Creality Ender 5 Five Minute Review
Watch on YouTube The Ender 5, as I said, is a good printer and could actually be recommended by me. However, I can’t ever recommend every printer in every case.

The Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Using Blender to Model for 3D printing Part 2 – Moving Objects
Watch on YouTube Yup, this is still kind of just an outline right now. Finding time to flesh it out has been, difficult. But consider this a preview for another book.

Sneak Peek at my Magnum Opus – World of Chibimals Video

Genmitsu CNC Router From SaingSmart Review in 5 minutes

Modeling a Spider on Monday Modeling Twitch Live Stream
Watch on Twitch.tv This morning’s Monday Modeling livestream was the most successful I’ve had, from a scheduling, technical, and modeling perspective. It started on time, ran through my home network and the sound didn’t cut out or anything (there was a small hiccup with the connection at the start, but that seemed to get straightened out after a minute), and …
3D Scanning with the $600 Sol Scanner from Scan Dimensions
Watch on YouTube This is why I have to get out more. You only meet cool people like the ones at scan dimensions when you get out of the house. Remember, if I don’t say “I recommend it”, I’m probably being nice, but I don’t think you should have one. Not so with the Sol Scanner. This scanner I can …
Best Starter Electronics and Arduino Kits Review Video

Learn Electronics for Free at your local Washington County Library
Watch on YouTube I am excited to announce that Arduino kits are now available at the Libraries in Washington County. As a video for the library, this may be a bit rapidly produced, but it doesn’t diminish my excitement for these kits.
