I’m at Gary Con this weekend (if you’re here, find me and let’s share a beverage). In honor of the con, I made and shared a set of the standard tabletop gaming dice. A 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, and the second 10 for a percintile role. I’ve traditionally posted the things I make as .stl files. Here, I’m providing the .obj files (which are really just black and white), but also the mtl files for those who wish to use them in a tool like Apple’s Reality Composer, as well as the raw blender file. I posted those on MakerWorld (’cause I lurf my Bambu) at https://makerworld.com/en/models/254219. And…

Native Swift .stl and .obj converter
Just posted this little project to script batch processing of .stl to .obj or vice versa. It’s uncompiled so requires Xcode to build and run, but is fast and efficient because it uses the native RealityKit options: https://github.com/krypted/3dconverter It’s unlicensed, mostly ’cause if you finish it, I’ll just use yours 😉

Bulldog Barbarian .stl To 3D Print
Should you want to print a Bulldog Barbarian… Here’s one. Best paints would be Dragon Red from Army Painter and Maxx Darth (black) from Green Stuff World. But I’m biased about such things… Been posting more designs at MakerWorld than Thingiverse at this point, soooo… https://makerworld.com/en/models/176548

100+ New Blog Posts Now Available
Sometimes I disappear for a bit to work on this project or that. But I tend to always be writing. I’m not sure if I’d classify it as an addiction at this point, or what… But there’s always something silly cooking. Not all productive or helpful, but you know, sometimes. So there should be at least one that’s helpful out of over 100 that I’ve posted over on the Secret Chest blog. Find those here! Random note: Did the same thing when launching Bushel. It’s a blast to think of new product categories and what’s adjacent and worthy of nerding out about! Want more about something specific – lemme know!…

Gopherfolk Mini
Just posted a gopherfolk mini. It’s a wizard. Or magic user. Whatever. I recommend painting it like a golden gopher. ‘Cause that was what I did. It’s at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6434708 if you want to print it!

Krypted.com is 19 years old
Like a kid off to the first year of college, you haven’t heard that much from krypted.com recently. But if you’re still out there following, I’m still out here doing stuffs. Like the most recent episode of the MacAdmins Podcast, accessible at http://macadmins.libsyn.com/flashcast-13-2023-in-review. Or there’s pretty recent code usually posted on my GitHub at https://github.com/krypted. Or the latest edition of the Apple Device Management book I did with Rich Trouton can be found on Amazon. Or the Startup Players Handbook I did with Chip and Amy Pearson can be found on Amazon as well. Or I’ve written plenty of articles for the blog of my new product Secret Chest at…
