Watch on YouTube For those who skip my short videos, you’re missing out on the development process of that awesome angel mecha. I realized every piece has a story, so I thought I’d put together little videos telling those stories. Of course, 1 minute is not nearly long enough to tell a good story and I find my rambling self …
What’s Thang’s up to? An interview with Dennis DeMeyere of Thangs
Watch on YouTube They cynical might say that this is standard CFO speak, that Dennis is very good at saying what should be said. But I think Thangs’ actions bear out the rhetoric, and that’s where it matters. But, I still don’t like to use Thangs myself. It feels like a tool made for someone else, and I think in …
Sovol Sv07 Review Video
Watch on YouTube I filmed this video entirely on my phone. I was hoping to be able to quickly edit it. But I think the video quality isn’t quite as good this way. We’ll see if I get any complaints. I will say, I like the wifi delivery on this machine. Big ups to the Klipper interface on it, it …
A Complete History of PrintABlok… for now
On my discord, user Pranatic asked: How do you decide what [printablok] (sets) to make? To which I said “The short answer is ‘whatever I feel like’. The long answer… well, the long answer could be a 10 minute video all by itself.” I just don’t know if it would be a video anyone would watch. But in case that video …
This new PrintABlok is going to change everything Video
Watch on YouTube It took way too long to make that animation of the ball being constructed. The timing is always the hardest part. It always seems like it takes way more frames of animation than it should. I start with “600 frames should just about do it”, but in the end it was nearly 1000 more. Hopefully it convey …
3D Printing sucks and needs to be easier
Watch on YouTube This is another one of those videos that came about because a review went south. The printer that Polo Cloud was made for is actually a good printer. But the app is so bad that this was the only thing I could do with it. A message of warning to others and hope for the future. PrintABlok …
Making Magic with the Mingda Magician X2
Watch on YouTube When I look back, it’s been a long time since I uploaded, but it doesn’t feel like it’s been a long time. Maybe that’s because there’s been three or four concurrent projects I’ve been working on and like lobsters in a bucket, they’re doing more to get in each other’s way than to moving themselves forward. That’s …
Kokoni Sota 3D Live on Kickstarter, but is it another scam?
Watch on Youtube You know, I figure if they can make a marketing video full of exaggerated examples of what’s possible, I can make a click-baity thumbnail. I feel like they’d understand. I felt like I needed to make this video because of my previous one. I said some things in that video that were wrong on my part and …
What is the most honest 3D printer company
Watch on YouTube The worst thing about this video is it’ll only take one thing, one major faux pas from any of the companies I listed and the whole video is invalid. There was one 3D printer company that I really wanted to include in this list. You probably know the one. The thing is, after careful consideration, the fact …
Sovol SV06 Plus Showcase
Watch on YouTube As this is a sponsored video (my first actually), there were things I had to make the conscious choice not to mention. For instance, I chose not to compare it to other 3D printers in the video. Fortunately, that’s what the blog is for. So where does the SV06 Plus fall on the Ultimate 3D Printer Comparison …
