3D Printing Nerd

It’s time to announce the winner of the Nintendo Switch!

Bathroom humor is not lost on me, I promise. When I found this sign saying “Extruding” while showing someone on the toilet, I *KNEW* I had to print it. So I did. Twice. At least.

ZYYX sent over their 3d printer for me to get some usage on AND give my opinions on. Right away, I could tell it was packed with care. It didn’t work right out of the box – but that was from a cable coming loose during shipping. Fix took minutes, and it was up and running in no time. How well did the first print go? Have a watch and find out.

Angus from Maker’s Muse and I just decided to have a chat! That was a lot of fun!

Angus at Maker’s Muse showed you how to design a multi color / multi material model using Autodesk Fusion 360. Now, I show you how to print it in Cura and Simplify3D for the Ultimaker 3 and the BCN Sigma R17 3d printers.

The MRRF footage was starting to age on my hard drive, and I didn’t want it to be six months down the load before I got it online, so here it is. ALL OF IT. This is the rest of my MRRF footage. It’s 30+ minutes of interviews from the Midwest RepRap Festival. Watch at your own pace. Put it on in the background 🙂

I do know what UV light is and how it’s used to charge glow-in-the-dark things! BUT THANK YOU to everyone that was so nice and left a comment telling me about it. SO MANY of you decided to be helpful, and that’s WONDERFUL.

I 3d printed this Mewtwo Pokemon model on the Ultimaker 3 and BCN3D Sigma R17 using dissolvable filament (PVA filament) for supports on each machine. In this video I talk about my experience with the two PVA filaments and how the models printed.

I recently acquired a Nintendo Switch, and it’s cool! Unfortunately, Nintendo didn’t make the right decisions for charging while playing and not in the dock, and the angle of the joycons in the big controller. Let’s use 3d printing to fix that.
