3D Printing Nerd

Wow, the winner of the 10k subscribers contest is here in this video! I know the video is long, and I know I talk a LOT, but, I had to say thanks. What you guys have shown to me is amazing, and only fuels my passion to keep doing what I’m doing. Thank you, so very, very much.

FINALLY, my thoughts on the Wombot Exilis 3d printer from Aurarum in Australia. I attempt a typical machine reviews – where leave the technicaly details to your Google-Fu, and instead tell you what I personally like and don’t like about the printer. Watch the video to see what I think!

This video was published February 21, 2016. A lot has happened since then, and as of August 19, 2018, I cannot recommend purchasing from Makergeeks. I’ve received NUMEROUS complaints of orders not fulfilled, missing parts of orders, wrong product being delivered, and horrible customer service. Until I can make contact with Makergeeks and find out what is happening, I would stay away from them and find another place to purchase your filament from.

Øyvind got in contact with me and told about me about this cool marble raceway thing on Thingiverse called “The Cyclone” It looked really cool, so I knew I had to print it!

I had the chance to 3d print a Fallout 4 Alien Blaster designed by Kirby Downey at MyMiniFactory.com and it turned out great. Kirby is an incredibly gifted designer, and his design of the Alien Blaster doesn’t disappoint.

The good people at Holodeck 3D Studios used their 89 camera system to scan me, and created a 3d model from the scan. Then, I took that model and 3d printed it on my Lulzbot Mini!

The time is up and we announce the winner of our 15K Giveaway Contest for a copy of Simplify3D and a roll of Proto Pasta magnetic iron PLA! EXCITING!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Every year I try to make Valentines for my wife and kids without having to buy cards at the store. This year was no different, and it was a great chance to use my 3d printer!

My channel just passed 15,000 subscribers! I wasn’t going to have a give away, but I was contacted by Simplify3D and Proto-Pasta about sponsoring a giveaway at 15K. So, SURPRISE CONTEST!

It’s finally time! In this video I get to unbox the Lulzbot Mini 3d printer. As you’ll see in the video, the printer is packed into the box extremely well. The printer itself is protected extremely well when it’s shipped.

Thanks to science, we can print things in an iron-infused plastic and then apply rusting techniques to really bring out some awesome quality of 3d printed objects. In this case, Doctor Who’s TARDIS!

I’m starting to get a LOT of questions asking me about 3d printing in general, what I do, how I do it, how I got started, what’s YouTube like, how do I make my videos – questions like these. I’m going to try and do some “Ask Joel” videos to answer these questions!
