In this picture the 5 in a star are the 3D printed copies of the other one that’s the original. This is another project you know I did not come pu with myself. This is a piece for an automatic weaving loom. A very little piece. But being so little they’re easy to lose. This is the loom. And on …
Game Pencil Box Video
I like these project videos. I mean, I’m doing the projects already, so just record the experience and make a video. I hope you like them too. MyMiniFactory is experimenting with a new TV channel thing, and as much as I’d like to endorse it more fully there are a couple of things it lacks. Mostly it doesn’t record my …
The last build plate I’ll ever want?
At this point every build plate I have has chipped. Glad build plate are turning into a bit of a consumable for me. A better solution has got to be out there. So once again I turned to the experts on the Google groups and someone suggested a metal build plate. So I went to a local meal shop of …
Sacrificial Towers and Shell Settings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfCtAMZmofc This week’s regular video is a simple tip video for getting the most of your 3D printer’s prints by using sacrificial towers and proper shell settings.

Wood Wars 3D Intro Video and Contest Announcement
A second video in the same week? Well, there’s a good reason for this one. But, yes, my video content has been increasing while my text content has severely dropped off.

Successfully printing flexy
The mod to my bot to make my bot flexible friendly was successful. Of course printing ninjaflex also means slowing down, way down, from what I’m used to. But it works. So I printed a model that had long, tall sections, and learned that flexible prints need to be… sturdy. It’s kind of a no brainier now that I know …
Adding text to existing objects video
Not much to add on this one. It pretty much says it all. I’ve been busy lately, but with little report. My portfolio has gotten a boost this week, but mostly I’ve been working on Wood Wars. I don’t want to overload you all with Wood Wars updates here, but if you want to know the important stuff be sure …

3D Printing Mod and Repair
I approached PinShape when they changed focus towards designs for home 3D printers and they agreed to partner for a few videos. This partnership allowed me to afford a new camera, so no more chunky pixels when talking at the workbench. From now on it’s 1080p all the way down. Of course I also learned just how long it takes …
