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. And if you don’t, you may only have provided the blueprint for someone else to do it better. I’m worried that if certain …
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 …
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 …
Watch Video I really thought there were more videos where I’ve talked about copyright, creative commons, and other things, but darned if I can find more than 2 right now. If I find more, I’ll add them to the playlist. (I found a few more.) One thing I didn’t mention is that if you’re copying or even inspired by someone …
Watch on YouTube If you want to talk about Pogs, come to my discord or let’s hang out on twitter. I have some ideas about that the Pog stuff. But this post is going to be all about the P3. If you were paying attention to the video, you might have noticed that the Maker Pi P3 Pro didn’t get …
I’ve got a bit of a confession. When it comes to keeping PrintABloks organized I am totally making it up as I go. Back with the Mechs kickstarter, I started a separate Blender file as a “Check out all that you get” render. Then, just before the Beasts kickstarter I came up with the idea of making “plates” of PrintABlok …
Watch on YouTube Thing that didn’t make the cut in this video: I originally was going to put a charging circuit into the handle so I could charge the batteries with a plug that was simple to reach from the outside, or so that I could run it while it was plugged in. Unfortunately, it looks like that circuit wouldn’t …
Watch on YouTube And thus kicks off a month of PrintABlok content… uh… hopefully. If I can keep focused. I recorded this in December, and have been sitting on it, hoping to drum up some interest PrintABlok ahead of [drumroll] the next kickstarter! I’ve been wanting to continue working on PrintABlok for a while, and I have in fact been …
Watch on YouTube Some times some aspects of the experience of testing a 3D printer gets edited out to tell the story you want to. And the story I wanted to tell was “rough but it works”. However, there was also the “not for noobs” angle I could have taken. As seen on twitter, the unboxing instructions were incomplete, and …
Watch on YouTube You may have noticed my Halot One is a bit… grubby. Chalk that up to my lack of experience with the technology. Some of it, like the schmutz on the cover, I think came from some over enthusiastic peeling form the film. But, most of it came with the FEP sprung a lead and ended up leaking …
