I think the Pyramides Papyrium is just about ready! I went ahead and posted my source code too: https://github.com/nycki93/pyramides-papyrium/

in my pursuit of an all-paper icehouse set, i discovered a new variant of the stacker stash box! the Pyramides Papyrium box is long enough for a full plastic stash, or *four* paper stashes, and it uses *no glue!* Eat your heart out, ee0r.

I'll post the print files on my website later; remind me if I forget!

I think it's kinda funny how the flat box looks like noelle's head.

huge thanks to the inkscape team for making it _fun_ to lay out the cut paths for this project. And huge thanks to everyone who worked on inkscape-silhouette to make it work with knifebot <3

punch-out pyramid progress!

edit: and some assembled ones!

here's a fun trick: I arranged these shapes I want to cut such that, after tracing the edges with knifebot, I can slice the page with a regular straight line cutter, and be left with a 9x6" area suitable for a catalog envelope.

hey WAIT A MINUTE. knifebot can knife things besides stickers! I can use this to automate the hard part of the origami pyramids!

I redesigned the pattern so that the cuts are harder but the folds are easier, because knifebot is going to do the cutting for me!

STICKERS ARE GO!

So I don't forget next time: the knife offset seems to be about x+5, y+19, but just to make sure, next page I design will have a square alignment marker in the middle to do a 'test cut' before I cut the rest of the sheet.

edit: reminder to me, I should also put my name on these. how many times have I ended up with a friend's fursona sticker and forgotten who it is??

knifebot and I have successfully cut out A Shape!!!! I'm so excited yessss

huge thanks to this open source project called inkscape-silhouette for providing support for this old baby! this is so cool!!!

ok so its not a scrapbook *yet* but it is sticker storage, maybe add pockets for zines and cards too

woooo, it is done! really glad I went with the textured vinyl; it makes the touchpads feel nice, although it does make it hard to see the little spots on the rest of the texture, ah well.

I think I need to re-do this in a higher resolution before I get it printed, but otherwise I love this concept

while I'm at it, here's two other "phone as console" gizmos I rather enjoy

razer kishi: this thing straps onto the sides of your phone, turning it into a nintendo switch / psp style controller. pros: cheap, effective, collapsible. cons: blocks the headphone jack, can't be used as a standalone controller.

dualshock 4: you can get a mounting clip to turn this existing controller into a handheld. The phone mount is on a hinge this time more like a GBA SP or a nDS. pros: works with a controller I already have, and its a good one too -- I've modded this one so it has real metal joysticks. cons: pretty top heavy when you're holding it, doesn't fit in my pocket.

I was today years old when I learned that the 8bitdo zero 2 is the perfect size to strap to the front of a phablet and turn it into a gameboy

they even make an official plastic clip for this now, but I'm gonna 3d print one first because that sounds fun

oh also if you're thinking about buying one of these, I recommend the Micro instead of the Zero, the Micro has a few extra buttons but is otherwise the same size. the Zero is just the one I already have :3

oh hey, dslibris supports ttf fonts. you know what that means! I can put Comic Mono on this!
