Trying to turn a sprite into a 3d printable pin. Imported with ImportPixelArt Extension, manifolding /w print toolbox doesn't work - parts disappear!

First post, still a blender noob. apologies. I don't have a multicolor 3d printer, so I am making seperate blender files for different pieces. The file in pic is the pin's base, which is why it has parts jutting up. I intend to glue the other pieces into those holes. Just one problem. The moment I try to manifold the base, a bunch of random parts disappear. See upper pic. How do I fix this? I also use mesh repair & made sure to ctrl+j the whole thing if that narrows things down. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm a rare case of an AUDHD girl being dxed as a kid, can't shake off accusations of being inconsiderate.

It's an accusation I've gotten since I was a teen. My family is otherwise perfectly understanding & accommodating. I was diagnosed as a kid, thanks to the insistence of my mom, who is most likely ND herself. I never tried to be "normal". My goal instead was to try to get along with & understand others as best I can. BC of this advice from other autistic folks often doesn't help much as it assumes that I was dxed late & mask heavily.

Now 20 & learning how to be a functional adult. My own parents admit I was sheltered too long due to baggage back in middle school. I was never made to do chores as a kid, buy others birthday presents, etc. Until now. I have a bad case of executive dysfunction, but am otherwise low support. I help with things when asked & am looking to volunteer around town. I'm never intentionally mean, I have a strong sense of social justice, & I love learning about psychology/history, & writing stories, esp characters different then me. These hobbies help me understand other POVs. I have weird cognitive empathy (understanding how others are feeling) I might not know WHY they're upset, but I can tell that they generally are & I want to help. How can I be more considerate in a way that others can recognize?

How to attach scale chainmail to denim jacket?

I've seen a few people on this sub with chainmail on their jackets and I was wondering how you guys attached yours? I was originally thinking of 3D printing it but considering the crazy heat swings in Canada I don't think that's a good idea. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Best friend moving to another country. How to keep in touch?

I have a wonderful little friend group of 3 (We're all Autistic. I've dubbed us the Tism Trio.) & we have a private group chat together. I'll call the others R & W. We met in HS. R still lives nearby but W is 2 years older than us & is moving to another country due to retiring parents. Also going to college there.

My pals mean so much to me. We vibe so well & I want to make sure we all stay in touch. We love to play games online together, including moving our D&D sessions online & even recently found a fourth member from abroad. Any fun things you guys like to do with long distance pals, game reccs or tips for staying in touch? Thanks everyone!

My first homemade patch!

Right to repair, as it's something I feel very strongly about. The 2 wrenches are meant to resemble crossed swords. That's why I'm into 3D printing. Mine's secondhand & I like being able to make & repair things. It's actually pretty anti-consumerist in that regard. Shame that most of the discussion focuses on Ai slop models over replacement parts.

Bonus question: I was thinking of making a patch of some rainbow dragon scale chain mail for my jacket. What would be the best way to pull that off?

Constantly fumbling starting knots when you have clumsy hands?

I have a lifelong case of butterfingers & have trouble copying fluid hand movements. IDK why I'm like that. Because of that I find diagrams to be 100x more helpful than videos or photos.

I keep fumbling tying a knot at the start, the one I was taught is where you wrap it around your finger? I can't find a name for it.

I don't care about my knots looking pretty. I just want to be able to tie them consistently and for them to stay on. Anyone have any tips? Please help 😓

Edit: specifically hand sewing. I'm able to sew the rest of a project fine, I just have trouble tying the starting knot.

Why did Mojang break the ability to join your friend's personal worlds in Java?

The timing could not possibly be worse for me and my friend group. One of my best friends is moving abroad and we were super excited for this upcoming feature so we could share our worlds with each other and play in them together from afar rather than having to build everything from scratch in a dull realm.

But now the feature is missing from the latest version and unusable in the snapshot.

Info on this subject is super hard to find, let alone a reason. Like I said, WORST. POSSIBLE. TIMING. I'm genuinely livid. Why wouldn't Mojang would have the courtesy to explain this? Uncool.

If anyone in this sub knows any info at all about why joining your friend's worlds was seemingly canceled please let me know. I'm trying to be civil & don't mean to be rude, I'm just frustrated.

As an apology for my ranting please enjoy a pic of my early Minecraft relics. The Creeper Collecter fig is named Beep. It was from my best friend who let me take it home for free as it hadn't sold in a garage sale. The old Creeper plush is Moss. Moss is official, though its tag had to be cut due to already being badly damaged when I found it at a thrift store. Still cute though.

I found a broken Thumpback head in a liquidation store bin..

DISCLAIMER: This Thumpback head was broken when I found it. I would never do this to a skylander under any other circumstances.

I found a broken Thumpback head in the bottom of a liquidation store bin. The rest of the figure was long gone. I was always gentle with mine & still have them all in perfect shape, so I'd never seen a damaged fig before, let alone one this destroyed.

I'm very sentimental and felt bad for it so I wanted to turn it into something beautiful. So I made it into a cursed bracelet.

What have I done to my music player?!

I use the loveberry Win98 music player, albeit with the shading removed so I can easily customize for multiple pages. It looks and functions as its supposed to on the chrome dev tools and codepen. But the moment I copied to neocities it broke into pieces. I'm genuinely stumped plz help o-o

Here's my codepen:

https://codepen.io/Hannah-Crewe/pen/xbOYJoB

The code from codepen was copied directly onto neocities with no changes.

I haggled a skylanders lot a few years back to let me take just this Barkley. Both him and the seller looked rather stumped, and he's a tiny tree guy, hence his nickname Stumpy. Unfortunately, his og chip is long dead, to the point I don't even know which barkley version he is. After making an earlier post here I realized it was too risky to cut into his base to try and replace the chip and potentially damage him, as figures after Giants are very rare in my area.

But I was determined to bring Stumpy back to life, so I had an idea. I got him an NFC coin to act as a replacement for his original chip. Simply place it under him on the portal and he's a functional skylander again! He might not work on his own anymore, but the way I see it the figure will always be the true Stumpy. He just needs a bit of extra help to get back to skylands, which is why i dubbed this concept a Revival Coin. Shared this as I haven't seen anyone else use this method and thought it might help others with dead chip skylanders.

I haven't gotten this attached to a skylander figure since I was a kid. I was frantically texting my friends and cheering aloud when i saw on the tv that it worked. He might need his coin to work but I wouldn't trade him for another barkley. He's my wonky little guy, and one of my favorite skylanders now.

LONG LIVE STUMPY!
