Now that it’s aired, I can embed the video right here:
We shot a timelapse of the Thing-O-Matic printing the show’s logo and showed off a bunch of the 3d prints I’ve made.

Cool! Thanks for that. Glad to see they’ve come to a reasonable price point. What’s next?

Thanks for sharing this John! Super cool!
