Mike's Marvellous Miscellanea! (And Documentary Review)

Brace yourself: Discord is coming! No really: this will be a very random post, but hopefully also an enjoyable one.

To start off, what you see above is a 3D-printed Twilight Sparkle, which I printed in ABS on a printer given to my college laboratory (The CollabLab) by Lulzbot; an awesome, very friendly 3D-printing company. The STL for this print was made by another brony (info here or here), and is meant to be printed without support material. There were some issues since I did not use a fan and I kept the bed temperature a little high to make certain the ABS would stick, but all considered it worked out well. And that brings me to the point of all this: very soon I will be making my own 3D printer, at which point I could produce printed ponies commercially. Of course I'd try to get a license or something from Hasbro, but when that's done, 3D printed merchandise could be this site's equivalent of WeLoveFine. But first I'd like to gage interest to see if it'd be worthwhile... So does anyone want 3D-Printed Ponies?

Continue after the break: this post's just getting started.

Keep Calm and Flutter On Episode Review

Now that the hiatus is over, Discord won't be the only one freed from his slumber.  The nice folks who compose the Blog(6+3) have decided to unfreeze me from their underground bunker so that I can give my humble opinion on the new, hearty helping of pony.  So how does it hold up?  Stay tuned to Discord's Domain to find out, and we'll be right back after the break.

I wonder how she doesn't run into everything with those glasses on...

In case the first music post earlier today didn't bore you, here's another one.
We got an enhanced version of ElectroKaplosion's Pony Waifu cover, now featuring Feather.
In the second slot there's a new Instrumental piece from Kyoga. Yesss...
Afterwards, we continue with yet another remix of Silva Hound's Hooves Up High. It's Drum'n'Bass. And surprise! You migth know the remixer under another name. It's Bull Smit.
The forth song is an interesting remix of Art of the Dress. Obviously done by one of our Japanese comrades, oodora.
In the fifth place, some Dubstep by VINXIS (who seems to adore caps lock) dedicated to Rarity... And Tom. It portrays their love-hate relationship with Wubs.
Then there's CarbonMaestro's Industrial Orchestral finale for his Pony Empires album. Great piece.
And lastly, something for Kyo. Delta Brony's crossover of Super Ponybeat's Discord with Touhou. That's what it says.

The Japanese characters there mean "Arrangement", btw. Thanks to Google Translate for that.
