So when I asked for feedback last week I got a lot of it wanting me to do more project videos, like the ones I used to do. So I turned on OBS, fired up Blender, and got some good old fashioned screen cap on. You can download the fancy insert here: https://pinshape.com/items/22239 I’ve had some life events happen that have …
Contest Winner and Survey Question
I probably put way more work into this than I should have. Finished the book on Thursday. Filmed on Friday. Edited and uploaded and edited and uploaded and annotated all Saturday. Seriously, getting the vote system in place was a pain. Was it worth it? I’ll give it a few more tries and see if I can streamline the processs …
3D Printing a Robot Chess set with Copperfill
Since I decided to do these filament review videos, with added benefit of beefing up my 3D printed chess set collection, I’ve realized I could do 10 of these videos in a row. People are even sending me samples for free, which is awesome. But I’m trying to space them out a bit. Plus I don’t have a whole lot …
3D Printed Duct Tape Clip-On Tie Project
This video was harder than most… to film. For some reason I just could not find the time. Life is still a bit up-in-the-air at the moment, which can make finding time to set up the camera a challenge. but I managed to film, edit, and upload this video. It’s an editing heavy one, too. I made 2 versions of …
How long does that take to 3D Print
As promised, here is the text version of the report I did in this knowledge heavy video. Class is in session! There are several settings which have an effect on print speed. But adjusting these setting has other, sometimes unintentional, consequences. So here’s a break down of the settings, how much they effect print speed, and the caveats to look …

3D Printing with Ninjaflex
I’m officially in a project now. A quest to have a collection of 3D printed chess sets that each has a reason for being, either because the design is amazing or to show off a cool plastic, or both. This has given those rolls of exotic materials that I’ve had around since forever a reason for existing. How long will …
Precious Plastics, a good idea that falls a little short
This is a cool idea. Simple machines that enable home recycling of thermoplastics. A grinder, an exturder, an injection molder, and a, uh, molder, non injection style. Very cool stuff. And to make it better these guys are releasing the files open sourced do that anyone can make these machines for only a few hundred dollars each. Well what am …
Inserting objects into 3D prints
The topic of this video came from a recent project I did for work. They wanted some fancy camera stands, like the one I had for my camera, and I decided to whip them up. Each stand only costs about $4 in parts… plus a 3D printer and design time, but I didn’t charge for those since I did most …
New intro for the YouTube Channel
Despite being only about a minute long the editing on this video was intense. It was another one that I’ve had the footage for for a while but couldn’t edit until just now. It was made specifically to be an better intro to the channel than the old intro to the channel. You know, stepping up my game ‘n all.
