Can a 3D Printer Make Its Own Commercial? CowabungaCreation 2026-02-21 | In this video, I break down how I produced an official commercial for the Prusa Research Core One.I was commissioned by Prusa Research to create a 15-second spot, and this behind-the-scenes video documents the full production process — from concept development to final delivery.The concept followed an inception-style approach: the printer “makes its own commercial” by printing the production hardware used to film it. Camera rig components, lighting tools, calibration objects, practical effects — all designed in CAD and printed in-house.This project explores how 3D printing can integrate directly into professional filmmaking workflows.⸻Download the printed production tools:Mountable Stand:printables.com/model/1608591-prusa-commercial-bts-mountable-standAdapter Collar (for weights):printables.com/model/1608577-prusa-commercial-bts-adapter-collarCalibration Cube (25mm middle grey reference):printables.com/model/1608571-prusa-commercial-bts-calibration-cubeFake Filament Spool:printables.com/model/1608546-prusa-commercial-bts-fake-filament-spoolRainbow Tunnel:printables.com/model/1608533-prusa-commercial-bts-rainbow-tunnelPortable Mini Green Screen:printables.com/model/1608523-prusa-commercial-bts-portable-mini-green-screen3D Printed Diffusion Panel:printables.com/model/1608430-prusa-commercial-bts-diffusion-panel⸻If you’re interested in the Prusa Core One, you can check it out here:http://www.prusa3d.com/#a_aid=CowabungaCreation(This is an affiliate link, which helps support the channel at no extra cost to you.)⸻Chapters:00:00 Intro + Mikolas Cameo00:36 The Commercial Challenge (15-Second Hook)01:51 Early Ideas & The Aha Moment03:10 The Focus Group Experiment05:08 Designing & Printing the Custom Gear09:08 Practical Effects: Green Screen & Rainbow Tunnel12:26 How the Timelapse Was Done13:33 The Final Commercial15:44 What’s Next?#3dprinting #creative #prusapcoreone #prusa 3d printed tools, 3d printer, 3d printer timelapse, 3d printing, cad design, cinematic product video, cinematic timelapse, cowabunga, cowabunga creation, filmmaking behind the scenes, filmmaking bts, fusion 360, how to film a commercial, motion control, product commercial, product video, prusa commercial, prusa core one, prusa research, timelapse, prusa research core one,prusa, core one, 3d printed, prusa 3d printer, creative idea, multimaterial, review
How Framework Decides What to Build: Izzie Cao | Prototype to Product Episode 6 CowabungaCreation 2026-09-19 | Izzie Cao built combat robots in college, ran a parts shop out of her mom's basement until her mom said no, and still calls the water jet her favorite tool on earth. Now she's a product manager at Framework — the laptop company where you can actually replace the parts — and when everyone told Framework to make a mechanical keyboard, she made a wireless keyboard with a clicky trackpad instead. This episode: why every feature has a cost, why nobody thinks about the pallet, and why all ideas are good ideas when you're brainstorming. Plus the print of the week, which is a toilet.🏆 THE KONDOR BLUE CONTEST IS CLOSED — 334 camera-accessory entries came in. Judging is underway.

Kofi Yeboah Explains His Design Process: Prototype To Product Episode 5 CowabungaCreation 2026-09-12 | Kofi Yeboah shot a documentary at -42° — the camera screen stopped working, so he pulled focus by guessing and got about a minute with his gloves off before his hands quit.

Then our Designer of the Week, Nick Bacon, who printed other people's files for two and a half years before he designed his first thing — and whose contest entry is a lens dock he built because the caps were always in another room.🏆 ENTER THE CONTEST — closes MONDAY, September 14 at 23:59 UTC (4:59 pm Pacific / 7:59 pm Eastern):prototype2product.comprintables.com/contest/522-prototype-to-product-camera-accessoriesDesign a camera accessory.
