You can collect tree resin and turn that into pitch/ tar.

It makes such a great glue, that it was used for millennia by stone age men and many generations after that, until recent.

You can use it to reinforce the tip of the feather shaft or attach the tip.

For the tip, I recommend using metal of some sort. Sure, it could also work with (flint) stone, but there’s a reason copper, later bronze, later iron, dominated for that use case. It can be mined and processed relatively “easy”, even without a smeltering furnace, especially copper and bronze.
But that is all another level :)

Tbh, looks like lots of (wasted?) filament.

I have something similar. My 3" net cups fit perfectly into many used pickle jars.

You can coat them with acrylic color and/ or put some rope around.

… or some phosphate/ fertilizer for some extra fun 👀

And just in case society collapses, you can make some quick buck in the meantime selling your selfmade soilent green to the starving masses ☺️✨

Great writeup, thanks!

Aren’t you worried about the moisture damaging the wooden frame?

Also, !hydroponics@slrpnk.net would make a great addition!

No change.

EDIT: Fixed! Thanks a lot!

I have some experience, but with the GreenTec PRO. I don’t know if you have the same, or if it’s another thing.

The GTP is a composite material, meaning it’s made of at least two different polymers. IIRC it’s PLA (or something very similar) and Lignin, which gives it the heat and mechanical resistance.

I had the experience that it behaves quite the opposite of ABS or other warping prone materials. Usually, slower cooling (enclosure, high bed temp, low fan speed) means less warping.

But GTP was different. I had way less warping when I increased the cooling fan (max) and decreased the bed temp to around 50°C.
It should solidify as soon as it comes out of the nozzle in my experience.

Instead of painting, you could try etching.

I don’t have any particular acid or lye in mind, as I never tried it, but that might be a good option.

I know it works for steel and some other metals like bronze, tin or copper, so maybe it also works for aluminium too?

Now do a rebase to the KDE version and see how it works compared to Gnome

Android apps run via Waydroid?

You usually can access the settings from the status bar, can’t you?

Switching from a GNOME OS to a KDE OS or vice versa is problematic.

I did that a few times already on different installs and never had any problems, besides the window decorations/ theming being off and needing to set them again. What issues could be expected?

Cool thing is you can rebase anytime to any other flavour you want with one command and keep everything that’s yours!

You can use Ventoy and burn even more isos on it, for example rescue distros, Windows, etc.

What does it do better than Aurora/ Bluefin for example?

They offer the same pros - easy (no) setup, impossible to break, no maintenance, etc.

How does it look like at day?

Just for personal use. I’m a creative person and have lots of time for that, but no money.

So I just use my skills (many of which I aquire by doing exactly that) and build them to my own vision 😇 I wanna play musical instruments, but just buying something isn’t personal enough for me. The DIY route gives me a very unique object in the end.

Doing that isn’t easy tho. I have absolutely no experience with making music or playing instruments, so everything is done by research. For example:

• The strings of the tagelharpa, opposed to for example a violin, consist of up to 30 individual strings each, with the correct ratio of nylon to sewing thread (and I even included a few metal strings on the drone), which need to be twisted to create the characteristic deep dark sound
• Or, the steelpan needs to be tempered very specifically and then tuned by hammering on the note fields. Also very hard to do, and that’s the step I’m currently struggling with 😬

That’s the spirit! You got it!

Basically Kintsugi, but made by someone 13-year-old mentally 😂 Exactly what I imagined too

Just make sure you don’t inhale any fumes from the plastic

If nothing else works, maybe make the best out of it, grab a lighter (or soldering iron) and just burn a cool pattern on it?

I already built a tagelharpa cello. Sounds great, but I currently have to upgrade the tuning pegs to proper ones because they don’t hold the tone.

And a dulcimer-harp-thing out of my broken washing machine. Works great, but the tuning pegs are impractical and need to be exchanged for better screws. I also wanna try out different string patterns and materials. Has a very heavenly echo!

My rain stick is also almost ready. Only needs a few minutes more of painting. No pic yet.

Currently I’m also building a handpan/ steelpan hybrid. Very WIP

I haven’t had the chance to post them on c/DIY, but will do it once I feel they’re truly finished

There’s an official Eurorack variant available too! Here it is
