Can You 3D Print a Ship in a Bottle?

 

I decided to take on the classic "ship in a bottle" challenge but with a modern twist. Instead of building it piece by piece with tweezers, I wanted to see if I could use my Bambu Lab A1 to create this impossible object.

In this video, I’m taking you along on the journey of designing, slicing, and figuring out how to fit a solid 3D print into a bottle with a neck way too small for the boat. There were a few failures, some close calls, and a lot of problem-solving to make this work! 🖨️ PRINTER USED: Bambu Lab A1 with AMS Bambu Lab A1 Mini 👇 CHAPTERS: 0:00 - The Impossible Challenge 0:45 - Designing the Ship 2:30 - The "Secret" Technique 5:15 - Printing on the Bambu A1 8:00 - The Assembly (The Hard Part!) 10:30 - The Final Reveal

Aventon E-Bike Adventure

Friends, Welcome back, it's been a minute! I'm stoked to be back with this fun adventure with Aventon. I've wanted an electric bike for the longest! I love riding bikes, it's one of my favorite ways to adventure outdoors. So when I heard my buddy Ben Paik of @WobyDesign was going to return an E-bike from Aventon that was just a little to big to fit in his new van conversion build out, I jumped at the chance to take it off his hands. I reached out to Aventon and Explained how much I'd love to try out their Sinch E-bike and give my honest review.

Aventon is such a rad company and they agreed to let me test out the Aventon Sinch foldable E-bike. I picked up the red E-bike from Ben's shop and took her for a test spin around the block and instantly fell in LOVE. I named her Ruby that day. After a few days of cruising around with the Sinch E-bike, my Husband @nobadtides was having trouble keeping up with me and Ruby on his regular pedal bike. So I wrote to Aventon again and explained how I'd love to add a second Sinch bike to our family so that my husband could keep up with me. I went back for another adventure to Ben's shop to pick up the boxed e-bike and immediately unboxed her once I got home.

The boxed e-bike was a stunning emerald green that Eric named Jade. Once we were all charged up we took them for a few spins around town. Then we really hooked up our bikes with surf racks and cruised to the beach for a surf photo session. Big thank you and shout to @kevfoto2012 on Instagram for catching some epic shots of Eric surfing in the water, while I capture him on shore. I can't wait to take the Aventon E-bike camping and to the desert, I know we'll have many more adventures and I can't wait. Thank you again Friends for watching today's Vlog and until our next video together. Cheers it up! Big Thank you to Aventon for adding us to the family, we love our new bikes! be sure to check out there website: http://aspireiq.go2cloud.org/aff_c?of... Huge shout out and Thank you to my Buddy Ben Paik of @WobyDesign he's the best! check out his channel and follow along on his new van build its going to be epic!

Easy Colorful Mural and Office Refresh with The Home Depot

I partnered with my friends at Home Depot and BEHR Paints to create a super graphics mural in our guest room / home office. I used five different BEHR Paints colors (listed below) in this fun and funky mural that bounces around the room including the ceiling. Then I finished off the room by doing a full office refresh.

I partnered with my friends at Home Depot and BEHR Paints to create a super graphics mural in our guest room / home office. I used five different BEHR Paints colors (listed below) in this fun and funky mural that bounces around the room including the ceiling. We all have our favorite stores that we love to shop at, and for me that fun place is The Home Depot. I often find myself visiting once a week to check out the newest tools, plants, and yes of course the paints. I swung by the BEHR Paints section to get inspired by their amazing variety of paint colors. It was hard to choose just one, so I ended up choosing multiple colors to work with. I picked out five colors that I really loved and arranged them in the order that I felt worked best. I had the Home Depot paint counter mix the colors for me in the color sample size. I got one sample size for each color, which was plenty of paint for this project. The color samples are a great price point at around $4 each. https://www.homedepot.com/ https://www.behr.com/consumer/ Material list all found at Home Depot : Both Yellow and Green Frog Tape https://www.homedepot.com/p/FrogTape-...

Building a Custom Redwood Hot Tub Surround for Our Coleman Inflatable Hot Tub | DIY Tutorial

Hey friends! I’m sharing how I built a custom redwood surround for our inflatable Coleman hot tub (from @Lowes). This project combines woodworking skills, a little creativity, and a lot of fun! Let's get to it.

How to Build a Hot Tub Surround

🔨 Step-by-Step Process 1️⃣ Foam Base Template: Started with a 1/2” foam base from Amazon, trimmed 6 inches, and used it as a guide to trace the hot tub’s shape onto brown construction paper. 2️⃣ Framing the Structure: Cut arcs from 2x12 lumber using a jigsaw (and later a bandsaw for more accurate cuts). 3️⃣ Assembly: Used my @FestoolUSA Kapex miter saw and @KregToolCompany Foreman jig to add pocket holes for easy assembly. 4️⃣ Redwood Covering: Covered the frame with redwood boards, sealing them with @TotalBoat Gleam varnish for durability and shine. 5️⃣ Finishing Touches: Added angled top boards, filled nail holes with a glue-and-sawdust mix, and installed COB LED string lights for a beautiful glow at night. 🛠️ Hot Tub Cover Hack I modified the Coleman cover by removing snaps, cleaning it with acetone, and separating the insulated sections to improve heat retention. 🌟 Materials & Tools Used: Foam mat for under hot tub: https://amzn.to/4gJuWyN Redwood boards (Thank you @MendocinoForestProducts!) TotalBoat products: Gleam Varnish & Lust Varnish (Shop TotalBoat) Tools from @FestoolUSA, @KregToolCompany, and more!
