And I absolutely need an intro to using motorized elements 😄
Great!! That's on my list of things I plan to cover!
Thanks for the great tutorial, looking forward to future ones!
Thank you, Patrick! Glad you joined!
Thanks Justin! Great tutorial!
Thank you so much, Marcella!
I definitely want to use these concepts to make some Christmas ornaments next winter
YES! Such a great use of these! That also gives you time to get the parts you need. :)
Thanks Justin. Great Job!
thank you so much, Paige!
Love the use of different colours to show how it all goes together. Great job on the tutorial!
Thank you for the feedback! I am glad the multicolored build was well-received!
Good morning Justin! 😊
Hi friend! Thanks for joining :)
Finally got to see this! Thanks for the link! I guess I would double to make the sphere larger, yes?
Glad you found it helpful! To make a larger sphere, you more or less double it, yes. There's a website that allows you to adjust the size using a slightly different technique called the Bram's Sphere, but it doesn't seem to work in the same way as the Lowell directly.
I may do another video later about how to upsize this! Thanks for the feedback :) I'd also love to know if there are other topics you'd like to see.
Lovely!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for those of you who were able to join the live premiere! I'd love to hear from you: What you liked, what didn't work for you, and what you'd like to see next!
Oops nice job Justin. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, friend!
