What's up navigation traders welcome to this week's video update today is Friday March 1st February's in the books, and I just posted a Recap of the closed trades on the blog so you can go check that out But for you our pro members we like to dive a little bit deeper go through not only our closed trades But also our open positions, so we are going to do that after we cap after we Recap this week's trade alerts But before we jump into that we got to let everybody know who got caught being hot this week in the community and This week, I mean there's a ton of activity So and it continues to grow and get better and better and more and more people are getting engaged And so it's getting tougher and tougher to pick a winner each week But this week congrats to our friend north of the border our Canadian friend who goes by the name penny Lofer congrats penny. You got caught being hot and we will hook you up with some navigation tradehacker swag So congrats on that All right, let's jump into the alerts for the week starting with Monday Which was the see here scrolling down Had a decent number of alerts this week The 25th so opening adjusting trade in wheat So we added an iron condor and meet in wheat out in the May cycle with 60 days to expiration Let's take a look at where we're at on wheat wheat bottom kind of fell out of wheat here I Mean look at this move here. So we actually got wheat has been just a crazy one. We've been in for so long We actually were about to get out for a profit at that point and the bottom fell off So we're just gonna continue to keep battling which is fine I don't mind it at all if we weren't in this same position that we'd been in we would be jumping into a new one and either Weed or soybeans or one of the grains But here's where we are with our here's the the new iron condor. We just put on Obviously the markets are closed. So you don't want to necessarily pay attention to that When they're closed, but still well within range here Even if even after that down move and then as you'll see in a later alert We went ahead and closed out our short put vertical price had moved way down beyond the expected move So we went ahead and just closed that piece out Next trade was a closing trade in Adobe So we had a pre earnings long call in Adobe booked almost 30% of profit in just a few days Price moved higher IV expanded a bit gave us a chance to book that quick winner Next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in XLK So we've got this long put vertical on an XLK that we originally put on for that short Delta exposure And we so we rolled this out to April with 52 days Adjusted our strikes up to compensate for the price move and just continuing to hold this for that short Delta exposure If you take a look at XLK, you can see we've got a little bit of profit since the roll But just kind of holding on to that for that downside protection Which speaking of short Delta, so we are at we took off a couple of long earnings trades this morning And so we're we're getting close to that five to one ratio I know some folks in the community are even higher than that We like to stay within that one to one to five to one on our short Delta versus our theta ratio Now not so our our theta numbers are low because implied volatility is low We haven't been putting on as many new positions So that's part of it and then the other part is with the market moving up like it has We naturally start to acquire more and more short Delta So those two factors combined now we're at we're bumping up against that kind of five to one range So next week, you know, we're gonna be looking to add some additional long Exposure and potentially cutting loose some short Delta because we want to stay balanced.  Yeah, yeah, you know, you're probably right in saying that But there's nothing that says the thing can't continue to rip higher as well So we want to stay balanced keep our portfolio in line with our criteria And our criteria is between one to one and five to one if you want to get more short than that That's completely fine. That's up to you But that's kind of the range that we like to stay in To help protect ourselves for you know, if there is some downside and then obviously, you know Don't get too short. So we get you know, keep getting losses if the market rips higher But anyway, that's kind of where we're at on that whole deal Next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in DIA. So we rolled our short call verticals in from March to April adjusted our strikes accordingly there and So we've got a few different pieces. Excuse me. No, we've just got that one short call vertical now in DIA We cut the other one loose a couple a couple weeks ago So you can see we've got a little bit of profit after that roll, but just again hanging on to this for that short Delta exposure Next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in CL oil And so we went ahead and rolled this we had about 17 days to expiration Rolled out to May with 49 kept the same strikes still inverted at 53 58 And then we're also holding that 56 straddle as well And I'll go over this when we go over kind of monthly recap of our trades But we're we're now down about 1900 bucks on oil So we've come all the way back from a you know, a huge drastic move in oil Towards the end of last year We see right here just a huge one directional move down We were able to manage out of that and get back to a point We're you know getting back to close to profits down about 1900 bucks In oil. So let's take a look at these two positions. We rolled this 56 straddle Uh out in May and and the price has come down And so we're dead centered here made back almost a thousand dollars since the roll on that piece And then we've got our other piece here, which is the 53 call 58 put You can see price is fairly centered there as well Just waiting for some more time to pass In oil to collect some more of that theta decay Next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in XRT So we rolled our short strangling XRT from March to April Adjusted our puts up just one strike from 43 to 44 And so we're just kind of holding on to that. We've got some short exposure here meaning we do want price to move down But uh, no no new adjustments at this point. I mean, they're you know, there's still a lot of Dollars left in that put side. So just holding on to this You know, I'd love to add another piece centered around current price in XRT The problem is and we've had a decent contraction just today and implied volatility, but IV percentile at 22 IV rank at nine not really looking to add Cell premium at that point. So we're just holding steady for now Uh, hoping for a little bit of a down move in XRT along with a lot of other things Uh, next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in Nat gas So we rolled one of our short strangles in Nat gas from April to May And then we're still holding our other one in April So let's take a look first at the one that we rolled Uh, it's right here. You can see price is right here. So we could use a little bit of up movement some more time to pass on that piece And then we've got our other piece which is still in uh in april Which if we take a look still 25 days to expiration So we're gonna wait until this one gets closer to that 21 days before we roll this one But you can see this one's pretty dead centered And uh, you know, we've made back a lot of profit there. So we're down still down a few thousand dollars in Natty gas But working our way back nicely in that one. So around the same time for those of you who've been with us For a few months, you know Nat gas and oil Both had just crazy moves around the same time had a huge move up and then a huge move down It's really been chopping around since then but working our way back nicely in Nat gas So look for this one to be rolled out and collect some more credit Next week and we'll continue to play the game Next trade closing adjusting trade in IYR. So we had an iron condor Close that out booked around 40 of max profit on that piece of the trade And then we're still holding Uh, I'll go to the I'll go to the charts here. I'll go to the platform because we had another trade in IYR here Later on so I'll go to that here in a minute Next trade opening adjusting trade in IWM. So we went ahead and added an I uh an iron condor and IWM In the april cycle with 50 days to expiration And then we're still holding our two sets of short call verticals in IWM as well So if we take a look here Here's one of our short call verticals looking for some downside to get back into range there And then with this one here same thing now This is the one we'll probably cut loose next week unless we get a decent move down Because you can see the gray area Represents the expected move the one standard deviation move. So once we get to a point where we're kind of out of that range Uh, then we'll either close or roll it. So depending on where we're at with everything We'll either close or roll that next week The iron condor that we just added was in april and you can see it's still very centered We just put that on so nothing to do but wait on that one Next trade closing adjusting trade in smh. So we had a couple different sets of short strangles close this one out We were waiting for a little bit of a down move to get out of this and we got it on uh the 27th And and so we went ahead and closed that out booked a booked a decent profit And so we and then we've still got another piece in smh Which is this adjusted strangle here where price is hanging out in the upper end of the range And so just looking for a little bit of downside to benefit that piece Next trade avgo. So we had a pre earnings long call and avgo got a nice move up today this morning on friday To uh to get out of that for 30% Uh, oh excuse me. I'm sorry. Yeah, we opened that trade and then we got out today Which let's see let's just go to that here. Yeah booked. Yeah. Oh, yeah that one we booked over 50% of profit Let's take a look at the chart. I was getting avgo and cosco mixed up, but Avgo was the one that worked well came down We got in here on the 27th and then popped a little higher the next day and then today Popped up and we got out for that Over 50% of max profit on that one And then the next trade was an opening trade in forge slash zn And this is the notes And so we actually we typically traditionally had used tlt as a reference for implied volatility However, one of our members allen kind of reminded me of ief. So I've been kind of looking at this for a while And if we take a look at ief It it is uh the uh bar 7 to 10 year which tracks closer to the notes And you can see implied volatility has popped up in that and so we went ahead and sold some premium in Zn, which has been making a move lower the last few days We just put this on so this is still fairly centered and just waiting for some time to pass in zn Next trade was an opening trade in ea. This is credit to big willy in our community So if this goes wrong everyone can blame him But now a great job big willy pointing this out They announced earnings Earlier this month so you don't have to worry about earnings in this cycle implied volatility ivy percentile still over that 50 level When we put this on So still very centered got some profit there not quite enough not enough to take off yet But just playing the waiting game in ea And and this is keep in mind this is I've talked about this quite a bit but We look at etfs and futures first. Okay, that's where we want to go first to sell premium That's our kind of our core strategy And then after that, you know, you know, there's a lot of low implied volatility across the board and in a lot of symbols now So then you've got to start looking elsewhere. That's why we start doing more directional plays We'll start doing more earnings plays and we'll start looking at selling premium in stocks That don't have earnings announcements coming up. And so that's what we're doing here in ea So good job big willy. Thanks for the suggestion there And that's just the power of the community if you if you have not gotten in the community Make sure you jump in there just a ton of good info kind of ton of good Traders helping other traders. So make sure you jump in there and and get engaged. It's it's been a great resource for everybody Next trade closing trade avgo. I just mentioned that one next trade closing adjusting trade in wheat So we closed out that short put vertical in wheat in the april cycle. I already mentioned that Opening adjusting trade in IYR. So this is where we today. We added another iron condor in IYR. So let's take a look at that And so here is here's our march Short call vertical looking for that for some downside in that and again This is kind of the same situation that I mentioned before is, you know, it would take a pretty significant move to get back into range here So we may look to cut this loose Next week or potentially roll it depending on where we are with everything And then here is the iron condor that we just added And with lower price symbols like this. I mean, this is under $100. It's about $84 symbol at this point You know, we like to we like to bring these Strikes in closer to the money. So if we go to the trade tab, for example And take a look, you know, typically our iron condors we sell around the 20 delta But if we tried to sell around the 20 delta here, we're barely going to get enough credit To even make the trade worth it. So we really tighten these up. You can see this Short strike on the call sides at 38. This one's at 33 on the put side So we really tighten in those short strikes And widen out those wings and it's almost like the uh, it's kind of a cross between a butterfly and an iron condor It's a very tight iron condor to collect enough credit to make the trade worthwhile And so that's what we did in IYR Lastly closing trade in Costco. So we had a pre earnings long call in Costco We were able to book almost 25% profit We're trying to get we're trying to get over 30 But it just kind of fiddled around went sideways for a few days some of that theta decayed Out of those long options And so instead of holding this over the weekend, we went ahead and booked our profits Now it was it was up here and then Very shortly after we got out it dropped So I know some members were having a problem getting filled at similar prices But now later in the day, it's ripped all the way back up Pretty close to where we got out. So Hopefully everybody's good there. Now look at the implied volatility too. So that did not happen We got out before that happened so that could potentially be helping other people's positions as well So if you're still in Costco, hopefully it stays up here and you can get out Monday if you have not already So those are all the alerts. Let's take a look at some of the other positions That I didn't mention one is a four slash six B, which is the British pound See we got a short strangle on here prices hanging out in the upper end of the range pretty pretty break even at this point I mentioned oil Uh, and then let's see e s we've got this uh long put vertical and e s looking for some downside to benefit that We're just keeping this on for a hedge for some of that short delta exposure I mentioned natty gas Uh z n z w di a I mentioned that one Uh e a e em we've got this short call vertical on here just looking for some more downside to benefit that Uh e w w uh pretty dead center. We we actually could have taken this off today You know, we've been in this trade for 15 days. We've got a little over 40 percent of max profit So we'll look to exit that early next week I w m We've got an iron condor here and then the two short call verticals. I mentioned that Nvidia we've got an iron condor here got some profit in that one Not quite enough to take off yet. So holding on there QQQ we've got two sets of short call verticals And again kind of the same situation. We'll be looking to either roll or cut cut one or two of these loose Early next week And this one's pretty close to getting back into range. So a little bit of a down move could get us back on that one smh sp y Oh, yeah, sp y so we've got an iron condor here You can see prices barely breached the break even here So if price continues higher, we will close out that untested side early next week And then we've also got this other short Uh short call vertical looking for some downside to get back in so as you as you can see kind of the theme is We would love a little bit of a down move that would help tremendously XL K That one need needs some downside to get some more profit there XL V same kind of story here We uh, we put this on we've we're holding this for that short delta exposure And then xrt I mentioned price kind of hanging out in the upper end of the range. So Those are all the positions what I want to do now is I want to take a look at kind of where we're at Year to date So I always I always put out the closed trades, but that doesn't tell the real story. However For our pro members, I want to make sure that you see kind of where we're at with our open positions Where we're at where we're at year to date because I can't I don't want to do this to the public because they're not pro members I don't want to show them our open positions because that's designed exclusively for you our pro members And so here's where we're at. So if we go to the monitor tab and we look at profits and losses Going back a year to date. You can see we've got the british pound. We've made a little bit of money in You know, we've made back almost 16 000 dollars in oil Uh, 78 about 18 000 actually Now one thing I'll show you here and I'll skip ahead because I was I was in contact with toss with thinkorswim And so I'm showing total profit on the year of a little over 8700 That's actually not correct. Uh, we are actually a little over 5700 dollars in profit So there's there's a three thousand dollar Difference here and that'll I'll just I've just noted that to keep track of going forward I talked to toss for about an hour on the phone. I still never got the best answer that I was looking for But basically what they're saying is and I want to point this out because some of you all may have the same situation Where your overall p&l is different than what you started with with the year And what your net lick is showing today? So we're up about 5700 But this is showing 8700 and it has to do with future current open futures positions That were rolled that were continued over from 2018 through 2019 Okay, so that's the best explanation. I can give you it's the way that they they manage it I don't I didn't think it was the best explanation But if you had but if you were trading futures in 2018 and ended 2019 and you carried over some open positions You may have a little discrepancy in what this number is showing versus what you know, your ending balance for 2018 was versus what your net lick is today, so fyi so Oil and that gas are kind of the two main culprits here So, uh, you know, whether that's we've made back 16 17 15 000 somewhere in that neighborhood We've made back a lot of money in oil Just year to date in 2019 over the last couple months Uh, yes, we're down about 1700 bucks on that one. That's our we're holding that as a hedge for that short delta exposure You can see on in gold. We had one trade made a little bit of money there nat gas We've made back some money here. You can see about 2380 right there Uh, still down a few thousand on that one Zb had a one trade there that was profitable for a few hundred dollars I'm just going to go over some of these that are over a thousand one way or another wheat down about 1700 bucks On that and then we had the other piece that we made about 375. So down about 1400 on that one Uh, you can see dia another big one that we're down Obviously with the market moving higher us having short call vertical spreads on We're taking some heat on that Let's see 604 eww up on that one Iwm so if you can see a kind of a consistent theme here dia spy iwm These are ones that we're all down on due to that Having that short delta exposure on and those are going against us with the market going higher Let's see this one is lululemon took a loss on that one 981 that was a pre earnings trade I believe And then we've got qqq smh. We're down on spy. We're down about $2,500 on that trade So here's here's the bottom line. We are like I said, we are at about $5,700 of profit Start of the year with about 86,000 And so that equals we're up about six and a half percent on the year So don't quote me on that. That's not an exact figure.  I mean and think about this. We are we've been short Short delta Market's been ripping higher and we're still making money. So is it as much as we'd hope for? No, but if we get a down move, you know a decent sized down move We will be doing extremely well on the year And uh, and so yeah, I mean that's that's trading. So you gotta you gotta play the card your dealt And that is what we're doing. So Hope all that is helpful everyone. Have a great weekend and we'll talk to you next week


My first year in undergrad I was interested in math and physics and I liked physics classes better than math and so I knew that I like maybe wanted to major in physics but classes were like really hard and didn't do very well at first so I wasn't sure that I would make it. When I was a third year as an undergraduate I for the first time learned about all the studies and statistics about bias against women in the physical sciences and it helped me to sort of put my own struggles in wider academic context and I was able to use that knowledge to sort of understand ways that I could succeed personally but also to sort of use it as a constructive point to start a society of women in the physical sciences. When I was a senior I went to a conference for undergrad women in physics in the Midwest and it gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of women at different institutions and learn from them about what programs they had at their home institutions to do sort of fight gender inequity in the physical sciences. It was really sort of reassuring to see all these young women doing like real physics research. It's okay if the students who come don't want to do physics for their own reasons but I think it's good to show them that like there are successful women in academia and like you could do it if you wanted to.

I don't think it was a special Oh, I'm sorry anyways I'm excited to talk to cookie cad because I've dipped my toes a little bit in the past I used to work for a nerd themed bakery right um And I've dipped my toes a little bit in the past on making custom Cookie cutters for them, but I went through the absolutely like painstaking process of designing things an illustrator exporting the svg files importing them into tinker cad and like Combining things to try to make what I wanted So talking to them about what they do and how they make that so much easier is exciting to me Well, what do you say we bring them in?

So How about you guys you guys had good month after murph. I know we met you there.  Yeah, it's a good month. How long was it dry? Uh, how long did it like are you talking like wind chill factor? Like how long did it feel or how long was it? How long was it? It's 11 hours. We drove to new york. Yeah, that's the drive that we had. Yeah I'm down in arkansas. So it was about a 12 hour drive for us And you also had three kids in the back, huh? You had three kids in the back also. Uh, no, but He had a sarah. She's not there Yeah, now we did through the kids in the car and just drove out there I didn't even know what to expect because we hadn't been there before and um, they don't really tell you anything So we showed up and we're like, maybe we'll get a table. Maybe we'll just walk around Yeah, so and then when we got there, we yeah, we got a table and then we it was it was great It was so fun meeting everybody and talking to everybody and it's the first time I've been at a 3d printing thing since you know pre-covid but for us that also means pre Cookie cat The last time I was at anything was as a hobbyist Now I'm very cool part of it All right. Well, and I tell you um, I actually I won't say I'm gonna say how about this How was your mirf experience?  Did you like it? Did you have fun? Did you see stuff? What was your thoughts? It was amazing. It was it was super fun. I've been to many trade shows. Um, none of them have been fun You know, my background is uh is healthcare software and that's what I did for 16 years and uh You know, so we went to healthcare it shows and healthcare shows and you know, you know and uh process management shows and uh, you know, they're very uh, you know, we're You can't wear shorts Yeah, they're boring and people are not there to have a good time and interact and You know, so cookie cookie cat is from uh from new york Yes, that's awesome. That is awesome. So my theory or somewhere else. We're a little bit north of new york city That's awesome. Well, we met we met it. Uh mirf. I know It was crazy. Like talking to everybody doing the death racer stuff. I was I mean filming We were everywhere and I know I talked to you guys briefly and I said I got a bad idea Why don't we talk on hot makes because that's gonna, you know, go further into the community than just talking You know at mirf and then we can actually talk about what you guys have and you gave me the sweet role of sunset filming Um, and this is the cookie cad. Uh, I think I showed it a little bit ago, but cookie cad sunset It's a sweet transition role or Um, what do you get? What do you really call this? You guys call it a transition role or do you call it? Yeah, we call those transitions balls. Yeah, cool. And and the colors is just phenomenal I um, I was testing another printer and here's kind of a Really cool transition from You've got a really good transition right there. Yeah, yeah, and I um, I have a couple more prints Actually, I did a really cool unicorn and my little one took it to my wife and I didn't bring it back for today's show But uh, so she she currently has that in the case, but um, I mean Let's talk filmages for a second. You guys, um Have this made for you. Do you guys extrude it? Oh, we don't extrude it. Uh, we every you know every couple weeks. We're like, hmm. Maybe we should get an extruder Uh, but no we don't extrude we get it made. Um The reason we get it made is that when we started, uh Well, you tell it when we started what do you mean? Well, I really liked Specific colors. I was selling cookie cutters And I couldn't find pretty colors I wanted pink and like this pretty man green and every few weeks it would go out of stock And there was only one or two brands that I really liked That also printed nicely. I'm like, I wish I could just have all the colors I want And so we made all the colors I want Nice I love it. This is where we started our first two colors were like mint green and this coral Okay, and then we expanded the line to all these And then I wanted transitions that weren't just the whole rainbow Which is where our transition schools came in to play. So our Unicorn filament. I mean, this is mermaid Love that Unicorn colors So it just does when we came out with these the only real transitions on the market were just rainbow Everybody did a rainbow. There was like 15 colors in each one, you know, I mean, you know eight colors with the mixes And so it was all rainbows and we were like, does it have to be rainbows? So we you know, we have a partner supplier our filament is It's mid in china and we have a partner there and so we're always being like, oh, can we do this? Can we do that? And we're just asking them half the things they do they do only for us Yeah, first they say no and then a week later. He's like, we did this and then we push them and push them and nice We've learned a lot about the process and how it works. And so Um, we're just always we're like, hey, why don't you do this with the machine? And they're like, well, I don't know if that will work Let me ask the engineers and the engineers are like, yes, we'll try it and so So, you know, so the first thing we did is we did these we kind of focused on these like three two To three color transitions only so that you know, and and we're we do a lot of experimenting here on mixes On because you know she Melissa's been doing that forever. Her background is a pastry chef So she does airbrushing and all sorts of color stuff So we will experiment here on the mixes make sure it looks Good because we want to make sure that every color comes out nice even if it's like If you're only getting the transition it shouldn't be muddy ground like every spot in the Filament has to be pretty Oh, it's not like a reusing the transition Parts of the spooling or parts of the extrusion process. It's like you're actually designing it to be a transition roll. Yes That's nice And and I tell you I mean from this rule I only speak from what I've printed so far and it's about a half a roll Of uh that that sunset and every part of it has been awesome I mean like I I printed this little bolt and I mean printer wise it worked really well But you know the color came out really nice Um, I stopped it early because I was I didn't realize it was going to be such a long print But um super super nice on the color. Yeah, I stopped the top. I was like no that's too much. I'm out. Yeah, it looks like it was broken And then you know like this mug this mug came out Super cool, and I just love the transition it you can kind of tell it's light on the top and in on the bottom here And you know, you got the purple in the center. I just I loved how that turned out Um, but it's printed really good And it's cool that you guys are saying like, you know, I kind of want this color in this color. Let's try it Yeah Yeah, we've been playing with uh, we haven't been very happy with how I mean With the trend of these like co-extrusions that have been out there We've tried them out and there's things that we don't really like about them And so where we've been working for months now With our supplier to do something different that nobody's done before Because we're just we don't like uh, they're only silk and they're Um They leave lines Yeah, so we're working on a couple things to fix that it looks like very obvious that there's a shift and We're yeah, we're working on some cool things Oh, we can't wait to see it. Yeah Jack in the shop in the chat was asking what speeds people usually print You're filming and um I don't think that they're uh, that it really matters for the film at PLA So that's really come down to how uh, how much your hot end can push out Well, I tell you the mug moment like it's this mug. Yeah Was was printed on um Well, if you see the banter. Yeah, it it was so it's printed on the the x1 carbon That's not at full speed and So, um, you know You know, it's probably going to push it out at a right, you know, 10 11 millimeter per second cubed and then uh, if you've got uh, volcano or cht nozzle you can do Push that up But it goes down it comes down to your nozzle and your hot end. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter I almost ask you about a red, white and blue roll There's so many things like that that we've wanted to do that you can't because if you do a red, white and blue roll You get a red pink Yeah, and blue. Yeah, that's true because Definitely working on ways to get all those colors in a spool Definitely in the works Ooh, that would be that would be interesting if you if you could get it So it's not bleeding and and like you said that would be that would be pretty Yeah, I mean you can always use a palette to like because that palette like splices it right Yeah, I actually saw Courtney I saw her on here filament store. She she just posted a filament the other day that had like this sharp transition I have no idea how to do it. Maybe some palette like device. I don't know asked her We'll have to ask her Tell us on uh tell us on chat. Courtney how you did it. I also saw uh, I saw chris I want to say hey chris. I can't wait to finish up that uh lightsaber with you but more importantly your suit came out phenomenally and uh, hopefully we'll we'll feature that soon. I think in a couple weeks We're gonna have you on and talk about all that good stuff.  There you go Look, there's chris right there Where my shop? How you guys doing? Good. Hey so So, uh, shannon found a way to be with us, which is awesome. We're just talking with nason and melissa from uh cookie cat and So that that was where we're at right now. So welcome to the stream Sorry, we're sorry we're late.  You sure you can stay on if you want. No, I'm gonna Hang on. Oh, she's really quiet. Uh, yeah, we can't hear you shannon Can't hear very well That's okay We're gonna keep keep rolling with uh, nathan and melissa because I want to talk about the uh, the actual CAD software you guys have um And that's this one right here so This is it. This is what your cookie cat, right? explain explain to me because um We we didn't you know, we didn't start with the filament. Uh, the way we got into 3d printing was actually through Uh, this software, um Yeah, I mentioned melissa's pastry chef. Uh, she needed cookie cutters Um, I would have a software background I wrote her something to like make so that she could kind of just sketch out a cutter And it would uh make the stl and 3d print it so that way Uh, she could just design them without you know using pad software Yeah, because nathan had a full-time job And he would come home from work and i'm like, I need this cookie cutter. You said you would make it if you got a 3d printer And he's like i'm tired. I don't want to make you cutters every night. So he's like here. I made you a script That's awesome software. Yeah, so this was back in like 2013 2012 2013 when we were like in the uh in the uh early caveman days of 3d printing and um This is you know, we had some of these early Frankenstein machines How does how does this um, I mean i'm looking at App.cookiecat.com and we have all the links in the description below So how does this work?  Um, usually just like a like a png it'll be something like um like The idea is basically something that has sharp edges So it could be like line art or coloring pages or clip art or like you could use an image like the little examples Yeah, you can click that ice cream cone And then the idea is that it makes the product for you. It would be it could be a cookie cutter could be embosser okay, um And so if you click that ice cream You can kind of see I was gonna cheat and throw my logo in there. Oh, yeah Well your logo. Yeah, you can try that the only thing is if it's uh, if it's lots of different colors We'll see how it behaves You have a silhouette version like a black and white Uh, or black I remember the flame by itself. Does it do an svg? Uh, no, no, no Well, let's let's for lack of a time. Let's do this. We'll grab this one and go Yeah, okay Oh, nice scroll around you can move the design right there So even people even though you could do this in CAD software here It's just really fast, right? And a lot of people who are using this to make things like cookie cutters They don't there's no reason that you would need to use CAD software every time and just keep repeating your works, right? So you can just come in here Click a button, you know, maybe change a couple settings put in the side So all the settings just relate to how tall you want it most of those you would probably just set once For your preference. Yeah, so there you could see different things you could make We have a lot of clay people that use our designs for clay jewelry So they have really tiny things Um, you can do embossers you can do cutter sets like this Yeah, we had a bunch of dog bones that was Someone at mirf said they were going to use the embossers to press leather and uh, I gotta See if I can dig up who that was to make to you know to um That's cool to stamp leather So essentially you can put stamps in there and just print it out and it's just you know Like I said, you don't need to know CAD software. Uh, you don't need to know and he told you just put up an image You can find uh images online You can go to something like the noun project and just find any shape or anything Um, and it can do detailed so uh, it could do like a detailed stamp also, but uh, we don't have an example over there Experimental settings Hey get out of there No, you We should have told you to log in before to see all the Oh But this this is super cool because yeah It makes it super easy for someone to do if they want to do it looks like a stamp or a cookie cutter um or a both Well, what's what's an imprint cutter would be to continue just adding sort of like just easy ways of turning uh, a simple design something anybody can kind of sketch into a shape and turn that into like a product like into a real So chris has a question Can you hear him if I lean in like that? Yeah, can you hear me? Yes? Yeah What about stencils? Oh, yeah, yeah, you can actually make stencils. It's not a preset there But if you um if you uploaded an image that had holes in it right that had like um Then we actually on our forum we have settings for a stencil. Oh nice our community form. Yeah No, I need that's awesome week ago. Oh, yeah Too late But now now on your next project, you know, yeah, now I know Yeah, but you can do you can make stencils as well. Um, you can do cake toppers Oh, wow So actually so we've been you know, we've been uh, so when we started doing this and we released it and then we've got like Tons of people using this. Um, not just for making cookie cutters, but for education, right? So we I ran into somebody. Uh, oh he wrote his name down I'll find it in a second. I ran into somebody at oh allen allen bachman Uh, I ran into a mirf and he's like, oh cookie cat. Um, we use you guys at our maker space Uh, part of our intro to 3d printing course, right? So because You don't want to take somebody who's new to 3d printing and throw them into fusion 360 You know, or even tinker cat or something because that's that's a big jump, right? So what you do is they say, okay, look Go find some clip art or just sketch something with a sharpie. Take a photo with your phone upload it, right? Okay And make a cookie cutter, you know, five minutes later. Now you've got your stl and you can learn The process and we've had we have teach we have schools using it. Um, there's a ton of libraries that If you google like cookie cat in library, I find they never get in touch with us So I just find them I find all these libraries that have done like, uh, courses and events. Oh, wow And they never tell you that's crazy They don't because you know what it's free to sign up for that stuff.  Well, I need this for my class and I was like, help me more What class? So she said that she does this dual curriculum in their stem program They do in the stem side.  That's the market. Yeah, if you click cutter plus stamp you'll see the uh To or just stamp you'll see kind of a snap version Yeah, do just snap and you'll see what that does. Yeah So, yeah, they're using it They have this dual curriculum and then on the business side of things they calculate the cost of the filament and they, you know Kind of just figure out what the So Nice So so I love that I love that and so, uh, we've been working on something else and I uh, I asked you right before the Show if we could kind of just announce it here Yeah, let's do it So, yeah breaking news Uh, it's Caleb is Scary around he can give a graphic or something Yeah, breaking news. We could do. Hey, you know what we could do. We have makers news. Let's do it. All right Hey Let's see if I got I got uh, I got geary on his It might be some sort of plastic That was perfect. I love that So our news is we we've uh, we've been working on a new uh, a new software. Uh, and uh, um, it's probably going to be called No, so we were calling it uh, cat it Um, and it's the same idea as cookie cat where you can really just turn any kind of like, um image Um, not an yeah an image or just something really easy into, um Um Into an stl for printing that the idea is it's a really easy to use cat software that anybody Uh, can use right and so things like tinker cat exist But even with tinker cat if you're new and you've not done 3d modeling before You have to learn how to orbit the camera and to move things around. There's a lot of like Uh, just technical skillset. There's a learning curve. Just to be able to kind of make stuff there. Um The way cat it works is you kind of work in like a 2d space And then create your 3d things. Okay. Um, almost like you can do that in fusion 360 But a much, uh more, you know easier to use version. Um, and I can actually Show it. Do you have a can you show us? Let's check this out. I'm super excited.  Um, But it's not it's not released. But then it'll be soon I think oh, I thought you were frozen there shannon not gonna lie I'm listening very now. I you guys are both sitting there so still I was like, they're frozen. This is awesome We're here. We're here. We're here. We're semi-alive.  I don't want to talk about it. Yeah. Yeah Let's not Let's not then I will remove her from the show All right, we're gonna do I think we might get end up with a little okay He's doing all right. I think I shared my screen Okay, can you see I should move that there Okay You can see it. Can you see it? Yes. Oh, yeah, nice. All right. So what we did here is I brought in the hot mix a little That's awesome. Let's step ahead of you, right? And um And we made this here. I actually printed it and uh, proof, you know prusa I always get there wrong. Uh, I said it would be done in time for the show and they lied No That doesn't happen. So if maybe it's ready I got checking on it. It's printing. So uh on the printer back there, right? You can see here like, you know, this um, we just started kind of with this three with this image on this side And so similar to, you know, kind of um and cookie cat You're gonna work you can work in a 2d space here, right? And It's then we'll make stuff in 3d. Okay um So What we've done what we did here is I actually brought in your logo and it can trace it And that's a really easy way to start because just like with cookie cat a lot of the people who use cookie cat They don't they're not artistic either and what they'll do is you can use a site like Which has got like a million free for commercial use images or it's a lot of places where you can find clip art and images to to um To use and so you bring something like that in and You know and you can make you know, you can kind of adjust uh make a little adjustments here. Um Just kind of you know, so I kind of adjusted the height. Oh, wow. All right. It's done It's done enough. She just took it out incredible. Yes. Oh, hang on. We're married. We're married That's okay. No, you it's good. It looks good I think I can unmarry. Hang on. Let me let me figure out. Let me do this. Here you go. Now Let's check this out You cannot marry I married us on purpose before so that we could uh, it doesn't matter yet there That's in our sunset filament. Um, it's just one spool. I didn't I didn't do any color changes Um, I mean It just you know because it because it pretty vertically things like this are really cool to do Yeah, we got the idea from somebody on tiktok. They recently made something like this with one of our transitions and I was like That's so good genius because as it gets to the higher layers, it's suddenly a different color Yeah, that looks awesome. It looks like you did a color swap, but you don't have that like hard edge, you know I know I first saw your your filament Ben it's boy in space did some stuff on tiktok with it. I was like, what is this and then we met you at murf and I was like, whoa So but this this is super cool. So you start out Um, so you start out. I mean, I'm gonna I can do a new one here. Um, let's do this. No, that that's awesome Is that working maybe no All right, that's fine.  Nice, you know and you can free draw so the free draw I'm anticipating like even like little kids on an ipad Just drawing a shape right little kids and then You can then you know, obviously they wouldn't be three printing it themselves But they would get the concept right and there was a preschool that was doing this with cookie cad with the cookie cutters The kids would draw a shape and then they would 3d print it and then they would come home with like, I made this I designed That's so cool. Yeah That's yeah, that's what we're going for here and and you know, I think it's going to be more than just uh for kids, um There's there's a sort of engineering aspect to it because you're working in the 2d space, you know You can see our 44 millimeters 42 millimeters. We're going to add some tools here so that you can Uh do some of the stuff you can do in fusion like dimensioning And once we do that right now, you can only draw in one plane and that's x y the floor But we're going to add other planes and once we do that it's going to kind of be a bit of like an easy to use fusion I really like that because I've always said like why in today's technology do we not have something that's like this Simple to create something like that. So, you know, maybe not like the more in-depth thing like you know, the Yeah, I mean we're supposed to be printing for one, right? Most of the 3d CAD software out there is meant for all sorts of manufacturing Right. You can use it for you can use it for injection molding I mean fusion 360 is used in all at many industries And the tool sets that they have is huge. Um, even tinker cat tries to do lots of different, um You know and so and so um You know, yeah, we're we're focused. Yeah, exactly. We're doing this for the 3d creative community. You know, we really just want Um, you know, I love when more people get into it You're bringing it to the hobbyists Yeah, I I like this idea of my uh, this is actually my mom, but she said, um, Basically the handprint of kids, uh for gifts or ornaments.  Yeah I do Christmas ornaments of like fans and stuff for family and I will definitely Yeah, that would be cool and and if you can um easily put a hole or uh, yeah Yeah, I mean or well, you know what you could just do a circle and attach it to the top of the square there And there you go. You know you have you can make a hole also. So yeah, yeah, you can use it You're pretty easy to make it an ornament. That's that's super cool. I think Oh, yeah, there's a text tool also so you can add so part of the goal also Which uh right now there is a text tool and you can type but uh part of the goal also will be To edit stls, right and to make not not to necessarily make, you know, uh a dragon, but to, uh personalize right So I'm thinking you, you know, you're selling some You know product that you're that you're 3d printing or you're making gifts for people It's so much better when it's personalized, right? That's the magic right that I made this for you a unique item So the idea here would be that you can put just, you know, put people's names put, you know on on So if you have a spot on your 3d print on your model Um, and hopefully the designers will start to design with that in mind With a spot on the model for personalizing then you can just kind of pop it in Um, you know, I anticipate you kind of just mark where that spot goes All you got to do each time is just type in new text and you're ready to go Ah, yeah, yeah, you know, even now I've tried to do that and every time you have to put a new name on You got to go back into fusion Yeah, and re extrude everything. It just doesn't handle that well How um, uh, how do I say so you did the the hot makes, uh Plack, I'm not sure what you call that right. There you go. Yeah, how did you put it on a base? So what I did was Draw square and then I brought in the image Okay, and then I and then I uh, so you want to put that like There's a trace tool. Okay I can possibly do it live, but uh, oh, that's okay. If you I mean I was just curious Is it gonna be as simple as basically there's a trace tool and then you can take a cube like this, right? We'll just make it solid and then there you go. That was really it and then you just make that lower just play with the heights a little bit That's it So here. Well, I'll make the smiley face. You'll see. Yeah, there you go. There you go taller This one's up Oh that totally doesn't matter. You only need one eye exactly tripod only has one leg so all right, and there's uh, oh no I lost an eye Looks cool like that. Yeah, and then yeah, here's our uh, you know, this is made by my kid my kid made this I did not Actually that looks like my drawing so Hey, that's actually that looks like the pooch rock Yeah Where we go and there's your christmas ornament I love that. It's so good So good.  No, that's that's such a cool idea. Um I think You know, there's so much potential in that I like I don't know why until I met you guys I never heard of this the cookie cad software So and that's a super cool thing because there were no events. We couldn't meet you before Right, right, you know, uh, but no what's cool about this is that I mean kids can do this I can probably do this So that's like kids and uh, you know, I could pretty much Come in here and make a bunch of shapes and go if I need Just a plaque like the base of a plaque that's going to be super simple to do in this and just you know Go so that's that's pretty awesome And I like that you make it just for um, there you go just for uh, you know, 3d printing essentially I mean you you're gearing towards that. Yes You know, it's that there's a sort of it seems to me like there's just sort of uh Second wave now of consumer adoption, right? The first wave was mostly like Tinkerers really right people who love engineering and playing with machines and can handle it But now there's people getting them that you know Are just kind of wanted just to work out of the box right and um and want to make stuff, but you know and and There's a whole new Economy right really popping up around this, you know, I really uh, I found that fascinating, right? There's these designers now that are earning their income by Just designing things for 3d people 3d print nothing else, right?    I I have one of those two and uh, I Clock spring is a genius. Sven is a genius, but I love that transition now You know what and that's and that's and what what I think clock springs genius is is that he He doesn't just in the early days of 3d printing people took stuff that existed and they were like What if I could 3d print it he designs for 3d printing and he makes things that you've never seen before Because the only way you could make it is for 3d printing. Yeah, orio. You mentioned we talked about the orio fund. We've got a giant This was printed in our chip. Wow That looks so good. They're a little chips. Yeah, it looks great Kind of kind of like marble Ish. Yeah. Yeah, they're marbles. They're marbles, but they're colored marbles while the white and the other ones are Nice The the transition sell the models and the models sell the film Oh, does the software run on a server locally or a server or locally as a software engineer? I'm picking scale because this would get a lot of use. Thank you. I really hope so um cookie cat is entirely um Serverless, I guess you could call it it runs on amazon Yeah, okay So it runs on their servers. It runs on their servers. That's right serverless Just really is a funny word. But uh, what it really means is that it can scale. It's kind of yeah when he was asking got it That's cool to be installed. Yeah Uh, I I think this is awesome And I hope you know, I wish you the best as far as success on this thing I know cookie cat has taken off You just go to any of the facebook groups and type in the cookie cat And you find in the cookie cutter groups There's a you know, you find a bunch of posts and people using it and like you said stuff You didn't even know schools libraries that kind of thing um I think uh, yeah, I think we have we have some time for some hot makes you guys gonna stick around Let's check out some stuff the other people have made too Yes, let's do it. There you go. I love it. Uh, ladies gentlemen, let's do some hot makes Let's go All right. I'm just reading the in between there. I was reading comments and I love it Uh, so what we got first happy birthday zolan happy birthday This was from local maker michigan and uh, he made you a pretty cool print there So happy birthday zolan. I didn't know it was your birthday. Yes. Happy birthday. I think it was the I want to say the 15th or the 16th because I remember uh, we had a streamer before I left and we celebrated his birthday Oh, nice 18th is when this post was done. So okay, there you go. It was right around there. We'll say that Um, happy birthday. That's awesome. Uh, what else we got here? uh, jacob kinch I posted a new 3d printed game on the printables.com took a few hours to design a few days to print So I really appreciate it if you check it out. Uh, it looks really cool. Um, let me just jump on there. There you go So it's all 3d printed This is this is all it got Um, I'm sure if we went here we could probably find out some more uh, looks like Maybe a description multi colors using up to four colors Um, each player has 16 sheep tokens and four hexagon board tiles so there you go a little bit of uh Pictures there, but it's really cool that people can just like me. I'm gonna make a game today, you know I'm gonna print a game today. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna I'm not I'm gonna make it design it then I'm gonna print it, you know Um, I love that that that's what's super cool about any of like, you know the 3d printing The the cnc the laser stuff any of that stuff you come up with stuff and you're like I want to make that quick Yeah Um, oh, there we go. Sorry about that Um, hi Nathan most said thank you for your generosity. Both are awesome. So humble and I am Yeah, I'm emerging of worlds.
