FINALLY! A new episode.

It took a bit to get this out there. Not because we didn't record it, but because A.J. found excuse after excuse not to edit and publish it. Lucky for you he finally found the time and finally felt like doing the stuff that needed to be done.

This episode Alex and A.J. talk about their new 3D printer and how it is holding up after a month of running almost constantly. Listen to them talking about the good and the not so good (if any?) of the Bambulab P1S.

AJ and Alex answer a question of a listener on the different options for stream decks and the advantages of choosing one with buttons over dials.

The main topic of today is our workshop setups and the reasons behind our choice of tool ecosystems. We discuss the convenience of cordless tools and the cost considerations of battery swapping. The episode concludes with a discussion on the various tools found in their workshops, including routers and CNC machines.

Takeaways

Consider your specific needs when choosing between stream decks with buttons or dials. Assigning profiles and scenarios can enhance the functionality of your devices. Specialized hardware can improve efficiency in video and photo editing workflows. When setting up a workshop, choose a tool ecosystem that allows for battery swapping and cost-effective use. Cordless tools offer convenience and flexibility, but consider the frequency of use before investing in specialized devices.
