3D Printing Nerd

Holy cow did I find my way down the best internet rabbit hole ever! Follow along as I guide you through finding out about Tilly Lockey, which then led me to Daniel Melville, which led me to Open Bionics, and a competition in the United Arab Emirates! Whoa!

While at CES 2017 I got to see a lot of really cool things in the 3D Printing area, even though I had a very, very short amount of time. I hope to be able to spend much more time at CES next year, and get a lot more footage of ALL the booths. For now, here is what I thought were the Top 5 things I saw in the 3D Printing area.

The Pangolin is known as the scaly anteater, and is reaching extinction levels. People hunt them for their meat and scales, with some believing their scales have medicinal properties. World Pangolin Day is the day we try to raise awareness for this cute little creature.

While at CES I was able to visit the Lulzbot booth AND chat about my review. My TAZ6 review was unfinished because of machine problems, and we talked about getting a TAZ6 to me to finish the review. Fast forward to today, and I now have another TAZ6!

There is no official YouTube PLAY button for 50k subscribers, but, that isn’t going to stop me from printing one in BACON filament! I used the bacon Proto Pasta filament and printed the PRESSRESET PLAY button model on my Ultimaker 2+!

I needed to test the bridging capabilities of the gCreate gMax 1.5XT+ for a collaboration project coming up. How did it do? VERY WELL. I’m able to bridge a gap of 200mm. Crazy!

Fan Mail Friday is back, and this time, I got some really cool Ghostbusters stickers and some crazy Subaru swag!

I was one of four chosen to be a part of a panel at YouTube HQ in San Bruno, CA. On the panel with me were three other incredibly awesome creators! The tour was great, lunch was amazing, and I left with a goody bag! Links to the other creators below:
