Watch on YouTube https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3dpprofessor/printaquest In this video, I’m tired of hearing that I can’t do the very thing I’m currently doing. Not only can FDM print minis, but more minis should be designed for FDM 3D printing because it will result in more successful prints, no matter the process. In this video I debunk the myth that FDM 3D printing …
Slant3D Review
Watch on YouTube One goal for PrintAQuest is to provide physical copies of the game for people who don’t have 3D printers.

Best 3D Printed Board Game
Watch on YouTube PrintAQuest is the best game ever. Or is it? I judge 3D printed board games to see which one is the best. Follow along with the list on Polymaker’s blog and then check out their filament. If I’m being totally honest, I don’t think anyone at Polymaker actually vetted this list before putting it up there.

STEP files are not good for 3D printing
Watch on YouTube Often when discussing 3D printing file format, there is a vocal minority insisting that we should all abandon STL for STEP.

Here’s a play through a a test level we’ve made for PrintAQuest. My plan when recording this video was to release it after the kickstarter started. But while editing it I realized I had made …
STL vs 3MF Round 2
Watch on YouTube Why are we still using STL when 3MF exists? Turns out a lot has changed since last exploring this question. At this point I’m basically asking anyone in the comments to say “What about STEP files” to release the cut content as it’s own video. I’ve basically only got the video for PrintAQuest left to record. I …
Bed Slingers are a bad idea and need to be stopped
Watch on YouTube In the early days of 3D printing a simple idea would simplify the design and enable easier and cheaper making. Not to mention saving on shipping. But as 3D printing as grown it seems bed slingers has become a bad idea that needs to be thrown off a cliff. A little behind the scenes trivial for you. …
Chess or Quest – Vote for the next 3DPP Project
Watch on YouTube Cast your vote on YouTube I can not tell you how hard it was to stay objective in this video and not try to influence the vote. Because I know which one of these I’d choose. In preparation for this video I needed to come up with a thumbnail for both of these kickstarter projects. Partially because …
