3D Printing Nerd

The Kodama Obsidian 3d printer – the starting-at-$99 Kickstarter offering has had it’s fair share of decent words, criticisms, and shipping charges blowback. Kodama has done it’s best to adjust, and in my case, asked nicely to have a re-do. The Obsidian had some adjustments, and now with a semi-tuned Simplify3D profile, it’s printing away. How well is it working? What am I printing? What do I like and what should change? LET’S DO THIS.

The next #Wildcard filament is here, and it is HIGHFIVE BLUE! Alex from Proto-Pasta and I got together and used their HTPLA v3 to make this new, metallic, awesome filament color!

The Dagoma NEVA delta 3d printer is here! I just watched 3D Maker Noob unbox it on his channel, now it’s my turn!

Here is part 2 of the Mario block build, where I take you through bondo and spot putty, sanding, filler primer, sanding, primer, sanding, painting, taping, airbrushing!

I thought I would get some final thoughts out on the Kodama Obsidian 3d printer V3 Prototype I have before sending it back. The hardware itself produces some decent models, but definitely needs some refinements before getting into the hands of Kickstarter backers.

My 2006 Subaru WRX had a broken gas cap tether. I used 3d printing and the ZYYX+ 3d printer to print a new tether and install it on my car!

FAN MAIL FRIDAY for June 30, 2017! Big thanks to Loud Josh for his help: twitter.com/loud_josh

Loud Josh loves Star Wars, so let’s laser cut a Millennium Falcon into some birch plywood! We’re using the Full Spectrum Muse, a 45 watt CO2 hobby laser.

I got my customized Feetz shoes delivered! Now, to get them out of the box and onto my feet. Let’s do this!
