This week we are joined by Robert of @Armored_Turtle-RK who we met at @rmrrf where he showed us his awesome project 8-Track, an OPEN SOURCE AMS compatible with ANY Klipper Printer! We figured a podcast is better than a short interview, so buckle up as we dive into what makes this possible! From the Owner: Robert Klotz - I make and share a wide variety of 3d printed projects, most notably 8-Track. 8-Track is a modular automated filament changing system. At it's core it as simple as a lane based MMU can get. Being modular 8-track is not only scalable but can employ from the most basic of features to full fledged spool management and inventory. 8-Track is a WIP.

This is the third and final episode in our mini-series on Sabbath. Austin Catalano has been with Gina the last two episodes - and she's here once again! Austin has become convinced that all disciples of Jesus should consider the instruction of the Lord for His people to take a weekly (and literal 24 hour) Sabbath. This is something she has been doing now for some time, and she has been very honest with us about how reluctant she was to do this - and how hard it was at first. Like all of us, she's busy - busy being a wife and mom, a school leader, and a house church leader. On this episode, she gives us some helpful insight into how to not only press-in to sabbath ourselves, but how to as disciple-makers encourage and lead others in this practice as well.www.3dmovements.com"Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest" by Ruth Haley Barton"Invitation to Retreat" by Ruth Haley Barton

In a recent conversation a buddy asked me a question: If you cut open an apple, can you count how many seeds are in it? Of course you can, but how many apples will those seeds produce if properly taken care of? This is the concept of playing the long game when it comes to business. Invest in the growth of your team, your clients, your leads, etc. and watch your orchard grow! Topics to cover: Why should I be playing the long game for sales? Why not just get paid and move on?

This episode begins a 3-part series on the Sabbath where Gina and Austin Catalano talk about how important it is to rest and press-in to the God-given gift of Sabbath so that we can live a balanced Jesus-Shaped Life. Austin is a familiar voice on this podcast, and she's back to talk about the importance of Sabbath - mainly because she's studied it at length and because she fought against the concept of Sabbath keeping for a long time like most of us probably do! She is a wife, mother, school leader, house church leader, and Sabbath keeper, and she has so much to offer us as we think about our own work/rest rhythm and the importance of taking advantage of the gift of Sabbath that God offers us.www.3dmovements.com"Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest" by Ruth Haley Barton"Invitation to Retreat" by Ruth Haley Barton

Product testing is how you find flaws, get user feedback, and make small iterations before a product goes live. It is PIVOTAL to do it correctly or a potentially good product could be stifled by a bad engineering decision that was not found on initial internal testing. Both external and internal testing are important, and this week we have @CanuckCreator joining us to talk all about beta testing, our experiences with the @peopoly Magneto X, working with teams to develop both hardware and firmware and why this is incredibly important!

Recently, the leaders of 3DM North America gathered to worship, pray, learn, and talk about the vision of the movement. Some of our leaders presented short "TED Talks," and on this episode, we are featuring one of them. Austin Catalano who is a wife, mother, school leader and house church leader spoke about how parents can think and parent missionally as they raise their kids. Specifically, her challenge is for parents to consider ways that they can prepare their children to grow into missional adults. Austin's talk was so powerful and helpful that we are sharing it with you - and then our host and director of 3DM North America, Gina Mueller, chimes in to share her thoughts about missional parenting.3DM Website: www.3dmovements.com

When it comes to being a disciple and making disciples, what are you? Are you more a theologian or more a practitioner? Most of us are one or the other, but Gina's guest on this episode helps us see the importance of being both. David Broberg is the Assistant Director of Discipleship at Gordon–Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts, so - for sure - he's a theologian. But, he's also been in a 3DM Huddle where he was sharpened in his disciple-making practices and called it 'life changing!" So, he's a theologian and a practitioner as well! David shares how important it is to be both in discipleship and disciple-making, and he shares some stories from his neighborhood where he and his wife have seen God at work.www.3dmovements.com www.3dmovements.com/podcast Recovering the Way by Bob Rognlien

3D Printing itself is not as difficult as you think, but we see a VERY common pitfall in 3D Printing: Design. The tech around printers has gotten SO GOOD, but the learning curve for design is still pretty vertical. Knowledge bases are seemingly always outdated and getting started is daunting and with programs like @adskFusion changing their UI often, even tutorials a few months old are not very useful. So, let's talk about this, and how we may look to solve it, because unlocking your ability to #3ddesign will unlock your ability to 3D Print without frustration!

What happens when a family who is new to a town - a town where it's "weird" for neighbors to get together - park their grill in their front yard and fire it up? Actually, pretty cool things happen - like laughter, sharing, new friendships, and even "church!" This is the story of Gina's guests on this episode. Rob and Kelly Abrams hold family-on-mission as a high value, so when they moved their family from New Jersey to Maine a few years back, they came with a plan!

Patents, a dirty word in the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing industries for hobbyists, but as you get closer to professional and industrial, they become a part of doing business. You can use a patent in a way that benefits a community as a whole or as a way to stifle competition and maintain market superiority. Let's talk about how patents can protect innovations and drive growth, particularly for small businesses transitioning from hobby to full-time ventures in the 'making' space. But there are some potential drawbacks, including limitations on creativity and the risk of stifling industry-wide innovation. Topics to cover: How patents were originally intended How patents are currently used How the PTAB has hurt small inventors How to use patents correctly Why patents are often used to hurt rather than help AND MORE!!! __________________________________ Do you have an idea you want to get off the ground?

This week we dive back into the $$$ of running a business, with the difference between Markup and Margin. Knowing these terms is essential for any small business wanting to keep an eye on their finances, but not knowing what separates them, and why that matters can make you grossly overestimate your profit.

Gina's guest is Steve Bruns who leads a 3DM-like network of missional church movements from his home base in Norway called Agenda1. Agenda1 is a relational network of churches on a journey together to build missional churches that transform cultures by making disciples who make disciples in the power of the Holy Spirit. Sounds familiar, huh?!Under Steve's leadership, Agenda1 currently has fourteen Learning Communities in Norway with around 130 groups representing 80 churches from many denominations. And, they've also spread their disciple-making influence to churches in Myanmar, the Philippines, Nepal, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, Finland, several countries in Africa, Cuba and even the United States!Steve is here to share some amazing stories of how God is at work raising up everyday people in Asia to be disciples who make disciples, and he has a few important words for us here in North America about the things he's learned from the explosive missional movements he's a part of worldwide.Resources:3DM Web Site: www.3dmovements.com3DM Fall Workshops: www.3dmovements.com/workshops3DM Fall Learning Communities: www.3dmovements.com/l-cAgenda1 Web Site: www.agenda1.no

A few episodes ago we discussed 3DMovements, a national ministry that helps churches create disciple making cultures. Now, we've asked Gina Mueller (Director of 3DM) back to talk about a great opportunity for you to experience their process before making a commitment, through "taster" workshops!To learn more about these workshops, go to 3DMovements.com!

This week's episode is part two of our interview from last week with Sean Blomquist, coach, mentor, "rabbi," and is on the leadership team with the San Francisco branch of 3 Dimensional Ministries, or 3DM. He's worked hard to frame the discipleship journey in the way of Jesus, the journey to the cross, or the "Jesus-shaped journey." They talk about freeing people from the bondage of feeling like you have to answer every question as a church planter, the hero's journey for the church planter and pastor, and about entering into the journey of formation in a way that embraces the formation instead of running away from it.
