of their thermal pics

A very cursed long electrical outlet in it's original packaging. "OCTO-LET" "8 electrical outlets from 1" The outlet is just two long electrified slots. The packaging appears to be from some time around the 1960s and includes two scenes demonstrating using the outlet - both of which are worryingly dangerous. One depicts running various power tools in a workshop while the other depicts running numerous high-power devices in the kitchen.

A zoomed-in picture of the kitchen example on the packaging. The scene depicts a smiling woman pointing to the cursed power outlet. The outlet is connected to a blender, kettle, toaster, microwave, and radio(?) all at the same time. The scene does not depict the resulting house fire.

Wait, I was JOKING! That was SATIRE!

Oooh, I was just looking for a way to power my toaster, kettle, microwave, and griddle all at the same time - ideally right next to the kitchen sink. This outlet looks perfect and definitely not dangerous at all

I made it almost an entire day before frying the high-side driver and esp by accidentally connecting 24v to the 3.3v rail :>
