It is called King Nyani. It was delivered to Brookfield Zoo in 2021 after spending a year on display at Hudson Yards in New York (USA). There are two others, one at the Brice Museum in Connecticut (USA) and one at Taronga Zoo in Sydney (Australia).

This was my first thought too.

Hoyvin-glavin! A fun fact, before his first appearance on The Simpsons Profesor Frink had spent a short time working as a character for hire. This is from one of his early appearances in The Far Side.

Ameglian_Major_Cow

the Cow was the Dish of the Day at Milliways, which arrived when Zaphod Beeblebrox (accompanied by Arthur, Ford, and Trillian) requested to 'meet the meat'. It was described as a large dairy animal, a "large fat meaty quadruped of the bovine type." It was said to have large watery eyes, as well as small horns and what might have been an ingratiating smile on its lips. The creature seems peaceful and at ease, and at one point is described to have "mooed."

The creature offers Zaphod and his party his shoulder, braised in a white wine sauce, then goes on to offer other parts of its body, having worked hard to fatten itself up through force-feeding itself for months. Eventually, after Arthur and Trillian have expressed their shock and Ford has expressed his disinterest, Zaphod requests four rare steaks and the Dish of the Day goes off to shoot himself, telling Arthur not to worry, as he says "I'll be very humane."[1]

Obligatory...

 

All were obviously 3D printed. Layer lines were very clean. Even saw a kid walking around with one in hand hugging his parents to buy it for him.

 

Printing a BD-1 droid from Star Wars; Fallen Order/Survivor at 300% (Printables). Noticed that the filament was running really low and needed to be choosey about what part I printed next. I feel I choose wisely.

 

It's not wrong.

 

Woke up early today and the first thought through my head was ... Hey, the Pixel 9 Fold Pro is going to be available today. So I jumped on the site and found it... backordered until mid October.

Anyone else able to get one on T-Mo or another service or are they backordered from Google themselves?

A coven (according to Google, that is the correct grouping for wizards) of 15 Harry Potter figurines ready for my daughter's 7th birthday party to be colored in by her & her friends using some paint pens.

 

So my daughter is loving her new Ender 2 Pro and printing out Harry Potter figurines to paint. We have been using acrylic paint pens (easier at this age), they have been good, not great. We are having a Harry Potter themed b-day party for her and her friends. I am going to print out a batch of Harry, Ron, and Hermione characters for them all to paint after the play time limit at the trampoline park ends.

was wondering... What kid friendly paint works best for PLA?

 

I am pleased to follow up to this post with an update that the Tie-Fighters now all have engines and am halfway done with the solar collectors frames.

 

... for my daughter and the neighbor kids. All scaled to 200%.

Going to throw on some fun colors for the canopies and solar collectors.

Overture Black Sovol White Overture Space Grey Overture Dual Color Silk Red/Gold

 

Good day! I am running a Klipperized Sovol SV06+ and have been getting some really great prints. I am however having an issue where lately I am having to adjust the Z offset with each new print. I did a first layer calibration and got a perfect result but after a couple prints I saw I needed to lower it to get a good first layer. Again I printed a few and then again I needed to lower it. This has happened a few times.

Yesterday I was printing a pretty large print and midway through the extruder shifted (the print remained secure to the bed) and continued printing. After I canceled the print I had to lower the Z offset much further than I thought was possible. I am concerned that the bed keeps "lowering".

I have a very good bed mesh loaded (used the silicone bed leveling mid I have seen discussed). I am just unsure why this is needing to be adjusted and why the last print went wonky (related?)

Thanks much!
