    Abstract: A method of operating a sublimating device includes providing heat to a cavity of the sublimating device by increasing (i) a temperature of a heater to a predetermined target temperature and (ii) a temperature of a base heater to a predetermined standby temperature. The method further includes determining a difference between the predetermined target temperature and a reduced temperature of the heater. The method also includes determining whether a workpiece is arranged in the cavity based on the difference between the predetermined target temperature and a reduced temperature.

    Abstract: A crafting support system is disclosed. The crafting support system is configured to receive a crafting apparatus. The crafting support system includes a proximal portion and a distal portion removably connected to the proximal portion. Each of the proximal portion and the distal portion includes a support rod and at least one support pad connected to the support rod. A first portion of the support rod of each of the proximal portion and the distal portion is axially offset from a second portion of the support rod of each of the proximal portion and the distal portion for forming a well that is sized for receiving the crafting apparatus. An assembly including the crafting support system and the crafting apparatus is also disclosed.
