So, to illustrate why you might not want to suggest Bambu labs 3D …
3D Builder Alternatives now that Microsoft is killing 3D Printing
Watch on YouTube Big thanks to SlicePrintRoleplay for making an installer available to the community. It seems that Microsoft’s distain for 3D printing is deeper than initially thought. If you missed your chance to get 3D Builder, don’t despair, there are a few alternatives you can still use. I still have no idea what Microsoft’s endgame is here. Why buy …
3D Builder is being buried by Microsoft
Watch on YouTube Download and install 3D Builder now before it’s gone: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj3t6?hl=en-us&gl=PH Why has the best 3D printing tool ever been removed from the Microsoft store?

Best Survival 3D Printer

X-Maker Joy Review
Watch on YouTube One thing I didn’t mention in the video is my desire to have AOSEeed make their app available to people with non-AOSeed 3D printers. I think if they gave their app the ability to export STLs, in addition to sending them directly to their X-Maker 3D printers, they’d get 100x the users, which would translate to an …
3D Printing Fails – Color Mixing
Watch on YouTube Did I really throw that 3D printer into a fire? Yes I did. How did I get the fire to light that way? I wish I could say that was just the effect of living in a dry climate, but there might have been an accelerant at play, the application of which was edited out of the …
How to avoid a scam 3D Designer
Watch on YouTube I kid you not, no sooner had I finished editing this video that another one contacted me on facebook. It took me all of 2 seconds to image search their supposed portfolio pieces in their profile to lay bare their fraud. I considered sending them the link to this video, but I realized the point wasn’t to …
Creality and Jackery review video
Watch on YouTube I don’t think I’ve ever done a video like this. Usually when reviewing equipment I just use the equipment, maybe record some B-Roll while I’m working on it, and then sit in my shed and talk about it. But this time I decided to record the video while working on it. Part of the reason is I …
3D Printing in the Wilderness
Watch on YouTube Betcha didn’t expect a stealth lesson about the Engineering process, did ya? I wanted to provide the files for the arm mounted 3D printer project, but unfortunately the specific battery backup I used is no longer available, meaning any attempt at it would involve a redesign of at least half of it. So as much as I’d …
