This week I model and print the coin from the video game CarnEvil. If you have something you’d like to see made real with 3D printing, be sure to post a comment.

Arrow of Light Holder
Not every 3D print will change the world. Some will simply bear our accomplishments for the world to see. You can download the arrow display hook on YouMagine.
Manufacturing Wood Wars 3D part 1
Last week I set about to find out how many Wood Wars 3D sets 1 3D printer can produce. I always estimated it as 1 set per day, but I didn’t have any hard data. Spoilers, I may have overestimated. Day 1 I manged to start 3 sets and get one of them almost completed. I was using dual printing …
Which way is Z
Since my last post here I had a good first day on the Wood Wars 3D kickstarter… and not much else happen the rest of the week dispite my best efforts to push it forward. So I’ve dropped the kickstarter efforts for now. Which gives me more time for regular videos like this:
Wood Wars 3D is live on Kickstarter!
It’s been a lot of work so far, but the Kickstarter for Wood Wars 3D is finally live on Kickstarter. Check it out and spread the word. The more the merrier: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/834808051/wood-wars-3d
A physical portfolio
If I were clever I’d come up with a clever name for this. Port-thing-io? Physfolio? Eh. It’s a lunchbox with stuff in it. And like any good portfolio its contents will change depending on whom I’m showing it to, but the chessbot is probably a staple. The wow factor. My goal is to keep this with me to show local …
MakerClub’s Alphabet Bracelet
Gotta admit, I’ve been watching Maker Club’s Alphabet Bracelet project on my news feed but I’ve mostly glossed over it. Until today. This, right there, is why I am telling you about this project right now. A fully FFFriendly locking joint. That is working within the confines of of the medium and producing something brilliant. You can download the alphabet …
Literally reinventing the wheel.
Our dishwasher rack slipped and fel against the heating element melting one of the wheels so my wife suggested I fix this with 3D printing like I’ve done before. So flexing my manly mouse pushing muscles I loaded up Blender and started modeling, scratching my head about what concessions I would have to make to have it print without supports …
DRM Free sale, and a rant about DRM
Packt, publisher of my book 3D Printing Blueprints is doing a stupid good sale on e-books. So go check it out. I wish I had known today’s day against DRM was coming so I could prepare a video for it, because there’s a video I’ve wanted to prepare for a long time about the subject. But since time is short …
The ultimate vanity object
Or ultimate heirloom. This was made by taking a scan of my wife with a Kinect and editing it. When printing I changed filament and then smoothed the print. The scannect doesn’t take a lot of details, so this is a less detailed cameos, but it works okay. I learned something when making this. The cameo is ABS, the setting …
