HOME - CadVideoTutorials DIY Drippy Nails We were immediately inspired the moment we saw bare nails with blood-like, drippy polish accompany Prabal Gurung‘s spring collection at New York Fashion Week. Halloween is one of our favorite holidays and thus, the timing couldn’t have been better to recreate this deliciously daring DIY for our phalanges. Though a more vampy, burgundy color went down the runway, I went for more vibrant red . . . but the best part about this tutorial is that you can make it your own with just about any color, for any season! You’ll need: Dip the toothpick into the nail polish bottle so that the tip collects a round bead of polish. Place the bead of polish on a bare nail and drag it upwards, creating a tapered line. Create two to three more tapered lines, re-dipping the toothpick into the polish each time. Reload the toothpick with polish and drag a line across the tip of the nail. Repeat the steps on the other nine fingers and voila, you’re done!! (all images by HonestlyWTF)
Printrbot Talk Forum • View topic - Setting Max Feed Rate in Marlin Firmware The Marlin software can use standard Atmel / Arduino EEPROM to store all the "constants" you are talking about. The working constants are loaded into RAM when the firmware boots up... either from EEPROM or from the defaults stored in the firmware. If the EEPROM "version number" matches the "version number" expected by the firmware, then it uses the EEPROM numbers. You can change the values of the constants in RAM with G-Code commands, and then you can store the modified values in EEPROM with an M500 command. After that, the "version number" will automatically match, and subsequent boots of the firmware will use the EEPROM values. I think you will find it a lot faster and easier to play with your constants this way as opposed to compiling and flashing your firmware all the time. I agree that somehow your step rate is too fast if the stepper motor just buzzes or hums and doesn't move. (Technically, yours is more of a software question than a hardware question, but don't worry.)
Newspaper Nails A few weeks ago I shared in this post that I learned how to do this amazing thing called "newspaper nails." Since I love words, and reading, and books, it has inevitably become my favorite manicure. Want to learn the how-to? First, gather your supplies. Step one: Grab some newspaper and cut it into pieces big enough to cover your nails. Step two: Paint your nails white. Step three: Dip a piece of newspaper into the rubbing alcohol and saturate them well. Step four: Press the bit of newspaper on your fingernail hard for about three seconds and peel it off. Step five: Top coat time! Now admire your creation; and try not to chip your nails the first day like I all-too-often do.
C3DBenelux 25 Awesome Nail Trends to Try By Jaime Morrison Curtis | I’ve never been one for fancy manicures, but after a recent trip to London I think I may change my mind. It seems that across the pond it’s become a bit of a craze to turn the tips of your fingers into ten tiny artworks. We are not talking the bedazzled acrylic talons of yesteryear — the new look in nail art is short, sweet, and just plain fun.

Spring Manicure By Jaime Morrison Curtis | Painting my nails has become my go to option for keeping in style without rushing to stay on top of clothing trends.

Tailoring AutoCAD - Lesson #12 by Ralph Grabowski When Autodesk first introduced hatch patterns to AutoCAD (more than ten years ago in v1.4), the hatch pattern was consisted of three elements: dashes, gaps, and dots. To create a repeating pattern, the pattern definition specifies an offset and angle. In this tutorial, we look at how to create our own hatch pattern and edit existing patters. Where Does A Hatch Pattern Come From? Hatch patterns are defined in a file external to AutoCAD. No hatch patterns are predefined in a new AutoCAD drawing. When AutoCAD applies a hatch pattern to an area, AutoCAD generates an infinite number of parallel patterns from the definition in the PAT file -- the infinite pattern comes to a stop when it reaches a boundary (see figure #1). The pattern consists of only lines, line segments (dashes), dots, and gaps; AutoCAD cannot create hatch patterns made of circles and other non-linear objects. The Hatch and -BHatch commands create hatch patterns at the command line. 1. 2. Command: hatch 3.
