How to 3D Print Better Miniatures: Pt. 3 Resin-quality on a FDM printer!

Learn how to print resin-like quality miniatures on a FDM printer! By adding a .2mm nozzle and using our custom Cura profile, you can achieve hyper-detailed miniatures that look like they came off a resin printer. All miniatures in this video were printed on a $200 Creality Ender 3. Cura 4.0 is recommended (not 4.2!) and using good quality PLA is essential (we recommend eSun PLA Pro.)

How to 3D Print Better Miniatures: Pt. 1 Layer Heights

Learn which layer heights work best for miniatures on your Ender 3 or Ender 5 3D printer. NOTE: Using full step numbers for layers, even when the starting Z home position is on a micro step, means it will continually use those same micro steps and even out variations/inconsistencies that would occur hitting different micro step positions for subsequent layers as the model is printed.

The Ultimate DIY Handheld Emulation Console

In this video, I put together the Ultimate Retro Emulation Handheld console using My favorite Mobile controller The Satake 7007X and an inexpensive “prepaid” “ No Contract Android phone know as the Cool Pad Legacy. This set up can play anything from NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Nintendo DS, N64 Dreamcast, and even PSP and not to mention native android games like PubG Minecraft and Call of duty mobile! It looks like Nintendo Switch Lite but this is in my option does so much more!

Raspberry Pi 4 Can Now Overclock to 2.147 GHz. Here’s How.

The Raspberry Pi 4 is much faster than every prior Raspberry Pi, but what if you could squeeze much more than the base 1.5 GHz out of its Broadcom BCM2711B0 CPU? Fortunately, it’s easy to overclock any Raspberry Pi and you can do it just by tweaking a few lines of text in the /boot/config.txt file. Now, with the latest firmware, we were able to reach a speed of 2,147 MHz, which we believe is a new high.

With prior firmware, the Pi 4 B’s processor was limited to a maximum overclocked frequency of 2 GHz, which is pretty good all by itself. However, the latest update let us push it up another 147 MHz. We were also able to increase the GPU clock speed to 750 MHz, a big boost over its 500 MHz stock speed and the 600 MHz we had overclocked it to previously.
