My recent obsession with Severance has me transforming my work keycard into a Lumon one, see below.
I've also bought blue band-aids to stencil the droplet logo onto its center, so that'll be fun. But really here's my biggest project: I fell in love with this Severance computer themed iPhone dock by Albert M., @SeoulBrother_2922071 on Printables. You'll notice that design's license is locked down, so my remix for it to fit my Boox Palma 2 e-reader can't be shared. I can however share the work I did to create a little container frame thing for that e-reader though (see right). It's at a five degree angle and it looks great to embed the frame into any dock, which is what I did. I remixed further: scaled it to match the Boox Palma 2 frame, and I cut the design up so it'd be hollow. I'm not interested in wasting filament and time with infill, you know? Still, the 3D prints were long. Each side of the console was 9 hours, the top monitor lid was something like 6 or 7 hours. I could only print one piece a day. Then the pieces were done and the gluing began - E6000 takes 1-2 days to cure, so a new piece was glued every day. I realized that making it hollow had its own complications: every time I put the e-reader into the display monitor area, it would slam face down from the weight of it, haha. So I bought wheel weights - this week I learned there's such things as wheel weights! - and attached them to the back interior of the computer to offset the weight of my e-reader.
I think I overdid it with the weights but I was getting excited at this point.
Several coats of navy blue paint and the Lumon logo white vinyl sticker for the coup de grace. The last step: painting a matte varnish over it so it won't scratch when I throw my Boox into it.
