The d10 or, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentago... is a royal pain trying to design. It requires two different parts to keep everything together and I can't get Solidworks to play nice with what I want to have happen. A project for tomorrow. #maker #lgbtqmaker #dnd #gaming #geometry #ttrpg

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Moving right along from a d4, I share with the world the d8. More of a straightforward assembly and I'm not looking forward to the d10 and d12 but I've done so far and I want one of each! #maker #lgbtqmaker #lasercut #dnd #gaming #ttrpg

Dice lamp the third! I've made a d4 and this one came together pretty quickly. The d8 is next and then I suppose I'll try the d10 and finish up with the d12. My own housewares line at this point! #maker #lgbtqmaker #lasercut #gaming #dnd #ttrpg

I guess after our dog ate her food too fast despite having a slow feeding bowl, we need a reminder for the household whether or not she's been fed or not (she's a good liar) #maker #lgbtqmaker #dog #lasercut #diy

I'm terribly happy that I could check out a new indie bookstore in Atlanta today! Offbeat Books at South Terminal. What a cool little place and super friendly to the #lgbtq and nerds like me 🥰

handbag with an NES gamepad facsimile on its front face

TIL this officially licensed and VERY nicely made NES gamepad handbag exists. the woman who let me take a pic says they haven't been produced in years. the colors, the raised buttons, all of it - pristiiiiine. I would really like to own one of these.

I've done it! I've made my d20 lamp! If anyone is curious, the 6 was sacrificed for fitting over the the base. Onto the d4 I guess? #maker #lgbtqmaker #dnd #lasercut #gaming #diy

My first tetromino because apparently I love the T-piece most of all. Stick it to the fridge and now I want four dozen more #tetris pieces. #maker #lgbtqmaker #3Dprinting #gaming

Saw the sticker at MAGFest, but I want to make sure that credit is given: bsky.app/profile/robc...

Tired: 16mm d20
Wired: 160mm d20
Bonus: 7mm d20 and hot glue early prototype d20

Him: My sphere of responsibilities is a gas giant.

Me: That’s more a sphere of influence, then.

Me: Getting face time with you requires a Hohmann transfer.

Me: The fastest way onto your schedule involves the Oberth effect.

Me: Your Google Calendar is a pork chop plot.

I made a d6 lamp! Part of a prototype process for making a d20 lamp for a local business but I'm already so pleased with six sides that I want every polyhedron! #maker #lgbtqmaker #dnd #gaming #lasercut

Making more Pokeballs for orders on Etsy! It's perfect timing with #agdq2026 and I'd love to make even more! I've really gotten this figured out and they're all so cool. #maker #lgbtqmaker #lasercut #gaming #pokemon

A test piece to see if I can make a d6 lamp. The answer is yes and I'm pressing on with more parts and pieces to hopefully end up with something cool! #maker #lgbtqmaker #lasercut #dnd #gaming

My Rosalina for #agdq2026 on display! And even remembered my Peach from SGDQ 2025! 🥰🥰🥰 I'm so excited and feel so special!

Finished in time for #agdq2026! I'm so happy to have another donation accepted in the form of Rosalina this time! #maker #lgbtqmaker #lasercut #diy #gaming

It doesn't look like much but I'm proud that I've designed my own model of an icosahedron for my own purposes. I printed out a third of one because of a lamp project I'm embarking on for a local business! #maker #lgbtqmaker #design #3Dprinting #smallbusiness

Something something like a record right round. It's the small things in life and in this case, a spinning display dish. My product display professionalism is going to increase! #maker #lgbtqmaker #smallbusiness #lasercut

My laser decided it was done having air assist and cut its own air supply line. I was wondering why my cuts were getting out of alignment with my camera, turns out it was cutting the hose into Swiss cheese. #maker #lgbtqmaker #lasercutting #diy

The iterative design process of my PVC pipe Christmas tree top. The first design was just a simple connector, the second was a connector but with top decor accessory mounts. The third has hinged pipe mounts with consideration for part strength and ease of assembly. #lgbtqmaker #3dprinting #christmas

Business potential! Lots of shelves, wire racks, a box worth of 10kg of PLA filament, and a 3D printer hiding in there. I can't wait for phase two of the expansion of our business! #maker #lgbtqmaker #shopping #etsy

Okay so I might have missed the part in the bag and decided to print out the spare piece. It's funny to me using my old printer to make parts for the upgrade on my new printer but that's the beauty of 3D printing. #maker #lgbtqmaker #3dprinting

It feels a bit like a monstrosity but I do love that I can run an MMU3 which I've been wanting since it was still just the MMU1. I had to scrounge up five spools of filament because apparently I don't have a ton just lying around. Anyway, may more shenanigans begin! #maker #lgbtqmaker #3dprinting

There's not a lot I love more than having a pile of parts in front of me to assemble something. I'm looking forward to building my #prusa MMU3 for my Core One. It'll be a lot of fun to see what it can do and it brings even more capability to my #3Dprinting. #maker #lgbtqmaker

First time with new nozzles that will drop right in and out of my Core One. I can't wait to see what I can put out with a 0.25mm nozzle. Thanks for the fast shipping @prusa3d.com #lgbtqmaker #maker #3Dprinting

It's not the prettiest ever but at least it works and nothing leaks. A whole bathroom in the basement which will make game nights way easier. Notice that despite not being finished, there's still a bidet. #homeimprovement #diy

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

Because you wanted to make chicken nuggets from scratch and didn't want to get your kitchen all full of fry oil smell and mess. You get your camping stove and strap it to a propane tank. #cooking #camping

Sometimes, it's nice to teach somebody else about the physics I studied and that I still generally understand the concepts and what to do about it. Anyway, the sun radiates green light with the most intensity. The "Astro" in my username has a meaning!
