How much did I spend on Facebook ads and how much did they make? Take a peek behind the curtain and find out. TL;DR – I made less on …
Flashforge Adventurer 5X AD5X Second Look
Watch on YouTube The thumbnail image is an edit of “the death of Socrates” because this is a hill I will die on. I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again, flashforge is one of the only companies that I would be willing to accept a full ride sponsorship from. I haven’t felt this way about a company since pre-Stratasys …
Using AI to generate art for PrintAQuest
Watch on YouTube Join the mailing list and never miss anything important. There’s no way one person could be talented enough to make a whole board game experience themselves, right?

3D Print Farm Showdown
Watch on YouTube There are so many parts of this video that I love. Like the Lulzbot 3D silent card treatment and “OH MY GOSH” from across the room” moment. Will that translate to views? Only time will tell. And speaking of time, there sure is a lot of it in this video. I don’t normally let a video run …
Debunking “FDM can’t 3D print minis”
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.

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. I mean …
PrintAQuest for the Blind
Watch on YouTube Unlike other forms of media, tabletop games, with their tactile experience, give visualy impaired players a unique way to interact. In this video we look at how PrintAQuest could be modified for the blind. The kickstarter is still going well and continues to grow. You all have gone past 3 stretch goals, and I’m good and behind …
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. And I am here to say “NO!” I suspect there may come a day when generative AI will be capable of turning mesh data into STEP data. And on that day I mourn for the death …
PrintAQuest Preview
Watch on YouTube As the PrintAQuest kickstarter comes ever nearer I wanted to give everyone a preview of the game you can look forward to.
