Done a while lot of sanding to get the sphere ready for puttying, and get one of the halves done but I'll leave it overnight to fully cure before sanding back. I've also added the steel pins but I'm not happy with them, unfortunately I've also stripped one of the screw heads so gotta get a new one.

Half a dome covered in black putty.

Heard about fusion welding using 3d filament and a rotary tool (aka a dremel), and tried... it kinda sucked seeing as I can do the same thing with my 3d pen. It's going to be sanded anyway so I did care about being clean, just gap filling and trying to strengthen the bond as much as possible.

Inside one half of a large 3d printed ball, with a lot of bad weld lines that'll be cleaned up all a later date.

Urgh, got it taken apart thanks to a heat gun (not pictured) but I cooked the cooling fan at the same time. Gonna have to take the entire assembly off to properly clean these parts, but might just replace then (there are some other parts that are getting a bit long in the tooth too).

Introducing Queerples, a legally distinct gaming piece that is 3d printed in various queer flag colors. The range is currently limited to four colours due to technical reasons, but I hope to get the funds to upgrade soon. I am a queer and disabled creator, so DM me if you're interested.

Had a great game of pool today. I broke and didn't sink anything and neither did my client. I then saw an opportunity to get two balls, one after the other, and I just keep getting good enough shot lined up, ended up with six in a row. Next shot got the seventh, then I got stuck on the black 😆

Six pool balls in a container, all mine and none of my opponents.
