Thermal fusion is so cool, i really want to add it to the protogen just for the meme but idk if i could work the camera pods into the design or not

Image processing done real time in Godot of all things

Found out you can overclock your TS80 soldering iron with custom firmware, i love the open source community
Also fixed the annoying low voltage warning i was getting 10/10

It has arrived, but it's still too bright out to test properly

Sometimes you need to just impulse buy a 1980s tank nightvision image tube, and I think that's okay

It should be a crime to make a CPU with more cores/threads than PCIe lanes.

Resin printed protogen ears, in a semi-flex resin.

This stuff makes Chernobyl look easy to clean up.

Proof of concept test for the proots visor, from slab of resin to finished product

Still a few changes to make and problems to fix, but it feels like a success overall

Photos from my Rayxar 50mm F0.75 lens

Keep in mind basically every part of this lens that can be dirty is dirty. It's got fungus on the inside, finger prints on front and rear elements, i even added a finger smudge to the camera's sensor for good measure :3

This lens will never not be funny to me

Its big, heavy, doesn't even have a zoom function (i would add one but there is literally no room) !!BUT IT'S F0.75!!
