Unhollowing an object for 3D printing using Blender video

Watch on YouTube This video started as a quest for help on the 3D printing Tips and Tricks Google Group run by the guy who has the 3D Printing Today Podcast. What I told the user asking on that post was all they needed to do was: Import the hollowed 3D model into blender. Locate the drip hole, usually a …

Creality K1 Review

Watch on YouTube The Creality K1 really has become a part of the gamily. Honestly, the only thing holding it back from being a contender for a Bambu killer is the fact that it can’t do multi color. But that’s it. I love printing from the app. I love printing from the USB stick (something Bambu could learn from). My …

Why I don’t want to 3D print for you Video

Watch on YouTube Production of this video was an experiment in producing a video at the makerspace and… I don’t know if I’ll do it again. Not just because my phone camera has a bad habit of refocusing frequently, but the sound in the makerspace is really dirty, even when the 3D printers and laser cutters aren’t doing anything there’s …

I was wrong about Bambu AMS dying after only 1 year

Watch on YouTube Let’s see if a video that doesn’t give ammunition to the haters gets as much traction. In the video i say that my Ender criticism was recieved only middling, but that’s compared to the AMS video. Truth is, that video was my best performing video for a while before the AMS criticism video. People like criticism. But …

One weird question is changing my life

Watch on YouTube My last real video about Bambu is pulling some gangbuster numbers, and I don’t get it. I criticize Creality and I get pretty good numbers. I criticize Bambu and my view numbers go up an order of magnitude. I guess Bambu is the one to hate on these days. And I guess if I were a good …

Bambu AMS Upgrade gone wrong

Watch on YouTube I think a lot of people’s expectations for both what Bambu’s printers will do, and what Bambu themselves will do when it breaks down is a little lofty. What I find interesting is on the other side when Ender 3 owners have to be told to contact support. It’s amazing to me the different expectations that come …

What’s the Best 3D Printer for Beginners?

Watch on YouTube When I made the X-Maker video a few weeks back, I said that the X-Maker was splitting the vote with the Adventurer 3, but thinking about it more, I feel that the Adventurer 3 and the X-Maker are really made for different audiences altogether. Instead I realized it’s competing more with the ToyBox, and I’m not really …

Ender 3 S1 Pro Review – Not for beginners

Watch on YouTube If you’re thinking about getting an Ender 3, the thing you need to know is while the price is right, it’s a poorly documented machine and lacks a lot of the features that make other 3D printers much easier to use. Fortunately there’s lots of other options. For instance: The Flashforge Adventurer 3 for $289 is well …

PrintABlok Connectors have been upgraded again!

Watch on YouTube Hasty made video is hasty. Hence why this blog post is going to be brief. I wasn’t kidding when I said I had hundreds of blocks to reexport and reupload everywhere. But it’s all good. Though, I maybe working on a few other things in the meanwhile. I’ve still got a few (physical) rewards to deliver, but …
