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 …
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 …
