I mean there would be a base thickness of the model in general and for example increase thickness in different pie sections based on say average temp or rain fall.

I want to be precise even if it might not be noticeable with a 3D printer's level of detail. Would it not be visually noticeable to see the Earth closer to the sun in the N hemis winter?

I would like to create a 3D printable model of the earth's orbit around the sun and slice it into the months of the year. So basically a calendar. Except I wanted to add heights for relative local weather conditions for a given year. Does anyone know the best way to draw our orbit?

The tracker site never updated heat shield temps. :(

It shows me this which is weird and skewed. I would love to see a video of their position along actual path combined with live feed outside the ship.

That doesn't map out location in space.

I was wondering if there is live data from Artemis 2 for the public? Like location in space beyond distance from earth? I would love to see a live path of travel. Hoping Universe Sandbox creates a simulation of the trip after they return.

But another person or people at different angles wouldn't see the object accordingly at their angle. I'm just wondering the current state of volumetric holograms.

Stereoscopy is basically still only one side of an object.

This Voxon technology looks pretty cool. But I'd love to create 3D holograms for 3D models so I don't need to manufacture into physical objects in order to show them. Does anyone have predictions of when this might become more commercial? And what keeps the resolution so low? Still in proof of...

Just a cheap green laser pen about 2cm diameter. Less the 5mm laser beam. Roughly 8mm diameter Powell lens.

Chatgpt is the first place I went when asking about lenses. YouTube helped more.

I have basic tools. I worry just sticking laser to lens might make it harder to make adjustments. I think the light needs to hit it exactly right to get it to fan out. At least that's my sense from holding them in hand to line them up.

The lens has like 3mm diameter so the holder would need to be tiny. Ideally would like something that can be secured to a camera tripod thread. I have a 2 camera bar that can hold two cameras. I was thinking one could hold the lens, and the other a claw grip holding the laser pen.

Only using laser point and definitely pointing away.
