Using the Tina2S to make a Super Mario Tie

Watch on YouTube I’ve been sitting on the Weefun Tina 2, the tie project I did with it, and this video for a very long time. The reason is because of their app. And at this time their app is still stealing models without attribution. And even if that weren’t the case, it doesn’t add supports on items that need …

Where’s the best place to upload your 3D Models

Watch on YouTube Keeping in mind that I produced this video, I had no idea BambuLabs was about to launch their repository platform. At the time of writing it doesn’t seem to be live yet, and they didn’t ask me to join the beta. But maybe this video will influence them somewhat. Even at 20 minutes, I feel like I …

Making something useful with PrintABlok – Wall Shelf

Watch on YouTube This video almost didn’t get made, and now that I’m looking at the final product, I’m not sure it should have. The sound is fine (thank goodness) but the video is rough.

CrealityCloud has a problem, and it’s stopping me from getting in!

Watch on YouTube For those who skip my short videos, you’re missing out on the development process of that awesome angel mecha.
