"Industrable, my ass." @theymustbehereforthesheep - Tumblr Blog

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

People love simple, extremely practical things. I hope you win!

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

There's always another page in Witchen where I'm like "I cannot believe this is real, THIS one has gotta be the cutest, most wholesome, most domestic, downright gayyyyyest part yet" and yet it keeps one upping itself somehow

Special shout outs to 1. how much the girls loveeee Olruggio coming on field trips with them, precious, heartwarming 2. Olly completely exhausting himself amusing them with spells ("arise flame!" This lovable dork is2g) 3. Him STILL trying to get up to help fix snacks despite nearly falling down 4. Qifrey bodily making him sit the fuck back down and 5. The full chorus of "Yes, Master Qifrey!" from all FIVE of them 🤭🤭🤭

A perfect page. God bless Witch Hat Kitchen, it is as equally heartwarming as it is psychological torture for me 😀👍👍
