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. …

Geeetech E180 and the Future of 3D Printing March MadMess video

https://youtu.be/m2kpnzMZE9U Basically, I’m saying I want a MP Select Mini to have this touch screen. As mentioned in the video, see the Neva writeup for my rant about heated build plates. If you’re an avid follower of the blog, you might have recognized the rant about the 3D printing becoming more appliance at the start of this video as having …

Updating the Etsy store

But secondly, and more exciting, at the request of a few people, I am making signed copies of my book, the Beginner’s Guide to the 3D …

Hey, they’re talking about me!

So there I was, just listening to my podcast fee, when the 3D Printing Today Podcast, episode 226, starts calling me out by name at around the 14:50 minute mark! They were doing a segment they called  “Makers vs DIY vs Crafters” and my work with the St. George Library Makerspace had caught their attention. They were talking about making …

Makerpsace Soldering Safety Video

https://youtu.be/oGzI1zLJ-sg FOCUS! FOOOCUS! Today’s work project is a video for the soldering station. Shot,edited, and uploaded this very day. And I like when that happens. But, do you see how the focus is off, or rather the focus is on the wrong thing? This is what happens when you’re the camera man, editor, and talent all in one.When I check …

My TEVO Tornado experience Video

https://youtu.be/75brLt86Wtc Hmm. I either need a higher table in the shed, or a lower chair. And if you don’t know why… good. Good. I got a request to tone back the March MadMess shout. Let me know if it’s missed. I’ve had the same conversation with TEVO owners over and over. It goes “TEVO machines are great”, then after they …
