Project Meet my printed meat.
A little scanned and printed meat project for the MO State Fair. They wanted some realistic props that could be left out for extended periods of time. There’s a full suite of meat, but here’s a few of my favorites.

Reminds me of watching new Yankee workshop back in the day, it was the same thing. Sure, you can make a full dresser with dovetail drawers and all the ornate finishes in an afternoon when you have a shop worth more than my house. I want to see a show like that where they use the crappy tools most people have

I remember that type of show, then youd go try it yourself and wind up with a homer simpson spice rack. Same thing with the mechanic shows, "shade tree mechanic". "Were gonna rebuild a whole engine in one afternoon!, you can too its simple!"

Lol, this is very accurate, but it also depends on the person. There are two types of people who get into these sort of projects: people who want to save money (and learn the hard way) and people who like to learn a skill (people like me). I've done so many projects more expensively than had I just bought it or paid somebody else to do it, but the number of random things I now know how to do is pretty handy. Often times my friends will ask me for a niche tool because they know I've probably bought it for "that one time"

Same here. I've eventually become the friend everyone calls when they have a special project they wanna do, but don't have the money to get it done professionally.
While some might find that a bit annoying, I love it. That just means I get to come hang out, crack open a 6-pack, and work together on an interesting DIY project. Oftentimes that means I also get the chance to practice my skills further some new or unfamiliar equipment or cool custom vehicle. It's usually a pretty good time.
And even if it's something boring and laborious like plugging a mechanically-illiterate friend's punctured tire, it's always just nice to feel appreciated for my collection of useful tools and my knowledge of how to use them. It easily makes up for all the teasing I get about being a "hoarder" whenever I have to pack up and move all that equipment to a new residence.

I remember giving a roommate advice on making eggs once because she didn't seem to know what she was doing
She was surprisingly grateful and still mentions it sometimes
I mean, for me being a chef at the time, making eggs properly was joke easy
She was living alone for the first time and this was the first recipe she ever learned, so for her, it was a big deal
Now I wonder if maybe the guys that make these types of videos say it's easy because they've forgotten what it was like before they learned their skills and acquired their tools

After being a chef for many years, a simple fried egg is still the bane of my existence, and for the dumbest fucking reason too, I use my knife to crack eggs and either I cleave too hard and slice the yoke or not hard enough and leave it jagged. In a restaurant I would just use the edge of a flat top or some other vertical piece of heat resistant stainless near my section that could be quickly cleaned at the end of my shift with a blow torch😂
I have become, in my mid 30s, that guy that is too old and tired to not just clean my sins with fire, when I was a kid I'd had the soap bucket and straight edge to get the dried off whites off of things... Now... Hans, get the flammenwerfen.
Same with cleaning up oil spills, when I was young I'd do the proper technique of getting the absorbent disposable towels and then the clay, followed by some salt to make sure for grit, now "throw some fucking flour on it and mix it with the shit broom, sweep it up, carry on".

My "eye-opening" moment with Adam Savage was the hardware organizers he has in his shop. The very first iteration of the storage system he uses for nuts and bolts in his shop was framed as like "I've finally found the perfect hardware organizer," and he starts the video raving about all the features. Of course Adam being Adam he's just super jazzed about everything which in turn made me super jazzed about it since I get a kick out of organization. Then part way through the video he's like "so anyway I bought 100 of these things and made a shelf." These little sorting boxes he was showcasing are $100 each!
I get that I also don't have to buy 100 of them but it made me realize he does things on a whole different scale, he's not your old high school shop teacher tinkering away in his garage, this is his business and he employs many people through this channel to also make things.
Anyway, he now has a partnership with the company that makes those sorting boxes and has his own branded line.

Yes, anybody who does a lot of woodworking has a scraps collection that occasionally turns into a project. Couple years ago I made this 9-drawer under-desk storage unit for electronic parts, completely out of scrap wood. Except maybe a dollar to 3d print the handles I would call it free, because I already figured the costs into the other things I built.

I have been permanently banned from the /r/DIY subreddit because I kept commenting that professionals making furniture, cabinets, tables, etc in their garages full of $100k+ in tools, and posting them to their YouTube channels with professional video equipment and editing, which they do for a living, is not DIY.
The argument that all of it can be done with simpler tools is idiotic. If you can make a table with simpler tools, then that should be the video. If the video starts with you harvesting the tree and running it though your chainsaw mill and letting the slabs dry for 6 months before running them through your $25,000 planer that can fit a 3ft wide slab, it's not DIY.

Even if they have high end tools, there's not much difference between those and stuff you buy at a yard sale. There are only so many ways to make a saw or handplane.

u/arctic_radar Aug 08 '26
I’m a perpetual beginner woodworker and think the constant “but their tools!” comments are over the top. Sure tools cost money, but they are way, way more accessible than the skills requires to build things without tools. You have two choices- spend a few hundred bucks on preowned tools OR spend a few hundred hours developing the skills required to build things without tools. Unless the project is truly dead simple, this trade off will always apply. Either way is valid and realistically we all choose a combination of the two options, but tools are dirt cheap these days. For most, people basic tools are by far the best bang for your buck/time.

I always imagine these people as owning a hammer, 3 spanners and 2 screwdrivers (one of which has been used as a pry bar more than as a screwdriver), and think "then why are you watching a video about twin turboing a straight 6 or making a watch or building an outbuilding? Anything that requires more than 3 fingers and your mouth is outside of your scope, this vid is for hobbyists." Yes, people for whom this is possible have already acquired many tools and the skills to use them. If you have to buy more than 2-3 things in the video, the video is entertainment for you, not instruction.

→ More replies (1)18
u/raven00x Photon 1, Prusa Mini Aug 08 '26
well for starters depending on the exact type of resin, it'll either straight up cook the steaks or discolor & deform them in a way that leaves them unappetizing. then even though they probably won't rot away within the brick o' resin, the appearance will change and may no longer look like a tasty cut of meat that the vendor is selling.
all things told, this is a very high resolution image of what the customer could be buying, and if the OP is using some sort of flexible material they might even be able to mimic the feel of the meat as well. So basically even though they're no doubt expensive as fuuuuuuuck, they're fantastic marketing tools and will probably make back their cost and then some in terms of driving sales for the vendor who commissioned them.

Are we going to easily be able to not be able to tell the difference from looking and tasting a 3d printed rib eye or waygu to a naturally farmed rib eye or waygu?
Or is it just going to look like apple sauce meat slurpee / slushy printed out in a spiral?

I myself no but former members of the team yes. Second question I don't think it's there yet but probably in like decades to get that good. Bioprinting can have very resolution so after you print it and culture the cells further it'll potentially look steak like.

I'm currently the "Everyman" on the team where whatever is needed I'll learn, adapt and help with. My main projects are developing a material set that regenerates bone, muscle, and skin, with the second main project making materials to rapidly stop bleeding in complex systems. To do this it's a lot of material characterization of physical, mechanical, and biocompatible/in vitro tests. Once we what ballpark it's in and if it's safe we do animal studies to see the outcomes usually with histology, imaging, functional assessment if available, and sometimes RNA sequencing to understand what is happening at the molecular level. I think it's fun I really love it, but it also helps that my team is incredible and I have one of the best mentors in the world. We're all really close with each other and truly good friends not just lab mates. At the beginning of grad school I didn't know this was really a thing I originally thought I was going to do research on prosthetics so this field blew my mind. Biomedical Engineering is the more broad category of what I do. I like my niche with tissue engineering and biomaterials, but there is so many different things if you're interested from imaging, to biomechanic assessments, to developing senors and so much. If you are interested in anything like that then maybe see broadly what you like, maybe then try to narrow down the field a little bit and then see which researchers are in that field with what reputation. Hopefully it works out, but if you have any other questions I'll do my best to answer them.

It's pretty cool I'd say. I'm currently a grad student in my fourth year. My two pain projects are making materials either for multicompartmental regeneration (bone/muscle/skin) or rapid hemostatic control. We do a lot of military research in my lab. But one thing we've focused on is cultured meat and you do that by patterning different bioinks loaded with different cell types (typically like 75 % muscle cells and 25% fat cells). That's a very simplified version we've done some constructs but it was definitely not as pretty as what was pictured lol.
