Well, that would have to be CNC-ed..   Which I can also do,  buhhh, I might piss off the professor if I gum up the machine with that stuff..

This is the start of Jurassic World 2

This is what happens when first world and third world problems collide.

future scientists use mosquito in keycap to clone tp4?

Ok, but the comparison is a bit unfair.

I've been to many wealthy Murica ' suburbs that had  mucho mosquitos

Can you print me things?

Can you print me things?

I'm still tweaking the precision.

The problem is, it's a slow printer, I barely have enough time to do the official stuff

You're clearly dodging the question.
You don't want me to reveal your secret project in China right ?

Now I want a DNA mosquito keycap.

Now I want a DNA mosquito keycap.

I had the idea a while back of casting insects in resin as an idea for artisans - was going to do small butterflies and moths

Unfortunately the laws about exporting insects out of Australia are quite strict and I don't think I would be able to send them internationally

Do you think a dead bug encased in resin would have raised flags?

Hmm don't know to be honest (not sure if /s)

There shouldn't really be anything wrong with it but it would be a real shame to go through all the work of making for them to be seized at the border

I don't think it would raise flags.  However the problem is, how do we pour the resin such that the bug is encased in a "dignified" position.


Like, if it's a mosquito,  We'd like it to have wings spread, legs dangling,  -about to pounce-


I think it's quite easy to do this with thicker bugs with tough exoskeletons,  but mosquitos are extremely fragile and soft should we attempt this..
