This video was a special request from a YouTube comment by Ryotaiku to do Hena from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This model was downloaded from www.zeldacapital.com/3d.php and I show you how to pose the model in Blender. I’m always looking for my next challenge so leave a comment!

Rubicon 3D Scanner
It was a long time ago I back the Rubicon 3D Scanner on kickstarter. Delays are to be expected with kickstarters. But finally it delivered. Setup was easy, the software wasn’t too bad, calibration was well documented. Drivers were a bit hard to find the download link for, but not too bad after that. After that it was time to grab …
3D printing and cosplay
I know I mentioned this before, didn’t I? A while ago I did some prints for a guy making a General Zod costume. Didn’t I mention that? Can’t find where I mentioned that. Anyways, by happenstance I ran across Eric Browning wearing his completed Zod costume this weekend at the Salt Lake Gaming Con. If I may say those 300 …
Modeling a Puzzle of Evil
I’m sure you don’t want to hear about the massive technical problems I had making this video that forced me to re-record this same content 5 times before finally settling on this. But I’m going to tell you anyways because that’s what this blog is for. Originally there was going to be a cut to the print, full screen, at …
That’s a lot of filament
A local 3D printing supply company was liquidating some of their PLA filament. I managed to get a dozen rolls of filament and some XTC for way cheap. There’s a chance this filament is off spec or will change color, but it’s so cheap that even if I only get a few prints per roll I’ll still be making off …
3D printed L Bracket Drawer Repair
The particle board behind my daughters drawer did what particle board does over time. So instead of running to the store to get some L brackets to fix it I decided to try 3D printing them. Learning from last time I decided to search Yeggi first. Couldn’t find exactly what I wanted, though I did find an interesting project, so …
Food Safe Video
Whenever someone comes up with a 3d printed food cutter or kitchen utensil someone has to ask if it’s food safe. So I decided to contact the Food and Drug Administration and ask them. The answer surprised me. I thought the little little crack in 3D prints would cause a problem because of bacteria growth, but what I was told …
Smoothing PLA part 1
ABS smooths easy. Easy to get acetone in a container with your print, heat it up if you don’t want to wait very long, and you’re done. But I discovered PLA is not so easy to smooth, and there’s a lot of conflicting information online. I heard someone say MEK and MEK substitute works just like acetone on PLA. I …
A squishy friend for the portfolio
I realized my thing portfollio needed an example of a ninjaflex print, so I made a squishy Yog Soggoth. I don’t know why it amuses me so much to have a flexible lovecraft flying spaghetti monster, but it does.
PTFE thermal tube liners – Good, Bad, and Garbage
When I upgraded my extruder the new assembly came with a little part that made a big change, PTFE (teflon) thermal barrier tube liners, a small tube that the plastic feed through before hitting the hot end. In theory these tubes served two purposes. First, they prevented the plastic from sticking as it went through the feed assembly, resulting in …
