Got ever so slightly bored, and it just so happens I recently purchased my first ever hot glue gun.

So, naturally, I had to give analogue 3D printing a go :D Tis wonky, but now I got me a GooCube.

@MJBlacke those guns are dangerous!! (aren't all of them?)

Last Xmas I was gift-wrapping and I ran out of tape. I borrowed my mom's hot glue gun and felt like I was going to be without fingerprints forever! D:

@eloisa Bah, I used to cast metal for jewellery. I've got scars on my hands from molds full of molten pewter popping open, I can handle a little warm glue 😄

Haven't burned myself yet on the glue tho; came close, dropped the gun at one point and almost caught it by the burny end 😱

@MJBlacke ohh, maybe you'll be fine, then. I'm very sensitive to hot stuff.

And damn, you did all of that without burning yourself? NICE!

I'd be in E.R. after that, lil clumsy ole me.

@eloisa Heh, I guess I just do a lot of fiddly stuff. I've burned, slashed, stabbed, scraped and bashed my hands so often that I work slow and careful now 😅 Some days I'm surprised I'm not missing a finger or two.

Seriously, I've bled for my art more than once, and most of it wasn't even good art. All part of learning I guess :3
