Bay Area Maker Fair 2018 part 2 – The Cool People video

https://youtu.be/exnL2R0S7FE When I started, I was only going to have 2 videos. So I broke the travelogue and interviews into two. But once I finished editing all the interviews I had a video that was more than 30 minutes, so I decided that the interviews would be in two videos. So at this point I’m up to 4 videos out …

The Long Journey to Bay Area Maker Faire – Part 1 Video

https://youtu.be/g47rrzyP1Vs The original plan was to take and make 2 videos from my Bay Area Maker Faire journey, one for each of the days I was there. The first was going to be a little travelogue followed by interviews with the people that I met there. I was technically going to fudge things already because some of the interviews happened …

Thinking about 3D Printing Food while unboxing the M3D Video

https://youtu.be/NjkB_n04NiU Yes, I have a grotesque thing on my lip. It’ll be gone by this weekend. I am honestly amused by the idea of an astronaut getting so tired of Taco Bell that they decide to step out and see if they can find an In ‘n Out. In space. Between planets. Because there’d be nothing to step out too, …

My last day as a substitute teacher and my first Maker Fair

So, first things first, thanks to the makerspace where I’m now full time, I’ll be going to the Bay Area Maker Fair this weekend. I’ll be there Friday and Saturday and I’ll have a pocket full of maker coins to pass out, so if you see me, don’t be afraid to say “Hi” and get one. I’ve got something for …

CR-10S vs TEVO Tornado showdown video

https://youtu.be/7z9WLASMDDY I recognize that the video quality on this one sucks. It’s not the camera. It’s the recording space. It’s in badly need of an upgrade. That’s why I’m going to be making some Low Poly Dinos soon. I also can’t help to think that if I had an editor, or more time to learn to be an editor myself, …

Geeetech E180 follow up

I’ve had people ask if I’ve tried out the second E180 that I had and if it changed my opinion on the machine. Short answer: Nope The second E180 that I unboxed went well enough until we tried to turn it on. The power adapter had, strangely, a plug that didn’t fit in it. The male end was too long …

Makerspace Tinkercad Tutorial Video 1 and Mini HDMI screen tech test

Alright, I know the audio on this video isn’t great. I forgot my mic today and I didn’t want that to stop recording, so I thought I’d test out how the mic on the web cam did. And now I know. The point of this recording wasn’t the recording however. It was a tech test for using a Waveshare 5″ …

Master Spools and new filamet specs plus leveling the CR10S video

https://youtu.be/VzaVFZDIyJM By the way, that “Righty-Tighty” thing is from below, so if you’re looking at it from above we’re back to “Righty” tightening the level of the build plate, and “Lefty” making the level less tight. So my double think needed to be triple think back to the original. Complicated. I don’t know why, but it seems to be filament …
