Alternative uses of a 3D printer: Toner transfer on a watch dial ( i.imgur.com )

I've watched a lot of resources about toner transfer over the last few days, and while everything was quite experimental and empirical, the main gist was : heat + pressure = toner transfer. As I didn't want to, for obvious reasons, cook a dial full of unknown glues, paints and metals in the family's kitchen oven, I started...

Very cool! This is the second time I see the heat-bed used in an 'exotic' way 😄

But what piqued my interest is, what the heck are you doing with watch dials? I know from buying a couple of watches that the dial is always considered a work of art, precision and crispness. What I mean to say is, dials seem to be uber important. And seems very, very difficult to mimic by yourself at home.

Are you trying to create watches and thus need to also create dials? Create new dials for existing watches?
I'm super curious now 😀

Ah, clear. Have fun then! The end result look quite nice actually, fun project.

Bit of free advice should anyone in charge be listening 😀 (they are not of course)

Have a couple of drones swarming the area you bomb. Once the big one has exploded, people tend to panic and/or be in disarray. And when humans are in that condition, they tend to 'clump' together and not pay attention to protocols and safety guidelines. That's when the mop-up drones come in and take groups of soldiers out by attacking these stressed out groups.

You're welcome.

Perhaps by some definition it is. Or not.
For me it is common sense. What is war if not eliminating as much of your opponent as you can? You take every opportunity you can to inflict as much pain, hurt and loss onto your enemy as possible.

Turbo...
It's that damn "turbo" again but now AI

In the eighties "turbo" was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label "turbo" on it. Now it will be "AI" all over things.
Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it's gonna be wild...

I love how you give all this reasonable and sensible advice on movements and equipment but I think the russian army is just not that clever, disciplined and equipped to do all the things you mention, nor do they care 😂

They'd be throwing rocks and shovels if russian command demands them to. It's a meat grinder, they do not care about personnel, they expect you to give up because you cannot keep up with the killing of their men. That is the russian tactic and way of doing things. Overwhelm you with bodies and once the surviving bodies get a hold of you, they will be brutal towards you like you live in a nightmare, due to the facts that the surviving soldiers will have an insane amount of hate towards you for killing so many of their comrades. Ask Germany how that went at the end of the war.

Now why would the world hate russia, hmmm? Could it be the war and killing you do in Ukraine? The threats against other democracies? The bullying of other countries and persons? The megalomaniac tendencies of that monkey putin?

No sympathy from me...

People in this thread talking about how these are humans and we need to have some compassion?
How about you reserve that compassion for the Ukrainians killed by those same bastards?

You walk into a country not yours and start shooting, killing people that live there? I could not care less if you get shot or blown to pieces when you do that. It really is that simple.

reddit, which in itself is pretty left-leaning.

Thanks, I needed a good chuckle this morning and this absolute nonsense hit the right spot!
