Watch Video You might not have seen this video in my usual channel. This video went up for my makerspace channel, my day job. It was specifically to basically record something I end up saying several times a week, with slightly higher production values. Slightly. Production-wise, this video was a lot more like the videos I used to do. Single …
Watch Video Since this is my first Maker Faire video this year, I want to talk about the recording rig I used to get the shots this year. Last year I basically had my crappy old phone and a lav mic. This year I got a new phone which takes excellent video, even in 4k. But the sound on it …
Follow the 3D Printing Professor on Instagram! A little behind the scenes about how I’m pulling this of. I’m using IFTTT to take my instagram posts and repost them on twitter and facebook. So technically, I’m kinda gaming the system when I post. But I also understand that if I don’t maintain a presence on these sites that it won’t …
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 “Cartesian XY”. One of my most common slip of the tongues is calling “Cartesian XY” 3D printers “Core XY” which isn’t correct. Technically Core XY is a subset of Cartesian XY systems. CoreXY is when the motors for X and Y movement are stationary and the X and Y movement is driven by a belt that loops around …
Watch Video Functional and fun to look at. This has always been my mantra in designing for 3D printing since the beginning. Adding artistic elements to functional prints, like making desk card holder that has the last supper on it. But with the Davinci Color I feel like my opportunities for adding artistic elements to simple prints has skyrocketed. How …
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 …
