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…

A deeper dive into AR graphics and how we got here
Posted this at https://www.secretchest.io/post/a-deeper-dive-into-augmented-reality-graphics-and-how-we-got-here but thought I’d throw it in here too. <3

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!…

MacSysAdmin Keynote Deck
Just finished delivering the keynote for MacSysAdmin with Joel Rennich and how wonderful it is to see so many wonderful people who I’ve missed getting to hang out with in person for years! Here’s the presentation we gave (as promised) for anyone interested – and I’ll link to the video when it’s uploaded!

Install and Setup mongodb on a Mac
I don’t write as much about what I do at my day job as I used to. I probably should, because it’s all still relavant to my older readers. One example of that is that I have published a lot of articles on MySQL and sqlite. However, more and more of my development efforts use native json. I’ve slowly fallen in love with mongodb for this reason – I can have a local database that is fast, that stores data in native json. That makes my transactions cheaper when it’s time to read and write for databases. If I have to regex to put information in sql and then take…

Cha’pa (Beaverfolk) Fighter stl
Here’s a Cha’pa (Beaverfolk) Fighter I just posted on Thingiverse A friend saw the badger I made and went to Oregon State, sooooooo… I guess Go Beavers! But also, the Spelljammer Dungeons & Dragons stuff has been fun to play through. For those that want to go beyond some of the existing animal hybrids, here’s a Beaverfolk (Cha’pa) fighter. Could probably use as an Opsu (Possumfolk) fighter as well, given the similarities and all that (if you just thinned the tail to make it look more like a possum tail). It’s unlicensed, so remix away and have fun! The badger turned out better, but throw this into blender, add some…

Hadozee Monk .stl
Just posted this Hadozee Monk to Thingiverse For those who are playing with simian-inspired characters, here’s a Hadozee monk (or humanoid monk-ey hybrid). This one was going for more of an Eastern campaign setting (think Kara-Tur) based on a suit of armor I saw one time in Istanbul. Could be played as another class or whatever, but this stl was designed as a 28mm role-playing miniature for use in a Dungeons & Dragons one-shot I’m writing. Hope you enjoy! Oh, and to see my other designs to print, feel free to check out https://www.thingiverse.com/krypted/designs. I publish everything without a limited license, so feel free to print and sell, remix and…

Bucky The Badgerfolk (Mustie) Ranger
Published this design to Thingiverse for that special spot in the venn diagram – people who went to the University of Wisconsin, play D&D, and like to 3D print your minis. His name is Bucky. See what I did there… 🦡😘 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6194852 Note: A bipedal badger feels similar to a bipedal racoon or if the tail were changed, maybe possum. Maybe some different paint. I should post the source so it’s easy to change the tail. I’ll get on that…
