Heads up: Maybe just link to Emily’s video rather than an article about it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt1kS52V3MM
And yeah. Emily The Engineer is increasingly the (number two) youtuber I wish would have a second channel to do deep dives into the actual engineering behind these projects (nothing beats Shane at Stuff Made Here). There are just so many factors as to how this even works and I would love a deep dive on what was done to actually compensate for the… curvature of flesh? I feel real dirty now…
But yeah. Her videos have kind of hit that sweet spot of “completely unhinged” and “really really cool from a design and engineering standpoint”.
High-finctioning ADHD maybe? I loved her life size benchy video.
Emily is my favorite. She’s got some really fun original ideas, and watching her videos perfectly captures that “it works!” feeling when you’re working on something that really shouldn’t work.
She’s almost a female version of Michael Reeves. Less chaotic and more legal, but I still enjoy her videos. I agree with the other comment that a second more technical channel would be interesting.
Ah emily the engineer. Cool person
I’m a bit surprised that the thigh bubbling up in the frame didn’t cause any z-axis issues. Probably benefitted from being a small tattoo.
Honestly, I’m slightly surprised ‘tattoo printers’ haven’t become a thing for those little ‘formulaic’ tattoos. (Stars, hearts, bird silhouettes, etc.) People love getting inked up and I could see it making those sorts of tattoos absurdly fast, albeit probably much more intensely painful due to the speed.
