Youtube, I guess!?
Youtube playlist: 3D Studio Max 2025 Tutorials Phone stand images below! So what’s the deal with the videos. Why now? Why not 10 years ago? And before my physical capabilities are completely gone it seemed like a fun project. Basically, I have some free time… And I thought since I’ve been enjoying making little projects… Continue reading Youtube, I guess!?
Nonspecific magnetic superperson 3D print!
So what’s all that? That is my prusa XL printing a 3D model I made a while back. So I modeled this thing quite a ways back, probably over a year at least. It finally was time to test it out with my new 3D printer. It needed a few tweaks, things like making it… Continue reading Nonspecific magnetic superperson 3D print!
Introducing… No-Mouse
Pretty stupid for something that looks a lot like a mouse right? Well it is and it isn’t. It is a stupid name because it looks exactly like a mouse and for all you know it probably works just like a mouse…however it has all the functionality except the actual tracking of a mouse. But… Continue reading Introducing… No-Mouse
1 COFFEE-LID to rule them all…
All right, so why a coffee top using plastic? Well the end result is not to have a plastic coffee top, this is just a prototype for something we’re hopefully going to be able to create in glass. So what’s the idea behind this? Well a friend of mine is super particular about his coffee,… Continue reading 1 COFFEE-LID to rule them all…
Prusa XL – Upgrade!
It came! Finally! It was expensive and probably, well too expensive but I’m having a lot of fun with this hobby so I went for the XL upgrade where I can have multiple colors or filaments used on the same print. Unfortunately I can’t do this myself so I am waiting for my buddy Andy… Continue reading Prusa XL – Upgrade!
I have a soft spot…

Enough Is Enough And It’s Time For a Change
You’re darn right Owen Hart. Not that there’s anything wrong with funny watermelons but I think it’s time to change it up. Something goofy, something goofy like this…
CHEESE
Over the last couple years I’ve been shopping around for a brand new render machine for projects. I suppose it’s not just rendering as it is evolving into a lot of Fusion 360 work which I guess is engineering? But those need rendering to as well as number crunching for all the surfaces. Lately Fusion… Continue reading CHEESE
Maybe it’s different now…
I try to sit back and think about what my ideal superpowers might be. It’s really like when you’re in grade school and your friends ask you if you could have one superpower, which one would it be? And then your brain goes through this incredible cycle of which power can you get that will… Continue reading Maybe it’s different now…
IT’S HUGE (new 3d printer)
Seriously, what are the odds that somebody would be selling a Prusa XL 3D printer in my area? Turns out the odds are pretty good! I’ve been in the market for a new 3D printer for easily a year, or maybe ever since I got my mini. It’s not that the Prusa Mini Plus is… Continue reading IT’S HUGE (new 3d printer)
SAMARITAN
It’s finally done! Working on Hellboy’s gun was a little bit more of an undertaking than I had originally imagined. It was fun though, so although it took maybe a couple weeks longer than I estimated. Although it doesn’t have all the functionality that a prop version might have like lights in the shells, a… Continue reading SAMARITAN
Turns out super glue dries super fast…
Too fast if you ask me! So what’s going on here? Well, I took my Samaritan 3D model and decided to go the next step of 3D printing. It was a little difficult to chop it up into moderately sized chunklates but I managed. Basically I had to, excluding the cylinder itself, split every object… Continue reading Turns out super glue dries super fast…
Modeling: HELLBOY’S Samaritan
So what’s the big deal? Is there a deal at all? I suppose there’s really not but for a while now I’ve been toying with the idea of making a YouTube channel that shows the process of not just modeling, but taking an idea all the way to a physical object. For instance I really… Continue reading Modeling: HELLBOY’S Samaritan
Get Started 3D printing with 3ds Max
I completely admit that if you’re going to get started with 3D printing you should probably not start with 3D Studio Max… I would definitely suggest an actual CAD program first and foremost, specifically Fusion 360 because it’s free. But if you did and somehow you’re using the Prusa MINI+ then here is a link… Continue reading Get Started 3D printing with 3ds Max
That time I sold my accessible car on the internet…
Sometimes I just like writing ads for Craigslist. One time I sold my stereo for a few 24 packs of Coke…much more of an interesting story than I sold my stereo on Craigslist. Unfortunately the car sold on Facebook Marketplace. I didn’t like signing up for Facebook but I’ll be damned if it didn’t work.… Continue reading That time I sold my accessible car on the internet…
So…it wasn’t spam?
The short answer is… No, it wasn’t. But let me give you some background real quick. If there’s anything WordPress sites are known for, it’s that you’re definitely going to get spam comments fairly regularly on your blog page. Or really any page that you allow comments. Most grifters on the internet know how to… Continue reading So…it wasn’t spam?
T2: Japanese Graphic Design
From the personal experience of buying it a handful of times, Terminator 2 Judgment Day has about four handfuls of different covers. Depending upon if you got it on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, maybe even HD DVD when that was a thing, but most beautifully done and a blast from the past is this Japanese LaserDisc… Continue reading T2: Japanese Graphic Design

Joystick Upgrade – Mini update and review – pt 3.5 or so
Quick Links – Hall Effect / Andy After using my current updated joystick with the two additional joysticks there has been some good and bad. Unfortunately the bad has outweighed the good but that’s why we’re doing revisions and taking it a step at a time. Let’s try to make a quick list of the… Continue reading Joystick Upgrade – Mini update and review – pt 3.5 or so
Prosthetic Breast [NSFW]
Quick Links – Printable / MakeRig It all starts with a need. So who am I to say no? Personally I have a ton of needs so when I see there’s somebody with one that I can potentially do some good for, it’s hard not to want to be involved in some capacity. When you’re in… Continue reading Prosthetic Breast [NSFW]
Wrestling Portraits 2023
As is tradition we went to Las Vegas for a weekend of pro wrestling. This year it was TNA which would Mark the first time I’ve seen them live. Previously we’d see Ring of Honor or some of the other Indie wrestling companies but this was a welcome change because the roster was different. So… Continue reading Wrestling Portraits 2023
Keychains for a friend
Quick Links – One Love Tarantulas / @one_love_tarantulas A friend of mine who owns the company One Love Tarantulas has gotten into 3D printing but he’s a pretty busy guy on the weekends and between feeding his vast tarantula collection and working with all of his customers it doesn’t have a whole lot of time.… Continue reading Keychains for a friend
Vacations are the worst and somehow the best! [ LOTS OF PICS]
So where am I? As of this picture I’m probably floating over Colorado on February 21st. So we did it, we got on a plane again. We swore off the idea for quite some time because every time we fly with a wheelchair it’s a train wreck. Something breaks on the chair or I do.… Continue reading Vacations are the worst and somehow the best! [ LOTS OF PICS]
