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 …

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 …
3D Printing Build Plate Showdown Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af0RrBl0bW4 Code for 3D Scholars: O:TUFSH OKE RZIZOTZ Build plates are one of the biggest place where prints succeed or fail. If a print doesn’t stick to the build plate well it’ll pop off or shift and the print will be a failure. And if the print doesn’t come off after the print is done it can be a whole other …
3D Printing 101 – Slicing a model
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7brUq9DOdY Slicing is the first step in the 3D printing process. For most FFF 3D printers the slicer is a piece of software running on a computer outside the 3D printer itself. Your computer. In this chapter we’ll go through the process of downloading, installing, and using the slicer to make a GCode file that the 3D printer can use …
