Like to make? Like to make videos about what you make? Then we want to hear from you. We’re looking for makers with an interest in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and 3D printing who want to share their projects and tips on video with the MAKE community. We’re also keen on CNC, joinery, woodworking, welding, and kid projects, and really any project that showcases the spirit of making and your enthusiasm.
How much time and effort do you put in to choosing the perfect Christmas gift? If you’re like my wife and I, it’s far too much. It is practical? Will they use it?

Streamed live on December 11, in this Toolsday episode, Eric Weinhoffer and Michael Castor walk through the 3D Printing “Toolchain,” the software needed to go from 3D Model to printed part. This is especially useful for those of you who recently purchased a 3D Printer from the Maker Shed, or plan to acquire one in the near future.
