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

[darth_hideout@mas.to]

@lockelyfox

Maybe it's been suggested, but maybe someone with a 3d printer could replicate that & ship it to you.

[lockelyfox@meow.social]

@darth_hideout

3D Printing isn't great for drinkware because it prints in layers and you can end up getting moisture between the layers which turns into bacteria and mold.

[peribotsarah@babka.social]

@lockelyfox @darth_hideout YES SEAL THAT.

[fixato@toot.cat]

@lockelyfox it's not the same, and it's not thermally activated either unfortunately, but perhaps it's a close enough alternative: https://www.amazon.co.uk/getDigital-Earl-Grey-Mug/dp/B06XYD4XC4
Only seems to ship to the UK though.

But I'll boost your post in hopes a #StarTrek fan in my circles has the one you had, and is willing to beam it over.

[wandrecanada@mastodon.social]

@lockelyfox Holy crap I want one now...

[pawv@tech.lgbt]

@lockelyfox oh damn, my wife needs this... They just don't know it yet.

[pawv@tech.lgbt]

@temptoetiam @lockelyfox ah crap, I fell for it

[joelvanderwerf@mastodon.social]

@pseudonym @lockelyfox Picard when the mug fell.

@joelvanderwerf @lockelyfox

His tea spilled, his mug cracked.

[denofearth@mas.to]

@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.

[colingourlay@bne.social]

@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

[lockelyfox@meow.social]

@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!!

[eiranix@mas.to]

@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.
