Busy week, big news, no video

It’s not that I didn’t want to make a video this week. I tried, I really did. This video was ambitious, both in topic, editing, and what’s it may end up meaning. Lost a whole day editing it. Even reshot some stuff, which I never do. But the final result was… icky poo to the ears. I’m going to have …

DRM Free sale, and a rant about DRM

Packt, publisher of my book 3D Printing Blueprints is doing a stupid good sale on e-books. So go check it out. I wish I had known today’s day against DRM was coming so I could prepare a video for it, because there’s a video I’ve wanted to prepare for a long time about the subject. But since time is short …

Joe’s Makerbot will now be Joe’s 3D Workbench

Joe’s Makerbot is now Joe’s 3D Workbench. http://joes3dworkbench.blogspot.com/ This has been a long time coming. I avoided it for many technical reasons, but I now feel it’s time. Joe’s Makerbot (this blog) will remain with it’s history and posts, but I will no longer be updating it. From now on all posts related to making, designing, and teaching will be on …

New website and facebook page for the book

Busy day. First thing to report is I finally got off my rump, registered learn3dprintingblueprints.com, which is a bit longer than I wanted but squatters these days, and made a web site for it including that video I made a while back. Secondly, 3D Printing Blueprints also has a facebook page. If you could go and like it that would …

Finished a video for the book.

New video for 3D Printing Blueprints. I’ll have a web site for the book soon and this’ll be a major fixture. Apparently the book is also getting some reviews on Amazon and GoodReads. It’s been a slow ball to get rolling, but hopefully this’ll help. Doing a video, even a really short one, isn’t easy. It’s actually a lot of …
