A Youtube Channel Called Reel Robots
So what is next? As some of you know I've been throwing around the idea of a robotics Youtube channel. The notion of giving back my knowledge to the community via YouTube is intriguing. At the very least, the channel will result in a repository of videos showing current robot technology, 3D tools, and how I to use them to build robots. The channel also allow me to explore the hundreds of robot ideas in my head. Every robot build will consist of several episodes to complete (approx 6 to 8 episodes) and will be released bi-monthly. The channel will be rebranded as "REEL ROBOTS" ("REEL" as in a movie reel, as most of my robots, will look as though they stepped out of a movie) and will launch in May 2020. Robots are expensive to build as you all know, and support will be paramount. The success of this endeavor will in part be by interest, viewer participation, sponsors, merch, affiliate links, and Patreon members. If you are not yet a subscriber, please stop by my YouTube channel and subscribe its free! .
All the best,
Will
Hey this does not mean you can't sell one as a birthday gift or something right, I would even buy some class b rejected 3d body parts from that starwars robot!
For channel growth, I would really do some tech reviews and some tool tips...it's easy to produce content, and just think about yourself, whenever you get stuck using a software. You'll check YouTube...done!!
I just looked up move tool ZBrush and the first hit had 15k views on the transpose tool, you probably know him...but this is just him talking and screen recording at the same time. Super easy, compared to the work you are putting into content!
Just have those guys send you a RockPi, and make a review...good starting point!
@Dj regarding youtube:
Yeah we post on about 25 sites including reddit and many 3d printing and robot sites. It increases traffic. Nor have I. Youtube is big business now and companies are paying alot of money to advertise. So its not a validator of my work rather a foundation towards monetization. And in turn I am building a following who will be interested in Reel Robot products as they become available.When a company is asked to look over your Youtube channel to either send free product or to pay for advertisement, they look at many analytics including views, subscribers, likes vs dislikes and so on. So when only 16% of my viewers subscribe, that in turn hurts my channel's chances of gaining advertising dollars which help maintain the longevity of the channel. This is why every Youtuber begs for subscribers in their videos. I wish more people understood how the system worked. More folks might be more inclined to help a channel they liked.
As my channel is approaching 2k subs, I'm also approaching 4K hours of watch time and I'll be monetized by the end of the year...yay..this will be a big help.
If those guys from Rock Pi cannot send a free sample for Will, so he can make a review...they must be the most impoverished company in the tech industry!! They sell for 75 bucks...and even with a meager profit margin, its probably not more the twenty buck including the shipping, for a good unbiased review of their product!!
Hahah yeah. Many companies out to get a little extra robot PR! Great ones like Latte Panda, EZ Robot, And Robotis. They know a good opportunity.
Why would a company do business with another company without sending a product to test? Especially a $70 one. Lol.But not DJs responsibility to do so. Ill contact them.

Yeah, after the success of my live zbrush summit, I'm going to start a regular series on zbrush and how I use it to create parts fast. I'm going to start with a one hour live stream and then tips and trick series after that.You guys enticed me to get a 3d printer
So I did -
Well, my wife and I finished "our first" 3d print example - a success!
I am using the Creality - Cr 10S pro v2 printer - PETG filament
Now on to move exciting prints - :-)
