3D Printing Nerd

Fan Mail Friday for June 09, 2017!

Part 2 is finally here! Jonny Cruz ends up stealing my intro – THAT GUY! Then, Bill from Punished Props stops by to talk about how we coated the models in Feather Fill to make sanding smooth possible. Then, we get into the Shinto file, made from bandsaw blades. CRAZY.

The winners of the 100k contest are announced here! Big thanks for everyone that entered and proved we could do a huge give-away here on the channel!

Makergear brought their new M3 3d printer to Bay Area Maker Faire and showed it off to everyone that stopped by. The company is going to be getting it’s name out there more in the next 6 – 12 months!

I had the chance to speak with Michael from Kodama while at Bay Area Maker Faire. They are launching the Obsidian on Kickstarter, a $99 3d printer with optional upgrades.

Full Spectrum has their Muse – a 45 watt hobby laser that was being showcased at Bay Area Maker Faire this year. Per Full Spectrum, it’s the best hobby laser available today. Thanks to Matterhackers, I was able to attend the Bay Area Maker Faire, and chat with Nick about the Muse!

Maker Faire Bay Area 2017 was a blast! It was three days of non-stop excitement and fun. I was running around like crazy grabbing interviews, and my cameraman Sean was always on the hunt for some great B-roll. This is three minutes of awesome!

I met Lucy of Feetz at Bay Area Maker Faire 2017. We got to talk about their 3d printed shoes, and I got a pair to review!

Frank Ippolito is an awesome maker and someone who knows a thing or two about prop creation. He stopped by the booth and sat down with me for a quick chat on 3d printing and how he uses the technology.

“Hey I’m Bob at I Like To Make Stuff” is something you hear when you watch one of Bob’s wonderful videos. After you hear that, you know you’re going to see something incredibly cool and learn a few things along the way. Bob stopped by the Matterhackers booth and I was able to chat with him for a few minites!

Angus from Maker’s Muse was able to visit from his home in Australia, and we got him to the interview lounge at the Matterhackers booth!
