Thanks Curt, I'll have a look at it! For the moment I just got the 1000m hand working...

Nice. I‘m mostly interested in web tech/html/js, so I‘ll probably stick with web apps. Using global elevation data is a good idea though.

«The Moon Machine» hiess das Referat, das ich am 15th International Illustration Research Symposium an der Koç-Universität in #Istanbul gehalten habe. In der Hauptrolle: mein 3D-druckbarer #OpenData-Mondrechner #Meton und seine historischen, archäologischen und astronomischen Hintergründe.
Und wer selbst einen Mondrechner braucht: Nur zu! https://www.thomasweibel.ch/?post=rechner-aus-dem-drucker

"Glue?" - yes, but only between axle and 35.stl (the end of the axle must freely turn in the hole of closer.stl). "No glue?" - no, not between the axles, but yes, you should glue 19.stl to wheel.stl. And as to black and white: I suggest you print scale.stl, disk.stl (please note: you need two of them) and pointer.stl in white (see photo, PETG is better than PLA), so you don't have to paint anything white.

Kann man Betreiber von Klimaanlagen eigentlich wegen eventualvorsätzlicher Körperverletzung verklagen?

„Guten Tag. Ich hätte gern einen originellen Namen für meinen Frisörsalon. Aber nichts Englisches.“
„Hairlich?“
„Perfekt.“
