Watch on YouTube This video was shot twice. Originally I planned on having this be 3 videos, but the audio that day was terrible, and after getting complaints about using my backup audio in a previous video, I decided to just start over.

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 …

And when I released the base blocks to the public, there was no doubt in my mind that they worked. I’d tried them on good printers, I tried …
Watch on YouTube The PrintABlok kickstarter is to the point where I would describe the time left as “hours”. Though, that number is more than 24, so maybe I’m jumping the gun. The Gatling Gun!

Watch on YouTube And join the kickstarter. I am so neck deep in modeling PrintABloks that I really don’t have anything else to add to this video. And that’s good, because as long as the kickstarter is doing well, I don’t have to try to figure out promotion, and that really stresses me out. I am worried this video came …
