everyone already knows i'm a dog

the swift programming language is my fault to some degree. mostly here to see dogs, shitpost, fix old computers, and/or talk about math and weird computer programming things. for effortposts check the #longpost pinned tag. asks are open.

It is so close to working, I can't wait for rev 2

Also, notice the attached photo isn't the comic sans ball, it's the other test football I made! It's the Cherokee syllabary; I stayed as true as possible to the Microsoft keyboard layout but had to take some liberties.

The original Comic Sans Typewriter is the Sincerity Machine by Jesse England and I love it dearly: http://jesseengland.net/project/sincerity-machine-the-comic-sans-typewriter/

It wasn't easy! There's an existing attempt on Thingiverse that is maybe 75% of the way there, but getting those drafted angles on the letterforms turned out to be MUCH HARDER than expected. I can understand why no one's done DIY typeballs yet!

I'll have an open-source version out soon, I hope, but it does require you to have python, the pymeshlab library, and a relatively recent nightly build of OpenSCAD, so I understand that's asking a lot of users, hah! There might be a way to do it all in python, but I had some issues with Cadquery text extrusions that I just haven't had time to delve into yet!
