Due to a terrible misreading of a hashtag, we prepared something to post tomorrow, then realised it was wrong. So today, let's celebrate #GalenTines Day. Here's some stuff Galen of Pergamon had to say about the gynaecological anatomy which influenced physicians for over a millennium...

I didn't take a lot of pics, but here's a result of the #scanncut (w/ #inkscape) #galentines #craft project for the Mrs' upcoming party
(these are actually the reprints of the error ones)
I also took a break and printed some cube....tiles? It's a #3d version of the #math #puzzle pentominoes. The sloppiness here is 100% my poor gluing--the cut blanks were exquisite

#inkscape is still working perfectly with the Brother #scanncut. No real software/format issues which is surprising and pleasant. (Although to re-iterate, text needs to be converted to path. But that's true in (almost?) all vector graphics-processing toolchains)
That said, my particular project is having some hiccups
Workflow: My client/wife wants #Galentines shotglasses. I made a single "blank" and then added alternate designs as layers. But when you load that in the machine all the layers are still obviously there right on top of each other
I messed a little Inkscape's "export only selected layers" but that didn't seem to do what I expected for unclear reasons. In any case, it really makes more sense to have alternate designs spread around a page to view all at once. That makes them easier to view and is how I'll want to print the final job anyway.
#3D #Geometry: The shotglasses are heart-shaped and also have some curvature from top to bottom. There's just no way to wrap a flat piece of vinyl around a positive-curvature item without wrinkles.
I think I've got the design small enough and with gaps in the right places that I can make it work. It also helps a lot to remove the transfer sheet early and just lightly deform only the vinyl itself until it is flat.
I mocked up one shotglass last night as a design review for the client but haven't heard back. Final product is due on Tuesday.

Watched a bunch of videos of the Brother #scanncut #craft cutter.....and ordered one
The main model diffs are extra things in the box, more pre-loaded designs and Disney branding. So I just got the SDX85 and added a low-tack mat and vinyl blades
The software is optional but probably helpful. It doesn't run on #linux, but with a combination of the online version, #inkscape and the device itself I should be fine.
My first project is etched shot glasses for Mrs' #galentines party.
Then I need to etch some metal labels for a #map project I've fallen behind on. (This should be a whole separate post, really)
After that...#stickers/#decals? There's a lot of very clever #women who have figured out techniques to, for instance, make multi-colored designs using the scan feature, simultaneous printing and registration marks.

If you're looking for a #Galentines or #Valentines museum date, why not visit our exhibition "The Museum of Mankind" which explores why so many paintings of blatant lesbian sex get labelled "two friends". It's your last chance to visit: the exhibition closes on 23rd February! https://www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/exhibitions/current
