Welcome everybody to the making awesome podcast. We're hanging out episode 255, right? Is that that good math? Probably good. Yeah. Yeah. It could be bad math. Could be good math. Don't know. Don't really care. It's life is what it is. Oh, and I'm apparently dropping pack and I'm dropping frames. Really? Already? Oh, no. It's it's my computer. Like, why are we angry about something? What are we angry about? I don't know. There's no reason for us to be angry, but we're apparently pretty angry. How bad is it coming through for you guys? It's good. It's going to record fine on our side. But for some reason, my computer is upset with the important thing is audio is the audio coming through clear because even though the image might be a bit stuttery, songs the audio comes to clear and you can hear was rant about random things. I think that's what really most people care about. Yeah. We'll get it sorted. It will
likely figure itself out one way or another. Yeah, I'm wearing literally a plain black t-shirt. This is one of the test shirts. I guess it's probably the right way to describe what this is. So this is one of our initial tester shirts when we were going through different brands of like shirts for, you know, whatever. But yeah, we're already talking about smurf, that kind of stuff, community events, why they matter, everything around those lines. So if you are watching, hanging out with us, make sure to leave a like, get subscribed. If you are listening back audio only, you're watching over on Spotify or over on Apple Podcast 1, rate is five. We always like that. But then two, please leave comments, comments
are always good. But if you're going to check out sponsors, links to all that are down below. If you're watching back live, you know, hey, there's chat, there's chat button you can use. So yeah, what's going on, dude? Well, obviously, smurf's next week. Yeah. And it's the weird lull, but also hype build up for going to an event. Right. And I'm really looking forward to it because this is the first time I'm not going to be tethered to a table. You are just looking about. Yeah, you're so excited. You're just dealing with us. Honestly, I'm really excited. Instead of being exhibitor, I'm going as press, so I can talk to people. And that's kind of why I always did it in the first place was I viewed smurf as celebrating the ED printing. Yeah. And one of the things that has always sucked was so many cool people
are there. And I just have to like wait to them to come to me because I'm on the table. And this time, I can go to them. And I can actually just not worry about all I need to go because somebody's now shown up. Right. Right. And that's the big thing because I've just seen a line saying, am I soft for others? Yeah, you're quiet for me. I literally have you turned up as much as I can. I'm just turning myself down. There we go. How does that sound better? How does that sound? I'll just push the mic further away from me. For some reason, I found my preamp impedance doubled. So, but okay, I'm just going to assume I've kinked a cable somewhere. But no, like I've always viewed smurf and other reprap festivals and similar ilk as the place to be to actually understand your industry. Yes. Don't go to like trade shows. Don't go to like the snake oil sales places. Oh god. Find the people who love it
and then talk to them because they know the esoteric. They know the eclectic. They know these random like, oh, if you buy this part from this very unique, never found before seller, you can double your performance. Yep. And it's the enthusiasm of everyone that goes that I want to talk to. I've always had to wait until after the show, like when people are packing down to walk around and nobody really wants to talk then because they want to go home. Yeah, they do. They do. They want to go home. Yeah, it's certainly if it's your first one, it's a great one to go to, especially if you're local or you can get a cheap flight somewhere in the EU or the UK to come up to Manchester. The hotel's pretty expensive, but Jacob has a you found a pretty affordable Airbnb. So I'm assuming Airbnb is probably still be had pretty cheap. You know, so I've looked on the like the main like hotel websites. It does seem like they've realized there's an event going on and they've doubled
the prices just for the night. Yeah, I think our stay at the mall drain, which is like the official hotel, we're flying in a little bit early. So it's different there, but it's under a hundred quid a night, except for Saturday and Sunday. Yep. But don't be like Doug last year and stay in what is effectively an opium den and end up needing to come hang out in our room because we're not going to let our friends stay in opium den. Unless that is their, you know, chosen vice and then I'm going to do everything that I can to get them off of heroin. Try to guarantee the door locks. Yeah, make sure you're door locked. If your door doesn't lock, doesn't matter how nice the room is, don't stay there. Yeah, but now I found this lovely Airbnb for basically 45 pounds a night. Yeah, and I'm well happy with that. Yep. I mean, I would be too. But yeah, we're excited. Hilariously, we're flying through Prague. So we have to go to Prague
first, instantly leave the Prague airport, go right back in, get on a flight to Manchester. You might have, well, grant that sounds like a lot of work. It kind of is, but it is way cheaper. It is almost $800 cheaper for the two of us to do that. And well, I guess that means I have to fly back through Prague on the way home. What a shame that's going to be. What an absolute travesty you have to fly through one of the prettiest cities that I've ever visited. And I've now got meetings set up while we're going to be in Prague. I don't think we're going to do a lot of filming. There are a couple of opportunities there. I am currently talking with Prussia about Prague Comic Con because it happens to be what we're going to be in Prague, at least one of the days. But you know, otherwise, we got meetings set up, so we'll be doing some business over there, but trying to have a bit of a, a slow down. So kind of weird, but it's not
a normal thing for me, because we were normally always working. But I have a feeling that when people from Prussia realize that we're going to be there, all of a sudden my calendar is going to get busy because it tends to. But I'm looking forward to it anyways. We'll be in Manchester, technically late Thursday. So be there all Friday, Saturday, Sunday, leave, Monday, afternoon. And I'm not telling you when I'm coming home, but I'm coming home at some point after that. Yep. But yeah, these events are fun for us. It is expensive. As some of you might have seen, we, we lost our sponsor. We will not be naming them, but we lost our hot sauce sponsor. So I do have the sauces. I ended up paying for them because there's just certain things that aren't worth it to me. And so I will be, I will be labeling them, covering them a blue tape, labeling them. So I know what's what so we can still use it. But unfortunately, we are still
searching for a title sponsor for the event now. I am trying to get hedonist aka hot ones to sponsor it. I think that'd be super cool if we could get like the name behind these interview style hot sauce challenges to be the one that goes for it. So we'll see. I have an email going out to them. So it'll be what it'll be. But yeah, MLV no luck yet. But hey, that's the way it is. Yeah, I guess Steve build says he'll be there. They have a bunch of people there. They're going to be doing a live bill of a printer. And I'm sure that want to probably get raffled off or something as they normally do. And it may be just maybe I'll be belting it. We'll see. We'll see. See if I can learn anything. Wait, what size belts are they? Do we know six probably? If there's six mil belts, I can't help, but if they are nine or 10 mil belts, I have some new
still can't be purchased. Generation three gates belts. And I could I would be happy to bring it with me to to bow up that printer with. I have a funny video with my car because the timing belt is made by gates too in my car. So yeah, Steve said can he post a link to the Voron to raffle? I mean, you can, Steve, but it happens to also be in the description of this video. People want to go check it out as well as heat in the hot seat. If you do want to check that out and donate to see me suffer, I guess. But yes, Steve, you're welcome to, but it is already in the description of this video because I did it when you asked and it's been in there ever since. Somebody's asking if they could only attend one day, which day to attend? I'd say Saturday. Every, yeah, always, always Saturday. Everyone's shattered on Sunday. And sometimes I'll go for probably doing. Yeah. Yeah, so they're up to over $7,500 earned for the Voron V2, but it's
serial zero, which is really cool, which means there's probably no way that we beat them, but my goal is to beat Voron. My goal is to beat Voron in the, it's always the fun, the thing that we do. It's like who can raise more money for the charity, but hey, it is part of the fun. It's part of the fun, but yeah, it's, it is a fun event. I don't, what's the weather look like other than raining? I assume. It's the UK. It might be raining though. It is starting to hit spring. So it might actually be quite nice. We had scary. I know all of Instagram started making memes on it. The sun. Do you see the sun? It was great. It hit 17 degrees. Jacob, it's 23 here right now. I don't care about your weird wet zones. And it's, and it's not a cloudy according to my,
according to my clock. It's partly cloudy and 23 Celsius here right now. It's warm. It's looking like 13 degrees on Saturday, 10 degrees on Sunday, but sun for all of it. Hey, I'll take it. That means I got to go get some MNS chalky milk while we're in town. And see, this is the fun problem of doing it, doing something like this. So we are, we are going to be accepting donations for the lucky dip. So the idea with that is there's a bowl full of pieces of paper and those pieces of paper correspond to an item. Those items, if you don't want hot sauce, you can remove as many hot sauces as you want, but you have to replace it with this lucky dip. The thing is, we don't know what's coming to it. So it can't be perishable and it can't be alcoholic. Those are the two rules. Otherwise, and it can't be shoostroming Olaf. No, I cannot be banned on a flight.
No, Olaf, you can't do it. Yeah, it can't be like offensive. If it's spicy, fine. We have a, we have a discord member who was sending two bottles of custom hot sauce that he just made with reliance 3d for the event. So we're going to definitely be the showing that off because if I don't get a hot sauce sponsor otherwise, I'm showing off the ones that community made because of it. It's funny that way. But yeah, you guys are welcome to bring stuff. It just can't be perishable and you were alcoholic and you can put it into the lucky dip. I'm bringing a bunch of generic American sweets and stuff like that that people from other countries will find really not all that tasty. So I'll take the win for that. Just got to go to the $1.25 tree and you know, spend 20 bucks or something. But you know, these events are fun. Like I last year, last year, I met Michelle,
aka reliance 3d reliance has like had this huge come up in this industry. He's now kind of known by creators. He makes this really cool lamp that you're going to see and he's been working on this insane marble run project. And I'm excited. He's been showing it off in the discord. He's streaming it almost every single day. I'm really excited for people to see it in person. I'm excited to see it in person too. No, Matt, why are you? No, Matt, you're in Prague. Go do Prague stuff. Go away. What are you doing here? Go go go to Oh, she house. Go to OMG. Go to the Ali Baba. Go to OMG. It's so I. So I have a story about Ali Baba Kabab that isn't from when we went. It's a new story. I have not been to Prague since. Okay. For some reason, the latest iOS update has put
Ali Baba Kabab on my favorite list for pinned restaurants. So every time I plug my phone in at a certain time of the day, it will recommend a driving route automatically to drive to Ali Baba Kabab. And how long is that driving route? I'm curious. One and a half days. Okay, not bad. I'd do that. It's like 29 30 hours. No, Matt walked 30,000 steps today. So he's resting his legs and it kick how I'll ride you. How do you know this that that he had a day with with Tommy today? I wasn't going to say it, but apparently it's now public that he had a day with with Tommy. But yeah, he got in late last night to Prague and hopefully you've enjoyed the city. It's one of it's been one of our favorite cities traveled to and you tweeted it. Oh, well, okay. I didn't. I haven't been on Twitter most the morning. I'm sorry. Um, yeah. Nepo said I wish she could be able to attend smirk. I
wish you could too. It's always good seeing you. I'm sorry. It's about sucks. Yeah. That is a bummer. She she was awesome in at Formnex just. It was like me a lie. She fed me when I forgot to eat with enough sugar that I didn't crash and burn. And you took a lot of sugar home too. That's good. I did take a lot of sugar. Oh my god. I Percy had a birthday yesterday just for reference. So I can say this just because I got a little child. She's now six. That's the little child that came on the other time. It's been so easy to bribe her with those sweets. So I'm like, oh, look, sweetie. And she's like, I can't see them in the shops. I'm like, you're damn right. You can't. They're special. So I could bribe us so well with them. And it made life so good. Well, I've just ran out. I'm like, uh, I have to find something else to bribe the child with. I should have I should have been. Oh,
no, I, I, I, I couldn't. The netbo has like a six kilo box of haribo for me, but getting them shipped to the US has been a complicated endeavor. And I think we've just kind of walked away from it right now. Because we don't really know what else to do. But for those that have seen us at the rep rep festivals, know that we normally use monopods because they're way easier to move around than tripod. Sometimes we'll use tripod, but a lot of times, oh, it's four kilos. Okay. Um, I have a new one. I bought the iFootage Cobra 3. They really should be sponsoring this segment, but whatever, the thing that I find with carbon fiber, anything is that it has no mounting points on it. It only has the mounting point for your camera. And unless you're going to mount all your other gear to your camera, which we don't like to do, you have to have a part for it. Enter custom part that Grant's been working on. Okay. This one's PLA. I'll be doing one out of ABS on the HD 90 later today. We upgraded our, uh, our magic arm. For a long time, I've used really cheap, like $10
magic arms. This one's 55 bucks, still kind of cheap by the magic arm spec, but it has, uh, removable ends on them. So quick release. But they use the RE style adapters. So you can take those off, but I'm like, I've always wanted it. So when you put it on, now it doesn't rotate, right? It can't rotate around. So I redesigned the part, and I'll show you guys here. I redesigned the part so that I should have done another color other than black, but you can see it can handle the Ari holes vertical or horizontal. So, um, prototype that PLA took me, took me two tries. I got it right on the second try to get everything right. So now I can run it in ABS. I was going to do it in Altem, because that was just funny. No, but if you want it to look like Altem, but not be Altem, look at the like PC, TG in the natural color, because it's the same gold. So here's the problem.
I have to use heat set inserts. My solder, I can't get hot enough to get to the like melting point of Altem. So I couldn't use it. I'm like, wait a minute. I can't do that because it won't work. It physically won't work with Altem. So we're going to either use ABS or I have some open nylon for a previous product. So I might just use that. It's pure PL12. I wouldn't use nylon. Not with something that has a magica. I'm attached to it because nylon, while it's very robust, the elongation factor of it is enough that you will get quite significant wibble. Okay, even when it's like eight walls thick, still. Yes, you think? Yeah. Yeah. Because it's that initial stretch factor before you start getting the stress and strain kicking in. That's fair. You having something slightly harder like an ABS or like a pet would go a long way. We've traditionally done it at a PETG and it works perfectly fine to be clear. I'm literally playing
the smoke. And if you got them trick and I've got an HT90 and it's Q is currently empty. I would say ASI. ASI would work. David Connorshover and a few others are saying using you know, model and threads or tap it. Nope. I do not trust plastic threads. I will not trust plastic threads. Absolutely not. Not to like our our field monitor is an Atomos Ninja V. And that is a five to six hundred dollar screen that records to SSDs and all that. I'm not risking that. Just to you know, play the model in the threads game. Absolutely not not worth it. We do undersize the whole deliberately. So the heat sets really dig in. But I also use specific heat set insert. I use screw in inserts for woodworking. And you just torch the shit out of them and screw them in. And they work really. It works great because they they just they do not pull out right there. Your part will fail before
that heat set, which is not a heat set, but we're using it as a heat set fails. The only bummer that I have with them is that they're made to be screwed in with an Allen key. So the threads start like two millimeters deep into the part. But we did recently try using normal heat sets and it worked perfectly fine. So I might have one or two of the really strong ones, but I'm just going to use normal heat sets for everything else. But with all that being said, we will be releasing this file to people that are in our discord. So the $10 here and higher. Join the links below YouTube YouTube channel members and all that. So if you happen to be a photographer and you want access to parts like this that are fully custom design and you might say, but grant how the heck do I make sure that this part doesn't break my monopod? Well, on the inside, you put raw TPU. You put raw TPU is a gasket material and it squishes against the raw TPU. So it it evens out the clamping force across the entire part. Yeah, I'm proud of myself for that one.
And to be clear, I learned this from somebody in our discord, Ben in phase industries, IPI and D3D on Aussie, who taught me how to model in supports. So this has even modeled supports. So it prints completely support free. I've got to say I've started doing model in support a lot more recently. He taught me how to do it. And I won't do it any other way. But the thing I love about this, both the top and the bottom. Oh, that was satisfying. That was still way too satisfying. That gave me the same vibe as like ejecting a DS cartridge and eating it across the room. Right. So I can pull the here's the rest of it. I can if I do this comes apart completely. And it's just it's a push down. Jacob, it gets even better. Okay. See that? Yeah. Right. It's a foot pedal. And now that lets you rotate it. And it's it's a
locking thing. So you hit it again. It'll pop back up. Oh, that's so good. It is an expensive monopod. They're $200. I bought it used as as you do. And I paid a lot less than $200 for it. I think I paid like 130 to the door. And 130, I'm very happy. That price. So there. This is the thing I've been working on. That's good. That's really good. The other thing, Jacob, here, if you want to get real jealous, where's the name on that? Let's see if you recognize that name. Why see onion? Just google the company and just look at how much these things cost. How much is a YC onion monopod cost, Jacob? That's 500 quid. That's $400. I paid 85
for this one because it's broken. Screw you. It's broken. That's such a good price. So this is the quick release for it. When you go up, everything should get loose. If you notice, things don't get loose. So I reached out to the company. They set me how to take it apart. So I got to take it apart and service it. This is however aluminum. So this will not be a flight monopod. It is way too heavy for us to fly with. So it will likely be just a, you know, that monopod weighs like three kilos, where our normal monopods weigh like two or less, because they're made out of carbon. But yeah, for photography stuff and videography, you have to be very, very, uh, yeah. And yes, it is. So, uh, J. E. Palmer idiots, have you made not printed? Yes, it is straight off the spool. Straight off the spool, TPU. This is from a brand that hasn't existed
in over a decade. Wait, wait, wait, show me that. I have one of those exactly. It's from Canada. I think it's, uh, I bought it from there. Fox filaments, I think. Yeah. They were selling it real cheap. And this is literally there. The last of my black that I have from this. And I literally, I own it because it's so old. It's so damp. Uh, I just use it for gaskets, basically. It's so soft and stretchy, though. Yeah. I like it was supposed to be like a 92-shore A. It is not. So we had to have Mitch from Polar Filament back on to talk about derometers and how it's all a lie. Right. Derometer. So when you're buying a 95 A TPU off of like Amazon, the chances of it being actually 95 A are stupid. Almost zero. Right. You're normally somewhere either above 100. So you go into like technically, you know, you go into the D range,
or you're a lot softer than you think. And it's kind of a problem when you're printing stuff that has to be very specific. So like they sell specific, like guaranteed certified, whatever you want to call it, TPUs. They have a 60 D, which I love. In fact, I use every single day. I use it as a, it's a mouse riser for my track ball mouse that I use. Absolutely love that orange 60 D TPU works really well. Super nice. But they also have some 95. They've done 85. I think they've done 75 A as well. But yeah, only like I understand that it's way cheaper to buy on Amazon, but there becomes a certain point, you know. Yeah, you have to start questioning like why was it what's it use case for how effective is it going to be in its job? Because sometimes you don't actually care. As long as it works, it works. And then other times,
you kind of want them to be working. Yeah, like sometimes you need the certification. You need that. I need it to be this soft because I know it works when it's this soft. This was the old design of it where it was just just used heat sets with no flats on them. This works. And it's on all of our other monopods. But I'm going to be changing it out to this style. Yeah, I am I'm excited. So I'm a pair. And now I got to go see Nomad's tweet. Mad Max is going to Polar tomorrow at noon. I wish I live near polar filament. I really do. Or printed solid for that matter, any like USA based filament manufacturer, because then I could use their shelves as my inventory. And that would make my life significantly easier at the end of the day, because bro, holding as much inventory as we need to right now, kind of sucks. Kind of really sucks.
So not much I can do about it, but you know, I'm checking. I'm checking Anthony's tweet right now to see what it looked like. Ah, he had a unique experience going to, uh, uh, yep, yep, just go Oh, yep, yeah, huh, yep. Okay. Nice. Yeah, that's the thing. I don't know if it's the same thing in America as what it is in Prague, but they are very, um, sex positive. We'll go with it in that city. Don't go to a place looking for a massage that says it's a tantric massage place. It is exactly what you think it is. It is not. Look, you will be definitely getting a massage. It's just a full body massage. Yeah. Inside and out. I mean, if that's your kind of thing, um, yeah, Thomas O's,
Thomas zero said I, I hear, I heard Micro Center was the one thing to live near to. Micro Center's good. Um, I believe their house brand is now overture AKA, uh, polymaker. Neither one of them will confirm or deny it. So obviously it's real. Um, Polar, I would love to see getting sold in Micro Center as well. But yeah, I don't have any of those close to me. And I don't have the space, the money nor the give a damn to build my own filament lines. I do not care. That is, it is not something that I want to do. I would much rather have a company that knows how to do it. Um, you know, and interestingly, just to stay on the, the filament topic real quick, you find a lot of cool filament when you're at these shows, right? So cookie cat normally goes, and if you don't know cookie cat, they have some amazing colors, colors that nobody else has, right? Because like, okay, in orange is an orange is an orange, right? But they, they go the extra
step on their colors. And I really, really like their colors. Their stuff is a little pricey. It's like $25, $26 a kilo, uh, especially for it not being made in America. But for colors, you can't get anywhere else. They heavily support make good. Do you know, make good? I don't think you do. I was going to say yes, but now I don't. They're the printed wheelchairs for children. I do. Yes, I do. So they heavily support make good, which absolutely love. And I know the owners of cookie cat very well. They're awesome. Great people. And I hang out with them outside of the shows, like when they're in town. And they've also met tea paint, which is just one of the fun things in this industry. Tea paint got in a 3D printing. They happen to be in the same area. They worked out a meet and greet with tea paint and dumb palpry tea printing. I'm like, to, to imagine that's a way of sentence to say, like that's your
story arc in this industry. You're like, oh, yeah, we started a film company and then we met tea paint who overnight became the most popular 3D printing content creator. Because he's just the, he's one of the most popular content creators on the planet. No matter what he gets into, he's the most popular in that brand constantly. Pro tip for everyone. Drop doing 3D printing. Just become a celebrity. Then do 3D printing. That's how you become a successful 3D printing content creator. He doesn't know who tea paint is. MLV. I mean, you live in Slovakia. So it kind of is what it is. Uh, you're not, how do you all not know who to, who tea paint is? This is, am I that old? No, no, you're not. I'm not, I'm not, I'm a millennial, but I'm not that old yet. I'm 36. But all right, tea pain. How none of you know who tea paint is? Okay, Glenn's here.
Glenn, by the way, you're partially sponsoring this show. You just don't know it yet. Don't worry about it. Someone from the EU or the UK, when we, we, we, we sent them 3D prima filament. You just don't know that we've been doing it, I think. Maybe you do. Maybe you don't. But we've been doing it. You really need to formalize that. We're on to which according to K2 Kevin. And that makes sense because no matter what he does, he's the number one. Nappy boy automotive, uh, is his car thing. He just got a conning seg Yesco. Beautiful car. It wasn't a regera. Don't care. It's an egg. And that's all that matters. Yeah. Madcat is 60 and he knows who tea pain is. Zach's man, tea pain is an American singer, rapper producer. No popularizing auto tune in modern hip hop and R&V with hits like buy you a drink and collaborations artists from across genres. So yeah, tea pain, who also has a phenomenal singing voice off auto tune, but is probably the, the godfather of popularizing auto tune in music.
And as K2 said, he is the number one 3D printing streamer on Twitch. He's also the number one maker streamer on Twitch. I believe he's one of the top just chatting streamers on Twitch because again, he brings in, he brings in a huge audience. Um, we were helping him with 3D scanning for a little bit. We never met in person. Yeah. I'm like, dude, I would love to come up and help you in person. He's like, no, I just, I want to learn how to do it myself. I don't want people to teach me. And do you know how much respect that has in it? Because like, I'm willing to teach anybody. Right. And I, we do house calls all the time. But someone saying, no, I want to learn the hard way rather than having you show me the easy way to do it. The amount of respect that that puts you off that. But even further, you're someone whose time has a legitimately high value. Right. The amount of money the man
brings in a year, you look at what his pay per hour is. It's thousands of dollars an hour. Okay. For him to say, I'd rather do it the hard way. shows you that he's not just doing it for the views. He's doing it because he legitimately wants to do it. And that's freaking huge to me. Right. And so whenever he streams, I try to show up if he's, you know, dealing with some different things, I try to help him out where I can. I know, K2 and Pez Liz are always in there. Yeah. I really, I appreciate that because like, we've worked with celebrities before. Right. Our biggest celebrity would be, would be technically it's the Shakur family, so two pox family. But the living would be Snoop Dogg. Okay. Snoop was very business, right. Wanted to get the scan. One of the parts didn't care how it was done. Didn't care about
the technology, so see with it. He was here to get something done. And T-Pain, I was kind of expecting to be similar. Absolutely not. Dude wants to learn about it. And that is my favorite part. That he's not just, he's not just posing. Right. And that this is why this industry is awesome. Because there are people whose time the man has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own time learning this and finds it fun. And that's how you know this industry is awesome. Because there are people who have value in their time worth way more than any of us can fathom who legitimately say, I really enjoy this and I want to learn more about it. That to me, it makes things like this special. It also shows just like a level of respect for the craft that a lot of people try to skip. Everyone's like, I want to become a good artist. So they just
pretend they were good artists. They don't realize to respect art, you need to suck at art. Yeah. You need to be bad in order to get good. And when somebody comes to me and being like, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm going to learn and I'm not going to shy away from ruining things. Yeah. Like I don't expect to be perfect first time. Anyone who comes to me of that attitude, you already have my attention with respect and I will go so far to make sure that you get the best experience you can because you're the right person for that industry. You're the right one to talk to. You would be fun to be like them saying something like, I've noticed this problem and I'm struggling to figure it out. I'm like, here's this esoteric knowledge so you can learn it. It's what I love. It's also why I love Smith because you get a room full of people like that. Adrian Boyer is doing a talk at smurf. Okay. Adrian F.ing Boyer is going to be at smurf. And if you are watching and saying, I like 3D printing and you don't know who he is,
you better get yourself some education. He is the OG of 3D printing. One of the godfathers of rap rap, one of the original founders of rap rap and he's going to be there doing a talk and you have an opportunity to listen to someone who has lived and breathed open source since this thing existed. Yep. I will be at that talk. I want to listen to it. I think I'm straight. I think they have me doing the the the hot seat. But if you're going to be here. Can we get him on the hot seat? I was going to say that's your new goal. Your new goal is as soon as this talk is done. Say Adrian, come on. Let's sit down. We have some food for you. I don't eat I don't I I will pay so that he doesn't have to eat the hot sauce. He doesn't want it and you can get out of doing the I just want to talk to him. It is a I have spoken with him one-on-one but never on camera. It is my dream in this industry to capture the the OGs, right? We had the opportunity before Sanjay
passed. We were the last people to ever interview it, right? And I still hold that interview even though I was not on my my top game for it as the best interview we've ever done. Yeah, right? And I want to add on to that. I want to make more and be able to solidify the history of these people forever. Because yes, this man has 3D printers in museums. It's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. And like I I've talked with Adrian for years but when the Google Plus Groups closed, a lot of that community just vanished and he was one of them that I never really heard from again. It's just it is amazing to see that he's coming out again to Manchester to make you know to do talks on it to interact with the community. It's awesome. And I believe we have
an a bug dyno coming out as well to the event. Really? Yeah. Let me very call it me impressed. I'm almost positive, but I can I can pull it for sure. Yes, he will be there. Andrew all shorn. He is an a mug dyno has been on the board of directors for a mug before he will be there. I am heavily expecting to get him and he in the hot seat to be able to talk about the blending of the consumer grade 3D printing and industrial grade additive manufacturing together and what that's been like for him. I am so excited for these events because you will have people that have more knowledge in this. They've forgotten more about this industry than you will ever learn walking around like they're just a regular person in the room and you just don't know it. You just don't know it. It's amazing. It was like right before four next. I was up in Gainesville at the Cade Museum for the Cade prize. I'm a judge every year
we you know we support the Cade Museum. I had no idea the co-founder of NVIDIA was there not Jensen Huang the one everybody knows the other one Chris. Chris was there. He did he gave a keynote and as soon as everyone realized who he was there was a line to talk with him. Chris has agreed to come on the show but we just have to figure out a time and place that works for him. Okay but it now does explain who drove the 430 Scooter Ria the Ferrari 430 Scooter Ria to the event. Yeah. I'm like who's got a 430 scud that's just parking it outside like every other car and then it's like oh yeah co-founder and video makes perfect sense. It could have been somebody else but whoever drove that that that 430 scud they drove it very well you can see there was there were some rubber on the back of back fender wells I'm like this is a trailer queen this isn't a garage queen this is a proper proper driven car. All right you know what we should do before we bring
them on so I've had an Ajax or in a microprocessor for a while so it's a 40-tower flop 60 watts like insane machine with 64 gigs of VRAM available to it. It's supposed to be like AI inference so the actual board inside here you can take the board out and put it into a car and you can power like all the LiDAR scanners of the car. It can run 12 4K 60 FPS cameras and 24 1080p cameras at the same time. It's a lot of compute. It turns out it's just running Linux so I can run a 3D printing operating system on it and I want to see what happens when you just plug in the entire power grid worth of compute into a 3D printer and see how far we can push it. So you could go the level of what Mark Forge does with their X7 and above they have
blacksmith so they use cameras to do triangulated based scanning of the layers as they're printing to dynamically adjust extrusion and flow rate so that your part is dead nuts perfect. Yeah it is a one of the ideas was like micro slam which is similar instead of it using AI it's you use the different positions of the cameras and you single pass the image to the cameras and then you can like determine tolerance control based off of that and I'm just like oh I kind of like the idea that you can have a digital double being made at the exact same time it's printed so you can have full tolerance scanning one day you'll meet my brother one day one day I want him to wear your clothes after I've met you like you leave the room you change clothes of him he comes back in and I still think it's you no you'll know he's clean shaving just I will not question why in front
of me why you're talking to me you'll just shave off your beard and then leave so we have talked having him come over and sit here and do a talk and see how long it takes people to realize it's not me but I feel like it would be pretty fast I don't know so I did just upload the ht90 unboxing video to the to the editing PC and he's in that he's in that entire video so he's there the entire time so that'll be a good gauge to see us together because it's not often the people get to see us together on camera layers with lily said garage queen question mark that is someone who buys a very nice car and leaves it in their garage it the car is the queen of the garage it's the garage queen beard face filters for the brother maybe or I can do the bearded printer printed beard and start wearing that and then I can put that on him could do that I don't know I care not to get
into the ways that we could trick people we thought about it for April fools in April fools video is April is April first going to be on now it's a Wednesday damn oh um also happy birthday to my aunt to birthday today Aunt Lauren happy birthday I will be calling her when the stream is over so there will be a slight delay in me getting to the after stream hangout uh because I'll be calling my aunt because family first um oh yeah the other thing that we're bringing I finally got myself some nice suction cup mounts oh so this one pissed me off pissed me off it's from you Lanzi this was permanently affixed so it makes packing it really difficult so I found there was a grub screw pulled the grub screw out it was glued in heavily and nothing a blowtorch can't fix about that melted the glue off of it
and now I've got a separate piece but I wanted to tap this so it's quarter 20 as well but there's quarter 20 all around it so I will have a much nicer uh mount now and I do I I will be using it a threading die to make this quarter 20 so this magic arm is not completely used this is actually a decent magic arm um my auntie and belle heir she will be a guest at some point on this podcast that will likely be a podcast that's just a me show I think oh so my aunt my aunt we were going to do a series with her called uh exploding the glass ceiling so there there's this I mean it isn't you aren't as a badass she is she's like you aren't as a certified badass I certified badass she retired as the vice chancellor of Vanderbilt University yes I know Jonathan I just said it's her birthday today she retired as the vice chancellor of Vanderbilt University second
in command at Vanderbilt University so yeah and and like she grew up on like government assistance so you want to talk about exploding a glass ceiling she's done it and she'll be I mean the amount of I'm getting goosebumps talking about her because she is so inspiring to anybody but especially especially young women that are afraid they're never going to get to their potential because the system keeps them down she is the example of saying no I refuse and I can do better um yeah and tires man my brother says that's not even the craziest thing she did it's true she's given commencement speech she's given interviews on airplanes before because when people figure out who she is and they learned about her history they'll do interviews with her um that's so cool so my brother said one of
my favorite quotes from hers I know that I had to be twice as smart as anyone else in the room to make sure I could get the job she was that's a powerful line yeah it is and she she was doing hardcore social engineering before we really understood what it was and so if you guys want to see that kind of stuff leave a like get subscribed because I she she's down here so she she's a snowbird she has a condo down here in uh in St. Petersburg Florida but she has a place in Tennessee and then she has a new place in Boston so I will go in person and interview her and I think that would be a really really fun one and that's where I don't know if I told you I have the switcher for the Atomos Ninja now so I can take up to four HDMI feeds in and switch them really that's really good yep yep and it'll output HDMI or USB it's only so it'll take in up to 4k but it only outputs 1080 60
fine and it only records 1080 60 then less fine but you can do four individual 1080 60 streams on it ah not bad so I will bring that with me I don't know if we're going to use it for smurf but it's really really small and it screws into the back of the Atomos Ninja it's a really really cool piece I mean it means we could maybe have multiple camera angles and then you can like switch between the camera angles like an OBS window so like when one of the like when the person is talking they can I do it on yeah you just do it in the thing yeah you do on the thing yeah I don't know we'll figure it out but yeah do I know why that is do you know why that is right I don't know what John's going out about that but yeah I am excited to interview her it is her birthday today she's got friends in from out of town so they're going to be doing things I didn't want to call her too early but yeah I wish my wish my honor happy birthday in the chat or something and hey leave a like if that's your
thing um she loves 3d printing but she's like I love what it's capable of but she's like I don't know if I will ever fully understand it she's like it's it's not my industry anyways um but she's like the amount of things that you've made that you can do it's it's incredible so it's funny glue gun go burr but more than just that right you when you look at so Vanderbilt University um Vanderbilt University is one of the top medical schools in the nation so you know she looks at it from what could it do on a medical side right yeah with 3d printing implants 3d printing um you know the big thing we see 3d printing now is hip joints knees and elbows right so they're titanium 3d printed they'll do a specific cut of the bone so it's minimal hardware to attach it and
because ti64 titanium well they'll also give it like a micro texture so in the interface they can grow into each other so there's like very low chance of rejection and damage over time that works better in younger patients than older patients but yes well you have to give it time to grow into each other and some people just don't have that time like me I will just be damaging it constantly don't give it a chance to heal just keep breaking it their additive is really cool when you look oh god I just saw the joke he said but why not ti64 plus it's a calculator joke I hate that that's a terrible joke that's a terrible joke but I am actually got flashbacks to university yeah I got flashbacks of looking at hundred dollar calculators that are still a hundred dollars to this day no they've gone up they've definitely gone up when I was doing my like a level physics the calculators were 160 quid each I'm upset I'll never recover this is why I didn't
take statistics when I was in university I mid I dodged the module I took extra modules to dodge that module because no way in hell am I buying a mandatory calculator when a computer can do the same thing Pierce Prince 3d said I appreciate the show keep me entertained while I start part two of the h2d vortex upgrade so Pierce Prince 3d is in our discord I am hoping that he'll be streaming some of it in the discord or on youtuber whatever later because I want to see what it takes to do this upgrade I'm really curious because that's that's that's always been our big question with vortex on bamboo is how difficult is that upgrade so if you have any thoughts Pierce 3d Pierce Prince 3d let me know because I'd love to know but bamboo is actually raffling off a h2c really yep h2c is going core one L is going there might even be an excel in there I know there's
Voron stuff that's in there they asked me but I'm like I don't really know what I could give like what could I raffle off you know hd90 abs that's mine go away if you start raffling that off I'm just throwing tickets at it I am waiting for the confirmation but if everything goes to plan I just paid off the machine this past week really in a bit over a month good machines pay themselves off fast fast impressive I am waiting for the official purchase order to come through okay but it's I mean I am normally jaded I don't class as a win until the money hits the account well what they've requested so far I think I think even if they only do half of what they're asking for I think it'll still hit that mark so yeah I was surprised I will run the numbers 100
percent but I think we did it we'll see k2 says it looks like a three to four hour upgrade not for everybody for the vortex that's not that bad actually three to four hours is pretty good that seems kind of reasonable with how integrated I was expecting it to be I was looking at like a day yeah at least f917 says raffle off an old poly jet I mean if you want to pay to get that thing to the UK we'll wrap it off if you can lift it we'll do it it weighs about 300 pounds yeah I'm not doing that look it's sitting in my garage we were gonna autopsy it because it's it's end of life like there's nothing you can do with it you can't buy materials for it you cannot use it anymore so I mean an end of life video like an autopsy video on like the interesting design that went into how to build it that would be fun see if you were still single I would have raffled
off a date with you but hey look you can still do that where's your be fine with it money is money J.E. Palmer says raffle off Jacob yeah the the old poly jet so we will do that video once we have the new shop built because I need a much more dedicated space than I have right now with a lot more camera angles than I have right now because we will be doing it live but I will also be filming it for a main channel video so we can have like a multi-hour stream of us tearing it down but then throughout it I will be filming for a main channel video that will then get edited so yeah Emily says in that case chop chop got the container I have to wait we're in a holding stage right now to the north they're building a house and I need them to get their final inspection before I
do anything because I don't need inspectors poking around we'll be following the laws but I just don't need them poking around so I gotta wait till after that but I didn't learn some stuff a John remind me to tell you what I learned because I learned some stuff that's valuable for the containers don't use don't use 57 stone use limerock not limestone limerow look it up it's way cheaper I was told this by a guy that does this for a living so pretty cool but um yeah we are dude so these events especially like reliance back then reliance was smurf last year the first time that we ever met because I think it was I don't think that we that we had met prior to that I believe you would come up to me asking about oh no you
had a thing on your bag that said that you were open to work and I talked to you about it and so like our maker chip reliance designed it so if you get a maker chip from us he's the one that did right interesting because I got one for me that was the first time I met you in person well so he's got a snap maker you won now and his material which is really cool so I want one like that too by the way because I have an excel and I can do it that way too but you know now now he's got his own his own things he's putting stuff into the raffle he's doing all this stuff for the community like 10 out of 10 this is what the community is all about and he's been a heavy contributor to our discord since he joined it right so learn from reliance don't be afraid to talk to people because you never know you never know what answer you're going to get the worst somebody
can tell you is no right no no no the worst somebody can tell you is you but if you're okay with that just ask I've heard worse and these events are oh now you're louder than me all right I'll close your my mic again okay and I'll push my mic no no that was your mic where it is now just move closer no now you're peaking now it's terrible now now now you now you've just woken up nerman now he's mad at you oh bollocks sorry nerman we love you nerman I'm sorry I forgot yep and as my cat says join the join the discord $10 to your hire on patreon paid value to membership I know it's not free it's not and anyone that is in there understands why we share things that are behind the scenes we spend a bunch of time to help you guys I do at least a couple one-on-one assistance sessions every single week with people when they ask we talk business in
there and it also keeps spammers out we don't have spamming problems and we often don't have issues with people we've had a couple but they're dealt with because we're adults we don't have the size of like the channel and the how many people are in the discord it is damn clean I guess it needs it needs a refer like I need to refresh and remove a bunch of channels but yeah there was quite a few channels that I have to figure that out and literally I'm gonna be working with people it are discord to fix it because I don't know how to do it myself you know the the goal for me is to have a welcoming community of people that is understanding that are I'm trying to like the right word inclusive yeah inclusive probably yeah like we have just dedicated channels for projects we have some dedicated for neurodivergence and it's areas of no judgment we have an area
dedicated for ranting so if you're just pissed and you want to and you want to rant there's a channel for that go ahead and if you don't want help say you don't want help no one will help you you usually want to get something off your chest get off chest it's fine um yeah it's a it's a good place to be um oh and there that's the guy's name the hersal nerc and this is why I like I need I can't pronounce that I'm sorry I can't pronounce it he's the one doing the hot sauce he's got two hers hers yeah go hers is doing two hot sauces two reliance to to bring to us for the event one is labeled PLA the other ones labeled peak and I'm supposed to assume the spice level based on the naming no one creature I wonder what they could be I wonder what they could be and if you guys do want to enjoy that kind of thing you can donate down below to the uh just giving link obviously support the the show donate here as well like subscribe those things and of course
support our sponsors greatly appreciate it um getting said everybody in the discord is awesome never had so many helpful and kind people so um then layers of lily says I keep posting things up because I post it in the wrong channel yeah this is why we got to clean it up uh we got to remove some channels that are a little uh you know specific uh or I guess not specific um yeah I I love these events I've said it before I get very burned out and I think a lot of people are the same way where it's like you're you're you're just in your own head you're grinding head down you know getting shit done and you kind of just you're always kind of barely eating out the burnout right you're just barely beating it you know and because of that
you you get kind of disenfranchised toward this industry because oh look another render three clone oh look another bamboo clone it's the same crap every day but then you go to these shows and you see everybody else of genius dude and like the level of intelligence and creativity like I have seen so many marble runs in this industry that like I wanted to do an out of marble's marble run and I bought a bunch of them I never did it because I'm like I just really don't care but the one that reliance is doing is really really unique because it's similar to hex traction that Zach Friedman did but it's more of a it's more of just a fun marble run but you know it's got elevators and conveyors it's all these different features I'm like this is really cool and this is even cooler if you take it to shows and you have some
audible and some movement from machinery that aren't 3d printers I'm like this is really really cool and like Reth says the shows are more than the items being sold they're more about the community and it's really hard to quantify that until you go right you know like did it ever make sense to you until you just went to one no I already had in the mind that this is a festival for printing and this is what will be like and once I got that I'm like damn I need to come back again I can't miss these I refuse to miss one of these events especially in my local area smurf because it's like a two-hour drive for me because of how important it is it is both social battery recharge in an industry that does it and I'm in a really bad position for being
disenfranchised by the industry because I run a business I run a business that's constantly fighting both the government trying to ruin the industry both other companies trying to ruin the industry just just all of it I have to face all of it it bloody sucks and when I went to the first smurf and when I went to the second smurf it's it's those moments you're like I remember why I'm doing this I remember why I fell in love with the reading printing and why I'm never going to give up on it because it's the people it's the technology it's how far you can push it it's not oh here's another plastic box that does another bamboo wrap clone and smurf specifically because it's raising money for good cause right yeah yeah so David Conner show over brings up a good point says though by the end of week by the end of Rocky Mountain rep up I'm people out for a week totally agree every single night we go back to like the hotel or wherever and Amber's like are you good because I'm very quiet I'm like yeah I'm just I'm I'm just you know no grunt you're not good
after that you're saying you're good you say you're good you're not good you're you're holding it together but I just like I am good do not ask twice it would be bad it's never like that yeah Glenn says smurf is so fun because it's really non-corporate compared to most it's just a bunch of dudes is right that glances I can't imagine crap being quiet yeah yeah yeah there are times that I'm quiet then there are times where I'm not like last night we we went out to celebrate Amber's grand parents is birthday they're within a few days of each other and we went to this restaurant it was so effing loud like when I'm having to use my outside voice I don't think you've been around me when I've had to use my outside voice the folks from E 30's I've heard you want it was
because my outside voice is normally me getting angry yeah it was it was the like that guy's going to be in trouble then he did something that kind of encouraged yep yep and then I was like yep deserved yeah I I the E 3D folks have heard it once it was well deserved it was a drunk guy following us and I gave him some options and I started very politely and then I ended very not politely and every attempt not to get physical with this drunk guy that really wanted to get into a fight with me but that's a story for the discord um and you know what happens at the smurf after party state the smurf after parties unless we go to an Irish pub where there happens be live music and then we're posting it all over there no it was awesome it's all gone that's public at that point we had so much fun um I'm slow I'm so looking forward to the after party this time because I don't have a stand to go to I can stay yeah let's go yeah the the the the smurf and all of them right it's not just about the event it's what happens after the event
if your content creators there's huge value in getting face time with brands right you'll never get better face time with them because these smaller shows smurf remur 3D printopia they're small enough where you can have one-on-one chats with people and it's no big deal a form next is much harder to do it and that beats that will get you 30 emails in 10 minutes right like just being able to talk to people that's 30 emails back and forth you have to that same point um and what list says real life events mean you get to see people you disagree with in real life and see there humans and maybe treat them like that too as long as they deserve to be treated like humans otherwise it's okay uh on the first smurf I did call somebody straight to their face in idiot and a death trap because they plugged a SSR relay directly on this plate of metal that a heater is connected to and for everybody who doesn't know the safety of SSRs they are big blocks of a tiny
little chip covered in resin so it doesn't you know become water anything or explode yeah and they normally fail deadly when they get too hot and then they fail deadly uh yeah when they get very hot because the chip starts to explode yeah because when they fail they fail deadly so it keeps working it cascades and you get a grenade please don't use the cooling side because all the the relays have metal on the the base of them to put on to something to transfer the heat um don't put that plate of metal as the heated chamber don't do it don't want to see it speaking of heated chambers don't touch I like you being alive don't touch the top edges of the ht 90 why it gives a little burning kisses they're very warm yeah the top there's little frame tops and they're connected to the main frame of the printer uh I learned that the other day uh very warm I'm okay no no marks uh
the only mark I have is this one that was from my car that looks painful oh yeah oh yeah you know trying to loosen a bolt and it came loose at the expense of my finger um worthy tried fingers grow back yeah well we almost got the car to the state that it can get a timing belt done I'm gonna have the students tear it down while I'm gone but I'm not gonna have them touch the timing until I'm back so I'm like it needs the brakes flushed you guys can do that without me you can tear down the side of the motor get the timing uh you know stuff exposed but don't take it off because if this car gets out of time this is it's a whole nother problem that we have to deal with uh so they're excited they're I mean I I had to tow a car uh yesterday and the day before okay uh so my friend Dan was driving uh his car and we were driving to
Gainesburg and it just suddenly started losing power I was like huh okay what's going on we're it's making a bit of a weird sound but it's not dying it's not seizing it's just losing compression and then it suddenly just like died but not like stalling it was just it gave up I'm like huh interesting so we abandoned the car just put it on the side of the road it'll be fine no no this is a Ford Focus diesel petrol say 1.2 liter EcoSport no it did not so we abandoned it for a couple of days we're like cool let's go get the car I've got a uh toe line uh with me as as we should uh and we uh no actually at the time I didn't have the toe line we knew what we thought the problem was which was the um alternator wasn't turning over
the engine and it was failing to ignite the spark plugs so we now I know but it the 12 volt was dying so we're like okay we'll swap the 12 volt spark plugs will start working again alternators probably dead because it's clicking weirdly when we turn it over which is fine so we'll we'll bump start we'll push it get 20 miles an hour by just sprinting as fast as we can uh put it into gear get it going uh so we got there uh it's uphill that was the audio a bad idea uh so like it's okay we'll turn it around so I have to shut the road this is a main road by the way shut the road put my car halfway in it so we can start manually turning the car also this is a pro tip for anyone can't get a car started moving uh because it's just sat still put your hands on the wheels don't put it on the body of the car put it on the wheel and push down and it's so much easier once
it's rolling you can put your body weight into it but get started especially with the wheelchair put your hands on the wheels uh did that turn it around started sprinting it down the hill now got it to 20 put it in first gear got nothing and then we ran out of hill so now it's back to uphill did that three more times until we realized you can't bump start forward focuses in first gear you have to put into second gear not an up engine speed it's not the engine speed uh apparently the auto stop start is active on first gear it's deactivated on every other gear see in America cars come automatic you have to ask for them or spec them to be manual so very few cars in the states anymore can even be bump started right that sucks yeah that really sucks even when we got it working so so story gets worse though we get it working we get to 20 uh we get
in second gear and we're like okay it's working it will rev but it's about half power according to the chat because two people said who who who who who bumps starts a car in first gear I always do it in second well I didn't know I've never bumped started a car before so that was not enjoyable uh but we figured it out we put it in second and the first time we did it we did it I got in the calm and I'm just shaking like it's first day at leg day because doing that three times not easy and it was chucking it down in the rain which also wasn't fun okay so we got some good advice in here always bump start in second it's way easier from matchmaker space f917 says you always bump start in second cuz there's less torque okay you know what the more you know you know what thank you guys you know what it just on on a physical like math level you're totally right and I would have never thought of that also peasant as member 15 months as automatic for the win see I would have thought doing it in first gear because once you have it speed because your clutch is down at the
the motor is going to be higher RPM but it'll be easier motor is going to be higher RPM and you want it to turn over so either way we got it working in second gear we just had to get faster to get working in second we drove it 35 minutes from Gainesburg which is a 40 minute drive away notice I said 35 minutes not 45 minutes 35 minutes of driving and we were getting to the edge of Lincoln literally the the next like 10 meters you are inside the perimeter of the first set of buildings and on the hill just before it started losing power again and I get a phone call from Dan cuz I'm on the phone with him I'm following behind as a safety car and he's like yeah Jacob just just so you know a cabin's filling with smoke I've been doing that for the last 10 minutes and I just didn't tell you I'm like do you have power still I'm like yes but it's fading fast so we slowly we abandon it again and we pop the hood and it is just smoke everywhere I'm like great
what's going on we spend 45 minutes in the pouring rain trying to figure it out and we find a bleed line coming from the coolant that goes into the bottom of the turbo was disconnected there's no coolant going into the turbo it's oil definitely not oil it was from the coolant tank there's coolant does not go in a turbo chargers it it went into the bottom of the the turbo housing okay okay so we're like weird all right cool so the coolant line came out and I look down even further and I found what looked like 3d printer spaghetti I'm like that's not good so I find the wire I pull it through and it's a threaded like connector that goes into the bottom of the engine block so it wasn't the turbo it was the bottom side of the engine block for coolant just like bleed
coolant that's where oil is coolant should never be it wasn't oil we check the oil definitely not the we trace the pipe into the the coolant reservoir and then we realize oh the coolant reservoir's empty as well it only got serviced a month ago that was full everyone in the chat like let's say maybe that's what's wrong there's too much coolant in the turbo are you sir Jacob yeah no I'm certain I've got video and pictures of everything I can post them in the discord I'm not going to put it past them but there are no cars that I'm aware of that use coolant in their turbos you might put a nitrous line into your turbo but that's just to give more oxygen into the intake to help spool the turbo faster but a 1.2 doesn't do that no it doesn't it really doesn't that's why me and Dan were like why is there a line going to this we went for it and the threads have melted off of it I'm like oh so we took the top cap off to
leave the inner cap so you've overheated and and it overheat the motor and it's obviously it was a block line going to the engine and it's dumped all the coolant somewhere which is probably where the smoke was coming from because it was boiling off and we've gotten just lucky enough that the heat was expanding the engine block enough to lose compression not seize the engine Jacob because the internal engine temperature was still reading 75 degrees no that's because that's okay faulty line here's what normally happens I've literally dealt with it at the school the other day in somebody's 2001 Honda Accord same model here is mine mine's not yep uh your temperature sensor for your coolant is normally passed the thermometer the one that actually opens the coolant pack it likely your your your temperature dingus has failed shut and the coolant still shows it's 75 Celsius because it's not flowing through the motor anymore yeah that's what we think has happened
is your body is a faulty temperature sensor probably blown a head gasket thermostat thank you has probably blown a head gasket in the process yeah we've definitely blown the head gasket how milky was the oil Jacob perfectly normal well he got very lucky then he didn't blow head gasket I know we I don't think we've blown the head gasket what I think has happened is because it was heating from the bottom because there was still some coolant in the top loop it was heating up the actual cylinders themselves meaning the compression ratio was dropping until it couldn't form enough compression to ignite because it does turn over still it's not seized I think we've gotten so unreasonably lucky that the engines you're going to want to do what's called a leak down test where you where you check to make sure that you haven't lost cylinders but you also want to check for exhaust going into the coolant um as Zaxman said I think we have lost a
spark plug I think we have lost one I know well when we opened the the engine bay one of the sparkers the fourth cylinder on the right was very smoky the others were fine so I think we've lost a cylinder why okay okay just I would have just got a tow truck I was just going to say I was just being like 80 dollars we can get a tow truck and tow it to probably minutes to be fair it's a forward focus it's money it's money it's money this kid bought this this Honda Accord for 900 bucks 900 bucks 2,000 one Honda Accord 150,000 miles no 900 bucks yeah not at all you can pick them up flight 400 bucks over here how many miles between 80 and 120 for a 2001
2004 to 2006 the older Honda's have better motors in them so they they have a tendency to go for more my V6 coupe is worth at least 1500 in the current market even in its current condition yeah wow 900 for this car I think which he got a good deal on it low miles all that had the two liter VTEC single overhead cam but it burps coolant so we're gonna it's a thermostat thermostat really easy to fix so gonna be fixing it he'll be he'll have it fixed before I'm back I bet I'm 20 bucks he could do it before I got back basically I'm gonna hand this kid 20 bucks when I get back because I needed to motivate him to get his car fixed um yeah thank thanks cash for clunkers like my brother said they did a whole program years ago called cash for clunkers where you could get was it $2,500 I think it was a fair bit of money for any car didn't matter how old it was they would fill the motors with some sort of chemical that would
yeah physically sims games up to 4000 somebody and like this is from the the news articles somebody brought a grand national GNX a car that's worth 50 grand on a on a bad day they brought it to cash for us they had no idea what it was if I work cash for clunkers I would say I will give you 10 grand cash right now sodium silicate yeah destroys the motors like impossible to fix destroy the motors this is what the US did to try to come back smog and older vehicles but I always argue that keeping an older vehicle on the road was and is better for the environment than buying a brand new car because the the well it is it's the energy cost and building a new car is extortionate I'll find that it's apparently against federal law to offer money for those cars that would have sucked think of the
corporate profits yeah that's fair think of the corporate profits what why didn't someone think of the multi billion dollar companies but you know we we see kind of similar stuff in the in the 3d printing industry right where yeah you know dude how many how many years or months you could you get a gen one under three brand new sub a hundred dollars right and why do they do it because they need to get rid of inventory and you know now those are the clunkers of the industry like I can't even give them away anymore nobody wants them nobody wants them that's like all right well even I won't take them I used to take them off people just to be like yeah got another like backup printer and do all that I don't want them anymore please don't give them to me I donate them to local maker spaces and and schools and hackerspaces where they will tear them apart for parts stepper motors extrusion nozzles hot ends heaters bed you know I wish I could do that all of those the weird thing with the UK a lot of the schools because of health and safety will not do that anymore
they've really like clamped down on just like the the play with some equipment type stuff depends on the screen and they're just buying like k ones or like other like budget printers just to say that they've got printers now also the UK education kind of screwed they don't really have a use for printers they're just buying it to tell the parents that they've got the really printing because it's a buzzword now but that's my own color fish we see that too and that's like that's the thing I try to combat locally is oh we're just buying 3d printers because we want to put that on our curriculum but nobody knows how to use it we're buying dremel 3d printers that are garbage that don't work very well and we're buying machines giving them to teachers that have no training have no desire for training we offer 100% free training to educators 100% free we will not ever charge educators for education they don't get paid enough here in the United States I will happily donate
my time to make certain that their students have access to this technology in a meaningful way and I recommend that everybody does this if you have even a base level knowledge of 3d printing you know more than the vast majority of your local elementary middle and high school teachers it is within your best interest to contact your local schools see if they have 3d printers and see if they're being used and if they're not try to work with the school to be an educator volunteer and especially as a business you can you can get money for that it's not real money it's taxable write-off stuff but that's as good as real money these days in my opinion Glenn says Dremel still has printers yep then you can still buy them here in the states still still sell you them they are not great printers just for reference but they will turn on with schools in the US they often have to buy from a list of approved vendors and that's where the problem is
so maker bot was one of the big approved vendors that was they made a huge push early on to get approved everywhere across the country so anybody anywhere could order a maker bot printer I still firmly believe that's why stratasist wanted maker bot was to have that instant in at schools to sell them stratasist machines but via the maker bot LLC or the maker bot you know company I don't know if they ever did that but you know similar ultimaker was the same way Dremel because Dremel tools people buy from that all the time right so they had they kind of have to be on the list so when they look at what 3d printers can they buy none of them oh well you can buy a Dremel or you can buy a when code act made 3d printers you know but and then now schools are getting bamboos so now we have to teach them about network security and dealing with cameras that are accessible at all at all the time around children yeah so yeah I'm just just side tangent
can bring the companies like just put like a little sliding thing I was actually going to say bamboo has actually done a good on that where they've got the security tab but just I do not like a one mini I don't think it's on any of the other brands that I'm aware it's not on the others that I'm aware of right I don't mind if the camera is only facing inside the machine and you therefore you don't really need a cover but just can't can we just do something that is better than me just putting a bit of tape under the cameras I don't like that she's a little little Vaseline just on it you know um yeah glad sending regardless of which of those brands you buy you're still get a flash forge yep yep so I guess now they include a little magnetic camera cover that'd be nice to see and if not I feel like there's got to be people out there that have the the files for it they have it on the h2d pro good good right that's good and realistically I still think that
there needs to be like and like it's so like Prusha is pushing their critical infrastructure machines right that's been a fun thing with getting some diagnosis work on the ht90 we've had a couple small issues with it and they're like oh yeah just connect to it I'm like no it's critical infrastructure I'm not doing it yeah I found that it also logs everything so I've got a meeting set up with people in Prague because it's Clipper yeah but yeah but that's not a bad thing don't care as long as it's not sending it places don't care well it what explain explain why I can't lock the machine I can't lock the machine I can't keep others from turning it on I can't keep others from from using it yeah there's not that I'm aware of I haven't found a way to do it uh well no I thought if it's using Clipper I thought Clipper has a password mode maybe it does but it's not active on this so these are these are all things that I don't think people have thought of and so I'm offering up my perspective as someone that
operates heavily within critical infrastructure to Prusha be like I know you all want to sell to this industry but here are some things we need to fix to solve the problem they've been very receptive to it and that's what I like to see um yeah similarly the core one L with the AC board issues um I am now I am now in direct contact with the people I used to have to like work through um like support and all that no I'm now just in direct contact with the right people so we can test it ourselves um Glenn says do you not have a lock on your garage it's not in my garage the ht90 it's sitting like six feet away from me um but that doesn't matter you you the machine has to have some basic level of inability for those to see what has been done to it for like if you can see what's been printed on it you can now see what that machine has been used for yep and that is an issue in critical infrastructure um sounds like something
that like I've been quite yeah ponyant about trying to tell people it's all well and good you can air gap a printer but you still have to consider what if somebody's in the room right yeah you like it's especially to schools say to school that you could put critical files on it say to university actually just so it makes it a bit more plausible to university you're doing some high-level research project sure but it's on the university printer because no way in how you're getting the stipend to buy an expensive machine you got to use the schools so you plug your files in you transfer it over it logs it like brilliance and you unplug you walk away and somebody comes along and takes it do you know how I know this is a problem it happened to me it happened to me not corporate espionage this is when I was at university oh okay but if it can happen while I'm at university in a non-critical sense imagine what the benefit would be is trying to do it in a critical sense yeah like I had a program module I was really good at it everyone was doing like CPU
based computation to try and find uh where's Wally or in American case where's Waldo uh they gave us an almost Waldo like picture just a little cut out and then this big 8k image and we had to find it with the searching algorithms and like compare and contrast everything everybody was doing it with the CPU I was like I play video games this is an image we use the GPU yeah we're mad so I did it all on the GPU saved it all I was going to get like the highest grade you can physically get because everyone was taking like five minutes to do the search and I did it in 2.8 nanoseconds it was like oh done brilliant love graphics cards Nvidia my beloved please stock price go up uh I saved all my files put them on my my USB drive unplug to my USB drive deleted the files on the computer and I left I forgot one step I forgot to empty the recycling bin one of the students came along took those files out of the recycling bin and made a copy
which didn't work so it's really funny because I documented everything and they couldn't be bothered to read it uh but they took all that work and I got a disciplinary and at high level university you get one challenge yeah if you get a disciplinary the outcome is either they realize it's not real or you leave yep there is no you don't get it for you did a bit wrong yeah no because university and like research requires trust and you have to pass an ethics board to do a lot of high level university stuff after my third year I had to do an ethics board I'm ethically accredited which is why it's really funny when I deal with the military I'm like you can't do that anymore uh but that is a real problem I lost half my grade not they even found out it wasn't me because the other guy's program didn't work I lost half my grade because of the complication of it could have been me yep and that was on work that was on something that doesn't matter that's just to get a piece of paper that says you want a patentable intellectual property yeah you
you've got a serious problem um and if you go to university print labs I bet you they have printed some like cutting edge stuff like all of battery research happens in university labs all of laser and quantum research is university labs if you get access to that data you can patent an entire like multi-year research project before they can even release their notes yep just in case because there's so much money in it soundspark says you know vlan behind authenticated VPN sure but I don't want to do that it's too much work um I all my machines are air gap it's just easier you know how you don't have network intrusion issues when there is no network to intrude I will say the nice thing about the ht90 and what to me classifies it as a critical infrastructure it does not have on board wi-fi it has a usb port where you can plug in a wi-fi dongle if you want it very similar to how
the core one core one L you just unplugged the wi-fi dongle it won't work you know there's no on board wi-fi um that is very valuable okay with here's a question for you on that um there is conflicting information I've been given from defense contractors about wi-fi trips being present on motherboards some of them are okay with it as long as it's hardware design board so even if you send a signal to the antenna it cannot propagate into the motherboard and others are we need to destroy the antenna what are your views on i am a i don't want a fair period because if it's not there it can't become a problem later on so i i look at not only technology that exists now but i look at what could exist in the future right and unfortunately for that you kind of have to take a worst-case scenario right that you know we we've already proven that we can determine where people are
in their home with their wi-fi it's very simple because it is effectively sonar right it's a acoustic echo location it's so you can do this and this was sci-fi 30 years ago impossible no you know now you can use lasers to measure vibrations on windows to determine what people are saying inside of the room oh you can do that with the wi-fi now as well they've they've optimized the algorithms you can get sound with wi-fi this is this is why i say and i agree with with zaxman here the best option is not there the second best option is permanently disabled and permanently disabled means that i can verify that it is not physically connected via solder joints if you just need to populate that area of the board because you need to great but you could also just be you know giving me access
to just pull the chip off myself and you know this is where i tar one and two and cmc one and two don't care too much about that but when you're looking at three four and five level five woo buddy quiet high but the amount it's funny because right now levels one and two actually don't care about internet right you can run a bamboo and we see a lot of government companies doing it the trick is they have to have that internal vlan and they must physically destroy the silicon when they when they get rid of the machines and a lot of them are like yeah a thermite or molten steel drop circuit board into molten steel it ceases to exist right a lot of them look at that and say well that's better than the alternative which is that's one that you take it for
into place and which was you have to shred the machines because previously they didn't do that and they were like oh god bamboo lab exists now but i would argue that like a vision miner 22 idex or once i get some of the things worked out in the ht90 in ht90 they are machines you don't have to do that to or at least the h90 in theory you shouldn't have to with the 22 idex you don't have to they are certified for that those are things that i think companies should be seeing more but that's where we get into the the money for marketing right the money for marketing on these machines but the funny thing is they're never the companies that are at the shows right not vision miner doesn't go to the the you know the wrap wrap festivals neither does bamboo bamboo has cedric is going to be at at smurf this year in theory right he's set to do a talk and all that i am hoping to get him to sit down so we can be fun yeah and the first like bamboo
presence on the channel is it's not eating hot sauce no we've had another bamboo we've had a bamboo employee on before uh oh yeah it was it was will uh when will was still working with bamboo but i mean obviously we will have to have kind of uh uh in agreement on what we can't talk about just because of the animosity between the two companies but again similar to where i wanted bamboo to be the top donor to shave my head and i'm like please i was looking at cedric saying please do it get permission get i tell them five grand tell them donate five grand we will shave a bamboo logo in my head i would love nothing more than to have that happen and to this day i'm bummed that it never happened because i really wanted that i have a feeling they're not going to let them do it we'll see but i i think they're they're too nervous about what i could ask and you know there there's likely not enough benefit for them but we'll see i will
happily cedric if you're listening maybe or maybe i should text you about this but i would love to get a set of approved questions that i can ask you that you can ask me so that we can have a little bit of fun on air and raise money for charity i think people would really really appreciate that i really think that they would um so that's my uh that's my ask so i will say my doors open for those kinds of chats i will reach out to cedric i have a cell phone number so i'll just reach out to him personally and if they choose to take it great if they don't you can't say i didn't try and yes i will follow the list of approved questions i'm not i'm not going to go off script here um yeah i i mean do you think about that other one point you go on our bamboo lab employee as i as a small time content creator even a big time content creator if you don't already
have a relationship with them and you want one hello hello yeah that's a good point these events are great for skipping corporate bureaucracy oh i said that earlier it it's 30 emails worth of bs and 10 minutes right well it's not even that it's you can walk in i'm going to pick one of the most fun people to talk there for me personally tony firm uh duet oh i was going to go i can i can tree tech oh no he's just a blast but i mean tony we kind of vibe way too close and have very similar like thought patterns yeah also i'm sorry tony i have confirmed i have killed the screen i i do not know why i've done to it so i'm sorry there's a story in there probably not one for air in it uh nope yep but hopefully i don't know what they're bringing uh to smurf if they're bringing anything or going because i haven't actually checked the list they are going there and uh maybe
they will be showing stuff off they're showing off the index board it's already public oh i know yeah so i know about that but maybe they'll show something else off oh and if so i think it will be a very good way to get user feedback because that's what we need the most on this thing dude if you're developing a product for this industry those wrap wrap fest are the cheapest market research you could ever do they are great like oh your key target audience is going to be there and a lot of them are paying to be there hell yeah and yeah you might get some random british guy tell you you're an idiot for doing something but you can listen it's out of love and i actually said like hey give us an email we will give you the relay that will not overheat on this fair because that's what these events are about is helping everyone else reliance is yeah that talk still ner still nerves about just asking that yeah that's fair and if you are someone that wants to talk to these
companies and i am not in the middle of filming something if i'm in the middle of filming something please wait till we're done i am happy to introduce you to whoever right it's no big deal i don't care now i pride myself with being someone that will open doors for people because i believe in it and if you can make something i will open the door for you but then i'm stepping away right it is then up to you to continue that conversation i'll say hey this is so and so they happen to be a fan they were trying to talk to you they're a little nervous thought i would open the the door for them and show them that you are not a bad person you're not mean or whatever um it gets the grand seal of approval of this person is worth at least having out and as a matter of fact he says and positive terms is such a hard thing to overcome it is we've actually had a actual therapist it doesn't go away we've had an actual therapist who is a maker in the industry too which is what i love uh on the show to talk about this we
got to have a nick back on i know i always look i have a book on a shelf um it says i'm so successful why do i feel fake why do i feel like a fake the imposter phenomenon by jones c harv phd with Cynthia cats um it's an involved book you don't have to read it if you don't want but i keep that book within i shop because it reminds me that i'm not the only one that feels this way and can you send me the link to that book because i think i'd want to eat that i think someone in our chat can post it maybe yes please i don't know because i suffer with that so badly other than streaming i try not to do anything on my computer because i just don't want something to fail while i'm in the middle of doing it that is fair but um yeah it it's a good book um it's very technical so you might like it but um yeah imposter syndrome is is tough i mean dude i deal with it but i i find it so
much easier to say oh yeah hey this is this is Joe Prusha you know this is so and so you know talk to Joe now Joe and i've been friends so maybe that's not the perfect example but it is so much easier for me to introduce somebody else than it is for me to introduce myself because i'm like yeah who the hell cares about me you know like i i'm nobody special and if you meet me in person you realize i'm the same person like you realize this i'm the same person off camera that i have on camera i'm slightly more composed on camera but that's it no no you are less composed on camera but yes feel free to come up to us um and it's the only way you can get a pin the only way you can get one of the victoria pins is to meet us in person you have to come up and say hi to get one so if there's anybody you want to meet please do and the diamond back guys will tell you i'm always happy to open doors we were the ones that introduced them to e3d that started this big relationship that they have now um you know and i don't want credit for it but they
keep giving it to me and since they keep giving it to me i might as well use it as well um and you know they're god you will find that people in this industry are some of the most real people you've ever met and they're just they're they're just trying to get to that next level so we're always happy yeah i i have yet to meet anyone other than a single CEO that i met but that's because they came from big money downwards um that has not been genuine like just a person trying the hardest to do something good and it it's a weird thing to put like intangible words but it's like the same like like Joe Pusher for example even though everyone's one of the biggest companies in the world for additive and has all these employees and is praised by everyone he's just a person and he's a lovely guy and you can talk to him and it's just it's a normal thing it's not like
they are this glowing beacon of whatever they're just them and it's the same with everyone that i've met like all the guys at dweedy qf where they're like we've made this really amazing material in all this and i'm just there like i want to go to pub i'm like trying to think of somebody who i've met that doesn't also have imposter syndrome in this industry and i can't think of anybody i have it so badly and i actually know why i have it a little bit it's because i play dnd and dnd taught me something that has been the most invaluable thing for my entire life how to randomly spout slightly charismatic bullshit so you can say the right things with the right tone and the right emphasis you can open the doors with a bit of social engineering and all of sudden like people view you as being a lot more successful than you like realistic you are yeah or yeah it's like one of the times i had i met a friend this is a couple months ago there were new friends at the time they didn't
know about how just i'm a regular person they only met me a couple of times and got told i run a business and that was it and like cool they went to hospital with a family member and uh me and Rosie we went out to their hospital just to make sure they've got like amenities and we realized the mum of this friend wasn't put on a drip like they should have been on a drip like six hours ago they weren't put on a drip and they weren't scheduled for being put on a drip either and they've tried to get them on a drip and the NHS because it's terrible free but terrible uh wasn't really prioritising the woman at all they were just being like nah doesn't even and i just like walked up to like the nurse station and because i've i know amber and we talk a lot about medical i have a couple nurse friends i know the lingo i know the attitude i know the stance and i was just like hey can i see the chart for this person can i do this can i do this
they just gave everything to me because they assumed i was a medical professional because i said the right words and i just have a slight interest in biology and then they asked me if i was like a medically trained which is part one so i can say yes i am medically trained not in medicine but in other aspects medically trained and do i work here and i said no i don't work here but i am medically trained blah blah blah and they're like cool so i looked at the chart i'm like yeah you know that this woman was supposed to be on a drip six hours ago it says it in the notes at the bottom can we prioritise this room and seat this uh can we also get um like sat's being done and i need to see what her um spo2 level is and they're just like cool on it i went back five minutes later the entire room got reprioritised and i'm just sad back going like i don't know what i've just done it wasn't that big i just talked to a woman nicely variables valuable with respect yep and then uh my friend who hasn't known me very long
from their perspective i walked out sternly because i was like i need to do a thing yeah came back in and then five minutes later six nurses showed up to do the entire room and they're just like what did you do anyway you you'd be surprised like you know but reliance as my charisma is one more of the barbarian that wrecks the door as i don't fully think about the proper social cues brother you're going to an event that benefits a charity for neurodiverse youth you ain't alone you ain't also you ain't charisma one trust me you ain't charisma one no i i can tell you who charisma one is but that just gets political and i'm not trying to get political they especially with what's been happening this week uh oh no the biggest thing that i would tell anyone who thinks they have low charisma you don't actually have low charisma you have low self-esteem yeah once you it's why when you drink your charisma goes up it's not
you drink it's you stop thinking too much about the consequences you're like oh this is this worry drinking stops the worry meaning your charisma goes up it's all about confidence and when you learn i learned it through playing roleplay games fake confidence because when i'm roleplaying a character that is confident and my player is like this might kill my character the character is acting this will be fine so you fake your confidence in your voice acting reliance of all people knows one you don't have a charisma of one i've watched you talk with people and you know that i will introduce you to whoever you want to meet i don't care like if that means i have to flex the fact that i have a youtube channel to get you to talk to somebody i don't care you know look i want to be the person that i would want to have if i was in somebody else's position i'm in a position where i know a lot of these people personally and i want to use that to help them
meet other people personally there there there are good things that can be done here and it doesn't just have to be oh because you're a content creator who the hell cares i know these people because of my youtube channel but that doesn't mean because you're not a content creator you don't have value no let's get you to talk to these people you know the one time the the one i will i will always remember is it rocky mountain i was talking with this dad had a son with him and the dad huge fan of the channel and all of the sudden the the the kid starts pulling on his dad churches daddy daddy that's a 3d printing nerd joha just walked in and there's a huge line right and i said you know i'm gonna make your son's day he's like can you like let's go and i bring him right to the phone line say Joel this kid wants to meet you and Joel says that's awesome high five dude you give the kid a high five they talk for like 30 seconds the kids i mean it's
smiled from ear to ear and you know i'm like oh yeah i see i'm not Joel telling but i can introduce you to Joel telling and the dad said thank you you have no idea how much you've made the kids day and that's all that i care about that's all that i care about i only care about helping other people right if i cared about me for all of this i we just we lost our we lost our our our our title sponsor for this event um over something stupid i'm not getting into but we lost our title sponsor for this event it was not my fault something really stupid and it is what it is if i can get another one in the next week great if we can't it comes out of my pocket it is what it is but just because we lost our title sponsor doesn't mean i'm not going to show up and well eat a bunch of hot hot sauce for people because it is about doing good for a community beyond beyond my own reach and anybody from the community i don't care who you are whether you're an attendee you're a content
creator you're a business owner i don't care you are invited to sit down at heat in the hot seat and talk with me there's no cost you obviously a you dice will get rolled it is what it is it is what it is and you know if you give it gets a little spicy gets a little spicy but i invite anybody i don't care who you are to sit down it doesn't matter and talk about what you do i want to know about who you are and what you do that's what matters to me it's the people it's raising money for charity it's not like i can't think of it any year oh no the first time we went to smurf i guess we we printed solid paid us the first year that we went when we shaved my head and i did leave with money in my pocket from that there was enough to put money in the pocket but then that all went to editing so we ended up losing on that but there's never been well i know i mean for everyone who knows we always lose money to the editing stage it's very there is no profit in youtube not right now at least but you know i i care more about doing good and if
that means it comes out of my own pocket so be it don't care so be it dug with two pounds as smurf is epic people triggering each other sticks that's kind of true that is so true the amount of time somebody has said something that i've heard an air shot but i have just this esoteric knowledge of i'm like somebody has summoned me i must go and tell them this he looks forward he said i'll bring a gallon of two percent milk for washing down the hot sauce so we cannot have any perishables or it has to be you ht you ht milk if you're bringing milk you i'm probably quite lactose intolerant so i'm probably going to skip on that good job the uk by standard has lactose free milk available in every shop because we have laws about being inclusive look man i'm uh it's also good i'm yeah i'm probably going to get some lactate
pills but um i'm i'm going to have bread so i'm going to have i know it's a perishable but i'm going to have it for me because if i'm doing this for two days in a row i need something oh i've reminds me i have to go buy a bunch of tums i'm going to have tums in the luck dip antacids oh so what are the lucky dips are going to be tums i was just going to say like we need to get some like antacids yeah we'll have antacids on his and again you don't have to do the hot sauce again it it's more for raising money for charity and something that makes it a little bit of fun um but yeah sloth lord luke said i'm bringing my girlfriend this year who knows uh who knows no one 3d printing or much about 3d printing but i'll introduce her to cocoa press or anyone else for sure cocoa press team will be there so i think you'll enjoy it um net ventips that i got to talk to grant and jol and orleno maker fair great talks about everything yeah orleno maker fair was awesome
let me see what else we got oh yeah we're all at tp in the fridge i don't think it's going to be that bad um it is it is right i at the end of the day again this is to raise money for charity and if i just ask people to donate and don't do something fun with it nothing ever happens our goal is to be if not the highest grossing thing at the show to be the second right under forearm right that's that's what we're going for um we want to you know we want to raise a ton of money and we've raised over 15,000 us in the past few years so i'm excited to do it again and Jacob's going to sit down with me on sunday i yeah we're going to be doing an in person part we're going to be doing a live show so i got to figure out well how we're going to do i think it'll just be a separate a separate live stream right so we end the regular one then we start the making awesome one yep um where it isn't put the laughs on and everything yeah we'll have
lots yeah but it'll be a making awesome hot sauce special edition uh where we will talk about the show we'll talk about whatever uh it'll be yep it's going to be fun i mean you guys wanted making sauce and for so long we're doing with actual sources you know the the jokes have been that i should just bring black pepper corns and crack the black pepper because that's spicy for the UK people it's not it's not Randy Parker with the five bucks saying wish i could make smurf what other ones you plan to go to this year so right now rocky mountain rep ramp is confirmed we are going to rocky mountain 3d printopia is confirmed i haven't booked anything for that yet but 3d printopia is going to happen it's up and filly this year murph is unlikely to happen it is an unair conditioned building in the midwest in july or june no that sounds like hell no and you live in florida yeah i don't want to do um so i know the pezzle is wants me at murph area she said i want
granite murph i understand that but i'm not going to let myself be that sweaty and amber would die as she says so i'm good just get a building with anicon then everyone would have fun except it's not um i think or we'll probably go to orlando make a bear assuming we're there we are planning on the japan rep rep festival i don't have a hundred percent guarantee on that yet when's that again april may may i got to figure it out um i i need to look at what those tickets are going to cost yeah amber said it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit in florida right now she's a sweaty mess it's true may 30 we can for jar yeah i want to it is our plan to go
but i will absolutely need a monetary sponsor for that there's no way that we can get there there's flight talk expensive i'm expecting it like 1500 plus a person minimum and so if i'm spending like three thousand on playing tickets that's that's a lot of money so i gotta be very very careful about that uh sloth or luke welcome to basic support thank you for joining as a channel member uh you now have access to a bunch of behind-the-scenes content uh including a three-hour video of Jacob and i walking around china in threesome that that was some of the most fun by the other hand man max says it'll be this it'll be 70s in goshin this june i don't trust it don't trust it and we will be going up to polar we're gonna do a grilament like a special grilament with polar filament we go up to film for pha and all of that so we will uh we'll be going up to polar at some points every in the michigan area but i think that's all oh and i guess prog kamikhan
will be there technically i'm trying to get perucia to pay us to go we'll see uh but my plan is to go for at least one day to uh prog kamikhan so otherwise i don't really have too much else so yeah yeah um you see uh sloth what Luke said i had basic before and love the cup of video oh that's right yeah there's there's love that video that's from a year ago can you can you believe that was a year ago i think it was longer than that yeah oh i think it was wrong next we're going to form next i don't even have sponsors for that we're going to form next guarantee i have to go to yeah no we're going next it was it was too much it was way too fun also the the slights like panic i had every time somebody came over to me and dragged me away and i'm like but but grounds over there why are you coming to me but see this year we'll have staff shirts we're not gonna have them for for smurf they're not gonna be ready in time but uh this year we will uh for other events we will
have like 3d musketeers staff or press or something some sort of staff related shirt that'll be both front and back that'd be good even though i was wearing a 3d musketeer shirt the entire time it did not have the actual like brand name on there so um the problem is it's like smurf it's all of the important people go and then they see you and they go i need to talk to that person right now and know my what happens it's happening yeah and it's fun i love it but i i i mean events are working i might be how is matter clear okay but i am an old look i like that i have some social anxiety too who would have ever guessed who it's bad reliance is what was the value you got last year smurf i think we hit 5000 us last year maybe i forget off that my head i don't remember um it was more than zero i know that and there's a load of untangibles that you just can't value
yeah yep that's what i do it the untangibles are what's actually worth it for me yeah if there's one close to you you can afford the travel do it if there's not any close to unique enough for the travel we understand right but i will tell you for many years i never went to any of these community events my first event was at the time earth east coast wrap wrap festival in 2022 2021 2022 i might have been 22 yeah i think it was 22 i think it was 22 was my first earth and uh dude i love the events they're they're amazing we love them and like we don't we don't ever have anything to show off we're just there to show off what other people are doing so it's great sloth lord luke says i'm driving four ish hours again to go to smurf which is easy enough to get to
yeah totally yeah i think Liz you and i we were our first earths were the same um um yeah yeah anything else dude we want to call i think that comes i honestly i'm just really excited for smurf yeah really excited i i've been burning a lot of the midnight oil getting something ready for smurf uh that fell in our lap and we've hinted at it before and it is a physical item so uh i am the last things came in i can show the camera this because the camera's not gonna pick anything up a thing oh there's a thing i could see it was semi i could kind of it's not it's transparent we're wanting their decals they are they're decals i can maybe show that and people be like that is a warning label that's a chemical warning label
