"I feel like I'm gonna break this thing!"
Description
The Noisy Cricket blaster, from the movie Men in Black, has been on Bill's list to make for years! Resin 3D printing, molding and casting, electronics, and stellar metallic painting really bring this prop to life! Bill has spent years learning Fusion 360 to be able to make 3D models like this and would love to show you how! Check out our new course:
