My historically accurate version of the Odyssey did not dominate the box office as I hoped.

Andy Warhol, Hammer and Sickle, 1976 https://botfrens.com/collections/14377/contents/1135477

My two cinema screenings of Spidey merchandise... seen it twice and need to see it more!!!

I wonder if all the haters of Saints Row 2022 found this?

Got to see my photo on display at the City of Joondalup Art Exhibition over at Whitfords City.

Just dropped my photo off at the City of Joondalup Art Exhibition! Hopefully I'll get a chance to see it displayed soon.

I wish my apartment had dust extraction.

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.

Melted all the the brass inserts into their holes and got the screws for the ball. 3d printer is still out of commission as I need to replace parts that are completely screwed, but that's a future me problem.

Decided to get my wood burning tool out and melt down and flatten the welds. This should hopefully strengthen any bonds plus add some more gap filling. And a fan running constantly but can still smell the fumes.

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.

Finished gluing up the top hemisphere of the bottom globe. Got to a lot more work to go but glad I got it this far.

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).

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

My current workstation when I'm not at my real job (Support Worker).

Screwed up the top hemisphere but learnt enough to build the bottom hemisphere relatively less terribly. Reprinting the parts I need to remake the top but I'm happy with how it's progressing.

Progress on one of my current projects... I think I've got at least three things going on? Oh well, this one involves a lot of editing on printing. It might work or it might turn into a complete cluster fuck.

Finally printed with no* failures my giant sized Trans Queerple, DVD of Doom signed by Karl Urban for scale. *one major blemish for some reason but I'm not reprinting this thing again unless I'm being paid.

My books are available here, I don't know if the online shop is working so please just message me just in case. I'm a self publisher so I've got limited stock of the photo book but can send you a Dropbox link to the ebook. My work is @paintingwithnight.bsky.social www.paintingwithnight.com/books

... *breathes in* FUUU*inaudibly loud swearing*

Alt-Control-Delete @attie.ai now .. or just block it.

Also been printing some of the slightly larger Queerples for those who want to use them for games like Carcassone.

Huge thanks to @gailsimone.bsky.social for the push, sold about 200 queerples. Now I just need to go and buy more filament, I thought I bought more white and it turns out it was actually transparent (I just looked at the colour not the writing)😅

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.

When something goes horribly wrong on a print overnight.

Got a reminder of this photo from OneDrive, even though the date is completely wrong... still very fond of this shop.

Do they do this deliberately to be cute or is this actually comfortable?

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 😆

Last night, some prick broke into my car and smashed the front passenger and rear driver window. Thankfully, nothing was stolen. Don't have insurance and can't afford to repair this atm.

Got my mail shirt into a vest after a lot of work and a lot of screw ups.
