Seems like I really want to have some kind of blog/website thingy as mastodon isn't really suitable for posting details about projects. Last time I tried one of those praised static site generators it really sucked. Conceptionally they're what I'd want to use, but their learning curves are to […]

I'm going to make a garden gnome from clay for some friend's birthday, but as I never did such a thing, I had to prototype it first. So here I have a Globox from #Rayman for you 😋 As I was VERY obsessed with rayman during my childhood this is what I had to do ^^

Todays results: - Hotter mold bottom => better bottom surface 😅 - No LayerLines visible because I intentionally skipped the Al2O3 coating stage to see how bad it gets - Slightly to much Latex addition created something like sooty ash at the bottom (hard to brush of!) nickel silver; 94g

close-up from top of the crucible with the cherry red hot glowing remains of a key handle on top, there is also some yellowish-white zinc oxide crystal fluff in there
bottom surface partially brushed; "sooty ash" demonstration
angled close-up of the whole thing; there remains some quartz-sand-waterglass mold stuff inside the metal hook
