If you got one of my unassembled LEGO minifig head SAOs at @defcon.bsky.social, here’s the assembly guide, including an interactive BOM for part placement. amiedd.github.io/brick-head-d.... #defcon34

Headed to #DEFCON this week! Excited to see my hacker friends! I’ve made a few new SAO designs I’m bringing 😝

We are giving a tech talk at @hackadayofficial.bsky.social Supercon with @dr.supersat.phd in a few weeks 🩷 What happens when your body is the dev board? Dive into the wild world of biohacking, rogue experiments, and deeply questionable decisions in the name of science, curiosity, and chaos.

I use hot glue to diffuse LEDs

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

This year was quite ambitious for me. I hand assembled 250 of those. 🤣 Look for me next year, I make different ones every DragonCon!

More PCB ribbons I made this year for @dragoncon.org, as always I use @kicad.org for my board designs ❤️🩷

@anneb.bsky.social just saw this in Amsterdam and thought of you!

I was trying to get my dad joke pun in there 🤣

Oh good to know. I haven’t noticed any strain from blue lights yet. Like you, I’m just happy to finally be able to see! I have a microscope which has been a lifesaver for my eyes.

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

It was the worst. Even threading a needle on my sewing machine was so frustrating.

Soldered something for the first time today since my cataract surgery. I’m super happy with the 2 color led technique and to be able to actually see out of my right eye finally! Those 1204 side LEDs and some hot glue magic for diffusion are my happy place right now. It’s soo cute! #PCBart

We went to the champagne region outside of Paris, that was pretty. We were able to go in the caves where they make and store champagne. The entire process was fascinating.

Yes I was there on Monday! I found Paris very…dirty 🤣🤣

Have you had a stroop wafel ice cream sandwich yet? Yum yum yum

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Omg I loveee those! I have no self control with those, I’ll eat them all

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

I saw that neck fan in the photo that’s why I asked. It was sooo cold when I was there. I drank so much hot chocolate this trip.

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

I love yall ❤️❤️. How hot was it when you were there?

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Clearly tourism and social media wasn’t a thing in 1974, look how empty it is in front of the Eiffel Tower when my mom was there.

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

My mom passed away in 2021. My dad recently digitized all my mom‘s old photos from when she traveled. And now I’ve been going around the world retaking photos in the same places she stood. 51 year difference at Notre-Dame and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Fourth PCB of 2025. I think this one absolutely slays. 🤣🦇 #PCB

Drinking wine and building LEGO on the plane is the best way to keep me quite on a flight 🤣🤣

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

And I of course got my LEGO passport stamped in Paris.

High risk hobby. The stairs for some of those fabric shops were death traps.

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Home from Paris. Can confirm @samantha-snyder.bsky.social and myself bought entirely too much fabric 🤣

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

I waved in your general direction 🤣

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

Popping over to Paris for my friends birthday and to do some fabric shopping for my first quarter 2025 cosplay projects. Pink hair is making it hard to be in incognito mode 🩷🤣.

Simulating digital fit for corsets is difficult for me. I have a short torso and my waist is 18inches in a corset. Clo3D just don’t have the “tighten this like you don’t wanna breathe” feature to simulate corset patterns yet 😝 #sewing

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

This part of my Anna cosplay from the movie Van Helsing. I still can’t believe it’s been over 20 years since that movie came out. My workflow is primarily using Clo3D. Only exception is corsets, which can be challenging to simulate digitally, so I often do a mock up in person a few times.

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

I’m very satisfied with how fabulous laser cutting fabric is turning out.

000

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

When corsets only have a 1mm tolerance for accuracy, why cut the fabric by hand? 🤣 @xtool-official.bsky.social P2S laser cutter is helping me with my mockups :)

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Ohhh I didn’t see those. What do they look like?

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

I have the carbon fiber one too! @bambulabglobal.bsky.social says that only PLA and TPU work.

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

These effect build plates are soo cool!! It looks so pretty with my filament color, Blood of My Enemies ❤️❤️ #3DPrinting

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

🤣 I’m happy with my board design, the effects I was hoping for with the led diffusion is what I’m not hot happy with 🤣

110

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Thanks, I’m not 💯 happy with it, but I was too impatient to wait for the dark blue LEDs to get here 🤣. Hopefully with the mix of 2 different blue LEDs will give me the effect I’m hoping for

Amie DD @amiedd.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

At least you know how much it is if you pay in advance. You have no idea what it will be with FedEx, UPS, or DHL.

Photo 1 is the $12 tariff tax I had to pay. Photo 2 is a order I made on January 22nd. Both from JLC, who I order from frequently, and this is the first time I’ve had to pay the tariff tax.

I am not artistic, unless you want a great stick figure 🤣🤣. I’m trying to only use the board for the FX
