I just saw that you were making a Hubba Bubba fightstick, but I didn't see any pictures of the finished result. Did you ever finish it? I would like to see pictures of it if you did :]
XD oh god, took this pic when i was at the old house, i made this project before i moved to a blue state and changed my life! that chapter of my life feels like it wasnt even real and it ended LAST DECEMBER IN 2024.
;w; anyway yeah, i got quite sidetracked for a number of reasons
basically, i found a really dope joystick enclosure thingy on a free 3D model thingy for 3D printing
so naturally i rhink to make a stick! i get the model, and i buy some components, and i make a cool dustwasher for the stick in adobe-free-photoshop-clone, and it SEEMS like ill make some headway.
but then i decide i wanna modify the model to make it into smaller puzzle pieces cuz my printer is p small, and then i notice the enclosure is under a licensing agreement so even if i make it how i want i cant recreate it and sell it on etsy if i want, and im SUPER a copyright abolitionist so i wanna make my OWN model
;w; and then im hit with the realization that freecad is hard to use and scary to my dumb babybrain and so is 3D printing itself cuz its a skill i dont know yet
and now im moved and all my components have yet to be sent up here and my printer isnt up here either
;w; and at this point i dont think this thing is happening the way i planned it....
:3 so obviously the next step is to find the time to re-buy and re-build some parts, then maybe hire a 3D designer to make a proper enclosure under a creative commons license, and THEN finish it
XD so you know... neurospicy brain kinda just subjecting itself to the eldritch horror of creativity and executive dysfunction, and we kinda just gotta see what happens.
:3 anyway i miiiiight consider re-working the concept into a legally distinct version based on a fictional candy in my book which itself is public domain, and make it a Bubble Topz controller
XD i mean why not? the expiration date on that washer was already a reference to the year that story takes place in, might as well make more references to the lore and fandom in my brain, art is insanity, Hastur is god, and i am head of the Theater of The Mad, WHY NOT????
