THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME you are my favorite

we used to have a silver otherkin star that we wore daily, but the top fixture snapped. rather than replace it, we figured the plural rings were a little more accurate for us now, anyway.

a friend ended up doing the model (albeit while we sat behind and gave feedback), we paid shapeways for the printing, for speed & just to save us the trouble of actually producing something to "daily wear" standards. would recommend.

#tekkapost #i think shirou deserves 90% of the credit for this one #it's possible saïx had a hand in it also but i can't recall. #gold was almost certainly a shirou choice though. (sip emote.) #it's stood the test of time like a fuckin champ. #skin oils. various manufacturing grimes. god knows what it's on our body 24/7. #it is quite large also! #it hasn't been RECOGNIZED yet #we have had folks ask what it is and uh #don't have a good answer for that still! #we're not out at work as a system but we work mainly with nerds so! #as a sidenote since i'm talking work & processes: #i do have access to various forms of 3D printing at work including MJF #that would not have been suitable for this kind of part though #talking slightly out my ass here but this was almost certainly SLS #while we do have 2 CNC mills onsite they're not open to staff requests like our printers are #for good reason #though our machinist is the one who got me that job. #jesus christ i owe him one. #several. many. #anyway. #we genuinely couldn't find any plural symbol charms that werent either #absolutely tiny or like...a printed image in a container #so we took matters into our own hands. #this picture was taken shortly after it was made it has sustained some wear since.
