3D Printing Nerd

Reminder: This is a review of the Pancakebot 1.0

Have you ever wanted to vary the infill percentage in a model depending on the Z height? Watch this and I’ll show you how with Simplify3D! This will speed up your printing time and reduce the amount of plastic you are using.

I just received my Pancakebot, a “3d printer” that prints pancakes using batter. I backed this on Kickstarter, and it finally arrived!

I’m announcing the winner of the contest I held for a 3d printed Rey’s blaster and a 3d printed Poe Dameron blaster from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Here we chat about 3d printing, and I present Jerry with the Buddha Belly Barnacules

Jerry (aka Barnacules) tagged me on twitter because he saw someone had put his head on a buddha body and uploaded it to Thingiverse. [expand for more]

Can glow in the dark filament be just as hard on your 3d printer nozzle as carbon fiber filament?

A while back I had everyone enter a contest for two 3d printed blasters that Rey used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I had nearly 6,000 entries for this contest! I picked a winner, and had the biggest Star Wars fan in the galaxy help me out 🙂

I got this box in the mail and didn’t know what was in it until I opened it. I mean, I knew it was a 3d printer, but, not which one 🙂

What printer is in the box? I don’t know – BUT WE WILL FIND OUT! This was a behind-the-scenes shoot of me while I was shooting the official unboxing video for the 3d printer. Cool, right?

My very first live broadcast!

Nerd Vlog! It’s been way too long. What do I talk about in this one?
