https://youtu.be/HXXNHw5aI2A There’s supposed to be a picture of me superimposed on that thumbnail there, but for some reason the masking tool didn’t work while putting it together. I hope that’s not a portent. Honestly, not a lot to say about this video. Not even sure I should have done it. But I’ve got a silent advisory in the background who …
M3D Micro+ Review video
https://youtu.be/Q_6IURZ1esM To answer the question posed by the thumbnail there, is the M3D Micro+ the best mini 3D printer? I’ll admit when I started this journey I was still looking for something to dethrone the MP Select Mini.It’s been 3 years and I have yet to find a starter printer that I recommend over it, except maybe the MP Mini …
3D Printed Curtain Rod Project
https://youtu.be/7P6w4YiyGa0 They say that necessity is the mother of invention, but owning a 3D printer I think, means you the bar for necessity is significantly lowered. …or raised. I’m not 100% sure what the metric is on this one. The point is you’ve always got a solution on had. It’s not always the right solution, but in this case I …
How to model a Marble Machine with Curves in Blender video
https://youtu.be/ZPhMN2Xpl1g I like how the videos this week chained together. Not all of them, but did you notice how in Good Overhangs I mentioned a technique that could be used to print the Guala Gadgets 3D Printed Marble Machines. I then talked about the filament used to print the marble machines and how they’re using the Master Spool, and then …
I spent $200 at Shapeways, and check out what I got video
https://youtu.be/NSSULA6XFNA As I said, I’ve been in 3D printing for a while, and I’ve only occasionally taken advantage of Shapeways. But I have always seen value in it. And I’ve also seen a handful of thing that I kinda wanted. I feel like in this video I only really had time to skip across the surface of each object, and …
3D Printed Egg Holder Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap7SwARaI3Y I don’t know what came over me. As soon as I decided I needed to do egg puns in this one they just kept rolling. This 8 minute video took me 4 hours to film. First I tried using my phone for the audio and asides. The audio was okay, but recording that long of a video on my …
Downside of the Master Spool Video
https://youtu.be/G6T6ZDLPmlA So, do you remember the movie “Pay it Forward”? Remember how everyone who described the idea of paying it forward insisted that it was their own idea? That was to illustrate how good an idea it was. The same thing is happening with the Master Spool. I feel I do sometimes come across as the guy who’s looking for …
Gualala Gadget Marble Machines
https://youtu.be/YELrkcQnmQY Go to http://gualalagadget.com/about.html, click “Print a 3D model”, and print out their marble maze. Scale it up 2x and use glass marbles if you have to. You will not be disappointed. The marble machines that I saw Gualala Gadget showing off at BAMF2018 were amazing. They had the Sisyphus, which used hidden magnets to make the marble seemingly impossibly climb the …
3D Printing Tip – How to improve your overhangs
https://youtu.be/S0wXwje9DX4 Short video, I know, but hopefully it helps someone. The original plan was to make the videos this week very quick ones, minimal editing. But I just couldn’t help but include an animated illustration in this one. I hope that’s a good sign for my future endeavors. The next 3 or 4 videos will follow from prompts in this …
Who are the people in your makerspace – Jonah and Gabe video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NShxyScRsRw Consider this a bonus from the Startt review. And, yeah, I know, I didn’t put nearly the effort into this one that I put into the other. No fake interview angle changes to motivate the bad sound. Heck, almost no editing at all except to trim the video, which I did in the camera. Maybe not the greatest way …
