3D Printing Nerd

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

Here is a quick peek at the Castle Dice Tower 3D printer torture test. I think it did okay, though, it’s very easy to see I don’t have my Simplify3D settings correct.

If you have a 3d printer, it’s always a good idea to test it’s limits. This Castle Dice Tower will test your printers limits!

In this video I give my official review of the Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 3d printer! My printer reviews usually follow a slightly different path, as I do a review as *I* would like to see it. I answer these three questions:

I am prepping a review of the Wanhao Duplicatoe i3 and as you know, I had some issues during the unboxing. It looks like I’ve got a few successful prints under my belt, and I’m attempting my most ambitious print yet.

For many, infill percentage is a held belief, same as political affiliation, religion, and camera brand manufacturer. I think that, as a whole, we can reduce the amount of plastic we use by reducing our infill percentage.

I wanted to compare a couple different PLA filament brands, and I thought a good way would be to 3d print some more of Rey’s blasters. You can never have too much Star Wars swag.

I unbox the Wanhao Duplicator i3 for you! Two cameras running so you can see most everything. Plus, I did NOT open the box prior to filming, so everything you see is my first time seeing it, and all of my reactions and emotions are genuine.

Enjoy a Red Bull while watching Guardians of the Galaxy by using this Groot Koozie! 3D printed using Colorfabb bamboo on my Wombot Exilis 3d printer.

Angus over at Maker’s Muse thought my plant looked sad and extracted a mini nuke from the game Fallout 4. He made the mini nuke 3d print-able and printed one for his cactus. In the video, he called me out for having a gMax printer with a HUGE build volume – saying that I should print one for my plant.

I used a remix of a previous 3d model as inspiration for a Futurama themed new 3d model! Yes, the 3d printed Bender Red Bull koozie!

2015 was a wonderful year for me and my family. Thank you for your continued support of my channel and my passion for 3d printing. You make it all worth the time and effort I put into it!
