There are plenty of apps out there that can be beneficial to an organization, but don’t really make sense to live on an app store. This might be because the app uses private APIs, breaks acceptable design patterns, needs to be customized for every use case, is just proof of concept code, etc, etc, etc. Anyone with an Apple Developer certificate can compile an app to test it on their local machine. We can go into more detail later for people that want to then distribute/re-distribute those apps… To get started, first we’ll clone the project to our local machine. To do so, in Github or Gitlab or wherever it…

Test A Fork Of NoMAD Maybe?
tldr: here’s a slightly modernized fork of NoMAD that needs a little testing: https://gitlab.com/krypted1/nomad2 Been working on a fork of NoMAD that will hopefull just modernize code and get merged back in. In general, the changes shouldn’t be noticed with a big exception, it’s a breaking change for machines that run an operating system older than Catalina. Apple changes APIs and so we have the option to either introduce a breaking change or make the code really complicated by retaining existing code or moving to new APIs. So this version starts to transition away from UIKit and towards Swift UI. It also removes Carthage in favor of Swift Package Manager.…

3D Printable Mold to Make Clay Cobblestones
Not life-sized cobblestones, mind you. But those for miniature wargaming. Although according to the size of the printer, I guess you could. The goal with this stl was to be able to print a thing, press clay into it, and maybe experiment with other materials. Theoretically it could be infilled and used as actual terrain pieces, but there are probably better pieces for that out there for download. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5917937

3D-Printable Roman Denarii Coin and Coin Collection
TLDR: Download the coin from my Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5908546. I’ve also put all the coins into a collection at https://www.thingiverse.com/krypted/collections/37539515/things. The first coins to arrive in the Italian Peninsula were influenced by the Greeks, as they colonized the coastal areas. Rome was a village as early as the 1,400s BCE and as a city was founded in 753 BCE, although archaeological evidence shows that people inhabited the area as far as 14,000 years ago. It began as a monarchy but by 509 BCE had become a republic. By the third and second century, Rome had been trading with the Greeks, then throughout the Mediteranian, modern Europe, what we now consider…

3D-Printable Chinese Tang Dynasty-Era Coin
TLDR: Download the coin here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5904625 The Chinese used had shells well before 1,000 BCE as gifts, especially those bestowed upon the people from their aristocracy. Those were used in religious ceremonies and some hypothesize that imitation shells were used as a form of currency as far back as an estimated 700 BCE, around the time the bronze age ended in China. Knife money, or knife-shaped money began to be used in China in the centuries after 600 BCE. Spade money, or money that physically resembles a spade, began use some time after 640 BCE, which actually makes it far older than the stater, but it’s theorized they were used…

3D-Printable Byzantine Coins (and why they matter)
Just posted a .stl file for a Byzantine Coin at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5902779. The Roman empire had been unified in 27 BCE and the western empire fell in the 400s CE.

Having been settled by the Greeks and then occupied by the Greeks. The colony began as a trading site and then traded hands between city states and the Persian Empire…

3D-printable Francish Coin From Charlemagne (and why)
Just posted another coin, this time a post Roman empire coin from the next to claim the title: Charlemagne: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5902572 After the fall of the Western Roman empire, Rome retreated from lands as her generals were defeated. The Merovingian dynasty rose in the 5th century with the defeat of Syagrius, the last Roman general of Gaul and lasted until a family of advisors slowly took control of running the country, transitioning to the Carolingian Empire, of which Charlemagne, the Holy Roman Emperor, as he was crowned, was the most famous. He conquered and grew the empire. Medieval Christians still held the last vestiges of the Roman empire, the Eastern Byzantine…
