One thing I find absolutely invigorating– helping people out in the community. After my Simplify3D Print of the Week, Twitter user @TomLum1 reached out with some questions. Look how quickly he mastered and applied his new knowledge! Lovely!

Aww, my Etsy Shop snuck into Abuzz Design’s Mailbox Monday Livestream last night. I love seeing the growing presence of 3D Printing on Etsy. My shop is just one that Lauren covers (all the links stolen from Lauren’s video description are below). Be sure to check out and, if possible, support my fellow creators!
A big thanks to Lauren for always being such a supportive member of our great community! Definitely check out Lauren’s shop at http://etsy.me/2raDpGy

3DPrint.com is doing a wonderful series where they are doing profiles of women in 3D Printing. I am quite honored to be included with the women they spotlighted. My profile published today. It includes an answer to the frequently asked question, “What does TGAW stand for?” 🙂
Enjoy!
The ever-supportive and kind folks at 3D Central published a video on Maker Faire Nova. They included footage of (and kind words about) my work. Thanks guys! VA Makers Rule!
I got invited to participate in another live stream last night. This one was hosted by 3D Printed Aspie. There were many new-to-me faces in last night’s stream, so I was thrilled to make even more acquaintances in our great community. The topics of conversation included recaps of two recent events- Maker Faire Nova and MRRF. I got to highlight my Dial-O-Lantern (a pumpkin where you can configure up to 27 difference faces) and a Maker Faire Vase made with the kids at last year’s Maker Faire Nova. In addition, I got to advise my peers at how to watch their young children around rolls of filament. They… uh…might be tempted to roll it down the stairs. : )
A big thanks to Matt from How I Do It for kicking off the Community Live Chats and for Ryan at 3D Printed Aspie for his hospitality at having me at his channel. : )
Technically Delaware did an article on my favorite filament provider, Printed Solid. Who show up right smack in the middle of the article (for very little reason)– ME! Muahaha!
Give the article a read when you get a chance, or better yet, order some exotic filament from Printed Solid. 😉
I was listening to an episode of the WTFFF 3D Printing Podcast that caught my eye entitled, WTFFF 451: Closing The 3D Print Gender Gap. At the very, I got to hear an update on myself and my projects.
Thanks to the 3DStartPoint and Tom and Tracy for the shout out.
3D Benchy is arguably one of the most well known prints out there and it is commonly used for calibration and testing out a printer’s capabilities. It is no surprise that 3D Printing Industry did an article on the Jolly 3D Printing Torture Test.
The 3D Benchy ‘torture test’ that pushes 3D printers to the limit
And at the very end of the article, my “From Failure Comes Knowledge” makes a cameo (along with some great tips from Joel Telling)
A little starstruck today. The folks behind 3DBenchy liked my MakerCoin and featured me on their blog.

I had the honor of 3D Modeling and 3D Printing another ornament to represent the Town of Occoquan for the holidays at the Virginia Executive Mansion.
An article about the ornament appeared in the Prince William section of the Washington Post today.
