How to 3D print nothing video

Watch on YouTube Discovering this trick was an exercise in “there’s no way this would work… oh, it does”. I’ve found that this sort of thing doesn’t always work the way you expect it, but when it does, Cura’s overlapping settings changes is one of the most powerful tools they have. You can even use a cutting mesh to say …

PrintABloks are getting even better Video

Watch on YouTube One thing that I didn’t mention in the video was that the PrintABlok hole got a small makeover, as well. The difference is that the ridges where the connector would snap in used to only be in the corners (since that’s the only part that really matters) and now they go along the whole length (which makes …

Well, there goes the neighborhood. Makerbot+Ultimaker Merger Reaction

Watch on YouTube In “Ozma of Oz”, L. Frank Baum’s follow up to The Wizard of Oz, he introduced a clockwork man name Tik-Tok. Tik-Tok had separate windings for thought, action, and speech.

Can you sell 3D prints video

Watch on YouTube Not much to say about this video. It pretty much speaks for itself and I don’t have anything to add. So let me tell you about a few of the side projects I’ve been working on. To call things lately “crazy” wouldn’t do justice to the life I’m living right now. I’ve got at least 4 simultaneous …

Open Letter to GooFoo and the future of 3D printing

GooFoo, you are on the cusp of greatness. You are teetering on the edge of something amazing here. And with the slightest bit of effort you’ll be able to provide the world what it wants and needs.

Goofoo Cube Review

Watch on YouTube The story I wanted to tell in the video was more focused on the people who may have backed this 3D printer, potential new comers to 3D printing, and how they might be accepted by the community that’s already here. In choosing this focus I had to put aside some of my more petty complaints about this …

Have you contacted Support? Video

Watch Video This video I recorded before the last 2 videos, but it got shuffled till now because I thought the Laser Pog had more people interested in it and the Tiki situation was just topical. And while those videos were urgent, I feel this video is more important and will probably have a longer life. At least that’s what …
