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. I hope that’s okay with everyone. This is Wood Wars 3D. I realize I haven’t done a super good job conveying the idea that’s been in my head this …

Modeling a Cyclist pawn video

A little something different this week, a time lapse of modeling and printing a project. This week I finally model the winning entry from the STAB JOE contest. Lots of links this week: Winning STAB JOE entry Download link on PinShape or YouMagine Tarang Hardikar’s Cadence game Wood Wars Mailing list

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 …

Introducing the Joenny

It’s actually been a pretty busy week, but nothing’s done enough to report on it. This should really wait a few days until I post part 3, but so that I have something between last week’s video and tomorrow’s video let me tell you about the Joenny. The Joenny is one of those Do-It-Yourself toys, only this one takes it …

Modeling a 3D printed mini part 6 Video

A video on Tuesday? You bet. Playing with the upload day to see if earlier in the week is better in any measurable way. The technical problems of last time persist, but this one finishes strong with a print time lapse and a follow up chat. With good lighting. You can download the finished model for yourself on PinShape and …

Wood Wars progress update

In a word, Wood Wars is coming along nicely. The base armies are compete, but there’s still so much to do. I’m working on writing the rules so play tesing can begin in earnest. I’m gathering data on manufacturing costs and researching how exactly to have a successful kickstarter. I keep getting asked the question of if I’m going to …

Modeling a Mini Part 5 video

I was really hoping to wrap this series up with this video, but it’s going to go one longer. This video also answers the question of who won the STAB JOE contest. So tune in if you want to find out if you won. It wouldn’t be a Joe’s 3D Workbench video if it didn’t have technical problems. In this …
