I’ll let you in on a little secret. This first part of this video was almost entirely lifted from my books. Content-wise, anyways. The book is much more concise and less… rambly. The second part of this video, where I point out that Blender’s STL export is now a little broken in 2.77, well, that’s original. So this video got …
Vlog video about books, Patreon, and a contest to keep you watching
I’ll admit it, I’m not above bribing you to watch my video. If you want to win a copy of my second 3D Printing Designs book, the SD Card Holder Ring, then you need to comment on YouTube. Each book has a focus. The Octopus Pencil Holder was about solid shape modification and modifiers. This second book is more about …
How not to advertise your 3D Printing school
I don’t want to give this any more legitimacy than it deserves, but I feel that we need to shine a spotlight on this sort of thing and address it openly before it becomes the norm. Watch this video, but turn off the sound, and tell me what you think they’re advertising: Obviously it’s something to do with 3D printing …
Are free 3D models holding 3D printing back?
This is a topic that I’ve been stewing over for a while. Of course I want there to be a market for 3D printable models, but what if we’re actually hurting 3D printing by our insistence that they be free? I’ll admit it’s taken me a lot to start charging for my models. That was mostly because paid 3D models …
Should I Censor my 3D Print Video?
So here’s the video I was working on last week that I didn’t get done in time. It’s a rather ambitious video, and maybe a little pretentious. It’s a topic I’ve wanted to tackle for a while, but didn’t know how until this situation dropped in my lap. What situation? Well, it goes like this. In my Tungsten fill video …
Busy week, big news, no video
It’s not that I didn’t want to make a video this week. I tried, I really did. This video was ambitious, both in topic, editing, and what’s it may end up meaning. Lost a whole day editing it. Even reshot some stuff, which I never do. But the final result was… icky poo to the ears. I’m going to have …
3D Printing with Tungsten
At the beginning of the month my temporary work space kicked me out, so before the eviction, as it were, went into effect I wrapped up and recorded a bunch of videos. This months videos have been the result of editing those videos and this is the last one of them. This means the next couple of videos are going …
3D Printing Professor on Patreon
Welp, I’ve gone and done it now. The post really says it all. This isn’t the right time to do this sort of thing. With the sale of our house taking way longer than anticipated it’s getting harder and hard to maker videos. So is it a good idea to pull the trigger on a Patreon when I can’t work …
3D Printed Striped Tie Project
What to say about this one? It was a long time coming, a lot of work went into desiging, testing, printing, iterating, final prints, failed prints, and finally a surprising success. Then filming the video and editing it and getting it out to you. All for a project that I expect no one but me will be excited about. There …
Pinshape 3D Printing Batman V Superman Contest Reaction Video
So, getting to judge Pinshape’s Batman V Superman contest was a hoot and some of the entrants wanted some more information about why their entry didn’t win. So here’s a video where I run down the entries that I judged. Now, I didn’t get to judge every entry. Many entries got filtered out before I got to see them. Which is …
