I make a lot of plastic impression stamps. But I’ve never made one out of ninjaflex until now. Does it work? Actually, yeah, more than I expected anyways. The top finish isn’t quite as smooth as a traditional stamp, it works best if you put something soft under the paper to add some flex and increase coverage, the lettering turned …
Root Beer Hangle project Video
I’ll admit to cheating a bit with this week’s video. This is a video I put together for my portfolio. So go there to learn more about this video.
3D Printed Belt
You know the problem with 3D printing a belt buckle and weaving your own belt? After a a year of wear this happens. Of course there is an advantage. The next one is going to be made with duct tape.
What you see ain’t always what you get
I printed the Zheng mini defender, partially to test it for Wood Wars 3D. The print looked good. But it fired less good. I think the problem was the filament I used was drooly so the delivery mechanism didn’t move easily enough. However I also wasn’t sure what to string it with. I used floss. And the legs broke whilepositioning …
New video and so much more
I took last week off from reporting and videos, but I wasn’t any less busy because of it. Most of my focus right now is printing copies of Wood Wars and working on some art assets and rules, as well as a project mentioned briefly in this week’s video that I will tell you more about as it gets closer …
Where shall I go for stuff?
2 years ago there was only 1 home for 3D printable stuff. The world kaotao’d the mighty thingiverse. But it seems like every month I’m learning about a new repository popping up, and I’m starting to like some of them. So here’s a run down of the the marketplaces for 3D printable files that I know of and a personal …
Solving 50 cent problems with 3D printing
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. I don’t mention it in the video, but the big boys don’t need to worry about sacrificial towers, but they do have to worry about shell settings.
