At the time of this posting the Kickstarter for the Royal game of Ur is achingly close to funding. I love this paint of the game. One of the things I should have done at the start of this campaign has been corrected now. A digital reward tier has been added that ads the diamonds and rules that are not …
3D Printing 101 – What is 3D Printing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxh9oXpxNn8& This is very late getting to you, and a bit out of order. The end of the 3D printing 101 series, the part where you get some hands-on with slicers and actually make something, I wanted to get out there first. Then, I went back and wrote the other chapters. As I do I’ll insert them into the youtube …
The Royal Game of Ur 3D Printed Replica on Kickstarter Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f7Fm9IAXUc https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3dpprofessor/the-royal-game-of-ur-3d-printed-playable-replica It’s been a long time since I tried my hand at kickstarter. I’m not super practiced at it. So when the button said “Submit for approval (3-5 days)” I foolishly assumed that didn’t mean “Launch right now”, which is what happened. So I fumbled the launch, which gutted my chances of trending on Kickstarter. Now, for most folks …
Double Fidget Spinners video
https://youtu.be/BawC6uQ5RLc I’m actually out of town on vacation as I upload this video and type this up. Will I get 2 videos out next week? Probably not. I also won’t be sending out the rewards to the winners until I get back as well. But I can pick a winner. The double spinner is oddly satisfying to use, even if …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGWJzekLxKA Get your own Tipeye 3D printing pen and support what I do through this link: http://amzn.to/2qATCS5 This isn’t my first 3D Pen, but this is the first one I liked enough to actually review it. I tend to take Thumper’s Father’s advice when it comes to reviews. One thing I forgot in the review was that a pen like this …
What happens when your 3D models are stolen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmKugbWljsY Ir was exciting to catch a young designer who hit the big times early with a minor CC license violation. Robert Ihnatisin is a bright young designer who found himself in the middle of traffic when his design for the game of Ur was usurped and used without his permission. when a kickstarter, clearly trying to cash in on a …
Interview with Lou Anders video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcpMFMwZ7Z0 This was an opportunity that kind of came upon me quickly. My son discovered the Thrones and Bones book series rather serendipitously. That the book had the rules for a board game in the back was a complete bonus to him, and he was immediately hooked by the idea. Being the board game affectionato I am I immediately recognized …
Where you can meet me this summer vlog
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEt6ZuJ_s-o I was really on a roll with the Wednesday and Satruday uploads, and then I missed Wednesday this week. The reasons are multiple. I did record a video, but then I botched the audio. And between the new baby and everything else I have going on I just never got back into recording until… well, just now. But this …
The makerbot story video
https://youtu.be/x04wJdGp-yg This is a lecture that I’ve used in the past when teaching PowerPoint, to show my students how a PowerPoint presentation doesn’t necessarily need to be a list of bullet points to be engaging. So I put together this little presentation relating Makerbot’s relationship with the maker community to a high school drama and it amused me how well …
3D Printing the Royal Game of Ur
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IE4RUTCkEE I didn’t intend to have two board game videos out in a row. Believe it or not I’ve got another board game project I’m working on in collaboration with my middle son coming soon. I think I’m gonna finally get enough project together that I can justify another run a GenCon, if I can get the scratch together. Should …
