It's back!

First off thank you all for the wait, I know it's been a while.

In this episode I put a tonne of work into getting these 3D prints to sit nicely and smooth out any imperfectsions. There were so many more setbacks than I planned for and just about every step of this process went wrong. But, this is all part of learning and I can't beat myself up too much. You learn more through your mistakes than your successes.

I'm back to my regular uploads so you can expect a new video every 2 weeks (1 week to film, 4 days to edit, 3 days off to work on other things)

Thank you all again for sticking with me. I hope you enjoy all the videos to come as we wrap up this Stagea build this year and start mixing in other projects.


Enjoy the video.
