I want to download more comics... But I can't justify more than $10 a week in comic books!! So I guess I'll doodle.
Expanding the 3D printing vocabulary
So I've been pretty wild about 3D printing for a couple years now, and I believe these devices will bring a renaissance of manufacturing and fabrication back to the United States. However, I've noticed that when you look online for 3D printers it's a little difficult to get an idea of the printing range precision these devices possess. So I invented a word that I believe may help potential customers make 3D printer decisions based on their needs. The word I've invented is: (I haven't seen this descriptor used yet)
"Micro/Macroscopic precision printing range" or, PPR"
What does that mean? Well, say you go onto the Makerbot website and you're interested in buying the "Makerbot Replicator" model... but, you can't decide if it's going to be appropriate to print your designs. Well, rather than try to envision what this means:
Positioning precision:
2.5 micron on Z axis 11.micron on XY axis
Build envelope:
225 x 145 x 150 mm | 8.9 x 5.7 x 5.9 in
You can simply find the Micro/Macroscopic precision printing range which would be very useful on a website like "Thingiverse.com"
Here's an example of what I think it should look like:
Microscopic PPR 10 microns
Macroscopic PPR 10 inches (254mm)
There are some advantages and disadvantages to this system. One obvious disadvantage is in losing specificity of the dimensions of a build. However, I believe the key advantage is in the general public getting a quick idea of what they can print and what they can't print with each 3D printer model. I believe in order for 3D printing to reach a critical mass, is to attract the "iPhone public". And I've noticed that what you sacrifice in scientific or engineering specificity (which can still be available) you make the product much more approachable to a greater number of people.
Side note: If a company like Makerbot or similar 3D printer manufacturers were to create a simple line of printers (2-3 models) and apply a single unit of measurement of what PPR the model is capable of printing; This would make purchasing decisions a lot simpler. Say you're a small smartphone case manufacturer and you don't have a lot of money, so you go onto a 3D printer website and you're looking for a unit that can print between a PPR of 10 microns to 254mm... well that can be summed up in a single sentence rather than looking at Build envelope, and positioning precision. What I'm talking about here is ease of understanding, not necessarily a superior system of description. Bear in mind, you can still have the mechanical specifications available.
So that's my quick summary of Micro/Macroscopic Precision Printing Range. I believe this additional vernacular will make 3D printing more accessible to the general public, and will help consumers make purchasing decisions. By bringing more consumers to this brand new, and revolutionary market, I believe 3D printers will reach the critical mass necessary to become an addition to many more peoples homes and businesses.
This song confuses me emotionally. It's hilarious... But, also sweet. Like if Louis CK were made out of cinnamon buns. http://youtu.be/TaOSK-ePrcY
Another thing this comic does really well is create an atmosphere where you're not quite sure if Batman is actually always watching Catwoman. I mean, he says he is, and sometimes he comes out of nowhere, but not every time. Maybe that's his strategy though... The illusion of ubiquity? Like right now, at this point in the comic (Catwoman 4). How the heck is Catwoman going to get out of this? Maybe batman can save her? But how would he even do that? This comic is fantastic on so many levels.
Catwoman #4: I’ve gotta say I really like this series. Catwoman is loud, clever, funny, cool, and endearing. I’m limiting myself to 2-3 comics a week because I don’t want to literally hemorrhage money... But, what's important is that I really WANT to. I like the "villains", although Catwoman is sort of a villain herself... So I guess what I'm saying is that I like the cast. The art, like all the new 52 is also awesome... I mean c'mon, look at it!
Oh god… It’s Sunday. I don’t wanna go to school tomorrow!
Just looked up SnapChat info up on Reddit… This was the face I made after looking at a couple threads.
Sonic Youth did a cover of The Carpenters "Superstar". It's kind of perfect.
Aventinus and French Onion soup at the biergarten. I got a library card for the Weehawken library today too! #rainysaturday #Weehawken #beerbaron (at Pilsener Haus & Biergarten)
Finished reading Batwoman #17. Awesome, larger than life storylines I expect from my comic books. Also, with a touch of romance!
