Howdy all!

Welcome to the latest episode of Eclectic ChitChat!



Today, I am leading a foray into the world of 3D Printing! Those of you who have been with acquainted with me for a while, know that I had a 3D Printer for a bit and utilized it both industriously and within the hobbyist field... albeit my experience was short lived... More on that within the episode. 

So I brought in 2 much more experienced fellows to bring a much broader and established knowledge base onto the scene.

 

This episode is a nice break from the current events, but I highly suggest giving it a watch because of just how darn helpful the 3D Printing technology is!

Long time followers of the podcast will remember my good friend, Conner Neeley from the episode "My Kingdom for a Kalthoff" ( https://youtu.be/4rCHHsKWN04 ). He returns to help share his experience and insight within the arena of real world 3D Printing applications within the "industrial" setting.



You'll also recognize our regular Roundtable Co-host, Clifton Jones! Turns out, his professional status is ALL ABOUT 3D Printing and modeling. So between the two of them, LOTS of applicable and easily digestible tips and tricks are touched upon in this episode.



We actually get to watch Clifton model a Smoking Pipe within his modeling program, LIVE. 

And towards the end, I reveal a custom designed print that Clifton put together, and I actually field tested for him! So stick around to see what it is!

I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed being a part of it!
