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 …

How to make a limited edition Happy Meal Toy with Blender and Bambulabs AMS 3D Printing
Watch on YouTube 1 hour. It honestly took me all of 1 hour to model this character. Less than an hour, actually. Grimace also only took about an hour. Birdie and Hamburgler were all day affairs, but this one and Grimace were only 1 hour. And to be fair I was making these designs from an existing design, and I …
Kingroon KP3S Pro, Pro S1, and S1 Sliceworx review and Upgrading
Watch on YouTube If you look carefully on the editing Joe footage, I’ve got my mic blocking the ironing board. Cheap tactics so I don’t have to green screen. This video took a lot more effort to put together than it should have, and now that I’m looking at it, it’s kind of all over the place. Two rants in …
How to add a mounting hole in a scale model in Blender
Watch on YouTube On the one hand, I should have practiced doing this once before hitting record. That way I would have known the peg thing wouldn’t have worked. But then again, you all wouldn’t have gotten to see me struggle and course correct. And in some ways I want the real-ness of that to be what this second channel …
