Watch Video I am attending the LA Makerfair on April 6th and the Rocky Mountain Rep Rap festival on April 20th. At these events I want to take some of the 3D printers I have, 3D printers that I’ve held on to but not used for far too long, and put them into loving home where they will get the …
Watch on YouTube Sign up for the Mailing List so you don’t miss PrintABlok: Skyforce! I hope my hair is better before I get to Goshen.I’ve actually been working on PrintABlok Skyforce models for months. I want to get a jump on the campaign so you have a lot to look forward to. But modeling greebles is time consuming. They …
You may be wondering why I didn’t post this at the end of Day 2 of the Midwest Reprap Festival, like I did the last MRRF post. There are a couple of good reasons. First of all, day 2 of MRRF doesn’t end until midnight. Then, when it finally did end, I had a couple of hours of sleep and …
Watch on YouTube This was one of the only times I actually took the thumbnail at the same time as I recorded the video. But I had to do that because I made this whole prop box for this video and wanted to use it in the thumbnail. The print didn’t turn out perfect, if I’m being honest. I had …
Watch on Youtube I still hear a lot that “Blender isn’t CAD”. Well, hopefully this video can be another nail in that particular coffin. I admittedly have worked quite a bit more on my PrintABlok desktop organizers, as can be seen in the thumbnail. But there are still a number of ones I want to finish before releasing. But that …
Watch on YouTube This is another one of those videos that came about because a review went south. The printer that Polo Cloud was made for is actually a good printer. But the app is so bad that this was the only thing I could do with it. A message of warning to others and hope for the future. PrintABlok …
Watch on YouTube And of course the day I’m editing this I hear about 3 other fairs I’d like to go to. ERRF announced that they were going to announce a date. MRRF announced they’re going to be June 23-25. The Sanjay Reprap Festival in the UK announced December 2nd and 3rd. That one is less likely, but still. And …
TL;DR: Now that this kickstarter is done, instead of prepping for another kickstarter in a year or less, I will be developing further PrintABlok sets for my Patreon backers on a monthly basis. Sign up there to get future PrintABlok sets. But more on that later. EDIT: I decided to go ahead and try to gather some data to answer …
Watch on YouTube Tinker, hacker, maker, engineer. Where do you fit? I’ve made a consious decision not to adjust my content to include topics related to current events, pervasive as that may be for everyone. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say about the current situation. But my instinct (bad instinct, as it may be) is when everyone …
Watch on YouTube I used this video to test a new technique of layering a chroma keyed PowerPoint over my video, which itself is chroma keyed over a static image, all layered in real time. The result was, I think successful, without much frame drop, but I don’t think I could do all that while using Blender. And it is …
