The pad on our GameCube controller fell off and was lost revealing a sharp edge that cut into my thumb while we played Wind Waker. So I had the great idea of covering it in Oogoo, pressing a little mould in, and letting it set. There was going to be this whole post about it and I was all excited. …
Wanted to make everyone aware of 2 new contests with grand prizes of 3D printers. If you don’t have a 3D printer now’s the time to win one. MyMiniFactory is running another contest. Create something with a Christmas or Endangered Animals theme, upload it, and hope you get the most downloads. Grand prize winner gets an Ultimaker. You have until …
Ever since I started offering custom soap stamps in my Etsy store I have been lousy with orders for them. Not that I mind. TARDIS ring sales have dropped off lately but these have picked up the slack nicely. Who knew there were so many people making home made soap? So if things seem a bit slow around here, if …
Thank you to everyone who voted for me in the MyMiniFactory contest. Unfortunately I did not win, however the set that did win is one that I voted for myself, so I don’t feel back about losing. I am still planning on having the contest, unfortunately I won’t be able to offer a 3D printer, but I can offer a copy …
No, really, I want to know. There is a short M3 bolt (that is the right name for the bolts that are all over the Makerbot, right) sitting at the bottom of my build area and… I have no idea where it came from. Everything I can see is still screwed in. Anyone know where this might have come from? …
Shogi is a cool game that I’ve always admired. If you capture an opponent piece you can add it to your army on your turn. How cool is that! However the fact that traditional sets are written with Japanese characters make it hard for new players to be willing to climb the learning curve. So I made this set with …
I knew that Bre Pettis (founder and CEO of Makerbot) got what I was doing with TARDIS Run. He’s the only one who commented on it when I finally posted it. But besides him and I it didn’t seem like anyone else got it. The Thingiverse PTB didn’t see fit to feature it and there’s no other comments. Thanks to …
A little while back I did a little experiment, live streaming on Justin.tv a modeling session so you can see me do my thing. . This one was a piece for Just Game. Find out more about them at https://www.facebook.com/justgamecompany or http://justgamehome.com/. I’ve held off sharing it here until I could offer a time-lapsed version in case you didn’t want to …
MetaChess was one of my entries into the Makerbot/Tinkercad Chess challenge that won me my Makerbot and changed my life. Even figured out rules how this chess-on-chess game would play. However until now I’ve never tried printing it. (Funny thing is I love chess pieces, but I don’t play the game very often. Well now I’ve printed it and… clearly …
New video for 3D Printing Blueprints. I’ll have a web site for the book soon and this’ll be a major fixture. Apparently the book is also getting some reviews on Amazon and GoodReads. It’s been a slow ball to get rolling, but hopefully this’ll help. Doing a video, even a really short one, isn’t easy. It’s actually a lot of …
