 What is up hot makers welcome to hot makes right here on the edge of tech on this one and only first time prerecorded hot makes prerecorded what Pre-recorded why are we doing that jim well? We're doing that because due to time constraints and time change a difference in times right of our guest today We are gonna have a little fun with uh Should we just say who it is right away? Let's uh, we should we'll bring him in people will recognize him He's very he's very well known in the space. He's very well. No you Ladies and gentlemen today on this prerecorded version. We have mr. Braxton makes aka 3d What what we call noob the new really maker noob formerly the formerly I like formerly known as yeah, it's like almost like prince, but not pretty soon. He'll just be a symbol He'll just be like a wreck Yeah, well welcome to the like I said hot makes on the edge of tech where we aim to educate and entertain the maker community I'm nerdy j. This is the prerecorded pooch in in the future. No Well, right now. I'm in and now it's there's a whole multi-verse thing going on. It's very Time zones are hard people. Okay. We learned an interesting thing We tried to figure out like maybe we could stay up late Maybe joker get up early But the truth is the guy doesn't sleep Really that much at all and and hot makes is traditionally broadcast during like the five hours that he would normally sleep It's like three two or three a.m. In the morning in central european time normally, but uh, yes greetings Welcome to the show. This is a show where you tag all the awesome stuff You see out there in the maker sphere hot makes hot makes tag and we opine on it as we do And we got some good ones today In classic fashion as you've seen in the last or in the past few weeks We're gonna bring joe in we're gonna have a little fun with him for a minute We're gonna jump right into hot makes and then we're gonna go to a cool interview with uh with joe I'm super excited to talk to him about the whole change. He's working on. I mean Uh, it's gonna be awesome and the the teases on twitter. My hands are crazy right now. Aren't they? Yeah, the teases on twitter that he's doing with uh, I we'll get into it But before we get in with him though, can I just really quick say on that angus is leading music? You know, I see it every time and it says and it says well the font it's unclear I'm I'm assuming it says anti hero, but it could be anti-herd It could we should I have this or a d. So I don't know is angus against herds of some kind or is it You know, so just just an obsession, but I love that guy's music man, and it's it's so fun Uh, I wonder if it's kangaroo herds. Is that a herd? Is it a herd of kangaroo? I don't think it's a herd of kangaroo, but I'm maybe wallaby Tell us in the comments below. Is it a herd of kangaroo or what is it? Anyway, that's your fun digression for this morning without further ado Let's bring in mr. Make some breaks 3d maker newb himself Formally known I believe it's kangaroo mob About it's a mob See where were you when we were talking about this see we educate We hope you guys have learned something today. If nothing else Is that true? Is it a mob? Is it a mom? I believe I think it is it sounds right Tell you if they were coming at me in a herd It would be like a mob. I'd be running man. I wouldn't want to go up against one kangaroo never mind the whole mob of them So great Too good. Well, how are you doing out there? I'm doing very well. Thank you very much We're doing this at a decent time, so I'm happy about that Well, uh for for people who don't know you're in you're in malta, right? Yes, I am And if I remember right you're like are you seven hours ahead of pooch's time? No Seven hours ahead of me and nine hours ahead of pooch's time, right? So Yeah, so we're doing this actually on what is a sunday? um November 29th It's our sunday. It's my sunday morning. It's jill sunday evening and yeah lunchtime We're all on sunday for dinner and then bed I love it Yeah, well, uh, I we're gonna have a little fun with you We're gonna have we got a lot of really hard questions We're gonna throw at you but hitting yeah heart. I mean totally totally all the all the hard ones like like What is your symbol gonna be when you just turn into a symbol? I you know It'll probably be something like smashed glass or blue smoke I love it. I love it um, I think first We should probably jump into some hot makes have a little fun with that and uh I you know, we keep playing this intro. I know Caleb was watching and I'm gonna get Caleb on a brand new intro segment for this But tell me in the comments below is it's hot or not? What do you think of those intro segments, joe? kinky We we spent all musical genres To light up a cigar and get a glass of brandy or something. I love it kovace The proof drink for that that one is true. Well the first one we got a feature today you posted this, uh, I think a day or two ago and uh You know, you have a video coming up soon, but this is a little upcycling. What is this? What are we looking at? So first first, I want to say that is hot. Okay. Oh, yeah, it's very hot and that is This right here. So this here reflective shiny So, um about two years ago. I did a video on purge blocks and it was like kind of like why purge blocks exist and why we can never fully get rid of them completely and I kept all those purge blocks. I tend to keep absolutely everything I can because in my mind They're absolutely beautiful and I need to find a way to do something with them So you're you're you're a hoarder then is what you're saying pretty much. Okay um Initially, I thought about doing sort of like a uh, an abstract Wool thingy, you know would kind of like a skyline Something like that. Yeah, but now that I uh, I rebranded and pivoting on to cnc and resin and all these other things I Kind of came up with the idea of putting them all together and do a wall clock out of them I love that man. That's that's fantastic. What a great use and uh Let me let me blow that up. I was just changing there. We go. Can you yeah, let's see that. Oh, it's that is well And I see a nine and a three Yeah, so I see and seed and in lay for the numbers. So these are also three printed numbers And they just snap in there. Look at that That is hot. Yeah, very hot smash that like button and comment hot in the in the comments below. This is hot right here Hi, that's that's that's fantastic and that segway is well into uh, You mentioned that you're you're pivoting, you know, obviously you started the channel focused on 3d printing What made you decide to get into some more mixed media? making um So I absolutely love 3d printing. I've been doing it now for like three or four years But I just feel like I do much more than just 3d printing when I'm at home I do all kinds of things and I always felt like I cannot show them on the channel because they're not 3d printing related You know and people have grown used to the idea that Um, I only do 3d printing nothing else. In fact, the only few times that I've did something that Didn't major majorly involved 3d printing. Oh, it was comments were Yourself you pinch and hold yourself You're not really a noob anymore, right? So maybe it's appropriate It's funny because My channel was 3d maker noob then I changed to 3d. I'm in because I got so much heat because you just you know, you're you're You're playing with people's feelings because you're not really a noob. You're just pretending to be a number like No idea how many things like this before I get to where I am You're playing with people's emotions There's no pleasing everybody. Exactly. I believe we just figured out that your symbol will just be a crying emoji There you go So I I just I spent quite a few months after the the whole ppe thing um Went through and I I just spent quite a few months thinking about what I want what I want to do um Whether it's in life like a personal business of mine and everything I I decided to get a cnc a large form at cnc Because I have someone I work with here where I do kind of like uh black trophies on the wall So I can cut the bases and 3d print the the actual emblem on them And then I started talking with my wife and said maybe we should expand to more tools and everything And then I can expand on the channel and then I just decided to buy all kinds of things and work And now I have literally tons of tools just an excuse to get more tools Joe. It's brilliant. It's brilliant. I love that excuse I love that excuse Well, listen, we're very excited to see what you continue to break and to make for us And and I know that you you'd mentioned that you know the workshop is still very much in progress And so you've teased us with some really neat designs that I noticed like where your miter saw is that little Dropdown thing. So if you haven't seen this guys go go to Joe's channel check out some of his Right his teaser videos also is on his twitter. Do you have anything on your youtube yet about the workshop? Uh, I'm there they're probably at the end of some some videos the last couple of videos I sort of gave um a flash of what the my mobile workbench is looking like at the moment It's still work in progress and the reason being is that these projects take so much time Sure I only work on things that I need to for sort of like the workshop itself when I have some downtime Which is never you need to produce videos Right never. Yeah, you know priority Yeah, and then was that workbench that you you did is that your design or had you taken inspiration for that? I took inspiration from a channel called. Um, I believe it's which of junkies. Is this Yeah, I've seen that. Yeah, um, but it they work on different Like my the sheets that we get here the plywood sheets, for example are different sizes Really? So we have to work with I had to work with the sizes The biggest we get here is like I believe four feet by eight feet Okay, that's that's us dimensions. Yeah This guy is like sheet was like six feet by 10 feet. Oh, that's a big sheet How did he get that? Yeah So I had to work with what I had I had to redesign the plans in fusion 360 At work I had to work with the limits of space. I had a different since I'm using different machines I have to work with different measurements in different sections of it. So it's going to have a revolving The thickness planer. It's a hideaway table saw different Sorry a different a hideaway mitre saw a table saw different air compressor different shop vac system Nice, sure. Very give it give it your own flair. Well, that's that's awesome We cannot wait you got tag hotmakes on that so we can show that off when you're uh when you're ready Well, and really quick before we jump off I mean you you are spending all this time and energy, you know building this thing you you don't You know, you mentioned well, you you can only do it in your downtime But you don't feel like you want to record that actual journey that process for the channel Just because you want to get it done more quickly That's one of the reasons the second is I believe if I had to record the whole process To be completely honest, um, I'd get the experts weighing in Constantly like that's not how you do it You know, this is my bench I think that's an ongoing challenge for any youtuber out there that you're always going to have the people out there that are Opining on on how you should do it. What I'll do is once it's ready I will do a video sort of like a tour of the workbench because it deserves a tour of itself It's going to have so many things Yeah, and I will release the plans and I will explain how I built it Nice, and I think that would be much easier. I think the I think the appropriate The comment is you do you joe you do you? Yeah Awesome. Well, let's let's let's rock through these hotmakes and uh, what else we got it here. Let's see Oh, man this one, uh, let's see this is umbo today Yes, louis harris. Uh, walley gator just did a dumbo and i'm going to pop this open This is on a piapoli phenom. Ooh, that's too soon for me, but uh Look at this. Look at this Look at the look at the finish like the sheen on the it's almost got a like a satin finish to it Uh But it's so smooth and it is not surprising. I mean walley gator always just does amazing stuff I wonder how much sanding that entailed When I saw this I for some reason my mind that there was an overlay of the cartoon On a photo. Yeah, like it just looked pristine You know what this reminds me of if you've seen the ads for the the the cake makers where they like take an object like this And then and it looks like a model and then they cut it and it's actually cake like it It could be a cake. That's incredible. I would definitely eat a dumbo cape Would you oh, yeah, not even no regrets size cake. Yeah My wife is um, she can't eat anything that has a face on it. It doesn't matter if it's chocolate Uh, it doesn't matter what it is. It's a cookie if it has a face on it. She can't eat it Well, that's an interesting policy. I don't know if I agree with that Come in quite handy if you want to save my food for later Yeah, well usually I I'll just bite the head off and I'll be like here you go. You don't have to worry about it now And then she doesn't All right, and what do we got next let's see This job Wally. Oh Oh the work newbie. Have you seen this yet? Oh, that is beautiful. This is uh, also printed on a phenom Um, I gotta pop this open full screen. Look at this That is gorgeous phenomenal Uh, I wish I man, I wish I knew how big it was like where's the banana for scale, right? Well, it's countertop size. Yeah, no banana, but you know, this seems like a good size Also, you said it was on a phenom. So we know it's got some It's a detail though and the painting For sure I don't feel like I've had an opportunity to see a lot of luby's painting ability You know, she's always shown off the modeling and all that stuff like should obviously just All around artist I know that I need to print this I mean that did Let us know in the comments. Have you printed this or are you gonna print it now because I tell you what I think this model is phenomenal. I I want to make a whole chest set If she doesn't already she might have it right is this part of Is this a part of a chest set? Maybe I need to know that I'm I'm gonna say it probably will become part of a chest Yeah If it's not it needs to be a full chest set like this would be amazing. Yes. All right She has the perfect designs to be putting together a chest set. No doubt. Yes And if you printed this big enough it Potentially could even be a dice tower Sure There you go. All right. What's next? Oh Here we go little nick Oh, he's doing doing some resin And uh, look at that. Oh, she finished her bone. Oh She go her ear. Hang on We we need a we need a momentary break of the hot makes to bring you a is this Bella break. This is Bella Oh Oh, hey, Bella. How you doing? Looks like a perfect lap dog for you, Joe. She is Very well, but just had no problem. I'll just be quiet. I'll just be sitting right here She'll spend hours like this. I'll be working and she'll just sit here. I have a couple of cats like that, but um So what does Bella think of this ornament here? Oh Two blinks means hot I love that Amazing. So this is a little little nick de melo. So they're the powerhouse couple these two We got big nick and little nick and so now we're doing some christmas resin work here It's awesome crafty mom 3d equals pretty. I mean Let's see just in case you wonder here you go boom Beautiful. This is such a great time of year for 3d printing making in general, obviously where we can actually utilize our tools to make awesome personalized unique gifts for other people And I just can't get enough of the creativity Around this and the amount of joy people have in actually doing it because it's like They have a good excuse to put it on display for you know This time of year we think it's stuff like this is absolutely amazing and It requires very little work To get it to look so amazing. I mean resin is just absolutely Insanely awesome for these things. I mean you have the time it takes the time to actually do this but It takes much less work than people think because resin is just so easy to use and it just inspires you to do stuff Like this. Nice. I wish uh, well my wife is really good at resin jewelry and stuff like that Um Me that's I don't the patience for me. I don't have the patience for you know What this reminds me of is a new take on the old uh, you guys ever remember like the sun catchers or Saying glasswork where people do like letting and so obviously a lot more going into that kind of thing But 3d printing actually enables a nice you know Platform to to you know, bring more people into this and and to maybe not have to worry about some of the Harder details of it and and focusing on uh on getting that resin that shiny resin that grabs everybody's eye and I can't remember if we featured it yet Um, but someone did that they made a what looked like a 3d printed stained glass window But basically what they did is they 3d printed the base and then they filled each section with colored resins And then clear like a clear over the top of it. It was super awesome I have to go back and see if we can find that for maybe next week or something but Um, just like you're talking though, you can throw it up in the window Little sun catcher. Maybe it throws off the the you know colored beams or something Yeah, I love it. All right. What's that? Oh john mack Let's see. I gotta pop this up john mack made this little owl and I love this owl. Look at this Is it is it a key hanger? Is it just a okay, so you hang your you hang your keys on there and now it wakes up Opens on awesome. Isn't that great? So cool. I love that and uh, I think he said he needed to find something Uh, but I need to find a heavier county way counterweight, but yeah, it's a little owl key maker Um, I'm assuming he'll throw it up for everybody too. I thought he said down here. Maybe he didn't in this chat Um, I think he said he was going to throw the design up at some point But I love that the owl the owl with the eyes. That's phenomenal. It's beautiful Obviously it creates a whole potential ecosystem of characters that have opening eyes, you know For anybody if you're a dog person if you're a cat person if you're owl person, you know And and uh, I love again talking about like That's something that I think would be great to make that you could give as a gift and people would really enjoy it right And right now there's so many Christmas markets and stuff like that going on that stuff like this people would just absolutely love to pick up 100% and uh, you know, we talk about you know, right now it's it's uh black friday cyber monday weekend and and and then there's a lot of uh Encouragement to shop small. I don't know if you have that in malta joe, but we have a whole shop small Uh thing here where where a lot of people are encouraged to support small business And so, you know, the maker community is a great example of that where you know, it's hard times for people right now Uh, maybe consider buying some unique products supporting local makers and things like that With your gift giving right malta At least no one really focuses on that um, mainly because Everyone tries to be a thief here Well, that's sad It was black friday, um This week and you know in the recent years malta has you know gotten into this black friday thing Okay, the only problem is that I don't think we really got the hang of how it works because I'm black friday Like there were people who went to take a quote for things two weeks ago Okay, and they went again on black friday And it's even more and yet they're discounted Oh, man It's only black friday the interpret is like the purge and it's just like chaos in the streets It's it's just no we do it wrong But maybe you're newer to it it takes some time to get used to the black Well, and this year is unique because you know historically it's based on on the dark Nature of humans where you know, we have door buster deals and people are fighting each other in line Right the super cheap tv at best buy or whatever right? Well, you know and really though in the last couple years They've kind of gone away from that a little bit and they've actually extended the sales So you can get them like all weekend or something or even like for instance you brought up best buy Usually for the whole week here Yeah, I was just gonna say you brought up best buy and they they threw out their sales like a week early And then yeah, I think they had some door buster stuff, but you could still get them online and what what's funny is that you could walk into a store and Be like oh this video game. I don't know is on sale, right? And then seven hours later It's still there on sale and and like four years ago That that the shelves will be empty people will be fighting We'd hear reports at at walmart that people got crushed in our city They made a lineup in the parking lot and rush like run and some some lady got like trampled It's like what the heck somebody's always gonna die on black I mean, so I hope not not anymore though. I think park has done the perfect representation of what black friday used to be Yeah I love it. Well, nice work john mack. I love the owl Hit that hot or comment hot in the uh comments if you love it too. Um, what do we got next? Oh chris ronzel I apologize. You're also kudos That's that's uh, that's that's a good rare over there. Yes. That is a good rare. Well done. Not well done That's a good. Well done. Yeah, personally. I like blue. I like my meats. You still have sort of like a heartbeat going through it Yeah, blue Okay, that's a that's a new color If it's blue, I'd tell I'd be questioning where you get to your meat there Yeah, no on the black market meat. It's literally just before rare You literally just sear it Increase the temperature a little bit. That's it. It's ready. You don't cook it at all. Oh man Is it I'm not may as well still be on the cow? Yeah It's a sunburned I don't care I'm like chewing on the tail of a live cow. We just lost all our vegetarian followers No, hey, uh, I did ask why he didn't invite us and did you see his response? No, uh, let me let me scroll down here. I said, where was our invite? I said, sorry, man Only had enough covid test for immediate family Come on Nice work, chris. Uh, I am I am jealous that looks amazing That's definitely a hot make Hey, we're getting into the cooking the culinary. We don't do a lot of culinary on well if if joe's not involved It probably was hot All right, what do we got next pop cards, uh, I love this a miles morales spider-man model by uh, wexter Awesome, uh mk 3s Printed solid printed solid. That was awesome printed solid jesse soul black Uh, let's see. What do we got here design white blue whale gray and blood red And prusament galaxy silver I gotta pop this open. Look at that That's really clean. Well, wexter always does amazing Stuff, right? Right now. I look I just saw into the spider-verse like like a week ago actually Sean when I was with joel in, uh, seattle like two weeks ago We started watching it, but it was like You know two in the morning and I I can't stay up all night the way shan does but Anyway, he started showing to me and then I watched the end of it here with my son He likes the the new mob, but have you seen it joe? Do you know the the new the new spider-man? Yeah, yeah, I haven't what do you think of miles morales as the new spider-man? I I honestly don't have an opinion because i'm not like one of those diehard, you know spider-man fans To me spider-man is spider-man. That's it doesn't matter who's who's peter parker or miles Behind the mask personally to me Best peter parker was um, I would like the first piece about toby. It was a toby McGuire, yeah To me because that's what I grew up knowing right Do you feel the same way about batman then like anybody can play batman or do you have a favorite batman except batman fleck Personally Michael Keaton valkill nerd those were the two like jack Nicholson as a joker whole Like I really How old I am. I'm just you know, that's that's that's the cult, you know, I'm I'm with you. I'm with you I always wanted that uh the michael keaton batmobile I Really long one. No one will replace michelle pfeiffer as cat woman. That's true. No one amen Amen, and she could still do it today and she could still pull it off I uh, if you write that comment, let us know in the comments below. That was a that was a hot comment Maybe you disagree. Let us know what your feeling is on the new spider-man, you know But I I got you got to hand it to Marvel for for trying to be with the times with trying to keep, you know characters relevant Make them relatable to the modern crowd. I I get that I do get that And I thought they had some neat takes and I got to tell you the animation technique on into the spider-verse Was insane. I it blew my mind. I kept commenting when I was watching with shaw. I'm like How is this done? Is it 3d that they animate over like did you did you have that reaction when you watched it? It's it's insane. I mean, no, it's absolutely awesome. Let's go Jim. It's worth checking out because it's a very It's a really unique animation style. Is it on a certain platform or I think it's on Netflix right now Yeah, all right. I'm gonna make a note. Um to do that. I'm definitely gonna watch that today. Well, probably You know what? I'm gonna watch it today with a little man. Why not? Oh, there you go Yeah, why not get some indoctrinate them young? That's dad wins dad wins. All right. What do we got next here jt? I don't know if you've seen this the spaginchy benches. Yeah, I I love this Uh She's not sure She's not okay. Normally would call this a hot mess. Um, yeah But what's hilarious about this and I didn't I purposely Enhanced I did not go into the actual tweet itself for this one. So this is what this is. Well, I think the one that Started it, right? I think um, maybe I'm wrong about that, but If you if you scroll here totally looks like a benchy so Let me Check this out. Yes Well, the the amazing thing about it is he made it reproducible. That's what I was getting at Not only did he make it, right? Then he's like wait completely reproducible What I'm trying to figure out how Like that one he actually He he must have just like completely over Overdid the extrusion thickness of it. I don't know. I does he talk does he talk about his technique? Oh, let's see the best worst It's like a layer at a time. So like we'll do this layer now. Not this one Which I think you would get if you just completely jacked the extrude like like that you were Remove every other line Remove random lines just and I love that terry terry reached out and said stl. Yeah I mean, it's kind of art. Sometimes the failure it can be beautiful. Here we go Okay, one wall five percent infill no supports. No bottom one top Point three two layer height on a point four nozzle at 70% extrusion The ladies and gentlemen, if you are watching here's what we want to see for next week Use these Settings one wall five percent infill no supports no bottom one top point three two layer height on a point four nozzle With 70% extrusion. Let's see your benches tag us hashtag hot makes for next week Spaghetti I call it spaghetti But uh, what other what other models might this technique look cool on I mean, I don't know you You might not think it looks cool. I think it's interesting. I think it's awesome You know what I I want to see this on uh an aria dragon Oh, just like a spaghettified Okay, all right Lattice cube from angus. Oh It looked like a furball a tumbleweed Oh, man, I love it. Nice work. Uh original bfg tagged this. Um So this is I think you chimed in a few times on this pooch. So he's talking about Um the best use case for 3d printing low volume spares repairs unique parts To improve traditional manufacturing methods and what he made or what this person did Was made a better laser nozzle Right by 3d printing it and um So the the link will be in the hot makes description if you go to the description of the video There's we always have a google doc. Click on that You can find the tag from from original bfg and it'll take you right to this but What do you think? I mean, we I'm going to show it here now the actual nozzle they did Um, what's your take on this? I know you had a lot to say on the on the actual uh to feed there Me my my take personally, uh, I think it's fantastic and uh it having you know doing a lot of laser cutting she's absolutely right that um The air assist is absolutely critical in getting good cuts And uh deeper consistent deeper cuts and stuff like that and She has a picture in here that illustrates it really well that when you are dialed in Uh with all your settings like you should almost not see The line um that that is being laser cut like char and overspray from you know the the stuff that's that's coming out of the cut and stuff is all artifact of of Less than optimal tuning so you know I think she did a fantastic job and and the if you go into the deep dive of the physics around this And stuff it's it's really interesting, you know talking about some laminar flow and all kinds of You know great things to really direct the air because if at the at the heart of it Uh, and joe you have yet to get into Laser cutting much right like I think you have the snap maker and you've done the little diode thing But I have yeah, I have the laser right on on the on the z-morph on the z-morph on the z-morph. Yeah Um, I'm hoping that the channel will grow big enough that um form Form labs for no not form. Uh form a flex a flex. Oh, yeah the beam box Yeah, I'm gonna get the beam box pro Excellent. Well that that'll be a good ad and we look forward to that but uh, Anyway, what I was gonna say was that you know the the The science behind what she's doing is is spot on and it's funny because a lot of the the cheaper lasers that are coming out of China and you know, wherever else, you know A lot of that the the last thing that they're really focused on is the heiressus piece In fact, a lot of those come with the little crummy Compressor motor that's for air brushing, which is grossly Insufficient for pretty much anything beyond paper in my opinion. Um, and so So, you know, it's really neat to see that it it's not necessarily about throwing more compressed air at it, but like Good compressed air concentrated and and you know, there's a lot of steps beyond that too as well as like getting good dry air You know and and I don't know how much she may mention that and some other Another thing I noticed too. She showed that the two novels together the 3d printed one and the metal one And it looked like and I need to read the the whole article, but it looked like she spent a lot of time Focusing that in like absolutely perfect because you could see all those laser lines that went down through the 3d print in that one And I imagine the whole idea was to to literally tune your machine So you don't have all those right and then because in the metal with the metal nozzle there You're probably bouncing your laser right off the edge of that if you're not tuned in, you know, if you're not focused Uh calibrated there we go calibrated correctly Yeah, um, and that's probably another huge thing I can't wait to read the the whole article Um, but I I love that. I love I practical prints are awesome Well, and it's funny too because laser cut it literally is laser precision Right and so we as makers a lot of the time gets so excited to to use the tool and joe You can attest to this probably with some of your cnc experience You get so excited to use it that you don't necessarily invest the time in making sure that it is die And and a lot of that means dialing it in for your specific environment Leveling and you know doing all the little minutiae so that you get good consistent results every time And that can go for 3d printing as well We get one of the get it out of the box We set it up per the instructions and the and the really good manuals that come with them and uh And then we go we a lot of us just hit print and if it looks good We just we don't focus on going back and dialing everything in and I think this is an important part Well, and and joe let's make sure we get into that because I really want to talk about your ooze nest your cnc experience All that's let's finish out these hot makes because I know we're addressing that crazy, but let's do it It's so fun. Here's another practical make um amos uh 136 Bought some machina squares didn't have a case So prusa live slash hot makes of the week is a box that prints assembled with a hinge And let's check it out I hadn't seen this yet and i'm digging it. Yeah Yeah, all the squares fit right in Beautiful look at that And the print is the print is great. What a great idea, right? I I love you know and and joe i don't know if you have a good set of machinist tools like squares and and you know One two three blocks and all that stuff On the way But but it's there's something about that level of precision. That's so satisfying. Yes Yeah, I'll I can get into that a bit later. But yeah, I Lot of time choosing the right tools for what I needed. That's a that's a great. Uh, thank you for sharing that amos That's a fantastic print. I love that And uh last but not least The master is is getting closer Uh, Matthew Nicholas working on the phenomenal ecto one um the head is so I really need to print that uh Scaled this thing up. I think it's two hundred and fifty percent um It is let's see. I I I think the the chrome work on that the white wall and the tires, you know the decals I was talking to him last night. He didn't get the he didn't finish up the windshield yet, but uh, look at I mean just The phenomenal the drawing down here I'm gonna I'm gonna say it right now that when I go I this is how I want to be taken to the I want I want my funeral procession to be in the back of an ecto one That's where I want my casket It's got to be a fully 3d printed. Yeah Make it I make it simple on my next of kin, but you know, it's three to print an ecto one Put me put my casket in the back of the place right And it just I mean his work is phenomenal here. This is one of my favorites the slide out with all the packs Yep, uh come I mean man We learned a valuable lesson about crossing the streams two weeks ago. Yeah, don't do that don't don't cross the streams Oh This is the uh, oh there you got a you got a tape measure for scale there So it looks like about 14 and a half inches to here Oh, excuse me And then uh, right about three feet long Three feet long I love it. That's uh, that's some uh, right about what 13 inches, uh, How does he how does he make these things so fast? I don't think the guy sleeps man. Look at the chrome work Yeah, the chrome work here I know this one's a little bit slower than normal But he's taken his time because I think the detail in this is Yeah, and he's putting into it is phenomenal. I mean, well, yeah, nice work. Nice work, matthew Uh, I I was talking to him last night again, and he was gonna work on the windshield soon and uh, I cannot wait to see this thing done and um, You know, I don't think you could ship this to somebody but It'll be a nice showpiece. I mean we did Joe I don't think you I don't know if you saw it or not but we did a walkthrough of matthew studio a couple weeks back and uh, the level that he is You know producing so he does multi. I'm sure multi thousand dollar commissions and stuff and obviously this is what it takes To produce at that level like you want to spend the time you want to put the detail in if you want people to Exactly and then he puts together like a wily coyote and carbonite on his shop door in like three days like what the hell I'm just gonna throw it together next to my so jealous But uh, so so hot makes is done if you liked it let us know in the comments below Tell us what your favorite hot make was as well. Um, we're probably chatting along with you right now if we're if you're in the chat Um, but now that the hot makes is done We can jump back into To what's your symbol? I don't know your symbol. You know, we're still gonna figure symbol out, but the wrench. Yeah So we heard a little bit during hot makes about why you transitioned You know, you're kind of transitioning channel from 3d maker noob to 3d mn to now breaks and makes Can you elaborate a little more on that like you said you're getting tools you're pulling tools into the shop You want to do a ton of stuff You know so so the idea of breaks and makes the name comes from one It needs to be something catchy. It has to be something that rolls of the ton very easily So breaks and makes comes easy and it kind of represents Me literally it just represents me because you and then you're broken. Yeah I can either take some I make something out of something that's broken or I try to make something and I end up breaking it You know and it's it just It's not limited to one medium It makes and breaks I can make anything I could I even have plans of a project involving a jigsaw puzzle Which I have as soon as I came up with this idea So there was this ppe time, you know, we're 3d printing like 20 hours a day and I was barely sleeping And it it it kind of took out this This enthusiasm I had for 3d printing enough to do that for a couple of months and I I just went to this mental rut. I didn't know what I went to do I had projects, but I didn't really feel like 3d printing. You know, I went to take a break And as soon as I came up with this idea for the the the pivoting of the channel the cnc resin Layed I even have a melting furnace Because I have some ideas with that as well And as soon as I I thought of this Like I started walking around with a notepad because every 50 minutes Oh, I could do that. Oh, I could do that. Oh, yes I could do that and it just just started snowballing and then it was a matter of sitting down and Spending the time and money to get the tools I need in order to build a workshop where I'm at a point almost where whatever I can think of I have the tools to make it I mean, that's that's fantastic and and you're absolutely right that by by Giving yourself more variety to swim that allows you more potential for inspiration, right? And so and and and I think that that's really important as we see a lot of people start youtube channels and do all this stuff and Or patreon right and then they're inevitably just falling behind on Yeah, on stuff and so give yourself the the The tools and the energy that you need to like keep going because that's really what ultimately makes success a lot of people don't I see for myself when I started my youtube channel all I could think about was 3d printing So naturally when I started my channel, I thought 3d printing, you know, and I'm completely new with this I never thought that, you know, eventually at some point I want to expand and the thing is I've always been maker I remember the first thing I ever made. I was 13 years old. I took a pocket calculator I removed the insides. I got one of these phone cards I cut a slot and then I had some contact points in between And I made a key card for my door where I had a small DC motor that would pull a latch from the top In order to open the door. So you'd have to insert the key card Into this calculator outside the door in order for the lock to come up, you know, that was me at 13 years old and I love that And I've always been like this and it didn't even dawn on me that, you know I might want to expand but now it did and it comes with its drawbacks because you know, you will lose subscribers You will lose views because you know, it's trying to Find a new demographic or including a new demographic one that doesn't necessarily just one 3d printing sure So it's it's something it's it's a calculated risk Which I was willing to take and I could see it from the video that I released about the the The 3d printed in fil vase. Yeah, right. Um, it turned out beautiful Sure did Is that a lot of people that follow my channel Then like the style of the video then like the fact that I wasn't teaching. I was just showing what I was doing Um, it wasn't just 3d printing related. So, you know, there's going to be a fall and unfortunately youtube sees that as this video needs to die So it throttles it completely And but that's okay because it's expected. I was expecting it You know, but from now on it's just just gonna be that transition to getting the channel back to where it was before So as a quick follow up on that are you as a youtuber? Do you believe that you have to just What I'm hearing is you have to be okay with the fact that you you can't please all the people all the time That you're gonna have the fall-offs that you're gonna have the videos that are not Landing with people but you can't you can't take that personally and you just got to keep marching forward because It's gonna happen no matter what right and the the comments you get like I was not expecting this from like You know people need to understand that the amount of time invested and energy invested into a project And the mental the mental health because you know This really gets to you when you have nothing to produce But you want to do something that you enjoy but you can because you might disappoint people And it comes to a point where that's it, you know, I want to do what I love doing Right and whether you like it or not I'm sure there are thousands of people are there who who share my enthusiasm for just making things, you know Absolutely So it comes to the point where I'll do videos the way I want to do them because it's my channel As you should because it's my outlet of creativity I'm doing this for you to watch for free You know and if you're good Most probably a lot of people who are complaining even have ad blocker on Exactly and I think it's important for a lot of people and you probably have some advice for youtubers around this But it's it's important that you You take a moment to realize that for every negative comment out there Like there are so so so so so many more positive feels and unfortunately The world we live in these days, you know, you got to remember we're a bell curve And you typically are only hearing of those people at the very ends of the spectrum Right the vast majority of people they love it And maybe they don't take the time to comment And maybe it's important that they do to keep people like you motivated To offset some of those one or two negatives And I think it's human nature to focus on the negative. It's it's who we are Especially if you're someone who's trying to be an overachiever or You know life Made you that way that you you want to be the best you can be Right out of I don't know 300 comments I'd say 280 of those where I love this. I love where the channel is heading. This was the best decision ever Then you get those five comments Who and and those five comments keep nagging at you, right? Those are the ones that you spend the night in bed Cannot sleep because you're constantly thinking What could I say, you know, like It's it's could you say anything? I don't know. Is it better just blocking and moving on? That it's one of two things. Um, if it's constructive criticism, I'll take it. I'd love it, you know If someone is being hateful I instantly hide it from the channel if they're being abusive or hateful It doesn't give me the opportunity to reply and go down that rabbit hole. Good, right? If it's something that's man, I I tend to ignore and just move along. Yeah, I I agree in in um You know, you get weird things happen, too And I just I just ignore them unless they're completely Off the cuff. I hide them like you said but a lot of times I'll respond like something really positive Someone someone just commented on a video that was like a year old on mine and totally You know, I know we're kind of off the track here But totally made fun of me Being ugly and all that stuff or whatever right and I was like, hey, I really appreciate the feedback Thanks for watching the video and then like They're probably like what just happened, you know And then what's so funny about that the same person commented on a newer video love the content So maybe just that like, you know, who knows but but uh It is interesting. Um, we're kind of different in that way. I just ignore him. I'm like, yeah, whatever I'm gonna do And it's even like you make a like a 10 15 minute video Which by the way a 10 15 minute video is about eight 10 hours worth of that's the day's worth of work easy Right. Yeah 10 hours of footage and about two weeks worth of work Eight hours of editing, you know, you upload and then The first comment is you shouldn't be using gloves for that Nice Well, I just want to address the elephant in the room if you're watching i'm not blurry anymore So there's that I was like, what is going on and apparently pooch was trying to uh, you know, blur me out So I'd be like one of those off-camera You know, it didn't work because you could still see that line of the hair but but uh Well, joe, I want to switch gears real quick and get back to talking about your experience with some cnc So you you you've kind of just getting into The cnc the way, you know, so maybe that your your cnc newb to some extent Yes, and I'm curious what your thoughts are and did any of your skillset from the 3d printing world translate over to Learning how to cnc okay, so About 10 years ago. I bought myself a motorcycle and I decided to convert it into a chopper And once again, I'm the kind of person If there is if someone can do something I believe I can do it too. So I'll teach myself any skill And I bought myself a mini mill which I had converted into a cnc because I didn't want to spend a thousand euros on a part So I bought 500 euro mini mill I bought 300 euros worth of parts then I bought 10 dollars worth of aluminium and I cnc the part myself That's the long way there Yeah, and I had converted that myself. So that was my first experience with cnc. Okay I still till this day don't know how I've managed to make it work. I still have the mini mill in the garage I'll I'll be converting that very soon um So I always like to me it was the opposite My first experience was cnc. It was, you know, attractive Um, and then I went on to additive. So my mind kind of had to work the other way around. Ah, okay Um, so it came when I went back to cnc now It kind of was you know, it's it's it's normal for me. I I understand how it works It's just getting back into the group of cnc because it's been years since I cnc Okay Well, you went the long way to make the parts But in the long run you can make as many as you want now because you learned how to do it, right? Like I needed to modify the chassis. I bought myself a welding kit. I learned how I needed For jinx, so I bought myself a mini lathe for the for metal lathe I'm the person I've always been Would you say you have more money in parts and machines to build the Parts you needed for the bike then you have in the bike Revealing what I think a lot of us relate to it's that it's just An excuse to just get all these awesome tools so we can make awesome Looked at the bench that I did the the mobile workbench that is awesome I'm going to make the table in your place like I'm going to give you the wood and you And I'm like, I'm going to need a biscuit joint right now. I have an excuse Exactly Like I couldn't think of the reason why I needed it. You get you just gave me one Perfect So talk talk a minute too about the precision thing they were saying Nina one of the the videos you took us through So the the cnc you have is the uh, uh, who's nest work work b Okay, and what's the size? What's the workspace size on that? Well, it's 1.5 meters by 1.5 meters Which is about what 4 and a half feet That sounds right. Yeah, right a working area is I believe 1.3 meters by 1.2 something like that. So it's a very large area It's around lead screws like very long lead screws. Okay on on all three axes And I had quite a few options. I worked with that because one they're european or for now Brexit Very in the uk It was a good price points. It was either that or the x scarf to be completely honest. Okay But I went with that because of you know, the forums I was reading it's open bills and everything So it was just if I wanted to modify something, which I'm quite sure at some point I will want to do sure is just the easier option for me Okay, and I love that you took us through the machine Actually using itself to make its own wasteboard and It because when you look at what what a wasteboard entails for the you know those brackets and stuff It's just hot. How many how many holes was it for those little brackets 200 200 great Think about how long it would take you to actually like measure out and stuff and so watching it do its own thing was really cool and then and then Planing the whole top surface is obviously getting it trammed and all that stuff is a process because I mean you you Can put as much work as you want into making sure it's perfectly calibrated, you know and You know things happen. It's a large large cnc You might get away with making very small mistakes on a smaller one or it's going to be a bit more difficult If you take your time, but when it's really large, it's very easy to to make mistakes because one millimeter on one side You know, it'll be five millimeter on the other side Yeah, so you try to calibrate to try to even out as much as possible But then you realize when you're tramming the difference is insane And it it takes a while because I I didn't expect, you know, there was such a Such a process to making sure that everything is perfectly fine But once you realize the mistakes you did then you realize, you know, like, okay, that could have been much easier Sure. So the larger what I'm hearing is the larger you go and this is probably true for a lot of 3d printers and all that stuff that the the any Any issues with the thing will be greatly magnified the larger you go I mean keep in mind like, okay, so you have An m4 screw Yeah, and a hole that the screw goes into But there's always going to be that point two point three millimeter where of play for the screw to fit through It's not going to be exactly point four right can play a big factor in the end result when it's fully assembled Um, so it's constantly like even if you want to adjust sort of the the let's call it a camber of the of the router Yeah, you have eight screws on each side Which you have to get to Is it's just, you know, it's So you're gonna spend a lot of time Getting it tuned in but hopefully Days I spent two days So after I assembled it and I tested it out, then I spent two more days just making sure it's it's perfect measurements are perfect like the the width The the length on each beam on each side matches the the leveling everything absolutely everything So what one of the things I like to tell people when they're getting into it because I'm the same way I always talk about being a broad strokes maker. I want to get right to the making and all that stuff But when you think about like, okay, I want to do this over the course of a year two years five years, whatever spend the time to get it tuned in right as much as you're you know excited about it because Garbage in garbage out so get it right and that will pay dividends over that and you'll have a good foundation To start upon so that if something goes wrong, you know, you're not working backwards into like Oh, I never trample this in the first one. It's not if something goes wrong, you know, it's not the CNC for example And it will no Yeah Yeah Yeah, well the other thing about that is when you when you build a machine and you spend the time right away to dial it in 100% and I'm guilty a guilty charge of not doing that on on machines But you get to know that machine much better So, you know a month later when when like pooch said something happens because it will whether it's 3d printing or cnc or laser Or anything, um, you can be look back and say, you know what on that laser I had to adjust the mirror to be, you know in alignment and I noticed that it's not exactly in alignment I remember that I can go back My my first build of the mark to live stream I spent about five hours And Nowadays I can pretty much build mark two and two and a half hours and I'll do it five times better than I did back then I remember I had serviced it and I'm and I'm what was I thinking? You know it comes with time, but that's the new part that's the breaks man That's what I love about your you are okay with owning the fact that you are learning and you are taking us along for the journey I'll always still I always tell people I'll always be the new Always going to be learning something like I'm I'm still learning resin now. This is my second project the clock I'm still learning resin. I'm still making mistakes. I'm actually going to make a video of what mistakes I've learned And how I almost almost Probably set my workshop on fire through I will watch that for sure Tag that hot makes when you do that'll be hot I I poured too much resin in one of the phases that I did it actually melted the resin smoke started coming out It started boiling the is it the chemical reaction? Was so severe it melted the filament inside it started boiling And I'm panicking because you know it's on my work bench. I need to put something I'm trying to grab it with my gloves, but it's really bloody hot. Oh my gosh We've all has had that moment. It's like Exactly Yeah, there I mean that's always gonna be an uber time even if I'm really good at something I'll make mistakes I'm I feel like I am very good at Painting, you know model painting Right, but I still make mistakes, you know this We've actually a bunch of your stuff recently and uh, I was super surprised I don't know if pooch was but I was like, I didn't know he painted Like all of a sudden you had all that the sweet airbrush set up with all the paint, you know, and we're like Did you know he can sing too? He's a fantastic singer. I Well, hang on. Let's let's uh, we'll give you the floor and go ahead take it away Put him on the spot I've been painting since uh, since I was about seven or eight I had my first art exhibition when I was for t14. Oh, wow. So yeah, I do I do portraits. I do abstract. I I like that involves making it's always been like this Is it true renaissance man and I salute you for that my friend? So maybe we'll see some of that on the new channel Yes I also have Yes, there's so much. I need more time It's always time. But are you loving it joe? Are you and oh there's that excitement again? It's like good. It's just it's It's all there again, you know and like I can't I wake up at five o'clock in the morning now every single day I have my coffee go downstairs start working come back up about six seven in the evening I I just I mean you can see the energy the vibrance in your eyes You I think your hair is starting to grow back. It's amazing. It's uh And it's out of new places More of it more. Yeah, yeah Fantastic. Well, listen it has been awesome. Having you I think we're closing in on our hour sketch Why don't you take the opportunity to You know take the floor here for the last 30 seconds Tease any, you know new stuff that might be come in tell people Where to find you where to follow you if they haven't met Met you yet go Twitter Instagram Facebook YouTube If you look for a 3d maker noob, you'll definitely find me on youtube now It's breaks and makes where I do Making well, I make pretty much anything nowadays out of any medium that I can think of which is recycling upcycling Wood pellets for example a few things coming up 3d will always remain I will still do reviews of 3d printer. Just not as you know not as constant as before um, but yeah expect I mean there's there's literally Nothing I would put past me in doing on the new channel. That's fantastic. Nice Like you that I you know, there might be fish involved at some point. I I don't fish Hey there Work hockey has been making some killer lures using 3d printer and resin and all sorts out. It's awesome The fluid bed thing. Yeah, the fluid bed thing. Yeah Quite a lot of art you can do out of the fish skeleton Huh, I mean you really hear the Billy big big mouth bass, you know had to come from somewhere the singing fish Fantastic man. Well, listen, it's been an absolute pleasure. I we are both very excited to see I'm sure that's the hundreds of hot makes to come from your side of the World and you're out of your workshop and and honestly seeing the workshop as it evolves. I mean Yeah, I'm I'm pumped. Yeah I probably have to take a break from doing video so I can actually get that ready Well, let's let us know in the comments below. What are you? Do you have any questions for joe? I will have him watch and we'll shoot him over to him. I know again We're not live today, but we'll make sure he sees the questions if you like the episode Let us know in the comments below What was that we can pose the questions on twitter We'll do it. Is your twitter handle still the same by the way Is it still okay for now? So, you know, just, you know, it's not a shock to the system. Yeah transition time It happens, right Well, we we can't wait to see again what you what you co where you go from here And and I love the channel anyway, and I can't wait to see more fun stuff, especially fire Like I said tag us. I was always going to fire But anyways, thank you. Thank you again for hanging out with us today and thank you everybody else for watching Again, hit that thumbs up. Let us know in the comments below How do you like the show if you had a favorite hot make if you have a question for joe? Don't forget like pooch just did hashtag hot makes on the twitters and we'll find you we'll throw you in and We'll feature you on a show coming up Again, thank you so much Later everybody
