Meal Team Six has finally found gainful employment?

The dotted line would be the path for a sweep. The solid line is the path for the pipe tool (it uses the center as the guide). Apologies if I'm not using the appropriate terminology. I'm learning by wingin' it. :-D

I made a radius 1/4 the diameter of the final diameter (so 100mm OD=25mm radius). It probably works with smaller or larger radii but I didn't play with it too much. (Yeah, I know it's not exactly a right angle with the radius in there. I'm a photographer/artist by training and not an engineer)

Lemme get back to you with an illustration. Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™m not describing it properly.

Found out you only need one path. Pipe and sweep both work, but your right angle has to be radiused.

The worst part is figuring out the next day that it can be done once you set your guide path properly.

So I did a thing. In case you're scratching you're head, it's a frog oasis (or frog hotel, frog house, etc.). Side note, do y'all know what a pain it is to do right angled pipe in Fusion? Yeah, that was my day. LOL

Chems shouldn't be a problem, though you might have to switch to Sprint or Ilford at some point. I think Foma is still doing chemistry too.

Harman (distributed as Ilford) is still in good shape. As a matter of fact, they've been showing year-over-year growth for quite a while. I don't think film is going away any time soon, even if Kodak ends up in trouble.

12.08.2025 15:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Thing is, the film division is still profitable last I heard. I know they spun the distribution arm off a few years ago, which became Kodak Alaris. The chemistry division was spun off before that, which I think is Champion now (but distributing the photo chems under Kodak branding).

Dude, some of the folks I follow(ed) repost or even put up their own. No labeling. It ainโ€™t the algorithm, and even if it was, that shit needs a label.

Pellet smoker/grill FTW! It is absolutely the easiest grill solution I've ever used. No flare ups to ruin your burgers, acts like a convection oven for when you don't want to go low and slow, smokes chicken and beef to fall off the bone perfection. All without wrangling charcoal or propane.

Big things afoot in Silversunbeam land. Taking steps to protect my work in both the 2D and 3D realms by getting some of it officially registered with the USCO. Fingers crossed.

One of the downsides to my neuro-spiciness is losing hours, sometimes days, of productivity due to small things. Today's example, a missing shipment has kicked my executive disfunction up to 11. Almost 1:30, and I have yet to accomplish any of the tasks I set out to do today.

A little birdy told me she wanted a whale shark theme for an ongoing project. While I'm not a super talented designer
I think I managed to get the head figured out. When printed, the head will be roughly 300mm wide. So, roughly 20%(ish) of full scale. (render from Fusion)

Threw on True Stories tonight and I was struck by a couple of things. First; what a stupendous talent Spalding Gray was. And second; how prescient the Puzzlinโ€™ Evidence segment is, like terrifyingly so.
