In this episode, we will be designing as well as 3D printing a modified Z-Stop for the AlfaWise U20 (see more here: diy3dtech.com/AlfawiseU20 )! As this has been a great CR-10 clone at cheaper price and its been a workhorse! With that said, the fix height of the existing Z-Stop was providing some challenges for some modifications I wanted to make so we turned to Fusion 360 and designed a new one! Be sure to follow along as we are going to make a couple more modifications to this little beast of a printer!

In this episode, we will be looking a cold-shoe mic adapter we designed for our Boya Mic (see more here: https://amzn.to/3bgRUNp ) to attach to an over-head filming rig we designed from 20x20 V-Slot Rail (see more here: https://amzn.to/2SnTHHV ).

![Ortur Laser - Do NOT Do This (Cutting Vinyl)!
In this episode, we will be talk about something you likely should not do! What is this you ask? That is cutting vinyl with your laser! Why you ask, the burning of vinyl can release Chorine gas which is BAD in fact very bad! However I have received a lot of questions about this material so because I have a sealed system with a substantial air evacuation system I decided to give it a go and even for being sheet goods (i.e. very thin) it still did off-gas quite a bit.

![Design Talk - Happy Wife Happy Life With 3D Printing!
In this episode, we will be making the Wife happy and you know that means! Happy wife, happy life and we will use 3D printing to achieve this! You see, over 2019 we been building a new shop (maybe even two) as well as a house for her and she wanted to replace the contractor grade exterior lights, however because the way they where recessed and the type of light she wanted. Well they didnt fit, however though the magic of 3D printing I was able to design a custom gaskets to shim the light out and create a lasting weather tight seal! With this, I am hoping to inspire you with both application as well as design ideas to move 3D printing into being a practical tool for everyday use!

![Design Talk - Designing and Printing a Camera Phone Stand to Record Animated GIFs!
So all the cool kids these days are creating these animated GIF things so why should they have all the fun right? So we decided to jump in feet first and do time-lapse GIFs too! However we wanted to do them in portrait orientation rather then boring ole landscape and to do these we would start with a time-lapse video then convert it on-line to a GIF however we needed two things (1) a way to hold my old iPhone 4s in portrait mode and (2) to be able to position the phone on the table at the right height to film my Monoprice Mini Delta (see more here: http://diy3dtech.com/monopricemini_delta ). So we did the only thing a self respecting 3D Design enthusiast would do and designed our own solution and too we made it parametric on top of that! So why the STL is for the iPhone 4s, the fusion 360 file is parametric mean you enter phones dimensions and Fusion will generate one to fit your phone! Also we used standard ball head (see more here: https://amzn.to/2PyvXQP ) to mount on top a duck foot mount to hold the camera.
