@ADoricko Pull up to the Wharf

DC swamp creature friends, I’m here let’s hang

Model: no, i CANNOT and WILL not remember anything we talked about today. Me: ok then, let’s write down what we talked about today. Model: thats a great idea, now I’ll be able to remember everything we talked about today

I know its messy but something about a UI/UX made without an LLM comes across innately human and it just has something that the generic UI's from chat, claude, gemini, etc are missing. Threw this together quickly in figma as an initial layout for the HALO app home screen. - Camera shows live feed of the printer. Used to focus the camera lens or see your current print - Laser shows height data, with digital inputs like timing, zero reset, and an on/off button if you're doing non planar printing (so someone doesnt get burned in the eye) - LED section lets you set your LED ring color, brightness, as well as a simple on/off. btw the print library is the main functionality of the app, and is a catalog of all previous prints including the parts CAD file, sliced gcode file, and a 3d digital twin represented as a exportable .xyz point cloud - showing print accuracy (overlaying design intent vs actual printed part.)

Quick prototype molding on the patio.

IM ABOUT TO MAKE THE MOST CRACKED 3D PRINTER THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.

@aphysicist Please drop

should i drop this lol

@AntonioSitongLi Use a mouse plsss

Back on that 3D modeling grind, I wish there was an AI that could do this.

@hthieblot HALO sensor that makes any FDM printer into an autonomous manufacturing cell.

What are you building? Reply below. If it’s cool, I’ll invite you to our 40,000 sq ft founder lab in SF.

Good morning, it’s going to be a great day!

@DabsMalone @MaxLobovsky If you’re looking for an FDM system where parts are always within spec I gotchu

Genuine question for the manufacturing crowd Is asking for 3 sample parts to confirm a machine can make your geometry before buying a $65k system excessive? The first two samples I received were out of spec, and now I have to pay for the third. This normal @MaxLobovsky ?

@KennethCassel can this metal housing be done with Sheet metal? Trying to lightweight it for next version..

AI is going to everywhere so much so that some high end products and appliances will boast “no AI, made by humans” in the not too distant future

Accidentally took a 20min nap in my car outside the CIA compound and got woken up by an officer knocking on my window. That’s life in the big city.

Damn it Sam we talked about this.

Only one side had to go to the spin room 😂

I asked Siri why in my IPhone settings it says “syncing to ICloud is PAUSED” . It just gives me random pictures of PAWS?!??? we have Claude how tf is this even possible?

Every customer who purchases a HALO gets an XL Ahead Wind hoodie. They’ll be available on our website soon.
