I just spun up a new channel for 3D Printing content!

https://youtube.com/

If you've followed my Mike in the Woods channel for a while, you'll know that I used to feature 3D printed content--in the context of backpacking & camping equipment.

Dedicated videos for that don't really mesh well with the PEV & EV centric direction of the channel, but I still love 3D printing and making videos out of it--so I spun up a new channel.

I've been doing two videos a week for Mike in the Woods as a test pilot to see if I can handle making two videos a week, which I can. So I'm going to drop back to one a week for MitW in order to preserve the video quality (been burning through video ideas way too quickly), and start posting some stuff to R3DP to see how it does.

Practical 3D prints for the real world! This channel is about showcasing useful 3D printing projects for camping gear, every day carry (EDC), tech accessories, tools, gaming gear, and repairs & upgrades.

The Aptera will unironically be one of the best vehicles--EV or gas--for off-grid living & adventuring. Between the Right-To-Repair design philosophy behind its construction, and the integrated 700w of solar panels--the Aptera's futuristic aesthetic belies a surprisingly effective remote adventure vehicle
