@isziaui Are you just half-toning the bits that are different? and the orientation of the sub-dots make them look more black/white based on direction? This is like 40X cooler than what I did

@isziaui HOLY SHIT!! Took a min but got 2 diff ones? github and masto?

Playing with the idea of "different perspectives on the same story"!

A QR code that sends you to a different source based on the angle.

@dalias I tried that first! projection(cut=true) was broken in my build I didn't feel like figuring out what I needed to install when I could just throw Python at it

First step takes in a number of slices and runs through the STL file vertically to get cross sections, and produces an SVG for each. Here's the output:

I then use the PyVista library to place the STL file in space and take a picture of each with virtual lighting on. I always take the snapshots from a fixed global isometric position. I use the calculated camera from the largest slice, which ensures all will be in view.

Then I iterate through each layer and use OpenSCAD to extrude by a given amount and recreate an STL file for each.

Wrote a script to generate these "Iso Slice-O" drawings directly from 3D model files (with a tiiiny bit of manual SVG cleanup at the end). Ran it on some of the most popular models and I'm obsessed with the results using white ink / black paper

Tired of using your own tongue to test 9V batteries???
👅👅👅🔋🔋🔋 ouch!

Honored and humbled to announce my latest product:

We've got this cheap egg cooker that plays the loudest, most terrifying alarm you've ever heard when it's done cooking. My wife requested that I make it "less aggressive" so I hacked it into the most gentle egg cooker of ALL TIME

(warning: probably loud)

We need to STOP running DOOM on new things
and START putting new things into DOOM.

For example, today I added micro-transactions to the original game. Any time you pick up an item, the game freezes until you make a payment.

Introducing!:
✨The A LA QRTE✨

A portable QR code scanner/printer that turns pesky QR-based restaurant menus into physical, paper copies... right at your table.
