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 …
Gearbest Doesn’t Suck video
https://youtu.be/QG39LbT6QxA For the record, everything about this thumbnail makes me uncomfortable. I posted this a day early because, while I’m showing Gearbest some love, I didn’t think this was the right video for a Valentines day upload. But come back here tomorrow. This is a video I wanted to get out before doing any videos that promote items sent to …
Full Color in Tinkercad Video
https://youtu.be/ly0UQS2HaRo I could take this opportunity to talk about a lot of different things. I could talk about the on-screen keys utility that I’m using, and I do want to know if anyone noticed that and if it helped. I could talk about my relationship with XYZ Printing where, in exchange for a Davinci color I am contractually obligated me …
