Epson says the printer is the culmination of over 20-years of research, development and customer feedback, and can print on a range of fabric types. Mark Krzywicki, product manager for Epson America Professional Imaging, explained that Epson Monna Lisa printers have had a…

Hey y'all! I want to experiment with a new (to me) plushie pattern making technique*, but I'm not sure what I want to make with it. What complex plushies would you suggest? *it's the one where you make a 3D model out of crumpled paper or other objects and like masking tape around it, then draw on lines for the pieces, cut out the pieces, and add darts. I've considered doing it before but didn't want to crumple up that much paper on a technique that I might end up disliking, but it occurred to me this year I could use wrapping paper my family would be throwing away anyway! so this year I am experimenting lol

#the person behind the yarn #this is not a judgment of people who use this pattern making technique it's just my own weird personal hangup about it #if my family still got paper newspapers I'd have no problem using those #but for some reason the idea of crumpling up like printer paper for this was just a major no for me #idk. honestly it might be the texture of the printer paper? #crumpled newspaper or wrapping paper is a lot less sharp than crumpled printer paper #huh okay that's something new I have learned about myself while typing these tags #apparently I don't like the feel of crumpled printer paper #...until you get past the sharp crumpled stage into the 'soft like fabric' crumpled printer paper stage #well did not expect to learn a thing about myself while making this post #but that's not the point! the point is: pattern #currently my ideas are dragon or fox of some kind #but no idea has really grabbed me yet

why is so much of sewing just tracing and cutting and tracing again q_q i see why people get projectors and use adobe illustrator now

#drawing up a design that i can easily pattern from my sloper: 😊 #actually having to make the pattern by tracing and cutting ad infinitum: 😰 #piecing together printer paper to get a big enough sheet of paper and doing this ten million times: 🥲😭 #not to mention the IRONING.... prewashing the fabric and having to iron 8 yards of fabric???? excuse me???? #and then distorting it as i iron bc it has a slight stretch and i got so tired i stopped being careful 2 yards in #and the way that you're supposed to press every seam... excuse me... am i just supposed to have my iron heated and on standby at all times #AND THE STEAM??? i just got stay tape the other day and thought it'd be a neat alternative to stay stitching #BUT IT NEEDS STEAM TO ACTIVATE (which okay makes sense) BUT long story short i'm too afraid to use the steam function #on my iron because none of us are sure if water should go back into a tank that's been in disuse for 30+ years #so instead i get this water spray pen and delicately spray down the length of each piece of stay tape #before i cover it with a piece of gauze and iron it. and then i have to iron it extra so all the water actually evaporates #oh and the spray pen holds as much water as half a pen so i have to walk to the kitchen every 10 sprays to refill it #and i have to do this for every curved edge on my pattern pieces #i mean the alternative is just stay stitching but then i would have to calibrate my settings for a single layer of fabric instead of double #which means i have to switch my needle out more and i'm still new enough that sometimes i install a needles wrong despite going through #all the same exact motions that i usually would. i'm LITERALLY suffering out here. anyway can't wait to sew or whatever #oh and did i mention i went to a sewing meetup recently? yeah... #everyone there bought like $30-$100/yard fabric and i was there awkwardly knowing i only buy like $12/yard fabric #honestly though i have the opposite problem people usually joke about. i find it So hard to find fabric i actually like #it needs to be the right fiber + right color + right pattern/texture + right weight + i have to know exactly what i'm going to make with it

When I was a kid, I had this Barbie game where you would make outfits, and then you could print them out on fabric paper and actually make them for your dolls. I am excited to say, that I was able to install it on my computer! I really wish they would remaster all the old Barbie games. And even, make a new fashion one where you could make clothes for all the different body shapes and also the Kens.

#this has been an SPL post #Barbie #the problem is that printer ink is expensive as helll #I might just print the outlines and like cut out patterned fabric? idk we’ll see #barbie cool looks fashion designer

Eheh... guess who finally got their 3D printer working~

#Can't wait to share photos of the whole outfit! #Honestly so proud of myself for getting this project this far #i sculpted the 3d model AGES AGO but the 3d printer and prepping for printing took SO LONG GAH #BUT DID IT! YEEEEEEEEESSSSS #Happy Happy Happy!!!! #First tested the print with a smaller version which is lliterally a replica of the big mask so it uses see through fabric on the eye socket #Man it turned out so much better than I expected!!! AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! #Sure I think it would be cool to cosplay as Papyrus. I think I could roleplay him well... but... big but... #I am smol so I am perfect Sans height hehehe... not even 5' tol... #my art #undertale #sans #mr. sans undertale #funny little fart man #cosplay #3d printing #a-snowpoff #kinda looks like the big one had a baby haha

oh boy oh boy oh boy.

#yes i've got the next fabric! the printers were having a lil discount

[alarming-prism]

feeling the itch for new clothes. i really need to do something with all the fabric in my closet

#crafting shenanigans #i even have a pattern i just haven't printed it out #bc i need to find a printer somewhere on campus #and that's just so much effort #but hear me out: white strappy crop top made with embroidered fabric #i'm very excited

Every time I see a Sol cosplayer mentally I'm like *pushes them out of the way* show me the sword please show me the Outrage Fire Junkyard Seal Dog II III I'm begging you

#textpost #It's been 3 months since I got my 3D printer if I can't start making Outrage parts soon I'm going to go feral irl #Catch me in the backyard gnawing on mourning dove bones mumbling about z-axis and e-step calibrations #After doing the Junkyard Dog emblem zipper pull print last night I realized that if I do prints in the Overture PLA- #-with 80-100% infill I could probably make pieces durable enough to stick on my jackets #That is... I could rip the handcuff models off the Strive Sol 3D model and print it and put them on my red jacket #The 'hard' part then would be fabricating the leather straps that hold them on but that'll be easy #Basically the Outrage is by far the hardest part of a Strive Sol cosplay #If I have that I'm 90% of the way there and with a 3D printer I can do damn near anything lol #Who needs EVA foam and Warbla when I can materialize parts with corn goo heated to over 500 degree Fahrenheit #Actually back up for a sec. The wig is the next hardest part. I have no idea how tf people do his ridiculous hair #UGH 2009 me wouldn't've needed a wig lmfao

Things my next bookbinding project has taught me: regular-ass office paper has dye lots apparently?? Ran out of paper during printing, opened a new pack, and now I have three signatures that are a totally different shade of white.

#i mean i don't know why I didn't think of this before #everything has dye lots #fabric paint beads yarn everything #i just never noticed it in printer paper till now #i actually like the new color better #but i wish it didn't kick in in the middle of the book #and I don't want to reprint the other 9 signatures #bookbinding #snek makes books

[gender-trash]

realized my pitiful little supply of linen tape was NOT going to hold up to the number of books i want to bind :p fortunately burnley and trowbridge Provides

#the trashcan speaks #sidenote. it is kind of hard to search for non-sticky fabric tape. just in general #and NO i dont want cotton twill tape #and no i also dont want book tape!! #i already have that!! #devil venerable also wants to exploit the memoir class for evil purposes #*sigh* next thing you know i’ll be buying 11x17 paper so i can get the grain to go in the right direction on my signatures… #i have a wide format printer i wouldnt even have to cut it to shape first… #(on the other hand. the emotional Toll of trying to figure out how in the fuck the signature is laid out.)

(Colonel) What was the weirdest thing you ever fought?

"I had to put down a malfunctioning fabricator for the science branch once. It flailed its dozens of arms so intensely that it had snapped the pole they tried to use to turn it off, and the force of its movements were enough to cause it to hop around slightly. By the time I had gotten there, it had shot sharp metal wires all over the lab until it had run out of material, and was making an awful grinding sound in the corner. Most of the staff had taken cover behind some overturned tables."

"Even though it was an expensive piece of equipment, the scientists had enough of its reign of terror, and just asked me to destroy it so they could get back to work."

"I could have cut it in half with a single shockwave, but that attack was too destructive to use in the lab. So - I found a fire axe, waited for an opening, and threw it like a tomahawk at the fabricator. I managed to take it out in one hit."

Colonel paused, making a small, amused smile as he reflected on the experience.

"I can laugh at this situation now, but at the time I was far from pleased..."

#By the way - a fabricator is something I made up myself. #Since Reploid parts tend to use too many microscopic components for any human or reploid to assemble - the fabricator does it for them. #You give it the schematics of the part you want (usually taken from the DNA data of the reploid being built) and the corresponding material #Then it 'prints' the part for you! ^^ #But yeah - Colonel basically killed an angry 3D printer. #Repliforce Highlights

I still feel kinda,, blegh :(

#its just a blegh day i guess #my desire to go buy fabric and/or hunt down a printer to use for this thing i wanna make vs. #how much i do not want to stop and get gas on the way

[skenpiel]

one problem i have is i dont do things. if theres a deadline i need to reach i just wont put any effort in and instead just trust that itll turn out okay anyway

#the next con is in 2 weeks i have so far finished 0 of my cosplays nor styled my wigs nor even bought all necessary materials for my stuff #im missing some fabric im missing shoes im supposed to draw references so my family whos helping me can get started on their stuff #like my aunt has a 3d printer i just need to draw the shit she needs to print but i just havent done it #and i will most likely continue to not do it as if i have all the time in the world cause for some reason i trust itll be fine regardless #and i ALWAYS do this. im like eh i dont have to worry about it (should probably be worried about it) #its like that float chart thats like 'is something wrong? > yes > can you do something about it? > no > then dont worry about it #and then the alternative is 'can you do something about it? > yes > then dont worry about it' #so im not worried either way except i just refuse to do something about it when i can. but im still not worried hshgwerhpgrhegs #its like. my friends birthday is coming up i was gonna do something super duper ambitious thatd require lots of time and effort to make #and i thought of all the details 4 months ago but then i just never got started so ill just end up doing something more simple #i think thats part of it too im like. eh its fine as long as i have a more easy plan b prepared figheighgfsgregr

after ten minutes of faffing, i finally have the last of my 71 pages printed off for this jedi tunic fabric design-

spoke too soon.
