Unspooled Episode 41

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.

3DPrintopia Coverage on Tom Hardware

The 2025 rendition of 3DPrintopia happened recently. It was our last event with the APGFCU Arena as our home. The wonderful writer and long-time ERRF/3DPrintopia Exhibitor, Denise Bertacci (aka stlDenise) wrote a delightful recap of our last year in Bel Air for Tom’s Hardware.

Solar Eclipse Necklace on Thingiverse Instagram

I likely would have missed this, if it had not been for a tagged comment from my friend Abby Brown. My Solar Eclipse Necklace, originally designed for the 2017 totality in North America, made an appearance on the Thingiverse Instagram. I also wore it for the 2024 totality and I hope to sport it again in 2027. My family and I eyeing a trip to Egypt!

TGAW 3D on InsideNova

For 50 years, the town I grew up in has been having a large craft show each September. We always attended as children, but I never expected I would have a craft worthy enough to be in the show. But five years ago, I brought the show’s very first 3D Printing booth. I continued to represent 3D Printing again this year for the show’s 50th Anniversary. I managed to sneak into coverage of the show by InsideNova.
