Thank you, kind stranger!

This made my eye twitch

That’s a fire hazard (in case you weren’t already considering it)

Damn, I didn’t know what had happened to her. I really liked her content.

Wireframe 3D graphics like this did exist in 1983. It’s why it’s a visual aesthetic of that time period; it was the cutting edge of technology. The glow effect could be accomplished at that time by printing the rendered wireframe on a transparent sheet, then backlighting it and photographing it. That’s how they did the glowing effects in each frame of footage in the original TRON, which also showcases cutting edge 3D graphics from this time period.

OpenSCAD is definitely easier, and I still like it too. I started learning build123d because I wanted fillets and splines, and because you can reference the properties of an existing object (like height) when making another object. Those have always been big drawbacks of openscad for me.

If you know how to program, build123d is a FOSS option that isn’t FreeCAD! You can create objects directly from Python code, including fillets and chamfers! I’ve been playing around with it a lot and while there’s definitely a learning curve, it’s pretty powerful! There’s a VS Code addon that allows you to visualize what you’re working on and visually debug as well. I can do a lot of things I couldn’t do in OpenSCAD (which is another easier code cad option).

I wish to be the clown

This is the route I ultimately took and it has worked out well for me. Most of the multi-packs I found had individual rolls that were too short to really be practical. I considered buying two packs, but with a lot of brands there will be some variability between two rolls of the same color which means you can’t switch mid-print. I ultimately found a pack with rolls that were twice the typical length and that has worked out well. The one I bought was Mika 3d brand on Amazon.

I wanted one of those so bad as a kid. Unfortunately if you’re in the US, all TV was required to switch to digital only in the 2000s, so it won’t be able to pick up any modern stations. You could always buy a cheap analog video transmitter to go with it though!
