Hey, long time no see. I’m back trying my hand videos again.

Reviewing the beautiful Filamentum Vertigo Galaxy Black

Introduction I was perusing thingiverse when I stumbled across a wicked filement spool holder, it was fantastic and even had a silica gel area. One thing that struck me was despite the 0.3 mm layer height the parts looked incredible due to the glistening fleck in the filament. I followed the link to the creators own website, Soannerhands. Turns out that the dude is a retailer for Filamentum and also lives nearby. Was time to place an order. Overview This filament comes on a nice 750g spool. Transparent sides so you can see what you’re doing and nicely wound....

Great Teleprompter 3D Printed Model for Youtubers

You may not know the name Agustin Flowalistik but you will have definitely seen his work. Whether it be beautiful dual colour vases, low poly Star Wars figures or of course Pokemon characters, Agustin has been smashing out quality model after quality model for free for some time now. I like to follow the dude, as he is pretty much single handedly producing all of thingiverse’s dual colour collection but this model stood out. Not just a decoritive item, but a really funky functional one. This group alone (3D Printing) has quite a few YouTube celebs, but in general this way of connecting with the audience is becoming very very popular. The main issue with Vlogging is the speed in which people want the content leading to either reading from scripts off-camera or ad-libbing leading to chaotic delivery. Agustin Flowalistik developed this uber-funky little bracket to hold a piece of glass in front of your camera at the correct angle to reflect your mobile phone screen without ruining the shot. Nice! ...
