3D Printing Nerd

I’ve been showing how to model fidget spinners in Fusion360 as a way to get more people interested in designing their own models for printing. It seems to be working, so here is another tutorial. Here is how you can use cheap nuts from the hardware store to use as weights in your fidget spinner!

If you’re curious about the BCN3D Sigma R17 3d printer, I’m more than happy to tell you about my experience with it! This serves as my official review of the Sigma R17!

Jeff of the Print 3D Channel is doing some awesome stuff, and 3d printing like a champ! He has a 365 project going, and is 90 days into releasing a 3d printing video EVERY DAY THIS YEAR. He’s also incredibly good with Cinema4D and models printable objects in that software.

I’m jumping on the fidget spinner bandwagon and showing you how to EASILY make one in Autodesk Fusion 360 in 5 MINUTES. I printed mine on the BCN3D Sigma R17 using Matterhackers PRO PLA.

My friend picked up a Fusion3 F400 3d printer, and asked if I wanted to unbox it for the channel. Of COURSE I said yes!

Daryl Ricketts is a forensic anthropologist and a professor of anthropology at Indiana University. He also 3d prints all sorts of awesome forensic models and specimen models for students.

I visited Bill from Punished Props the other day, and we did some tests on the best way to bond 3d printed parts. We tested glues and epoxy as well as friction welding and 3d pens! Testing was fun, and not incredibly scientific, HOWEVER, we came to some very interesting conclusions!

Lauren from Abuzz Designs is a great designer and up-and-coming awesome person in the 3d printing community! I had the chance to talk to her at MRRF about her insane gear table! Plus, I love being able to feature such an incredible maker!
