YouTube just deleted my channel. I haven't done anything. What????????? @TeamYouTube
Over 1 year since launching this and over 3 years since channel was deleted. I think we can all know this was just a PR stunt now.
Today is the day we're launching our pilot program to give some previously terminated creators a chance to rejoin YouTube.
We know there's a lot of interest and questions – key points below:
* What’s happening? Starting today, some previously terminated creators will have the opportunity to request a new YouTube channel. Not every eligible creator will have the option to request a new channel right away – we’re rolling this out slowly as we carefully review requests and learn from the pilot.
* What does a new channel mean? Creators accepted through this pilot can create new channels. A new channel means a fresh start – creators can build back their community, upload old content (that follows our Community Guidelines), and apply for YPP once their new channel is eligible.
* How will YouTube review requests? We'll consider a variety of factors like the severity or persistence of the original violations, or whether a creator’s on- or off-platform activity harmed or may continue to harm the YouTube community.
* Who isn’t eligible? Terminated creators are not eligible to request a new channel until one year after their termination date. Also, not every type of channel termination will be eligible for this pilot. For example, creators terminated for copyright infringement or those who violated our Creator Responsibility policies.
* What about appeals? Creators can still appeal if they want our team to take another look at their original channel termination. This option is available for one year after a termination.
* Important Reminder: Our Community Guidelines and other policies still apply, and creators will not have another opportunity to return to YouTube if they are terminated again.
We’re looking forward to providing an opportunity for creators to start fresh and bring their voice back to YouTube.

Been using Claude to design 3mf files to 3D print and it is astonishingly good. Even with creativity.
I just say "design me a good party favor or prize with the theme of my party" and it not only designs a perfect model - it makes something I would have never thought of.

Working on a new tool that automatically reverse-engineers 3D scans into really good CAD geometry. This example took a good hour, but man, does it look good and clean!
I’m unable to give my opinion on this without risking California suing everyone I know. So - no comment.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
ATF Releases NFA guidance in response to the Texas NFA lawsuit:
"Effective October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and “any other weapon[s]” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the litigation."

So, I recently did a thing that I have been working on for a while. I published a book!
We are always being asked "What type of laser do you have?" Or "How can I do that?" When folks see the things we make.
So, this book is the first in a series for folks who want to learn about lasers and laser engraving. I wrote it in my no BS style. No fluff, no shilling, just facts. This first one is for folks who havent purchased a laser engraver yet and need some help to figure out where to start.
The next books in the series will be more indepth on how the lasers actually work, how you can make money with said lasers, and then more advanced techniques like bending lasers with your mind 😉.
I started writing this one last September thinking "I'll totally have it published by newyears". So, I would like to think the next book will come out in Jan, but we will see what life throws at us in the meantime.
Just wanted to share this with y'all, hope y'all are having a great week!

No good deed goes unpunished. I hate YouTube and Lawyers. I started 3D printing in 2019-2020. I learned a lot from your videos and BOOK.
Fun times

Wanted to take advantage of the training at high weights to see what I can bench press touch and go (no pause). Just did 240lbs. Nice
