if you wanna see some cool industrial design stuff this guy's got a cool 3D printing youtube channel

youtube.com/channel/UCxQbYGpbd

it's not exactly product design, but "i tried to design a complex mechanism that can be made on this particular CNC machine, here's all the weird shit i had to do to get there" is basically what industrial design is

some neat starting places are these videos

they didn't even send an email back or anything, I just happened to see a UPS email in my inbox that said there's a package tomorrow, which is apparently coming from their Hungary division lol

Show thread

it'll be great to have the parts before sending off the design so I can double check the footprints

Show thread

oh sick my sampled SATA connectors are getting delivered tomorrow lol, I never heard back from them so assumed they rejected it hah

ahh 'MAYA', Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable is such an interesting design/UX concept

Show thread

designer who's giving the lecture then used that in their lamp design

Show thread

as the sun is mostly visible at sunset, when it's distorted

Show thread

interesting, lots of drawings (even going back to ancient Egyptians) draw the sun as a 5:6 ratio ellipse, while the moon is a circle

Show thread

lecture about lighting design and it's like, actually interesting

hahaha “and created the first innovation in lamp design, it's called the campfire”

<talking about vincent van gogh>
“he wrote beautiful letters, it's like a blog”

oh no, is writing letters really that uncommon now

ugh the uni assignment is an (online) group project after all so no skipping that

Show thread

(did get a message from someone who's presumably a group member)

Show thread

uh oh there's a group project starting and i skipped the lecture where they presumably explained all that

I should really ask again if the tamafoxi project would be an acceptable alternative to the 2 week suuuper basic electronics project for uni, but last time the teacher was kinda dismissive

which was exciting because I designed that footprint with the cutout slot without having the screens yet, no idea if it would work out
