At the moment there are some significant limitations to the material I use when it comes to larger devices, and the materials I would likely use for larger devices have their own issues. One of the biggest issues for most materials is actually water absorption and saturation. Some of the toughest resins turn to rubber when exposed to water long enough. It makes encapsulation of larger devices for permanent implantation difficult.
Of course it could be explored, and I would totally walk down this path with you, but my creative spurts here in the lab were really just a matter of shaking off the cobwebs and flexing those creative muscles one last time before deep diving into the next product development cycle. This next one is a big deal and I won’t be doing much of anything else for a while, particularly in the lab. These things I posted here were things I tinkered on here and there for a while and these are the results, of which I’m still not sure will make it on to The Lab product page or not.
definitely not a waste of time… just need to prioritize. I put some notes together on other encapsulation ideas to follow up on when I have a chuck of “creative time” available to me.
Yep - to be honest, I don’t know what glowy stuff exactly is in my implant… when it was outside of my body, I could see a faint layer of non-glowing silicone around the whole implant, so the glowy stuff is not in direct contact with my body. I guess it might just be silicone mixed with glowpowder? Got no clue
I must admit I want one too - and goodness knows I’m not normally attracted to cosmetic stuff. But the volume of it puts me off. I’d really want anything I implant to be invisible in normal conditions, and that thing sticks out like a nun in a whorehouse.
Having said that, I have a friggin’ hole in my arm now. So joke’s on me…
I know what you’re talking about… I want some more glowing implants as well, but the stars are too flat (for where I want them), so… well. My artist is contacting him for some custom work, but this might take ages
Hm, maybe the flat little stars would be ideal for you - I can’t use them, simply because they would be invisible, for they are too flat. They would be visible on ears, fingers or face only, I suppose, on every other part of the body, the skin would be too thick. But they should still be visible when glowing.
Well let me think about it. I actually have another idea that’s more technical and a lot more luminous. But I’m waiting for some test samples I can put in a frozen chicken to validate the idea before asking Amal if he can turn it into a magic DT goop implant.
