Ever since I started 3D printing, I have relied on many people who post videos of their experiences on YouTube and other web sites.

In the fall of 2016, I started researching and assembling some video gear so that I could give back to the community by sharing some of my experiences.  Unfortunately, some family issues distracted me for a while, but, I am finally ready to start some live streaming to share some of my adventures.  Here is some of the gear that I am currently using for live streaming and editing video.

This computer was added because the Creative Computer could not handle multiple webcam inputs, running the creative software, encoding and uploading simultaneously.  Using a stand alone computer seemed like the best solution.
