 What's up everybody. Welcome to Hot Makes. Welcome back. It's been, man, we haven't been on in, we missed the last two weeks. So it's been three weeks. Yeah. What is going on, Shannon? Um, I'm taking a chill week off, finally. I had several people ask me though, like, are you guys actually going to be live tomorrow? Yeah, we're still live. We're still live, yeah. Well, I'm Nerdy J, also known as Jim from the Edge of the Tech. This is Shannon. How was your couple weeks? I know last week was not planned. We did not plan to be off, but how was it? Yeah, it's been really busy. My convention was last week that I've been looking forward to for so long. So that's nice. And then afterwards, I was like, what am I going to do with my life now? Because I spent like two months printing things for that and like all this other fun stuff and then, and then turns out now I have another trip coming up. So I can't tell you guys, but you'll see soon. Yeah, I don't know. Do you guys want to see pictures or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see it. So, so we apologize for last week. A couple of us were under the weather, not me, but Geary had a minor virus by minor. I mean, a little overheating issue. And Shannon wasn't feeling great and my water heater went out. So there's that. I'm still not feeling great guys. So if I told them before we went live that if I like pass out in the middle of the stream, like, it's all good. Just let me be. Yeah, we're actually just going to blow your screen up and just talk over while you're while you're there. It'll be, it'll be. I mean, I feel like I'm like 5000 degrees right now and it's not fun. But it is what it is. Okay. So I don't know. I'm just going to auto launch in the air. Please don't. No, it shouldn't. But yeah, it was good. It was a good two weeks. I hope everybody had a good like two weeks ago holiday. I guess you call it a holiday. It's kind of a holiday celebratory Monday. We'll call it that to honor those in the past and those who have fallen. And then this past week, yeah, like I just it was a crazy turn of events last week and a lot of weird stuff happened. Water heater went out, found water in the garage. Then I got something in my tire on the way to work like the day after that. It was it was really crazy. But so you've been doing some cool stuff. You did a calm or a calm. I did guys and I can I have full reign of what I can share with you finally after like four months. So before we go before we go too far, don't forget any of the hot makes we show tonight. There's a link in the description below. I don't want to forget that. So check it out. It's a Google link. You can find all 104 no 105 episodes on there. Also, we have a pretty dang awesome guest tonight. We're going to jump in with him very soon. Ben, it's boy in space is with us. You might know him from this little tick tock thing he does. I think he does it like sometimes. So you might know him there, but we're going to bring him in briefly. But but anything else, I think we're everywhere, right? Yeah, we're always everywhere guys. So I see some of you guys on Twitch. We are on Facebook, YouTube. I think we said what the main channel is now at over 700 700 700 now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, just awesome. Thank you guys. Make sure you're serving to the main channel as well. Yeah, you can find us all over the internet as usual. And one more thing before we go, if you are going to Murph this year, Greengate 3D is doing something really cool. They're going to do a school upcycling program kind of a contest. I guess you could call it. So if you're driving or a flying or any of that stuff that you have extra spools Greengate is going to have a giant Gaylord or bin or something there. And they're going to allow you to bring spent schools and then the person who brings the most. So if you're driving, you probably have a one up on this. The person who brings the most is going to get the modified. I believe it was the Ender 3 v2 that I gave him last year. That was modified with a bunch of stuff and they're going to give that to the person who brings the most spools this year. And also other prizes with like like the purple rain filament, which is phenomenal and t-shirts and stickers and all sorts of crazy stuff. So they're going to take a ton of spools and they're going to upcycle them. They have to be in usable condition. Must be from the 3D printing industry. So don't randomly bring random spools of stuff. Make sure they're 3D printing spools. Telephone wire. They must not have another manufacturer's logo like in Boston to them. Stickers are okay. They can remove that but not embossed into them. And I think that's the thing. So you bring your spools, toss them in and it's going to be awesome because they're going to do some upcycling and maybe save some plastic in the landfills for us and give away some cool stuff. So don't forget that. All right, let's see it. I'm pumped. See it? Oh boy. Okay. Oh, I hit it as soon as you hit it. My bad. This is going to be very chaotic. So this is my table, guys. I had a table at a convention. I don't know what this is. And everything's kind of exploded since this and I can't talk about some of it. So I'm like really sad that I will share with you guys soon. But I know you guys were all hyped up to kind of see what was going on with that because I advertised it so heavily. We finished Arrow and I can show you Arrow and I'm like still happy about that. So I'm not going to go through everything here. I posted these though. This is how we. The entire show is Shannon slideshow. I mean like I could really. There's like a folder of like 150 things here. This is how Arrow wound up in my like makeshift canary and I am so excited about this and it just turned out very nice. Awesome. And yeah, it looks really good. You guys had fun, right? Yeah. It was it was like quiet. You know, like there weren't too many people. But it was it was a good like calm consistency, which was nice. I had the goblin helmet on the table, which I know a lot of you guys wanted to see. I didn't get to quite finish it, but it was there. So that's a fun little thing and then Chris is with us. What's up, Chris? These are just a lot of things that I had on display. This is like our whole cosplay group in that corner. So it was fun. It was fun. I'm not going to bore you guys with pictures, but I wanted to show you like how Arrow came out and everything because honestly, like I'm just super hyped about this because they both turned out so well. I had nothing but a t-shirt size and like an inseam in length for the pants. Nice. From like 2000 miles away. So I got it and I'm so confident with myself right now. It looks it looks super good. Let us know in the chat what you think. I think it's hot, hot, hot, hot. Yes. So I'm going to go ahead and not share that anymore. Yeah. So that's how that went though. It was a good time and then I just had a lot of recovering. I'm kind of, I feel like I'm really dehydrated still because when you're running around in cosplay all the time, you don't remember to drink and that happens to me every single time. So this is where we're at now. I'm talking about like you don't remember to drink or you don't remember to drink. Well, listen, I had drinks on the table. Just joking. But I forget to drink water like as it is like convention direction of extra bad for me. Everybody's saying it looks amazing. Thanks Dan awesome. Well, there's a, you know, awesome cosplay community and they are everywhere. They're 3D printing. Obviously you sowed a bunch of that too. A bunch of the, the, you know, the full, I think you modified, right? You modified the canary. I modified canary. The arrows made completely from like a duct tape form of somebody that I didn't even have in person. That's so good. Well, it looks amazing. And, and we love to see it. So keep us updated because you have some fun things coming to the little birdie told us. Awesome. Well, I tell you what, I know everybody's pumped to get our guests in. We've been away for, for a couple of weeks. So it looks like our numbers are starting to come a little higher now. I'm sorry. We're sorry we were gone, but ladies and gentlemen, I'm super, I mean, I'm super pumped to bring Ben in. He is, he's got an amazing TikTok channel. He does all the other good stuff too. Actually, I have his Instagram up because I want to show you some, some of the cool pictures he's doing. My friend Ben, it's boy in space. How you doing? This thing on. Oh, hey, how's it going? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you there. No, I am here. Yeah, he's in space. So we're, you know, the transmission is a little fuzzy. Yeah. Let's make it sure there's a, there's a delay. Yeah, the ping is super high. So for sure. How you doing, man? Doing good. Doing good. Well, just printing stuff like usual. Welcome to Hot Makes. I, we're going to definitely get into that because I want to talk to you about printing, you know, mostly because of what you do. But first, first, we got to, we got to say before we go any further for someone who has never heard of you before or seen you before, which is crazy because this guy has 3.8 million followers on TikTok, million on, on TikTok. So if, if no one knows who you are, give us like the, the 30 second who am I spiel? I'm just a dude, 3D printing, sharing stuff that I'm interested in and hopefully inspiring the youth and other people to maybe not necessarily get into 3D printing, but be creative in general. That's pretty much what I do. Nice. I like it. Thank you. Take a bow. That was a, yeah. Oscar goes to, no. Nice. 10 bucks. Andrew, thank you so much. Andrew hits it up with a $10. And I just got like a some, some weather notification, but we're going to ignore that today. Okay. Well, if I pass out in that way, you know. It says, sorry, I'm late. 10 bucks from Andrew. Thank you so much, Andrew. Anyways, so Ben, you know, you talk about your TikTok there and we talked a little bit about, you know, before we got on today, but how, how did this all happen? Like, how did Ben get 3.8 million million followers on TikTok? Like, where did it all begin? It all started because I was having issues with my first 3D printer and I kept going on Facebook, Reddit, trying to get help, trying to level my bed. Every tutorial I found online was, it was there, but like there was just a bit that I didn't understand, right? So, I ended up beating myself up and told myself I wasn't going to do this. It wasn't for me and my wife started showing me TikToks and kept showing me them for weeks and she kept telling me like, make a TikTok, maybe you'll make a friend and they can help you with it. And I was like, I'm not 12. I don't need TikTok. And then I made my TikTok finally when she convinced me and just went on there as the plan was, let's make some friends and hopefully figure it out kind of thing. Nice. For some reason, like in school, you have your teachers say, Ben, you need to do, you need to be good at math. And in my case, the reason I blew up was because of a simple math problem. I didn't understand square loss. So I went 200%. That seems like double, right? Yeah, apparently it wasn't. So I ended up printing something much larger than I planned on it. They got like 18 million views in my first six days on TikTok and that's just what happened and it was less like, all right, well, I guess I'm going to do bigger things every time, right? And it was kind of researching what worked. What keywords, timing, clips, called action, all that stuff all at once. So I just kept doing the repetitive because at the end of the day, most of your viewership isn't your following. It is new people. So introducing yourself in this same way is going to be beneficial. So that's pretty much how it just kept going. That's awesome, man. I will be taking your class after this. So yeah, I had one. I did a torture toaster video on my TikTok and like overnight it blew up. I'm guessing it's cause it was called the torture toaster and people didn't know what the hell they were taking on. Yeah. But you know, and I got almost a million views and I was like, cool. And then I didn't post for like six months. So, you know, that was the water bottle incident. But no, that's super cool story. Just because you had an issue with your printer, you know, you turned out it all turned out into this, right? And yeah, you have much like, you know, those of us who do YouTube, I see tripod in here. I see fix some dude and Aaron Rodgers or Andrew Aaron Rodgers. I just said Aaron Rodgers. Andrew Rodgers is with us. He's the one that sent me this sweet spinner and that's why I was spinning it for him. Thank you so much, Andrew, because this thing is super clean. Anyways, but you know, like we get some cool stuff and we get some cool printers sometimes and lasers or whatever you want, right? But lately, you and I and a few other people that we know have been playing with the absolutely ridiculous bamboo lab X1 carbon. I'm so jealous of you guys. I'm telling you, I'm telling you this for your cosplay, if it works on the end or three you have, it would work on the X1. Oh, I know, but I don't have that money for that. But I could knock out like an entire like display of Ironman suits in like a week. No, especially for cosplay, if you're going to sand and paint it, phenomenal. You know what I mean? Like this thing is rolling. I don't even, I don't think it's on ludicrous. It's not on ludicrous right now, but I'm just making a quick clock spring phone stand. It'll take 57 minutes, you know, instead of four hours or whatever it is. Yeah. But the cool thing is we've been playing with this thing. It does a ton of stuff and a lot of people asked me the same question. I have a video spoiler coming out, I think tomorrow and it's going to answer some good questions. But one of them is, does it do multi-color? And Ben here will be the first one to say, what what's your answer? Does it do multi-color? Yes, very well. So I've used many different systems. Like I have the, it's called the PETA, I believe. This thing right here. Yeah, I'm pronouncing it wrong, but it's an eight-color system. I have a Mosaic Palette 3 Pro. I have one too, I haven't unboxed it yet. Yeah, nothing has given me the experience that this thing has given me. There's a lot of things that are going to need to be dialed in, but I think where this printer is going to shine is when the community has it on hand because people can share their flushing values and other presets or certain brands of filament, right? And a lot of people have been looking at it going, that's a lot of waste and stuff, but it's like, have you used any other multi-colored systems? Because this is like volume-wise, it looks like a lot of waste, but weight-wise, it's really, really great, like way better than anything I've used. Right. I agree with you. I need to, I need to slice something like this and just let it fly. That's one thing that I have not done is I've done different color parts on a plate, and I've done that a few times because I'm doing a droid that I want to do. So I'll pick different colors and let it do different colors of each part. And I did a little bit of coloring on one thing, I think, but I haven't because in the very beginning I reached out and I saw this and I was like, you know who needs this? Tom, Filament Frenzy needs this printer. So I reached out to Bamboo and got them connected a little bit. But it's absolutely ridiculous. Like we're looking at a SpongeBob, right? And I love the line that you left in here. That was, you know, that's my favorite part. No, I actually do. I think that's, I think it's awesome. It's hard to see on the screen there, but yeah, what's super cool about this is you're doing a whole range of SpongeBob stuff right now, right? Oh, there you go. That's not SpongeBob. No, that's not SpongeBob. That's Wexter, right? There you go. But that's Wexter's model, right? No, no. He's actually, that's three Dom Sculpts. He actually reached out to me today on Instagram and was like, hey, you used this in your thumbnail. Can you add me to the description? That's what I was, yeah. He's pretty cool. Hey, three Dom Sculpts. Nice work. That's pretty awesome. I know, I think Wexter did one too. There he is. Awesome. And then here's your full SpongeBob collection so far. Yeah, I'm printing Squidward right now. So real quick, in your opinion, in your experience with this, ease of use and time. I mean, how do you feel about this? Because you've done a ton of printing and that's where I'm leading this to because your whole thing is printing. You have to print nonstop to put out as many videos as you do, right? So in time in ease of use, what do you think so far? I love it, honestly. I know a few people are having issues, right? But I mean, you could say that with any printer on the market, right? And obviously having an earlier unit, you can see that like, like it's kind of like a Tesla in the sense that like, you get a really nice model, but you'll notice little creakiness and like lining up issues and like my door is slightly off. There's a big gap in the center, right? Oh, weird. Yeah. But my box also came with no branding, probably similar to yours, right? So it's like very, very early on, right? And honestly, I've set up probably 40 to actually probably closer to 50 printers at this point and being able to just take that out of the box, remove like, I think it's like six screws to take the AMSO and then just click print. That never happens. Oh, wow. That like, you don't have to level it or anything. It just does it all by itself, right? Again, I'm going to repeat that I'm so jealous. I'm hearing nothing but good things like you're saying though. Like I of course, like learning curve, but like to me, it's like you go to a store and you're like, I want to buy a paper printer and then you buy a paper printer and put it on your desk, plug it into your computer and then put the paper in it. Yep. Yeah. And that's like what the experience is for me at least, right? And there's always even with that, there's always going to be little things you have to do. Maybe the printer dries up and you have to replace it or you have to replace the ink. I mean, there are little things I had a failure today. And I have no, I think it was caused by maybe the AMS got jammed or something. I'm not sure, but I got back. I thought it printed. I got here tonight and realized that it completely stopped and it failed. It just was a whole bunch of nothing. But the printer also stopped though. So just just a full disclosure. The printer actually stopped as well. Did it turn off? Or did it? Yeah, no, it notified me like, Hey, wait, we got spaghetti and the printer stopped and paused and then I didn't notice that it paused because I was at work. So yeah, but the thing is though, you're absolutely right with this thing. It is the closest. It's not perfect. There's not a perfect one out there, but it is the closest to having an appliance of a 3d printer. You know, like you set it on your counter and it's there and the my shake the counter, but yeah, you better have everything bolted in because it was living stuff at it, but but that's because it's so fast. And the thing about it is the people who run farms, the people who do, I don't know, prototyping is huge because you can you can like I'm getting one third to one quarter print times on everything, everything, and that's it could be at 0.08 or at 0.28 layers. It doesn't matter what it is. And it's just cool to talk because I mean, you have put so many miles, so many hours through that printer. And that's where I was going with this. How hard is it to keep your printers going to get out as many videos a day at a week as you do? It's hard, but it's not because like I I have a bunch of creator friends and there's always that like block, right? Like people are like, I don't know what to do, right? So I'm constantly scouring looking for models and I categorize them into folders. I put people's names next to them. So if they reach out with having no idea, I just go, here's the links. Try these ones, right? So I I usually have everything pre-sliced. Like I have at least 10 models pre-sliced and depending on the day or like what's going on in the community. Then I go, all right, something that flies go to that folder. Then I go and find like a copter or something, right? So super organized is what you're saying. Trying to write because it just means that I can see a printer that's off and then I already know this is the filament color that I wanted to use and they just click print, make sure the first layer goes down, walk away. So but filming wise, I didn't even know you could edit TikToks until like two months ago. I was going like full old school Vine where it was like hold down and then you release and then you watch the clip and you're like, all right, I need to refilm that. And holy moly. Yeah. We got to 3 million though without editing. So it's all matters. That's crazy. It sounds like you need to go back. What was that? Don't get any ideas. I wish I tell you if I could if I could film with the, oh no, you have no idea how many TikToks I don't send Caleb. And you know, he does all my editing. If you guys know Caleb, you see him in the chat too. And he's once in a while, he'll be like, dude, can you send me a good clip? And I'm like, I've done this thing 17 times. You didn't see the bad ones. And it happens, but it's sometimes you film so many that you're like, I just can't do another one. So it is what it is. The problem I have is I've been super good now about trying to bullet point and kind of script what I'm going to say. Otherwise, as you all know, watching and then as you probably figured out in the last, I don't know, 45 minutes that we've been talking, I talk a lot and so I'll start talking and just go completely off the rails in like a video that's supposed to be out about this goes and then it comes back over here. You know, so if I if I'm not like concise now, you know, it's all over the place. Yeah. See, I don't do like the long videos like you do, but I'll do, I do TikTok stuff too, but I'll like film. I'll just let it go and then in like a separate app I'll wind up editing it and slicing it the way I want it. But if I sit there and stop and go, I'll literally be playing with it for the entire day. So it's just not worth it. I'll like honestly pause and just start saying things to get like three takes of it, but just let it all be one video. My problem is I can't say the same thing. Like if I mess up a clip, I completely change it and I never script anything. It's just like. Oh, I feel that. I have like a set list of kind of like what I usually do and then I just kind of like make it up on the fly. Like anybody watching my live stream when I film a TikTok, I film all my TikToks in like under five minutes. Like, oh, geez, no more than that. Like I do like a few clips and like perfect. Looks good. I'm in. I don't like my videos anyways. So I'm not going to watch it. Right. Yeah. I, I, uh, it's that's funny. I mean in I have to like I've been so much better about bullet pointing and getting like at least a blurb about pretty close to what I want to say down. Otherwise my videos take way too long to film because I'm off the rails and someone says Jim off the rails. No way. But you know, so, so here's to follow up question to that. You know, I asked how hard it is to keep your printers going because you print so much. I mean, it's pretty much nonstop right in your house. Um, compared to all the other ones, how hard is it to keep the bamboo fed? And you're home. This is what you do full time, right? So that's a little easier, but like those of a, I work full time. I do it for a hospital and this thing finishes so fast that I'm like, it's just sitting there while I'm gone at work because that, that, that, you know, 12 hour print finished in four hours. You know, so how, how much more difficult I get if I act like it's a bad thing. It's not a bad thing at all. How much more difficult is it to keep that thing fed because it goes so fast. Honestly, I don't really even notice it because I have so many roles like partial roles just lying around that I've just been waiting to get rid of, right? So for me, it's like, it's really nice because I'm like, oh, I need to use up the gold. So I put gold on Master Chief, right? And it's like, cool. Um, well, that's perfect, but nice. It, I haven't really noticed too, too much. No, like the palette three pro like just so you're aware because you haven't used yours yet. Yeah. I did an eight color palette three pro print that was 63 grams. The purge block was 343 grams. Whoa. Right. And that was like the best settings I could find, right? So, right. Using this, I'm like, yes, there is some waste, but I kind of feel like where bamboo is going with this printer is potentially some type of post-processing unit afterwards or some something that you're able to take those scraps and not have to have an industrial grinder to grind it up, right? That would be awesome. I wouldn't be surprised because it feels like this printer itself is just already a step in the direction of changing 3D printers. So yeah, right. It really is. And, and I mean, I said it in the first video, I saw that I saw a 20 second clip. Brian Vines set me this thing because he got one and I was like, I need to know what that is. This is a game changer. That's all I needed right there to say this. This thing is a game changer. He told me, right, you know, in his chat before that clip, all I did was take this out of the box and I hit print and I was just like, wait, what? Well, I've seen your post about the printer and then I seen that bamboo retweeted it and I just commented, this is the first 3D printer I've been excited about in a while. And then they messaged me like 20 minutes later and then nice. I was like, oh, cool. Like, yes, I guess I will do my first review. But the thing about them is they're not even asking for reviews. They're just saying like, yeah, the printer and tell people what you think, you know, and you know, I asked him, like, is there bullet points you want me to hit? Because they're like, they know the specs better than I will ever know them, right? Yeah. And they're like, no, here's here's the printer. Use it. What we'll do. They did a couple of meetings with me, you know, and they said, we don't care. Just tell people what you think of the printer. And I was just like, I that's what I do anyways, but for a company to actually just say, yeah, we don't you not really just say, just say what you want because normally they'll be like, yeah, here's our media pack and here's this and this and this, you know what I mean? Well, that's kind of like what it was for me is I said to them, I was like, I usually don't do reviews on my channel. I do paid advertisements. And they're like, that was the first thing they said was like, big paragraph. We will not be paying for any paid reviews or anything like that until after the Kickstarter. And I was like, oh, that's really respectable. I've not seen very many companies do that, right? Yeah, they they they're they weren't messing around, especially with the very first few. They were like, we don't care what you say. We want you just to use it and and rock and roll. By the way, I think Mitch just asked bamboo versus the Prusa XL two completely different machines. You're talking tool changer for a lot more money versus the bamboo. I don't think you can even compare anything to bamboo right now for what I'm saying. There's two changes and stuff, but not really. I mean, that's the thing is is if you are looking at now with this just turned this completely turned into a bamboo review. But if you if you're looking for something to take out of the box and use it and use multicolor or multi material, it does it. And that's what it does. If you're looking for something like the Prusa XL where you have, you know, different tool heads and you can do similar stuff with different technology, you know, which is fine. It's totally fine. But I mean, it's completely different. Now the Prusa is way more expensive when you add in all the tool heads and all that. You can't even get an MK3S with the enclosure and the MMU for the retail price of the bamboo. So yeah, I mean, but that's why a lot of people are skeptical about like 15 or 1449 for the full setup. That makes no sense. And I'm like, it doesn't make sense to me either because four color systems are like five to six hundred dollars on their own. Minimum, right? So like. Yeah, so I see tripod mentioned was hoping it's someone to meet early. So I'll tell you this after my video went up and Modbot not not planned at all, our videos went up within a half hour each other. The next day they had almost 200 requests emails directly to them to review printers. And that's not the people they were already talking to or reaching out to themselves. They got absolutely smashed with requests and they don't have that many printers to send. And so they're trying to I don't even know if they're still sending them or not. I have no idea. But I can tell you that I mean not everyone has them or or we'll get them ahead of time. But and it's not cheap. I mean to send these printers that shipping alone is not cheap. Yeah, but I would say with that said this company has made it very known that it their manufacturing facility has to be run like a car manufacturer. The second that it stops running, they lose money. So you might not have one now, but they're going to have to continue to push marketing wise. Right. So who knows? That's true. And I mean with the facility going on, they recently released a whole bunch of palleted ones and their stuff ready to go. And they have a robot welding the frames. I mean, like it's pretty sick. So so let's let's break away from bamboo because I know I totally took that over. And and I mean, I'm just so very excited to talk to somebody live who had, you know, who has one and has been using it. I've been talking to a couple other people on the side, you know, Brian Vines and and Daniel from Modbot and Joel and who else? Uncle Jesse has been talking to me and so it's really cool to see how everybody's has experiences around it, but everybody's kind of like man, this thing is a game changer like completely. But so you film you said five minutes or less for your tiktoks. What is your favorite one? Did you have a favorite? I know that's a tough one. Do you see his face? He's like, oh, I didn't I've been on tiktok just over 14 months now. Wow. Was when I first posted my video first video. I just checked on social Blade and apparently I have like almost 1,300 videos. So I don't know what that average is, but that's all. There's some things a lot. Now you want one is what he's telling you. Yeah. Honestly, I always go back to the Dwayne chain just because that was like that wasn't what blew up my channel at all. I don't I say only gained like 100,000 followers from that. But but a lot of people think like, oh, your channel is because of the Dwayne chain and it's like I had well over a million followers when that went down. Right. But still the memory behind it because like me, my my dad, for instance, we've never been super, super close, but when I was a kid, we watched W W F before it was W W E. Yep. And Wayne Johnson, like as a creator, your family always goes like I don't know if videos are really like how that's not I just had that conversation with my mother today. But as soon as that video went live or like he reacted and then my friends posted on my Facebook being like, bro, oh, he responded. That was like the first time my dad sat back and was like, oh, so things are getting real for you. And he's like, that's so low. He did that. I love them Johnson, whatever. I'm like, it's a whole reason why the whole rock thing became a thing is because I'm like, I'm we're going to get a response in the 3D printing community. That's so good. I'm so glad that you got a response because like I could I have people that are like my version of that. Right. Yeah. Like honestly, one of them is like one of my closest friends right now and it's like the weirdest thing in my mother's still like this is this is doesn't matter. Yeah. Great thing your family supports that. Yeah. It was my buddy. Union 3D was the person who put Dwayne Johnson's face on like an octopus and made it the octopus. Right. Yeah. And it was yeah. His video blew up to like one or two million views and it was his biggest video. He didn't have any following but God of following and then all my followers seen it and we're like, then you need like start tagging me. Tell me I need to print it. So me and Union 3D are friends. So he sent me the file and I printed it bigger. And then everybody hated on the rock meme because it just went on for so long. But the best part about it is I had like people that were like eight years old. They're fam like their father reached out to me and got me on video call so that he could show me his kid 3D modeling and putting the rocks face on something. And it's like that aspect. You're famous now. I don't really think so but like just getting people inspired to be creative was like the coolest part to me. It was like I didn't like it myself. But being able to see like young kids like I played in the mud when I was eight years old. Yeah. And there's a kid sitting there 3D modeling. And I'm like, yeah, what is happening? Right. That's the cool thing about, you know, this day and age. Yeah. Like I'm with you. I was outside. I probably wasn't inside unless I had to be right. But this day and age they're growing up with the printers and the CAD programs in the schools. And you know, my niece is in eighth grade and she just took a whole a whole year or a half a year. I forgot what it was of a CAD design class. And she was like super excited to show me what she made and you know, they got the 3D print them and I gave her teacher a printer and he's actually going to have one to get one of my lasers, my big lasers, CO2 lasers. So he can start playing with one of those and like, it's just so cool that I mean, kids minds are so creative. Yeah. To see what they come up with and not only that but they can they can do this stuff way better than I'll ever be able to do it. Yeah. Like, like I'm saying that eight year old kid. I was like, at the time that was better than anything I ever made. And I was like, how is this possible? Right. But. That's awesome. Super cool. And now now my claim to fame is my print in place jellyfish that pops out. Yes. It's really cool. And then my all of my favorite is my can cup design. Ah, is that the screw in one? Yes. Which is I need that. It's free. Well, I guess I can show you it better off this one. There's more. The can goes in. It doesn't fall out. It stays into place and then I have my logo in the bottom and then yeah. When this screws in, it won't fall out kind of thing. So it's kind of a cool thing. Hot rod hippie was the one that inspired me to do that. So what else do you got of floating around there? Let's see some more cool stuff. Uh, we got Pingu. Everyone knows Pingu, right? Wow. You guys don't know who Pingu is? Yes. Okay. Oh, jeez. It's not even here. Wow. Yeah, I want to check out. I see how it is. We got it. I was on a plane. Me and I took it. My print finished and I had to, I had to go get it. Oh my gosh. You're trying to hide yourself but I'm like, nope, I'm calling you out. Yes. That is awesome. The crazy thing is it's head, like the head for some reason usually always goes the right way down and I didn't plan for that at all. So you could say it's heads up. Yeah. Oh boy. Man, there's just like, I have so much stuff. There it is. Yes. I just printed the clock spring. There we go. That's the new clock spring phone holder. One of these things on screen is significantly cooler than the other one. Yes. Totally Shannon's Coke in the back of her. Oh my God. I guess I have like 50 drinks around. Oh, what that? That's sick there. Well, I really like this filament. My new favorite filament. It's called galaxy chromatic. It was discontinued after I ordered this roll. Oh, people, that was close. No. That's the worst. Oh, we do have this. This is what actually started the whole rock thing. I made because I got so sick of the rock meme that I made the infinity rock lit with the infinity rocks. And I was like, I called out to Wayne Johnson was like, just say hi and we'll all stop. That's so good. And then he did, you know. So there's that. He didn't even respond to that video. So I was like, he's responded to an old video and I'm like, which means you have to keep going. That's okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The clock spring is Carl Fenton says clock spring phones. And yes, that's the one. The I this was just I had to go look at the printer. I didn't even look at the printer to see exactly how long it took. I think it was something like 54 minutes and it came out. I mean, it came out super good for 54 minutes. Yeah. Let's see if I can get it better. I mean, I have printers straight out of the box that won't do this in without severe modification. But yeah. Look, mom, I printed something. Like there you go. Yeah. My mom's watching by the way. Hi, mom. But yeah. The thing about the bamboo is like people are like, you shouldn't need the purge tower, but I'm like the purge tower is there to like wipe the blobs. That basically wipes it. Yeah. But like it's very rare on most printers to like not see a seam line. Like it makes no sense to me how that's possible. It's magic. I think it is. Yeah. So here's the thing. You just showed like we showed your whole collection of SpongeBob. My mom was a big SpongeBob fan. So now my printer is probably going to have to be busy for a while. Or one of them. I did. I did back the Kickstarter myself. I money where my mouth is I had to. I know a lot of people did. I mean it the Kickstarter is ridiculous. Now we're back on the X one thing again but but anyways you have some awesome prints there. Do you want to see some other cool stuff? We got some really good hot makes today too. I'm ready. No. Yes. No. Yes. I know you looked away when I went like this. Oh see that he's not paying any attention right now. I am. I actually was changing the window so I could share it in a second. Ladies gentlemen. Let's do some hot big hot hot Spanx. Not hot Spanx. We're not doing hot Spanx. Let's do some hot makes and then I come back. Ben. Let's do this. Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to hot Spanx where we Oh my God. All right. I think we showed this once before but I had to show it again. This is a maker deck. LED there we go. Sweet LED print. I've been doing a lot of my stuff on maker deck recently and it's a super cool place to stream your makes your printers whatever. And this was this was a logo made for them. And I love the lights by the way. But I do think we showed that but I had to show it again. All right. What's next. Steven pool. This was a polymaker 3D poly light PLA pro red and poly Tara charcoal black and Foucault's tech white PLA. There you go. There's a multicolor. Pretty cool. Yeah. So it's a little letter detailing. Steven I I apologize. I didn't see if you were with us tonight or not because I haven't been I've been so enthralled by Ben. I haven't been paying attention to tap much. But it's earlier. I don't know if he's still with us but he let me know if you're if you're here still Stephen I would love to know what you printed this on because it came out pretty dang good. Yeah it's pretty clean actually. Yeah very clean for the for the red. I mean any of the colors. Red is rough when it blends here. Yes. Nice. What red was just pretty definitely. Very hard with white. Yeah. Ponita. Oh is it. It's a small screen. It's all the same. Nice work Steve is it on an end or three. What. On an end or three you must have like a palette or something plugged into it right. Now now I'm enthralled. But yeah super cool stuff very very nice clean print. Looks like an ender three is what he said is I'm curious what you use is it a palette or what. All right what's next Thomas maker Viking. Tagged this let me let me just do this real quick because we're about to trigger some people. This from the deep within the final frontier operated with a snap of a fingers I present the Millennium Enterprise who gate edition with Tart. How they added a fandom. I guess so check this out. I hope there's no audio. I feel like this is something that we just need to like continuously add a fandom too and then see if you can call them all out. Yeah because we saw people printing this and it was just that. And now now we have. Yeah now we have the TARDIS escape. I love it. I love it then on hot makes yes Uncle Jesse bends with us. I know that guy. Big fan love it love it. I love that people blend the fandom some people are super triggered by that but I love it. I made a Star Trek Star Wars joke once never again. Bad idea. Yeah. Was that tick tock yeah. I found out what cancel. Yeah cancel culture was but. He lost like a hundred and a thousand followers in like two seconds because he was like you remember that time. Was on you know. How do you pick up a lightsaber like this though. Yeah. Like this. All right what do we got next here Andy. Oh what. Finish my 3D print of the blue velociraptor from GAM body. This is seventy five percent and I love it. Phenomenal. By the way it's good. I want to paint it by the way. I want to like you were holding up the Pokemon earlier. I saw a couple of them but like when you're going through your your Instagram I want if there was ever like a Persian model because that's like my favorite. I want to print like a life size one and just have this like gigantic Persian just chilling in my house. That'd be so you could do it really quick with a bamboo printer. Man come on. The links in bio. Right. All right here we go. I obviously painting wise it blows in my mind. I cannot paint. I straw stick figure so nice work on this Andy D3D. I mean the texture. Everything kind of life size if you've seen like even the trailers of the new one you know there's a mini blue. I almost like I will not confirm or deny that but I did see it on my my anniversary was Friday five years and it's in the trailers. I got I got my wife and I tickets to Top Gun and do I hear what he knows really good right but yeah I was going between Jurassic Park and Top Gun and I went back and forth so many times. I told her I got Top Gun tickets and I actually bought Jurassic Park tickets. We wanted to see them both but I didn't get to the early screening of it. So yeah I've never I haven't seen a movie on opening day since probably one of the I don't know the Harry Potter or maybe not Harry Potter trying to think oh wait maybe the last Star Wars the last Star Wars probably I went to but belong a while ago movie was really good if you're if you're Jurassic Park fan you need to see it and there might be a mini blue trailer. It's not a spoiler. I haven't seen the trailer. Oh my God. Oh no. It's all ruined now. I'm canceled. He just drops off. And he got that and canceled me I I just watched somebody beat cancel culture so I know how to handle it. Nice work. Nice work. I love it. Nice work and and I can't wait to see more. All right here we go. I just realized we got ten minutes. This one's Chris Bobo. I'm going to go with Bobo. This is just crazy. Maze mode. Oh whoa. You skip the best part. Yeah. What is this? I don't know. It looks like like shells into a vase. Yeah. It's very interesting from one angle. Yeah. Check out my face mode. Oh yeah. We should be on here later than we are. Every show. Hot makes after dark. No I absolutely love this. It's a happy wavy Wednesday everybody. I you know what I got to say this though from this angle right here. I feel like I'm I'm watching a mermaid but the mermaids missing so like you know her mate her mermaid Ariel something. Yeah. Yeah Ariel needs to be in this. I mean you have a printer that now needs something. Someone design it and I'll print it. I love it. Nice work on that and we're going to keep moving. Clock spring knitted vase by BW biker. This vase is sick. This is one of the ones I actually have in the lineup for the bamboo because I want to see it print this on like crazy. Why don't we just turn it up a notch and go full speed. Yeah. I would be really cool to do this with like a point eight to like point one with like a crazy layer height. Yeah. And I got to have to say this though that that quantum blue raspberry. Super nice. Super nice filament. But I think that's back in stock now too. Is it. I think on Amazon. I'm pretty sure we had a conversation about a couple weeks ago. Some of them are I don't. I think that's one of them that is a couple different colors are on there though. Yeah I for one of the models and models awesome Sven is a genius over at clock spring on making different stuff and this one just pops. It pops because of all the texture I think and it doesn't look like it's in vase mode at all. Yeah. Super good. They're carrying it on Amazon stock comes and goes nice. I might need to check that out. All right. I might be the only one that hasn't printed in it yet. I'm not sure. I don't know. Well then I guess I'm not. I mean I haven't done anything because I'm always the last to do it. I haven't even printed a Benji 3D print 3D print beginner. It printed this this clock spring torture toaster. So then was it a year ago year and a half ago. It's been a while. Sven over at clock spring was on the show. And then we challenged him. We challenged him to make a torture test. Hey Jim. Yeah. Check the link that I put in the private chat earlier. Whoa. Whoa. Which one? I had to blow your mind. You're going to blow my mind. Ben's going to blow your mind but like from the past. Oh my. Do you have my volume off? Always. I see it's my TikTok. You son of a guy didn't know what a torture toaster was. I missed this one. I missed this one. Look at this. Yes. Not bad views for back then. Yeah. Yeah. Look at that. I just thought that you were explaining to him what the torture toaster was. Yeah. Well, thank you, Gary. I appreciate that. So I don't need to explain to Ben what a torture toaster is. But what's cool is a 3D print beginner did one on he got one of the X1 settings and he got the same results I did. It printed in what four hours and 20 minutes and it came out. I mean, super good. And we haven't seen a torture toaster actually tagged for hot makes in a long time. So I had to throw it out there. But I have never seen a printer print this right the first time that fast ever because I've never had a printer this fast. But but I mean it takes if you've printed a few of these, I'm not sure how many you've done. These can go horribly wrong very quick. Yeah. Like I think I've done four or five of them and I've never been able to go past the three. Oh, really? Yeah. But obviously I was using like $200, $300 printers and I had no idea what I was doing. Right. But hey, that's awesome though. You tried and I bet you it was 19 hours. Sometimes a long time. But nice work 3D print beginner. Love what you're doing. Love your write ups too. Big Nick. Different kind of making this morning with my boy Ryan. You got a new gate put in. So it's a would make. We'll call it. He said what can I 3D print for it though? I got ideas. I love it. I love it. We should just get him in touch with you and you can just decorate the gate. Well, in my last house, we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor and we had our neighbor I am gonna murder this name. Is it Nydia? I'm gonna go with Nydia. Nice work on this. This is a wave of colors experiment. The problem is, I don't know what it is. So if someone in the chat could tell me, what the heck, what the heck am I seeing here? Because I don't know. I don't think this is 3D printed. I think it's a render. Yeah, it's like a render maybe. OK, well, it says Cinema 4D, so you know. OK, yeah, it's a simulation render. OK, I was going for that as well. But I'm like, someone tagged us and I'm like, this is sick. If someone printed this, we need this model and this filament. Right, the filament, especially. The second thing I thought was like, is this some sort of crazy glass? Like, that would be ridiculous. Yeah. It's just like a cool pause segment or a frame from a fluid simulation of some sort. Yeah, like a screensaver type thing. Yeah, it's amazing. Whatever it is, it's awesome. Like how you said it was, it's a simulation. It's like, isn't this all a simulation? There is no spoon. Everything tastes like chicken. Or 90% of the time I post time-lapse with my 3D printer and people are like, this is just 3D rendered. I'm like, if I could 3D render something like that, I'd be posting TikToks. I love it. All right, last but not least, this might be my favorite of this week. This is a Mandalorian razor crest. One 100th scratch built. I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold. The production period is about one year. I enjoyed it because it was a full scratch built for the first time in a long time, they said. Wow, by the way. Crazy. I don't know if I can zoom in on this, but check this. Can you see there's like lights in here? The detailing in the, yeah. That's insane. Little lights here. I mean, yeah, the detail is just phenomenal. Let us know in the chat what you think. I think this is hot. Geez. Again, though, I'm like lacking the banana for scale at its time. Right, well, it's one 100th, clearly. Yeah, okay. One 100th scale of a ship that doesn't exist in real life. Yeah. Exactly. That probably changes size depending on what scene they have it in to make it look the best. Yeah. I mean, that's perfect. Confused with diesel. I love it. That's Hot Spanx. I love it. Hot Spanx is the show we're doing with Ben at 10. Subscribe to my only friend. I get to leave for that one. Awesome. We're going to be on his TikTok doing some Hot Spanx. No, that's my only Prince account. Oh my God. Your only Prince. Got it. I like that. Only Prince. Now we're going with somewhere. No. Now we're going somewhere. Is Geary mixing Star Wars and Transformers now? Maybe. I'm not sure. Hey, I got to say this, though. This is sick. It is very nice. Nice work. I mean, the detailing that this person put into this. That is like movie set quality. Yeah, even inside is crazy. It's awesome. You're right, though. We do need a banana for scale, so let's get on that. Quick Photoshop. Quick. Someone photoshopped a tiny banana in there. Oh man. Nice. Well, that was our Hot Spanx of the Week and they were awesome. Man, it's been a lot of fun, Ben. I know we promised you an hour and you got the TikToks to play with and stuff, but we can't wait to see more. Before we go, before we finish up anything the rest of this segment, if anyone here has not heard of you, let's do it again. Where do we find you? What do you do and who are you? You can find me on, oh, one sec. I'm new here. I've never, is this landscape? I'm gonna use the portrait. You can find me on any social with this. And I just post different content. Oh yeah, there we go. Yeah. Guys, I don't want to be big. Why not? He's got to believe. I'm big. Is this a fact joke? I mean, I moved to America and I got bigger for sure. Oh my God. Here you go. I'm huge in China, by the way. I love it, man. Go check out Ben's stuff. We have links in the description. You can find all the stuff or a lot of the things that he does. Follow him on the TikToks. Let's get him to four million. And we're gonna have some fun. I know we talked about doing a live, a co-live, I guess, on the TikToks where I, and I just need to do, I've never been live on TikTok. So I guess maybe I should start now and maybe we should do a race. That's what I was thinking, yeah. And we can even do like challenges, right? Like if you get to 10,000 likes in your live stream, we have to do a filament swap or something. Like do something that's like a game, right? Be kind of fun. I'll let you explain it to me because I am TikTok illiterate, so I will follow your direction. But anybody else, anything else before we go, Shannon? I don't know, guys. I will be live tomorrow on my stream. Stay tuned for timing. I'm waiting for a confirmation on when I will be going. I might be going earlier back to my normal schedule. Nice, what are you working on? I don't know. We might have a raid, guys, and see what we used to do for Kenobi. So, I don't know, though. Don't quote me on that. It was talked about. But stay tuned. That's really all I got and have fun at Murph, but we have a week before then, so. We have a couple weeks. So next week we're gonna do like a Murph pre-episode. Let's talk about Murph, talk about some cool stuff that's happening, and then we'll talk about what we're gonna do at Murph because we might have something fun coming from Hot Makes at Murph. I've been working behind the scenes on that. But anybody else, Ben, hang out right there. We'll be right back with you. Everybody else, thank you guys so much for joining us. We're glad to be back. I'm super excited to be back. I was lost without the last two Mondays. So, we will see you next Monday, same time, same channel right here on Hot Makes, 6 p.m. Central. And everybody else, have a great night, and we'll see you guys next week. Bye, guys.
