Thanks to some Adafruit Neopixels and their Feather 32u4, my Daft Punk helmet LOOKS AWESOME! I learned enough Arduino to make my Neopixels work in a Neomatrix grid!

I’ve ALWAYS wanted my own Daft Punk helmet. I have an army of 3d printers, and it was time I got experience finishing a print. So, I printed, sanded, primed, and painted THIS COOL DAFT PUNK HELMET! Next up, adding electronics from Adafruit!

There are some good ways to get 3d printed models the way you want them. You can print with multiple types of filament and/or multiple colors, and you can sand, prime, and paint. HOWEVER, have you thought about adding a patina?

In this Fan Mail Friday, I get sent some REALLY great stuff along with some incredible letters AND money for Seattle Childrens Hospital. Today, though, Snapple sent something and OH MY GOODNESS.

Wavy Wednesday for the 3d printing community is all about sharing wonderful wavy prints. Fernando Jerez is a designer that has created some crazy fun wavy models, and they are PERFECT for Wavy Wednesday!

Fernando Jerez isn’t just large cities, he also has A TRASH WALKER. Imagine if someone from the Star Wars universe designed a trashcan. THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE.

Bondtech extruders are known for being some of the best in the industry. They provide a high level of performance and reliability. Bondtech sent over their dual extruder setup for the Raise3D N2+ and wanted me to give it a shot. SO I DID, WITH SOME HELP.

Clearing a jam in the nozzle can be an easy fix. Using nylon filament and a few minutes of your time, you can clear the debris within your nozzle that causes inconsistent extrusions and failed prints!
