We are back!
After an unexpected hiatus (details inside) the SimGeeks take on a topic they are both extremely passionate about... 3D Printing! What printer should you buy, how does it work, is it expensive, what materials do you need, where do you find printable files? It's all here in our longest episode yet. So grab a beverage and settle in or maybe jump in your car for a nice sunset cruise while the Sim Geeks answer your 3D printing questions.

I did exactly what you touched on (clay sculpt, run molds) for the courses we teach two-years ago. Love it. Interested to see where you go with the mold making, how that develops with 3D printing. That’s my research now.

s s for sure. I love taking two different mediums and mixing them. I see people be critical of 3D printed parts, due to their strength or whatever. With molding, casting and clay casting, you can really take it much farther. Thanx for the comment. What classes/where did you teach them. We always love learning more.
