Watch on YouTube Figuring out how to make 3D prints that look and feel “normal” isn’t something everyone is worried about. There are a lot of companies out there selling 3D prints, and as far as I can see the kids buying them aren’t disappointed by layer lines. But, still, one look at the effect and it’s immediately clear that …
Watch on YouTube Check out Cthulhu and Friends on kickstarter and sign up to be notified when it goes live in April. This video ran a little longer than usual. I had intended to include a more detailed guide to using Leon Fisher Skipper’s purge waste reduction scripts. But unfortunately, that had to be cut. Fortunately, his makerworld page does …
Watch Video I am attending the LA Makerfair on April 6th and the Rocky Mountain Rep Rap festival on April 20th. At these events I want to take some of the 3D printers I have, 3D printers that I’ve held on to but not used for far too long, and put them into loving home where they will get the …
Watch on YouTube As I’m writing this I am suffering under some kind of illness that is making me miserable. Just thought I’d mention it incase this post devolves into inane rambling, so you can know what’s going on. Uploading prints to the Creality Cloud from you phone is slightly more involved than I made is sound in the video. …
Watch on YouTube CES isn’t for you and I. It’s for investors and investees to meet. Getting to attend CES was a dream come true. It’s the sort of dream come true where when it does come true you kind of end up going “what was the big deal?” CES is not like a Makerfair or Rep Rap festival. Heck, …
If you support me on Printables or Patreon you should have received this month’s reward. In honor of Chinese New Year and 2024 being the year of the Dragon, I brought out the articulated dragon model from the PrintABlok:Beasts campaign. This model has been newly updated with the improved ball joints and so should hold it’s poses better, longer. In …
Watch On YouTube Designer Con was recommended to me by someone at the Orange County Maker Fair Discord, and I immediately recognized it as a potential next step on my path towards a career as a toy designer. And boy howdy did that turn out to be true. However, after looking at this footage, I went and got a steady …
It’s a new month, so Patreon, Thangs, and Printables supporters are getting the Starwing with Anthromedian Lion Pilot playset premium models this month. Thank you all for your support. As we proceed across the boundary from one year to the next, we have an opportunity to look backwards in review, and forwards in hope. For me, this past year saw …
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 …
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 …
