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 …
How I stole the Clug and why I don’t feel bad about it
Okay, full disclosure, I do feel a little bad about it. But hopefully you’ll see why I’m not beating myself up about it. A friend pointed me to a kickstarter for a bike holder called the clug. It was a cool idea. But the reason it showed up on my radar is because they 3D printed the prototypes and if …
Modeling a 3D Printed Mini Part 4 – Posing
This week’s video is the next step in making a 3D printing game piece. It’s really starting to take shape and next week we’ll finish it off with accessories. You’ve only got a week left to STAB JOE and get a 3D printed mini of your own.
Dentist office gas hook
Hot on the heels of solving a problem in the optometrist office, now I’ve got a solution for a similar problem my dentist office, too. In their offices the happy gas breather thing didn’t have an official home. The techs and assistants were trying all sorts of things to store it but it usually was on the ground where it …
Wood Wars Boar
It took 2 hours to make the boar head and I’m guessing it took as long to make the rest of them. Probably more for the elk. Don’t know why I mention that. I just want it documented somewhere how long it takes to do this sort of work, not that I didn’t love every minute of it. The gang’s …
3D Printed knitting machine cast off needle
Apparently the 3D bent yarn needle project my mother asked me to do was a success. Honestly this isn’t something I would have thought of myself. And as I said before I probably should have just told my mother to use a heat gun and a tin can when she asked if I could do produce with 3D printing a …
Modeling a gaming mini Part 3 – Blender Sculpt Tools
Not much to say about this one, which is good because it’s long. Sculpting is not a quick process. You can win a gaming mini for yourself when you STAB JOE on facebook.
