 What's up everybody? Welcome to HotMakes, right? HotMakes live, all of the HotMakes things. I'm Jim from the Edge of Tech, also known as Nerdy J. This is Lindsay, this is my wife Lindsay. How are you? Hi guys, how are you? How are you? What's going on with the comments, right? I think Giri's already drunk. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I clicked the wrong button, we're good. Well, welcome to HotMakes. We are here live from the studio and we have an awesome show for you guys tonight. Don't forget, we are live here on Facebook, on Twitch, I think all the things. Again, this is my wife Lindsay. If you've never met her, say hi in the chat. We would love to see all the highs. And we have an amazing guest tonight. But before we get to that, just a heads up. All of the HotMakes we show tonight will be in a link in the description below. And all you have to do is jump down there, find that Google link and find episode 128, that's right. Almost 130 episodes of HotMakes we've done. Live on Myspace, maybe, I think we are live on Myspace. Well, at least this is Myspace, does that count? No, no, bad dad joke. Okay, don't forget, there is a PayPal link if you feel inclined to donate. Hit it up, it could be for Oreos, it could be for whatever you want, just to say hi to Lindsay, I'm good with that. HotMakes now 100% better looking, thank you. I appreciate that. She found me on a mail order husband website, and no, that's not true. Oh, God! Thanks, Geary, I appreciate that. I think, is that it? Is that all the housekeeping we have, Geary? I think that's it. What, 812 subs it looks like? So we're almost to the coveted 1,000 mark. We got the survey too. Yes, absolutely. The survey, are you putting it in the chat again, or is it just out there? It's in the description, and Nightbot's gonna throw it out, but I'll throw it in the chat manually right now. I know you're used to Geary, but I'm not. Yeah. It's really hard. It's hard to hear him. Is it hard to understand me? Yeah. No, it's fine. You're just not used to it. All right. My CPU is a neural net processor. Okay, sorry. I was just entering a chat AI. We should talk about chat. We're not here to talk about chat AI, but I love it. Chat GDP, amazing. I said chat AI, I think. Anyways, yeah, we have a great show. I don't care. We're just gonna jump right into it. Do you wanna say anything? Yeah. You wanna introduce me? Well, whatever. Yeah, go ahead. So, yeah, hi. So, this was kind of my idea when I started down my little new hobby road trip. This next guest was highly influential in my journey and she's super awesome. And she was like my dream ask to bring on the show. So I'm super, super excited for you guys all to meet Anna, AKA little house of lights and see all the cool things that she makes. Awesome. Well, let's bring her in. Anna, are you back there somewhere? Hello, there she is. Hi. Hi, Anna, how are you? I'm good, how are you? I am doing great. So before we go too far, I have a ton of stuff to talk to you about. But first, because we're gonna begin the episode, people are just tuning in. Who are you? What do you do? And where can we find you? And then we'll do that again in the end, but just a quick synopsis of who you are and what you do. My name is Anna Wright and I make miniatures. I mainly work in 112 scale, which means that one foot in real life equals one inch in miniature. Recently, I have gotten really into 3D printing. It's become my passion. So I actually just got sent the Solvol printer, which you can see back here from the edge of tech. And I also print in resin. You can find me on little.house.lights on Instagram or a little house of lights on Etsy or little house of lights all one word on TikTok. Awesome. Well, that is just kind of a testament. So everybody out there who said my video on the Solvol SV06 was clickbait, you're right. It was clickbait, but you clicked on it and I didn't lie. I love that printer and I did pack it up and I did send it out. And Anna is the one that got it. And she's been killing it with her prints lately. Like the first night she had it, she already had stuff printed out. And that she designed, by the way, I wanna throw that out there. So that kind of brings us into a segue. We're talking about miniatures and minis and we kind of showed this in Hot Makes Before that Lindsay's remodeling her childhood dollhouse. And you know, you do a lot of resin design already and you do resin printing already, right? Yes. Awesome. Well, thank you, the dad cave. So, thinking, hey, Geary. Yeah, what's up? All this miniature talk makes me think of Mitch. No. No. Oh, hang on. Sorry. I had to. If he's watching, Mitch, if you're watching me, if you're watching Mitch, you know, I'm sorry, I had to. It was, Mitch is a good friend of a, What the? Look at this guy. Speak and he shall show up. I see what you're doing here. Yeah, I have a chair. I just appeared. Yeah, see that? It's like Jeannie. I speak of Mitch and he just pops in my door. Same idea three times. I show up without a backpack for her. Sorry, that was a curve ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is Mitch, everybody. But so you're designing, you're printing with resin if I can get back into my train of thought here. And like, you do like super tiny little stuff. Can you talk about like, basically the process of that? I mean, I've seen, you make tiny little Elmer's glue bottles and stuff like that. Can you talk about a little bit about that? Cause I mean, this is all like awesome 3D printing stuff. I'm talking like tiny, tiny little Elmer's glue. Yes. Here's one. Oh, it's so cool. Yeah, phenomenal, by the way. So, I don't even need a tiny Elmer's glue and I want it. Tiny things. That's what I'm talking about. Like one of my favorite things that I've made is this miniature tape dispenser. Oh, that's amazing. That's so cool. Oh my gosh. And it's so unnecessary, but I mean. I love it. You gotta have it. Tell me, is the center there actual tape? No, it's resin printed and clear. So it looks like tape. So I just wanna address the chat real quick. Everybody's saying, Mitch, where's your printer? Hey, it's Mitch, a backpack printer. Yes. And by the way, I did run Mitch by that joke before I made it. You just didn't make the joke and throw them into the left. That was my cue. But that's pretty awesome. Let us know in the chat if you have any questions for Anna. And also Lindsey, she's been remodeling her house and we're gonna talk about it. Take over, ask her some questions, have some fun. So yeah, I just admire everything that you do. When I first started like deciding I was gonna remodel my house, I was saving other people's ideas and stuff. And so you were like my first person, I idolized as far as what you made. But I haven't gone all the way back to like the beginning of your Instagram or anything. And I was just curious like what got you into making miniatures and how did you get started? So I come from a family of makers and builders. My dad is an architect, a builder, a contractor. So I come from a family that is really creative. But also my mom is the one that is into doll houses. And she grew up with an amazing doll house. And for Christmas one year, my dad and I decided to wire it so that it would light up. And I was I think 10 years old. And so we wired the doll house, we made a bunch of furniture and I got hooked. And I've always loved miniature things, things that light up. And so I like dabbled in making miniatures here and there throughout the years. I love Harry Potter. I've made a bunch of Harry Potter miniatures in the past. But really when I had my daughter, Kelsey, I decided I'm gonna make her a doll house. And I made the doll house and I loved it so much. And I loved how it came out so much that I wanted to keep it, but it was already promised. So I bought myself a doll house kit for me. And I started it and then I didn't finish it. And then COVID hit and I was like, well, I guess I'm gonna be home for who knows how long. I should start my doll house kit again. So I built it and then I started making stuff for it. And then I saw a couple makers who had 3D printers. And they were making amazing things with these 3D printers that you just can't make by hand. And I was like, that's it. I gotta get a 3D printer. And that's how the 3D printing journey began. And I got completely obsessed. And I just love 3D printing, especially for miniatures. Awesome. Well, you do such an awesome job with, like I've been watching your resin stuff ever since Lindsay said, like literally when she found you, she's like, you have to get this girl on your show. Like you have to find her, we're gonna ask her. And then she started showing me stuff and she started making stuff as well. And I was just like, who makes a tiny, like a tiny little Elmer's glue, the tiny tape you just showed. So someone had a good question. Let's see, do you 2D print the label for the glue? Yes, that's on a printer. Printception, 2D and 3D in one project. You're awesome for being here, man. Uh-oh. Oh, dun, dun, dun. And we have another guest. Hi. You're welcome. Can you show us any of these photos? Okay. Hi. That's my son, Cole. Hi. Here. He's got an awesome dinosaur birthday party. Yes, he does. So. Here, buddy, take this and go. I love it. Here. Can you please shut the door? Sorry, mom life. Oh, no, we definitely understand. Luckily, my sister was watching our little guy at home. Otherwise, if you were someone who didn't know. So that's how you got started. Why did you start with resin to get started? That's a question I've been wanting to ask, because you do some really cool resin stuff, but why resin to start with and not regular FDM? I think that is the main question that many of tourists ask me is, should I get a resin printer or an FDM printer? And of course there's benefits to both, but I really wanted the resin printer to print really tiny things. And you're going to get the most detail with a resin printer. So that's why I went the resin route. And now that I have an FDM printer though, I freaking love it. And there are things you can do on the FDM printer that you really can't do as well in resin. And like I have... Yeah, like I printed this trash can in resin. That is awesome, by the way. With it's got a bag in it? Yeah. Oh my God. What? It just makes me so happy and it's a trash can. It's a trash can. But this is an example of something that would have been better off printed in FDM. And I could have printed the hinge as like a one part instead of having to hinge it with a pin and blah, blah, blah. And it would have been more sturdy. Like you can tell the top of this is a little warped because resin does that. And also if you drop this, it's going to break. I could throw this across the room if it was... I was dying. Your first, you got to print off of your, your soville there and you're like, look how sturdy it is. You're just smashing it on the floor. And I thought that was phenomenal. I might have to pull that up or maybe Geary can pull it up because it's on her Instagram stories. Yeah, it's just so satisfying because resin, it's like you drop it and that, that's it. So, you know, we had this plan. We reached out and said, hey, do you want this printer? I said, I need to finish making videos on it and then I can send it to you. So I make this video that's clickbait. We'll call it what it is. I mean, that is what people called it. It's not about the desk. No, it's the one, she's not the desk videos. I bring them here and he's talking about desks. No, anyways, it's the video. I basically said I had to give my printer away and it's true, that printer's a really nice printer. The best printer you can start with right now in my head by far, in my opinion. And so I packed it up and I sent it over and we talked for about a half an hour while you were setting it up. And then next thing I know we did some pictures and stuff that day. And all of a sudden you're throwing stories out there. I'm printing on it already. I'm like, what the? So I'm glad that you're gonna use it and I can't wait to see what comes. It looks like Geary has or is working on getting that pulled up for us. So do you have any, shoot your questions. Jump in there. Oh no. I should have made a list. The last time I saw her act like this was when she met the Highlander for the first time. Oh stop. No. But what do you got to show? Let's show some stuff. No, I don't have anything I printed. Well you have. I brought the things I've been making out of it. She's brought some stuff to show too. So what's next? Like you're doing so much crazy stuff. Do you have a store on Etsy too that you sell? Yeah, I have a store on Etsy, a little house of lights. I've actually been like totally swamped trying to get these advent calendars out for Christmas. This is a FDM print. The body is FDM, but the little people and the animals are resin and it lights up. And then all the little drawers come out. Oh, there they go. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Luckily. At least he's a city fallout program. No, luckily they fell on my computer, not the floor. How often do you lose stuff when you print it? Cause it's not hard at all. All the time. Like pretty much I'm to a point where my craft room is so messy that if I drop something small, like I don't even bother to look for it anymore because it has been eaten into the abyss. You go treasure hunting. Yeah, here's another one of my, this is the Elugu resin printer. That's cool. So that's a little Elugu printer there, huh? We need to make that. So, and again, if you guys have questions, shoot them in the chat. We'll definitely get the questions out there. And let's see here. So here's a question for you. I saw some stuff. What is that? A school for ants. I love that. Anyways, I saw some stuff on your chat that you've done some stuff for like Microsoft, right? For I think the Xbox. Yes, I did stuff for. Samsung, right? Can you talk about it or is that allowed? Yeah, my two most recent jobs were for Samsung and Xbox. Samsung was building a container living room box, which is basically shrinking down a little apartment that they live in, mostly Asia. It's called compartment living because it's basically a tiny little studio apartment with two living spaces. And I shrunk down their appliances, Samsung's appliances to 112 scale, so really small. And we each got assigned a theme of decorative style. Mine was neon maximalist. And so I decorated the whole room in a neon maximalist style, which is very bright and fun, a lot of LED lights. My room was a gamer's room, a tech gamer. And then five miniatures were hired for the project. And then they stacked the boxes up to make a high rise building. And they used it in an ad campaign. And it was really fun. And then my Xbox project was for this new game that Xbox released in September called Grounded, where it's kind of like Honey I Shrunk the Kids, where you're shrunk down into a little teeny character and you have to make it through the backyard, back to safety and you build little houses and you fight bugs. And I made a small light up, I would call it like a little night light, but of the scene of the game. Nice. With all the little characters and stuff. And everything in there, pretty much everything in there was resin printed. That's awesome. Here's a closer picture. And if I do this, I might even be able to, there we go. Now we can zoom in on this a little better for everybody. So you did all this. You put this all together and then they stacked them together and showed it as rooms is what you're saying. Right. So everyone made a box like this and everyone's box had a different style. And then they stacked up all the boxes on top of each other to make a high rise building. That's cool. That's super cool. And the TV spins. The TV spins? Yeah. Oh, because it's a Samsung. Yeah. Oh, look. It's a Samsung Saro. It spins around. And there's a little robot vacuum. There's an axolotl in the tank. Yes. I'm printing one right now. I'll put it back there. That's a part of my for rent. Yes. So, let's see. Gary, did you find that video yet? Let me, or chat us when you're ready. I can't figure out which one it is. Oh, I think it's from like last week. Without audio. Saturday? I think it's Saturday. It just says a week ago. It doesn't say what day it was posted. Oh, yeah. It's one of the first ones. Like, she literally smashes everything. I don't know if you can go back that far, though. Can you? I thought you would have done the whatever it's called on the main thing. Go back after we did. If you highlighted it in the civil, highlight, if not the new. Oh, yeah, I did. I think I did highlight it in the civil. All right, let's go see. Oh, it's not this one. We're looking real quick. So, there was a quick question too while we're looking for this. I believe it was David Wilson said, how do you design for, or how do you design the miniatures? I design the miniatures mostly using Tinkercad, Blender and Mesh Mixer. I need to learn Fusion 360 though. So, I mostly use Tinkercad, though. Yeah, Tinkercad's really useful. I designed this in Tinkercad. This is a little Dyson vacuum. That is awesome, by the way. Yes, that literally, I'll do this. Hang on, there you go. So, you design that, you just use Tinkercad? Yeah, and this is the old version. So, I had an old version of a Dyson and the new version. Man, that is so good. David Wilson says, impressive for Tinkercad. Absolutely. Yeah. $100 a square millimeter for renting out for Mitch. Someone says it's a Mitch-sized apartment. Oh, here we go. So, you got this and you picked it up and you were just like, oh, it's so strong. I think you were talking about needing the different supports there in this video. And then, I think in a second here, you just like throw it at the floor. You're just like, wham! I love that. So, the reason why I was bringing that up, because were you surprised of the difference between like how tough something would be in resin or, you know, in FDM? Extremely. I was extremely impressed with how tough it was. Well, that's awesome. Let's see, what else do we have? Like my stuff? Well, yeah, I didn't really print anything yet though. That's okay, I don't like where you're going. Yeah, I have these little tiny things. Like, this is a little Dremel. That is amazing. It even says Dremel on it? Yeah, and this is a little... Makita, oh, come on. Crayoby drill. I said Makita, I had one sitting right there. That is super awesome. And a little cord on it too, even. Yeah, and then... It's hard to see the scale like without... Okay, here's my toilet. That's phenomenal. That's so good. And again, this is something I want to try printing in FDM because I want to print the integrated hinge. So there's like so many things that I printed in resin that I now want to print in FDM. And even the non-printed things that you've made, like the little trains and stuff, are, I mean, there's printed elements of it, but there's other maker elements as well with the electronics inside and... Yeah, one is writing too, which is super cool. I mean, I'll dig around here real quick. And while I'm doing that, do you want to show them something like so? So Lindsay's been playing and she's been making doing some awesome stuff of her dollhouse as well. So while she's grabbing something, if you're getting started, like say Lindsay's getting started in what she's doing, what would your advice be for someone who's getting started in, you know, in designing, modeling the whole, in the miniature community, you know, for anyone out there watching? So I think that you should definitely start with Tinkercad. It's really easy to learn. They have tutorials on their day, on their page. Like they're teaching kids Tinkercad in school now and 3D printing is the future. I think everyone should learn it. I think there will be a 3D printer in everyone's home one day, just like we all have a microwave now. So I get... It is getting so close. Yeah. So I would definitely start with Tinkercad and go from there. There's also a lot of good YouTubers who do tutorials on 3D printing and designing. But it just starts simple. Like once you can make a box, it's really just combining shapes to make a bigger shape of combined shapes. Nice. Bigger shape of shapes. Real quick, for my first resin printer, I want to get an Enicubic Photon D2, but the build plate is small. Can I make big things with a small plate or anything you would let a newbie know when you're getting started with, I'm assuming resin printing? Well, I think that the Enicubic plate is what like six inches by four inches, which is the same as a Mars 2 Pro, which is what I have. So you can build taller, obviously, but the base of your item is going to have to be contained on the plate unless you want to print it in two pieces and glue it, but I don't personally feel like that looks really good. If you want to build or print bigger things, I'd go with the filament printer because it can handle a much bigger surface area. And for bigger prints, you want them to be stronger. And that's what filament does. Got it. So you can put it together. You can print it in many pieces and piece it together. Or just get a bigger resin printer. You could get a Saturn. Yeah, well, I tell you, I have a Jupiter. I ordered the Jupiter and it's sitting, I've never used it yet. I got it in August, finally. It took a year from the Kickstarter. But, but- And it'll take you another year to open it? It's open. How much money and resin to fill it with? Yeah, I know, right? Well, you're looking at two liters. I think it's two or two and a half liters to fill the vat. And then, and that's just to fill the vat. And then it holds another one in the back to feed. And then washing it too, you're gonna wash it hard. Can you imagine washing something that bad? So what do you got? So I had 3D printing. I've started more with, so I've been building furniture with wood craft sticks. So this is one of my little coffee tables I made. And I'm really bad at camera stuff here. You gotta block faces. Okay, there we go. Little coffee table there. And that's just coffee stir sticks on the top here. Really cool. That is. So those are just stir sticks and you cut them down. You bought me that really cool thing, your jobber. Yeah, that really, it's a really cool thing in my job. It's a miter snips. They make something called a miter snipper, a miter cutter or something like that. It literally looks like a scissors, but it's a miter. It like has all the angles of, oh, she has one. There you go. Oh, nice. Very similar to that. I did not use this saw. And then you can do different angles on it. And yeah, and it just cuts right through whatever. That's genius when we saw that. I was like, we need this. Cause she was, she bought a tiny little miter box and a tiny little saw and she was like. And it was still coming out like not square. And it was already done. Yeah, you need the clipboards or a saw, a mini saw, which I also have. And a upper fray has a little miter saw in the way. Yeah, it's miter shears. I think that's what they're called too. They're so, it's so good. What else you got? This is my, here I'll do this. It still, you know what cracks me up when Anna, when I was chatting, literally I just turned my, pushing a drawer from the back and I could literally do that cause I never finished. You got to show, bring it closer. Oh, look at that. Here we go. This is my little bathroom cabinet. No things are gonna fall out. Put it up close to the table. There you go. I marbled the top and built all the things and the drawers open and, yeah. So you buy the sink and. Yeah, the sink I purchased. The towel actually cut out of some of this and built for crossings. And I made the little toilet papers in here. Let's see that. Like pull that out once. So she literally cut and rolled little pieces of toilet paper to put in there. Let's see if you can put it in. I don't have hands. Let me see. Oh, look at that. You got a toilet toilet paper. They're literally little baby toilet paper rolls. And that's a 3D printed basket that I purchased from Bush Baby. I can't make them either. I always thought he had 3D printers. Brian said that's a sinking feeling. Huh? Brian, did you see Mitch's here too? Hey Brian. I love how it's funny cause the camera is focusing on your face. Oh, I know, I know. It's fine. So where would we be without Brian? So Brian, just so you know, he's our resident dad joke guy. Like Punter extorted an error. So is there anything you wish you could design and you haven't yet or vice versa? Is there anything you wish that you like I shouldn't ever design this? It's really difficult for me to design anything with organic shapes like a human, an animal, a tree because you just can't really do that in Tinkercad and I'm not well versed enough in the other programs to be able to do that. So those are things that I want to learn how to do. Nice. But everything else that I design is like really just easy shapes. Like I'm really proud of this wolf range I made. Wow, that's crazy. And it lights up in here. Of course it does. Of course it lights up. But wait, you just ripped the front door off. I know it lights up. Well, the door is magnetic. So it hooks on, but like as you can tell it's just shapes. It's just a box and it's come off. Wow. Yeah. It's so cool how you can take stuff and to see it in real life too is like something different than seeing it on camera. All the stuff Lindsey's making. It's a little, you have to do it. Some little things from Anna, let's see what it is. So this is a mascara. Oh my God. I don't know if I'm going to be able to show this. Let's see, we've got to get everybody's faces out. See this? Apparently this is a little mask. Oh, it opens? Oh my gosh. Hang on. Oh my gosh. I don't even know if I can show this. It's too, can you, I don't even know how to show this because it's so small. Look how tiny, I mean, that's a tiny mask. Hang on, hang on. All right, you got to put it back in there. I'm going to mess that up and fix my glasses. Just don't drop it. Yeah, just don't drop it. That is crazy, by the way. What else is in there, did you have? Oh, a little lip, is that open? Is there lipstick in it? You might want to try this one. Did you see what I just did to your mascara? I know, but I can't hold it back. Oh yeah, here, just put it up, like right up into the camera up here. That's awkward. And then we'll look at your face. Look at our faces, they're so cute. This is the craziest thing of, there it is, there it is. Yeah. You actually need a macro camera. Yeah, we do. It's so small. They're so small. Yeah. Yeah, thank you, thank you, Geary, for that. I appreciate that. Like this pencil is one of the smallest things I've ever seen. She's not a genius. She uses a tweezers. Yeah, that's a good one. Tazor, it's not. She's done it before. That is, that's like a pencil, just a little pencil. That's a little pencil. Do you product photography? I mean, how do you do your product photography? Just done an iPhone. Oh, really? With just a macro camera? Camera? Yeah. That's awesome. That's really cool. Today on MicroMakes, there you go. Oops, sorry about that, Geary. So it's funny that you say that. I got the Pixel 7 Pro now. And if you get it close to something like that, it automatically goes into macro mode. And I was like, I hate it. What, I thought it was amazing because you don't know how much I shake. So I'm like, what's going on? And everything's like, but I'm like, oh, it's so close. It looks so nice. Yeah, today on MicroMakes. So, do you have any questions, Mitch? Jump in. I know you asked about the camera. I'm just fascinated by all of this. So I have another question, more for my own personal gain. Because why not? I ordered one of your cameras. It's totally unfinished. And I'm just to paint it. And you paint things that are so tiny. And I'm a very detailed person, but I'm like, I don't even know how to even paint that tiny. What are your tips for finishing things that you print and then paint them? So for the camera, I just spray painted it black. And then when you're painting things that are super small, my best advice is to hold your breath, don't blink, and then go. And don't blink and don't breathe while you're painting it. When you need to take a breath, like set it aside. And then start using like a single, like crystal paint brush or like. A single brush brush. Yeah. She pulls one of the little fibers. Like I need one of these. No. She gets that mascara out and she. I use a nail artist brush like for what they nail artists use to paint. And then, but I have painted things with a single one of my own hairs. Like I pulled out a piece of my hair and dipped it in the paint and was painting with it. That is phenomenal, by the way. You're more funny if you listen to it. Yeah. She's like, oh my God. Yeah. Fix some dude. Was that a number two pencil? Yeah. That was a .2 pencil. Actually, is it .2 millimeter? It's like being a marksman. Yes. Breathe and then hold your breath. For me, it would be like this. I feel like you need one of those a vinchy surgery robots. Yes. I need one of those. You need to like, you know. There you go. No, it's seriously like meditating. You have to like freeze your whole body. Don't breathe. Don't blink. And then just do as much as you can in that one breath. And then. And then pull up through the door. And you're like, no. No. Right. I'm like. Don't touch my brain. I'm going to give you a heads up. I'm going to jump. What is happening in my life right now? That's okay. I'm going to pop your Instagram up because you have some really fun pictures. And then I want to show some people that we're talking about your painting. And it is seriously, it's amazing. And also, Stephen Poole says you need a one or two millimeter nozzle. 100%. I think we were talking about a point to nozzle, right? And I think you can easily get that for your soul. I should, we should probably just hit them up and say like send her some stuff because like seriously, you're already killing it with the FDM stuff. And your proof that I didn't lie about my religious unhappy. Like I still, every single day I'm getting comments that I, that I, it was a little quick baby. But I'm over it. So here's some idea of painting, right? This one right here kind of shows. So it's kind of little, how you're kind of positioning things. And- I love that there's a cow and a bunny rabbit in your nativity. Aw. There's a cow and a bunny rabbit in her nativity. Yes, yes it is. I think that's a bunny rabbit. It's supposed to be a donkey. Oh, sorry. So, oh yeah, donkey. Oh, okay. I like that the people are like simple shapes. Yeah. To make them look like, you know, little- Well, that and nativities are like that. Okay. Yeah. Not that size. We could make this happen, Ed. So, something to note is that you, you FDM printed the outside of this, right? And then you resin printed the drawers and the people. Right. And I think if I remember right, there you go. In the back of this, you actually made a channel for the lighting to run, which I'm trying to remember which video that was in. Oh look, she does make a miniature of herself. No, I didn't make that one. Oh, that was the one else. I didn't even make that, yeah. Mini Misha, shout out. I love it. Can we get Eddie Murphy on this show? Maybe. So, you got a little, little crispy, donkey. I know. Not only did she have to like print those trees, but she decided to like them. There you go. Yeah, lighting them. And you have to hide the wires too. Yeah. Oh man, so do you, do you use miniature LEDs like the little, those little ones? Yeah, so I have, this is the battery. It is teeny. And then the lights are literally like hairs. These are. Oh my God, they're smaller than I thought they were. These are. Oh my gosh. The lights. Yeah, that's crazy. That is tiny. And then they fit, I designed it so that this. Oh, it fits in the model. That's good. Yeah, the battery fits in. It snaps in. Right there. And then these wind around and. The switch is so big. Yeah, the switch is so big compared to like the rest of it. Yeah, the switch goes in there and then I just wire it up. That's so cool. Yeah. Oh my God. But this is something I couldn't do really in resin because it just, it wouldn't work as well. Well, and it's cool that you, you did that so fast. I mean, you had that within what a day or two of getting your FDM printer. And here's the, I think this is a picture. Oh, I thought that was a real size. She made that. Let me pop this open. A baby carrier. That was real. Yeah, this is a picture of like her, a room in a house and the little trees light up. And if you notice, that's it. That's a snow globe, right? That Lindsay sent you. Yeah, Lindsay sent me the snow globe. So Lindsay's been making these little, little obviously baby snow globes like this out of UV curable resin. Can you talk about that? Like, how do you do it? I just found a mold that was on that first I tried putting all the glitter like in there. Like a snow globe would be and it just blocked it too much. And I like glitter. So I was probably putting too much glitter in, but then I decided to use the glitter as the backdrop. Like a mica powder, but that would probably dissolve too much, right? Yeah. Yeah, mica powder. Well, and what's cool is that she has these little tiny ball molds and you do it in layers, right? Yeah, I do the glitter layer and I lay a little object in and then I put the clear on. It's very cool. What's up, Dan? What's up? And I made that light. And I made that light? Oh, no one's looking at it because I'm not sharing it. I know I'm showing you. Hang on, there we go. So if you walk through this, so this is your kitchen at your house, right? No. Yeah, Christmas is hot. Oh my God. What the heck? It's so cool. I sent you one. And they're magnetic too. That is super cool. I love looking like, you kind of just want to live there. I know. That's what I said. I'm going to ask you how much for rent. $100 a milliliter. I like Lindsay's house the same thing. It's going to be way nicer than our house is when she's done with it. One of my favorite things to do is just sit and stare at it. So I guess that's a good question. Are you ever done? Is that something that is the thing? Are you ever done with a house? So you get it, is there ever a point where you're like, I think I'm done now? Probably not. No? It's always something to do or change or add or make. Yeah. So those are just like your real house. Right? Yeah. Oh, here you go. This is the TV, right? Yeah, that's for Samsung. That's cool. That's, you're working with resin. Isn't it so nice not to have put gloves on and do all the things? You take it off the printer and it's almost ready. Yes. Yeah. The warping is a big issue with, you know, the way you orient it and everything. I've always struggled with that. Yeah. And Ed is really, I gotta pause this. Ed is really stuck on, how do you see straight when you're like looking at stuff so little all the time? It's like, you know. It's always glasses. Oh, Rihanna. So then there you go. So this is the TV you made it, it spins around. And this is the house you put it. We showed this a little bit ago, right? A little bit. A little Roomba vacuum. What the heck? Did you design that too? Yeah. Oh, I like the Hex lights too. Yes. Those animate too. Oh yeah. There you go. Up here. Yeah. Did you do that too? Yeah, I designed those. What the heck? That's so cool. Oh, my studio to look like that. So good. Any other questions? I know we're gonna jump into some hot makes. We get to check out some cool stuff that the community is doing too. And we do that every show. Any questions you have? Oh, look at that. I know. A little baby car seat. Like where do you come up with the ideas to make stuff? Like just comes into your head like, oh, I'm gonna try this. Like, I lie awake at night. Like you're working off of or? I literally lie awake at night thinking of like, what do I wanna make next? And then putting it in the notes in my phone. And the list now is like hundreds of items long. And then I think of something else and I probably will never get to them all. I can relate. I get really excited about random things that come to me in the middle of the night. I cannot, I can't. I would never be able to see the actual work, the walk around the street and like, oh, I can make that miniature. I can make that miniature. It starts to happen though. You're like, how could I make that tiny? Is this a little glue stick? Yeah, it's the Elmer's glue stick. What? That's like two millimeters. Just like you can put that on your baby printer on the build plate. But it's funny because like I have fumble fingers. It's definitely, if you watched any of my streams, anyone out there knows this. So what's interesting is that we have an end scale train table, a full diorama train table thing. And they're, they're like tiny. The engines are like this big, right? And we have, I have a problem with those getting them on the tracks and stuff. I cannot imagine trying to deal with Lindsay's laughing because any time I do a project, if there's screws, they're on the ground. Like there's something on the ground. I can only imagine how much you drop like of the little mascaras and Elmer's glues and like- I was just gonna say you could vacuum up your floor and then like reuse everything. Yes. Well, I have played violin since I was four. So I feel like maybe I have nimble fingers from that. That's my excuse. There you go. We play violin. Yes. Oh, you do. You do. There you go. Yeah. Lindsay. That actually was the first thing I did in Resin was I wanted to do the joke of the world's smallest violin. So I printed one. I think it was called millimeters long. And I found a model on Thingiverse and I printed it and then promptly lost it. But there was somebody at the makerspace that had a full-size violin that he made on the CNC router. And so I have a picture of the smallest violin in the F-all of the biggest violin. So don't let him fool you. Mitch here was also on Team Sub-Zero for Battlebots. Yeah. And we actually, we made a miniature Battlebot. Oh, nice. I read the front of that one with like a thin scale or something. Yeah. And he also has a literally a backpack printer. He puts it on his back and he walks around and it 3D prints on his back. Right at the... It's phenomenal. I gotta ask, let's see. I saw some funny games here. Oh, ask her about her Vegas mini show. We need to know about this. Okay, so there is a miniature show in Vegas the weekend of February 24th, 2023 at the Gold, I think it's called Gold Coast Hotel. And there's tons of different vendors that are going. It's mostly modern miniatures, but it's all scales. Barbie 112, Barbie's bigger. I'll be there and I will have a table and I'll be selling. It's my first show that I'm going to be a vendor at. So I'm super excited and it's in Vegas. So let's party. Let's go to Vegas. I'm in. Let's go. I've never been. Oh, let's do it. I'm in. It's a miniature show. Is that mean it's pretty fast if it's a miniature show? No, the whole is actually a miniature and you have to duck it to get into it. I'm screwed. I'm going to be a giant. Like, all right. Well, I tell you what, we got about 10 minutes left. Let's jump into some hot makes and see what some people are doing around in the community. Ladies and gentlemen, here's some hot makes. Well, first we got, yeah, I did. My sister was hopefully a little guy's doing OK with you. If you're if you're first, we got Matt. And he is doing some lithophane. We need some miniature lithophane. Someone mentioned that in the chat earlier. That would be. Can you imagine trying to print a lithophane that small, though? I don't know if it's possible. We'll have to try. Or you could do it. You get the 8K on those frozen 8Ks. That'd be cool. So I don't know if you've seen a lithophane yet. Anna, but literally, you can take pictures. You make it a positive picture. And then when you print it mostly in white, but people do different colors, you print it the thicker part. You put a light behind it, thicker parts and thinner parts show through different. In this case, this is a globe, right? Yeah, I've seen them. Oh, nice. I thought you said no, see that. I'm explaining. And you said yes. Lithophanes are awesome. They're so cool. This is really good, Matt. Matt is like a lithophane guy. So he does some awesome stuff. This is a 400 millimeter tall and a lithophane is 200 millimeters. So that's awesome. Does moon lithophane look really cool? Yeah, for sure. They're difficult to print without support. Oh, now I need to try it. All right, next we've got local maker, Michigan. I do enjoy the painting process, and it looks awesome. As long as you're squinting through a dark sunglasses at 15 feet away. Good thing I printed three more for practice. I got to tell you, yeah, Rat Pink, I got to tell you, this is way better than I will do at 100 feet. So you've seen my painting on the channel. And I usually. And that's full scale, too. Nice. So nice work. What do you think? Can we make this miniature, Anna? For sure. She's like, yes, we can. Nice work. What else we got? Oh, Ellie, Ellie is killing it. So so there's a maker in her community. Her name is Ellie. She has a cheek to develop developed cocoa press. It's a chocolate printer, a chocolate printer. And in this case, she was challenged in the in the community to print a flexible. And she printed an articulating chocolate. That is dope. That's so cool. I. And then she ate it. And then she ate it. Yeah, yeah. What else did you want to name it first? I remember it was so good. So that is probably the world's first articulating chocolate print. Nice work, Ellie. Or Ellie. And I think she did. I think she said she wanted to name it. And I don't remember if she got a name, but we'll have to find out. But that is, it's so cool. All right. I told her, asked her at IRF we saw her in October, if I could lay under it and just like pour the chocolate in my mouth, she said no. This is Shannon Lee Maker, finished a custom commission of handmade domestic steel pendant with. Was this Alges? Sure. Yeah, yeah. So there you go. It's a Damascus steel pendant. Yeah. Do you ever do any metal stuff? Yeah. I haven't yet, but I want to. This is cool. I think it's so cool seeing all these women makers, especially printers, since I feel like printing is such a male dominated. Absolutely. There you go. Now we can kind of see that. Oh, it's so good. I love Damascus anyway. Nice work, Shannon Lee Maker. Well, Liz, we got you next. Say it again. Yeah, she said hi earlier too. Yeah. She's with us. So many roses for gifts. This is Colleen Milliker, silk green, and these are bases in Christmas gold and polytera lava and a whole bunch of other colors. But anyways, roses are from printables.com. I love these. We've seen them a few times lately and every time they're so. Are those printed upside down, right? Flat side down? That looks like it would be. Yeah, it looks like that's how it looks down here. No, this way. Oh. Yeah, there are. I print them on a base. That's cool. That's a good quote. Liz, let us know. I think you're probably right. It probably sits this side down and then prints up. That's a smart way to do it. Nice. I love that. There you go. Another mini flower vase and roses idea. She says she have about 45 of those. Nice. Probably all I'm going to use my V zero for now. Stephen Poole built with a Polymaker 3D filament steel gray. It's a charcoal black and silk bronze. This is a Toymaker 3D 150 plus parts. I believe it's two weeks. Where do you say two weeks in printing? And there's a banana. Wait a minute. An official hot makes banana for scale. There it is. This is the official hot makes banana. We're going to have to make a small banana for Anna. I was just going to say, I need a banana. I know Lama's with us. I saw him chatting already. I'm pretty sure I saw him chatting. We need like a millimeter size banana for scale for Anna in the miniature community. Wouldn't that be 12th scale? It will be 12th scale. So what is that? One inch for every 12, right? Yes. And then I can put it on my miniature stove all when I print and design my miniature stove. Nice. I love this. But this Toymaker makes some really cool designs. And I absolutely love it. Yeah. I love all the pieces that go into this and put together by 3D Gloop, by the way. That's similar to the Godzilla that they had at IRF. Yeah, that was cool. Yep, same maker, too. Nice work there. Local maker, Michigan, once again, I'm thinking about, I think I'm going to go end up printing a bunch of these. I just wanted to bring this one. I know we showed something from him already. But we need to start making some cars for Tristan, I think. That would be so cool. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hey, you got printers. Another idea for a banana meter. Yes. There you go. King Kong, not Godzilla. Yes, thank you. Oh, a nanometer for scale. There you go. Yeah. I bet if he's watching, if Lam was watching, we'll have a miniature banana for scale by the end of the episode. I bet you. He's so fast with that. So anyways, these things are sweet. The lights up, or is it reflected? I think that's reflected. Oh, it's just a great idea. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think they could light up. I don't know if it looks like they're reflected. It's such a cool idea. I love printing stuff like this. I printed some rockets that I did some shorts on last week. I brought them home, and Tristan loves them. He's just like, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Yeah. All right, what else have we got here? We're almost ready. Oh, the open source 3D-printed RC snowmobile V2 will be available soon. Oh, we'll see if we can get one. We'll check this out. There you go. You can make a mini snowmobile. It is already mini, but. We're going to have to battle those. Yes. Sam, if you're watching, deathracer's in the snow. That'd be good for the Rocky Mountain Rap Prop Festival. There you go. If it's snow, it's fun. If it's still snowing. Oh, it will be. In April? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's pretty awesome. Have you ever seen our printed RC stuff? Yeah, when I was watching videos of how to first print stuff. We did deathracer's recently, which is a lot of fun. And I really have a thing for making some airplanes. That's my next thing. I'm going to print some airplanes. Actually, right behind me over here is a bunch of pieces, one of which might be broken in half because the little guy was here. He's like, what's this? I was like, well, there's that. No, not anymore. All right, last but not least, Grafite, this is amazing. This is one-tenth by the Prey... I can't even talk. Prey Collection on Patreon. And I got to pop this open, maybe. There we go. Yes. Oh, from, yeah, teenage movie. Oh, I like the glowing slide. It glows, yeah. That's cool. That's a lot of details. It glows. I'd say that was Rezunner. Yeah, let's see. He doesn't say. It is Rezunprint. Yep, this is Hesham. So it is definitely awesome. He, the painting he does, is just outstanding anyway. Here's a little spinaruni, let's see. Hopefully we're muted. We are, okay, good. I love this. So theoretically, this is a miniature too. Yeah, that's probably close to one-twelfth scale. Awesome. So those are hotmakes for the episode and some pretty fun stuff. It's always cool seeing stuff that you guys do. Don't forget to hit us up. Hashtag hotmakes on the Twitters. We'll work, we got to start just searching Instagram manually because there's a bunch of stuff out there. We just can't do it automatically. So I just need to get on that. She's been getting on me on Facebook. So I know we're close to the end here. One more time. Who are you? Where are you from? Where can we find your stuff? Hi, I am Anna Wright and I live in Los Angeles. I make miniature things, mostly in one-twelfth scale. You can find me on my Instagram, which is little.house.lights. Or on TikTok, Little House of Lights, all one word. And I also have an Etsy called A Little House of Lights where I sell some of my miniature things. Nice. And where can we find you? That's not a place. Go put me on the spot. Surprise. I can't even think of the name of my thing now. Little, making. Making my little house a home. Yeah, but underscores in between all the fours. Everything's in the description below. Mitch, where can we find you? In Wisconsin right now, that's where he is. I am here. Now I'm on Twitter and the Mitch 22 on pretty much everything, or Mitch 3D. Yes, reruns of Battle Boss. Yeah, and not this year. The coming up season, I think in January, we won't be in it, but our fellow Dallas people are gonna be there. So you'll see them online. I really want to see the backpack printer. Oh, I'm gonna pull it up right now. Yeah, pull it up. Where it's on the Twitter. So I don't understand, how does it stay level? So it's a Delta design. So because everything's rigid, it doesn't matter its orientation. It just, it'll print regardless of orientation. So it will just print level to the bed? Yeah, so it's all relative to the bed and it auto-calibrates the bed just like auto-leveling. And so that's level square. I don't have anything recently, unfortunately. I think didn't you post other people watching? Yeah, I think Justin has something too. Justin almost there. Justin Brick, where he was, I kind of had him be my backpack person. And so, yeah, unfortunately, so I've been actually live streaming recently, but that's something else. Yeah, so, man, I haven't even had pictures of the backpack printer yet, because if you go on, go on my TikTok. Oh, TikTok. Yeah. Oh boy. Oh, here we go. Is that the Halloween costume? Just show that. That's funny enough. Hang on. This is, I mean, So my boyfriend made that, but yeah. But basically, yeah, so it's an Amazon backpack frame, but I actually made the steel frame that mounts it to the printer. And the printer is a Delta designed by CME CNC. And I modified all the parts on it. So, but the biggest part is that it just, it runs off of like lithium batteries. So I get about two hours of print time. There we go. There we go. Don't you get hot wearing it? It's about 35 pounds. But like, if you're not running on it, I mean, it's not something I'd wanna run with, but you can run with it. I've actually had Joel telling a pretty friend that last time he wore it, he was able to run with it as it was printing. And it doesn't skip a beat. It doesn't skip layers in. That is amazing. That is so cool. It might make an appearance someday. I have other plans for my next project. Awesome. That's the backpack printer. And I know we're a little bit late, but I appreciate it. And thank you so much for being here. I know we got a full house with everybody. Lindsey, thank you for coming too. And Mitch, I know you're up here. He chatted me and he's like, I'm gonna be in Wisconsin. Yeah, they sent me here for work. And I was like, hey, I know somebody. So, but yeah, hang out right there. We'll be right back with you, Anna. And everybody else, thank you guys so much for being here. Thank you for watching. Every Monday vote, though, don't forget to vote if we may or may not move hotmakes for the next year. And we're not, yeah, we're not moving into the weekend. But don't forget to vote. There's a link in the description and there's a link being broadcast right now in the chats. Geary, anything else we have? Next week we're gonna have a fun stream, right? Always. It's always a fun stream. Yeah. What was that? I just said we always do. We definitely always do. All right, well, everybody else, thank you guys so much for being here. Anna, hang out. We'll be right back with you, everybody. Have a great week. We'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.
