Watch on YouTube I kid you not, no sooner had I finished editing this video that another one contacted me on facebook. It took me all of 2 seconds to image search their supposed portfolio pieces in their profile to lay bare their fraud. I considered sending them the link to this video, but I realized the point wasn’t to …
Creality and Jackery review video
Watch on YouTube I don’t think I’ve ever done a video like this. Usually when reviewing equipment I just use the equipment, maybe record some B-Roll while I’m working on it, and then sit in my shed and talk about it. But this time I decided to record the video while working on it. Part of the reason is I …
3D Printing in the Wilderness
Watch on YouTube Betcha didn’t expect a stealth lesson about the Engineering process, did ya? I wanted to provide the files for the arm mounted 3D printer project, but unfortunately the specific battery backup I used is no longer available, meaning any attempt at it would involve a redesign of at least half of it. So as much as I’d …
Wingman Kickstarter Review
Watch on YouTube The Wingman is, in my opinion the only project of it’s kind in the market right now. But, like I kind of said in the video, Haas and his team aren’t marketers. And, I feel they have a vision for this project that maybe doesn’t quite meet the needs of the community, but it could so easily. …
Flashforge Adventurer 5 Review
Watch on YouTube Incase you didn’t realize it from the video, I’m keeping the Adventurer 5m Pro. In fact I’m selling the Adventurer 3. That’s how committed to this machine. And if I can talk the makerspace into upgrading, I’m gonna commit to a whole bunch of them. The Flashforge Adventurer 5m Pro is no my choice for quick prints. …
Two Trees SK1 Review Video
Watch on YouTube The more I explore this new Tier List way of categorizing 3D printers, the more I realize that there’s not a clear connection between the tiers. For instance, this printer wavered between “For Pros” and “Frustration”, jumping right over the “it works” tier. I don’t think “it works” was an option for this printer. The hardware was …
What are we going to do now that Shapeways is gone?
Watch on YouTube I had the chance to talk to Wayne Losey about the shutdown of shapeways after editing this video. Turns out he didn’t invent Stickfas, but he did lead the design and development of it and followed up with a kid focused line called Xevoz before moving on to Modibot. He also said that while Shapeways shutting down …
Kidoodle 3D Printer Kickstarter Review
Watch on YouTube Every time I type this company’s name, I put two “d”s in it, and so I’m going to say that’s what they should have named it. Because my brain can’t wrap itself around “kiDoodle”, they should name themselves “kiDDoodle”. For me. I have spoken. The Kidoodle 3d on kickstarter is a 3D printer that I am legimately …
QIDI Tech X-Smart 3 Review
Watch on YouTube I had to go back and re-record the middle section of this video. You can tell the part if you’re watching carefully because my tie is different and my hair is disheveled. The hair is because I had to take a late shower and didn’t let it dry properly before going to be. It was really late …
Revpoint Pop2 Review
Watch on YouTube I’m kind of ashamed how long it took me to realize the problems I was having with the Revopoint Pop2 wasn’t problems with the Pop2, but with 3D scanning in general. The Pop2 is great, and what it does to make it easy to use I can not over emphasize. In fact future scanners will be judged …
