Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 21/08/2026I was struggling to think of how I could get these two thicker areas of each wire as a handle-hint where one can grab to reroute. Two paths underneath the main (one reversed). borrowed from @kevinpowell.co stroke-dasharray: 45px calc(infinity * 1px); makes for a single constant-length dash 210
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 21/08/2026A few QoL updates: - A viewport control bar - better context menus - select all, cut, copy, and paste keyboard shortcuts - the ability to re-route links by dragging on a link near a socket. 100
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 16/08/2026more arcanigen fun this morning timelapse: youtu.be/jmqVyNaKwzQ?... 100
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 01/08/2026New version of Arcanigen is out. arcanigen.thatrobhuman.com added a Path Combine node (which is a consolidation of the existing path boolean nodes that were already there) 000
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 27/06/2026hey @cults3d.bsky.social what the hell? MGM does not own the english word "stargate" - they own the scifi-franchise that happens to have that word as a title... I'm totally on board with Copyright enforcement, but restricting *trademarked* words on *search* ? Are you Insane?!? 200
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 24/06/2026this is v2 of a system ive been concocting for quite some time, and i think im closing in on the final thing. 120
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 06/05/2026do you mean having the anchor target be an svg element? If so, that's not quite what I mean. I mean doing something like this (this is a bit simplified, of course) svg > path.connector { d: shape(from anchor(--socket-A center) line to anchor(--socket-B center)); } 120
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 31/03/2026Minor suggestion: use a faded version of the icon within the brackets. it looks hard to read when there's a token there or not if the token is identical to the placeholder. 110
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 26/02/2026added resizable "Container" nodes that bring other nodes within their bounds along for the ride 100
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 24/02/2026Finished a prelim version of the new magic circle maker arcanigen.thatrobhuman.com Best user experience is in chromium-based browsers because it turns out that firefox has a bug where you can't use anchor() as a fallback for another anchor() 121
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 29/01/2026neat! I'm slowly working on refactoring a node graph to use anchor positioning for connective lines and a bounding box: it's fun, innit? 210
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 12/12/2025my humble suggestion: the silos and ring on this guy are a wonderful feature, even if the overall form of the thing doesn't quite fit: 000
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 30/11/2025so, @tiredactor.bsky.social this happened on @freya.bsky.social's stream yesterday where she was talking about 3d model topology, and I'm sorry to say that I immediately thought of you... 010
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 27/11/2025I should actually try posting my stuff in places again.... Been having fun with a second AMS... 100
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 29/10/2025What Mango/Lychee tells its users about AI vs what the CEO tells everyone on linkedin... I hate it here. 110
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 06/06/2025feels good to have a dedicated spot for my printer, related tools, and filament... now I gotta make another one for the resin printer... 010
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 18/05/2025Andor-style lantern - with my own twist, converted from a thing I found on Amazon (still needs a weathering pass, but I'm waiting on Decals first). Link to 3d printed files are in the next comment. 120
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 28/04/2025So I made platforms with little pegs that I'd glue in that receives a coupling nut and has a set screw that keeps the gooseneck in place. 000
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 28/04/2025Tonight I started making a modification to Chris Borge's ball vise. Before, I had M8 threads in the little platforms next to the feet, but I found that with my gooseneck accessories that had power cords (lights, fans, etc), the cords would get all twisty and swapping them out ended up being a pain. 100
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 25/04/2025made some new bases for the helping hands so they fit into the fixture plate. I think the knurling is sorely missed, though. 000
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 24/04/2025unrelated, but just to show off a tad more :P - intersection observer watching that anchor-positioned element signals when you've scrolled off screen, and which direction its in: 100
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 24/04/2025I'm so thrilled that anchor positioning has become a thing. I've been rapidly replacing all my hand-rolled popovers with it. I've even found a way to fake a bounding box in a node editor using it. 210
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 24/04/2025I made some 3d-printable Toolmaker & Parallel Clamps. Toys for real machinists, sure, but I've already gotten great mileage out of them when doing small glue-ups of laser cuts. www.printables.com/model/127509... #3dprinting #making #crafting #toolmaking 010
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 29/03/2025Sure! >.< I know the model was built with underslung, backwards, D-style nacelles - so, why not? 200
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 28/03/2025still have these on my drive, too: just, fairly low poly. They work for minis, at least. 020
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 22/03/2025for as much crap as everyone gives Electron, I love that in 3 minutes I've got the beginnings of an application running, even if its just a splash page for now. (cc: @norsehound.bsky.social ) 110
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 24/11/2024Cut in half, as pictured, and dig out and discard the seeds. Plop a half-ish tablespoon of butter and some ('bout a spoonful?) brown sugar in each half, bake at 450F (230C) for about a half hour or until its soft. It's even its own bowl (you don't eat the skin :P) 220
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 21/11/2024I've no idea why everything I've been designing recently has related to work holding, but so it goes. shamelessly inspired by Omnifixo. (I'm still waiting on threaded balls for the feet). Despite being a #3dprint, its actually really nice, and it turns out a bit more flexible. 000
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 29/10/2024My brother is working on a Schoolie conversion, and heard of one of my (many) projects - in particular the fold-up high-density workshop system that I've been developing - as it happens, such a workshop would be ideal for a Schoolie: he gave me some ideas: 100
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 29/10/2024compared to mine, he's a veritable giant. still baby - all cats are baby... 000
Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 23/10/2024Todays functional print: www.printables.com/model/974751... first time printing with PETG - was minorly annoying, but got there in the end. 120
