3D Printing Nerd

It’s once again time to open up some fan mail! I really love getting stuff from my audience, and this is one of the ways I choose to show my appreciation!

I review the Lulzbot Mini 3d printer. Plus, I show off some prints made with the printer, and give you an idea of what I think about the printer. It’s good stuff, you should watch.

There is an awesome model on Thingiverse called “Robber Rex”, and I decided to use that model as a way to show off Proto Pasta and Colorfabb exotic materials. I’m printing with Proto Pasta carbon fiber PLA and stainless steel PLA. I’m also printing with Colorfabb Bronzefil PLA.

THE FIRST FAN MAIL FRIDAY! I’ve received a few fan mails, and I thought it was best if I opened up everything and showed you what I had received! If you want to send me something awesome, send it here:

Boots Industries filament store closing June 8, 2017.

I modified a parametric box from Thingiverse so I could print in 2 colors on my Flasforge Creator Pro. I used OpenSCAD to do the modifications, and Simplify3D to slice everything. The boxes turned out incredible!

I was contacted by Micro Swiss and asked to show you how to upgrade your Wanhao Duplicator i3 with an all metal hot end using the Micro Swiss kit. I thought it was a great idea!

I wanted to 3d print something from the video game Destiny and give it away, so I loaded up a Ghost model in Simplify3D, halved it, and then filmed the print in a timelapse. Then, wait, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT???

No longer live, this is a recorded version of the broadcast

I visited Holodeck 3D Studios in Kirkland, WA for an interview, and a demonstration of their 3d scanning process. The owners are wonderful and the technology is amazing!

I love playing Pokemon Go, and I 3d printed a life size Pikachu for the Pokemon 20th Anniversary! It’s the low poly Pikachu designed by Flowalistik. It’s amazing when you hold it and realize just how huge it is!
