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.

In my haste to make this video, though, I might have skipped a few critiques I had prepared. Like how they’re trying to make 16 sample rolls of filament for $20 sound …

Watch on YouTube Before deciding on the “Shark with a freaking laser” angle for the intro, I was going to take a potato peeler, duct tape it to the side of this machine, and claim I had a 5-in-1 that could 3D print in single and dual color, laser, peel potatoes and make curly fries. I still think that would …

Watch on YouTube Some videos just go smooth. Turn on the camera, record, edit, done. This was not one of those videos. I don’t know what it was, but I could not get the vibe of it. Hopefully I was able to fix that in post, though. Testing out a slight change in the lighting of this one. A little …
