Putting out a call to Star Trek fans here on Mastodon.

@temptoetiam @lockelyfox ah crap, I fell for it

@pseudonym @lockelyfox Picard when the mug fell.

@joelvanderwerf @lockelyfox

His tea spilled, his mug cracked.

@lockelyfox
Alternatively find a Kintsugi artist to repair it with gold veins in the traditional manner?

[charliemac@mastodon.social]

@lockelyfox @ohir kintsugi repair would be pretty neat, I bet. A little battle damage version... or one of the alien beings that tend to infect the main computers?

[kaced@infosec.exchange]

@lockelyfox I’ve only just now learned it exists, and I’m sorry, but you should know that I’m jealous you ever had it

[sirchrism@mastodon.social]

@lockelyfox Now you know for sure that your cat is a Star Wars' fan.

[chrokaki@mastodon.social]

@lockelyfox

Ah, what a shame! And now I really want one as well!!!

[theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social]

@lockelyfox looks like kintsugi time to me! Not sure what to use in place of gold, but this is legitimately the perfect case, repairing ceramics that you can't replace.

@lockelyfox I know it won’t have the same feel as your favourite mug, but we got these and love them: https://www.masterreplicas.com/en-us/products/the-picard-tea-cup-set-1

@colingourlay
A friend of mine bought me a set of these back in like 2018 and, kid you not, the bottom straight up detached from two separate cups pouring hot tea into them.

[colingourlay@bne.social]

@lockelyfox holy shit. I think they may have cracked () the build quality since then, but that’s wild. Boiling water is no joke!!

@lockelyfox

It won't be exact, but you can use this image and use a print on demand site eg.

[lockelyfox@meow.social]

@eiranix That's actually really useful. Did you make this??? It won't have the color changing ink, but overall it would serve as a worthy replacement.

Here's a few more shots of it.

@eiranix

[eiranix@mas.to]

@lockelyfox Yeah, it's a cool mug, so I thought I could spread some joy by remaking the design :]

And yes I saw those photos online, its annoying me that none of them show the very middle bit! But I updated the image to add what looks like might be there.

[eiranix@mas.to]

@lockelyfox Oh excellent, I updated my original post again, so it should be pretty close now :]

[lockelyfox@meow.social]

@eiranix thank you so much

[eiranix@mas.to]

@lockelyfox If you do get one printed, you'll have to post a photo of how it comes out. I might get one too!

[ikuo1000@mas.to]

@eiranix @lockelyfox Wow, this is such an amazingly kind, generous, thoughtful thing to do!!! ️ Thank you for being you & using your talents to bring joy to others!!

(I once asked a graphic design friend for advice on how to get an image created. He just went ahead & made it for me & I was moved by his kindness! Until he made it clear he thought I had asked him for free work & said he made a huge exception for me because I can't afford his services. So I get how valuable your efforts are.)
