3D Printing Vs Laser Cutting Video

https://youtu.be/ca3RSRdqWwc One point I forgot to mention in the video is that Laser Cut designs are generally less portable than 3D printing designs. Especially if there are bits meant to mesh together, if you ahve the wrong thickness of material or need to scale the design down, you need to go into the design side and fix everything. For that …

Answering the Internet’s most pressing 3D Printing Questions Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMjP0vCiQ2M EDIT: GAH, upload problems. Editing problems. YouTube problems. 99 problems. I apologize for the inconvenience. I’ll admit, I’m kinda phoning this video in. Last minute idea, no script, minimal effort, minimal editing. There is a lot I could have done to make this more compelling viewing in editing, but I didn’t. I consider this a sacrificial video for the …

3D Printed Concert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c9xx5XXEG8&t=1m33s I received word this morning that one of my older designs, and one with perhaps the longest legs, was “made” on thingiverse. The make was accompanied by a YouTube video by Do It, linked above. A 3D printed concert. It’s an amusing video and I recommend it. This week’s video is a little up in the air. There’s a …

Sainsmart Filament Review Video

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55hIn3OWka It’s not often I make it this far through a roll of filament before I get to review it. The truth is, I had some rather lofty goals for this filament, and most of them fell through. They flopped pretty badly, in fact. The first was a scaled up variation of a marble maze that would work with …

Making 3D Printed Lithophanes the easy way Video

https://youtu.be/gtWTPszGGqY Lithophanes remain one of my favorite 3D printed projects. But discovering recently that Cura can made depth maps, and with only the slightest bit of cleverness they can be turned into lithophanes, I was thrilled. Not that there’s anything wrong with doing them the hard way. In fact doing them the hard way has a lot of benefits, not …

I hope this goes awesome. My next video will detail the process of making the lithophanes for the clips that I’ll talk more about in the next video. Then put them in an envelope …

Buy officially licensed Waterdeep tokens

I am interested in printing these and putting them in my online store. I think that is against the creative commons license you currently have. What kind of arrangement can we make? Honestly, all it takes is to ask. I was contacted by an etsy reseller asking if they could print my models and sell them. The immediate conversation was …

The Professor Still Love the Monoprice Select Mini Video

https://youtu.be/imSq8c7OF_E Yup. I got me the Monoprice V3 aka the “Pro”. I think they call it “Pro” because, as I understand it, they discovered that the auto leveling on the delta printers was just complicated enough to make new users balk. Of course I think this could be fixed by a script that recognizes the first time it’s turned on …
