[@jimmysgameclips]

And the ideas, every video is exactly what I didn't know I really wanted

[@ravoris]

First of all, usually "ten awesome gifts" videos are full of "get your dad personalized golf tees" kind of stuff, so this one stands out for being full of particularly cool stuff -- especially the lithophanes and the kit cards, which really do give you a lot of choices to match the actual interests of your gift recipients. Second, whoever is helping you demonstrate the maze puzzle box and the cyclone has their nail game on point.

4:45 Hey, I know the puzzle of evil. I'm the one who modeled it originally The new clam case is a remix on my original design.

[@ZackFreedman]

No kidding! It's a great design. A few members of my Discord printed them out, and they're having plenty of trouble. Brooke says she's mad at you, by the way. For the puzzle.

[@3dpprofessor]

@@ZackFreedman I can't take credit for the puzzle. I saw it on a Kahn Academy blog. If you search my channel for "puzzle of evil" I made a video about the whole thing.

[@Sporp]

The puzzles are a great idea! As someone whose presents are pretty lackluster this year, I think they're just what I needed to spice things up a bit

Pro tip with lithophanes, print them vertically. Do not lay them flat on the plate.

[@robotportachiavi2507]

what about the infill? I think it should be 0% or 100%, right?

[@AdultsSwim1]

@@robotportachiavi2507 Depends on your slicer settings. My slicer does two passes per wall. Front and back, that would be four passes. That's about as thick as I print my lithophanes, so the infill settings don't matter. You don't want it to be too thick otherwise light won't shine through it as well. Even in white filament, my four-thick prints need a pretty bright light to see the picture.

Nope you really need to take extra time because it can take days for it to finish printing and if it fails well another 38 days you gotta wait

Note: turn off support when printing the sword. It will leave a length of plastic inside the sword that can get stuck between two segments of the sword and break it. It happened to me.

This is kind of serendipitous because as in watching this video I was pulling off the outer shell of the puzzle tube and re leveling to print the inner container of the puzzle box to hold my kids "biggest" Xmas present (cash). My daughter loves puzzles and will genuinely enjoy it. My son on the other hand it will be to try and teach him patience and our to teach him to ask for help or how to find answers, but ultimately I fear it will lead to most of his solutions when he hits a wall or gets frustrated wish is give up or hulk smash :/

First time here - will be back! I knew it would happen eventually...... Im an avid creator and operator. I've been watching the 3D print world grow with great interest and The plan to one day join your ranks when I found the spare time. The recent addition of a 3D printer (charming and frustrating little Creality Ender 3 (pro, apparently)) has opened a whole new world of machinery, functionality, discovery, challenges and variables worth tinkering with for time unending. My habitual method of learning anything new, is to just do. Failing often and determination are the keys to success here, as in many other facets of life. The difficult choice that led me to choose a CE3 for a printer was due largely to the price, but justified with the reflection that all of the nightmare settings that awaited my tinkering would undoubtedly lead to both sleepless nights spent largely in a trance, staring into the mesmerizing movements of a developing print, and an opportunity to again learn a new skill in the best fashion.... By pumping money into your day to day disappintments, with the lofty confidence that "this time for sure!!!" Would save the day. As I said, I knew it would happen eventually..... No, not the 3D printing bug... The KZbin channel production endless rat maze. This is your fault vid creator guy! And it's personal! I now know what my next hobby project will be..... DAMMIT BOBBY!

So I also printed a purple coronavirus, but the remix I printed has a mean little face on it. I did mean to make a snow globe with him... Mind the filaments with glow (and probably glitter) - they're actually really abrasive to your nozzle so they can widen it out pretty quick apparently. Strontium aluminate is some coarse stuff.... I've printed part of a roll in a cheap import nozzle and haven't seen too much change or degradation in print quality (the surest sign) but I'm on the lookout for it and have another cheap nozzle at hand to replace when needed. I might print some of these even on my very not modern 3D printer: old school Replicator 2X (with decidedly modern PrusaSlicer), so take that 😜
