I am passionate about 3D printing and run the Minimal 3DP YouTube Channel. In my day job, I am a GIS professional. I am also horrible at writing descriptions. Please imagine it is witty and memorable.
I am not a fan of iOS 26 “Liquid Glass”. There, I said it.

Seems like a great day to work on my #3dprinters. I am working my way through the new features in Orcaslicer 2.3.1 Alpha. I also need to do some more print-in-place models to give away.

This week, a new alpha for Orcaslicer 2.3.1 has dropped. The new version includes several new features. In this video, I give a brief overview of Orcaslicer 2.3.1 Alpha and take an in-depth look at the updated YOLO Flow calibration test. #3dprinting

I have printed a couple of hundred print in place and flexi models to give to kids at a STEM event. Anybody got some cool (and reasonably quick) models I can print and give away? #3dprinting

Sums up my feelings exactly.
Up 24-0 at halftime of the SuperBowl, and I still can’t unclench my jaw. A lifetime as a Philly sports fan has taught me better than to trust premature joy. 🤞🏻💚🦅 #FlyEaglesFly

Anxiety is super high tonight. It is very frustrating. Going to play with my #3dprinters and see if that helps. Sometimes the only relief I can get is doing something that takes all my brain power.

I never learned how to design in CAD. What would people recommend I learn. I have access to Fusion, autocad, onshape, and all the various open source packages.

I got another video ready to post tomorrow. I discuss setting you Extrusion Mtuplier (aka Flow rate). #3dprinting

I am thinking of using Google workspace for myself. Is they any good alternatives I should look at?
