I have a question for anyone who knows anything about vacuum forming/making protogen heads

Is HIPS and PETG easier to form than Polycarbonate

I'm using polycarbonate cause it accessible/cheap where I am

is it worth the cost to get HIPS or PETG

also bonus failed form pic

Trying to figure out what I want to do for the side panels of proot boi, I kinda like the white of the 3d printed circle

I cnc'ed a wave pattern into the acrylic panels to try and get some cool LED refraction stuff but the CNC did too clean of a job and I think it's too clear

I saw this hat in the Zootopia 2 trailer and decided I needed it

he has fur now!

went on a hike and attempted fly fishing again!

I almost caught two fish but the setup I was using was way too weak for the kinda fish there

also got cute art commissioned from @dandynaxor.bsky.social of my mental state during the hike

the boy is now all ears

I'd like to thank the murder of crows that caw-ed 882 times outside my window this morning for being my alarm clock

got the first roll of bird photos back!

he spins

but both sides spin in different directions so I should probs fix that

side LEDs now work!

and are extremely bright

hopefully once they are behind some tinted acrylic they won't be as intense

I'm just glad I didn't start replacing components before I realised

protogen PCB works 🎉

turned out I was flashing the wrong firmware to it the whole time

now I gotta wire it up properly and test the microphone, button and extra leds

PCB is populated but doesn't work

yay

oki so I made a PCB for the electronics because it looks way cleaner, but also I have no idea what I am doing so it might not work

this lens is so much fun

got a really long lens for my film camera so I can hopefully take photos of birds

I bought this boring brown keychain thingi a while ago, so I stole the hardware from it and made a MOUZ keychain.

I was gonna use the new logo but I couldn't get it to fit right.

lots of dragon progress this weekend

dragon feet

I bought fur online this time and it is 10 times softer than the stuff I bought from a local store for the fox plush

i have started another project

Vulpix patch done! He joins Ralsei on the little guy tote bag

more patches are happening

Ralsei patch done! They now live on my tote bag

the test run turned out pretty good, but my fabric is too stretchy. gonna try later with something stiffer

I'm making a patch of this little guy

I made the whole thing smaller so I can heat the plastic in my oven, so i made the frame that holds the plastic out of aluminum extrusions.

Trying to make the world's simplest vacuum former for protogen visors. I still don't have a solid plan for heating the plastic yet
