I have a blade blank that I bought from Heinnie which I haven’t yet made a handle for. As I am getting more and more into 3D printing I thought – why not 3D print my own knife handle – so this is my attempt at created a knife handle from design through to printing. […]

In this second test using the ‘Temperature Tower’ I have adjusted my model to improve the simplicity of the test and removed the overhang that was making the model unstable. There are three separate towers, one square, one round and one star-shaped with a number of cutouts to check the print accuracy at different temperatures. […]
In my previous ‘Overhang Test’ on the Artillery Sidewinder X1 I noticed the print was ‘stringy’. I tried adding retraction and this didn’t work so I wondered if this was something to do with print temperature and the best way of checking this is to come up with another test. In this video I create […]
I bought the ICE Filaments ‘Obstinate Orange’ because I have other filaments by ICE and I liked the vibrancy of the colour and I had a very specific project in mind – our logo. In this video I show how I created the 3D object in Blender, used boolean modifiers to cut out the text […]
In this video I attempt to print the simple cone model that I created in Blender in a previous video. The aim is to start with very simple 3D printed models and as I learn how the 3D printer works slowly progress onto more sophisticated models. Needless to say, this doesn’t go as I had […]
Although I can’t wait to start printing more complicated and sophisticated 3D models, it is my intention to start small with simple shapes and models so that I can get to better understand the Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D printer and how it works. I am as new to Blender as I am to the 3D […]
