So I might have gone a little bit space dice crazy. I think it’s out of my system now. Fortunately, you all get to reap the rewards. What follows is a descent into the madness of my mind via the medium of 3D printed dice, so strap in and enjoy the ride. After I released my Space Dice models and …
3D Printed Space Dice video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ2EsoQ-N5E Code for 3D Scholars: I:”SMKWPCIY” UEY’Z PBPY I ZTUYR I’ve been getting more into building the YouTube channel, reading up on the best practices and whatnot. That’s why what you see above is not an embedded video, because embedded views don’t “count”. Instead it’s a picture and a link to YouTube where the view does count. Also the title on …
In defense of useless 3D prints Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzc_UGfToVM Secret code for 3D Printing Scholars: H:UHN UHN TS ERL STER WYNK Some people wonder if 3D printing can be used to make useful 3D prints, when all that anyone seems to print are trinkets and knick-knacks. But of course an unlimited technology like 3D printing can do anything. Are so called “useless” 3d prints really a bad thing? Prints …
3D Printed Lithophane Lamp and Don’t Fear Failure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj1wGWATKko Secret code for 3D Printing Scholars: G:QCONKNQCKN, QGXJ POKXGJKN, GXJ 3J YORXSRXP This video had 2 distinct themes. The first was responding to Vicky Soma’s failure video. The second was the lithophane lamp I made and the story of the struggle with it (and my historical struggles with lithophanes). However, along the way I realized a joke that should have been …
The surprising necessity of a fan when 3D printing
Left, no fan, right, light fan. This may come as a shock to you, but there was a time where a downward blowing fan was not standard equipment on most 3D printers. The 3D printing technology at the time, developed by the likes of 3D Systems and Stratasys, never needed one. They were printing ABS in enclosures. And so the …
3D printing 101 – Which 3D Printer should you buy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0VPHh7ifPk So you’ve decided that owning a 3D printer is for you. Excellent! Good choice. But don’t just go out and buy the first one that catches your eye. Do what your mama told you and look around a bit first. A little bit of research can go a long way to making a good decision. Of course I can’t …
3D Modeling some Fruit on livestream.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oppwGJm7vWU I think I can say that this was my first truly successful livestream. It was honestly almost perfect. The only shortcoming I can think of is that I could not get the chat window to come into the video, but I’ll correct that by posting the chat log here: Makingdownunda hey Justin Ethington Hello! 3D Printing Professor The first …
3D Printing 101 – 3D Printing without a 3D Printer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhZJD5FnNJY If you don’t have a 3D printer you can still take advantage of 3D printing to make cool things and solve problems, and you don’t have to break the bank to do it. You just have to have a little bit of knowledge about 3D printing processes before starting. The key is the more you can do yourself, the …

December’s Pateron reward is 3D modeling-complete
If you’re a pateron backer this month you get a doozy of a project. 6 tree segments, 5 test ornaments, 23 scripture ornaments, and a star to put on top. You can read more about it on Pateron. For those chomping at the bit to get the write-ups for the last video, hang on just a little while longer. Just …
