What does the Tiki Man mean for the rest of us?

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 …

Bringing Back Pogs with the Maker Pi P3 Pro

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 am not an orginized person – a PrintABloks rant

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 …

Six Fingered Light Saber Project

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 …

How I invented PrintABlok

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 …

Weedo X40 – Laugh if you want, but it works!

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 …

Halot One Review Video

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 …

Hacking the CR30 to print in layers Video

Watch on YouTube For those wondering where the scale factor came from of “About 1.4” or more precisely 1.4142, all you do is remember what you learned in trig, draw a right angle triangle with an angle of 45 degrees, set the hypotenuse to one, and to find the opposite angle use the cosine function (though at a 45 degree …

Thingiverse leak, Thangs answers, and Prusa Printers

Watch on YouTube It took me dozens of takes over 3 evenings to get this single take video done right. All because I didn’t want to edit it. But had I been willing to edit it, I probably could have recorded the talking in one session, and the web page background in another, edit them together real quick, and been …

What does “Safety First” Mean? Video

Watch on YouTube I think I want a poster that says “Learn, Look, Be Aware”. Maybe I should make one with the laser cutter. The seed for this video was the fact that I got the AtomStack A5 pro at about the same time that Twitter was voicing strong opinions about open frame laser cutters and the perceived danger of …
