I had a delightful time this week as a guest on the Unspooled podcast. Mojee3D and LayerXLayer did an excellent job as hosts. They sure know how to make a guest feel welcome. They even made a little grey-haired Vicky cartoon for the episode thumbnail! The experience reminded me a bit of “This is Your Life”, but in 3D Model form. The hosts brought up photos of models of my past. From my Wine Cork Turkeys to Custom Infill Coding to Filament Poop Vonnegut to my Stained-Glass Needlepoint Heron to my Gazebo that made its way into a Hallmark Christmas movie, I enjoyed reminiscing on my old projects and providing some backstory on their inspiration and process.

How You Would Slice That? – Prime Tower Designs
In this day in age where we are surrounded by technology, we can get desensitized to every day wonder. Tonight’s guest, Mike from Prime Tower Designs, is combatting that with 3D Printing and Physics. He aims to create “little moments of magic” with his designs. Those moments of magic often combine light and movement to make animations with no electronics. His designs are resonating. His models have been downloaded over 34,000 times. He’s won Maker World contest awards. He’s even hosted a Maker World contest. He and his animated holiday ornaments been featured on the local news. You may have caught him recently on Meet the Polymaker. And his first crowd-funding project has raised more three times its original goal.
Tonight, we welcome Prime Tower Designs and look forward to hearing how “Engineering Plus Art Equals Magic”.
