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 …
Pre-Order Drama with Creality
I was made aware this morning on the Ender-3 Facebook group that Creality’s new kit, the Ender-3 is having some shipping problems, specifically shipping to their most dedicated users who got in on a special pre-order through AliExpress. Those orders were able to get an early bird discount, but they’re ending up being some of the last to receive their …
Creating a Themed Chess Box Video
https://youtu.be/ErgO3BrPO4s The point of this video was to inspire you, if you want to do something new, not to give up. Try, try again until you get it. I hope that came through. If not, watch it again, and keep saying “I can succeed if I keep trying.” It should be mentioned that, at size, this chess set is hard …
Anet A8 Fire Risk and Marlin Upgrade Video #SaveTheSexyCyborg
https://youtu.be/Z9hDMkFWE_0 Upgrade your firmware. Make sure Thermal Runaway Protection is on. Be safe. This video was honestly a little rushed. I felt a bit behind the 8 ball with so many A8s catching fire in so short a time. Had I unlimited resources the illustrated description of the thermal runaway problem would have taken a different form, but as it …
Creality CR-10S and GPL Violations
https://youtu.be/I6FRig3LUkw Quickly shot, minimally edited, definitely rambley and long. I hope it doesn’t entirely suck. I know that a lot of people feel very strongly about this. Thing is, I also feel like people are making hasty decisions that they’ll regret. And while I originally wanted to just let it blow over, some comments on my videos kinda got me …
Hot End Shout Out Video
https://youtu.be/owoUvSDNjnU Yesterday, I started the process of editing the videos I had previously recorded. I had a video from before March about Cura’s new dynamic layer settings with a side not about using Cura with the Neva. That one didn’t have the punch I wanted and it had some audio problems. So I threw it out and started editing the …
How a month of Hardware Reviews changed the way I make videos
https://youtu.be/pan1ZsrVwzM The Community survey has a limited number of slots for options, so I had to pick my top 5, and we’ll cycle in the others with the next month. Go vote now to tell me what to do: https://www.youtube.com/user/mrjoesays/community As this month of hardware reviews wraps up, I’ve had some thoughts I’d like to share. You wouldn’t think that a …
Mooz 3 in 1 Maker Machine – March MadMess
https://youtu.be/QhTX9o5JGa4 This thumbnail references the classic meme known as “Shoop da Whoop“. I may have been a little bit generous with this machine in the video. The truth is there’s a lot of issues with it, but it’s only of the only machines I know of, at this price, that enables home users to 3D print, laser etch, and route. …
