Watch Video On YouTube PrintABlok isn’t the first thing I’ve made that people have told me I should patent, but it is the first thing that I seriously considered patenting it.

And since I realized I only had about 3 minutes of things to say about each printer, …
Watch on YouTube I had some audio problems which forced me to cut the part where I mention the covered tube with the wires and filament that goes into the nozzle through a slit in the top, that thing got caught on the Mando helmet build, rubbed against the top as it moved left and right, and caused the print …
Watch on YouTube I said earlier that this project wouldn’t have been the same without Kickstarter. The incubation period has allowed for develoment of this idea to a high degree of maturity.
