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 …
3D Printing project – Rotary Tumbler Insert Video
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 …
