Doggonnit. Cut off the top of my head. Ah well. As I continue to work with this plastic I’m really enjoying it. But I still have stringies to deal with. Still, if I take that into account and print models one at a time the results are really good. One thing I forgot to mention about rPET is the flexibility …
Worst news ever.
Update: So this desperate cry for attention apparently worked and they have a backer and now they’re not going to disappear. Why do I feel a bit let down? I should be ecstatic about this. https://pinshape.com/goodbye I know I just posted something else here, but this news literally just came to me directly from Pinshape’s staff, and this is not …
Doctors have an FDM printer that produces powder prints from sloppy PLA!
Without a doubt, this is touching. Those fancy 3D ultrasounds to 3D prints have been around for a while. But I can’t help being hung up on the fact that at 2:04 we’re seeing what is clearly a sloppy FDM printer, that at 2:14 is dripping plastic like it’s PLA, and then at 2:16 they’re cleaning off the powder SLS …

10 Cold Hard Truths about owning a 3D printer.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/wLJhfhrVK2U Finally back to editing, and what do you all get? Bad lighting and jaring jump cuts. Let’s hope the content makes up for it. After my last listicle video did so well, and inspired by a similar video by Tony D, I decided to tackle what I though were the truths about 3D printing that people don’t generally want …
Blender Boolean Shenanigans Video – Flipped Normals
This is a topic that someone needed a quick answer to, so I threw this together in abut an hour. No planning. No editing. But I’ve finally answered a question that is super common when using Blender. Well, I’ve half answered it. There’s also the problem of exactly overlapping geometry and sometimes it just won’t work no matter what you …

My designs were stolen and sold on eBay
I’m sorry it’s been a while. Things have been happening and I’ll tell you more about them next week, but I had to get this video out quickly because I’ve been a victim of the eBay 3D rip off scandal, and I’m not happy about it. But not for the reason you may think. If you haven’t heard about this …
Introducting the Thingfolio
Naming things apparently isn’t one of my strengths. So bear with me as I introduce to you… The thingfolio. On the outside is just a fuzzy lunchbox with a zebra stripe pattern and the name of my design company. And on the inside… there’s examples of 3D printing and designs that I can offer including figures, customized products and stamps, …
Sailor Moon Pendant Project part 2 Video
So here’s my excuse to talk about finishing PLA prints while I finish the Sailor Moon pendant. I pretty much say it all in the video. I’ve tried MEK, tetrahydrofuran and even hardcore nail polish remover. The workbench went from smelling like a hair salon to smelling like a nail salon for a week. And after it all the only …
