 What is up Hot Makers? Welcome to another Monday right here on Hot Makes. I'm Nerdy J. This is the pooch that's leaving us. Pooch, how you doing? I'm fantastic. It's, I'm not gone yet. I got two, I got two more weeks and we're going out with a bang. Who knows? Oh, it's gonna be awesome. We have such an awesome show for everybody tonight. Emily, the engineer's with us and we cannot wait to dive into her engineer brain and see what she's up to. So that's awesome. How was your week? Good week. What do we do? You know, hot weekend. I spent the weekend in the shop. I was putting in a new AC system and, man, it was a, it was a good project. It was like, there were aspects of it that were harder than anticipated and then easier than anticipated. So all in all, I'm happy with how it progressed. Really liked that mini-split system was a good option, good value, it seems, and it worked great. Today was the first day we ran the entire print farm with the new AC system in there and we were cool as a cucumber. So I love it. Which one did you go with? I got a Mr. Cool DIY set up and it really was really pretty DIY. The hardest part was like figuring out how to mount that condenser unit on the back of the building and making sure the landlord was happy with it and all that stuff. And then just getting the electrical done all the back there. So it was like a series of dominoes like leading up to it. Like I didn't have the electrical connections for it and so I had to put a sub-panel in and so literally it's been like a year in the works. I had to build the print room, had to upgrade a bunch of electrical and then finally got this in and learned a lot about HVAC. I guess it could be an HVAC technician now. How hard could it be, right? Apologies to the HVAC technicians out there. No, it looks like you did great from the tweets you were throwing out there and hopefully it stays cool. Your power stays on so you can keep using it. The shop, we're really lucky because I've mentioned like we are on the same part of the grid as our local hospital. So if we lose power, like we're literally the last to lose power because the hospital would be out as well. But at my house is a different story. We're like the first to lose power, that I don't care if we don't have power out in the sticks. They're just out, right? Yeah, tell me bear weekend, what'd you do? Geez, what did I do? Oh, we hung out. I did a wedding on Saturday. So I had a wedding at an awesome outside venue and it was great. A lot of fun, the Milwaukee Bucks won and now we're gonna win in game six tomorrow night. So if you're not a Bucks fan, I'm sorry. Is that sports ball of some kind? Yeah, yeah, sports ball, you know, that's a basket kind where you bounce it and you throw it in. Oh, I've heard of that. Yeah, yeah. Awesome. Okay. So that was awesome. And then probably the best part, yesterday we took my little man, he's 14 months old now, right? We took him over to a splash pad, like where the water comes out of the ground and stuff. Is he out of water now? He was out of his mind. Like just, he didn't care about the water. He wanted to be in it and all over him. He was like, he'd hit it in his face, would get splashed and he'd take a couple steps back and so that was the highlight of my weekend there and it was so much fun with him. Man, kids are so spoiled with their splash pads. We didn't have splash pads growing up. Like we had actually, we had a park down the street that had these like concrete water fountains that you'd like knock your teeth out if you slipped on it and you know, back in the hardened streets of Cupertino growing up. But no, there's so many awesome splash pad parks around now and it is a great family activity. I'm glad a little man's getting into it. Yeah, it was so much fun and he doesn't like when the shower comes on. I don't know if it's the sound of the shower. So we were like, I don't know what he's gonna do but we're gonna see what happens. So we just set him down and he was like, boom, gone. It was, it was amazing. But I do have to say thanks. Thank you so much for your sponsorship. Tonight we'll give away a $50 Amazon gift card just like every week towards the end. And it is awesome. I believe things sponsors Emily as well, which is great. And they're here with us too. I see Uncle Jesse is very excited to have Emily on. He said, get these old guys off. Let's get Emily on here. So we're gonna get that. He's also excited about splash pads apparently. He spends time in the splash pad. Good, good having you Clayton. There's so much fun, there's so much fun. But other than that, you know what? I think we're gonna grab Emily, we're gonna pull her in and then we're gonna jump into hot makes so we can spend the rest of the time with Emily. So ladies and gentlemen, first time on the show, welcome Emily the engineer. Emily, how are you? Hey, doing good. Emily, we are very excited to have you. This has actually been in the works for a little bit of time. I was like, our people had to call your people. And obviously you're a huge sensation ever since you started with the Iron Man suits and we'll get into that in a few minutes. So look forward to that. You can see them in the background there with Emily. But hopefully welcome and hopefully you had a great weekend as well. Yeah, thank you. Good, good. Before we go anywhere, before we jump in the hot makes, like who are you, where can we find you? And then we'll dive more into the minute but like while we're in the beginning of the episode, let everybody know who you are. Sure, my name is Emily. I build a bunch of nerdy stuff just for fun. I'm on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, all at Emily the engineer. I like building things like that, mostly Marvel stuff because you know, I'm a Marvel nerd but we're trying to venture outside of Marvel a little bit here and there but it's kind of what I do, I guess. That's fantastic. You're in the right place then. We have a lot of people in various aspects of the maker community hanging out with us every week and we always love to see what other people are doing with their nerdy inventions. Yeah. No, it's gonna be awesome. But first, let's not go any further. Have you ever seen the hot makes? I have not. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's fine. But yeah, so while we're about to jump in some hot makes we're gonna check out people's stuff, all the nerdy stuff that they tag us in over on the Twitters and other social media but first, let's roll the bumper. Mine in that metal. I love it. The first one we got is bad dog designs. This is very near to completion. This is a beam engine and steam generator. I saw this and I absolutely fell in love with this. Check this out. That is something, man. Look at that. It's an actual steam powered. Well, the steam's working. Generic. We'll go into more depth in a second here. We're just spitting out. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So further down, he said, let's see, here we go. It is a remix of the original Gemini clock like this. Let's see, boom. So that is what it's gonna be a remix of when it's done. Whoa. And it does it. That's gonna be huge. Side. Yeah. And I love this little, this little vac tube, like LEDs that he's got. Those are so cool. Wow. Like literal, literal steampunk. It's like it doesn't get any more steampunk than this. That is so fun to watch. What do you guys, tell us in the chat what you guys think of this. Coming from the Gemini man himself, Will Smith, he thinks it's hot. Ah, man. That's something, man. I'm digging it. I can't wait to see it done. And if you see it done, tag us so we can throw it in here next week. But have you ever seen anything like that? Like, have you ever made anything like this, Emily? Oh Lord, you know, not something like that. You're talking a whole different side of stuff now. So what you're saying, the arc reactors in your suits aren't functional then is what I'm understanding. They're just props for the time being until you figure out fusion and everything. Maybe. Maybe. Wait, wait, wait, wait, do you use fusion to create the suits? Oh, like fusion 360. Ah, there you go. There's some hinges in there. There's some fusions, or, oh my gosh, hinges made from fusion in there. Nice. All right, all right. Too funny. All right, what do we got next? Lightspeed, he's always hitting us with something. And this week is a clock spring phone stand. This thing came out, I think last week. Oh, what a great model bike. This thing is a phenomenal model by Svan, a great friend of the show. But he did it in that polycarbonate prusimate. And I think it's a, let's see, let's jump into this, and you kind of see some pictures. But this thing is a print in place, and then it folds together and twists in. I actually have one in the house, I should have grabbed it. Yeah, and didn't Joel do a video on it this week as well, too? We've seen it going around. Yeah. And it lays flat, right? So you can... And it's sick, it prints all the gears. You can move it up and down and then tighten it into where you want it and everything. It's such a cool model. Have you printed any of the clock spring stuff, or have you ever seen clock springs stuff, Emily? Not too much. Oh my goodness, not as far as 3D printing goes. This is a whole other side to it I haven't gotten to dive into. He makes prints in place models, and he does some crazy hinges, and as you can see, all sorts of gears and wheels, and everything prints in place, and then you can print it on a basic end or three. You test everything, and then you just fold it all together or close the door and lock it, however, whatever model it is. And one of the best-valued Patreons out there, I mean, it's just phenomenal. Yeah, he's prolific, too. I mean, he's constantly releasing new stuff. It's not, you know, almost, what would you say, Jim? Like, I'm not quite weekly, but it seems like close, a lot of the time. Pretty often, yeah. And it's just him, so. I don't know how he finds the time. My friend from Down Under, Sven clock spring. If you have time or you haven't heard of him before, definitely go check out his Patreon. Well worth the money, for sure. Gary, what was that? Oh, I just, I was just saying, you mentioned the Toaster, the Torture Toaster. Yes. Yeah, he did our Torture Toaster. That's right. Where's your Torture Toaster, Jim? Torture Toaster. It's over behind me. You haven't seen the Torture Toaster, Emily? Oh, no. I saw it in the loop. Did you play a video? I believe she lives in the cave. You have to come to the dark side and spend some more time on Twitter, because I know you're more of the Instagram TikTok camp, and you just miss a whole other world. I know, I've always gone to Twitter for the memes and stuff, like, and that's all I've gone to in order. We say, come for the memes, stay for the hot makes. That's why. Yeah, that's our new logo right now. We just came up with it, our tagline. All right, what do we got next? Let's see. I'll find the Torture Toaster. I'll make sure you see it before we leave. Let's see what we got. Stock 3D printing. Not sure why I picked out this filament color, but it was on the CR10 Smart, which is hiding behind me as well. And 52 hours, 52 hours, that's a heck of a print. Check out this Mando. That's a nice transition spool. There we go. That's an Arian filament, the transition spool. Yeah, the Arian rainbow, it looks like, yeah. That came out really clean. That's a neat, that's a neat model. Who did this model? Let's see, no model. No credit for the model? No credit for the model. Is it stock 3D printings? No credit for the model. No credit for the model. Hmm. Who knows? Tell us in the chat if you know who did this model. Is it stock 3D printings or did he do somebody else's? Yeah, I'm not sure. It doesn't say and for that, we go next. All right. This was one of my, I had to, I had to. This was one of my favorite tweets. Fail. Like, Joel hates this printer. This is our hot mess of the week. Yeah, no, no, no, this gets better. He says this thing is absolute trash. It hasn't printed good at all since the video he did. This thing's garbage, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the reason I put this on here is because someone else commented and said, the sculptor wishes it could have been this. Check this out. That, yes. I saw this. This is incredible. There's two hot ends on this thing. The centerpiece is like a purge block. So it'll cruise over here, spin itself around and then purge off the next color here. And it'll go on top. Oh my God. That. Isn't that, isn't that just wild? Like, and then just to like be able to map, like first of all, like wrapping your head around polar printing, like is just, I can't do it. It's a whack. It hurts my brain. It hurts my brain too. I know. And then to see it, like now doing pivot, but, and yeah, obviously, you know, conceptually this is fantastic. And there's really no limit to like, why not have foreheads? Why not have, you know, it's just a matter of, you know, footprint, but what a fantastic concept. And I love seeing multiple extruder printers too, because they waste a lot less plastic. You don't need nearly the amount of purge to pivot from one to the other, as you do with something like the MMU or the palette where it literally has to like bleed out the color before you can go to the next color. Right. When I saw that, the reason I really wanted to put this is just because I saw that and I was like, well, I mean, can you imagine, I mean, the firmware, the programming, they had to go in the back end of that. To make it like spin over here, do the purge, do the print, spin back over here, do the purge, do the, you know what I mean? The whole time, oh man, it's way beyond me, way beyond me. It's not just maths, it's like hard maths, Mark. Come on, man, it's advanced maths. Mark is, yeah, it's just math, you know, it's just like taking pictures really nicely. I do it, it's not, you know, that's what Mark does. I have, Jim, I have a confession and Emily, I bought a sculpt, I bought a sculpt too. It was like 99 bucks on mega discount, like somebody bought a bunch, it was blowing them out. So I bought it on eBay, but it's like still in the box. And I was like, oh, even if it doesn't work, you know, maybe it'll make for a nice museum piece or whatever. Cause I didn't have any, I don't have a polar printer. And what I want to do eventually in the shop is like have a nice display of like all the different, you know, motion systems that become, you know, like I have a Delta, I've got, you know, plenty of Cartesians and stuff like that. I don't have a Scara yet, but maybe someday, I don't know, it'd be better if it was working, obviously. But who knows, maybe somebody, I know Nero3D was talking about putting Clipper on it. So who knows, maybe somebody would want something. You should have just drove up to Joel, he would have thrown his at you and you could have had it. I mean, it would have cost me more than 99 dollars to go up to Joel to get it. So, you know. This is true, this is true. Maybe next to all the stuff you just mentioned, you can have an A-Net that was on fire, just, you know. No, fast, no. Slightly crispy. Too good, all right, what do we got next? Oh man, so this was an article that was put out and this is phenomenal. This person takes like regular film machines at a Raspberry Pi and makes digital film with it. I mean, I went into this article and I'm just thinking like the possibilities could be just amazing with this for old school like vintage photos. Basically, a Raspberry Pi Camry module, a Pi Zero and a LiPo battery. And then it goes through, you know, what they do. What a clever idea. There's a little bit of a video that will kind of go through so we don't get strigh, you know, that. That is really interesting. So they created kind of like a faux film canister to hold the sensor. And then obviously it's all about getting it, you know, Mark would say, you know, maths to get the sensor aligned and in focus and all that stuff. So this is definitely a video I want to dive deeper into, but what a great concept. And did he need to mod the case of the camera at all in order to get all that goodness in there? I guess I'll have to watch and find out. Yeah, definitely have to watch and find out. He's got to get some real time view of it. That's amazing. Well, uses the Pi and the Pi cam, you know, it's crazy. So don't forget in the description of the video, you can find our Google Drive link. It'll take you to all of the stuff we've ever done and look for episode 64, I believe. And this is one of the links in there today. So check that out. But I couldn't believe when we were tagged in this, I was like, you know, 3D printing does a lot of stuff for a lot of things, but I never would have thought to 3D print a module to go on a back of an old, you know, film camera. Right. Yeah. And I love when people like kind of bring new life to old stuff, because it's a big pet peeve of mine that we are in such a disposable society these days that everybody's like, oh, it's just, like I can't get any money for it. I may as well just throw it away or may as well e-waste it. And then, you know, we end up with all this perfectly good, but dated stuff. And it's really neat to see people come up with creative ideas like this. So that's cool. Emily, are you into photography at all or just to serve your, you know, obviously to show off what you're doing, but go any deeper than that? A little bit, probably mostly just for what I do, like recording videos and stuff. My husband is though, and that's kind of something we did a little bit while we were dating. We go and bring our DSLRs and I'm not quite as good as at it. He had a class on it and everything. So he gives me a lesson or two every now and again, but. That's cool. And what a fun like date activity too. That wouldn't occur to me. Hey, let's go take some photos. Like why don't I just go find some cool stuff to see and that's great. That's awesome. They're actually bringing that back kinda. So for, man, I'm trying to remember it. I think it was for Christmas, could be wrong. My wife got me like this book of activities and it came with like a new style Polaroid camera. And the idea is you pick an activity out of a book and then you guys go and you use that camera to take pictures of, you know, to actually have like real film pictures of what you're doing. And then you put that picture in the book. Yeah. Super cool idea. But yeah, so I mean, I can't say I've ever been on a photography date, but I might be soon. You never know. We just actually have to go. Well, don't tell Lindsey. It's a little harder. She's probably watching. That sounds fun. Yeah, right. No, well, it's a little bit harder now with our little guys 14 months old and it's a little bit more tricky now to sneak out. But anyways, let's start over. Emily, you're with us. I think we're starting over. Everybody wants to know. Yeah, we're done. Okay. Everybody. Sit. Ah-ha. It was a random intro in the middle of the show. Perfect. No, I said we were starting over. That's our rogue AI right there. Thank you, Gary. I appreciate that. She did it. Hang on. She called you Jarvis. So you want to explain to me who Jarvis is? He's in the social post too. What's up with that? He's nobody. He's nobody compared to you, Gary. We love you. Don't worry. Look at me. I am the AI now. Okay. Okay. All right, you win. I am the AI. I have those little flippy eyes. You know, you have those. He is related to Clippy. Yeah. Yeah. Is it better to be feared or respected? And I say, is it too much to ask for both? There you go. There's our very Tony Stark. Now he's going to start quoting the Tony Stark. Thanks. Let's face it. This is not the worst thing you've caught me doing. It's true. That's true, we saw your face once. All right. Anyways, let's start over, Emily. How did you get started in 3D printing and making and all that stuff? I mean, where did it start for Emily? Yeah, when I, oh Lord, it's kind of fun to think about where it started. But when I was 14 or so, my dad made me go watch the Avengers with him. It was like, you're coming with me. I was like, okay. You know, him and my brother were into that. And so I went with them and I watched it. And I was like, wow, this is pretty cool. So when I was 14, I had nothing to do that summer. It's like raining every day outside, had nothing to do. And so I made a foam version of one of these guys. And I thought that was pretty fun. I mean, that's what I did. And, you know, it was kind of over with done. I didn't really think about it for a while, but I was like, hey, that was pretty cool. And then fast forward to college, we have a maker space with a bunch of 3D printers and now they're becoming a lot more affordable and you get your hands on one and stuff like that. And they would let us print for free. And, you know, that I was like, kind of, I'd go home and I'd look at this like piece of foam, like hunk of foam over standing in the corner. And I was like, what if I just use this to do that? I like, I could do this a lot better. And so from there, I printed the red guy. And once you like, and a lot of my friends that like do the same thing will tell you, once you make one, you automatically know everything that's wrong with that one. And you wanna try to like fix it and do another one and do another one and do another one or just use it to make more things. And that's kind of where it started. And since I've graduated and stuff, thankfully, this is kind of taken off and I've been able to do a little bit more with it, but. Wow. Okay, so that was like nine years ago. So we love a good origin story here, first of all. So that's cool. So, yeah, Avengers came out like almost 10 years ago at this point, which is wild just to think of it by myself. But, and then you got the bug and you've made two suits at this point or more? So these are the two printed ones. I have one like foam one back at home, but so far they're in total, there are three right now. Nice. You keep the foam one like in a closet. So if anyone ever breaks in, they open the door and they're like, whoa. It's standing in the corner in my room at my parents' house. You've been better, you've been better. It's literally standing in the corner. I think like we rented our house out one time and we even just kind of left it there. And the people that rented our house were like, apparently a bunch of engineers and they were like, we like this, this is cool. We're like, good. Glad it didn't scare the living heck out of me. Yeah, how can you not like that? That's so cool. I love it. So, okay, so is it true the third time as a charm? Like, do you feel like you've perfected the suit now or are you just like, I've already got 20 other things. If I was gonna do it again, I would do over. There are still a lot of things. But like if I were to, things are mirrored here, if I were to look at that one and compare it to that one, I can move 10 times better in that one than I can in that one. Cause I mean, in the weights distributed a lot better, that was a huge thing. Cause I mean, as soon as the weight is all just focused on your shoulders or something, you can only wear it for like so long without getting exhausted. So weight distribution, being able to move a lot more, a lot of stuff has improved. But of course there's like a little, you know, a couple of things here and there. I'm like, could be better, you know? Well, you know, in your videos on it, what I liked about it is that you took the model and then you actually like modded it, maybe changed it or whatever you had to do to make it fit you better and make maybe the hinges better or, you know, the different, I think you have buttons, right? And you're, is it in your wrist? Is that right? Yeah, I have like for the wrist missile, I have a little pressure switch that's like below my wrist. And if I pull it down, it'll hit it. I have a button in the chin of the helmet so I can open the helmet separate from the suit. Little things like that here and there. And then you just, what model did you start with? Did you start with like a specific one out there just so everybody knows? Yeah. Yeah. Well, for the blue one, I used a do 3D model and their stuff is pretty good. Like I'd say the Mark 7 though, I could not fit my leg through the thigh. Like I'm a skinny individual, okay? Like it did not fit a person, correct? So I had to end up like, you know, modding it like physically with a heat gun and stuff like that. And had to make, had to design a back brace infusion so I could kind of hold the back piece up. Cause if I were to just attached it there, it would have just looked very disproportionate. So in order to make it like fit well and to make it wearable too, I had, I did have to do a lot of modding to it for sure. And had you done, had you done a lot of like cosplay prior to this? Not really. And honestly, I don't even know, I've never worn anything but the suits as far as cosplay goes, I guess. I guess I enjoy building props. And I guess if someone were to ask me like, what do you do? I'd probably talk more about like building props rather than suits is just like, you know if I build an Iron Man suit, I'm gonna wear it. So like, but I don't know if I would consider myself like a cosplayer, I guess. But of course with these, I definitely wear them for sure. Sure. Sure. And so do you, you do other prop work. Do you have like other things handy that you'd like to show off that you've been working on outside of the Iron Man? Sure. Iron Man? I made this the other day, just Loki's little Oh, I love it. Dickies right there. I stopped to put a little strap on it. This is the first thing I modeled in Blender though. So I'm learning Blender right now. Okay. And then I've got Captain America shield right here. I modeled this in like solid works. It was a simple shape. So I just went ahead and did it in solid works and everything. Yeah, it's not so much the shape though. It's the finishing on that piece, huh? Look at, you've got some really, really good detail on that piece though. That's amazing. Thank you. Yeah, that was something I had to learn. I had never painted with like chrome and an airbrush before or anything. So that was something that I learned that was new. So that's a good question. So do you kind of just learn as you go along? I mean, do you know some of the stuff before? How do you learn as you're moving ahead? So like, hey, I need an airbrush chrome on this. What do I do? How does Emily learn that? Yeah, a lot of it is trial and error because I made a Power Ranger helmet for my dad for Father's Day. And I just like doing what I do. I'm throwing chrome down and I'm putting other paints on top of the chrome. Like you learn, wow, this does not stick. This paint does not stick to that. It's a lot of learning through failure in terms of things like that. And then now I've thankfully been able to kind of like make a lot of friends that are doing like similar things and they have a lot of tips of, hey, I've done this before. You may not wanna go down that route. That may not turn out the way you think it will. So things like that. That's awesome. So we had a couple of questions from the chat. Uncle Jesse says, do you print the entire suit and then start finishing or do you finish as you go? I ideally want to say, yes, I just kind of like do one step at a time, print the whole thing and finish it. And that's what I'm trying to do with this one because I'm trying to document the process more over on YouTube. So I'm trying to be like, now it's printed. Now I'm gonna sand it. I'm trying to do that for documentation purposes, but it gets so hard when you're like, I really just want to see what it looks like painted. And then you just go ahead and start doing it anyway. So I end up, I would like to do the first, what he mentioned prior, but I end up just kind of painting as I go, but yeah. So and the one you're working on is, I believe we talked about it. It's the Heartbreaker suit, right? The third one you're working on. Ben Howard says, how's it coming along if you can talk about it? I don't know how much you want to share, but yeah. Yeah, it is, again, I'm trying to, I'm trying my best to just print and then paint and stuff. And so I think everything except for the boots are printed out of PLA. So the entire thing is pretty much done with the exception of TPU like inserts for in between like the elbow and the legs and stuff like that. Because another thing I wanted to improve, on these two, there wasn't too much like filling in a bunch of gaps, but I was like, I really want you to not be able to see me in this thing. So that'll be my next step is printing all the TPU bits for it. That's really fascinating how much it's not just about the, I mean, there's so much more that goes into doing something like this where there's a practicality element. There's obviously a lot of aesthetic that go into it like wearability. Obviously, no two people are gonna fit it the same way. And so it really has to be a personalized suit. And I'm sure when people see that you've done that, you've been asked a million times like, can you make me one? And it doesn't have nearly the appeal of most people to commission something like that because of how customized it really is, right? Oh yeah, there's so many people. That's the most common question I get is, can I have an Iron Man suit? And I'm like, well, number one, they take several months to bake. Number two, I would need to like, you would need to come here. Like I need to see like, how tall you are, like how wide your shoulders are. Cause stuff like that affects like how proportionate it looks too, you know? I mean, like you have to have like the show, things I'm learning about proportions and stuff as well. I mean, like I'm trying to get the helmet as small as it can be. So it still fits my head, but it doesn't look like a bobble head. The shoulders have to be out to a certain width, like for it to look decent, you know? So it's a lot of what makes it look good is trying to nail the proportions and that can be really hard. Sure. Yeah, this is not a turnkey thing, obviously. It's not like, oh, I can just spit these things out and people will fit in them, yeah. Right. So we're looking at the printed parts you had. This is from your Instagram. If you haven't checked out Emily's Instagram, highly suggest that and check out her TikTok as well, cause she does a lot of fun stuff on there. And she's silly and has a lot of fun with it. So let her be silly. I saw the comments on one of them, like someone's like, why are you so silly? What do you mean? Why am I so silly? Cause that's who I am. I'm gonna sit here and watch a video about 3D printing with me talking in a monotone voice, like. Yeah. I get you. But this is awesome. You Emily, don't let people tell you. Thank you, sir. Yeah. Geez. So we did have a question. Are you making this one the real original color? We'll call it original color. Are you gonna make this one another crazy color? I think this one might be the OG colors. I'm planning on wearing this one to Silicon Valley Comic Con next month. Oh, wow. Next month. Yeah. Yeah, I know. But I mean, it's all printed. It's just a bunch of painting, I guess. And motorizing. Yeah, sure. It's gonna be fun, right? But I think I'm gonna do the OG colors on this one. I have so many color schemes in my head that it's like, man, I wanna do that at some point. But I'm like, maybe not for this one. So we might just stick with the normal ones on this one. Nice. What else we got? Tripods Garage, our resident one-legged YouTuber. There's a good one-legged Iron Man suit. You know, if it was me on this, I would make a regular suit and then make it look like the other leg is blown off with the electronics hanging there. Oh, that would be so good. That would be cool. It would also mean I wouldn't have to mirror the leg and print the other leg, too. It's less printing. Think about all the money you're saving on filament tripods garage or something like that. I love it. I love it. And then what is your absolute favorite print? We're doing a lot of questions from the community, which is amazing. So keep a lot of interest. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, favorite print, right? I always say this, but like it's always, it always ends up being the most recent thing you're printing. You know, I'll show you something silly though. I was gonna say like heartbreakers because you know, like it's the most recent thing I'm doing, but something I did today, which is probably really stupid but really fun at the same time. I saw someone on... We love silly. Let's get silly. I saw someone on TikTok share that like Marvel was gonna make like Loki Crocs because Loki Gator, Crocodile... Are they really? I was talking about that last week. I was like, I wanna make the Crocs. You go, oh my God! I just printed it today. Yes. So that's like the take on croaky, but yeah, okay, it could start. Oh man. It's so good. I saw it on there and I was like, I just modeled the Loki helmet and I literally just shrink it down. I did this in like 30 minutes. I was like, I'm doing this right now. I shrink it down through some hooks on the back of it and I'm like, this is my project for today. So yeah. That is phenomenal. Now there's a lot of awesome makers out there, designers too, throwing out like Loki Crocodiles and stuff like that's the first time I've seen actual Loki Crocs. So it's like a magic on that one. You got to post that. We got to get that out there. I know. I just, I did it like two hours ago. So got it, got the first sneak peek at it. Exclusive, exclusive. That's the beauty of this space where, I mean, you could just literally like whip something up. Like, this is gonna be fun. I'm gonna do a print it, put it on there. Like you could just- And it looked like it fit great. Yeah. First try? It's a little uncomfortable. You know, you've got some horns like stabbing you while you try to walk, but like for the meme, you know, it's great. So good. Oh man, maybe you should print, like if you printed it to hook on to like the front of the shoe. Yeah, like the whole horns. Yeah. Like the little, the little, this thing or the- Or like on the front. Like the top of the leading up the top. Then it wouldn't hurt you while you're walking and if you kick some, well, anyways. You've got a self-defense mechanism. Yeah, you're built in Loki horns. So, so Uncle Jesse has one more for you. How does Emily differ her content from TikTok, Insta and YouTube? That's a good question. That is a good question. Everybody take notes. Oh no, don't take notes. I don't know what I'm doing. But yeah, I'd say TikTok is definitely more of the silly, like creative outlet. I mean, I, the stupidest things that I post on there will be the ones that do well. And I don't know why. What did I post the other day? I mean, I posted myself like, what was it? What was the one? Oh, the, or I just walk in the room. It's like my friend, my friend, like a friend walks in the room. It's like my friend coming over to visit. And then I'm just standing over the, in the corner and it says the caption is like me, 3D printing another Iron Man suit. And just like laughing the Seth Rogen laugh like, like, and that one blew up. I was like, why? You know, like you get all these silly little things, but TikTok is definitely- It's best not to ask why. Just TikTok does what TikTok does. Oh yeah. And you know, it does. You don't question it, you know? And yeah, TikTok is, oh, good. No, good. Well, TikTok is just definitely the more silly creative outlet. Instagram, I try to keep up like, you know, posting picture updates. A lot of times I end up kind of like posting reels on there, now that that's a thing. But I try to, it's a little more professional on Instagram. I'd say professional, maybe not. I don't know, as far as as much professional as I could probably get, I guess. And then on YouTube, recently I've been doing some printer reviews and that's been fun. I try to make them a little more fun by not trying to be like monotone or anything, you know, try to joke around in them. But I don't, I'm not intending on making my YouTube like a review channel. I just so happened. Now I posted like an Ender 7 review video and that was one of the first ones. And so a bunch of companies after that were like, hey, review our printer. And so recently I've been getting a bunch of printers to review, but at the same time I'm trying to balance like, this is kind of fun. But like, I also don't want it to turn into a review channel, I want to just build stuff. So yeah, that's kind of the direction I'm trying to balance that on YouTube, but still have fun. All across the board, we're trying to have fun, I guess. I think there's a lot of creators in our audience that can relate to that, you know, Uncle Jesse, Joel, like that kind of thing where it's a fine line, right? It's like people come to the channel and for them they started, like Joel started more like specifically with 3D printer. So it's a different thing than, you know, I'm building and then there's like a nice segue. And it has to be nice for you like to, one, it's flattering that you get offered that. And two, I think that companies are starting to learn like maybe that's a better angle or better approach. Like let's take somebody that's doing like really neat stuff and have them look at it from that perspective. So, you know, if you find the balance where it's enjoyable for you and you get to, you know, you're getting printers and you can spend a little bit of time, you know, doing the review, but it doesn't become all about that. Maybe it's a win-win, right? Yeah, and I thought maybe kind of trying to corporate, see if companies are okay with like me incorporating, maybe I just build something on their printer. Maybe I'm not doing like an in-depth review. Maybe I'm like, hey, today I'm gonna be using this guy to build this and that way I'm kind of promoting their stuff, you know, and I'm getting the job done at the same time, but we'll see. I'd say that the only time that seems like it'd get frustrating is if you're actually trying to make progress for your thing and like if the printer doesn't perform the way you expect it to or whatever now you've gotta spend more time, you know, doing that. Such is the way, I guess. Nice. No, it's so good and it happens so fast. Next thing you know, you have the 25 printers around you and you don't know what to do with half of them. Yes. And then you take them to Murph and start handing them to people. Take one, take one, I really, I think I brought- I'm already offering them to some friends. That's the way to do it, that's the way to do it. There's at least, I think five people in the chat at least that have printers that I was just like, here you go, congratulations. And then it's awesome to see them use them. I just wasn't, I wouldn't use them. But so we had a couple more questions. I know there was some silly ones, some fun ones. What's next after the Iron Man? Have you thought about that far ahead? Like what are you gonna do next after the Heartbreaker suit? Yeah, I know, I wanna venture more into, I mean, I'm a big Marvel nerd, big Iron Man nerd, right? Wanna venture into some other stuff though. I know my husband's a huge Star Wars fan. I thought about doing some Star Wars stuff. I like the idea of having one big project that I'm like consistently working on that may, you know, it may take a couple of months. And then doing a bunch of smaller things along the way. So I can still do like these one, these little small projects, like the bloke's little headpiece and stuff, like little things along the way, but also keep a big project. And for the next big one, I know everyone and their mother, the one they all keep asking for is Hulk Buster. That is what everyone keeps asking for. And, you know, my response is always, well, when I move into a place with taller ceilings, we will attend. Right? So maybe at some point that might be down the road, if I get a work, like, I don't even have a workshop. We're just kind of like working out of some guest bedrooms right now. And yeah, if I can get a workshop or get like a good working space, maybe that'll be down the road. We'll see. Cool. Nice. That'll be exciting to see. It would be. Yeah, that's the same thing. It'd be fun. Fantastic. All right. So go ahead. I feel like I talk all day, I'm like, yeah, Iron Man suit is seriously one of the hottest things like people see that and it's just immediately like this visceral reaction to the coolest, you know, like why why 3D printing is exciting to a lot of people because it enables, you know, you can 3D print parts for everything. And how many parts, first of all, Emily is an Iron Man suit, roughly. Lots. Yeah, lots. If you're talking about like splitting up things like the chest piece and like those are individual parts. I mean, one over 100, 200, something, maybe. Well, it's a lot. As far as like individual individual pieces that I'm putting on, not so many, maybe like 20 or so, but like, you know, it you end up having to connect a lot together and split up. Sure. And it turns into a lot for sure. But the beauty of being able to like, like you said, you're almost in a lot of places when you have that many parts, you're probably like iterating and learning different painting processes as you go. And if something doesn't come out the way you want, you can just print out another one and do it. Obviously, you know, that's glossing over. It's a lot of work. And I'm not saying to trivialize it, but but it's so neat that we have this technology that enables this kind of thing where the it's it's relatively affordable and quick to to kind of make your modifications, make it fit your body better, make, you know, do different do different things and learn as you go. And I think I think that's that's that's really awesome to see how how far you've come. And and we are very excited to see what is next. I love hearing about all the ideas. I love the silly stuff. I think that you got to you got to you got to you can never yourself too seriously, right? Oh, yeah, you got to you got to keep up to silly. I mean, I saw that on I think you posted on your most recent video. You just did another review and you said, hey, I don't want to be a review channel. And why am I silly? Because that's who I am. Like, that's that's the bottom line. And that's that's awesome. I think you have a lot of fun with that. And we all love watching. If you haven't watched Emily's channel or checked her out on the TikTok or Instagram, the TikToks are hilarious. I know things was just commenting that they saw the one you were talking about, we're cracking up as well. And and Andrew Osmond, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Tonight, we're actually streaming on my channel as well. If you're watching on my channel, jump in the links. I've been posting every five minutes on my channel to come over to the hot makes channel. I just want to do this once in a while to remind everybody that we moved hot makes from my channel over here to the hot makes channel. So if you're watching, come over now and don't forget you need to use the link in the description or that's been pumped through the chat to register to win that $50 things gift card to Amazon that we're going to give away here in about 10 minutes. So make sure you get registered. You have to register to win. So with that being said, we should jump into some announcements. We get some really cool announcements. You're going to hang out with us right for a little bit. Sure. Yeah. Right. Let's do it. Announcement time. Let's do it. OK, listen up, everybody. Turn up your volumes. Announcement. Attention, we have an announcement. Attention, we have an announcement. Yes, mom. Yeah. Mom, I'm doing a thing. We're not silly here at all. You're going to throw that very serious show. Very serious. I'm sorry. This is a fun. And run these back there. Nice. The first announcements we have, we have some big birthdays. We probably had a lot of birthdays in the community over the weekend, but we had a couple of them that stand out that that we knew about. We'll say that the first one, boom, being Krusty. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Krusty. Happy birthday. This was a model that was thrown out there. This was a model that was thrown out there for everyone to print the Tiki Cat. And I believe was this right? Yeah, and this phenomenal model. This one is in 300 percent in in marble PLA, the one I did. But so it's quite large. And my 14 month old absolutely fell in love with this thing. I have no idea why he just loves it. You want it's hilarious. But yeah, so happy birthday. That's how it came out. Nice. What did you run that on, printer? Was that on the smart? Yep, that was the the CR 10 smart behind me. That is a stock Prusa Slicer CR 6 SE. The only thing I modified was the bed size to make it work with the smart. And I didn't change anything else. So the profile is not tuned and the machine is not tuned. I just ran it to do test prints for a video that's coming up. So not a bad result for the only thing I had was a little bit of bridging issue right under the nose. I didn't use any supports. So I just let it fly with no supports and it did pretty good. But happy birthday, Krusty. You know, I hope you had a great day. I know a bunch of people tagged you. So happy birthday. And then Saturday, but man, we had his birthday. So we did this one. This was a fun print as well. Funny story when I was learning how to use my I'm still learning. But as I'm learning to use my palette, that palette to S. I used all of the extra filament I have acquired through the time I was learning and I printed the top and bottom ones trying to figure out different ways I could print it and stuff like that. So it was all sorts of crazy colors everywhere. And then for the full one, I used that full immense copper silk. That's what I use on beautiful. I love the sheen on that, but more importantly, we'll go ahead. I was just going to ask, is it bug man or is it pronounced bugman? I never know. Yeah, we may never know. Yeah, he's in the UK. So he's asleep right now. Yeah, maybe. Well, hopefully they'll correct us in the chat. And if it is, well, either way, happy birthday. Lance Bugman. No, I have no idea. But prolific designer member of the community, Bugman has created all sorts of awesome stuff. We've shown off things that he has both made and made modeled and made himself. So we love seeing bug man stuff. Happy birthday, happy birthday, Bugman. It's it's something it's bug something. We may not know because we don't speak bug. I'm not. You know, I just don't know. Speak for yourself. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Yeah. What do we got next? Let's see. Oh, man, the next one kills me. Next week is Pooch's last episode with us. And then it'll be. Booze, I got booed. No, it was a no. It's true. That's the prize. No. Yeah, it's. Oh, no. Well, you rather. What was that? Would you rather be a pause? Like. No, just just sign of acknowledgment describes. Just. No, it's so the big finale episode. Very special. We announced it last week and it'll be episode 65 for us. So stay tuned for that one. It'll be a fun one. I mean, maybe we'll go through memory, memory road or lane or however you say it, memory lane, right? You never know what Gary will come up with. It really does. Just you really don't. But yeah. And then don't forget. So starting in August, the first two weeks of August, we have Angus from Makers News. He is going to be the host, the guest host on the show. So he'll be around for the first two weeks of August. The third week will be Devin for Make Anything. I believe the fourth week will be Chris from Percy Fabrications, I believe I have to double check the calendar on that. And then or Andrew Sink, I'm sorry. And then Chris from Percy Fabrication. So we have an awesome August plans. Good lineup you got there. I love it. We have to tune in and see how it goes. Nah, I'm like a size 10 and a half. They're not that big. Tell that to Emily for printing the TPU on hers. That's a pretty big shoe. Oh man, TPU shoes. You know they have. I heard that somebody, and I feel like Joel did this at some point, but there is an EVA foam printable foam that somebody does as an exotic. And I don't know how well, but I feel like I saw it a while ago, like a year ago, maybe plus. But maybe you can actually print some actual crocs or your crokey, crokey, crokey, lovekey. Oh god. Who knows? I love it. But that could be a fun material to work with for something like that, right? Yeah, no, yeah. Just having some padding in some key places. Yeah, I have to look into that. It's pretty cool. If you print your crokeys, I don't even know what to call them about. Anyways, you're in TPU. The things that held your glasses on? Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it wouldn't be so pokey when you walked if it was in TPU or something. Maybe. Yeah, I know it. It's kind of not the most comfortable of things. That is so good. Ankle biter. Ankle biter. I love it. Now they're giving us a hard time in the chat now about who has the better hair and do the hair flings and man. We were actually talking about that before the show. We were like, man, I should run and get a purple shirt. So we could tell the hair is like almost, that's it's hair. That's so good. But hey, the 16th of August, don't forget also to stay tuned. We have mixed media girls going to be with us. If you haven't checked out her stuff on YouTube and all of the things, she does like acrylic pouring and does all sorts of crazy paints, like painting with acrylics. And we're going to do one live on the show. That's sweet. It's going to be crazy. I am the least artistic person ever. So I probably going to have it everywhere. And it might look just like a black canvas when we're done. I don't know what is going to happen. I draw stick people. That's what I do. So we're going to see there. Last chance, if you have not registered to win the $50 gift card, this is it. Looks like we have about 81 people in there. So if you're watching and you have not registered, use that link. So before we get rolling any further, do you have a rant for us this week, Pooch? I got a rant. And this one's not a recycled rant like it was last week. I forgot. I forgot that actually like kind of re-semi-recycled my rant from last week because I didn't cross it off my list. But this one's new. All right, let's do it. Ah! Who's rant? This week, I want to talk about junk mail. I hate junk mail. And we've started living in this world right where, and I'm not talking about email junk. Like I'm not talking about spam. I'm talking about the physical snail mail crap that shows up in your mailbox every week. Okay? So we've gotten so accustomed to, oh just unsubscribe, just unsubscribe. But there is no good way to unsubscribe it's an actual physical junk mail and it is totally wasteful. And nobody wants like, I don't need the penny quarter mailer thing and all that. It's absolutely frustrating. Now, I know some of you in the chat are gonna say, oh, but there's services that you can get that'll do that. Yeah, been there, done that. It does work to an extent. It doesn't get it all, but it kind of brings it down. But then when you stop paying for it or you get through the demo thing, it all comes flooding back again because why are US Postal Service needs that revenue to exist? So it's another fantastic backwards way to fund something that probably shouldn't keep perpetuating its existence on something that nobody really wants. I literally loathe going to the mailbox. Like there is nobody mails me, say for maybe my aunt that still mails me like a $5 birthday card. I don't get anything in the mail. I do paperless everything under that. Is this just me or do you guys experience the same thing? Like it's insane. I have a tiny mailbox and it's always stuff full of like this ridiculous stuff. What do you think, Emily? Do you get a bunch of junk mail? Well, you know, we just moved into where we're at now. So we get a lot of other- Don't tell them your address. Oh, I don't plan on it now. So we get a lot of other people's mail that used to live here. So we're kind of in- And then you save it? It's like, what do you do? I've got the point where it's like, he hasn't lived here in 10 years. I'm recycling this. I know, yeah. So we're, as far as junk mail goes, it's like mail that's junk to us, but not junk to other people. And so we're just kind of like- Return to the sender, throw it back in the mail. Yeah, really. And it's a multi-way me because it's like, and then it fills up my recycle bin, which is already full of all my Amazon Cardboard and all this other stuff. And I don't need more things to throw in there. And then here's another little, I'm gonna go down the rabbit hole, Jim. I'm going down. We'll talk about yours in a second, but it's like, it's like, okay, so you got all this junk mail and then you got the sneaky mailers, right? You know what I'm talking about? Where it's like, oh, I getting clever. I'm gonna do my marketing. I'm gonna hand write on this envelope. I'm gonna put a little sticky note in there with a little personal note to make it look like somebody's writing you a note, but then really you open it up and it's like, hey, I'll inspect your your AC system for $75 or whatever. And I'm like, come on, man. Like, I don't want to be fooled into thinking this is an actual letter. And then find it like that, that turns me off even more. That's not gonna make me call you. It's gonna make me call you less. Like if I was ever gonna call anybody from anything I got in the mail, what do you think, Jim? I think I get more email than junk mail in my mailbox myself, like garbage emails. Or I just want to let you know, I got a call today. It turns out my car extended warranty ran out. I already heard it coming out of your mouth before it did. I already heard it. So it's funny because they called my office phone, and we're in a hospital. How do you get this number in a hospital for one? And like, you're extended warranty. It's like, no, I'm pretty sure it didn't. I mean, yeah. At least in the digital realm, that's all you can unsubscribe. You can block phone numbers. You can text stop. I feel like I've made progress in my digital world, but in the paper world in my mail, I just don't want physical mail. Stop mailing things to me. Who does that? I mean, that's like using checks to pay for something. Paper? So, hey, real quick, before we do that. Uh-oh, Venmo me, we don't need checks anymore. There's the torture toaster. That's a good one. This is the Hot Makes Torture Toaster at like 200, I don't even remember what we took. It's a big one. Anyways, so Spandt over at Clark Spring made this for us for the show and throw it out there. It's got tolerance tests in there. It has overhang tests in there. Obviously, it has the gears that turn if I could actually turn them, there we go. And then the piece of resistance is this. And apparently on TikTok, if you have a picture of it doing this, and it says torture toaster, you get 800,000 views. That's all I know. Guaranteed, guaranteed. I mean, apparently because people were freaking out. Yeah, I had no idea. We are not spying on you, we guarantee you 800,000 views. Yeah, apparently that's what happens because that's what happened. And it's like, people were so mad, where's the torture, where's the toaster? I mean, it is a toaster. I was like, actual torture, this is crap. It's a regular toaster. Yeah, if you wanna read some funny and mean comments, go to that video on my TikTok page because there are a bunch of them. It's actually quite hilarious. But there's one guy, i3D print, there's no way a 3D printer prints this in one piece without parts. I'm like, no, there is a way, I showed you. You look different than our noob. I showed you, pulling it off the bed in the video. Like, this is happening pretty good. It's very noob, it was Jim. Why are you faking your prints like that, man? People are just, there's no way. But you are faking this. I love it. Well, it's time for a giveaway. I don't wanna, I promised Emily an hour and I don't wanna keep her too long. Just here. I love it. Emily, as our guest, get to spin the wheel. It's a very big honor. I'm sure you're feeling the honor. So what Jim's doing right now as we speak is he's populating our Wheel of Winners here sponsored by Thangs 3D. Thank you to Thangs. We've been doing this $50 Amazon gift card giveaway for like forever now. They just throw gift cards at us like it's nothing and then people win and it's amazing. But you, as our guest, have a very important job and that is to spin the wheel. And I'm gonna coach you through that right now. Are you ready? All right, I am, I think, I guess. Do it. Okay, it's really not that hard. The hardest part of it is that we are mirrored, right? And so what you're gonna do is you're gonna reach probably your left hand into the screen here as if you were grabbing all of the wheel. Okay, but you gotta go a little further because the wheel's further away. Oh, what are you getting? Two hands? Two hands? You're in there. Now see at the count of three, when Jim's gonna count you down just so you have an idea of like when the wheel's gonna spin, you're gonna want, your reflex is gonna wanna go down. For some reason, everybody thinks that you can spin down. Our wheel does not spin down. This is a clockwise wheel because we are in North America, Northern Hemisphere clockwise wheel spinning. So we go up. Big brain. Yeah, now if we were doing this down, you know in Australia town, it would have to, it would go the other way because science, right? Yes. Yeah, but you're an engineer and you knew that. So, what you're gonna do, hand in. Okay, Jim, you gotta populate the wheel, buddy. All right, here we go. Put some names on there for us so we can get some winner. Look at that. That wheel is laden with names. Lots of names. Lots of chance. Lots of people looking to win that $50 gift card thanks to things.com. Okay, Jim, give her the countdown. All right, here we go in three, two, one. Oh! Pretty good. Not bad, it's all right, it was her first spin. Who we got? Who's gonna win tonight? Hey, Robo, must be present to win. Make yourself known in the chat if you are here, if you want that $50 gift card thanks to things.com to end this on. I saw Vincent chatting earlier. Let's make sure he's still here. But yeah, $50, thank you so much again to things for sponsoring this stream. We really appreciate it. Emily, before we get going, and while we're waiting for Vincent, can you tell everybody one more time? Where can we find you? Yeah, I am on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube at Emily the Engineer. Right. Go check her out. We're looking forward to seeing all the awesome stuff we've got coming up. I'm not able to tag. Oh, there it is. There it is. He made it. He was lurking. He was lurking in the background. You made it just in time, Vinny. We were about to spin again. So excellent. Nice work, Emily, spinning the wheel. Thank you so much for spending time with us today. This was a lot of fun. We'll have to have you back again some point. That's right. And before we go one more time, because you're only here for one more week, one more time, tell everybody what HotMakes is, how you get on the show. Absolutely. This is HotMakes, the show. How to get on the show. Basically, if you have something you see out there in social media world, you just put the little pound sign, the little hashtag, the little sharp symbol, whatever you wanna call it, in front of the word, HotMakes, all one word. And that tells our highly sophisticated system to put it in the list of things for us to review as awesome and then put it on the show later and let the world see it. So you don't have to spend all your time scrolling throughout the day because there's so much awesome. You can't possibly see it all at once. So we do it for you. We have AI systems to help us, not named Jarvis, but we love everything you guys send us. Please keep doing it. It's made it just so rewarding for everyone. Right, Jim? Absolutely. We appreciate it. Again, next week, it'll be Pooch's last, but it'll be episode 65. So we're gonna make sure it's a great one for everybody. But Emily, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Hopefully you'll come back and you're welcome any time. Come out and hang out and talk to the community. Have a little fun. They love you. I mean, just watching the chat all day, people love what you're doing. So keep it up. We cannot wait to see the next suit. Thank you. I appreciate it. All right, everybody. Well, thank you so much for watching. We appreciate it. We will see you next week, 6 p.m. Central, 7 p.m. Emily Time and 4 p.m. Pooch Time. How about that? Is that good? That is good. All right, guys. Good night, everybody. See you later.
