#illusion #3dprinting #3dprinted3D Printing in 2018- THESE are the Most Viewed Videos!?Potent Printables2019-02-08 | I went searching for the Most Viewed 3D printing videos of 2018. The list that YouTube, Google, and some 3D printing websites gave me was riddled with clickbait.
I’m concerned that newcomers to 3D printing will have these videos presented to them and get a completely wrong impression.
So I decided to make a well researched, unbiased list that is made up of quality 3D printing content. Links to all the videos in that list can be found below.
NOTE: The data I show (especially the view counts) are based on research conducted on 1-18-2019 to 1-21-2019. The videos continue to get views and could change ranking order over time, so keep that in mind. Also search results are personalized, so that can have an influence as well.

#3dprinting #3dprinted #mostviewed #youtubeThe First Home Gaming Controller, 3D Printed | Old and New, Episode 2Potent Printables2019-01-27 | I take a look at the design of the first home video gaming controller for the Magnavox Odyssey. The Odyssey was released in the US in 1972 and the gaming controller that came with it looks very different than the controllers of today.
Original Odyssey systems sell for hundreds of dollars so I decided to design and then 3D print my own functional approximation of the controller. That way I could see how it plays first hand.
I paired the printed controller with a simple Arduino DIY (linked below) that allows one to play Pong on an Arduino.
The “Old and New” video series looks at older mechanisms, designs and the like. These will then be recreated or re-imagined using 3D printing.

As a small content creator on YouTube, there can be huge variability in how much YouTube itself is recommending your content. I show this by comparing “Browse Features” and “Suggested Video” data across YouTube channels ranging in size from 550,000 to 98 subscribers.
I also discuss why I believe it is so important to have viewers **already** on YouTube receiving suggestions to view your content, if you want to grow your channel. Finally, I want people who are just starting or thinking about starting a YouTube channel to know the reality of what this involved in 2018.

Then I use 3D printing to design a modern version, which lets you turn your cell phone into a digital Etch-A-Sketch.
If you want to 3D print the newer version, links to the STL files, full parts list and affiliate links can be found below.
The “Old and New” video series intends to look at older mechanisms, designs and the like. These will then be recreated or re-imagined using 3D printing.

This is cheaper than buying the raw supplies which are listed below. The raw supplies would give you enough material to build 6x Cell Phone Sketchers, but has a higher total cost.
