Hi Guys, I have learnt some things about PFAS, get your none stick frypans and throw them in the bin!

If you get to WA Australia you will get the royal treatment

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich, I am hoping that I can do some modelling for the Aviation museum. They even have a genuine spitfire. If memory serve me well you were an Aviation Engineer

Good for you @l-i-am ! Taking care of our veterans should be a no-brainer.

Thanks so much mate

I am a ex firefighter and have had some issues with a chemical called PFAS which has amongst other things has cause 3 cancers 1 stroke and 2 x heart attacks which means I could not work for about 5 years which decimated my saving, and is one reason I have not kept up with SU and TM.

Things have turned around in a big way I just had a very large payout from the Government. The housing situation is out of control in this Country and out of reach for many even trying to get a place it is just unaffordable. Being a veteran I have just secured an Apartment in South Perth in a leafy street close to the Swan river.

It is a very high end suburb in one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. I will be paying about $280Australian dollars for an apartment worth 1 million dollars and the rent also includes utilities and is appointed with full furnishings. I am pinching myself ATM. It is a 2 bedroom apartment so I can set up am office in one of the rooms as an office to start with SU and TM. I am now retired will be volunteering for work at the Aviation Museum

I cannot believe my luck

For your service and 'injuries' received, you are more than due and hopefully that settlement will keep you well/safe.
That extended holiday, have a blast and make some good memories.

Yes thanks mate whilst in Thailand it will be a test to see if i will retire there and will make a trip to da nang in Vietnam to see if that might work.

Stay strong, brother. Talk often as you can, PM's available.

It sounds worse than it is mate, I am able, and going on an extended holiday to Moscow and Thailand to do a bit of diving. All my ailments have been treated very well. I am expecting a large 6 figure compensation payout in 5 days. So could be a lot worse

Hi Guys I have not been very active on this site as I have been unwell. As an Australian member of the Australian Armies engineer emergency response squadron I and others were exposed to a chemical called PFAS (the forever chemical) in industrial quantities. It is now known to cause many serious issues. I myself have had 3 cancers, 2 heart attacks. and a stroke amongst other conditions there is an E petition on the subject of PFAS exposure .I do not know how many Aussies are on this sight (besides Box) But I thought I would post a link to the Petition If you would consider signing it if you are an Australian citizen.

Thanks

what AI tool are you using?

This looks cool

Hi Guys I have not used sketchup in a long while. I have a project with is a large park pavilion with very complex materials and patterns. As I said it is very complex. I have attached the materials pallet. I have 3 approaches and sone questions

Could stable difusion be of any benefit and how could I control the materials if it was a usable method

I was thinking of doing the tiles with geometry and stick them on the face

Try to produce the materials myself but I have limitations of the resolution

Penny for your thoughts

Hi guys I posted because I know there are many "Makers' here. I love this idea.

It is an extremely cheap and can be built with very few skills. What excites me is that it is obviosley CNC manufactured so could also be manufactured with recycled with extruded plastic waste ...Win,WIN. For instance it could make plastic recycling for instance in India shelters could be built from waste plastic and at the end of life the house itself could be recycled to make mores houses. What a game changer this could be.

Awesome and near epic. Well done mate

Very good explanation Luke, thank you

Very nice indeed Luke. What advantages did UE have over TM that you found
