I invented a new lamp. Super impractical but hey it works. Also I don’t recommend printing upside down. I just had so that the lamp printed right side up. #bambulab #3dprinting
Don’t try this at home hahahaa. There’s not many use cases for having your 3d printer upside down but I’m glad I found one :). My P2S printer is an essential tool I use for almost all my videos and I’m glad it’s getting the spotlight it deserves!!! Link in bio for ordering one :) @bambulab_official #bambulab #bambuletsmakeit #3dprinting
This is what ties us together :) A first official @filmwcolleen x @buildwbrendan collab 👀 What should our collab account be called? #engineering
Part 2: How I made the hug ties!!!lots of fun engineering challenges here. With @filmwcolleen Shout out my buddy Jon who designed the pcbs for this :) A bit too many challenges to be completed in one day lmaoo. #engineering #tech #fashiongram
