What up, mini family!? The name of the game this week has been 3D printing and PDF makin'. Jon and I have an impending class, and part of the value of the class is something we're calling a "Quick Reference Guide". It's a laminated, spiral bound booklet that goes over the information taught in the class in a succinct way that someone could have next to them at their painting table after the course is done. It took me around 10-15hrs to finish the whole thing, but I'm really happy with how it came out. I've attached a teaser to this post so you can download it and check it out. Next...let's talk 3D printing.

I have 2 upcoming sponsored videos about patreon's that reward their patrons with 3D sculpts. Part of the video is printing the models. That seems trivial enough, right? Well, not entirely. I tried to do what I did in my original 3D printing video (which we'll call the 1-toe in strategy) and I'm not getting the detail I want, so, I've deep dived on several topics. I've watched many videos about custom support placement, I've found software for validating my support placement, I've found tools to dial in my 3D printing exposure settings, and more! The video will likely be late as a result, but I hope the prints make up for it!

Lastly, I drove to Jon's house this week to shoot the podcast there! 

That's all for now, PAINT MORE MINIS!

The QRG looks great! Incredible quality and easy to follow description. It really shows that there's a lot of thought and effort behind it

The struggle of 3d printing can be real, very interested to see your process/results.

The problem with time zones is I'm asleep when they come out and other say what I want to say, but I'm going to say it anyway. The pdf is awesome, brilliant quality and I love the jovialness (not a real word but you get me drift). My question now is....when will you be putting them up for sale?

I hope we will see the fat cat!

I was thinking about selling them, but maybe further down the road when it's battle tested?

Looks like a well laid out and informative PDF. You mention battle tested .. May I suggest picking a few test drivers and letting them use it for a time period then incorporate any feedback as appropriate before putting them on sale. Example a range of skills from absolute beginner like me to one level below what you consider the skill level of the book. It would give you a cross section of feedback and a bonus to some of your patreon members.

Hey Steven, this sounds like a great idea, but at the moment this is being used by the physical classes, so I was planning on getting feedback from them. That's not to say that more feedback wouldn't be desired, however.
