I enjoy how density can be expressed as g/cm^3 or as a unitless multiple of the density of water and those are equivalent measures.
@memnus@octodon.social KITTIES.
Hrmph. On reconsideration, I'll probably use the 60 LED/m strip due to power limitations.
@Leucrotta I'm gonna be using a paper mask as the master model. The expanding foam is to fill and back it so I can put it on the vacuum table.
@emanate Not what I need for this stage of the project, but may well help a lot with a later one :)
@emanate ooh, that's useful to know!
Hardware store employee: "can I help you with anything?"
Me: "I'm trying to figure out which of these foams is the expandiest."
Tech/soc commentary, salty take
@KawaSeadrake yeah it's shocking to me that microchips are as cheap as they are, given the tech levels involved. Scalability I guess!

Trochee trips from long to short;
From long to long in solemn sort
Slow Spondee stalks, strong foot!, yet ill able
Ever to come up with Dactyl's trisyllable.
Iambics march from short to long.
With a leap and a bound the swift Anapests throng.
One syllable long, with one short at each side,
Amphibrachys hastes with a stately stride --
First and last being long, middle short, Amphimacer
Strikes his thundering hoofs like a proud high-bred Racer.

I'm probably overthinking it. That's a thing I'm prone to. Most of these plastics are probably fine.
@packbat I don't think ABS comes in clear or translucent.

trans formative experiences (+)
early transition is kind of like spending an entire year at the optometrist
"1 or 2?" "heck i can't tell, it all still looks like a bunch of squiggles"
"1 or 2?" "agh 2 2 2, 1 is worse than no lenses and it's already giving me a headache"
"1 or 2?" "uhhhh 1 i guess?"
"1 or 2?" "2 ... wait hang on, i can see all the way down the hallway now, cool!"
Knowing there's people who would be happy to help, but that it's inaccessible because I'm making my own art and not copying something extrant... yeah that's actually incredibly frustrating to me.
Blehh, trying to find a place to durably post about this project and ask for build advice.
The Replica Prop Forum clearly has the institutional knowledge I need but really does look purely for reproductions of existing media, not original builds. I've looked at two generalist cosplay forums and every post on the front page has half the posts with zero replies and the other half with less than ten. That doesn't seem promising.
I just wanna figure out what kind of plastic to use...
Huh, this might be the first time I've built my own tool.
Neat :)
@cute_weeds wishing you those, plus fortitude and strength :)
Today @rowanyote and I got a vacu-form box about half finished. Gonna use a cannibalized IR space heater which should warm the plastic really evenly.
