3D Printing Nerd

My wife and I had the chance to see Felicia Day for her book signing tour stop in Seattle. Once I knew we were going, I knew I *had* to 3D print SOMETHING for her. I took her Geek & Sundry company logo, used Illustrator to trace it, and extruded the parts I wanted into 3d space using Photoshop. From there, I loaded my gMax 1.5 XT 3d printer with Colorfabb PLA/PHA filament, and printed out this awesome model.

My 3D printer broke down because of a nasty failed print. I had hardened PLA plastic all over the hot end. It was deep. I attempted to preheat to pull it off and that didn’t work. All it did was make smoke (bad!). I then tried a hair dryer on HOT, and that didn’t do the trick.

I announce the winner of the 3d printed Thorn gun from Destiny!

Nerd Vlog 004 is here!

3d printing a companion cube from Portal! I love that game, and being able to print a companion cube is so, so cool!

I held a contest to give away a 3D printed Hawkmoon gun from the game Destiny. Since the contest started, my channel grew an amazing amount, and I’ve had some of the most wonderful interactions with fans and viewers!

I updated the timelapse rig on my 3d printer, and I tested it with a 3d printed poop!
