I fell in love with this tweet by AstroPrint immediately. He was filling a print with Sand, an experiment near and dear to my heart. And then, I saw it! My Spinning PokeStop Model in his video!
Have you ever tried filling your prints with Sand (or something heavy) to add weight to a print?
Good idea? Bad idea? #3dprinting pic.twitter.com/1yBg62uHND

What a thrill. This kinda makes me want to release more of my models. : )
Eagle eye social media star Heather from A Pyro Design spotted my Maker Coin on Twitter. What a fantastic “make” of the English Version of the Maker Coin!

And thanks to Thingiverse member, B_Layne, I know now what the English version of the From Failure Comes Knowledge Maker Coin looks. Lovely!
A friend of mine who is a drone-enthusiast recently starting dabbling in Fusion 360. He designed himself a GoPro Mount for his SpaceOne 220x which I printed over here on the Wanhao Duplicator i3. It ended up being a pretty darn sweet deal for me. Quick easy print and I got a free sushi dinner out of the gig (not to mention great company over the meal).
Now that the weather is warm, my friend is flying more frequently and I’m finding it delightful to see the print in action… or rather what the print helps records while in action. The latest video is below. You can also check out his channel at Pokey FPV.
If you need a GoPro Mount for your SpaceOne220x, you can download the model on Thingiverse.
I could, of course, print it for you. It’ll cost you some sushi! 🙂
Thingiverse user lelopes logged a hilarious “make” of my From Failure Comes Knowledge Maker Coin! Technically, it was a failed Benchy, but it failed in a manner almost identical than what was depicted on my Maker Coin.
I got a good kick out of it. Here’s a comparison of the two (I flipped his picture).
Enjoy!
Yeah, yeah. I’m slow at making my own videos. Luckily there are content creators out there who are on their A-game. Such is the case of Michael Phelps. He not only printed my Spinning PokeStop. He not only made a video on the model… but he also modeled and printed a companion piece for it. He designed a stand to make my PokeStop ornament into an actual PokeStop. Please check out his video!
