Creality Ender 5 Five Minute Review

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.

Sneak Peek at my Magnum Opus – World of Chibimals Video

Watch on YouTube As I continue to work on the world of Chibimals, a story has developed. The basic outline so far is:  Piggy finds a MacGuffin, maybe a 3D model in parts so I can release one part at a time as the story progresses, that leads him to a new area, where he gathers a friend and goes …

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

Learn Electronics for Free at your local Washington County Library

Watch on YouTube I am excited to announce that Arduino kits are now available at the Libraries in Washington County. As a video for the library, this may be a bit rapidly produced, but it doesn’t diminish my excitement for these kits. Having to explore different starter kits for the library, I was fortunate to find ones that were actually …

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. …
