V3 of the bionic hand! The caps for the fingers are printing. Each joint is a snap-in assembly. The allowances were loose on 2, so they'll get glue. But the rest made a very nice CLICK.
Gloves are my own design. iDroid, painted and modeled by Ryu, is the keychain from thingiverse. #EnberQueue#MGSV
So I went to bed last night, wary of Schrodinger's String. I couldn't stay up to babysit the printer's test run on the unsupported finger parts.
Would it complete, or shift on the plate and string?
No string!
Revising for fit & comfort. Have a peek at my schematics!
#3DPrint#EnberQueue#MGSV
Am I over-engineering this so that it's not "just" glued onto a glove, and so that we don't have to paint it?
...yes
There's a good arm sleeve for Venom Snake's bionic arm, but Ryu wasn't happy with anything we found for the hand. So... I'm making it from scratch on the spot. Haha.
#EnberQueue
Fingies! Well, a thumb on me. Ryu will need to test fit this tomorrow... uh, today, after school. He wears a size L glove and I'm just a M. The finger cap is snug on my thumb and middle finger, but not so much the last two. The jointed sections should fit universal.
#EnberQueue#3DPrint#Cosplay
I am REALLY liking the Flashforge red filament. It's darker in person than the flash, but look how Shiny.
This is my own sculpt based on Venom Snake's bionic arm in MGSV. I can't afford the pro models, and the free ones are not wearable ready.
So... winging it with primitives! #3DPrint#EnberQueue
It failed again. Or rather, I stopped it 25% of the way in when it started snagging again.
I have now overengineered the support system to make the brims knit together in a solid raft, and added hollow blocks to minimize the speedy tree spinnies.
Take 3! #EnberQueue
Woe.
#EnberQueue#3DPrint
The phantom cigar from MGSV is misbehaving even when I leave the door open. The one on the build plate lasted about 5 minutes after I left the room... then skidded out of place.
Running the dryer box and babysitting it this time.
We squeaked thru our bills, but I'm coming up short to afford the print files to complete Ryu's halloween cosplay of Venom Snake from MGSV. The main priority is that arm - I have the filament coming in today, & it'll be a Beast hours wise.
Anyone got spare change or want art?

Will art for food! PWYW on ko-fi or off the wishlist, & I'll make art for ya, OC or theme of your choice.
The dogs and I are cursed with various stomach sensitivities and have special diets. They'll be out of food tonight, and I'm low on napalm-free nutrition.

Done!
This is for Ryu's school assignment. He had to design a character, mask, & write their story. He went with a tragedy.
I printed the parts (credits π) & handled soldering, repairs & hinge peg build-out. Concept & paint by Ryu. It started off too cheerful so it's Grunge now! #3DPrint#EnberFam
The infill is So Sparkly on this TPU. I love it so.
Next phase of Ryu's mask for his school project is the decorations. It'll be a white Drama type mask with red spider lilies. I don't have any red anything, so we're using the TPU. It's flexible and will conform without snapping.
#3DPrint
Blarg! A chaotic collage for a chaos print.
The bottom jaw took two tries. The supports are NOT staying put with this filament. The hinge pegs are really shallow, I may make extensions.
We've done initial cleanup & heat reforming, & size tested the flower "decals" (not shown).
#3DPrint
Well this looks alarming. I don't THINK it counts as body horror, but the tree supports sure are melty.
And the one for the left eye & forehead snapped out of place not long after the first pic, when I went to bed. The overhang from the eyes up is holding without supports, but it's STRINGY #3DPrint
I took the hotend apart to switch out the nozzle, since the 6 was still in there from the TPU. PLA likes a 4 better.
The nozzle & sock were GLUED ONTO the hotend block by orange TPU. One of the prior prints must have leaked. Need to replace for Ryu's school project.
Halp?

I'm going to be opening 2-4 #YCH#commission slots for October. They'll help us catch up on bills after a year of reduced work from my chronic disabilities.
You'll get a hi res custom 3D modeled render of your OC having library lounge time with a werewolf, BATB style.
Comment or DM if interested!
I let the dogs out and spotted a LOT of, shall we say, critter debris on the deck railing. I was like, oh no, what's been chowing down all night?
I looked up, and... well, we have one less unwanted sapling in the rose bush!
Say hello to Oedemasia concinna, the Red humped caterpillar; future moth.
Oh no.
We got a disconnect notice on our power bill. It was due Wednesday, not today. The cycle got shorter? And I don't get paid this week because I was sick last week.
So uh. I have until the 10th to scrape up spare change & bring in commissions. Consider my art, please? π«‘

I'm looking to make some Tender Werewolf art.
Do you have an OC that needs a cuddle from a werewolf, or one to gently cup their chin?
Or maybe your OC is the werewolf and needs a date?
Any genders; classic or modern werewolf styles.
(Here's a modern beastie from 2023.)

Detail of yesterday's spectral art.
Yes, I did another Sharksketeer :3
I had fun working up the ghostly effects inside DAZ and via postwork in CSP. The original render looks quite different! Jawz's cape is 50% postwork. π Faythe is 2 renders in 3-4 image layers.
#FurryArt#FantasyArt#CommsOpen
Using only images, explain how you became a furry.
I'm the rare 80s child that Fox Robin didn't snare. ALL the cartoons were anthros then XD
90s, though, with so many beastpeople, and TF plotlines? OOPS.

He waits as the storm approaches. His patience is rewarded, when the phantom maiden appears on the stairs, once again, surrounded by sparks of lightning. The shadows creep towards him, and his rapier glows...
