![Design Talk - 3D Printable Cabinet Handle Jig!
So we have been building a house over the 2 years and while the bulk is done there seems like a ton of small details and one was adding handles to new cabinetry which was added afterwards, however we needed to ensure the handles match perfectly in location (my wife is super picky when it comes to symmetry) so we designed this! Its a blank Hardware Knob Handle Pull Drill Mounting Template for Cabinet Doors (see more here: https://amzn.to/3d5yKtv ). Now I have a commercial set (again as shown here: Hardware Knob Handle Pull Drill Mounting Template for Cabinet Doors and Drawers ) however since this is our retirement home we went with large spaced handles so our arthritic hands would have an easy time grasping the handles, however the hole spacing was too far off to match the commercial templates. So I printed these, removed the handle from one door, held the blank template up by hand and drilled out the holes. This left us with a perfect match to drill out the new cabinets to match!
I also added the Fusion 360 files so if you want to modify it for either size or programmaticly your own holes you can!

![Design Talk - 3D Printable Spider Pod for Shooting B Roll !
In this episode, we will be looking at a new design we came up with for a smaller camera stand to shoot B-Roll. We started at the sketch book and then turned to Fusion 360 to create this rather unique stand which is basically only one part!
As it is really just one leg replicated three (3) times and we use three 1/4-20 nylong bolts (see more here: https://amzn.to/2wGOmE6 ) to form the adjustable legs and yes before ask you can use metal [bolts] however it just make the stand a little heaver. Also there is 20mm center 1/4-20 nylon bolt (see more here: https://amzn.to/38ymjUI) which cinchs the three legs to a mini-ball head (see more here: https://amzn.to/2TBtuHI ). With this legs can be moved as needed to get into tight spaces as well as the 1/4-20 leg bolt can be used to level or angle the platform for what ever effect your looking for. This also makes for a low profile assembly too, so it is not so conspicuous to leave somewhere for those long times lapse and when your done it packs up small!

![My Dear John Letter From AutoDesk for Fusion 360!
In this episode, I am asking for your help! As I finally got my Dear John letter from AutoDesk for my Fusion 360 license and it was BIG no! Seems hobby businesses are no longer allowed under the startup licensing terms and the sort of free-hobbyist version is ham-stringed for non-commercial use so what should I do? Pay the money to AutoDesk for a license which will take away from something else (I am not made of money), or should I switch platforms? Long story short, since my goal is to create videos for my subscribers, I would like to hear your feedback, what would you folks like to see? Let me know in the comments below!
P.S. While didnt cover it in the video (as it ran a little longer then I wanted), yes I did appeal the decision and it has been almost a month and no answer. So I assume it is so sad so sorry, live with it and hence seeking you the viewers advice as to what you like to see!

![3D Print Air Quality - Any Cubic Low Order Resin How Safe Is It?
In this episode, we will be taking a look at the ANYCUBIC 3D Printer Resin with Low Odor and Safety, 405nm UV Plant-Based Rapid Resin with High Precision and Quick Curing for LCD 3D Printing (see more here: https://amzn.to/2R64gPP ). We will do some tests with our Air Quality Meter (see more here: https://amzn.to/3aIKVw8 ).
Update Note: As mentioned in the video, we noticed as the resin cured the levels of formaldehyde rose and when exposed to UV in mass this accelerated rapidly as well as an matching increase in VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) along with micro-particles (less then 2.5 PPM in size). This also appears to be a general theme with resin based systems. It is also worth note it appears to propositional with the amount of curing or UV exposure. We have created a video on this and it will be released soon! So again please vent your printers!
