Watch on YouTube In a lot of ways I feel this largely justifies the grading rubric. There were very few over all surprises on this list. I certainly didn’t feel good about where everything landed, but when taking a critical look at the printers, it was the right place for everything in the end. It occurred to me when I …
Watch on YouTube I did not plan for Electroblok to take over. But, wow, I am making new electroboks and testing the bloks every single day. At this rate I’ll be ready to start a tutorial series as soon as September. And with October being the release of Blender 3.0 and the focus on my new channel at that time… …
Watch on YouTube Here’s the detailed Rubric, and the questions that I use to grade my 3D printers: Capability Category 0 1 2 3 Material Variety Doesn’t seem to take any materials Basically only good for a single material type Some features to allow for different materials (IE capable of high temps) (common answer) Additional features to allow for a …
Watch on YouTube If you’re a regular reader of my blog, following the links in the pinned comments in the description of every video, then you already knew this, because it was bascially the writeup of my last video. Also, you’re legend. After writing this all out in my last video I realized that I should make a video out …
Watch on YouTube It’s crazy to think that the first upload of this video was before the PrintABlok:Beasts kickstarter, and we are now living in a post PrintABlok:Beasts world. I guess, really, there hasn’t been that much time passed, but for me it feels like a world of time has passed. This reupload was mostly motivated because when I told …
Watch on YouTube I should have done this a long time ago. Of course, it’s never the right time for this sort of thing. Questions like, “Is this the haircut I want for this” or “Should I want to do some upgrades to my set” always got in the way. And the, one day, I decided to stop stalling and …
Watch on YouTube PLA. That’s the answer. Get PLA to start with. Get PLA, avoid ABS, try out PET, then go to the exotics. This video is for beginners in 3D printing. A lot of new 3D printer users are still asking some basic questions and I get them frequently, and when that happens, that’s when I know there needs …
Watch on YouTube When I started this video I had 35 minutes of footage. And I remembered Blaise Pascal’s famous quote: “I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.” Except I do have the time. That’s the point of editing. In the end I had to trim a lot of fat, but I managed …
Watch on YouTube Every time I put out one of these Blender tutorials I hope it does well, because I really want to do more of them. They’re quick and easy to do and, I think, super useful. Maybe when Blender 3.0 comes out it’ll be time to update the absolute beginner’s guide to Blender and dedicate a year of …
Watch On YouTube You might have noticed that a number of times in this video the audio went weird when I said “Adventurer 3”. That’s because I actually said “Ender 3” over and over and had to correct the audio by copy-pasting the few parts where I said the name right. So that’s the story to that. You guys know …
