Remember: it takes two to tango. Threads might want to federate, but a lot of Fediverse instances want nothing to do with Facebook.

Here’s how to solve that problem: don’t eat the sunglasses.

I added a warning note to the relevant paragraph on my Github. Thanks!

75% actually. Each layer lets half the light thru, so it lets half of half thru in total.

But yeah, like others said, that doesn’t make it safe.

Acknowledged 🙂

Hmm yes, you’re right: my regular lenses do have an anti-UV coating on them. I clean forgot about it.

Indeed, it was for the challenge. Modeling this is surprisingly CPU-intensive and printing it is a bit finicky to get right.

I wanted to see if I could make something that works out of nothing other than PLA rather than actual, good eyewear.

I live way up north in the boonies so it’s not like we get massive amounts of sunshine here. And there’s always the trees to provide shade. But they might come in handy every once in a while in the summer.

They’ll let UV through but no more than 25%, since that’s the amount of light the mesh lets through. But hey, for the price, I can’t complain 🙂

Also, I suspect the PLA will crumble very quickly if it’s hit by enough UV to damage my eyes…

I can do one dollar’s worth of anything GUARANTEED?

That one’s easy: I’ll buy a fraction of a winning lottery ticket.

Oh no. NOOOO! The humanity!!! 😭

Ooh, piece of candy stuck in the couch…

I guarantee you Ransom isn’t in the Book of Mormon 🙂

Nothing prevents you from going by any name of your choosing in your daily life without necessarily having your name legally changed. Plenty of trans people do that.

In many countries, it’s difficult and often very costly to change one’s name. I know in France for example, you have to prove in court that it’s a handicap in your daily life, like if your parents gave you a legal first name that resulted in something really egregious when spelled out with your last name.

The best unique name by far is this one: Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow.

I once worked with this guy, who now inserts a H between his first and last name, probably because the “joke” has gotten old for him decades ago.

I would have sued my parents in his place.

Indeed. Normally I pity fhe kids whose parents give them stupid names because they have to carry the burden for the rest of their lives. But ultra-billionnaires’ offsprings who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and zero obligation to work for anything in life don’t exactly elicit sympathy in me.

Elon Musk’s 7th and 8th offsprings take the cake: X Æ A-Xii (pronounced “X Ash A Twelve”) and Exa Dark Sideræl (nicknamed “Y”). Stupid rich people will do stupid rich people shit because they’re not like the rest of us…

I thought of doing something similar, but dovetailing the edge of the hole and making the plug slightly thicker so I could actually hammer it in - possibly cold - and make the material flow into the dovetail. Exactly like metal inlays. This would mechanically lock the plug in place.

Unfortunately, the walls around the magnets are really thin, so any hammering or applying heat beyond what a printer would apply laying filament on them is likely to deform / destroy them.

Unfortunately that’s not an option: the printer isn’t mine - it’s my employer’s - it’s 15 miles away and it’s not on the network anyway. It’s a Prusa Mk4 and it doesn’t have the wifi module.

Typically I start a big print before leaving work and it’s ready when I come back the next morning, so I don’t annoy my coworkers using the printer for actual work during the day.

Good information. Makes sense too. thanks!
