(http://www.pdexposures.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/todd-photo-for-show-page-300x300.jpg)WE’RE BACK! The Pinhole Podcast gang took a break from their extended holiday to talk to a most excellent friend of the show, Todd Schlemmer. Todd is, amongst many other things, a printer of 3D pinhole cameras, and he talks to us about his process, sharing a lot of helpful hints and interesting tidbits along the way. Please check him out at Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/schlem/designs) - you can find his Twitter and Flick links there, as well!

Below, a wealth of links for several topics that came up through the show, as well as some links Todd has shared with us - if we missed any, or if you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions, drop us a line on Twitter or Facebook!

From Todd: Here's a cheezy video I made to demonstrate how 3D printers make stuff. My first 3D printer, the printrbot is printing a skulltruder drive gear for my 3d printer. It's kind of crude, but you can see how the toolpathing works: YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFnkdYUqQWs)
