Watch Video Maybe you’re asking “What’s the deal with the still images? Didn’t Joe record the video.” Well, of course I recorded the video. But when you yank out the SD card before the camera is done writing the video file to it, well, it’s like I didn’t record any video. Fortunately, my son was a sport about it, so …
A bit about this post. Some of it was written immediately after the Low Poly Dino kickstarter. But I decided not to release it then, waiting until I was ready to start again. It sat for a year before I went back to review and edit it a little in preparation for my second 3D modeling kickstarter. So this is …
Watch Video This video is, admittedly, left over footage that I cut from the illusion box video I put out a few weeks back. At the time I felt it made the video drag, and interrupted the pace of what was a rather punchy video. But I still thought people might like to know the technique. UV editing and texture …

Watch Video Download, print, and play Bot Blitz Big Brute Battery Bit Battle! As I said in the video, this game is only the first in the Bot Blitz series. Originally I came up with the name “Bot Blitz” as a robot version of the name “Squirrel Squabble“. But as I started working on these cute robots it became apparent …
Watch Video The quality of this video may seem all over the place. I guess the lesson here is “what a difference a year makes.” Nothing makes the changes the Low Poly Dino kickstarter has had on my videos as pronounced as a video with footage shoot on the old camera, my still current camera phone, the camera built into …
Watch the video You can download my surprise egg shell here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3538929 This is the first video recorded with my brand new camera rig. I hope the difference is noticeable. That said, if no one says anything, is that a success? With the AstroPrint egg, one problem I foresaw is that it couldn’t scale up. If you scaled it up, …
You may be wondering why I didn’t post this at the end of Day 2 of the Midwest Reprap Festival, like I did the last MRRF post. There are a couple of good reasons. First of all, day 2 of MRRF doesn’t end until midnight. Then, when it finally did end, I had a couple of hours of sleep and …
When you’re a dad like me, every day is April Fool’s day. Still, I should have prepared something for this day. Fortunately, many others already have, so I’ll just share theirs with you.
