from the Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar website: a "village" of heritage houses designed to replicate Hispanic town settlements. The houses were moved brick by brick from their original locations all over the country.
Each house has its own function - it can be a restaurant, a museum, function rooms for events, or one can even stay in the house (outfitted with modern amenities, of course)!
Modifying a christmas star design from thingiverse to take in a string of fully addressable led's.. need to go back and fix the points so they stick together better but this shows the basic look of it.
Today I decided to mess around with replicating the look of a Junichi Nakahara girl.
I am still waiting on a rather special obi (well actually three) to arrive that I plan on using for a Junichi Nakahara inspired kitsuke ensemble.
When I received my bulk lot of goodies a few weeks ago, I found a children's obiage. It was so small and cute, I figured it would be perfect to use as a hair accessory for my ensemble.
Well today it got the better of me and I decided to mess around and see how to go about styling my hair. It's messy, but I think I worked out the basic idea. You can't see very well but I have a cute comb behind the obiage wedged into the rest of my puffy hair on top.
After I did my hair, I did the obligatory make up and then just threw on my eri-sugata and my early showa striped kimono that already had a black collar sewn on when I bought it 3 or more years ago. I think this idea has been lurking in the back of my mind since I bought it actually..?
Now I cant wait for those obi to arrive so I can have a fun time getting completely dressed up!

BOXPOP® REPLICATES HARRY’S HOUSE
Austin, Texas
situation
You may be familiar with Harry Styles. Former boyband member turned soloist debonair popstar. Performer with a magnetizing presence on and off the stage. Conductor of electrifying concerts to sold-out arenas. That Harry Styles. Having just released a highly acclaimed studio album, and currently in the midst of a whirlwind world tour, it could be said that Mr. Styles is enjoying a moment of unprecedented global popularity. One prominent stop of this continent-trekking tour was the Moody Center in Austin, TX this October. A town renowned for its own eclectic fair, this sold out arena was packed to the brim with the Styles faithful. Often camping out the day (or days) before gates opened, once admitted into the arena, there were hours of downtime for fans before Harry would take the stage. Hoping to occupy the time and attentions of devoted concertgoers, Hannah Baker of the Moody Center concocted an interactive set piece in miniature. Looking to recreate scenes from Style’s music videos, the Moody Center entrusted BoxPop® and the Britten Events team to replicate Harry’s House into an experiential event that would promote fan engagement and let them envision themselves as extras on a Harry Styles music video production.
solution
The Britten team started with a 20-foot single container as the template for this set design. A drop stage door was cut and installed along the container length, allowing the full interior to be viewed and utilized. Next a finished partition was framed through the center of the container, creating two juxtaposed sets that could be viewed simultaneously. On the right was a finished bedroom scene, complete with brooding navy floral wallpaper, a clean white coiffured accent wall, complete with installed flooring. This bedroom set was later staged with furnishings to round out the retro inspired, cozy aesthetic interior. The left side was a true spectacle. Drawing direct inspiration from the Harry’s House album cover, the team recreated an inverted living room scene. Complete with a fully carpeted ceiling with lounge chair, midcentury modern couch, and end table with lamp mounted upside down, the result was an upending experience that paid close homage to the album artwork. Accented with a groovy, amorphous meld of vibrant sherbet oranges, sweet reds, and bubblegum pinks, the exterior of the container was befitting of the 70’s inspired, forward blended palette and aesthetic of Harry Styles himself.
impact
The result was a widely popular space for Styles fans to photograph and experience. Inserting themselves into either half of the presentation, concertgoers could envision one another as cast members within the highly curated world of a Harry’s House reality. Perfect for selfie’s along with actual interaction with the set pieces, it was an immediate draw for fans who sought to deepen their concert experience and was a magnetizing focal point for entrants looking for something to do before the show. A substantial addition for the Moody Center venue, this curated portable set piece was a highly successful element of fan engagement, connecting individuals with the mood and vision of Style’s new album, and helped to enrich the concertgoing experience.

The famous Replicator avatar of Grendel's Children. I did not use one in its entirety but assembled the elements of several of them around Alpha; since in their original state these avatars diverge too far from the human and would probably fall outside the Uncanny Valley's threshold.
In this first trial shoot I am using Loli Nori's really amazing charcoal "Drow" skin, which she (for some reason best known to her alone) is giving away as a freebie at the Bare Rose Mall. This skin is simply the best skin that I have seen anywhere in Second Life. Sadly, I do not use it on a regular basis since the dark tone sort of stops Alpha from being the "look alike" avatar that I prefer her to be. I am not too sure that this skin will actually get Alpha into the range of the Valley's threshold since it is actually very "humanly" expressive. It is why it is such a gorgeous skin in the first place...

This photo is a replication of the Moholy-Nagy painting “AXL II2”.
In photoshop I used the polygonal lasso tool to trace the shapes of the original art. Using the paint fill tool I and the colour sampler I was able to add the colours to my replica. I used a tea stain brush to get the 'washed' effect on the entire piece and the bits of grey showing in the black circle. I also added the noise filter on a low value.
Sooner or later, you just know we need to buy one of these for making prototypes around the office. Yeah, prototypes, that's it....
One of several direct attempts to replicate some crab robot guys from a Lego Universe promo in the Lego Magazine.
Building them was really pivotal for me because it was the first time I saw something cool and said, "I wanna build that."
About two years before I even discovered the existence of AFOLs and the artistic applications of Lego, online or off, I started to document my builds. I was 11-12 during this time; obviously the majority of my builds were unpolished, heavily kitbashed, or just plain silly, but a few were pretty cool. I credit this to a childhood spent building Lego sets and perusing the Lego magazine-good stuff!
Replication of drawings from children who were sent to Auschwitz and drew on the walls of the camps barracks.
These last three futures I've done (self replicating robots, grey goo and the hermit octopus) are the most contemporary.
They're also often quite dystopian when we see them in popular culture.
I don't intend these three to read like that; there's a whole world in the black space outside these dioramas, and no assumptions about who or what else is out there. Just that a lot of things are happening.
Get past the superficial naivety of B Movies and what's most naive is the assumption of the cataclysmic domination of humanity by an antagonist.
Life will go on, we're just terrified it won't be us.
The way we think about this tends to be like the current in popular discourse that went "Russia is going to bury us! Oh. Well if they can't, Japan sure will! Oh... well now China is going to bury us!". The last time this adversarial stance was actually useful was World War II. It's as dated as the quintessentially British (and presumably army surplus) shade of green these newspaper kiosks come in.
Somehow the dystopian political and economic night terrors that come from this have a habit of not coming to pass. Climate change, corruption, and current intellectual property laws are all much bigger and more tangible crises than nationalistic insecurities.
The world is interesting, and getting more so.

Haven't tracked down the cause of this perimeter retraction issue while printing with the latest PLA. Documenting it here for the moment.
Strange how it seems to be Z-height dependent.
Update: Turns out this was caused by a sticky filament spool.

I did these for a BF member who provided me with some free parts for one of my builds...
There are two small areas where the drill bit wandered - that black anodizing is hard stuff to get through! - and I touched them up with a Sharpie. Can you find them?
I had to replace the springs with bigger ones and change the 1:200 geared motor to a 1:600 one. Now extrusion is constant and stable again :)
So back in the game of self replication I decided to print a opto-endstop bracket because it's small and yet looks nice.
The layers are very well aligned - even better than with the old extruder. I think thats because the old printing head had some slack that allowed it to move a little bit. So its position varied a little bit from layer to layer. To prevent this I made the PEEK insulator piec a little bit higher so it sticks half a mm and is held in its position tightly by the polymer guide. This is of only necessary because we use a non-standard shaped insulator piece that is only held in position by its T-shape. We've blogged about this a few weeks ago.
Things to improve: The tip of the new nozzle I made is not as long as the tip of the old extruder. So it tends to drag more material around. In the upper left corner of the picture you can see some of this dragged-around material that got burned and then got printed into the object. It does not look very nice but it does not change the functionality of the printed part.
After taking the part off the ABS sheet we use as a base material it turned out to be a little bent (about 1mm over 6cm) but it's hard to measure this. So I guess I'll have a look at the raft feature in enriques scripts next and decrease extrusion speed a little bit (now it's really solid no holes anywhere in the infill) because nopehead and others have reported that this should help to minimize the bending.
So begins my attempt to replicate the incredibleness of the Bowsaw trail. I have roughed out a line that doesn't drop too fast too quickly and now I've started building. I'm pretty happy with what I've done so far. I'm building up the mountain once again, and I'm getting more comfortable with that.
At least it has no moving parts. This still doesn't prevent it from failing to work. I, for one, do not fear the rise of our robot overlords.
Thats how the assembled extruded extruder looks like. As you can see I was extremely luckily that the spacing of the holes for the M3 screws fit exactly into the threads in the motor we use. I feel a little bit like cheating here because I originally planned to print an adapter for it.
I designed and printed a new motor coupling because our old coupling use a M5 nut.
I used a 8cm long M6 screw that already has a nut-top as the base material for the drive screw (I should take pictures of this...)
The extruded extruder extrudes but it does not melt the plastic yet because I have to make a new PEEK part first. The PTFE part you see here is an old broken one but I used it tho verify that the filament is centered.
Tomorrow I should probably take some time to check in the new stuff and parameters into subversion...
