The second Shimamura Music collaboration! Manekineko and Oni guitar strap

Shimamura Music, one of Japan’s leading music stores, and I are pleased to announce our second collaboration.
I illustrated two designs for a Japanese pattern guitar strap!
You can read about it on Shimamura Music’s website press release! (Japanese)

If you live somewhere outside of Japan and want my products, there is very important information in red this post.

Gecko Hand of Japanese traditional design style

Hello.
I made Gecko Hand of Japanese traditional design style.
The Japanese refer to the challenges that must be resolved in order to achieve a goal as “kabe” (walls).
We want to climb that high wall as easily as a gecko. I designed the pattern with this wish in mind.

African Fattail Gecko Whiteout Oreo het Patternless 50% het Ghost comming my room

African Fattail Gecko Whiteout Oreo het Patternless 50% het Ghost comming my room!
I remember being surprised when I first saw pictures of Whiteout Oreos in my early 20s.


What do you think this pattern?

People often refer to it as a cow print, but since I was already in the aquarium world at the time, I was shocked, “That’s a super high-end Hypancistrus!” .
The blue eyelids and the tip of the tail are also…SO GOOD!


I completed pet gecko trio.

And now I have the pet gecko trio of Leopard Gecko, Crested Gecko, and African Fattail Gecko in my room.
Only African Fattail Gecko has a slightly higher electric cost. I will earn it.


As soon as I returned home, I wrote a morph using the Procreate app and designed the African Fattail Gecko Senja-fuda.

Thank you watching.

Bambu Lab A1 MINI coming my home!

Hello!
I bought Bambu Lab A1 MINI Combo.
At some point, several of my followers on social media started buying 3D printers. I thought it was crazy, so I checked and found that they were on sale for up to 40% less than the original price.
I found myself buying it too.


Beautiful appearance as if brought from the world of science fiction.

Doesn’t it look like it will appear in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory?

When printing, this yellow mark spins around. It is too stylish!


CINEMA 4D

I created the model in CINEMA 4D. I used a 3D printer in the mid-2010s. However, at the time, it was a very difficult piece of equipment that often resulted in modeling failures due to various problems such as shrinkage, stringiness, cracking, and misalignment of the print.
I wanted to avoid output failures from the start, so I started with simple designs, excluding those with tight overhangs and those prone to errors.


Let’s go printing!

In the course of my research, I learned that a filament dryer has recently been developed to dry filaments that have absorbed moisture.
My house is full of aquariums and the humidity is always over 60%. This is necessary. I will buy it.
I need a vacuum pack to store the dried filaments and silica gel for professional use. I will buy it.
I need plastic modeling tools again that I gave away to a friend from school. I will buy them.
I also need a file to prepare the surface of the modeling object. I will buy it.
Amazon Prime Day Sale is scary.

I spent more than 100,000 yen in the end, and I can’t allow it to be left in the drawer. I must output them as soon as possible!


by the way



Did you know that modern 3D printers do poop?





……..





……..




Poop.
In the process of making multi-color printing possible, there is a need to automate all filament loading/reloading, and the filaments filled from the extruder to the nozzle are discharged before printing.


It is exactly the same as poop, right down to the mechanism.


Let’s look at the output.


Output completed! Fast! Perfect dimensions!

At first, they made smaller products so that they would not be depressed if they failed. However, these appeared before us in just under 20 minutes. It was tremendous!



Prototype 6mm air piping fixing parts

Nature aquarium and pardarium are my hobbies.
The area around the aquarium stand is a mess of Co2 addition, aeration, various filters, power cords, etc. I was having a hard time finding a way to organize them.
I was having a hard time finding a way to organize them all, but then I thought, “Well, I can just make one! I thought, “Well, I can make it!



Baby cricket feeding dish with handle

I used to use the bottle lids upside down. I used a cutter to scratch around it so that baby crickets could climb on it. Still a little big. Hard to hold. Wasted food. So I made it.

Hmmm. Maybe still a little big and deep after placing the output product. The crickets’ feet don’t catch on the laminated surface very well because the printing was cleaner than I imagined, and they also slide off quite often.

As you can see, there is still room for improvement of course, but from modeling to output is almost nonstressful. It’s a great time!



summary

When I first used a 3D printer about 10 years ago, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was for super hybrid super-humans with the following qualities: mechanical design x mechanism design x machine construction x programming x modeling ability x ability to spend an initial investment from 300,000 and unrelenting maintenance costs. I experienced considerable frustration.

Ten years later, I still need basic knowledge of design and the minimum modeling skills to measure the necessary dimensions and incorporate them into the data, but I still feel that it has become much more accessible. The sophisticated appearance, modeling speed, and quality are astonishing.

There are many things I want to make, so I will upload photos and videos as soon as I make something in the future. If I judge that there is no problem in terms of strength, I plan to sell or distribute the output products or data.

KaraKu collaborate on Japanese pattern apparel!

Hello.

KaraKu and I have decided to collaborate on Japanese pattern apparel!
The lineup includes “Ryuzu” and “Hannya and the Snake”. Aloha shirts and caps are available for reservation at this time!

In recent years, the summer weather in Japan has been abnormal. Temperatures have exceeded human limits. Even more viciously, the humidity is high. We need tropical clothing.
