Doesn't look too complicated. I'm a total noobie to 3d printing. This looks like something I could start with.

Oh, I promise you I am a newbie too! Since shooting this video, I’ve made lots of fun and cool items. Can’t wait to share my results in a few weeks! I’ve only had 2 fails out of lots of prints!

What people don’t realize about 3D printing is that this technology damages children. Back when kids actually received an education, there was a school subject called “Plastic Arts”. But it didn’t have anything to do with plastic. The term “plastic” originally meant malleable. So any material which could be molded into a another shape was considered a plastic. For example: Clay, Rubber, Dough, and Paper-Mache. The plastic arts were differentiated from all other kinds of art by the fact that physical objects could be blended together. For example, red clay and brown clay. The blending and stretching and mixing of materials has a much more emotional effect on the artist than just painting. Plastic arts physically involve the artist with his work. So in a way, it’s also a logical and emotional activity. The finished piece is supposed to be more only the the sum of it’s components. It’s like life. So the blending, and combining employed in plastic arts is a life-affirming experience. A tired artist has fought with nature. And learning to blend art materials is not so different from learning to blend life materials. Love, friendship, family, etc. But a 3D printer teaches children that the physical world is purely conceptual. The artist is only a person who thinks. Nothing more. So children never get the chance to explore how ego, and emotion, and effort combine to lend intent and meaning to their efforts. Plastic art bridges the gap between feeling and reality. 3D printers, however, exclude children from that gap, so they never learn how to make the jump from intent to outcome. The 3D printed “art” makes itself. No humans needed. And no combining of shapes and ideas needed. And no outcomes needed. Just push the button. Observing is art.

Hey Ron. First off, I worked with clay and other materials for several years, molding and creating. I never once looked at it as a life-affirming experience. But if you have that's great. Secondly, the other day, I downloaded a 3D modeling software, where I had to combine my ideas and shapes to create a piece out of nothing. It started with a vision, and after CREATING it myself, I was able to turn it into a physical product. So, while I appreciate your comment, I don't quite agree completely. We will have children learning the values needed through new and modern mediums.
