Just call me Church | Typo Queen | 28 | she/her (cis) | demihetace | The Dragon Prince, RE9 Requiem, Destiny 1/2 (playing since March 2017), Halo games/books, RvB, HTTYD, Spiderverse, ATLA, The Witcher, RDR2 (mainly online), RE8/7, Warriors cats, Ga'Hoole, buncha books, dinos/other prehistoric non-dino animals, other shit (the "halo show" can burn in hell and is NOT Halo) | TDP is especially important to me, if it wasn't obvious. No seriously if you hate TDP you will hate it here | Same with RE9 Requiem at this point | Halo, RvB, and HTTYD are the main things that first got me into fandoms when I was real young | Lived my whole life on a farm and love my animals dearly, so expect rambles about them sometimes. And animals in general bring much joy, especially birds, deer/cows/sheep/ungulates in general, cats, and wolves (obvi) | Terfs/transphobes, Zionists, hardcore US conservatives, racists, antisemites, sexists, people against the LGBTQ+ community in general, people who hate wolves/other natural predator species (my url has always been this for a reason), etc- DNI. I don't want you here and you're not gonna like what I reblog | I've been here over 10 years (12/1/13) with this 1 blog and same url. I don't care enough to have any side/themed blogs | If you have read the book Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies and enjoyed it. I love you.

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.

Field notes from the time I scouted a decommissioned nuclear power plant...

This is the control room, and if you look closely, you'll see a dark stripe in the carpet running the perimeter of the room. This was referred to as the "velvet rope," and absolutely NO ONE was allowed to cross it without authorization. It was under constant observation from an adjacent office, and I was told that if someone did set foot inside without permission, things got VERY serious VERY quickly.

This is one of the computer stations, and to me, it's such a gorgeous encapsulation of its period of technology, the sort of aesthetic that shows like Lost will bend over backwards to recreate.

As I was scouting, I noticed the day calendar had last been torn off about when the plant closed for good...

Then we went into the nuclear reactor, and the whole damn thing was just so spooky.

Looking back, I think it came from an overwhelming feeling of utter insignificance in the face of the sheer power this colossus was designed to produce.

The scale was just so out of proportion to every day reality, the sort of place where a weight of "46000 LBS" is just casually noted on the side of a part.

Peering into where the core would've been, all I could think is that I'd never want the job where you have to climb down that ladder on the left while this thing was in operation.
