Interview with PRINTSYST

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16DN1MWIbf8 When Eitan contacted me about an interview, I was like “Yeah, sure, let’s chat”. Of course he was doing it because they have a product they’re trying to push, but it’s also clear that they are true fans of 3D printing and Eitan was genuinely delighted to speak with me. But this video he produced makes me envious. Honestly, …

Low Poly Dinos on the Adafruit Live Stream

35:41 in the video above, Noe and Pedro Ruiz show off the dual colored low poly model that they printed and give a shout out to the Low Poly Dino kickstarter as well. (Thanks guys!) And in just a few hours I’ll be popping into the Adafruit show-and-tell livestream to show off more dinos. So I hope you’ll join me …

They’re talking about me again!

The cynical side of me knows that interviews are just a way to drive traffic to their blog or web site. But the ego driven side of me loves it when I get to take center stage so much that I just don’t care. Check it out, inov3D did an interview with me! You can find out about my humble …

My last day as a substitute teacher and my first Maker Fair

So, first things first, thanks to the makerspace where I’m now full time, I’ll be going to the Bay Area Maker Fair this weekend. I’ll be there Friday and Saturday and I’ll have a pocket full of maker coins to pass out, so if you see me, don’t be afraid to say “Hi” and get one. I’ve got something for …

Digital rewards added to Royal Game of Ur Kickstarter.

At the time of this posting the Kickstarter for the Royal game of Ur is achingly close to funding. I love this paint of the game. One of the things I should have done at the start of this campaign has been corrected now. A digital reward tier has been added that ads the diamonds and rules that are not …

3D Printing at Tuacahn

Tuacahn Amphitheater in Southern Utah. Nestled into beautiful red foothills hills. Home of great theater, a Saturday farmer’s market, and 3D printing. 3D printing? Yup.

Only a few people showed up, but a good time was has by all as we talked about 3D design, the work I’ve done, and 3D scanning. Enjoy! mattfryou : Feel free to brush up …

WTFFF 3D Printing Podcast, 3D Printed Toys and Blender

Talk about a cosmic convergence. Well, maybe not cosmic, but still. One of my favorite podcasts, WTFFF, did a segment about 3D puzzle toys, a topic that I have some documented knowledge of. I’ve interacted with Tom and Tracy online a couple of times, they’re very accessible and I enjoy that. So I reached out again to say “Hey, you’re …

3D Printing Professor on Patreon

Welp, I’ve gone and done it now. The post really says it all. This isn’t the right time to do this sort of thing. With the sale of our house taking way longer than anticipated it’s getting harder and hard to maker videos. So is it a good idea to pull the trigger on a Patreon when I can’t work …

Introducting the Thingfolio

Naming things apparently isn’t one of my strengths. So bear with me as I introduce to you… The thingfolio. On the outside is just a fuzzy lunchbox with a zebra stripe pattern and the name of my design company. And on the inside… there’s examples of 3D printing and designs that I can offer including figures, customized products and stamps, …
