3D Printing Nerd

Daniel Noree is known for 3DBenchy and the OpenRC project. Now, one of his latest models is the Furry Vase – a model that tells the printer to bridge outward, then come back to create soft plastic loops that drape over the model. Quite neat!

In this video learn how I made a custom spool holder for filaments and how it helped with 3d printing on the Ultimaker. A few spare chunks of wood and a bolt is all you need to put together something that will work!

Kirby Downey is a talented 3d modeler, and he has updated his Destiny Thorn model to make it EVEN BETTER! Here I show you how to put all the pieces together to make this sweet hand cannon!

It took The Part Daddy roughly 5 hours to get 75% of the way through this MASSIVE Gear Bearing. I wasn’t able to film a time lapse, but this is real-time footage of how the printer is stopped, how prints are removed, and what sort of clean-up is needed.

I have the Original Prusa i3 mk2 kit 3d printer, and I haven’t had the chance to take it out of the box yet. Josef Prusa was in town, so he stopped by to help me get the parts out of the box so I can start building it. That guy is very convincing.
