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 …
Wood Wars mailing list
Want to be updated on Wood Wars 3D progress? Sign up here to learn more. If you’ve been following this blog you already know that my big project right now is Wood Wars and it’s quickly coming to a head. So I’ve decided to put together a mailing list. That means that while I may reference the mailing list here …
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 …
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 …
