...and so a little Forg is born. Or forged, if you will. Forged out of bio-composite material in the 3D printing dungeons of northern-ish Scandinavia. Perhaps not the most successful 3D print I have ever done but he's pretty cute nonetheless. |
Here is also a picture of the bus-ride home:

Yes, this project is still going. Just made this little lamp. It's attached to the wall with a magnet so you can use it as a torch when reading or just remove it altogether. Here is how the apartment looks at the moment: Doing some experiments with lamp v 2.0. Going for either cloth or coloured paper to give the apartment some red-ish mood-lighting: I was also recently at a restaurant and they had these awesome decorations in the window: That's not actually fire, just a smoke machine with a light underneath (I'm guessing) but the effect is surprisingly convincing. I would love one of those for my apartment. Depending on where I could get it and how much it would cost.
That's about it for this update. Expecting mostly everything to be assembled in the next update.
Here's a project I have been working on for a few days now. This is a house built from easy-to-assemble polystyrene blocks and wood panels. The idea came from a French company who also make these Pop-Up houses.
My client contacted these guys but it seemed they were busy so he then turned to me instead.
This was a rather fun project to work on. Now let's see whether it actually makes it into real life or not.
Also, here's a picture of a candle: Today is the sixth year anniversary of this blog. That is a surprising amount of time. Does anyone even read it? I don't know and it doesn't really matter either, I always treated it as more of a public diary anyway.
Here's hoping that it will keep going for another six years. Hurray! Slowly getting closer to getting my concept into the real world. Today I spent in a workshop with a good friend crafting and finalizing some of the furniture I built in trueSpace. Now painting and assembly is all that remains. My coasters arrived! I had ordered some sandstone coasters on Zazzle with my logo printed on them. For weeks I waited and today they finally arrived with stickers on the package from the UK and Switzerland, and they came from Canada(?!) Well they made it here somehow. That is all for now.
A couple of weeks ago I made up my mind that I was moving out of this apartment but... due to certain unforeseen consequences I have decided to stay a while longer. About two years most likely, more on that in a later blog no doubt. So right now my apartment is in a dreadful state. Boxes everywhere, random furniture with no actual stylistic cohesion and quite a lot of dust that built up over the years. Well let's see if I can put an end to this. This new project is intended to sort out this dreadful mess and make it a much nicer place to live. Here are some real-time rendered screenshots in trueSpace of what I've got in mind. The bed and lamp in the corner I already have... so there's that. As for the rest. The sofa I might be able to buy somewhere, the table can probably be made quite easily provided I can find the right wood and glass. Same goes for the little bookshelf and night stand, I will see if I can have those made or make them myself. The table for the printer and television are very much placeholders but I'll settle for anything that makes sense stylistically and that holds up the TV. The TV itself I thought would be far to expensive, 40 to 60 inch TVs cost around the 600 Euro's. Obviously I forgot that I have two gaming monitors that cost about 700 Euro's each so that puts that into perspective I think. Those ceiling lamps though... they're going be tricky. Maybe with some 3D printing and/or paper I can craft a couple of them. Apartment Update Blog 2 is coming whenever.
