Podcasts about Thingiverse

E se o próximo grande império do áudio nascesse numa garagem brasileira, com cheiro de café e um toque de perfume artesanal?Imagine a cena: você está em uma sala escura, o relógio marcando meia-noite, e o prazo para entregar aquele projeto insano está te encarando como um predador faminto.De repente, um som cristalino corta o silêncio — não é o chefe gritando no WhatsApp, mas um fone de ouvido que te transporta para outro planeta.Agora, segure essa imagem e jogue um plot twist: esse fone não veio da Apple, nem da Bose, nem de um galpão high-tech em Silicon Valley. Ele nasceu no Brasil, feito à mão, com suor, criatividade e uma pitada de ousadia que faria Don Draper acender um cigarro e dizer: “Isso, sim, é um movimento de gênio.”Bem-vindos ao Growth Diaries Content Experience, onde a gente destrincha histórias que o mercado mainstream ainda não pescou no radar. E no próximo episódio do Growth Diaries Podcast Experience, eu, Victor Mignone, vou sentar com João Salles, o cara que está ajudando a a chutar o traseiro de gigantes como Beats e Bose — tudo isso sem sair do quintal tupiniquim.Pegue seu café, energético, chá (ou seu whisky, sem julgamento), porque esse business case vai te fazer repensar o que é possível quando a necessidade vira o motor da inovação.Quer ter acesso a um Business Case exclusivo da Kuba Audio? Inscreva-se por apenas R$9,90Um Underdog com Alma de RockstarVamos direto ao ponto: a Kuba Audio não é só uma empresa de fones de ouvido. É uma rebelião em forma de negócio. Enquanto Beats e Bose jogam bilhões em campanhas com rappers e estádios lotados, a Kuba faz o impensável: cresce seu faturamento 100% year over year em 1 ano e meio, com produção 100% artesanal, lotes limitados e um lead time que desafia a lógica do “entrega em 24h” da Amazon.Como? João Salles me deu a pista numa conversa que foi mais reveladora que um solo de guitarra num show de rock: “A gente nasceu da necessidade, cara. Quando você não tem grana sobrando, ou você se vira, ou vira estatística.”E se virar, eles viraram. Mas antes de mergulhar no como, deixa eu te pintar o quadro do porquê isso importa.O Som Tem Cheiro?Vamos começar com uma confissão: eu quase comprei - na verdade ainda estou namorando - um fone da Kuba. Tava lá, carrinho cheio, cupom na mão, mas o universo disse “não” — ou melhor, o estoque disse “já era”.E sabe o que me deixou mais intrigado? Não foi só o som.Foi o perfume. Sim, você leu certo. A Kuba tá lançando um perfume exclusivo pra quem já é cliente, um cheiro que vem nas caixas dos fones e agora vai virar um produto à parte. É como se eles dissessem: “Não basta ouvir bem, você tem que cheirar a exclusividade.”Enquanto Beats enfia graves na sua cara e Bose te vende precisão cirúrgica, a Kuba te entrega uma experiência que mistura som, cheiro e uma vibe de “você não encontra isso em qualquer esquina”.E o melhor? Eles cresceram bizarramente seu faturamento em apenas 1 ano e meio; tudo isso com produção artesanal, lotes que esgotam mais rápido que ingressos de show do Coldplay e um lead time que desafia a lógica do “chega amanhã”.Como? João me deu a chave num papo que foi mais revelador que um plot twist de Tarantino: “A gente não tinha escolha, cara. Ou virava o jogo, ou virava piada.”Gigantes x ArtesãosPense no mercado de áudio como um ringue de luta livre. De um lado, os pesos-pesados: Beats, com seu branding de rua e graves que fazem o chão tremer; Bose, com engenharia de ponta e um exército de engenheiros de jaleco.Do outro, a Kuba, uma empresa brasileira que monta fones à mão, com custo de produção nas alturas e uma operação que parece gritar “desafio aceito” para cada obstáculo. O cliente médio olha e pensa: “Por que eu pagaria R$ 1.300 num fone da Kuba se posso pegar um Bluetooth de R$ 200 na Shopee?”Aí entra o gênio da coisa. A Kuba não compete no preço. Ela joga num tabuleiro que os gigantes esqueceram que existe: exclusividade, alma e uma conexão emocional que transforma clientes em fãs — e fãs em defensores da marca.“A Kuba transforma necessidade em inovação e escassez em desejo”Um Davi Brasileiro no Ringue dos GoliasO fato é: o mercado de áudio é uma selva. Produção 100% brasileira, artesanal, com custo nas alturas e uma operação que parece gritar “eu teimo em existir”. O cliente olha e pensa: “R$ 1.300 num fone? Tá louco? Com R$ 200 eu pego um genérico na Shopee e ainda sobra pra cerveja.”Aí é que mora o pulo do gato. A Kuba não joga no preço. Ela joga na alma. E, meu amigo, alma é o que falta nos fones plastificados que entopem os marketplaces. Já qualidade, bem, fica muito a desejar. Criar comunidade em torno do produto é o game-changer.Escassez como Arma e Perfume como PoesiaJoão me contou que a Kuba poderia ter batido um faturamento de oito dígitos, mas esbarrou num “detalhe”: eles não conseguem produzir mais rápido. Em vez de chorar o leite derramado, transformaram o limão em caipirinha. Produção em lotes? Virou gatilho de escassez. “Quer um fone da Kuba? Corre, porque só tem 100 nesse drop.” Preço subindo a cada lote? Exclusividade na veia. “Se você não pegar agora, vai pagar mais — ou ficar sem.”Mas o golpe de mestre vem agora: eles estão lançando um perfume. Isso mesmo, um perfume exclusivo para clientes Kuba. Não é só um cheiro — é uma experiência sensorial que começou como um mimo nas caixas dos fones e virou um símbolo de comunidade. Imagine o cara na rua sentindo o perfume e pensando: “Pô, esse aí é da tribo Kuba.” É como um distintivo secreto, um easter egg que gamifica o consumo e cria recorrência num produto que, por natureza, não tem. Fones duram anos, mas o perfume? Esse você usa todo dia.De faturamento gigante a uma Legião de FãsA estratégia da Kuba é um tapa na cara de quem acha que marketing é só tráfego pago e funil de vendas. Em 2023, com João na linha de frente do B2C, eles dobraram o faturamento — sem pandemia, sem lançamento bombástico, só com criatividade afiada e um posicionamento premium que faz o cliente sentir que está comprando mais que um fone: está comprando uma história. E o perfume? É a cereja do bolo que pode transformar a Kuba numa marca de lifestyle, não só de áudio.Ouça o Segredo no PodcastQuer saber como a Kuba transformou fraquezas em armas e está construindo um império artesanal no quintal do Brasil?

Ryan from V1 Engineering sits down to talk to us about how the desire for a 3D printer led to the birth of V1 Engineering. From working for free to outgrowing his jobs, Ryan had no plans to start a business and even pushed back from the idea of it. With a tremendous amount of attention and desire for his CNC design on Thingiverse, he finally listened to his boss and piers by giving his business 100% of his time and energy. Over eight years later, he is still going strong with a wonderful community and great products. To find out more about Ryan and his CNC machines, check out his website: V1E.com Hosted on Acast.

One of the hardest parts of telling any history, is which innovations are significant enough to warrant mention. Too much, and the history is so vast that it can't be told. Too few, and it's incomplete. Arguably, no history is ever complete. Yet there's a critical path of innovation to get where we are today, and hundreds of smaller innovations that get missed along the way, or are out of scope for this exact story. Children have probably been placing sand into buckets to make sandcastles since the beginning of time. Bricks have survived from round 7500BC in modern-day Turkey where humans made molds to allow clay to dry and bake in the sun until it formed bricks. Bricks that could be stacked. And it wasn't long before molds were used for more. Now we can just print a mold on a 3d printer.   A mold is simply a block with a hollow cavity that allows putting some material in there. People then allow it to set and pull out a shape. Humanity has known how to do this for more than 6,000 years, initially with lost wax casting with statues surviving from the Indus Valley Civilization, stretching between parts of modern day Pakistan and India. That evolved to allow casting in gold and silver and copper and then flourished in the Bronze Age when stone molds were used to cast axes around 3,000 BCE. The Egyptians used plaster to cast molds of the heads of rulers. So molds and then casting were known throughout the time of the earliest written works and so the beginning of civilization. The next few thousand years saw humanity learn to pack more into those molds, to replace objects from nature with those we made synthetically, and ultimately molding and casting did its part on the path to industrialization. As we came out of the industrial revolution, the impact of all these technologies gave us more and more options both in terms of free time as humans to think as well as new modes of thinking. And so in 1868 John Wesley Hyatt invented injection molding, patenting the machine in 1872. And we were able to mass produce not just with metal and glass and clay but with synthetics. And more options came but that whole idea of a mold to avoid manual carving and be able to produce replicas stretched back far into the history of humanity. So here we are on the precipice of yet another world-changing technology becoming ubiquitous. And yet not. 3d printing still feels like a hobbyists journey rather than a mature technology like we see in science fiction shows like Star Trek with their replicators or printing a gun in the Netflix show Lost In Space. In fact the initial idea of 3d printing came from a story called Things Pass By written all the way back in 1945! I have a love-hate relationship with 3D printing. Some jobs just work out great. Others feel very much like personal computers in the hobbyist era - just hacking away until things work. It's usually my fault when things go awry. Just as it was when I wanted to print things out on the dot matrix printer on the Apple II. Maybe I fed the paper crooked or didn't check that there was ink first or sent the print job using the wrong driver. One of the many things that could go wrong.  But those fast prints don't match with the reality of leveling and cleaning nozzles and waiting for them to heat up and pulling filament out of weird places (how did it get there, exactly)! Or printing 10 add-ons for a printer to make it work the way it probably should have out of the box.  Another area where 3d printing is similar to the early days of the personal computer revolution is that there are a few different types of technology in use today. These include color-jet printing (CJP), direct metal printing (DMP), fused deposition modeling (FDM), Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM, multi-jet printing (MJP), stereolithography (SLA), selective laser melting (SLM), and selective laser sintering (SLS). Each could be better for a given type of print job to be done. Some forms have flourished while others are either their infancy or have been abandoned like extinct languages. Language isolates are languages that don't fit into other families. Many are the last in a branch of a larger language family tree. Others come out of geographically isolated groups. Technology also has isolates. Konrad Zuse built computers in pre-World War II Germany and after that aren't considered to influence other computers. In other words, every technology seems to have a couple of false starts. Hideo Kodama filed the first patent to 3d print in 1980 - but his method of using UV lights to harden material doesn't get commercialized.  Another type of 3d printing includes printers that were inkjets that shot metal alloys onto surfaces. Inkjet printing was invented by Ichiro Endo at Canon in the 1950s, supposedly when he left a hot iron on a pen and ink bubbled out. Thus the “Bubble jet” printer. And Jon Vaught at HP was working on the same idea at about the same time. These were patented and used to print images from computers over the coming decades. Johannes Gottwald patented a printer like this in 1971. Experiments continued through the 1970s when companies like Exxon were trying to improve various prototyping processes. Some of their engineers joined an inventor Robert Howard in the early 1980s to found a company called Howtek and they produced the Pixelmaster, using hot-melt inks to increment the ink jet with solid inks, which then went on to be used by Sanders Prototype, which evolved into a company called Solidscape to market the Modelmaker. And some have been used to print solar cells, living cells, tissue, and even edible birthday cakes. That same technique is available with a number of different solutions but isn't the most widely marketable amongst the types of 3D printers available. SLA There's often a root from which most technology of the day is derived. Charles, or Chuck, Hull coined the term stereolithography, where he could lay down small layers of an object and then cure the object with UV light, much as the dentists do with fillings today. This is made possibly by photopolymers, or plastics that are easily cured by an ultraviolet light. He then invented the stereolithography apparatus, or SLA for short, a machine that printed from the bottom to the top by focusing a laser on photopolymer while in a liquid form to cure the plastic into place. He worked on it in 1983, filed the patent in 1984, and was granted the patent in 1986.  Hull also developed a file format for 3D printing called STL. STL files describe the surface of a three-dimensional object, geometrically using Cartesian coordinates. Describing coordinates and vectors means we can make objects bigger or smaller when we're ready to print them. 3D printers print using layers, or slices. Those can change based on the filament on the head of a modern printer, the size of the liquid being cured, and even the heat of a nozzle. So the STL file gets put into a slicer that then converts the coordinates on the outside to the polygons that are cured. These are polygons in layers, so they may appear striated rather than perfectly curved according to the size of the layers. However, more layers take more time and energy. Such is the evolution of 3D printing. Hull then founded a company called 3D Systems in Valencia California to take his innovation to market. They sold their first printer, the SLA-1 in 1988. New technologies start out big and expensive. And that was the case with 3D Systems. They initially sold to large engineering companies but when solid-state lasers came along in 1996 they were able to provide better systems for cheaper.  Languages also have other branches. Another branch in 3d printing came in 1987, just before the first SLA-1 was sold.  Carl Deckard  and his academic adviser Joe Beaman at the University of Texas worked on a DARPA grant to experiment with creating physical objects with lasers. They formed a company to take their solution to market called DTM and filed a patent for what they called selective laser sintering. This compacts and hardens a material with a heat source without having to liquify it. So a laser, guided by a computer, can move around a material and harden areas to produce a 3D model. Now in addition to SLA we had a second option, with the release of the Sinterstation 2500plus. Then 3D Systems then acquired DTM for $45 million in 2001. FDM After Hull published his findings for SLA and created the STL format, other standards we use today emerged. FDM is short for Fused Deposition Modeling and was created by Scott Crump in 1989. He then started a company with his wife Lisa to take the product to market, taking the company public in 1994. Crump's first patent expired in 2009.  In addition to FDM, there are other formats and techniques. AeroMat made the first 3D printer that could produce metal in 1997. These use a laser additive manufacturing process, where lasers fuse powdered titanium alloys. Some go the opposite direction and create out of bacteria or tissue. That began in 1999, when Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative medicine grew a 3D printed urinary bladder in a lab to be used as a transplant. We now call this bioprinting and can take tissue and lasers to rebuild damaged organs or even create a new organ. Organs are still in their infancy with success trials on smaller animals like rabbits. Another aspect is printing dinner using cell fibers from cows or other animals. There are a number of types of materials used in 3D printing. Most printers today use a continuous feed of one of these filaments, or small coiled fibers of thermoplastics that melt instead of burn when they're heated up. The most common in use today is PLA, or polylactic acid, is a plastic initially created by Wall Carothers of DuPont, the same person that brought us nylon, neoprene, and other plastic derivatives. It typically melts between 200 and 260 degrees Celsius. Printers can also take ABS filament, which is short for acrylonitrile-butadien-styerene. Other filament types include HIPS, PET, CPE, PVA, and their derivative forms.  Filament is fed into a heated extruder assembly that melts the plastic. Once melted, filament extrudes into place through a nozzle as a motor sends the nozzle on a x and y axis per layer.  Once a layer of plastic is finished being delivered to the areas required to make up the desired slice, the motor moves the extruder assembly up or down on a z axis between layers. Filament is just between 1.75 millimeters and 3 millimeters and comes in spools between half a kilogram and two kilograms. These thermoplastics cool very quickly. Once all of the slices are squirted into place, the print is removed from the bed and the nozzle cools off. Filament comes in a number of colors and styles. For example, wood fibers can be added to filament to get a wood-grained finish. Metal can be added to make prints appear metallic and be part metal.  Printing isn't foolproof, though. Filament often gets jammed or the spool gets stuck, usually when something goes wrong. Filament also needs to be stored in a temperature and moisture controlled location or it can cause jobs to fail. Sometimes the software used to slice the .stl file has an incorrect setting, like the wrong size of filament. But in general, 3D printing using the FDM format is pretty straight forward these days. Yet this is technology that should have moved faster in terms of adoption. The past 10 years have seen more progress than the previous ten though. Primarily due to the maker community. Enter the Makers The FDM patent expired in 2009. In 2005, a few years before the FDM patent expired, Dr. Adrian Bowyer started a project to bring inexpensive 3D printers to labs and homes around the world. That project evolved into what we now call the Replicating Rapid Prototyper, or RepRap for short.  RepRap evolved into an open source concept to create self-replicating 3D printers and by 2008, the Darwin printer was the first printer to use RepRap. As a community started to form, more collaborators designed more parts. Some were custom parts to improve the performance of the printer, or replicate the printer to become other printers. Others held the computing mechanisms in place. Some even wrote code to make the printer able to boot off a MicroSD card and then added a network interface so files could be uploaded to the printer wirelessly. There was a rising tide of printers. People were reading about what 3D printers were doing and wanted to get involved. There was also a movement in the maker space, so people wanted to make things themselves. There was a craft to it. Part of that was wanting to share. Whether that was at a maker space or share ideas and plans and code online. Like the RepRap team had done.  One of those maker spaces was NYC Resistor, founded in 2007. Bre Pettis, Adam Mayer, and Zach Smith from there took some of the work from the RepRap project and had ideas for a few new projects they'd like to start. The first was a site that Zach Smith created called Thingiverse. Bre Pettis joined in and they allowed users to upload .stl files and trade them. It's now the largest site for trading hundreds of thousands of designs to print about anything imaginable. Well, everything except guns. Then comes 2009. The patent for FDM expires and a number of companies respond by launching printers and services. Almost overnight the price for a 3D printer fell from $10,000 to $1,000 and continued to drop. Shapeways had created a company the year before to take files and print them for people. Pettis, Mayer, and Smith from NYC Resistor also founded a company called MakerBot Industries. They'd already made a little bit of a name for themselves with the Thingiverse site. They knew the mind of a maker. And so they decided to make a kit to sell to people that wanted to build their own printers. They sold 3,500 kits in the first couple of years. They had a good brand and knew the people who bought these kinds of devices. So they took venture funding to grow the company. So they raised $10M in funding in 2011 in a round led by the Foundry Group, along with Bezos, RRE, 500 Startups and a few others. They hired and grew fast. Smith left in 2012 and they were getting closer and closer with Stratasys, who if we remember were the original creators of FDM. So Stratasys ended up buying out the company in 2013 for $403M. Sales were disappointing so there was a changeup in leadership, with Pettis leaving and they've become much more about additive manufacturing than a company built to appeal to makers. And yet the opportunity to own that market is still there. This was also an era of Kickstarter campaigns. Plenty of 3D printing companies launched through kickstarter including some to take PLA (a biodegradable filament) and ABS materials to the next level. The ExtrusionBot, the MagicBox, the ProtoPlant, the Protopasta, Mixture, Plybot, Robo3D, Mantis, and so many more.  Meanwhile, 3D printing was in the news. 2011 saw the University of Southhampton design a 3d printed aircraft. Ecologic printing cars, and practically every other car company following suit that they were fabricating prototypes with 3d printers, even full cars that ran. Some on their own, some accidentally when parts are published in .stl files online violating various patents.  Ultimaker was another RepRap company that came out of the early Darwin reviews. Martijn Elserman, Erik de Bruin, and Siert Wijnia who couldn't get the Darwin to work so they designed a new printer and took it to market. After a few iterations, they came up with the Ultimaker 2 and have since been growing and releasing new printers  A few years later, a team of Chinese makers, Jack Chen, Huilin Liu, Jingke Tang, Danjun Ao, and Dr. Shengui Chen took the RepRap designs and started a company to manufacturing (Do It Yourself) kits called Creality. They have maintained the open source manifesto of 3D printing that they inherited from RepRap and developed version after version, even raising over $33M to develop the Ender6 on Kickstarter in 2018, then building a new factory and now have the capacity to ship well over half a million printers a year. The future of 3D Printing We can now buy 3D printing pens, over 170 3D Printer manufacturers including 3D systems, Stratasys, and Ceality but also down-market solutions like Fusion3, Formlabs, Desktop Metal, Prusa, and Voxel8. There's also a RecycleBot concept and additional patents expiring every year.  There is little doubt that at some point, instead of driving to Home Depot to get screws or basic parts, we'll print them. Need a new auger for the snow blower? Just print it. Cover on the weed eater break?  Print it. Need a dracolich mini for the next Dungeons and Dragons game? Print it. Need a new pinky toe. OK, maybe that's a bit far. Or is it? In 2015, Swedish Cellink releases bio-ink made from seaweed and algae, which could be used to print cartilage and later released the INKREDIBLE 3D printer for bio printing. The market in 2020 was valued at $13.78 billion with 2.1 million printers shipped. That's expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 21% for the next few years. But a lot of that is healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and prototyping still. Apple made the personal computer simple and elegant. But no Apple has emerged for 3D printing. Instead it still feels like the Apple II era, where there are 3D printers in a lot of schools and many offer classes on generating files and printing.  3D printers are certainly great for prototypers and additive manufacturing. They're great for hobbyists, which we call makers these days. But there will be a time when there is a printer in most homes, the way we have electricity, televisions, phones, and other critical technologies. But there are a few things that have to happen first, to make the printers easier to use. These include: Every printer needs to automatically level. This is one of the biggest reasons jobs fail and new users become frustrated. More consistent filament. Spools are still all just a little bit different. Printers need sensors in the extruder that detect if a job should be paused because the filament is jammed, humid, or caught. This adds the ability to potentially resume print jobs and waste less filament and time. Automated slicing in the printer microcode that senses the filament and slices. Better system boards (e.g. there's a tool called Klipper that moves the math from the system board on a Creality Ender 3 to a Raspberry Pi). Cameras on the printer should watch jobs and use TinyML to determine if they are going to fail as early as possible to halt printing so it can start over. Most of the consumer solutions don't have great support. Maybe users are limited to calling a place in a foreign country where support hours don't make sense for them or maybe the products are just too much of a hacker/maker/hobbyist solution. There needs to be an option for color printing. This could be a really expensive sprayer or ink like inkjet printers use at first We love to paint minis we make for Dungeons and Dragons but could get amazingly accurate resolutions to create amazing things with automated coloring.  For a real game changer, the RecycleBot concept needs to be merged with the printer. Imagine if we dropped our plastics into a recycling bin that 3D printers of the world used to create filament. This would help reduce the amount of plastics used in the world in general. And when combined with less moving around of cheap plastic goods that could be printed at home, this also means less energy consumed by transporting goods. The 3D printing technology is still a generation or two away from getting truly mass-marketed. Most hobbyists don't necessarily think of building an elegant, easy-to-use solution because they are so experienced it's hard to understand what the barriers of entry are for any old person. But the company who finally manages to crack that nut might just be the next Apple, Microsoft, or Google of the world.

This week on TechtalkRadio, Andy and Shawn explore some tech gadget ideas for kids as Shawn's Son approaches his first birthday, including a not very traditional Roku Remote without batteries that Shawn found to be a fun toy. Shawn also discusses his experience with the Endor 3 3D Printer and how he used it to create useful items for his home, such as a baby gate designed from Thingiverse. Additionally, he shares his thoughts on the new Wyze Wireless Gaming Headset, highlighting both its pros and cons. Andy also weighs in on the discussion, sharing his preferred headphones for work and gaming, including the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro and SteelSeries Arctis 7. Finally, they touch on the exciting new partnership between Roku and Wyze, which includes the integration of Wyze cameras into the Roku platform. Andy discusses his recent news segments on the dangers of text spam, email scams, and the emerging threat of voice AI, which could be used to capture voice prints and scam people in your social circle. He also shares his experience with Voice.AI, one of the best voices deepfake sites he's come across, and even surprises Shawn with a demo of one of the voices he created. While the service can be pricy, it certainly has its fun uses however could also have risks associated with it. Andy also shares a frustrating experience with BingChatAI, which ended a chat with him because it felt he was being confrontational when he was just trying to provide accurate information about TechtalkRadio. CEO of RAXCO Software, Bob Nolan, joins Andy Taylor to discuss the company's history and offerings. With roots dating back to 1978, RAXCO Software began as a provider of system management tools and has since evolved to offer a range of solutions, including server management, system backups, and quick restoration options. Bob and Andy also discuss the importance of these solutions in the context of recent ransomware attacks, such as the one experienced by the Tucson Unified School District earlier this year. Specifically, they delve into RAXCO's Instant Recovery technology and how it has helped organizations recover from such attacks.

More youth are participating in Esports - and it's nothing like the trope stereotype of “gamer kids” isolated  in their basements, chomping on chips and sipping sodas while gaming online with other kids in similar grunge contexts. In this episode, Esports expert Mike Dahle will help to accurately inform us about school Esports, including how it's in-person and team-centric, ways Esports hones skills for learning - from analytical problem solving to time management, and how Esports helps students consider STEM career paths. In fact, universities are providing scholarships for Esports athletes! ABOUT MIKE DAHLE. Mike Dahle is a Business Teacher at Elkhorn Area HS and President of the Wisconsin HS Esports Association, WIHSEA.org. He was a second-year teacher when he learned how far PC gaming had come since his younger gaming days when a student gave a presentation on the League of Legends World Championship. Ever since that presentation, his interest in esports has grown exponentially. He started one of the first state associations that has since grown to 125+ schools around the state, serves as a Board Member for the Milwaukee Esports Alliance, serves as a Board Member for the Interstate Scholastic Esports Alliance, and is constantly trying to push esports to the next level in the state of Wisconsin. WHAT DOES BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY LOOK LIKE FOR ESPORTS. There isn't a template for BOE policy for Esports. It's often treated similar to other school clubs. Surprisingly, some districts have bypassed Esports due to the cartoonish guns in some of the games. It's worth noting that high school trap shooting team numbers are at record highs in America. ARE ESPORTS INDIVIDUAL OR TEAM? Most games are team-based, and individual matches add into a team score. This happens in the game SUPER SMASH BROTHERS, for example. Think of it like batting order in baseball. Players are seeded so one school's #5 player would compete against the #5 player from a different school. Esports can be played by teams within a state, but also between states. It depends upon how the league is structured. WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR ESPORTS? The top five popular titles are: Super Smash Bros, Rocket League, Fortnite, Valorant, and League of Legends. ARE ESPORTS ACCESSIBLE FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES? Yes! There is much flexibility in accommodating Esport players as long as the accommodation doesn't afford them an unfair competition edge. In Milwaukee, for example, a company designs adaptive controllers. A high-ranked quadriplegic player uses a mouth-held device to game. Esports also require minimal travel. Students typically only leave their district if they are participating in a state-level competition. 3D PRINTING AND ESPORTS. The 3D printing community collaborates through sites such as “Thingiverse” to create different or adapted controllers, and Microsoft offers several adaptive controllers. BENEFITS OF ESPORTS FOR STUDENTS. Gamers gain useful skills from participating in esports that help them on a broader learning journey. Analytical problem solving, time management, collaboration, and teamwork are key. Video games can also help to improve visual perception, enhance memory, and lead to better focus and attention. Some students who participate in Esports had previously not participated in other extracurricular activities. DO SCHOOLS GIVE CREDIT FOR ESPORTS. In most instances, students do not receive “credit” for participating in Esports. There is no curriculum approved by DPI to this point, although there is discussion to develop a curriculum. There is an inaugural INTRO to ESPORTS class at UW (Wis)-Parkside this year. Some Wisconsin schools, including: Random Lake, Racine, and Montello, award a patch for varsity. ARE ESPORTS PART OF TRADITIONAL STATE ATHLETIC ORGANIZATIONS? This varies by state. In Wisconsin, the WIAA and WIHSEA are separate entities and, at present, do not collaborate. Playfly (an Esports business) partners with high school state associations in Washington and Arizona to provide students with the infrastructure to compete and learn. HOW DO SCHOOLS FUND ESPORTS? Esports has a very small funding footprint. Coaches are either unpaid volunteers or receive stipends ranging from $400 to $5,000. Compensation for coaches and persons managing leagues is inconsistent across schools. Esports is generally under-funded when compared to compensation for coaches or people who oversee school clubs. Twitch channel and affiliate program generates $2.50 per subscriber. SPONSORS at the local level (Wisconsin) include: Spectrum Industries from Eau Claire, Bug Tussel Wireless, and Allstate insurance agents. Jolly Good Soda sponsors Random Lake. There are no state-level sponsors for Esports in Wisconsin. It is difficult for Esports groups to obtain a bank account or PayPal. Some schools host fundraiser invitationals. The “Extra Life” www.extra-life.org gaming marathon is a 24-hour charity event that raises money for children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. It was held on November 5, 2022. POST HIGH SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES AND CAREERS. There is a significant and growing collegiate scene for Esports with various organizers, including The National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE). Students might receive scholarships. Post-secondary institutions have dedicated facilities and faculty, and the universities that recognize Esports as a varsity level program enable players to compete for a national championship. In less formal settings, Esports might be thought of similar to intramural sports, or be student-run club level teams, like Rec Well or Student Life. Collegiate teams can compete in other leagues. Universities feature Esports as a recruitment tool. ESports might have a similar influence for K-12 open enrollment. Beyond gaming, players maximize Esports to develop their own business acumen - complete with social media marketing, analytics, coaching, blogs, analyzing competition film, networking, and IT infrastructure. Being an Esports player or working in an Esports league as an analyst, IT, etc., has parallels to an internship in marketing and IT. WHAT SHOULD PARENTS AND SCHOOL LEADERS KNOW ABOUT ESPORTS? Esports is broadly popular, but specifically offers opportunities for a school's under-represented students. For some students, Esports is the only extracurricular activity they participated in during their school career. And there's evidence to suggest that playing Esports improved student's grades and attendance. Esports aligns with the CDC's themes for School Connectedness. At Arrowhead Union High School (Wisconsin), 60-70 students stay after school on Fridays to play Esports. Parents drop off TVs and students even play under tables. Esport players are voluntarily participating in-person with their peers. They are not sitting at home in their basement. Esports participants learn play-by-play announcing, media coaching, post-game interviewing, and public speaking skills. Esports has helped students obtain scholarships. One student received a 60% scholarship. He was an athlete on the autism spectrum. “If you leverage this program correctly, you can do a ton with it.” The National Association of Esports Coaches and Directors works to serve, legitimize, and advance Esports at all levels  https://www.naecad.org/about-naecad. Mankato University (MN) presented at the NAECAD conference. It's ranked as the top school for broadcasting. An Esport player's next step could be to form a broadcasting club, or to pursue a career in broadcasting - perhaps by attending Mankato University. MORE THINGS SCHOOLS SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT ESPORTS. Some games include cartoon guns, a disqualifying feature per some school districts. Student data privacy is a concern. What is on the networks? Is there an in-game chat feature, and if so, how do we turn it off? The Esports launching software can present challenges. The games themselves are efficient, but the system to access the game can be buggy. Schools should create separate Esports logins on computers and also toggle settings so Esports can't be accessed until after 2PM. Esports is inclusive, and also an equity-oriented activity. You don't need expensive gear and to pay a sports fee to participate. You also don't have to rent expensive facilities. Esports increase opportunities for students both as players as well as other niche roles, such as announcing, communications, web design, and IT. There isn't a Name-Image-Likeness (NIL) prohibition clause in Esports. Although it is rare, a high school Esports player could enter into paid sponsorship deals - and by doing so, wouldn't have to forfeit their eligibility to play Esports. Esports can be included in the school district's DPI 5-year Pupil Nondiscrimination report as increasing extracurricular opportunities for students. It is particularly inclusive for students with disabilities or students without the financial means to participate in activities that have higher barriers to entry for personal equipment costs, facility rentals, and participation fees. Esports teams can consist of a mixed-gender roster. Consider formal club recognition for Esports to facilitate a funding account in your school district's fiscal chart of accounts.

Hello! In this episode we will be making conversation about 3D Printing. Not everyone has a 3D Printer... yet. Is it a must have tool for home, work and hobbies? Or will it fade away like the Betamax or the fidget spinner. What have you 3D printed? We also have a minor Walnut Challenge update, an exciting Moosaroo IV Cup update with all the trimmings. Plus we read some of your politer comments out. This is Season 2, episode 13 of Just Making Conversation.

This episode is slightly different because Stefan records it straight from Covid isolation which he caught, as many others, at this year's Midwest Reprap Festival in Goshen, IN. After a short status check and some stories from MRRF, Tom and Stefan discuss the recent merger of Ultimaker and Makerbot and what this will mean for the two brands as well as Thingiverse. Staying on the topic of Ultimaker, both talk about CURAs new Arachne slicing engine that dynamically adjusts extrusion width for more detailed and denser parts. Since CURA is open source, Prusa also implemented that feature in their new 2.5 alpha version of Prusa Slicer. Talking about open source, Tom and Stefan discuss the recent issues of Bambulab and QIDI not releasing the source code of their modified PrusaSlicer and CURA builds. The final section covers the question of what happened to PlyBot?

This episode contains: Best friend of the show Matt was mauled by a dog, so Ben took him to the ER. A WILD STORY. "They don't give ice cream in the ER?" asks Devon. Shout out to team "Dad Bod" on season 2 of Floor Is Lava. Get new shirts guys. There are no words: People are getting explosive gastroenteritis at the Grand Canyon. Amazing story full of poop jokes about the Grand Canyon by Beth Mole for Ars Technica. Thanks for the chuckles and the coverage of norovirus, Beth! Turns out if you vomit at the Grand Canyon, you gotta take it out with you. Steven isn't impressed by erosion, but Ben loved seeing the Grand Canyon.   https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/06/the-grand-canyon-is-brimming-with-norovirus-sickening-over-150/    This week in space: Surprise solar storm with 'disruptive potential' slams into Earth. A G1-class solar storm hit earth at 1.57 M miles per hour on 6/25, disrupting satellites and creating strong auroras as south as Oregon. Possibly unrelated: there was a giant sunspot in June, 2.5 times the size of earth. How do EMPs make electronics turn off? We'll look it up later. https://www.livescience.com/surprise-solar-storm-hits-earth Science Fiction: Need a Lola 3D printed from Kenobi? Renee found it for us on Thingiverse. We suggest a few kid-friendly podcasts instead of our show. For All Mankind episode three was exactly what Ben wanted from the show. Devon wonders why For All Mankind had a ship spinning while engaging engines. Literally unwatchable. SEND ALL THE POETS TO MARS! YES! In case you missed it: watch the alternate-history news reports between seasons 2 and 3. Steven and Devon speculate who'll be POTUS in later seasons. We talk about three episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds this week. Steven continues to exploit his greater knowledge of Futurama over Ben. Devon remembers more of early Star Trek: The Next Generation than Ben. Devon kinda likes Stranger Things season 4, after the overhyped season 1. West World season 4 has low ratings, probably because of lack of advertising. Out of context, West World season 4 sounds bonkers, but Ben is in for it. Ms. Marvel is a great show: culturally, stylistically, and cinematographically. Steven talks about what to expect from the upcoming film The Marvels. Maybe next week Devon will talk about The Orville... or maybe not. On Patreon-only: Ben sings the Skype song mashed up with A-Team theme. Book recommendations for roadtrips, Devon's noises, blinking and all about Memphis.

US Manufacturing Inflection Point, Prusa XL Announcement, Thingiverse break

It's the podcasting breakfast of champions as we talk Spiderman:No Way Home, Brent's Carnival King, Stern's new Rush Pinball, Q&A on repairing the K7000 monitor, some 3D printing parts (that are now up on Thingiverse) and honor the genius of Lyman Sheats, Jr. And we (non-ASMR) try some Ghostbusters cereal - yeah, it'll all make sense after you listen to the show. :) The post 103: Spiderman's Breakfast first appeared on Brokentoken.com.

The Dudes talk about how single board computers, microcontrollers, and 3D Printing technology are being used in the entertainment industry and beyond!

When his pool vacuum cleaner's bearings failed, a Florida man didn't bolt to Amazon to order an expensive replacement vacuum (in the slight chance it was in stock). Instead, he found open source code for a similar bearing, modified it, and then programmed his home 3D printer to make a new bearing. With the cost of operating the 3D printer at 75 watts per hour, and filament mere cents, and after a few trials, the pool vacuum was back in service for $3 of parts and power. IN THIS EPISODE. In this episode, Doc interviews flyingRich to learn about the arrival of 3D home printing as more than a novelty. In addition, flyingRich will talk about the positive impact of 3D printing in crisis situations, such as PPE items and ventilator parts as well as 3D printed mesh network solutions for antennas used in emergency communication conditions. ABOUT FLYINGRICH. flyingRich (spelled with lowercase f) has been doing tech podcasts for more than ten years (His YouTube channel is titled flyingRich). Rich is an advocate of open source software solutions. He is a regular host on "The Mini PC Show" on the PodNutz network that focuses on single board computing like the Raspberry Pi. Professionally he is a cloud engineer. Being a 3D printing enthusiast he combines the love of tech, open source & cloud computing. Rich is also a 1,000 hour instrument rated pilot. 3D HOME PRINTING NO LONGER A NOVELTY. Rich showed off a number of items that he had 3D printed, including a stand for his monitor and a specialized device to bend pipe. In fact, through open source computing and networking, Rich has worked with people across the world to design, refine, and 3D print parts for a range of applications. While the public might perceive home 3D printing as centered on toys, flutes, and trinkets, the reality is that actual houses are being 3D printed, hard-to-configure replacement parts for old homes, automotive parts, and even food. THINGIVERSE. Rich noted that much sharing exists within the 3D printing community. In particular, THINGIVERSE is a website dedicated to the sharing of user-created digital design files. “Providing primary free, open-source hardware designs licensed under the GNU General Public License or Creative Commons licenses, the site allows contributors to select a user license type for the designs that they share (Source: Wikipedia). 3D PRINTING IN DISASTERS. The December 2021 wildfire that destroyed 1000 homes in Boulder County or the tornado that ripped apart towns in the Kentucky region caused massive damage with little warning. How might mobile 3D printing units be deployed and benefit these areas? Rich and Doc explored this question. Rich felt that 3D printers could build many of the parts needed for geodesic domes, which are lattice shell structures. These are both strong and relatively easy to configure. They could provide shelter to people and animals or staging of assets. Doc felt that portable 3D printing units might yield much relief to hurricane stricken areas, such as the Bahamas. On a September 11, 2019  show, Doc interviewed German Parodi, a disability rights advocate. In that interview, Parodi explained that people (in the Bahamas)  in need of catheters, for example, were unable to obtain them as large planes were unable to land at the damaged airport and it was time-consuming and red-tape-filled to have pallets broken into smaller shipments. A 3D printer might have offered other options in that scenario. FOLLOW DR. PERRODIN: Twitter @SafetyPhD and subscribe to The Safety Doc YouTube channel & Apple Podcasts.

3D Druck und Camping? Meiner Meinung nach eine geniale Kombination. Diesen Gedanken hatte nicht nur ich, auch einer unserer Hörer, beschäftigt sich seit geraumer Zeit mit dem Thema 3D Druck. Aus diesem Grund habe ich Andreas zu Gast in dieser Episode. Nele ist heute leider nicht dabei, da sie in Mexiko auf dem Land unterwegs ist und leider kein Internet hat. Wenn ihr schon länger CamperStyle und auch diesem Podcast folgt, wisst ihr, dass ich ein "Technik-Nerd" bin. Daher musste es irgendwann so kommen wie es kam - ich habe mir einen 3D-Drucker gekauft. Gerade bei der Wohnmobil- und Wohnwagennutzung sehen wir großes Potenzial, denn in einem fahrenden Haus ist alles auf Leichtbau ausgelegt. Somit können verschiedene Kleinteile auch leicht kaputtgehen. Dank dem 3D Druck kann man sich viel Zeit sparen bei der Suche nach Ersatzteilen, wenn man sie überhaupt noch findet und natürlich fallen auch keine Kosten an für gesuchten Komponenten. In dieser Episode erfährst du - grundlegende Informationen zum 3D Druck, - welche Drucker Andreas und ich benutzen, - welche Erfahrung wir gemacht haben, - wo wir unsere Druckvorlagen downloaden - und was wir bereits gedruckt haben. Abonniere gerne unseren Podcast, damit du immer up-to-date bist. Das kostet dich nichts und wir freuen uns über jede:n neue:n Abonnent:in.

Der Nerd und der Andere unterhalten sich heute mal wieder über einen ikonischen Film ihrer Jugend: Nummer 5 lebt! Heute so modern wie damals zu seiner Entstehung, ist der Film unterhaltsam, regt aber auch zum Nachdenken an. Wir stellen den Film kurz vor und unterhalten uns dann über die Implikationen von Killerrobotern. Natürlich gibt es auch wieder FunFacts. Was ich komplett vergessen habe ist der Link zu Lego Boost, deren Roboter offensichtlich auch von Johnny 5 inspiriert ist. Die Nachrichten drehen sich um Nr. 5 reale Verwandte, die Cobots, die mittlerweile ganz schöne Lasten bewegen können. Das Ding der Folge ist Nummer 5 selbst. Zu selber drucken oder bestellen auf Thingiverse. Ganz nebenbei kann man da auch noch nen ganzen Haufen anderen Kram finden. Viel Spass beim Hören und lasst uns mal wissen welche alten Filme ihr geliebt habt und gerne mal wieder schauen würdet.

Stefan talk about the recent Thingiverse Data Breach, how it was handled, and that this is just another nail in the coffin. This is followed by a discussion about Thingiverse alternatives and Prusa's plans of re-branding PrusaPrinters. On the topic of Prusa, they talk about a recent incident where a heater block of an original Prusa melted away and what the reasons might have been. Next, they switch to resin topics including a double vat Elegoo printer and a Rotating Vat machine for high-speed printing.

The first episode after the summer break covers E3Ds new Revo extrusion system and Prusa Automated Farm System that they are currently demonstrating in Dubai. Stefan quickly talks about his line-up of threaded inserts that he recently launched and Tom gives his impression about the SL1S Upgrade that he installed on a live stream. Both discuss a controversial topic because Thingiverse seems to be automatically replacing the affiliate links from creators with their own ones. The questions cover the hotend of the upside-down 3D printer that uses a 90° bent for compactness.

Original broadcast date March 5, 2020. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2020/03/binary-system-podcast-213-wtnv-163-bravo/ On this week's Night Vale recap we discuss theater etiquette when attending a show at an insane asylum, and then move on to cosplay problems, adventures in 3D printing, and whether or not the pretty, pretty effects in Picard outweigh all the talking. (They do so far, but we're only three episodes in.) This week's outro is a clip from Electron by TeknoAxe. https://youtu.be/yibESRDRb2Y Kathryn mentioned Thingiverse, a site for 3-D Printer patterns and more, you can find them here https://www.thingiverse.com/.

In this episode we interview Erin from 3DP Design Labs about her progress wading into 3d printing. For many serious miniature wargamers 3D printing presents the opportunity for cheap models, but 3D printing can consume as much time and money as you let it. It can become a hobby on to itself rather than an adjunct to miniature wargaming and hobbying. By following Erin's progress through printing and designing 3D objects, we hope to help our listeners judge how deeply this wish to get involved in 3D printing. 3DP Design Labs has uploaded their miniature wargaming designs to Thingiverse.

This week, Mat and Mike are joined by not one but TWO guests! We are joined by Matthew Craine and Jeremy Johns to talk about 3d printing, semi-competitive disc golfing, and discuss the controversial movie, Oliver Stone's, 'Snowden'.-------------------------Interested in 3D printing Thingiverse -- https://www.thingiverse.com Want to get started in disc golfProfessional Disc Golf Association -- https://www.pdga.com/Disc Golf Course Review - https://www.dgcoursereview.com/Local to Purdue and want to playWabash Disc Golf Club - http://wabashdiscgolf.com/-------------------------Email the Cyber Tap with suggestions (or tips)cybertappodcast@purdue.eduFollow us on all the things:Twitter: @PCyberTAPLinkedIn: Purdue cyberTAPInstagram: purduecybertapTo learn more about Purdue cyberTAP's education and professional services, visit cyber.tap.purdue.edu

On this content packed episode, Tom and Stefan talk about their recent live streaming efforts, VR, the newly added FFF slicer in Fusion360 and why Stefan thinks it's a challenge to add gears to his new plastics shredder. There are currently a lot of efforts being done to use 3D printing for medical equipment due to the current Corona pandemic. Both discuss the positive and negative sides of those and why there also can be a danger in printing medical supplies. There is a "new Thingiverse" but is it better than the old one? Tom and Stefan try to answer viewer/listener questions on high power lasers in SLA printers, the right material for 3D printed CNCs, if E3D really performs quality control, if Fusion360 might implement non-planar slicing, trouble with white filament, under-water curing and their favorite thread profiles for 3D printed parts.

Tom and Stefan talk about the upcoming events that they'll attend including Malta Maker Fair and MRRF2020. Both recently released a material testing video and discuss if resin prints are really isotropic and why lattice or porous structures performs the way they do. Tom got kicked from the Amazon.com affiliate program and explains how that happened. Stefan got a new Pellet Extruder and expresses his first experience with it. Both talk about the impact of the Chorona Virus on the China and the 3D printing industry. The Makerbot Classroom Sketch was unveiled recently - is it worth $1800? Questions cover copyright on Thingiverse uploads, ceramic hotend liners, dimensional issues of high prints an the Dragon Hotend.

Stefan talks about his recent trip to the UK where he visited E3D and the XYZSummit, a YouTube creators even. YouTube did it's "thing" again by removing the verified status from most of their creators but shortly changed their mind again after lots of complaints from the community. LEGO has taken down lot's of community designs from MyMiniFactory and Thingiverse. Tom and Stefan discuss how far 3D printers have come from the Sells Mendel and at which point both got into the hobby. They both talk about if a belt printer would be something for them to consider and what the advantages of a combined additive and substractive process might be.

Tom and Stefan recap the last in-car recorded podcast episode and what they were doing in the 2 weeks after MRRF2019. Tom is improving his live stream gear and Stefan tried to silicone cast his own hotend silicone socks. This episodes news cover their efforts to replace their current video editing software with DaVinci Resolve 16, the World of Tanks DMCA Takedown that happened on Thingiverse, Article 13 status and Makerbots Red Dot Design Award. Both are discussing how much material tuning they usually do for their prints and what a good approach could be.

Over Coffee® is on hiatus through the Christmas holidays.  We'll be rebroadcasting some of our most popular episodes of 2017.  Thank you for listening–and be sure to be with us for our coverage of CES 2018! Alan Timm (l) and Walter Martinez (r) with one of RSSC's early battling robots. How would you like to start building your first robot? Or, if you already have, would you like to learn even more about your next ones? The Robotics Society of Southern California is waiting to help. A nonprofit organization which has been in existence since the 1970s, Robotics Society of Southern California, or RSSC, is geared towards helping anyone with an interest in robotics.  And that includes total beginners. In March, we had the opportunity to talk with RSSC vice-president Alan Timm and secretary Walter Martinez.  We discussed the RSSC. robots in general--and the InMoov, the world's first 3D printed robot, in particular.  At the time of our conversation, Alan had completed his InMoov, and Walter was in the process of 3D printing and building his. On this edition of Over Coffee® you'll hear: How Alan and Walter first became involved in robotics; How makers are creating prosthetic hands through nonprofit E-Nable; What's involved in building the InMoov; What the InMoov can currently do; The directions in which Walter, Alan and their fellow roboticists are going, as they experiment with the InMoov's capabilities; How the Robotics Society of Southern California was created in the 1970s; What Walter, who teaches robotics, would tell a beginner about creating a first robot; How both Alan and Walter first became involved with RSSC; What a beginner can expect, the first time attending an RSSC meeting; An exciting major contest in which RSSC will be participating on June 10: the Fire Fighting Robot Contest; Some misconceptions about the InMoov; What Alan and RSSC are currently teaching the InMoov; How Gael Langevin came to create the 3D printed InMoov robot; Where to find  “Alan's Robot Lab” online, and Walter's “Robotics City“, which includes a kit he created for children; The resources each of them recommend to fellow roboticists as they get started; Alan and Walter's favorite stories about life with robots; AND, a good mistake each of them made, from which they learned, that can encourage any of us as we build robots!
