Learn Blender for 3D Printing - Complete Quick and Easy Guide (Beginner)

As an absolute Blender Beginner, this helped a lot ! There are so many little symbols and you showed perfectly the one im looking
for great job👌🏻

Next time try adding "Solidify" modifier to your text (after it's converted to a mesh) it will make it way easier to change the thickness of it without the extruder tool and vertex selection.

Very good video, well done and well explained. IMO it is good to do a few sample creations first instead of studying the menu system for 3 chapters, like some books do. After making a few objects, you will better understand the functionality of the menus.

well. That was much easier than my "I'll just play with the tools...how hard can it be?" approach. Thank you. :')

I had only printed a few designs before (downloaded), but I wanted to modify a file a little bit to personalise it. I've never used Blender before and it was a bit daunting. In this video, I could find everything I wanted to know, not only the very basics like zooming, rotating, etc, but was also able to add text, and used the boolean modifier to add it to my design. By achieving this, instead of feeling frustrated, I'm ready to take more advanced challenges, thanks so much for your time and effort doing this video. It is awesome! THANK YOU!!!

If you want to spawn the text on a surface when you add it, you can do that by setting the cursor on that surface (with the cursor tool: The red and white ring) and then adding the text.

You can hold CTRL to have the rotation snap to notches, which would get you 90 degrees very easily.

Great guide! Really simple and informative, no unnecessary talk and other trash :D

Fantastic video, thank you.

Thanks. After have a 3D printer, I learn how to edit stl file. Pretty great guide.

Awesome thank you

"You can see it's bugging out; that means it's working" ... a more comprehensive statement of a newbie's experience of Blender I have not heard. XD

Best tutorial for beginners, amazing! Thanks!

I love this tutorial. It makes me more confident in using Blender.
One question left, why do we need ctrl-a to normalize the design in the end ?

wow thanks very much for this, just got my 3d printer and was worried it would be difficult to make my own stuff, but this 20 minute video has pretty much cleared up everything to get me started on some masic custom items

thanks for this video its been incredibly helpful!!!!! im new to 3d printing and learning as i go

how many years later and i still hate blender

any tutorials on football pads? way harder than foam.

Im not sure if I didn't search well enough or what, but man was it difficult to find just a great tutorial like this one that shows you what to do with SOMETHING! Other people tell you to download a file that has acrzy premade 3D model hahaha. Great video, this deserves a lot of love!

Thank you for this well-paced video. I needed something that I could simply follow along to create a 3D printable object and this was perfect! You didn't start explaining all the modes, all the tools, all the screen elements, etc. You just guided me through the creation of an object with just what I needed to know. I find this the easiest learning method.

Other videos annoying explain too much that I'll never remember and they manage to do things, skipping steps, so that I can't really follow what they're doing. You took the time, and I love that the mouse operations are also shown in the corner of the video as you go.

There are things that I don't fully understand, but I was still able to follow you and create an object. Next step is for me to practice creating something on my own and I think I can finally do that... or at least make a faithful attempt!

I set down with my daughter who is 13 on separate pcs, and followed this video. Absolutely amazing tutorial. Neither one of us have ever used blender, or built any models. Thank you so much ! Results are printing now.💯

I have found this very helpful actually thank you very much. I am new to blender and found it overwhelming asf. I still do but at least now I know basics 😎

One of the best tutorials I have watched

can't get past the second stage of bevelling the edges towards the end just wont let me select the ones I wanna select and when i do it just goes all over the place

I get how you extrude the shapes and then add the modifier to cut it out but can anyone explain how to use it with a specific dimension? For example cut a hole 12mm deep into a 20mm shape

hello nice video, an information, I'm a beginner but when you make an object for the 3d printer isn't it better to have the highest number of polygons? like doing a remesh etc? or is it not necessary? Thank you

I just bought a 3D printer and this tutorial is going to be so useful. Thanks!

VERY stupid question but no vid has it. Click 'General' or 'sculpting' for 3d printing?

2 minutes in I paused the video to subscribe!😁Best tutorial I've seen! Keep it up!

Love it! Most comprehensible tutorial I've seen. Thanks a bunch!!!! As others have commented learned more in your vid than pointless hours spent elsewhere

Thank you! You have taken something complex and made it simple.

thank you this video was very informative thank you so much for making it im new to design this got me started thank you steven

Can you make a guide on how to make an electrical toothbrush holder as I don't know what I'm doing and I'm struggling to find an appropriate video on how to make it

great video ! a good starting point for a beginner trying to learn the essentials

Finally a Tutorial I actually can follow. Thank you

great vid!

I have just purchased my first 3D printer and, I would like to thank you for your tutorial, simple to follow and incredibly helpful 👍👏

I just made a box thanks for the help

thank you, that was extremely helpful

Thank you Steven!

Wow! This was fantastic learning! Thank you so much! I feel like I can design anything now lol 🎉

спасибо

This is really valuable. Good stuff. Thanks!

Just found this. Extremely helpful. All complicated until you can design a box and get familiar with the modes. I really appreciate videos like this. Well done! Ill definitely be back for more :)

Awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. I just got a 3d printer and want to make custom parts for my Can Am Spyder. Thank you very much. I also subscribed!!!!!

Great video. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Finally someone who brings Bender down to a level that is understandable to us neophytes. I've learn more in the 20 minutes of watching your tutorial than the past week of all the others. You knock them out of the park. Your pace is awesome, your explanations and demos are perfect. I am an ex-trainer and created training videos for the state that I live so I do know about the process. You did great. I will be solely following you on Bender. I have 3.5.1 and there are some differences but not enough to cause any problems. Please keep this up.
