I have some wall space and we bought the marble machine X poster. This is the one from wintergatan. But it looks lonely, so I’m making some pen drawing art to keep it company. Here is the first:
It was a total of 23 mins. I will post a finished photo when I get it all cleaned up. But it’s too exciting not to share.
The pattern was made with sandify. The shape is a new Reuleaux shape, growing, spinning, with two switch backs. The pre gcode lifted the pen, moved it to the first xy, dropped the z and set the speed. Then the end gcode lifted the Z back up.
Dude, that is such an amazing wall. I feel honored actually. You, Me, and the crazy marble man!
I need to do something similar, I have so many empty walls. That is just amazing. Thank you for sharing that! I have a few framed creations, single they look a bit out of place, together though, that is magic.
I am currently very happy with it. I am very grateful to this community and the designs and solutions we’ve come up with together. I smile when I come around the corner and I’m reminded of that. I am looking forward to engaging with guests about it.
My wife is also happy with it. And not just in a “happy for you” way. She played with sandify for a while to help brainstorm patterns and she suggested I add the Colorado School of Mines shape. Plus, she thinks it’s cool to see it draw. She’s often my toughest critic, especially on stuff that makes it inside.
I could, but that’s not where I want the lights. I want them in the ceiling. At some point, I will do that, but this was a compromise in the meantime. The previous solution was a floor lamp.
Wintergatan is great. Being a fellow swede It is even more interesting
Nice drawing with your “Penify”
And how about that 3d drawing of MPCNC…I seen it but I have not found the source file. My machine wants to draw its origin and I even have a suitable place in my garage for it.
I made another one of these for a friend (who also went to Colorado School of Mines) and I couldn’t find the same pen. This is a sharpie fine tip blue and it just really pops. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It is almost 3D.
