Getting to the weirder side of things, some schmuck has made 3D printed armour for barbie dolls. Oh, and it's open-source (what?)

He explicitly mentions he has nothing to do with mattel, which makes the legality of this questionable as well.

In this case, that would likely just mean the 3D models and source data and such are under some open-license or another, such as CC, allowing others to create and modify their own versions.

If he's modeled the armour himself then it's kind of an alright kickstarter, I guess. Someone should also make G.I. Joe-compatible tutus.
As for legality, I don't think it's more illegal than making iPhone-compatible car holders or whatever.

It's weird, but I don't really see what's so bad about it. People have been making custom doll clothes forever.

The other thing is that it's mostly to aid in his development of the next generation of Barbie armor and the creation of custom armor sets for backers. He's actually giving away the base files. I've already seen his files for the aegis and sword on Thingiverse.

To repent for my sins, I give you... Game of Phones!

quote:

Game of Phones is a totally new kind of card game. Race to find the best or weirdest things on your smartphone to win.

One player picks a card and gets to judge that round. They read the prompt to everyone else. Something like 'Find the best #selfie' or 'Show the last photo you took'. Everyone finds something on their phones and shows the judge, who gets to choose a winner for that round. First to win 10 rounds is the overall winner.

I dunno man... this game sure sounds fun! Isn't facebook basically this?

2. No idea what this even supposed to mean. Calendar? What a barrel of laugh.
3. I don't have an instagram account. I lose. My friends could probably get a like in 15 minutes. My sides fell off at that point.
4. A photo of a work-related note about a weekly report that I was too lazy to type into my smartphone. Humour intensifies.
Yep, a party game of the century.

My main issue with the Barbie armour is home 3D printing still looks like rear end. It's so loving grainy, like those giant lego models at Legoland. I guess more power to people who want their doll covered in voxelized plastic, but it just looks nasty to me

Yeah, but that's with the printers on the market right now... He's making the files available, too, and when the printers get better so too will the armor.

Also, it's because it's using PLA and not ABS. ABS is really easy to finish, you just pour acetone on it and the striations fuse into a solid-looking surface.

So I figured I would post it here as an update for anyone else who may wonder about it too.

I am living off my income taxes right now. And my funds are running low. So with a part time job and the money I will be able to pay rent for a year. That way I will have time for the Youtube videos. Other wise I will have to get a full time job and only have time for maybe one video a month. I just started the Youtube channel and I know it will take about year to get any kind of audience and that is only if I can make weekly videos and have set schedule that my viewers can really on. So to put it in simple terms, I will use the money to live off of so that I may have time to create these Youtube videos.

The funny thing is there's a crowd funding service for that kind of thing already at Patreon, but you sort if need to be actually creating content and grow the audience from there. Lot of terrible stuff on there but at least they're forced to grow organically rather than try to promise the moon on a scam.

quote:

In 100% atomic clock mode, the watch consumes a great deal of power and can therefore only run 3-4 hours in this mode. However, via the interface it is possible to set parameters that cycle the full atomic mode on and off based on a schedule, and this allows the watch to run off the charger for up to 36+ hours.
So in the best-case scenario, it'll run for a day and a half? Holy poo poo, sign me up! If only other time-telling devices could match this level of performance.
