 What is up everybody? Welcome to Hot Makes right here on Hot Makes. I'm Nerdy J and this is Shannon stuck in California. How you doing Shannon? I legitimately, I don't know what I'm doing right now guys because I can't get out of LA. I was supposed to leave on Saturday that turned into Sunday. I now cannot leave until tomorrow. I'm sorry if it's very loud and I'm delayed here. I'm on my phone because that's all I have. And yeah, it's been an experience. Well, you made it and that's what matters. So it looks like you're outside. It looks like an overcast day in California but I bet you it's still much warmer than I am. Yeah, you know what? It's been like chilly and cloudy. It's kind of like partly cloudy right now so the sun's been out but it's, I don't know. It's been cold. I'm not happy about it. I don't know what you mean by cold but I can tell you it's 42 degrees here right now. Yeah, it's only been like 50 or 60 and I don't like it. Well, you had a fun trip. Did you end up going to the cons this weekend? Yeah, I'm gonna tell you right now my trip started off very, very chaotic and unhappy. It resolved itself because I got to stay longer ironically from these delays. But yeah, that meant I got to enjoy the entire day at the convention instead of just like a half a day. But I honestly walked in heels for like 12 hours and I can't feel my legs right now. I should have looked it up. I should have looked but we want to see some Wanda pictures so. There's a couple on Instagram like. We'll have to find some and bring those up. Instagram or Twitter because I know I just put some on Twitter too. So Yuri can do some background work if you guys want to see them. Background work, I like it. Everybody's like lucky her, she's in California. What's up, what's up? Hot makes fam. We got to get some of these comments popping up on the screens. That way you can see him at least. It's windy, about to blow down the house, somebody says. But yeah, I mean, it's been an awesome week. Another week has gone by. And. I'm terrified, left my face on the screen. Oh, yeah, there you go. There's some, there's some of the Wanda con. I didn't share a lot of them yet. There's a huge group Marvel shot that was about like literally 15 times the size of that magic Wanda, whatever shot. Like that whole staircase was taken up and it's crazy. That's awesome. I saw that earlier. I don't think I hear that word before that one. Yeah, that was Facebook's private stuff, unfortunately. Yeah, I would not pull that. I would not pull that because there are people in that post that did not want pictures shown yet. But I appreciate you asking. We won't show that one. We won't show that one. That was awesome. It looks like you meant Christoph from Sinister Props. He was Star-Lord of one of those pictures. I don't know if you're watching, Chris. I was actually just talking to him and I had to say, hey, hold up. I gotta do a hot mix real quickly right back. Super fun guy. We have never met in person, honestly. And he is amazing. He hung out with me all day. We had Danny who was on the week before. Nice. He was a mutual friend. He went with us as well. He had to pop out for half the day. So I chilled with Chris the whole day and it was wonderful. He is so much fun. Nice. I was actually saying, hey, I saw myself. Hey, buddy. He's commenting in the chat there. I'm talking you up right now. Nice. I cannot wait. We have some really cool stuff with him coming up on the channel and all that stuff. So I'm super pumped. I'm super pumped. But yeah, I mean, another awesome week. I put my first video out on the Edgitech channel in the new studio and a lot of great comments. I appreciate you all watching it. It's been a very good video. And one of the best comments ever is, you can kind of see them above my head. Here's one right here. I put these new shelves, I guess they're shelves up. And there's nothing on them yet. And so I filmed this video with like, they're empty. There's completely empty shelves right now. And in one of the shots, I think I took the two test prints for the S1 Pro and the 3S1 Pro. And I put them on the background of the shelf just to see if anyone noticed. And one of the biggest comments I got is like, you got to put stuff on your shelves. It's empty. Why is it so? It looks great, but it's empty. So here's my challenge. I think in the description below, there's an address. If you guys want to see something cool on the background of one of my videos, hit that address up. Send me something cool. We'll open it here on HotMakes. And then I'll throw it on the shelf back there for a video. I'm still trying to dial in what I want on those shelves, but I got to put something on them. And what better to do, community stuff. So check out that post below. I believe that I don't believe I'm pretty sure Geary can confirm. But I believe in the description below is an address still and perfect. So yeah, if you guys shoot something to that address, I will unbox it here on HotMakes and one of the shows. And then I'll put it on as long as it's appropriate. I'll put it in the background for one of the videos I filmed coming up. And that way, there's some cool stuff on the shelves. And it means more than just me putting random crap on the shelves. So I'm going to throw that out there. Real quick, I'm sorry, but I'm seeing the comments. And I see you guys on Twitch right now. Somebody rated us. I don't know who or which one of you guys. But I want to say thank you. And I'm so sorry because I'm on my phone. I don't have my laptop. Nobody is watching Twitch right now. And I can't, I can't shout you guys out. Nice. Old curmudgeon, Kiran, Ethan's dad. A whole bunch of people came over. I know, you guys are awesome. I'm so sorry. Also, I'm sorry. I jumped on here like a minute before we went live. So I'm going like, I'm sorry. No, I didn't know if we should, like, I didn't think you were going to be here tonight. So I didn't know if we should stream on your Twitch or not. So I didn't have it turned on. OK, then we're not going to have the channel being rated. So awesome, guys. Thank you. No, he just turned, he turned yours on too. So that's awesome. Hey, and Senator Props says we want to see a lightsaber. You're definitely going to see at least one lightsaber back there when we get those on there. That's a family friendly joke, guys. Yeah, family friendly. Yeah, that. David Wilson, I saw your comment. Another clock is on its way. Man, you are killing it with your sweet clocks. He has got some awesome clocks. He sent me the really cool one. You can't see it. That's right over right over here right now. And then he has some really cool ones that he's working on. We'll have to get some shots of those. I don't think I saw him on the Twitter's. But anyways, tech savvy hero. Welcome. You finally caught one live. But we have a really cool guest today, too. I don't want to, you know, wait too long to bring him in because I am super pumped for our guest, you know, Shannon. And you've been on some streams with him recently, I think, too. We feature Matt's stuff almost weekly, almost weekly here. And we had to get Matt on. But let's bring him in, ladies and gentlemen, Matt German, the mastermind behind the color lithophane. Let's bring Matt on. Hey, Matt, how are you? Hey, everybody. Thank you for letting me come to the show. Man, we are pumped to have you here. Thank you. Before we go too far, I got some bubbler. I don't know if you have bubbler out by you, but it's VUBBLR. It's caffeinated water and it's addicting. It's super good. So let us know in the chat what you're drinking while we get going. There you go. I actually, my Danny's roommate went out and bought me Mountain Dew, guys. Like, I'm just living it up for a minute. I thought you were done with the dew. I did do it, and it appeared. I love it. Well, welcome, Matt. And I'm super pumped, man. Before we get too far, let's tell everybody, number one, what you do, where we can find you, and that kind of thing. And then I want to dive right in to what you got working on, because you have some cool stuff to show us. Yes. Well, my name is Matt German. I'm originally from Germany. And part of me going into 3D printing is I became ill, suffered with PTSD. And this helps me to control my fears and anger. And it's just beautiful looking at a picture and making a picture. And I'm very selective with my pictures. And yeah, like what you see up there, this side. This one I made, this was my fourth lithophane picture. Wow. And yeah, I think I just hit the mark. And my minimum settings are basically 1 mil to 4 max. And yeah, you can find me on Facebook mainly. I prefer to be contacted on Facebook if you have any lithophane questions or willing to answer. Do you have a page on Facebook that people find yet? Yes, it's tucked out 3D pictures or on Matt German. That's for Matt German. We will see. Love it. So let's dive into that. For one, that is super cool that you got into it as a way to kind of bridge your PTSD and kind of keep that under control, because you love the pictures. I'm sure the process you love, because you got some really cool stuff. But when you said you're very selective with your pictures, say you choose that picture. You get the perfect one. What's the process from there? Do you use a website to create them? Do you, I mean, what do you use with? Like I started at the beginning and no one knew about this. And you're going to walk us through kind of how you would do it. I use a program called Lubin. It's a lithophane maker. Also, you can use it for CNC, laser, and a few other things. Sure. Yeah, there's several different settings what you can choose from in Lubin. You have your flat pictures, your round circles, like this round lamp. And well, then you punch in your data, how big you want it. Of course, what you have to watch out for is the millimeter of how thick you make it. Each, it depends also on the filament what you're using. So it depends if the filament lets more light through, you have to make it a little bit thicker. So if the filament darker like gray, I would make it thin. Interesting. Yeah. So does it, do you print it like multicolor at once? Do you do two pieces and lay them together? How do you make it color? That's another process. What I do is I print first the lithophane out. This is black and white. This is how I produce the lithophane. And then I print out with a inkjet printer, a regular piece of, on the regular piece of paper, a special piece of picture, a special picture. And I can show that to you of how it roughly looks. Hold on and share my screen of that. Shane has given you a hard time. He says, I don't hear those 49, 88s. Is this actually Matt? Nice. Langley, BC, Canada, how you doing? Jerry, how's it going? There's a lot of awesome people in the chat today watching us with Matt. So Matt's looking up some cool stuff and we're talking to him about the color lithophane. I'm super pumped because I need to do this. Also, what I do is with Cura, I just download Cura on my computer and use the basic settings the way it comes. I just put in my profile for my printer, what I'm using, the basics, and then I change four settings, the millimeter of how big the layer height is. Then I do, what was the other one? The thickness of, oh, what's it called? I'm getting the stutters now. Sorry, guys. No worries, no worries. I'm doing two things at once. Yeah, you're fine. Yeah, take your time. There's no rush at all. I know you were looking for the inkjet printout, I think. I kind of threw another question at you. Local Maker Michigan says Matt's a litho master. True. Astro printer says this is the most I've heard Matt talking years. Oh, come on, guys. Matt's always talking about it. So these guys are the guys that you stream with and talk to a lot, so they're just giving them out of hard time. I am going to shout out, I think we got another raid as well somewhere in there. So, guys, I am not manning Twitch right now, so I can't do shout outs, but thank you. Welcome to the crazy. Yeah, let me show my picture. Can I show my screen? Yeah, you should be able to. Let's see. Hey, by the way, Andrew, $10 on the PayPal's, $10, whatever floats your Benchy, he says, and the Council of Andrews is with us also. All right, yeah, go ahead. OK, perfect. Let me pop that in there. There you go. There you go. On this side right here, the left side, you see the special picture of what I was talking about. This is the picture of what I print out. And once I print it out on a regular piece of paper, I stick it behind it. The lithophane, I glue it with glue stick on. I try using fast acting glue, but this is kind of a no-no because it sometimes transfers the color over. It's too wet. OK. So glue stick is the best choice to do. And this is basically the regular picture on the right-hand side. Yeah, that's all we're going to share. Nice. That's awesome. And it looks like Astro Printer rated twice. So thank you, Astro Printer. Thanks, man. You are amazing. I'm very sorry that I can't do the shout-out, so I don't have my laptop on me. So Matt is also a professional giveaway winner, someone said. That's awesome. That's super cool. Somebody says he says, three times giveaway, I appear. That's awesome. So we've been talking a little bit about the lithophanes, and it looks like you print the lithophane, then you take a color picture, and you print it on like an inkjet or a color printer, and then you said you glue stick it on. So it's on the back of that. Now, it looks like you have a bunch. I know we have a second camera. Can we go see some of those in live? Yeah, do you want me to pull up your other camera, or do you want to leave this one? Let me show this one first. OK. There you can see the picture. Oh, in the top left of the screen, I see it now. There you go. Right here. Oh, I can pull up my biggest thing. Hold on. Let me pull that up. Here you go. They can see the paper and what I put behind it. This one is not that picture, what I made. And it has some in it's not perfect. I had one under extrusion right there, one tiny little bit in the dress, but otherwise it came up perfect to the picture. That looks awesome. And this is actually a painting, the famous painting. I do find that paintings work very well doing lithophane. And this right here is my very first alien one. Wow, that's huge. Yeah, this is 290mm high by, I think, 118mm wide by 5mm thick, the borders. Wow. A sinister prop says, interested to know what he uses for lights in the back to illuminate them. This is just a regular light. OK. One of those little lights, what you can turn around. Sure. No twist around. That looks awesome. Yeah, that is really nice. I showed this one yesterday on Astro Printer Stream. And I'm going to use my other camera later to show you some other pictures better. Sure. That's awesome. This is one of my biggest pictures that I've printed so far. That's the second biggest picture. It is 310mm high by 290mm wide by 8mm thick. 8mm thick? Yeah, the borders. Holy moly. Someone asked, what layer height do you use? I use 1mm. OK. I don't go any higher than that. Sorry, are you saying 0.1 on the layer height? Or? Yeah. OK. So you probably use, is it a 0.4 nozzle? And then you use 0.1. OK, perfect. That's awesome. What printers, those are big prints. What do you have? Is that a CR-10 in the background? No, no, all of those are GTECs. Oh, GTECs, OK. Yeah, GTECs A30 Pro. And then I have a GTEC A30M. This is the dual color. But I got rid of the dual color because I take too much maintenance. They're very nice in using your leftover spools. But they're too much maintenance. They're clocked really easily. Got it. So I converted them over to A30 Pros. So yeah. Very cool. So Ed C says, how do you line up the lithophane picture so the lines match, the lithophane and the picture? Sorry. OK, with square pictures, this is the easiest way to do to get in my line. What I do is I, if the picture is 165 mil in size and your borders are 5 mils thick, you have to reduce them by 1 centimeter or 10 mil. So you count this border and that border 5 mil. So you have 10 mil, basically. And you deduct it from the 165, so you have 155. And then you have to put that in your printer settings that the printer prints it out in that size. And then you leave the 5. And you're talking about the inkjet printer now. Yes, the inkjet printer. Sure. And then you just leave the corners out. I use a straight razor or hold on where this. I'll let me get that quick. That's so cool. I'm sorry about the noise. No worries. Cut my paper. Oh yeah, perfect. Like a paper cutter. Yeah, it's a paper cutter. That's cool. So basically you size it, you print it and then measure and size whatever you're printing on your inkjet printer to match. Yeah. And then I cut it with that and glue it on. And also I always make it with borders because borders are much more easier to control. If you make a mistake with a picture and cutting it, you can shovel it around a little bit because you give yourself 5 mil each side. That makes total sense. A little bit left. Yeah. That's great. And keep the questions coming. We're loving the questions because these are such some good ones here. I mean, like I said, we show everybody tags your stuff. So it's awesome because we get to see a lot of the birds that you do. I think the last few ones have been birds actually. And it's just such a cool process. I thought until this stream, I thought you were printing like a multi-color print and putting that on the back or something like that. But I didn't even know what would do air quotes when I say this as easy as just inkjet printer. And nobody's cheating. I see that too. But I wish I could make some really true colorful little things because that is the ultimate goal of mine. And but it's so expensive. So the machines to buy, you know, you can do multi-colors. Well, and I have I have a transition. Yeah, there'd be a definitely a lot of transition. So I made like last year, I pre-ordered the Palette 3 Pro. And I have it sitting over here. I just have not even unboxed yet. I need to get that done. And I really want to play with it and start learning how to do like you're saying that you can do eight colors in the Palette 3 Pro. So I could do a whole mix, you know, of some cool stuff. And I think to give you a tip, if you ever want to print a lithophane with that machine, I would recommend to do a cartoon character because the cartoon characters, the colors are split up easily. OK. So if you have, let's say, a picture of me, that would be more complicated to do than the cartoon picture. Nice. It's just easy, you know. Sure. Yeah, that's that's great advice. I love making lithophane in general, but I never I could. I never did the color ones and I always wanted to. So nineteen seventy seven all out, it says. Oh, yeah. Probably pronouncing that incorrect. Are all the prints FDM or also resin? You do any. Yes. Yes, I do resin and I can show that too. Yeah, hold on. Let me switch over to my second camera. OK. This is the resin print. That looks that looks like it's a good size. You have a banana for scale. Can we see how big that is? She is. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Banana for scale. I love it. It's so good. Yes, it's about time. Yeah, I have a second one, too. All right. If you put the banana right on it, like how how big? OK, cool. And I have a warm banana now. I don't know how big the banana is. Do you have a banana for scale? Ah, yeah, he has a second banana for scale. I love it. I love it. So what that's a pretty good size resin print. What do you use for that? My frozen Sonic Mighty 4K. Oh, that's a big printer. OK, yeah. So you got a big frozen Sonic Mighty. Any cubic I have. Nice. It's a very nice printer, too. I use mostly for little stuff. Sure. And that's some of my other prints, but they're mainly FDRM prints. And yeah, yeah, I have warm color light and they have white color lights. Oh, very cool. The one color light gives more of an evening effect compared to the white ones, like a day effect. So, yeah, I know this one is one of my favorite ones. Yeah, that's gorgeous. Details is just amazing on those. And this was FDM as well, right? Yes, FDM. Wow. So, oh, man, those are great. So when you do, as you're showing us these, when you do the resin, right? All that, there you go. I remember that one. When you do the resin, what is your orientation? So is it straight up and down? Is it angled with supports? OK. I do use support for the bottom. Otherwise, the bottom is very hard to get off the shelf. Sure, sure. So. And this one, you've seen this one before, too. Wow, yeah, I love that with the water drops flying everywhere. That's so cool. And I made some special ones. They're called Balloon Lithophane. Let me plug it in. This one is one of my canned designs, what I made. Nice, nice. And just the detail is amazing. Yeah, you can like read that. Wow, that is that is FDM. Huh? Yeah. Nice. I think Garrett over at 3D Printfarm did a how to do a coke can with your resin printer. And I thought that was a really cool option. And this is pretty. Oh, that is cool. Nice. This is if anybody wants to buy the frames of me, I will be there. And I will be selling some of my little things. And I will sell one times one time out of the year. Oh, very cool. Where where is that located? Stuck on Trent, England. It's going to be a book fair. Sure. And I'm the only person who have 3D printing stands there. Oh, nice. Hey, Shannon, sinister props says you should make Shannon a can of Mountain Dew. Yeah, I can do that. I have that, actually. This is one of my FDM lamps. That's one took me eight days to print. Whoa. Hey, is anybody going to address the elephant in the room? I think we're doing that now. And this one is from about two hundred and fifty. Two hundred and fifty mill. Well, large and the bottom angle. I think that area is from about one hundred and fifty mill and the top is two. Two hundred, I believe. Wow. So that's awesome. So can you take me off? Do you have LEDs up in those lights or do they get or? Yes. OK, I was going to say that might get warm if you didn't. Can you take me off, please? Sure. Thank you. Hi. There we go. OK. There we go. Perfect. That was really cool. Thank you. Yeah, I love. Right. That's so cool. And it's I think we had a comment. Are they are they normal inkjet prints? Or do you do something special before you print them? Like, is that a trade secret or is that something you can share? So is there anything like properties wise that's that's the same or turned off or anything? Or is it I do think certain inkjet printers or printers are different? Like, OK, no, of all. All printers are different from Creality to GTX and so on. The same thing is with inkjet printers. I use Epson, the eco refill tanks. OK. And they have a really nice selection. I think the colors are just nice. And even though they're the basic colors, but even color from this company, the brand color from the other brand color are slight differences, even so it's green and green, you know, and yellow and yellow. Do you do anything special to the picture before you print it? When you're do you have to edit it or do you just say, here's the picture? I'm going to size it to this and print it. No, I don't do nothing to the picture at all. That's nice. Lou Ben does it itself. When I make the program the FDL file, I create a special picture with it. And like what I showed you on that special picture with no black in it. And that one will print out then. And yeah, nice. That's very cool. That is that is super cool. I want how I want the apple of Newark in it. Nice. Have you tried printing on he's curious as have you tried printing on transparency film for the color background? Yes, my problem was if it gets wet and it's standing on the window, it does transfer the color over to the lithophane. And so I don't like to use it very much. Interesting. I wouldn't have thought about that. Yeah, I didn't think about the bleeding either. That could be a weird effect, though. That's why it's a paper because when the regular paper gets wet, it gets kind of bubbly effect. But when it gets dry, it kind of presses itself again back on. So but you still have bubbles, but the picture still will be perfect. Like, hold on. This one knows what doesn't have any bubbles. This one had a few bubbles. I don't know if you can see the bubbles, because this one was standing in front of the window. OK, and this is what will happen. The condensation in the morning will basically come to the window and start attacking the paper. But the picture still comes out nice because that's the Star Wars. Or no, that's not Star Wars. That's the woman in the. Sure. That's very cool. It's definitely something that I knew nothing about. So this is your thing forever, Matt. You should print like a light up lithophane suit and then like just fill it full of lights inside and then you could turn your suit on and it will be all like lithophane. Yeah, that would be you probably you probably can change out the armor, you know, the armor of the Iron Man suit and then have like a handle. What is the lithophane? Yeah, yeah, you can do each piece of armor has its own scene from the movie or one of the movies. Huh, huh? That's going to be heavy. Very true. It definitely will be heavy, but it will be it would be like something that nobody's seen before. I mean, I thought about to do R2D2 droid in lithophane's because instead of having the metal chassis and then having lithophane around it everywhere, I thought about like an advertising droid or something. Yes, yes. And then you could just slide in and out panels for someone that wants to advertise. Yeah, Sam Prentice, I don't know if you're watching. We need you on that stat. Like, you know, get get a droid ready for for Matt to start putting panels in. It'll just be like replaceable panels. I'm R2D2. Also, go to McDonald's. Advertising. But I also was thinking about to do a Star Wars identification card in lithophane and have it like a hundred mil by maybe seven point five mil high and then have a little light box behind it and then have it like the picture of the person and where he lives. Driver's license, similar to a driver's license ID, you know. Right. That's cool. But it's Star Wars style. I love it. Well, I think we're we see some pretty dang awesome stuff. I was just checking the time. We probably should jump into some hot makes. I am going to I'm going to make an executive decision to change the first one, not not the maker. The maker is not changing. Just just the actual post that I pulled up from that maker. But yeah, stick around. Let's let's do some hot makes and then we'll come back to you. Are you cool with that, Matt? Mm hmm. All right. I didn't even I should have watched your drinking. I'm asking you a question here. Everybody else in the chat, if you have questions for Matt about the color lithophane, keep shooting them out there. We'll keep asking them. We're going to jump into the background for you. Perfect. And we'll jump into sometimes clearly because sometimes my I want to say so many things and it just like, ah, why doesn't the words come out of my mouth the way they come out, you know? And I understand that completely. And I'm not I'm not a natural speaker. I'm very shy person. Well, you're doing an awesome job. And you have I mean, your stuff all behind you like it speaks for yourself, really. I mean, you can just show your camera on that all day and I would be like, cool. But I think we should jump into some cool stuff. Do you think Cortana can be made into a litho? Maybe he's a gentleman. Let's jump into some hot makes. Let's do it. So we'll get Cortana, Cortana lithophane and Aguirre lithophane and we'll have a lithophane of droid's duel or something. I like this idea. I like it, too. It'll be it'll be awesome. Cortana as in Halo Cortana or as Cortana as in the program, good, good one. I like that. Well, so never mind. I think he would more go for Cortana, the speech engine. So right, it's that Alexa. He doesn't like. We just don't talk about her. So OK, quick, fun fact, the Cortana from Halo in the Cortana like AI from Microsoft. They're the same Cortana because Microsoft owns Xbox and they own the Halo and Jen Taylor, who did the voice of Cortana also did the voice of the Cortana AI. It's a cool little reference. Oh, that's a trick question. A lot of people don't know that. I did not. That's a great thing. I learned something new today. Just like I learned today that Matt and Charlotte are friends over at the Rogue Gum Shield. They're doing a benchy a day. They are so close today. They posted day three hundred and forty nine. This is now at ease. Everybody at Marvel at this Magnificent Magnificent Magnificent sample 3D fingerprint. This is Army Dark Green Matt PLA and a great benchy. Very phenomenal benchy. But but like the big thing is this is day three hundred and forty nine. You guys are so close to being done with your benchy a year project. And we really got to get these guys on the show sometime soon so we can talk about a year of printing benchies. I think that what do you think, Shannon? We definitely need to get them on. I mean, listen, like power to you guys. I've never printed a benchy. I remember last year they started this and we were like, yes, if you know anyone that wants to send them film at Senate, I got to see this and I mean, they are so close to being done now. This is so cool. That's that's great. I mean, seriously, it's very impressive. I'm like, I'm on a streak of how long I can go without printing one. I think I think it's just the the print a day thing. Like one print day, even if it's a benchy, whatever, that's pretty cool. That streak is very dedicated. I did not see what finally, finally, functional said, but all right, let's keep moving. He was asking if the Halo TV show was any good. Oh, I have not seen it. I haven't seen it, but I heard it is. No spoilers. But I haven't seen it. I thought about it and then Lindsay, my wife was like, don't we have to care about Halo first? I was like, listen, I paid. I played the first two. All right, if you if you haven't played the game, if you don't care about Halo, you might like it. Oh, that's even better. In Halo 4, I used to be 29th place in the world and. Oh, wow. Barton ops update in the competition. And I came 29th place in the world. I know so many like really good video game people. And that that's something I learned. I have a friend who's like was number one with FIFA before. That's you guys are impressive. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I I didn't I played. I was probably like last in the world or something. I I'm just like, I'm going to run around and jump in this car and drive some run some people over. But excuse me. All right, next up, we got embedded wireless LEDs into a 3D printed marbles by pausing mid print. So they're wireless LEDs embedded into 3D printed marbles. And he did it or they did it by pausing mid print here. Hopefully my oh, we don't have music. OK, that is super cool. For one, what the heck is a wireless LED? I need to know this like that's individual wirelessly. People are using them for like Lego sets and stuff. It's like a panel and like kind of like wireless charging. They're just little LED pixels that are powered by the panel underneath. So as long as you have the item on that panel or on that surface, it'll it'll light up. You can kind of see, yeah, when they pull the LED away from the thing, it turns off. I want that for rescue. Yes, this is really dramatic. Adreno makes these. These are super cool. Inductive power transmission. I wonder if it has to be in that circle, because there's there. Yeah, that circle appears to be whatever is generating the current. Yeah, you could do this on one of your suits, Shannon. I know that. If you had, yeah, like the actual, you know, in the center, you could pull it out and it would stop glowing. And then you push it back in and it would be like for the arc. And yeah, phenomenal. No, I you guys are killing me because I have to go home and fix that suit too in like two days now. Now I'm like, oh, well, this fancy stuff I could be doing. You have to actually get home first. So yeah, don't even. I love it. Max distances around four inches. All right, what do we got next? Lightspeed, he says, enjoy this. Enjoy hot makes. Let's see. Wow. Record setting twisty vase thingy. 500.5 percent on his rat rig with five kilograms of rainbow silk PLA. Five kilograms. Let's think about that for a second. This video is reversed because there's some movement. It's so weird. Yeah. What did they just do to it? Oh, yeah, I think you're right. Processing that. I think the whole I think everybody watching right now just went, what? I'm pretty sure it's also reversed, but. That's pretty awesome. Stephen, if you're watching, I need to know what magic voodoo is this? Because that looks pretty cool. There's no comments here, but I can tell you right now, the magic voodoo is change speed to negative 100 percent. True. I think you're right. Because normally you would drop that in and it would spin. So cool. All right. What else? What else we got? Original BFG. We just, you know, we may have just had him on recently, right? No, no. Yeah, we did. I know, I'm just, I was like, anybody, anybody going to answer? Guess we'll need to wait and be on next week's hot makes. Yeah, exactly. I like that. Adafruit industries make robotic sea creatures or sea critters with cricket and. Cricket. Interesting. Playground Express. I need to both pop this bad boy a full screen so we can see what the heck is going on. This is printers are modeled or printed in magnetic PLA. Hopefully you can hear that mysterious glowing jar. In this project, we're making animatronic sea critters. Oh, yeah, it's it's freaking me out because they're calling it cricket and I have a cricket maker like the actual cutter vinyl cutter kind of thing. And wow, this is a magnetic PLA. Can you guys hear this? I don't know. That's funny. Last last last fish standing. It's it's cricket playground. OK, that's not confusing at all if you're a maker and you have multiple machines and one of them is called a cricket. But that's pretty cool. Magnetic PLA and the the circuit here. I don't know. There's some cool stuff I see we could do with that. Anybody else out there? What do you think, Matt? Could you make your lithophane spin or something with? I mean, I don't know. I don't think I can use the magnetic properties, but. Print, you could print a cylinder and the bottom, you know, like do a layer change. The bottom will be your magnetic PLA. And then you do the lithophane around the cylinder. Yeah, I can do that, probably, but why? I think I think just the machine itself, like I have one of those rotating ones, right? Just put it on one of those to have a lamp LED light inside and it rotates. Well, it's just easier to say to say. My so my grandparent, my grandfather was a dot matrix printer. They they had these cool little Christmas like displays that they would put out that had kind of a magnetic base like that. And the little ice skaters would go around on a mirrored panel. They look like ice. I bet you can make custom versions of that stuff, too. Yeah, I remember those two in the Mike. My grandma had like a whole village, you know, and she had the ice skating people. Shannon just got found out. People are walking by like, who are you talking to? I'm not talking to anybody, but I had you guys muted because the cars and then Danny decided to be very, very energetic and throw a window open. And I'm not sure what's happening right now. Shannon's like, I am very much so on live stream. People in the background are like, are you on TikTok? All right, what do we got next? Game body. Oh, this is cool. STL files of the Star Destroyer. The 3D printing has completed his 130 percent. We featured this last week, I think. What's cool is game body actually posted it. So, yes, that's a human for scale. Is that how close the studio scale that is? I don't know. But if you look closely in that fruit basket, I think there's probably a banana mate there might be. I see everything except the banana. This is anarchy on a DJ. What I didn't mention either. Most of my list of things what I make actually go to charity. Oh, nice. I didn't know that. That's cool. Like one is a mental health charity. One is Enabler. It's also a mental health charity. They work with several different disabilities and they're wanting to teach me how to make prosthetic arms. And I was asked to create a lithophane and create an arm for it. OK, so that sounds really cool. So, do you sell them on a store or something to raise money or do you do it at that book fair once a year? I do this once a year. I do this at the book fair. This is the first time that I do that. And when I make my lithophane, they go over to the charity and they auction them off or they give them away in the presence. Very cool. That's awesome, man. That's a great cause. Somebody said, how long did that take? Four to five months. Of dedicated work, it says. All right, we're going to keep moving. We got a lot to do. I just realized what time it was. Man, we're talking about lithophane so much. I'm losing track of time here. Pocah-nerd space says the lamp is finished, about 30 hours of printing combined on the Prusa Mini and MK3S. Let's see, model. Thank you for linking the model. I appreciate that. I'm super happy with the print because it's awesomeness and a kind of so very cool. Yeah, this is awesome. I like this a lot because it's a functional print. It looks really cool. And I mean. But you could make a lithophane out of it. I was just going to say, my next sentence was you could turn this into a lithophane lamp. You could use this for your lithophanes. It could be a lithophane lamp, lighting a lithophane. Like the lithophane lamp can't... Okay, whatever. You guys know what I'm trying to go with here. It has been a week anyway. Put one of those around it that like, that I just wanted to say Pixar at this point. Yes, it's stomped right on the eye. Very cool. I love that project. Nice work. And thank you for linking where it is because I might have to check that out. I think this would be a cool addition to the shelves behind my set to have a cool light like that on. And it would cast some of those shadows away too. So I might have to check those out. And though somebody wants to make one and shoot it over because I would definitely feature it if you did. You can make a lithophane print to the lab. Everybody's on the same page. That was super cool. All right, what do we got next? Can we make a lithophane that has a picture of the lamp on it and then light it by the lamp? Yes. Yes, yes. We should make a lithophane lamp that's lighting a picture of the lithophane lamp. Okay. No, no. Full circle. This is just like what we have sometimes when we have sharing our page with a picture in a picture, picture in a picture. And then. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think the effect will be coming out clearly, if you do it too many times. We'll get this sorted, I think. So, sinister props as lithoception. Yes. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what I thought. In a world where we have lithophane lamps lighting lithophanes in lamps. Anyways, all right, what do we got here? Let's see, Jordan Mad Monkey. It's time. We've been sitting on this monster for a while now waiting to get, waiting for the right weather for pictures. I had to read that twice, because I'm like, wait, you wait for weather for pictures? But anyways, he got a picture. Yeah, we're getting three for a lamp. Yeah, that's true. I was stuck on lamps. Photos Mint Samurai figure scaled up to 350%. It's nearly 20 inches tall with a 10 inch sword. Check this monster out. Nice. That looks clean, very clean. Very cool. I love, I need some giant ones these are put in front of my house, I think. All banana for scale. Yeah, yeah. Oh, it's 10 inches tall. So, I would say a little longer than a banana. That's really cool. Mad Monkey, Jordan, nice work on that. Oh, here's some more pictures here. Point two layers and a 3D gloop, of course. Man, that's so good. I'm not sure, I never work with 3D gloop. It's magic. I don't think I can get it in the UK, I have to see. That's a good question. I'm not sure either, but it's stuff is, it's magic. Yeah, at Murph, they have basically a giant tug of rope that they attach handles to side to side, like this, essentially. And they just put 3D gloop between them, so there's nothing holding it. And then they have a whole bunch of people on each side doing a tug of war on these handles and it doesn't break. It's just, the stuff is, and they make it for PLA PETG, I believe ABS. So you want the formula for the filament you're using, but the stuff is great. Do they have filament like if you want ABS and PLA together? I don't know. That's a good question, because that does not. I'm going to ask that question once before, because not ABS, but I want to know like with PLA and TPU. Yeah, I don't know that that would work. Someone in the chat let us know. Yeah, I think you're right. The properties are definitely different. And those two, like you try to print them with each other and they do not stick together very good at all. Nope. All right, what do we got next? Chris, MCH. Chris won, or Krispy, whatever you want to call it. Chris is killing it. This is such a cool birdhouse, almost done printing it says. And someone tagged this. I love this idea with the birdhouse. And like you were talking earlier with the colored cartoon lithofanes, this would be a cool project for a picture because it's very solid colors, right? Yeah. I mean, the thing is, if you have dark colors, it will come out not so well. If you have too many light colors, it needs to be the right proportion of between light and dark and the colors, of course, to make a colorful picture. Nice. Yeah. I love it. This is the thing out of that. Right. I think it's really fun. It has a little electrical, like lightning rod or antenna. I'm not sure what that is intended to technically be, but it looks really cute and the birds are going to love it. We're going to love it. Hey, looks like a cellular signal. Oh, thanks. Thanks for that. Lightspeed. Lightspeed's here with us. Steven, we just posted your 500.5% twisty thingy base. Let us know, was that video reversed? I want to know. We inquiring minds want to know. All right. Nice work, Chris. I saw that too. Whoa, what just happened? Did I accidentally just close it? I did. Well, curse me. I had a, or was this the actual, let me go back. Okay. I did. I clicked on it. So this was tagged. Hey, Jim, it's not a hot makes more like a hot or not. So it says grant 3D musketeers is doing for sale. One 3D printer lightly use no low ball offers. I know what I got for one. I love that by the way for two. I believe he did this for a video thermal to show that thermal runaway was not clearly on in this printer. Nobody was hurt and all that in, but this is such a, I mean, this right here is an eye opener. You want to make sure your printer is being safe. Thermal runaways on, you know, just print them make it is. Yeah. That looks like a one how I had to guess rent. When how like replicator I three or something like that. You wouldn't recognize it if it was it a melted. I can't. I don't know if he actually called it out here, but it looks like a, if I can read it a, when how we ever seen the 3D printer out of wood. Yeah. I've dead. Definitely. Oh, but that's a cool. I want to check out this video because this stuff can be cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want to check out this video because this stuff can be scary. Yeah. When how replicator 2.1 or something along those, I think it's a, yeah. I mean, 2.1 might be I three. There you go. Hope it's got print recovery. Light speed said, yeah, like a rat rig only better. It's movie magic. Of course. No, I, I, you know, just be safe because this could be your house. If you're not. All right. All right. What do we got next? All right. Let's see if you can count. Let's see if these count for one of these weeks. Hot makes printed some Pokemon cartridges with the Game Boy DMG for scale. And on an end or three. So heck yeah. Pokemon cartridges. There you go for the wind. Files on Patreon. We just opened Pokemon cards while we were on lunch because we were bored. So I saw somebody make a lithophane out of that. Out of the. My cards. Yeah, make it. Yeah. And he made a decent size too. I think it was one about at least a foot in size. Foot by foot. And. Plug it into something the lights turn on. Yes. Yeah, you made that. He says I made that that these are really cool. I love the colors. And it looks like you can find this on Patreon. So. Now the question is. Could you make working ones like this, like pull apart, like an actual cartridge, make the cartridge or snap over to replace this with it. And then use it. I think you always can print cartridges game or cartridges should be not a problem. It's electronic what needs to fit. Right. The insides of the cartridge. Right. If it's a Nintendo, you could even blow on it first. I mean. All right. What do we got next? Last but not least things incredible functional 3d printed self orienting ratchet socket wrench. They tagged us in the hot makes. There we go. So this is a 3d printed ratchet socket wrench. Found on things. Yeah. I'm not going to use that on my hot nozzle to exchange. Yeah. I don't think that would go great. No. I love it. I love the idea. I mean, yeah. I mean, it's to play around with. Yeah. Right. To teach somebody or hey, you know what? In the future, we can't find tools. You got to print your own like on the space station or whatever. Hey, there you go. Ready. Yep. I saw that. That was super cool. They sent up the file and they were able to print the tool. But this is really cool. Yeah. I'm sending you a link in the background. Somebody posted a video on Reddit of them assembling it. Oh, nice. In the background. Do I just do I minimize this page and I'll see it. No, I just sent it in the chat. All right, let's check this out. Hopefully there's no sound we'll get in trouble on. But here we go. How long is this? Four minutes. It is pretty cool though. So there's like a whole assembly it looks like. No offense, but we're going to keep going. Looks like they use some a filament, a piece of filament. If you didn't see that. There we go. Little piece of filament to hold the gear through. It's kind of like your cotter pin. Let's see if I can go back to comments. Here we go. I wonder if you need less supports in space. That was a good one. That was a good one. I believe that printed upside down. I think you're. In space. In space. In space. There's no upside down in space. Yeah. There's no upside down in space. And nobody can hear you scream. What was that? According to Carrie Fisher, there's no underwear in space either. Oh, that wasn't Carrie Fisher. No, that was George Lucas. Apparently there's only Gaffer. Super cool. I really love this. I love all the pieces you can print. And then, and then one. Oh, no, it is. Okay. This 3d printer. I was going to say, and then one real piece. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just slid that little. Yes. To hold it all together. Little C clip. Nice. Oh, more filament. We need more filament pieces. Let us know in the chat what you think it is. This is a pretty cool project. It looks like it works. And I wonder what, like, is this a torque wrench? If you go too hard. It's just going to skip. Very cool. Okay. I'm going to check that file out. I wonder for so many, like, could you scale it up? Make your own custom size wrench? I mean, I don't know why you would, but it would be fun. But anyways. Nice. All right. Well, I tell you what, I know we're a little bit over, like six minutes over. But before we go, Matt, you've been awesome, man. I really appreciate seeing all your stuff. Yeah. I appreciate it. Shannon and I and Geary are glad to have you. You can build your own tools. Absolutely. There's tons of them. Can you tell us one more time, like who you are and where we can find all of the things. If we want to follow Matt German. Yeah. Like he says, I'm at German. You can find me on Facebook. Just punch in Matt German. If you find a lot of list of things with it, that's me. Or look up tactile sweetie pictures. Most of my work, what I do is for charity. And I maybe have only once a year a sale on certain items, what people can buy. And that will be mostly secretive. So, yeah, I hope everybody enjoyed my list of things. And if everybody have any questions, anybody just contact me and I help you out. Or it will take me maybe a day or two to come to your message, because sometimes I have quite a few messages piling up and to get through all of them. Hey, that's okay. You know, we appreciate to help too. And I'm definitely, I got to make some of these, you know, and maybe we'll have to have some fun with that going forward because I'm now that I know that you use an inkjet printer. I'm super curious. I might have to buy one. Just buy one just for this. I use the Epson E2600 or I use Eco. Awesome. Well, I appreciate it again. I know, you know, Shannon and Geary and myself are super happy that you could come on and show us all your cool stuff. You're doing it for a great cause too. And, you know, your story is awesome, Matt. And we definitely appreciate it. Hang out right there. We'll be right back with you. Shannon, anything else before we go? Yeah, I don't know, man. Hopefully I'll be back to streaming guys. I got a lot happened this week. Whenever I get home, I will be back to my streaming patterns. I don't think I'm going to be on tomorrow, but I got exciting stuff coming. I'm going to tell you guys that we're going to be working with Polymaker to give some filament away and like print some cool things. And I have a ton of Cosplay projects coming up and I'm making for some friends. So it's going to be fun. It's just going to be delayed a little bit, but hang in there with me and I hope to see you guys on stream soon. Is it going to be delayed like your flight? Too soon. Too soon. Too soon. I want my cat. Like I want my cat. That's all I care about right now. The polyester that's sponsoring you? I just want my, if I had my cat here, I would not care. I just want my cat. Nice. Well, we'll, uh, we'll talk back in one second. We'll be right, right back with you. Everybody else. Thank you guys so much for joining us on another Monday night. Go check out all the cool streams that are happening after this. Um, we're not controlling the twitches tonight. So we can't rate anybody, but, but thank you. I don't know if she's on anymore. So yeah, there you go. Well, if, uh, if Chris is streaming or Moses or anybody out there, go jump on their stuff. Check it out. We will see you next Monday. We have some really cool stuff coming up, uh, guests wise, and we are super pumped. We'll let you know soon, but we'll see you guys next Monday right here on hash hot takes. Well, I can't even talk. If you want to see your stuff and you want to be featured, shoot us the hashtags. We need those hashtags. Hashtag hot makes and we'll get your stuff featured just like we showed tonight, but everybody else. Thank you again for coming. Andrew, thanks for the 10 bucks. And, uh, you know, for, for whatever floats our Benchy. Um, you know, these guys never, they never printed a Benchy. So I guess I'll have to, uh, have a good night, everybody. We'll see you next week. Bye everybody. Bye.
