about those tariffs...

It’s about time that we start sharing about a project we’ve been working on for the last 4 years: the monumental gate for the new wing of #DesignMuseumGent. Not too many spoilers yet (a small one) but now that the majority of the facade is up we finally start seeing the space for the 4m tall gate.

Another absolute favourite web destination at Unfold (our browser start page!) is here on Bluesky: @publicdomainrev.bsky.social

Impressions = imperfections

This 👆👆👆

What I hate about the Cameo is how easily it looses track with start and end of a large shape not lining up and other impressions in large cuts due to its sheet slinging approach. A static material approach would be great although I don’t think it’s an issue on smaller cutters with equivalent size.

Love the drag knife though! We have a large Cameo and the community is huge. I think this could be a serious selling point in many crafty households. Reality is that 3D printing is a bit male dominated, Cricut/Cameo is the reverse.

Love the idea of extra tools, the clay extruder was a joke. Not a fan of mixing FDM with dusty processes like clay although a small syringe head could be useful for experiments with embedding conductive paste or silicone in FDM. I don’t think laser makes sense for same reason, dust.

Btw you’d probably love to hear that after being a BfB and then Ultimaker shop we finally moved last year to Prusa machines 🔋Love the XL & MK4. Thought the dual head would be a luxury but 90% of prints is now dual color.

Clay extruder @josefprusa.bsky.social ? Recently found a saved chat log back from around 2010 where we discuss ceramic 3d printer design and you mention you would love to design a clay extruder when you had a bit of spare time. Looks like spare time never arrived… 😂 now a good time?

Oooh! Our favorite travel companion is on @bsky.app!

Ah cool! Thanks for sharing. I read an interview with her in @wired.com few months ago that got me impressed.

Excellent interview detailing the origins of Bluesky & ATproto within Twitter, the current & future developments and insights into social networks on open protocols.

How to verify your Bluesky account - Bluesky Here's how to verify your Bluesky account by setting your website as your username.

bsky.social/about/blog/4...

Aha! So that’s one explanation. You are the type of tech savvy person who owns a domain (and not afraid of a dns setting) that I would have thought to have a personal username.
It’s kind of the equivalent of a verified account on old Twitter.

Maybe it is, the hard part is where to find the setting in your hosting admin panel, but the rest is one line of copy paste.

Only 20% of the accounts I follow have a personal username they own.

Why are so few people using custom user names? Anyone wants to chime in?

It’s so easy to setup your own domain as your username and ensures that you are more independent of Bluesky’s potential whims in a distant future. It’s the benefit of an open decentralised protocol.

Hi, I'm God.

I categorically reject Donold's request for Me to 'bless America.' I will not be doing that until he is long gone.

Fuck you, Donold.

Nice one!

GPT-2 Generated Ceramic Recipes — Derek Philip Au Generating ceramic recipes using the GPT-2 355M model using over 10,000 public Glazy recipes as training data.

But my favorite (not mages) is where he trained GPT-2 on 10k of the actual glaze recipes to generate new formulas and then he analysed them in Glazy and tested the recipes that looked viable. Many worked out fine. www.derekau.net/this-vessel-...

This Glaze Does Not Exist. — Derek Philip Au Generating fake glaze test photos with StyleGAN2.

Derek Au is the developer of Glazy, a website where people share ceramic recipes and include photos of tests. Few years ago he trained StyleGAN2 on 15k images of glaze tests to generate new ones. www.derekau.net/this-vessel-...

Indigenous people in the Amazon have always told this to anyone who wanted to listen but their cosmovision was put aside as 'folkloric stories'. We need lasers to finally believe... happy we have lasers.

The website lists Mastodon, probably a better choice when concerned about open & distributed but we couldn’t wrap our heads around it. A bit too confusing. 🫤

Homepage | European Alternatives We help you find European alternatives for digital service and products, like cloud services and SaaS products.

Nice webpage listing EU based alternatives to digital services. Sure there is hardly an alternative to Twitter/Instagram. That’s why we’re here. It’s the next best thing: an open & (potentially) decentralised standard. It’s a matter of time hopefully for that decentralisation to happen.
