Yesterday and today has been interesting. The CR10 project has started opening my eyes to what would be, to me, the ideal 3D printer. It’s not just about what the printer is, but what it can become. But adding some of the features I want to the CR10 is… non-trivial. However, I’ve already started building the next printer to review, …
Triangle Chess Set video
https://youtu.be/6NuYgCVXDzo 3 videos have come out of a single project. First, there’s the one where I more or less reported on the project of making a 3D printing setup for children with limited mobility. Then, there’s the one where I kavetched about web apps because one disappeared on me as I was awaiting delivery. Finally, there’s this one, finishing the …
Visiting Moment3D
I found this is my drafts folder. IT’s been sitting there for a while. So, sorry Alex and Andre. Apparently I can’t push publish. I’m a little bit behind on my blog posts. Earlier this month I visited Moment3D for a 3D printing meetup. Moment3D was one of the huge contributors in my previous fund raising campaign, so it was exciting …
The Problem with the CR10 video
https://youtu.be/6i8ODd8SogE CR10 from Gearbest in orange or blue, to match your decor. $368.99 with coupon: GBCRUSOr buy mine: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Creality-CR-10-3D-Printer-upgraded-with-Octoprint-and-3-5-Touchscreen-and-book/232549617385 The title is admittedly a little click baity. And the video is designed to lead people on, maybe a little. But I hope the resolution is entertaining and you’ll forgive my silly spin on the review of a printer everyone’s already seen reviewed. (Picture …

Web Apps and 3D Printing Video
https://youtu.be/wNnQBC88GT4 Alternate title, “Don’t gimme no SAAS” The content of this video aside, the problems with this video were… ugh. Until recently the audio in my videos was recorded on a blue snowball mic plugged into my USB port, recorded with OBS so I can get the audio and video in one shot, while changing cameras and inserting the intro …
Designing some stickers and maybe more
I have to apologize for missing my video last week. Lots of good things have been happening. For one, I attended another local event to advocate making and gather people’s information. My booth at Taste of Dixie More pictures of that to follow. Additionally, I commissioned a local high school to use their vinyl cutter to make me some stickers …
Enabling 3D Printing for Limited Mobility Children Video
https://youtu.be/mdt5BNtoQtQ This has become far more intricate than I initially thought it would be, and I don’t believe I did the subject justice at all in this video. First of all, there’s the topic in the title, making 3D printing available to disabled children, which I give a bit more detail about in a Patreon post. How cool is it …
3D Printed Trogdor drawn in Doodle3D video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RPXjM8grvI Check out that classic hot-rod flame job in the thumbnail. Coming out of the back of my head. Burninating me like a common peasant. Or thatched roof cottage. I am honestly super impressed with Doodle3D. I guess technically it’s Doodle3D Transform. Like Tinkercad before it, this is a took that seems like it should be for children, but it …
Interview video with Jimmy Shaw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0qpcmDeVCc This was an absolute thrill. Jimmy was on his way past my town to Vegas. He stopped, we had dinner, I showed him around and we recorded this video.I don’t have the best place for hosting video recording parties, but Jimmy and I decided we had to record this moment in some way. So with no plan, no script, and …
