I have this weird thing about the projects I do. If it’s gonna go somewhere, I can’t stop doing it. But if I’m gonna hit a wall, it’s like my brain is in a stupor whenever I work on it. Is that because the spirit of the Lord whispers to me what is and isn’t going to work, or is it a self fulfilling prophecy? Say what you want, but I’m gonna go with the first, because I hear the Holy Ghost likes when he gets credit, and I want it to keep happening. Either way, GIB bricks has been an example of a project that I kept trying to do something with, had just felt a slog every time I tried to, before ultimately discovering something better, as well as realizing the original project wasn’t worth it.
And for the record, I’m finding it hard to stop working on PrintABloks. Even putting aside my modeling efforts in order to work on the kickstarter and this video, my brain is still working on ideas to try when I can let myself model again. When this kickstarter begins I am going to have no problem modeling accessories every day until the end.
When uploading a video to YouTube, for those who are not familiar, it automatically picks a couple of frames to be potential thumbnails, and then allows you to choose one or upload your own. It’s not often that the frames align as well as they did this time.
Yeah, I could have gone with that one.
I cut out a bit in the video where i was talking about ideas for 3D printing legos that I still want to pursue. Things like dialing in the accuracy on a printer, then 3D printing a whole set necessary for making a famous lego set, like the Millennium Falcon. Though, honestly, I’d probably do one of the newer, smaller sets than the famously big and involved one. That’s hard enough to do without the added step of running a 3D printer for days. And that would be way easier with a reliable printer with an auto-ejection mechanism. But since that does not exist yet, let’s not be silly.
