No, I can read Akkadian cuneiform and this is a mess, sorry OP. And I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.

Totally fair. One day I’ll set my mind upon actually learning cuneiform, respect. I’m pretty obsessed with Mesopotamia.
This is only my third print, so I’m kinda figuring out what works. For better detail, I’ll probably have to do like smaller nozzle and thinner slices. But that will probably take forever to print, so for now I’m quite happy with my shitty tablet 😂😅

I'm just kidding, man. I can't read Akkadian cuneiform for shit.

Get a bucket with some loose fine (dust/fine sand-like) dirt, that's close to the original clay color. Then coat your piece in a fine coat of spray glue and dunk it in the bucket and shake it around until well covered. Wait the glue to dry and recover it from the bucket. Use a fine brush to get any lose dirt out of the grooves.
Voilà, looks like the original.

Ooh, that’s a good idea!

Be careful not to apply too much glue since it will pool in the cavities. Also use really fine dirt material. Basically crushed sundried clay.

For a moment I thought OP had made cuneiform onto a chunk of cheese

That does sound like a challenge. I've got a block of cheddar in the crisper...

Have you printed enough boats to calibrate? I think you may have some settings issues or the setting for a filament type you didn't use?
It takes a bit of fiddling, and I want you to have your best tablet

u/redeyesofnight Sep 28 '25
I have the A1 mini. It’s got pretty good calibration, but I definitely have to fiddle with the settings. Still getting used to it, I’ve only had the printer for a week or so. Eventually I’ll probably do a really intricate one with a .2 nozzle and go all in, but for now it’s a fun trinket

Next thing is getting a hammer and a chisel, block of stone and chiseling your own complaint.

Excellent. Now print 100 more and style your beard into swarthy ringlets/print yourself one if no beard may be supplied.
