Alright. I have a grid for the laser unit so I can position things precisely and a test run confirmed it's good enough to engrave words in the Pulsian and Cocoon alphabet with letter sizes of only a few mm, which is more precise than what I need. I did the engravings by hand on the foam parts but for the wood parts, the laser will be a big help. Can recommend if you already have a 3D printer that can take one, mine was 30 € (used).

Today I got to work more on the batch of #StarTrekTNG comm-badges. The body was base colored in gloss black and the next step was to #airbrush them with chrome paint. This will be the foundation for spraying a gold mix next. Also I cured the insets of the comm-badges, since only two were useable from the original print (did a mistake with supports). And the resin thermal detonator got also his chrome paint. #StarTrek #StarWars #3dPrinting #cosplay #propMaking #MakersHour

Today I didn't want to get up,
Feeling rough and very tired.
Did a little more work on the oak chair,
Stained the new timber to match.
Started repairing the oak chair seat,
And waiting for glue to cure.
Picked up some stuff from ToolStation,
And also from Lidl.
My ankle is very sore,
Decided to rest it for the afternoon.
Then did caretaking,
And then off to Milnrow.
Collected a trailer mover,
I really wish I hadn't.
Ankle much worse now,
So I have it strapped up.
Going to go to bed in a bit,
Try and rest for tomorrow.

Sometimes you have to push through.
Sometimes not caring if you screw up or how things turn out are positive things.
Sometimes knowing you can always try again after you learn the lessons from *this* experience, is a healthy way to get through the frustrations of things not going right.
Sometimes..sometimes, you surprise yourself.

These were the lessons I have learned and had to relearn and remind myself from working through this #lightsaber build.

#3DPrint update. My #EiffelTower print turned out so well I decided to print another one to keep on my shelf and use as a foreground prop for #photography.
Recently the #EnterpriseD won my Mastodon poll for my next big prop replica. I didn’t know how I was going to do it. The Thingiverse STL file has a solid interior, I’ll have to hollow it. I knew I wanted lights in it / on it, I had no idea how I was going to do it. So I did what we all do: put it to the side.
So the next print, it’s on the printer now, is #DevilsTower from #CloseEncountersoftheThirdKind. I thought I’d paint it to make it look like stone, add some scale model shrubbery. But wouldn’t it be cool if there were a huge spaceship hovering over it? There’s no STL files of the mothership but I still kept going. Watched a video on the miniature effects and one of the tricks they used was painting over transparent so lights shone through. Ah ha! Boom, Enterprise D. Now I had some direction. #3DPrinting #PropMaking
