Now look y'all know I'm somebody that always says it ain't over till it's over because I do believe that and I do still believe That anything's possible till it ain't possible anymore, but With this latest report with Odell Beckham, Jr. I just feel like the Ravens chances, they're not they're not looking too good right now When it comes to landing him, but hey again, we'll see we'll see we won't know till we know But based off of this latest report I don't know but let's read it it came from Ian Rappaport and also justina Anderson first It came from justina Anderson because she said that Odell Beckham, Jr Will be visiting directly with the New York Jets He was gonna be flying into New York on Monday or New Jersey wherever the facility is that he's gonna be flying in there On Monday, and I'm sure he's a little bit familiar with the area. I would think he was but anyway Ian Rappaport said the Jets long-awaited meeting with wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. Will be multi-faceted it will include not only a physical so Including the physical you want to see what type of shape he's in you can see all the videos You can see the workouts from afar, but you want your own doctors to see I a house Odell Beckham, Jr. Looking how them reflexes how them joints how your bones doing how's your body overall you want a thorough examination To make sure that he is truly in good shape We know it's been a while for Odell Beckham, Jr. The last time we saw him playing in the NFL uniform was the Super Bowl two years or two Super Bowls ago So it's been a little while But they want to do a physical but anyway continuing says it will include not only a physical but also a thorough discussion of what to expect and see I like this one in an Aaron Rogers led offense See that that part right there. They like to give him a friendly reminder like hey We gonna get in Rogers you ain't got to worry about it. We gonna get in Rogers. It's only a matter of time It's been a long time now. They saying that it could be during the draft like don't like just just get it over We just make it happen, please so we can all move forward. So Until the next big QB trade whoever that could be but anyway They let it be no lay it's gonna be an Aaron Rogers led offense And you know how those go right Odell okay, but see this part was interesting Because it says what to expect in an Aaron Rogers led offense with a deep wide receiver room Now it's a good problem to have But that would sort of be letting Odell Beckham, Jr. No like look man We know how you were with the Giants We know how you were for a lot of the time in Cleveland But once he got traded to the Rams, that's when things sort of took a shift Because when he went to the Rams He wasn't the number one guy anymore And even in Cleveland like I think Cleveland was more like a 181 a1b type of thing with him in Jarvis Landry but when he went to the The Rams no Was number one guy anymore He was moving number two and that's not a bad thing. That doesn't mean oh, man.  You're not a number one guy No But when you have a cup of cup, it's like oh, yeah, you're gonna take a back seat We saw him still made his plays. We saw him still make his mark, especially as Ravens fans. Hello, but he wasn't the number one guy So this is the Green Bay Packers letting him know like look hey We know what you capable of But the room is pretty deep. You got Anna Lizard You got um Garrett Wilson. You got McCall Hardman. You got Corey Davis for now Think everybody just waiting on that announcement over the Jets release Corey Davis Just waiting on it. It's feel like feel like just like Aaron Rodgers. It was a matter of time Corey Davis is a matter of time, too But anyway, so you you guys you got some nice please like and if you add Odell Beckham, Jr. To that and it's and right That could be nasty man Like really thinking about that Alan's are Garrett Wilson McCall Hardman Odell Beckham, Jr. That four-wires even sets looking like that. Oh The options the choices Aaron Rodgers would have I mean they got to get Aaron Rodgers first But anyway, this is them letting him know in my opinion. This could be them letting him know when this meeting does happen like look You will be a role player here.  You're gonna get your opportunities, but you will not be the guy But we're not gonna ask you to be the guy And actually when you think about it, none of them really have to be the guy Yeah, but you got a lot of good guys in that room so anyway But it says how will it all fit together is a big point of discussion and yeah Yeah, because you got some significant receivers there and you know receivers like what receivers want to do they want the ball receivers want the football they want to make plays and This is again. This is a little side note side discussion when people talk about the term diva I hate it especially for receivers because people call the receiver that demands the ball that calls for attention for the ball Oh, that's her. That's a diva Why because they want to do their job? Because they want to contribute That makes them a diva in anyway another conversation for another day, but that's what they should want to do They should want to contribute. They should I remember with Odell Beckham, Jr. the whole the net game the game where he kicked the net and The was it the same game or the following game I know it was the Ravens game where he proposed to the net because the Ravens second there was like Odell Beckham, Jr. We're gonna let you make up for that for kicking in that we got you trust me We got you and he proposed to the net in that Ravens game But I'm not sure if it was the same game if it was early in that same game where he kicked it or it was a different game I think it was a different game, but either way Remember what Odell Beckham, Jr. So when people try to call he's a diva for doing that.  So yeah, he's gonna get frustrated. Yeah, he got upset Okay, and who cares but anyway, so then so that so that first report Okay Odell Beckham, Jr. He going there to hear everything We'll just read straight through it this time without breaking down piece by piece real quick again It says the Jets long-awaited meeting with wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. Will be a will be multifaceted it will include not only a physical but also a thorough discussion of what to expect and an Aaron Rogers led offense with a deep wide receiver room How will it all fit together is a big point of discussion Then Ian Rappaport followed that up with this the two sides will also have to work out a deal Unless the Ravens in birdlike fashion, they end up swooping in from above out of nowhere Like it ain't looking too good for him in my opinion. And again This is a and again, it's not over till it's over So there's still a chance for anything but this is why what Odell Beckham, Jr. I just could not get my hopes up when it came to Odell Beckham, Jr. Because it was like I just I don't know I don't see it because Not that I don't see it because again, it's the real possibility of something that could really happen, but at the same time like Ah, if he if you got to compare Odell Beckham, Jr. You got to compare his situation to he's looking at the Jets and it's like, huh. All right, New York, New York Okay, they're about to get in Rodgers. Okay, they got the mother receivers, too Then he's looking at the Ravens. It's like, um, both small, both small, okay Who would be throwing me the ball? Would it be Lamar Jackson? Would it be Tyler Huntley? Would it be Anthony Brown? Would it be Anthony Richardson? I don't know. Would it be Stetson Bennett? Especially after that little video dropped that's gonna drop his draft stock So, you know, Eric the cost of them just talking to my guy the other day about Eric the cost of them They looking at that video like oh, yes, that's been a dress to stop dropping. Oh, yeah, but um, I don't know man and Yeah, I just I'm not liking Ravens chances right now when it comes to landing and Odell Beckham, Jr But like everything we won't know until we know so until we do Let's see. I know some Ravens fans like keep hope alive. Some Ravens fans are like, oh, no, no I let them go to New York because I've seen them a lot of discourse amongst Ravens fans Just fans in general, but definitely Ravens fans because that's who we interact the most with But they a lot of Ravens fans feel like with Odell Beckham, Jr Like Ravens are doing a lot of the same old stuff Getting a receiver past the age of 30 past his prime Who's dealt with a lot of injuries? And just hasn't been able to stay healthy and it's just not not that guy anymore and I can understand How and why a lot of Ravens fans would feel that way. I really do Now when it comes to Odell Beckham, Jr Something that I've said on here a lot is that a I would not mind Odell Beckham, Jr. At all. I would not mind it at all but He wouldn't be enough in my opinion It would be a nice little It'd be a nice shift What the Ravens normally do a little bit because of the name because what he's done what he's accomplished But I don't think it would be enough because You're Especially I depend on everything like again with the injuries and stuff No, he's dealt with injuries his whole career really from his rookie year because he missed a bunch of games his rookie year still broke a bunch of records He missed a bunch of time throughout his career But now what you would hope for would be that he's good to go after the last surgery I know one of my guys Brad in a Twitter space is like last week a week before last He was talking about how he doesn't feel like Odell Beckham, Jr. He said the last time he saw Odell Beckham, Jr. Playing he doesn't feel like he was good at separating Said he just didn't look like he could separate that much anymore He said he looked like he could before early in his career But like with the Rams, he just felt like he couldn't really separate like that And I was thinking hey that could be the case or hey, maybe he wasn't all the way healthy Maybe maybe that leg wasn't all the way where it was supposed. Maybe it wasn't a hundred percent I don't know I don't know and we won't really know till we see him play this year For whatever team it ends up being will it be in New York? probably Will it be M&T Bank Stadium for nine out of uh 17 games Probably not But we don't know man, so we'll see anyway, thank you McLean. I appreciate y'all I love y'all and like it seems to be in my opinion when it comes to the Ravens being in on the Odell Beckham, Jr sweepstakes We out


So last week on the program we talked about the Washington Post's bogus fact check of Bernie Sanders where a long story short They claimed that it was wrong for him to say 500,000 medical bankruptcies occur each year and in this fact check They even reached out to the author of the study that Bernie Sanders cited and asked if Bernie interpreted his study correctly He then said yes Yet they still claimed that Bernie Sanders was wrong and the author himself even accused them of Misrepresenting his study. So if you want to see the full story, I will link you to the video I did on that down below But basically the reason why I'm talking about this again is because we have an update the Washington Post after a week Has finally issued a correction So they're going to correct the record with regard to one component of this story and then They're gonna double down as journalist Andrew Perez points out the Washington Post updated It's very wrong fact check to include comment from the researchers They smeared the researchers noted the post falsely implied their editorial wasn't peer reviewed But the post says we stand by our three Pinocchio rating It took the post five days to update its piece and the update is incredibly insufficient The post fact checking team the fact checking team is trying to he said she said their way past their own glaring factual errors a Total disgrace keep in mind They are trying to get around correcting mistakes in a piece that baffingly accused Sanders of omissions and twists.  This is an embarrassment and really out of all of the yellow journalism that you see from these corporate owned news outlets The one area where we should theoretically trust them where they should be the most objective is when it comes to fact checking Because this is a service that they should be providing people as a news agency I mean, I Disagree with a lot of the opinion pieces published by the Washington Post When it comes to progressive politics and partisan politics But the one area would be really nice if they were objective was when it comes to fact checking But the fact that they've essentially weaponized fact checking as a means of criticizing Bernie Sanders and attacking Bernie Sanders It really is a disgrace This isn't just bad for a journalism and it doesn't just drive down trust of Media, but I mean it's just it makes everyone worse off if they're choosing to do this and Jeet here of the nation did a great job breaking down Why this is a problem in an article titled democracy dies from bad fact checking The Washington Post is feeding into Trump's agenda by turning fact checking into an ideological weapon And he writes about how they did this not too long ago as well So the Washington Post has fallen into the habit of accusing Bernie Sanders of misleading the public Even in cases where the evidence is strongly on the side of the Vermont senator back in July post fact checker Glenn Kessler Objected to a statement Sanders made in the first debates in the Democratic presidential primaries Quote three people in this country own more wealth than the bottom half of America Kessler acknowledged that this snappy talking point is based on numbers that add up But then he added that it's also a question of comparing apples to oranges according to Kessler It makes no sense to compare rich apples like Jeff Bezos who owns real capital With millions of poverty shriken oranges who possess only debt and Kessler's words quote people in the bottom half have Essentially no wealth as debts cancel out whatever assets they might have now here then goes on to Describe the latest kerfuffle when it comes to the Washington Post and their bogus fact check and he explains Why this really is an issue? He's talking about the story that I've been talking about with regard to Bernie Sanders claim that 500,000 medical bankruptcies occur per year He adds what these polemics disguised as rebuttals the post is discrediting the entire journalistic genre of fact checking This is dangerous in a way that goes beyond any damage It does to Sanders as a presidential candidate in truth Sanders has little to worry about the fact checks are so Ludicrous that they are unlikely to sway any voters What they are more likely to do is feed into a pervasive distrust of the mainstream media Which is bad for democracy the mainstream media has already lost the MAGA heads who agree with Trump's crusade against fake news Now it might also lose the millions of Americans who recognize that Sanders presentation of economics is closer to the mark than the Post's bizarre exercises and politically motivated nitpicking so what he is describing here is How the Washington Post is willing to tank their own credibility in order to weaponize fact checking Against Bernie Sanders because they have a political agenda and that is a damn shame Because he's right here here is absolutely correct. We may not like corporate media We may not like mainstream media, but really there's no other substantial alternative you can talk about The benefits of independent media, but most Americans don't get their news from indie news outlets Most Americans get their news from a capitalist corporate-owned source So even if they are flawed, you know democracy cannot survive Unless there is that check from the media the media is oftentimes referred to as the unofficial fourth branch of government Because you know in the same way that the supreme court is a check on the president and congress and congress is a check on The president I mean we need the media to be a check on government as well But if they are choosing to sink their credibility so they can affect elections in a way that benefits them personally That's a problem That calls fact checking from the washington post into question where i can't just say well, you know what The washington post gave donald trump or bernie sanders x amount of panocchios here So i'll take their word You actually have to dive into the details really read it more thoroughly and most people just don't do that See what the washington post is banking on here is you know people will see the headline They'll see that bernie sanders was wrong and they won't actually read the details Where even the washington post kind of inadvertently disproves their own fact check and disproves the notion that bernie is incorrect But since most people read past the headlines They're kind of rolling the dice and expecting people to not really check them But this story in particular has actually got a lot of traction It could hurt them, but they don't care they doubled down They have decided that attacking bernie sanders is a greater prioritization than doing actual good journalism and producing fact checks That are objective and not riddled with just these types of flaws Where they reach out to the author of the study and ask hey is bernie citing your study correctly? And then after that author says yes, they still say well bernie's wrong I mean it's comical. It's absolutely Comical and if you really want to get nitpicky with bernie sanders you can say you know what even though the author says this I think that bernie sanders could be more correct and worded in uh in this way But instead they're just saying no false three pinocchios It's bad. Um, it's absolutely bad and you know, it's comical that They have the nerve to Call bernie sanders conspiratorial when he calls out the bias of the washington post because they're owned by jeff bezos It's almost like you're kind of showing your cards and you're proving bernie sanders, right? You're proving that you do have an agenda And here speaks to that in this article for the nation which you should absolutely check out And he talks about the institutional bias within the washington post that is subtle because you know This is comprised of journalists who are elites who are well off or in that dc bubble But you know, they can do what they want But it's hurting their credibility and it's hurting aggregate journalism It's hurting this idea that fact checks are committed to objectivity You know, you'd expect this from fox news or the daily caller Um, but you'd expect at least a little bit better from the washington post even if they are owned by jeff bezos But I guess that you know, um in a hyper capitalistic late stage capitalism environment That's too much to ask for and expect


Hey Dave, you still go to that contract?  You should try emailing. Emailing is pretty cool.  You should try hitting up your clients on social media. Wow, this is super easy.  You should let AI do it for you. Okay, letting AI do the work. All right, let's cold call.


I'm a extra manny. I'm a extra manny. Everybody, welcome to Hot Makes right here on Hot Makes, where we aim to educate and entertain the maker community, I think. I'm Nerdy J. This is the pooch. Pooch, how you doing? Fantastic Nerdy J. How was your weekend? Man, it was hot. We had an amazing weekend for Wisconsin. It was super hot, a little breezy, but very humid as well, and that's not fun. But I ran a sound for a festival all day Saturday. I did a little volunteer work there and ran sound. It was a lot of fun and we had the best day for it. How about you? Good. Beautiful weather here. Not too hot, not too cold. Did some pool, did some lake time, put it around the house, a little bit of everything. It was awesome. Nice. I see you're in that house you broke into last week again there with the trees in the background. I figured it seemed good enough at work last week. We're not doing it again, right? There's someone in my house eating my birthday cake with my family. I love it. I love it. Well, we got an awesome show tonight for anyone that's watching. If you're not on the new Hot Makes channel, I posted in the Edutek stream that's going on at the same time right now to jump in to the Hot Makes side of things. We're going to do all the giveaways on that channel that happened tonight. So make sure you're there. If you're not there now, make sure you're there later.  I'm drinking it. I'm trying to get energized. How about you? What are you drinking? I picked up one of my new favorites from Starbucks, although they're not easy to find at all of them. It's the Ice Shaken Espresso. I haven't tried that yet. With the oat milk, which is my new pet peeve. It's like they had it for a hot minute. They had oat milk as an option. I've taken a lot of flack online because you know, people are like, I didn't know I have oats at nipples. I didn't know you could milk and all this stuff. But it's of all the non-dairy, all the things that hurt my internal bits. That seems to be the one that just is consistently the most delicious to me and does not give me ailments. I'm with it, but you can't find it at all at the Starbucks. I'm going to have to try that. I like it. I'm going to try it tomorrow, I think. Let us know in the chat. What are you guys drinking? I made a, what did I make? Carmel mocha. Carmel mocha, I think, is what I made before I came out. Fancy. You know, I'm so fancy. Yeah. You're your own barista and I love it. It's great. I am. You probably save a lot of money that way and that's great. You get a little variety and try new things. All good stuff. H2O. I love it. Well, we got an awesome show. We have, of course, we have a $50 gift card to Amazon from FANGS. BAM! We have some amazing prizes from some other vendors as well. And so FANGS is our main sponsor of Hot Makes. We really appreciate that every week. Also, we have a, we have a crate, a filament crate. I'm sorry. One of these, we're going to, we're going to unbox this and we're going to look what's inside. I've not opened it yet. I have no idea what's in it. It's a crate in a box. A box crate. It's from 3D printing gear. Everything's in the description below, by the way. Also, so we're going to give one of these away. We're actually going to give one of these away for the next five weeks. So we have five to give away. So many giveaways. Thanks to our awesome sponsors. That's a great perk for you guys. For you.

I got you from last week. Don't worry. I promise. See you. We see you, Steven. That's, that's awesome, man. It sounds like we got a lot of that tasty, tasty mom spaghetti for your 3D printer coming at you from all these different sponsors.  And maybe you will be a lucky winner, right? That's right. I'm going to post the link again in, in the edge of tech side right now. If you're watching in the edge of tech side, I see you. There's about 22 people over there right now. Come over, come over to the hot makes the dark side and hit that subscribe button and watch over here. It's the same stream. We're going on live. What else we got tonight? You know what? We have an amazing guest tonight. I think amazing is an understatement because the dude is a legend, Ari, in, in the 3D printing space. We all, you may, you may not have met him before, but I guarantee you, unless you've been hiding in a rock or totally new to 3D printing, you have seen his work in multiple different forms. Amen. Yeah. And probably a lot on this channel because we feature a ton of his work on hot makes because it get tagged every week we get tags. I mean, I think we should just jump right into it. What do you think?  Bring him in, bring him in. Ladies and gentlemen, our friend all the way from Croatia. It is one at 10 in the morning. Webster, how you doing? It's fine. I'm good. Yeah, I, I made a mistake last time. I mean, when I talked to Jim last time about, you know, me, me showing up in the stream and he said, you know, it's kind of pretty late for you. And, and I just went online and I quickly kind of Google it. So it was, I, it looked like it was, it was around the midnight.  I can stay up late. I can ask my wife, it's no, no big deal. And today I tweet was posted and I'm again, just double checking everything because once I said that I'm going to join stream and it took me a while to figure out that it's actually for AM for me in the morning. So I could, I couldn't do it at one end and then I had to go early to bed and I woke up around two AM and, and did that thing. And after that, it's four AM, not one AM. No, not, now it's one AM. Yeah. So, so this is not a bad thing, you know. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for staying up. We were talking and I was like, I just want to make sure it's one AM.  The wife will let me stay up. Yes. It's so good. Well, I can double check, but yes. Don't wake her up. Don't wake her up. We see your work everywhere.  Let's jump right into it.  Mostly I do mini dudes, like, whoa, like this thing. They have other name, but I'm not going to mention it here because it's naughty. And, you know, I, I sculpt stuff. I started 3D printing stuff like four years ago and I was printing other people's stuff. And one day I just decided that I should try to learn something or try to make my own designs. And I started Fusion. I did some Nerf guns and some other stuff. And after a half a year, I decided to, to try to make something organic. So I was playing also in Fusion because it was kind of an easier thing and I wanted to, to jump into something better like ZBrush and, you know, I tried it. I didn't hate it. And that was it. So Z, is ZBrush your, your cat of choice for, for your organic modeling now? Yes, absolutely. Yeah. You've become quite the master at it. Yeah. I love it. Well, I wouldn't say master. I'm, I'm learning every day, learning something new and, and, you know, I'm enjoying it. But I cannot say that I know a lot because it's, it's such a complex software that's, you know, it's going to take me a few years to, to kind of master it. But I know a guy, those guys will make so many new features. So I'm constantly going to be way behind them. That's good. So the development, they've been very good about updates and development on the platform. That's awesome to hear. I haven't really used ZBrush. I've seen it, you know, I've played with it once, but the organic modeling is not my thing. So that's, but I know a lot of people are big fans of it. That's, that's awesome. Yeah. ZBrush is great that they have their free version that people can try and see if they like that kind of stuff. I mean, whoever wants to, to give a shot, it's, it's basically like forming clay, just playing around, but you play, play it on a software and, and like before, before I actually started doing stuff in ZBrush, I was also playing with VR, sculpting and different stuff. I just wanted to see what, what works best for me. You know, for some people, Blender is going to be a great choice. And honestly, if, if, because ZBrush is a pricey software, it's expensive compared to Blender, it's free. So, you know, if, if Blender was at that stage where they are right now, maybe I would go with them because, you know, they do so many cool things also. And, and I know some amazing designers that are using Blender as their tool and it's really great. That's awesome. Yeah. You were, you were, you said you were designing in VR and do you have like a quest or what, what do you use for VR? Well, I have everything. It's everything. Everything. Like I, I have a company that it's making game trailers. So I have to have all the equipment. It's not, it's just excuse to have everything. Good excuse. So, you know, when, when VR, like when HTC Vive came out, we got that and I, I started sculpting in 3D space, which was completely different thing. It's, it's, it's something that everyone needs to try if they get chance to use VR because we, we, we are used to, you know, draw something on paper. It's 2D or EP.  But to be able to sculpt around you and sculpt in, in like it's completely different experience and it's great. So I was, I was testing like every available software just to see what, what works great and and after a while, like I kind of got sick from, from VR.  So unfortunately, I don't use it that often anymore. So there's people in the chat that are, they're asking, they're talking about ZBrush, that there is a, there is a free version, a demo, how does the, how do the tiers of ZBrush work if people want to get into learning it and not feeling like to have to spend a lot of money? Well, now there's a ZBrush core and then that's, that's simplified version. Okay. Before that it, it was sculptures. So you have limited tools, but you can still use it for, for a lot of cool stuff. Like on, on, on ZBrush, YouTube channel, people are using that to show what, what can be done and, and also people can do impressive stuff. But for something more serious, you need to have ZBrush, the, the normal version.  And price was around $850, $900. But, but now you can, you can rent, like you can, you can use it as a monthly subscription. So it's kind of easier. Well, that's good. And it's, I don't know. See, I always, I get frustrated at how everybody wants monthly subscription, but I understand in the software world, how a lot of companies have turned this way. And in a lot of ways, it makes it better because you don't have to worry about, like, well, do I update, you're always using the most recent things. So maybe to a lot of people, that's worth it. But, but as far as the differences between core, like, like, is there enough of a tool set with core to like, like you're saying, getting started, like, what is it that you're getting when you pay? It's like worth the money. Well, uh, I, I don't have opinion about it because I'm using ZBrush. I, I, I'm, I didn't go back to ZBrush core to try it because, you know, I have a tool that works for me and, and I'm sticking to that. So I, I cannot compare. Gotcha. But there's resources online. If people want to look up YouTube videos and stuff, and they can see what the differences are or whatever. That's cool. Yeah, we can check it. I can, I can Lama just commented, there's three versions core, mini core and full. And so there you go. I, I didn't know that. And a lot of people are saying this, is it sculptics? There's Sculptrix Sculptrix Sculptrix is not very good. But, but I mean, you do some just amazing stuff. And this is kind of leading us with the zebra with the ZBrush talk into, I want to pull this up. So you did it kind of like a trailer. I think you called it portfolio day. There you go. And so this is a little bit of, you know, what you do. And this is a, I mean, I love. Yeah. It's so cool that just watching you model is just, I can't do it. So yeah, I love the fast way there. It's just like, see, it's this easy. You know, like, no problem. No problem. And I love that you just grab it right out of the screen and put it on your face. Naturally. Yeah, I like doing that kind of stuff. Like I said, I'm doing game trailers and also I'm working in a company that is making TV commercials. So this is kind of my thing. It's awesome. And, you know, it kind of, this really kind of shows you in 43 seconds, it's your elevator pitch of sorts, of what you do.  So, so clock spring got me hooked. And then I was like, I saw your minis and I'm like, oh, this is, now these are awesome. And I started printing them at work. I have like a, we'll say a couple. I have a problem is what I have at work on my desk, you know, and, and it's really not a problem unless you admit it's a problem. You know, yeah, yeah. Well, I have a Prusa mini on my desk at work.  Oh, look, another one. Okay, grab it, put it in there, you know, let it fly for three hours or two hours or whatever that, you know, whatever. That's really dangerous thing to, to, to try to make any kind of collection. I, I started with Funko. I started with infinity figurines. And then I was like, okay, this is not gonna end well. I need to stop. You're good. No, you don't. No, you don't. And I notice on your wall back there, that's just, I don't know if that's all of your minis. Is it at this point? No, it's not even close, is it? No, so many now. Right. I think there are like 40, 50 there. And I made around 120 so far. It's not even half. It's not even half, not even a third really. That's amazing.   And that's another thing I wanted to pop in here. So he kind of did like a real quick video.  And these are, these are masterpieces. I love how he's got them on a chain. That's so cool. What a great idea. Right. Well, he had them on the chain. Are they not anymore? I don't know. Well, something happened after he shot this video. So maybe he's gonna post it later. Uh-oh. I didn't see, I maybe I'll have to go back and look, but he might actually be with us. He can tell us in the chat, but I mean, let me know in the chat. Have you guys printed any of the guy's masks? I didn't know. I didn't know he did some of those. I have the Ork, one that Tom, uh, film and frenzy said, which is a really a favorite. And then look at that Joker, Scorpion, Scorpion, that Guy Fox one. I don't, I didn't realize you had done that. That's awesome. That's the weirdest thing I did. Like the weirdest result, uh, like every, every mask that I've made, like if you put it on face, you will like people will still be able to recognize you. But this one, because it's face of someone else, it completely changes you. I remember the first time I, I, I, I test print all of the masks before I released them. I, I tried it in front of the mirror and, and it was so awkward because someone else is was looking at me. That's so awesome. Yeah. I cannot show that because, uh, one friend showed up and stole most of my stuff. He stole it. What kind of friend steals your stuff, man? That's not a friend. She showed up one day. It was my kid's birthday and she was like, oh, you know, I have to ask you something, uh, because, uh, she has a store and then she, um, sometimes add some cool stuff in the store, just, uh, uh, for, for people to see something new. She was like, uh, you know, I would like to, to, to get a few of your masks. I'm like, sure, no problem. Just, just grab whatever you need. She took everything. And then the other colleague is like, oh, when is your exhibition? And I'm like, what? What's the vision? Like, yeah, you have an exhibition in the store. Like, okay. So yeah, it's going to take a while until, until I get everything back. I have this one here. You can always print another one. You can always print another one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Sean, see, I don't know, Sean's what to say, but he would love that, the Power Rangers. Yes. Right. Yeah. And this one was actually printed in pieces. Usually I prepare everything for multi material, but I didn't want to wait that long. So I just sliced it and, and assemble it later. Michael Grugel, the fix some dude. Here's $5 for doing an excellent job on that mini Joe crotch. Thanks, Michael. Thanks.  We love saying it too, right? Like I said, if you've printed anything of Webster's while we're talking, let us know in the chat what you've printed. Maybe it's a mask or a mini. Maybe it's a lot of minis.  And if I remember right, Jerry from 3d printing and painting actually posted a diorama of aliens, right? And I think we made a hot take out of this, if I remember, right? Yeah, we did. Yeah. I know you're there.  What was that? Well, okay, then. There we go. That's what I was trying to do. Why, Gary, you've lost weight. I'm going to go die under a rock now. That's right. We're not giving you any more oil. Show us the goodies. Yeah. Can you pop up the hot take we did? I'm here live. I'm not a cat. Yeah, you're not a cat. You're definitely here live. All right, hit it. There's not too much similarity between Rambo and Sigourney here. Also, that Jim, that could be you.  I mean, he's almost got some glasses on that.  I love it. We want to see it. We want to see it. There you go. Challenge thrown down. Challenge thrown down. Yeah.  So I looked at it and I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But then I started thinking about it like, maybe I can actually grab a hat, that hair and do something. Did you actually start with that? Oh, sorry. So he actually, I think it was the end of last week or early this year. I can't remember. Oh, it's the end of last week. He says, hey, I've been sitting on this for a minute, but here you go. And what I got was this. So there's good old Sigourney going on to Jim. It's so beautiful and it's just that easy. Yeah.  You drop it on that right there. And it just poof. I love how the rest of it just kind of appears. Poof. So, well done. I love it. Oh, man. So I, that is hilarious, by the way. So, but then, I mean, first let's go into how hard it was to model this. I mean, I know these locks and no. Each individual strand of hair was tedious, painstakingly modeled. Oh, one more time. I mean, while we're here, I mean, we got to, it was literally what you said to do. Take the hair, drop it on, pull it down. It's almost like it was a plug-in. Yeah. In ZBrush, it was just like Jim. Jimified this. So the actual thing was I grabbed the hair and I have a like template that I'm using, like the base mesh that you've seen, just to be sure that all the minis look more or less the same. And so I took Sigourney's hair and I applied to it and like, okay, this doesn't look okay at all. So I kind of tweaked it and like, okay, I need to see how Jim looks. So I went on YouTube and there was like the welcome video. Yeah. And I paused it and I started adjusting the hair and I looked at it and like, yeah, this looks cool. And then I click on latest video and I noticed from here, hair goes up to here now. Okay, let's just start it again. Oh, so the hair gave you some trouble. You had to model it a couple times, huh? Yeah, yeah. And it's kind of tricky because they are their pill shape models. So, you know, they don't have shoulders. So it's kind of tricky to make hair go in front and back. Yeah. It's these little details that we just don't appreciate as not modelers, you know, like, look at me, I'm just like, oh, how hard could it be? Just all you have to do is just move the hair. No, it's not that simple. You know what's the hardest part about making all of these? Like I started making them. I wanted to make something that's simple to print. And, you know, I was still working in infusion. So I was kind of limited with knowledge and what I could do. So I made kind of like first design. It was Hellboy and then I made Jason. And it was like, okay, I can make more of these. But then with every other that I started, people are asking me about the creators God of War, because they've seen it in one of my YouTube videos when I'm going to release that one. And like in the early stage, I've noticed that I didn't do a good design. I didn't thought it's true. You know, it's like, okay, it works here, it works there. But then when you start applying it to more and more, like different character, it's like, oh, no, no, this doesn't work anymore. Like a Funko Pop. So, you know, they have kind of short hands. And they've noticed when they started posing them that, you know, hands cannot reach and grab, sort of like this. So they had to cheat and extend hands and do that kind of stuff. And I guarantee whoever made the design, it was like, hmm, yeah, I didn't do the good thing. Other thing was when people started asking me to make me like female characters. For a year and a half, I was trying to figure out female characters. And, and, you know, honestly, I still don't like the design I did, because again, I have to limit them. They need to have that form similar to this one. But they also need to have curves. They need to look beautiful.  But when it comes to girls, they are pretty and they need to look pretty. So it's always like, oh, what now, what now? Andrew, as his question, do you use the hair tool or free flow to get, you know, luscious locks like, like the, I use, I use everything. Like I have few different approaches. And I have YouTube channels that I have some tutorials, including her tutorial there. People can see it's youtube.com slash vexer. For this one, I was just applying clay and then like cleaning it, doing some like irregular shapes, trying to make those curls. So if I got to ask, and I want to show you some quick, but how many people like myself, I know Joel has a mini, how many people have a mini? More than than I wanted to make. I told Jim, I'm like, that's how you know, you've made it in this space. Yeah. Wexter has made a mini of you. You've made it. That's a good, it's a good metric. The thing is, I don't like doing minis of people that, you know, like it's easier to make something, some kind of character that everyone knows because they have some trademark outfit and you know, it's so much easier because people like you will do some, some simple features and people will immediately recognize it. But if you have some person that's normal, like any other person, you can make something and 20 different people will, okay, million different people will say like, oh, that's me. See, Jim, you're abnormal enough where you make for a good, I like that you put the facial hair on there too. You get the glasses. I mean, it looks like this. This is, this is what it looks like when you print it.  Yes. So, you know, you got the hair there, it's from the side. I think you got the stomach very proportionate. So that's good. And then, you know, this is glorious.  Nailed the butt. Well, I was going to say the hair. But I would also point out that the crotch very well done. It prints great, no supports. Bridge very cleanly. Yeah.  You made his day. I love it. Yeah. This is amazing.  You've weird out. Yes. Well, that's, that's true. I think the average person might look at that and think it's weird out.  The gym butt. There you go. Hashtag gym butt. So I got a question. Oh, go ahead. Really, really quick. You mentioned, not liking, having a hard time and not being happy with your modeling of the female form. So you've done, Sigourney, have you done any other female characters that you've released so far? Yeah, I did. I mean, I have to get up and I'm in my PJs. So that's okay. We all want to know what you're doing. It's 136 in the morning and you're in your PJs. No, at least he's wearing pants. I mean, that's true. That's true. Yeah. I have you. Oh, Captain Marvel, of course. I did two versions of this one. Okay. What is that one? I'm sorry. I was like, it was, okay, obviously hardly. Yeah, she, oh, okay. And like, my kid likes to test everything. So most of these are like without some of the limbs. Oh, I think this was the first one that I did. See, I can hear what you're saying. I understand that, you know, you want there to be a flattering female form. But I think for these characters, for them to go with your signature look, it's like Funko Pop. You've done an amazing job of creating a style that people see and they go, that's a extra mini. Like there is nobody else doing anything like that. And, you know, I understand what you're saying, but it's like there's an artistic thing to it. I don't think anybody is critical of the fact that these are not exciting female figurines. And in some ways, that's probably better, right? I mean, what do you think? I don't know. I like to complain about my work. You're on your own worst critic, right? Yeah, yeah. I rarely can look at something and tell like, Oh, this is actually nice. You know, I can always see some imperfections and something that I hate.  They make other people happy. So it's like, okay, there's there's definitely motivation. Sure. But but still at the same time, it's like, Oh, I should have made something better. Hey, we love them. And like I said, every time my phone dings me and says, you know, there's a new that you released a Patreon post. I'm just like, what is it? You know, we got to check out what it is. And it's you never disappoint. And you know, we were we were talking and I thought like, hey, he's going to really release this first patrons.  No, he's not releasing that. Yeah.  Yes. There's one thing. Each of mini dudes, they look the same, but they're not. I'm changing the shape of the heads. Because like, three years, I fear out some some stuff that I can do to to kind of achieve some sort of likeness. And, you know, sometimes I'm changing the the where the position of of shoulders or of hands after like up for, I think for Hulk, I did it. So he looks stronger and and that kind of stuff. So one thing wouldn't apply to everything. Sure. Sure.  But I think I think, like you said, Funko Pop does that too. And I think they're still very identifiable as your mini dudes. So, you know, you do a really good job staying true to the, you know, style. I drank. The first thing that I've changed was the crotch. The crotch. Let me show you. So a central format of any Wexter mini dude model is the crotch. Look at that. I mean, so. Yeah. So go back, cut back to Wexter. I'm gonna say the first version. Had different crotch. So it actually is support. So he's more bow legged there. Yeah. Interesting. Sooner or later, I started making like curves. So they're easier to print. You know, what's crazy is I remember when you first started doing these mini dudes, and it didn't feel like it was that long ago. So for you to have hundreds of these that well a hundred plus of these now just speaks to how effective you are as my means the same reason you know that a lot of people watch on the clock spring and other and Lubee and other people that are just like very consistently outputting awesome stuff. You know, you get a lot of value joining Wexter's Patreon. So if you're into this kind of thing, if you're into the masks, you absolutely have to go check out Wexter's Patreon. Thank you percent. Like I said, it was my second ever subscription and I gladly support you and not because this because this didn't exist when I when I joined and but because it's a hell no for going to his Patreon or his patrons. He is going to let us release this model. So stay tuned. Because it makes on the butt. Probably try to do it tonight or tomorrow. I'm going to release the model if it's okay with Wexter on things and things exclusive gift to you. And I'm really pumped to get people out there with the mini gyms and the mini Jim crotch or but whatever you like. I prefer the hair. I have to warn you that there are some people I can see some people here in comments that like to do remixes. So maybe we'll get some addition. It's out there. It's out there. It's out there. Yeah. Lama is going to remix this thing. You know it's going to happen. But you know, I have a problem now. I started printing them and I'm going to have like an army of mini gyms. And then behind me in this in this printer here, there's six on that resin build plate. Well, isn't weird at all. This isn't vanity at all. Here's the problem. I forgot to come out and check on it and ran out of resin.  You know, Jim legs. It stops like right here. Jim torsos. So now we can put our own heads on them. I say you can put the you can put the the I can see them. They just they just retired. He made that he made the helmets removable. They just retired. Just that punk, that punk. We'll make the deaf punk. No, but you maybe we'll do something fun and we'll like looking forward to that, my friend. I don't know. We'll do something fun. But but I know we're we're running late, but check this out. I'll let everybody to know tomorrow on social media as soon as this is up on things. It'll be posted on things as our sponsor and their site is awesome. So not only you'll be able to like turn this thing around and all that, you should be able to do the AR. This is going to be creepy in AR. Like you're like a life-sized mini gym next to somebody, you know. But yeah, so thank you standing underneath it. You really did. You made my you made my day on this one. You made us laugh, which is amazing. And the best part is you did what Pooch said. You took the hair, you brought it over and even though there was a lot more work underneath that, there were a lot of things, but definitely that's Sigourney's hair. I used it. I just made it longer and straightened it. Just ran a comb through it a couple of times. The comb tool. Andrew S is already saying I'm going to have fun with this. So that's a good one. Andrew, I got a scary vore shirt on. He might recognize that from Scotland. But anyways, I think we should jump into hot makes. We talked a little before. So you're going to stick around for some hot makes, right? Yep. All right. Let me get them pulled in. I think we have a sweet bumper. So let's hit it. Now, really quick, Wex, since you do all kinds of stuff like that for your game trailer company and stuff like that, what do you think of our hot makes bumper there? Do you like it? I like the music as well. I'm doing some kind of zombie related. Dude, I don't know why that was happening, but I do a lot of zombie stuff lately. So I'm actually doing a, I just finished one trailer for a zombie game and now I'm making three trailers for another three zombie games. And I'm using that kind of music what you guys have here. So it's like, it fits me. I like it. It's perfect. Zombie is just so hot right now. Just a quick heads up before we go forward with hot makes. If you are watching on the edge of tech channel, it looks like there's about 30 of you. Jump over to the hot makes channel. You got to be on the hot makes channel to win today. Cut the feed. After this week, this will be the last week that we're going to simulcast on the edge of tech as well. And so you guys got to be over there, but we have, we have an amazing audience. We have what looks like 112 people watching currently, but and I see about 30 of you over on the edge of tech. Also, I've been posting the giveaway links. Jump in there if you want to be part of the giveaways tonight.  So let's do it. So just really quick on that. Like just if you guys jump on YouTube and just do a search for hot makes, it should pull up the new channel and we're, I believe just on the cusp of actually being able to do our vanity title and stuff like that. So we need your help by coming on and getting the subscriber base up so we can get monetized, so we can get our vanity piece and all that stuff. So we appreciate you guys helping with that. Nice. Well, I and someone said when I record, let's see, when I get the edge of techs going live, that's when I usually jump in. So hopefully you'll jump over to the hot makes channel, hit that subscribe button, hit that thumbs up for liking it. But most of all, hit the bell, the bell, the bell when we go live over here too. So all right, you'll recognize this. I mean, this was Willow. She is phenomenal. We had her on a few months ago, a month or two ago now. But she's doing these, she's calling them scale mail. She's doing printed scales. We saw her chain mail, right? This is printed scales now. And it's the same idea as the, you know, as the chain mail, but as scales. This is phenomenal. So clean. I mean, and we've seen David Shory do this kind of thing too in the past. He's got kind of more of a like a more of a print on fabric. Quite the same. Yeah, where he does it on fabric, but this is a completely resin print, right? Yep. Yeah. So it all prints like that. I know Uncle Jesse, he did a really good video on the chain mail. And it is a fun video. He showed his fails and successes, which is really great. But basically, you know, she walks through removing all the supports and, and I mean, all in all, if you're into cosplay, this is, this is awesome. And it's not that long to print this because it's not tall, you know? Yeah. Yeah, that's man.  So it's like massive build volume for, for resin. Look at that. That's a sweet mat of scales you got there. It is.  There you go. The print time was three minutes and 30 seconds, or I mean, sorry, three hours, 30 minutes. That's the same. Yeah. Yeah, right. Three minutes and 30 seconds. Wow. It's that 8K screen, you know? But yeah, I mean, I just love her work and I love that you know, three and a half hours you have a set of scales. I mean, imagine what you could do in a couple of days.  No, that'd be interesting. Did you, was there any, I hadn't followed up on this, but is there, is there a technique for actually linking like sheets of the scales together? She and her posts, let's see. Oh, she put the STLs out here too, which is amazing. STL bro. On things, by the way. Good looking out. Good looking out, Willow. But I believe she posted, I believe she posted some stuff about putting them together or using them, but it's phenomenal. So nice work, Willow. We're going to keep rolling, but I love it. Abby, wouldn't be a hot mix without an Abby Brown post, right? Right. She's a staple now. Yeah. I think she purposely trolls us with their awesome, awesomeness. You know what, people can troll us with awesome all day long, man. That's right. It's not trolling. That's the participating. There you go. This is, how many colors do you see? I printed this on a palette two with only four colors. And this is what she printed here. Did you see this, Wex? Did you see this post? Isn't this a neat technique? Yeah.  I was working in a press company and, you know, mixing colors, creating stuff in that way. It's like the way how everything should work. Usually in press, you four colors, basic four colors, and you mix them and you get all the other colors. So that's how everything should be in the future. Only four colors and print everything. If you want something additional, something fancy, you just add more colors. I mean, isn't that, it's just a trip to see how, I mean, obviously we've known that color mixing works for years and years, but just amazing to me how dramatic that seems with just that little bit of shading applied. Basically, she says, I created new colors by printing a single layer at 50 percent infill and on top of a solid layer of a different color. Yeah, because if she added more, it would just cover color. Right, right. And then here's kind of what you see here. Yeah, that's a great little color swatch. Yeah, she designed a model to print all 16 combinations. And I mean, this takes time to figure this out and do. And this is really cool how you can just change your colors by adding a little 50 percent infill on top of one. What's interesting to me, and I don't want to step on what Abby, because she used the palette too with this. But then, I don't know if you saw Bill Steele later in the week, and I don't know if it made it in hot weeks this week. We may have to do a follow up next week, but did a very similar thing. And I don't know if they were collaborating or if it was just like the collective subconscious where they were both kind of working on the same thing at the same time. But he had a very similar post where he was doing a very similar technique, although it didn't seem like it was as dramatically cross hatched as some of the ones that Abby had done. I'll have to look that up.  So yeah, if I didn't already tag it, I'll make sure to go back and look at it. And we can look at it next week. But it really opens up some interesting possibilities. So obviously, we're seeing more and more MMU style printers out there. And, you know, people have been talking about color mixing, you know, the way that we do CMYK for 2D printing for a long time. And nobody's really, you know, when you're talking about trying to blend it in the nozzle, you know, that creates all kinds of complexities. But I think this technique is actually really interesting. But obviously, there's limitations to the how you how your model can print with it. It's not like it's not like doing a blend of the color for an actual three dimensional object. And she said she used 13 colors in this, or there are 13 colors, which is awesome. Just imagine what 3 will do, man. That's going to be awesome. Yeah, wait, this, oh man. Oh, yeah. I love this so much. Yeah, go ahead and explain it. Go ahead. The Zotrop, you know, this was this is something next time we've got Travis, a power design on here, because he's like the Zotrop master now. Right. But a lot of times you guys have seen this sometimes I know, like, there's a great display of these at our local children's museum, the concept.  And then when you look through a slit with it lit a certain way, you get this effect. But this is a really neat 3D application of basically the same concept, right? And and there's some there's some other tips and tricks. So this is a legit Zotrop. It looks like where you're actually looking through the slit on the side. But or maybe not. This this looks like it's using the rolling shutter effect. Although I can't tell. Yeah, he pops it open. That's one of the best ones I've ever seen. It's phenomenal. Such a cool effect. And it's lit. It's literally lit. Dang, what do you think of that, Wexter? I love that kind of stuff. I want to try it once. To do some simple animation. See just just to test it out to see how it works. Because this this kind of like experiments are are so good and and so rewarding if you can if you can pull them out. It's like amazing. 100%. Like I'm I'm I'm mostly modeling the stuff that that you guys have seen. But when it comes to 3D printing that what blows my mind is is stuff that exactly that stuff that you have showed right now. All the all the like different techniques people what what can do like playing with different colors and resin mixing colors in this way it's it's something that you know I like that people are are using something and going like going making something so much better showing people that they can do something different and and that's gonna you know just explode in someone else's head and that person is gonna take that idea and make something again something so so awesome. It's contagious. You're absolutely right. We inspire each other and that's what the show is all about. You know it's like we appreciate what other people do and it triggers all kinds of interesting ideas and other people. That's fantastic. Battlecry is absolutely correct right there. Next we got Filament Frenzy. How are we doing on time? There's a there's a pill for that Battlecry by the way. It's also a movie. So we got so we got Filament Frenzy. He says we've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's what makes us who are who we are. So these are the new Luby unicorns right. And of course he threw his spin on them and they're amazing because there's you know the the light and the dark ones and I I mean this stuff is always awesome but I love seeing the contrast in these two together. What do you guys think? Have you seen these yet? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Like you couldn't miss that. It was everywhere and and and I absolutely love those. I've seen the you know the first one that she released was was this white one and he was like oh this is cool and then she released a dark one and like oh this is my thing. I love that one so much. It's a really cool design. Yes. Yeah. She released something today as well. Yeah she did. Yeah. Yeah. And you know she another you know just prolific amazing modeling abilities and and and a lot of value on her patreon as well because she's constantly releasing new new stuff. The you know resonant she's and I love that she is focused also on making it easy to print without supports and thinking about you know making it easy on people to to get good results. Right. Right. Absolutely. And and I think we've already said that her model is amazing and everything I love her models in general. I just now I the thing is I got to get these now because they're so awesome. When I look at these two everything is different. Every detail is is like the shape of of the nose the mouth everything like she didn't just grab one model and and tweaked it. She made a completely different thing and that's what I absolutely love about these two. They fit in the same world but they are completely different. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm sure you as a as a sculptor have a good appreciation like I hadn't even noticed that but you know she changed up all the armor and even the the muscular definition of the the unicorn itself is different and all sorts of interesting stuff. Facial hair. Yes. Yeah. Great job. Absolutely. And I think I'm just looking at perfect movie here. Nice work. I think what we got to do is we got a lot of giveaways to get through. So let's break it here. All of the links that we have everything we showed today plus plus more all the stuff that was tagged is all in the description of the video. If you go down you'll see a Google doc you can go in there look for episode 57. I believe this is episode 57. Wow. Look for the look for the link dump and you'll see a bunch of stuff that was tagged and a bunch of stuff we couldn't we didn't have time to show yet either.  I'm showing it. That's right. I'm showing it. Keep them coming. Hashtag hot makes. Right. If if you see something awesome out there on Twitter on Instagram even if it's on other things you can obviously do shares reposts on either of those platforms. Just hashtag hot makes you know you see it down here all the time and we'll pull it up on the show and share it with everybody and who knows what it'll inspire in the next right. That's right. So I got a shout out Scott Latine's with us. I mean Scott my mastermind of Marlin. Mr. Marlin. Yeah. Mr. Marlin and I almost I was at last week one of the last couple of weeks I wore my my Marlin shirt. I almost wore it again and I realized I wore it a couple of weeks ago. But so it's time to wash it as well. Yeah. Yeah. So while while we're talking to chat I don't know if Scott's going to go or not but I'll be at Murph and about a month. So it come down and have fun with us. We'll be there all weekend. We'll have a lot of fun there. If you're going to be in Murph in Goshen, Indiana. Let us know in the chat. I'd love to meet you too.  What else we got? We got giveaways. Let's get some stuff away. Where do we start? Let's start with let's start with the filament crate. How about that? Let's do it. Wexter is your guest. I don't as a special guest. I don't know if you know but you get to either spin the wheel or push the button depending on how we're doing our giveaway. So Gary Gary will set us up for that in a second. But first we're going to unbox the crate so we can open it up and use a little bit of it first to make sure it's good for you guys. I'm going to test it. Actually what I'm going to do is open it in a link so we can talk a little bit about actually I'm going to pull it up and drop it in our private chat if if someone could drop us on the screen and maybe we could just talk about it while I'm going through because I probably can't do both because well you know. All right we got I could do both. It might just take us all day. So uh linkify the linky link please Gary. Yeah yeah. Then we can talk uh talk a little bit about the box. So this comes from 3D printing gear. It is a it's called the filament crate. Filament crate. They reached out. They gave us five of these to give away one uh one each over the next five weeks. And it comes in a box like this. I pulled my uh address off and all that but but you can see it you know comes like that and the box here. Very nice. And it came it came it looks like it came uh let's see USPS. So there's that and as I pop it open maybe pooch I don't know if you can read what he's uh showing there or not but um. It's very tiny. Yeah. Let's say it's a monthly subscription box. Every month they're going to send you a box of 3D filament sourced by goons like you wait no that's not right.  Oh geeks thank you Webster. I love how we're counting on the Croatian to handle reading. Yeah the English better than so it looks like it's what 25 bucks 24. Yes 24 99 and what do we have inside there Jim. I popped it open and this is how it came on the inside. Maybe there you go. Oh cool it's and it's using a laser cut spools. Yeah. So I believe on your first box it says you get a laser cut reusable spool. Very nice. Very nice.  Okay that's that's kind of cool. Okay I like that. Yeah that's a really cool idea and then inside I believe it says if you read on there it tells you you get a quite a good sample um how much it I'd have to go back. Okay so they come in coils and then you can just pop the end and load them onto the coil and go. Yeah one two three four it looks like five samples so that's and what's the weight what's the weight on those are the 250 or 100 gram. Yeah it doesn't say I know the website says so that's why well the the website went away so I got it right give me one second. It looks like it is 20 meters long there's five samples at 20 meters long. Okay it's like the height of a six-story building it says um six stories of filament. So so those of you that are not metric that's 65 feet seven inches and there's seven and three eight inches per sample. It's a modest it's a modest skyscraper you know. Yeah yeah so um it'll basically it'll select uh five filament samples and a sticker and the and the laser cut so if you pop back over there we go. There's the sticker which is it's a solid sticker very nice. So real quick in in this particular box we had matter hackers this is the build series and I mean enough to print a mini gym. That's definitely no any number of other wicks. It looks like we have a ziltec uh cookie love that's what this color is called cookie love yeah um cookie love. We have amazon basics neon green so let's see if I can focus off me there we go. Love me the let me the basics. One thing that I'm seeing is the sample print in each one. I really like that. That's a nice touch. So in each one you get a little sample print. Okay um to kind of see you know what your mini gym is going to look like when you print it. Nice. What else we got we got uh sunshine yellow by toner basics and some of the stuff I've never heard of toner basics so it's kind of fun to get extra stuff and that's kind of a really nice yellow. And this is all 175 filament? Yep yep awesome. And also uh this has all been PLA I believe as well um we just double check. I believe it's all PLA. Is it is it always going to be PLA or is it sometimes they're going to give you something? Um we would have to look at the I believe it's PLA yeah we'll have to ask him because it doesn't say it's not PLA. It's not not PLA. Yeah it's not not um okay the last one is a coax mystery color in this particular case it is clear. It's probably what what coax mystery is if I can show you that's kind of peculiar.  When they get done spooling uh like that as many rolls as their vat will hold they start spooling mystery colors and it goes from like a solid into a clear. Oh so it's a transition. So yeah then it goes transition into the next color and this particular one must have been in that middle of the transition so I get I get coax mystery spools all the time they're they're they're super cheap like 20 bucks this right around there 18 bucks and you don't you don't know what color you're going to get when you get it but it's awesome filament and um it's kind of fun to spend that wheel of roulette to see what what color. Well not only that but it's it's good that it's less wasteful right because otherwise I you know I've seen a lot of a lot of companies just end up discarding that stuff because it's purge and they don't need it and for for a lot of people if you don't care what the color is are you going to paint it right yeah why not save a little money support the fact that the company is actually trying not to be wasteful. For sure. So you get five five uh samples right there 20 meters long 65 feet seven and three eight inches if you're not metric. Um so yeah it don't forget that three eighths of an inch at the end. Yeah that I love it. Uh so what we're gonna do is we're going to pull up the things wheel of names we're going to spend everything on the things wheel of names tonight. Um I just need to get it over and it's over so we don't show anything we don't want to show. And how many are we giving away one tonight one of those we have we have five totals so we'll do this for the next five weeks and so what we'll do is we need your info now I believe this particular one double check I believe this is us only I'll double check that um I believe this is us only though uh sorry Wax yeah right okay just making sure um you got a filament though you got some filament right now yeah hopefully your friend didn't take your filament too no I never have enough because like this is true my wife wanted uh she she has seen some self watering planters so I printed one and then her mom saw one and sister-in-law saw one so you know maybe I'm gonna need a lot of filament soon those are the ones that uh that me close was featuring on Prusa the other day yeah that was a great model I love yeah they're really cool I have some already here we're gonna roll this right now uh remember this is us only so we'll check uh I have the spreadsheet open we'll just do quick checks um and the reason why is it's not cheap to ship outside the U.S. and they're based here so we have we have stuff for uh everyone oh everyone coming up too I promise so here we go oh you know what pull it up oh no it was too late I spun it on accident you are no we're spinning again doesn't count ah okay fine it counts let's just just Simmons is it lucious or luscious I guess if it was luscious there would be an ass I'm sorry lucious um but are they in the are they in the U.S. and are they here and are you here make yourself now lucious uh United States I see it's United States are you here I hope we don't give you very long because we have to keep moving also you gotta let Wex spin the next one you broke the rule so someone says someone says us only as usual nothing special actually I beg to differ every gift card we give from amazon is worldwide and that's every week we are special you could have a mini gym uh lucious are you here no no no I hope so no well let's get uh oh dsk it's dsk oh no wait a minute it's all about you know what let's go on to the next thing and then we can spin for this one again if he doesn't make himself known yeah I don't know I don't know if dsk is him I think that's a joke no no no no I think I think that's a joke let's Fernando no yeah dsk is not I love I love that you just called him out no that's your name you're not fooling anybody I can't tag uh he was he was with me he was alive we're gonna we're gonna reroll because I don't see him here we're just gonna reroll it right now here we go spit sorry sorry lucious what else we got who else today like like 3dp are you uh are you us look I hope I hope you're here let us know yep USA wait lucious so okay this is getting complicated lucious Simmons is here oh lucious Simmons is here on the edge of tech chat oh now you've done it Joe what do we do uh we give Mike 3dp the next prize obviously and Mike 3dp is here we can do that how about that let's give lucious because you were here uh we'll let you have anybody we'll let you have it and then Mike 3dp Mike 3dp um let me jump over to my spreadsheet so many prizes tonight uh what do we got so lucious uh there we go Mike 3dp you were the first winner because we went ahead before we saw lucious there um on for the full amount $25 gift card so what that is next we'll talk about that real quick so full of it actually just started some some filament subscriptions where you actually can order roles of subscription uh sorry and um maybe you should read the comments I mean yeah I don't don't like to disappoint people but some people are actually right what they're right oh yeah we did say only on the hot makes channel oh yeah I forgot about yeah yeah you're right you're right we hey we are nothing if not just and fair here we did say that we did say that you're right you said he was on he was on the lucious was on the edge of tech so unfortunately oh mapped on a technicality see that's why we need you guys over on the new channel you know we I know that seems a little confusing that we're simulcasting but we're doing this because we are in transition so we appreciate last week we're doing this too next week we're not we're not doing this again so hopefully this won't become an ongoing problem that's right this this would be the last week of this so what do we do we're I think we have to abide by the rules it's not fair to everybody else that's abiding by the rules here we yeah so that's good we're all out we gotta follow them no matter what from this point forward uh Geary can you post a new channel real quick right away um if you are not over and we said this earlier in the stream a couple times if you're not over on the hot makes new channel uh when we do this it doesn't count so we said that earlier you're right thank you chat for calling that out um and it won't matter next week because we're not simulcasting we're going to be everyone over on the hot makes channel so so come on over there quick now we're going to keep rolling the next thing we have is full of mint full of mint is a company here in the USA um in this particular one is USA only only because a $25 gift card is awesome we could give it to anyone around the world because they do ship the problem is a $25 gift card will just crush you in shipping so I mean it's so expensive to ship right now around the world and I was talking to him about it and if we give you 25 bucks you can you can buy a roll of filament and I mean that's you're gonna have to pay for the filament essentially because the shipping is too expensive and I don't want to do that to you guys so this one for sure um light speed you might be let me just go look here light speed you look like you're on I don't know where you are someone's asking what channel am I on so go ahead put the link and go to the new channel that's all you have to know um so I'll put that in the hot makes chat oh you posted it everywhere we just posted a second ago I'll post it again so anyways full of mint is a is an awesome company they got to do us only on this one just because the price to ship outside won't make the gift card worth anything to you I mean it's doesn't make sense for these guys there for you so subscription uh you can start new subscriptions with them though and it actually is pretty awesome they lowered their filament costs recently um they were kind of high at 40 bucks a roll I believe for their mat filament that is dropped to 30 now and if you haven't printed with their mat filament is awesome I had a couple videos on on it and I absolutely love it so they dropped out to 30 that's really cheap for Matt it's not easy to find Matt filament and it's good Matt they have a bunch of colors too and so they dropped it down to I think it's 29.99 um and then I believe their um PLA and PETG dropped down to 21.99 so but which is great so then what this does is if you want to sign up for a subscription say you know you're going to go through two rolls of filament um maybe you want them to live in every month or every other month or however you set it up to do it you can sign up um I'll have this all in the description of the video here when we're done because it's a lot easier to look at it but you can sign up for a subscription so basically you can say yeah I want black and blue and red send it to me every two months or three months and then they'll do it automatically for you and if you do that there's a code that you can put in to save you 10 bucks right right in the beginning and then from then on uh you I believe it's uh 24.99 a roll if you get into the subscription so they knock another five bucks off that and uh which is pretty dang awesome um and if if you do uh let's see they also are doing subscriptions on PLA and PETG that's not mat and that's 10 off of the normal price 15 off any resin bottles um and then if you go to washable or engineering grade resin it's 12 and a half percent if you do the the subscription thing so if you're somebody that uses this filament a lot this will actually save you some good money 10 bucks off your first order um and there's a code it's it's subscribe is the code but we'll put this all in the uh you know the description of the videos that way you guys can actually see it when we're done but full of it uh thank you so much I love the mat filaments awesome I did uh I have a bunch of stuff but it's right over there um I did some videos and and I wanted the clock spring roller van it was awesome and that stuff too but check it out if you haven't already we're going to give away eight 25 gift cards um we're going to do them like pretty quick here so make sure it looks like there's 16 people still on the edge of tech channel

My name is Durva Naik. I'm a fourth year PhD candidate from Carnegie Mellon University from the Department of Material Science and Engineering at College of Engineering. I come from a small coastal town in India called Karwa. Well, I participated last year and I did not qualify for the finals because of a small hiccup during my speech. So this time around my aim was to finish my speech and winning came as an added accomplishment. So I work on ingestible intestinal retentive devices and one of the things that I had to analyze is the dynamic muscular movements of our small intestine. So I was going through these YouTube videos and it's so weird that the small intestine is like an organism by itself. I could see it moving and if you ever get a chance or the heart to check it out on YouTube, you should really do it. It'll gross you out but it's very exciting to see. Research at Carnegie Mellon is very collaborative. You can network with people who are working on exciting new research. There's always new equipment that you can work on so that is quite thrilling for me.
