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 …
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 …
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 …
https://youtu.be/ww3uruVPnsY This Christmas Tree project,spearheaded by Glenn Ready, to raise money for the Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, is going to be a huge undertaking. 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 …
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 …
