Watch Video When I recorded this video, I had intended to record 3 videos, then release this one earlier in the week as a quick video, and today releasing one of the other ones. But when it came time to record the scripts for my videos were incomplete, and I couldn’t get out of my head that the teleprompter needed …
https://youtu.be/mcDUMbNaegk I meant for this to be uploaded this morning, when it surely would have gotten more views. But, alas, technical difficulties pushed the release until later in the afternoon, mere hours from Thanksgiving. The Christmas tree project is coming along nicely. And that’s thanks to you all. I put myself out there, relying on the community to provide, and …
https://youtu.be/m-_81EhDGnM I guess it’s good that the news isn’t complaining about 3D printed guns this week. Why worry about guns when 3D printers will kill you for breathing. Actually, I’m not sure we’ve traded up now that I think about it. I imagine that these news agencies are being run by J. Jonah Jameson, berating his staff with a “We need …
https://youtu.be/pLUgdlrAon8 This week in “What I forgot to mention in the video”, I forgot to mention in the video optimal print settings for PolySmooth. I found the best results were gotten from dropping the print temperature to 190 and using a lot of fan. How much fan? All. The. Fan. Think you have enough fan? Think again. Get yourself desk …
If I were making full length episodes, this would be part 1, followed by a quick Inkscape tutorial, then capped off with a discussion of Laser Cutting vs 3D Printing. I’m half tempted to make that super edit and upload it in the future, just to see how it would play. Making a Raspberry Pi powered Teleprompter is a great …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16DN1MWIbf8 When Eitan contacted me about an interview, I was like “Yeah, sure, let’s chat”. Of course he was doing it because they have a product they’re trying to push, but it’s also clear that they are true fans of 3D printing and Eitan was genuinely delighted to speak with me. But this video he produced makes me envious. Honestly, …
https://youtu.be/fCw5lE_vbbc Yup. That’s a vector thumbnail. Part of my job as Makerspace Administrator for the Washington County Libraries is to basically do what I do with the video thing, but for the Library. And a lesson on Inkscape has been one of those things that many people have requested to help them get started with using the Laser cutter. However, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
