You can’t post this and not show the finished product.

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Yes, that was infuriating

Man I was really hoping this was a perfect loop.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I cannot stop coming back to this. I think I'm learning how to make a perfect loop out of this tonight. I totally think it could be done with the first two passes.

That can’t be human right?

Must be a robotic arm

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

Gotta be a 2 axis gantry. I mean, it could be a standard 6 axis robot arm, but I seriously doubt it.

Definitely not by hand. There used to be things called pen plotters before printers and 3D printers that everyone seems to be unaware of. An X, Y stage with a pen attached. Replace with a brush. But since those are so rare these days it’s likely a repurposed cnc router rather than a repurposed 3D printer so can fit larger canvas

I was thinking the exact same thing. Absolutely has to be a robot.

[–] sicarius@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Probably a 3d printer with the nozzle replaced with a paintbrush could do the job. Maybe a tube through the center of the handle to supply paint.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

CNC could do it.

[–] dangling_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I never had a brush like this; evenly spread with unlimited paint. 😐

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Must be fed with an internal tube, it's like a 3d printer

Perfect thing to watch while sitting on the toilet

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Can confirm.
