Filament of the Month Club is going out with a Bang

To everyone who backed the Filament of the Month Club, I want to thank you for your support. I didn’t escape the notice of many people that May’s shipment of Filablend never arrived in May. Rest assured, I noticed this as well and have been working with my fulfillment to figure out what happened. Fortunately, we found them. Basically, they …

Updating the Etsy store

Cleaned up some items in the 3D Printing Professor Etsy store, and added a few one-off items to clear out my inventory. First of all, a few Ur boards left over from the kickstarter. But secondly, and more exciting, at the request of a few people, I am making signed copies of my book, the Beginner’s Guide to the 3D …

Deathly Hallows Pendant

This is an idea that’s been percolating for a long time. There are a ton of Deathly Hallow’s 3D pendants out there, but none of them actually use the Deathly Hallows as objects. Well, no more. Presenting the Deathly Hallows as objects arranged like the symbol for the Deathly Hallows. Some liberty was taken with the relative scale. I’ve made …

How to support a ring

In modeling and iterating the rose ring for my wife I made a lot of mistakes and I thought I’d enumerate the lessons I learned about making ring without regards to the YHT rule. Increasing the support angle to 45 degrees is mandatory for ABS.  Tilting the ring 30 degrees will prevent the supports holding the top up from passing …

Saving money on PinShape, Sculpeto, or Shapeways

I mentioned before that there’s been some learning involved in using PinShape. Because PinShape partners with Sculpteo to print your stuff, understanding how Sculpteo prices their prints, which is similar to how Shapeways prices their prints, is key in bringing prices down. First of all, a big print is a big print. There’s little to nothing that will bring down …

Introducing Cymon’s Designs

Not to be too subtle about it, it’s time to announce Cymon’s Designs, a showcase of my 3D modeling and design work, as well as contact info and a neat business card hat will hopefully drive new work to me. If I can afford to grow my 3D printing endeavors, that’d be great. If they could pay the bills outright, …

Anyone want a golden idol?

I’ve finally printed and painted a gold idol from Spelunky that is just the gold idol, no loop for a charm, so that I will have something for when I decide to post the model on CGTraider. Only problem is… I don’t need a gold idol sitting around. So I’ve thrown it up on Etsy. Anyone want a Gold Idol? …

Sacrifice a few damsels on my build surface and this appears

Spelunky. I love Spelunky. My kids enjoy Spelunky. My 4 year old son asks for it by name. Well, he calls it “Speedmonkey” but it’s basically the same thing. It’s a game of exploration, adventure, mastery, risk and reward, and just plain fun. There’s an item in the game called the “Kapala“. It’s… well it a little bit morbid but …
