/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Yes, that's the practical way. But asking a machinist to do this? Just don't.
A textile geek could have this back to you before lunch using stuff found in the scrap pile.
And looking closely at it, that's exactly how it was made.
Yep. But asking for this in metal is bonkers. You'd need both the textile geek and a machinist to collab closely. And they would both need a deep Trek knowledge/appreciation. To remake this with metal would be just the project of a millionaire with a deep love of all things Trek.
Material Arts and Design is a conglomeration of many disciplines. Often textiles, jewelry, ceramics, sometimes glass blowing and furniture making. You are way over thinking this. This would be a fun colab. They're not even regular hexagons. They look like they were made with felt sheets.
I don't think I am wrong here. The irregularity is what makes it difficult. Don't even think about specific units here; 2x2x2x2x2x2 is easy. 1.9x2.4x3x2x3.5x2x is difficult.
You're trying to use a big, high tech machine to make it. I'm talking about using a coping saw. Quite different approaches.
I'm not a machinist and the thought of making hexagons on a lathe makes me cry.
You wouldn't do that on a lathe. You would use a mill.
