I should really up my production standards. Not that this is my worst video in terms of audio or video. Despite being recorded on the heels of my last review, you can tell, I didn’t even try to hide it, the camera is well focused, where as in that last video it wasn’t. But that’s not what I’m talking about. …
New safety videos for the St. George Maker Space
New Laser Cutter Safety Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ6U1lTSD_Q Edited 3D Printer Safety Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4RtH1QNO5k This is big week for me. If I get a video out on Friday, that will be, technically, 5 videos this week. Okay, one of those videos is a minor edit of a video I previously uploaded for the Maker Space, but it still needed to be opened up in …
JGAurora A5 Review – March MadMess Video
https://youtu.be/QXjyd6q1F2o Notice the Tower of Pi in this video? On Pi day? Yeah, that’s the best I can do. I wanted to have a pi vase, fill it with pecans, and look at the camera and go “Ehhhhh?” This review hurts. It really, really hurts. No only may this be the end of my career as a 3D printer reviewer, …
TronXY X5S Review – March MadMess
https://youtu.be/G4x2Eftoy-o Technically, this is a Monday upload. I’m going for 3 this week. Special thanks to my friends at MeltInk who supplemented this printer gift with a roll of cyan PLA. I hope you’ll check them out. In the book “Makers” by Chris Anderson, it’s proposed that making is a uniquely human experience. No other animal on the Earth will …
The real problem with the CR-10mini Video
https://youtu.be/9LkCALCJvXI Get a CR-10mini for $350 on GearBest when you use the coupon code cr10mini3d, or buy it on Amazon. I did promise in my March MadMess introduction video that these reviews would be rapidly produced. I hope that doesn’t result in an unwatchable video. It doesn’t help that there’s not much to say about the CR-10mini. It’s cheaper and …
Announcing March MadMess and what to expect when buying from overseas
https://youtu.be/SHtNNIdyr2U You like that TRON clock? I sure do. Having a laser cutter has opened my world and rest assured there will be an episode this month about the laser cutter I’m using. (Full Spectrum Laser Muse, by the way) I noticed some mistakes in the design of my clock that I’m going to have to fix before I upload …
Neva review video, AKA why heated build plates matter
Click for video: https://youtu.be/it-wNmk7_jE Like I said in the video, it’s funny the things I forget when I don’t take notes and read from them. The Dagoma Neva is an okay 3D printer. It’s definitely bold. It might even be a great printer but for one thing it’s missing. One thing that makes me hesitant to give it a more positive …
Color modeling for 3D printing in Blender Part 1 video
Click for video: https://youtu.be/-kziK1XM9PY Download the colored Suzanne model here: https://3d-gallery.xyzprinting.com/en-US/model-detail/201802287872084 Adding color to your 3D models in Blender is so simple. Can Fusion 360 do this? No seriously, I’m asking because I don’t know. Notice the key capture in the corner? Do you like it? Does it help? My Davinci color continues to impress and frustrate me. When it’s working good, …
How to make $1000 a month with 3D printing video
https://youtu.be/1v5HHak-9-Q The iceberg image was created by Sylvia Duckworth. You can buy your own to hang on the wall at her shop: https://sylviaduckworth.shop/ To say that this video was difficult to produce would be an understatement. And not just because the content is uncomfortable. My first good recording of it, I didn’t use my mic, so I lost all the audio …
Makerspace 3D Printing Safety video
https://youtu.be/OVc4P4F2flY I still don’t get to choose my thumbnails for these videos. This video was made so that I can stop doing the 3D printing training in the makerspace manually, and features one of the more coordinated edits at the 2:14 mark that I’ve ever had to do. Chances are if I didn’t point that out here, no one would …
