I’m printing a job of a character holding a staff at various sizes. At 2″ tall the model prints fine. A little larger, it’s fine. But jump to 6 inches tall and the prints failed repeatedly. I tried everything. I made the staff thicker. more shells, added supports (manually), brought the printer in doors. No matter what I did the …
Sailor Moon Pendant Project Part 1 video
If that preview picture isn’t the most disturbing thing you’ve seen today, you must have had a real bad day. Editing this video was delayed because apparently there was one frame at the end of the intro that stopped premier from rendering it. Days lost to figuring that out. This video was recorded before Christmas, and before the last video. …
14 things every 3D printer owner needs to have
That title isn’t too pandery, is it? I mean it’s not entirely inaccurate. This video is all about things every 3D printer owner really should have, but probably didn’t come in the box. My recent expereinces with a new 3D printer gave me reason to come up with this list. Print bed scraper – There are options for this one. Toybuilder …
Wood Wars 3D update
I know it’s been a long time. In case anyone was wondering, Wood Wars 3D is not dead. It’s just in that long tale of polish that as anyone who’s made things knows can eat up a ton of time. But I’ve been dedicating time to it and it’s nearly ready for a big reveal. But before that reveal, here’s …
TARDIS Run intro video
This has been a long time coming. It involved: Updating the old version of the board Creating and testing a new version that prints in parts Updating the rules Modeling the war and 12th doctors Adding another monster so that they were balanced with the number of Doctors Recording and editing a video about it Uploading the updated and new …
When you can’t find the right size, make it
Framing pictures is a pain, especially when the frame is too thin or the picture is too thick and you just can’t find the right size of clips at the hobby store. Oh, wait. I can make anything I want, any size I want. Viola. The colors are off because I did them in 2 batches, one to be sure …
FlashForge Creator Pro first experience
Got a new toy at the workbench. It’s a loaner that I only get to keep for a few weeks to set it up for a client, but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to get some hands on time with the FlashForge Creator Pro. This is one of the printers on my short list to replace …
Pinshape’s Guide to Food Safe Prints
If my last video about food safe 3D prints seems a little slanted towards “Yeah, do it”, then Pinshape’s 3D printing food safe article should provide the balance you need. In it they even cover things that I didn’t and in the end I feel like they make it easy to make the right decision in the future. https://blog.pinshape.com/3d-printing-food-safe/
After the editing disaster that was the last video I sorted it out. the encoding problem and decided to give this video a short intro at the beginning and a time lapse of the print at the end. Unfortunately the edited video was crap for quality so I just went with the usual one take video, which I have to pat …
Fixing the Rubicon
So far the Rubicon is the best scanner for capturing the shape of an object, if not the scale. But shortly after the my last post about their latest software the table stopped turning without significant effort. To figure it out I disassembled the table. I discovered the motor turned just fine. So I could rule out a locked up …
