https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHi5txbxs90 I hope nobody notices how rushed this video is. This is the first video edited on the new laptop, and the tool chain isn’t all there. So if this video seems a bit rough around the edges… is it. But today is Wednesday and come what may I’m uploading a video today, darn it. Not to brag, but my …
3D Printing at Tuacahn
Tuacahn Amphitheater in Southern Utah. Nestled into beautiful red foothills hills. Home of great theater, a Saturday farmer’s market, and 3D printing. 3D printing? Yup. Just inside their gift shop is a display case with 3D printed props from their previous shows. From Peter Pan there’s some kisses (acorns), Wendy’s thimble, and a feather arm bracelet leverl created by printing …
Supported by viewers like you Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWEzdCu9Hq0 I made the intro to this video the way that I did for a couple of reasons. First of all, Kevin MacLeod’s Fig Leaf Times Two is irresistible. And second, this saved me from having to foley a decent sound track, which I’m not equipped to do. However, for the time I spend making the silent movie/retro computer text …
3D Printing Fidget Spinners with Special Guest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gO8TdCFObA Of all my kids Gabe really enjoys being a part of my videos the most. This may be the first non-livestream video he gets to be a part of. I’m curious what the analytics will say about his presence. Maybe he can be a regular co-host. Sorry if I don’t have much else to say about this video today. …
Using Acetone and Nailpolish to finish prints video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iX6x2MLhH0 One thing I didn’t mention in the video was that the acetone I use sometimes causes some white discoloration and I have yet to figure out how to get rid of it. for the skull dice I would sand the print after hitting with acetone to make sure it’s as clear as can be before adding the final coat, …
FFF 3D prints as clear as glass with Colorfabb HT
https://youtu.be/KesvLciE8rw In the past I concluded that optically transparent FFF 3D prints just were not possible. The process itself worked against this. Then Colorfabb wrote a blog post asserting that it was possible, with a special filament. So I knew I had to give this “HT” stuff a try. What is Colorfabb HT? I have no idea. Even the name …
To support or not to support?
This was a commission job to do a character model based on someone Final Fantasy XIV character, and it is the most complex part I’ve ever modeled and printed. Part of the complexity of this model was the fact that it was a moving target. As an online game the player was constantly changing their costume. The other part of …
3D printing colorfabb bronzefill and brassfill chess set
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTEPxQd8ZKE Code for Scholars: J:AUJA RBMXH YOMXQH Is there a word for accidentally making the right choice when you mean to make another? Does serendipity cover that? I was seriously gunning for bronzefill when I ordered the brassfill, but if I had I wouldn’t have finished the job and would likely have just written off all fills as being garbage. But …
Weekend project, goal reached, lithophanes and promotional paperclips
Perhaps my 2 hour stream burned me out, but I’ve had a hard time making a new video, asside from an accidental test. And when I did record a new video, I then left my camera with the footage I recorded at the 3D printing meetup I presented at. However, I’ve got the camera back, I’m editing that footage today, …
Modeling a Trophy for TableTop Day 2017
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oxDTLXrmTU Code for 3D Scholars: Z:UFBZR UJF (We have a winner) A few years back I modeled a trophy for International TableTop day, 2014. In my scattered interests in 3D printing I’ve wanted to do another for a while and this year inspiration struck. Take elements from board games and arrange them like the classic Star Wars movie poster. So …
