https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPvMqEzSmhM Code for 3D Printing Scholars: F:XSN ZQNP NPJ XUI, QW ZQNP NPJ WJZ I literally threw this together on the spur of the moment, including crappy cel-phone shot video in Grandpa’s old office. Mostly it was put together as a joke, since most 3D models start as a block, and that’s kinda the idea behind the 3DBlockZoo. And yet somehow …
3rd 3D printing livestream, great success!
Hey, everyone, I managed a whole livestream without technical problems. Even did Blender with sculpting and dynamic topology. I suspect heavy boolean operations that would slow down my whole system will probably cause problems with the live stream, but this opens up a whole world of opportunities to me. Special thanks to @daJuicyMoose for helping me sort out the best settings. …

https://www.youtube.com/watch/v8huw5MRU2E Code for 3D Printing Scholars: D:OLIYI’M D GWVODGO JWYU WV UA FTWK The first conversation between someone who does 3D printing, and someone who wants to do 3D printing usually follows a sort of pattern. Are you interested in 3D printing? Then perhaps this series of questions will tell you if 3D printing is right for you. Of course, the …
3D printing new mallets and little hand card holders
This week I did a couple of quick projects this week that went from idea to finished product so fast that I forgot to take any pictures of the process or record anything while I was doing it. Literally from idea to reality in less than a day. We are living in the future. My daughter loves playing go fish. …

3D Printing 101 – Safety First
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FICKkseSMpk It’s important to realize that 3D printers are machines, and like most machines there are risks associated with their use. Most of these risks are minimal and the number of incidents involving 3D printing are low, especially compared with the number of 3D printers in use. However, unless you’re going to only use 3D printing services and let them …
Lessons from my 3DBlockZoo livestream
https://www.youtube.com/watch/LJVCFGhxYpg Despite the challenges last time I still really want to do live streaming. My older videos were made using a similar technique of grabbing the screen and overlaying video in one take, and that was on the same computer, so maybe my aging computer isn’t the problem. So I decided to apply the scientific method, change one variable at …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM-T0i-vbwY Aside: I hadn’t meant for this video to go up when it did. I accident used HitFilm’s direct upload capability, and I am not going to do that again. Not only did the update go up before I was ready to have it out there, it totally messed up settings on the video make it more trouble than it’s …
3D Printing 101 – Forward
I’ve decided it’s time to put aside all other things and focus my energies on a big new project: 3D Printing 101. The ultimate goal of this project is a series of very small books, sold cheap, that will be the defacto standard for 3D printing education. Here’s how it goes: Starting with an outline I’ll record a video. Then …
Are you getting in on the 3D Block Zoo?
It started when the better half of A Pyro Design, Heather, did her first 3D modeling in Tinkercad, a simple bunny that started as a default cube, followed later by a swan. Then SparkyFace5 on Twitter made her own animals and took to YouTube to put out a call to action and, boy, has it taken off. Thing is making an animal for …
