Watch on YouTube CES isn’t for you and I. It’s for investors and investees to meet. Getting to attend CES was a dream come true. It’s the sort of dream come true where when it does come true you kind of end up going “what was the big deal?” CES is not like a Makerfair or Rep Rap festival. Heck, …
If you support me on Printables or Patreon you should have received this month’s reward. In honor of Chinese New Year and 2024 being the year of the Dragon, I brought out the articulated dragon model from the PrintABlok:Beasts campaign. This model has been newly updated with the improved ball joints and so should hold it’s poses better, longer. In …
Watch on YouTube Ankermake really tried to do something new with the M5C. And while that could have gone very badly, or very well, it ended up… not bad. Not great, but not bad. I had a good time with it. But there’s enough little problems with it that it doesn’t merit a recommendation. Had they stuck with designing that …
Watch On YouTube Designer Con was recommended to me by someone at the Orange County Maker Fair Discord, and I immediately recognized it as a potential next step on my path towards a career as a toy designer. And boy howdy did that turn out to be true. However, after looking at this footage, I went and got a steady …
Watch on YouTube Fun fact about that silly opening: I actually tried doing a very lazy laser effect (I make rings of light fly from my finger) and it was way easier than what I did with the self-deprecating joke. But self-deprecating humor is hilarious. Laser cutting has slowly been creeping it’s way into my regular making workflow. It’s a …
It’s a new month, so Patreon, Thangs, and Printables supporters are getting the Starwing with Anthromedian Lion Pilot playset premium models this month. Thank you all for your support. As we proceed across the boundary from one year to the next, we have an opportunity to look backwards in review, and forwards in hope. For me, this past year saw …
Watch on YouTube This video started as a quest for help on the 3D printing Tips and Tricks Google Group run by the guy who has the 3D Printing Today Podcast. What I told the user asking on that post was all they needed to do was: Import the hollowed 3D model into blender. Locate the drip hole, usually a …
Watch on YouTube The Creality K1 really has become a part of the gamily. Honestly, the only thing holding it back from being a contender for a Bambu killer is the fact that it can’t do multi color. But that’s it. I love printing from the app. I love printing from the USB stick (something Bambu could learn from). My …
Watch on YouTube Production of this video was an experiment in producing a video at the makerspace and… I don’t know if I’ll do it again. Not just because my phone camera has a bad habit of refocusing frequently, but the sound in the makerspace is really dirty, even when the 3D printers and laser cutters aren’t doing anything there’s …
Watch on YouTube Let’s see if a video that doesn’t give ammunition to the haters gets as much traction. In the video i say that my Ender criticism was recieved only middling, but that’s compared to the AMS video. Truth is, that video was my best performing video for a while before the AMS criticism video. People like criticism. But …
