Watch on YouTube The Ender 5, as I said, is a good printer and could actually be recommended by me. However, I can’t ever recommend every printer in every case. I feel like I need to qualify my recommendations for specific cases. The Ender 5 is great if you don’t have a big budget, but wants a little bigger build …
The Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Using Blender to Model for 3D printing Part 2 – Moving Objects

Genmitsu CNC Router From SaingSmart Review in 5 minutes
Watch on Youtube I hope I don’t come off as bagging on CNC in this video. That wasn’t my intent. CNC is an amazing technology that 3D printing owes a lot to. However, the necessity of a slicer solved a lot of the problems CNC routing had, in that you had to design with the end in mind. There’s a …
Modeling a Spider on Monday Modeling Twitch Live Stream
Watch on Twitch.tv This morning’s Monday Modeling livestream was the most successful I’ve had, from a scheduling, technical, and modeling perspective.

3D Scanning with the $600 Sol Scanner from Scan Dimensions
Watch on YouTube This is why I have to get out more. You only meet cool people like the ones at scan dimensions when you get out of the house. Remember, if I don’t say “I recommend it”, I’m probably being nice, but I don’t think you should have one. Not so with the Sol Scanner. This scanner I can …

Why aren’t 3D printed homes more common video
Watch on YouTube In the same week that I throw all attempts at making brief videos out the window, I follow that up with a 5 minute video to answer a single question. This video took… well, it took nearly 30 minutes with all the retakes I needed to do to get it right in one take, but that’s it. …
