Q&A for everyone (and finally some channel branding!)

Q&A for everyone (and finally some channel branding!)

It's about time for a catch-up and announcement hangout after a year that has had its fair shares of ups and down. But wait, there's more! It only took me 450k subscribers to finally get the channel a proper name and logo, and I can share a sneak peek of the next video where I'll publicly announce it.

We're still doing a Q&A, this time...

An Update

An Update

Hi.

I feel like I owe you all a bit of an update of what's going on behind the scenes. As much as I can, I try to stick to the bi-weekly video release schedule, as I feel like that's what you all came here for and support my work for, but everything else, like Q&A hangouts, has kinda been falling off the cliff for the last couple of mo...

New studio tour! (looking for input)

Hey, so the buildout of the new studio and the majority of the move is done - now it's on to making the most of the new space. I filmed a tour of what's there already and would love to hear your input on how I should make use of the space I've got available now! Full-sheet CNC More video sets? Open space for projects?

Finally, a supporter hangout!

Okay, wow, bit of a hiatus here - I had so much to figure out over winter! Thankfully, me and the channel are in a better spot to move forward now, so let's talk about that and answer your questions while we're at it. 

You can ask questions in the comments below and I'll go through them during the stream - or simply ask live in chat.<...

I'm sorry

Hey, I've got an apology to make. I've not been great about staying on schedule with the Patreon Hangouts, answering messages, including the Patreon Shoutouts in every other video or following through with bigger projects that I promised like relaunching Filaween or rebranding the channel. Mostly, though, I'm sorry for not communicating better w...

Hey, the folks who joined me today for the Q&A Hangout will have already heard about this, but over the next couple of months, I'll be rebranding the channel to "Made with Layers"

Looking for input on a 3D printing basics series!

A few years ago, I had worked with what is now LinkedIn Learning to produce a basics / primer series on DIY 3D printing. That series is now pretty badly outdated... and also behind a paywall. So the plan is to produce a new, updated series myself that is going to be available free for everyone here on YouTube. I've already got 10 episodes sketch...

Project Sneak Peek

Project Sneak Peek

Finishing 3D print to not look like 3D prints anymore can turn into a huge chore - so I've started experimenting with using one printing material (resin) to refine another (filament). The results so far are super promising as it's quick and easy to apply, yet very effectively hides layers - stay tuned for the video later this week!

Thanks again to everyone who said hi at ERRF and TCT and maybe even took a selfie, or even only waved a quick hello. I'll certainly be back for MRRF next year!

What do you want to know about heated beds?

I'll be filming a video on the thermal performance of various types of heated beds tomorrow, using a FLIR camera and a bunch of different tests I've already sketched out. But the question is, what do you want to see tested or mythbusted when it comes to how well different setups perform?
Also, if you've already made up your mind on what the "...

Logo thoughts?

Logo thoughts?

New year, new you, right? I've been playing with the idea of a bit of a logo and channel redesign, as the current design language only works well in a few places - and even there, it's a bit awkward to use.

This is a concept that I created in Illustrator and would love your feedback on it! Your opinions on whether I should make changes to ...

Re-starting re-views!

Hey there! You may have noticed that the channel was missing reviews for a while now, and there were a few reasons for it: Many products didn't work out as intended since I basically received an unfinished beta version, but I also got frustrated by seeing other outlets publishing one-sided "reviews" just for the goal of generating affiliate sales.<...
