Yeah it can… but it’ll be at 1 frame per hour lol

Judging by the clock up top, each frame takes 35 minutes… almost two frames per hour!

Pretty sure scientists found a single cell can play DOOM at 1 FPS if they tweak it enough.

1 FP whenever the artist feels like it

It’s written on the card.

I could try different shading patterns for colors… but yeah, just writing it might work better.

Probably 1 frame every 30-90 minutes, depends on the artist’s speed

But how to reset it safely without overheating? Turning it into a single-line drawing of DOOM could be tricky.

Use a 3D printer slicer or laser cutter!
