This might not seem practical to many but sometime someone will run into a hurdle and they will need to 3d print an object from blender and they will be so grateful for this tutorial. Edit: I am coming back to my comment to mention since ive seen this video i had to use blender to combine multiple stl files together along with editing small aspects of those parts. This definitely has been very useful to me.
Def gonna help me. I learned many skills in blender already, and was dreading needing to learn another software, just for designing my own 3d prints. 🐐
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.💯
heck yeah dad, she's gonna be a great success when she's older! I love when parents actually teach their children things. I grew up under a rock with little to no supervision and any time i asked to be taught something my dad would yell at me and say "i'm not a teacher that's what school is for!" yeahh dad like they teach you how to ride a bike, or play catch or taxes or anything helpful in life.
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.
This is amazing. I have fiddled in Blender a couple of times but it is absolutely overwhelming with its options. This video spared me what I dislike most about videos -- unnecessary chatter -- and taught me what I needed to know right away.
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!!!
Thank you. Very clearly spoken, well paced, perfect tutorial for getting started with Blender 3.4. I have been using Blender 2.7 for several years and the new interface in 3.x was really throwing me off. Watching this and following along, I am sure I will be back to creating fun things for my printer with Blender 3.4. I think anyone completely new to Blender is going to find the new interface a much smoother learning curve than I had with Blender 2.x back in the day.
Nice video. Here is a tip that will save time. Anytime you use a tool in Blender you click and let go. After Letting go there will be a small closed window in the bottom left of the viewport (3d modeling area). Clicking on that arrow in the closed menu will open it up, and allow you to make more adjustments. A good example for when this would be useful is 12:24 when doing an extrude and you want to make it more or less extruded. Or 17:11 when doing a bevel and you want more segments for a smoth curve, open up the menu in bottom left corner, and increase segments. This menu pops up in scale, rotate, loop cut, extrude, bevel, pretty much every tool you have in blender and is very essential.
I dont comment on Videos like at all, but i feel like this Video deserves it. I understood almost everything on the first try and im looking forward to doing more Things now. Thanks for the great Tutorial!
This is EXACTLY what I needed. I learned Blender like 15 years ago when it was mainly an object builder, and trying to go back today was like learning a whole new program, now that it feels mostly focused on animation and scene building. It feels like an entirely new program and I was so lost. Thanks so much!
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 too am a first timer. Although it took me several attempts I think I have it complete. I recommend users just stick with the example even if there are many attempts. Just use incremental saves when a section is complete - saves a lot of aggravation. This presentation is worth it.
i can honestly say this is the most helpful tutorial for blender i've come across, with all the keybindings being shown and the pace of the video not too quick. Thanks mate!
This video is the most effective method of convincing a Fusion 360 user that they will hate Blender. Joking aside, this video is great for the situations where I actually need to use Blender.
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
This is the video I was looking for! I love how its minimal shortcuts and you showed where you can find all the tools if needed! its so easy to follow along and it scaled perfectly on cura! Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for this! I jus got a printer and really wanted to dive in to making something. I struggled with the initial learning curve of other videos but you laid things out in a simple and practical way. Thanks a bunch!
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!
Mahalo for the excellent tutorial with pace, speaking, tool selections, and sample selection. I've been wanting to switch from Tinkercad to Blender for quite awhile now so this is a great jump-start.
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 :)
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
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 tutorial, if been trying for ages to learn blender and all of the other tutorials are going to fast and are to complex but this video is amazing. Hope you get millions of subs someday
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.
god damn it took me way to long to run into this video - thanks for not deciding to rush through and half explain all your moves halfway through the tutorial like everyone else does
Great video, the little mistakes and solutions are the nuggets that make you learn and speed up learning or cause new people headache and can really appreciate those issues. Great video, I followed along and was greeted with a sliceable print..👍
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.
Video is fantastic. I'm getting one issue though: Cura says "Model errors: the highlighted areas indicate missing or extraneous surfaces". With the intersected areas of the two objects highlighted. And when I print, one spot of intersected area seems to be empty.
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 😎
If you want change the text later, do you need redo all from scratch ? I mean, is there an history elsewhere where we can change value (for bevel for example) ? I've the feeling once you begin to modelize an object, you absolutly know what will be the result and can not change your mind mid way.
Thanks a ton! Really helped me understand the basics of blender. What would you recommend I do if I wanted to make the walls hollow? Do you have a video on that?
make sure the text is positioned into the cube. Also try switching between "fast" and "exact". Make sure the text is a solid mesh with no holes or inside-out normals
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.
"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
This might not seem practical to many but sometime someone will run into a hurdle and they will need to 3d print an object from blender and they will be so grateful for this tutorial.

If you are using a Cintiq, Pen, and Mac keyboard.
1. Shift + alt + Drag = pan
2. Ctrl +alt + Drag up/down = zoom
3. Alt + Drag = rotate view.

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👌🏻
great easy guide, this gives me the confidence I can fiddle on own models now. Time for the next lesson THANKS !
This is a brilliant guide! Just got into this kinda thing due to work. You've made this very approachable and doable! Thank you! :D
Thank you. I have used blender in past for graphics in gaming. I was thrilled to find out can use for new interest of 3D printing.
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
One of the best tutorials I have watched
Thank you! I learned more from this one tutorial than i have countless videos. I actually feel like i can work in this program now. thank you so much.

Perfect. You showed me the exact stuff I needed to know within the first 3 minutes. Thank you.
So glad this randomly popped up! Subscribed fs!
Thanks, I've manged to grasp the basics in a day. Designed a desk tidy and a mount for a Five Nights Print im working on. Great stuff for a newbie
Great video. I’ve watched a lot of videos that have just overwhelmed me but this is perfect. Thankyou.
2 minutes in I paused the video to subscribe!😁Best tutorial I've seen! Keep it up!
Some very clear instructions and easy to follow.
Just starting out with Blender and 3D printing and this is exactly what I needed. Really easy to follow instructions. Many Thanks - New Sub
You can hold CTRL to have the rotation snap to notches, which would get you 90 degrees very easily.
Great video, thank you! that is just what I needed to get acclimated to the platform and start working
This was the best explanation video I’ve ever seen
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.
Finally a Tutorial I actually can follow. Thank you
god damn it took me way to long to run into this video - thanks for not deciding to rush through and half explain all your moves halfway through the tutorial like everyone else does
Thank you. Super extreme helpful. You just save my mind from going insane learning basic Blender.
I actually feel like i can now design something useful! THANKS
Thank you for your time making this video, you have made my life easier with Blender , brilliant tutorial, and easy to follow, great job 👏👏👍👍

Thank you for an actual beginner tutorial.
Great guide! Really simple and informative, no unnecessary talk and other trash :D
Very good, at last a Blender tutorial I could understand for targetting a 3D printer. 😀
Fantastic video from which I learn a lot. Thank you. Subscribed.
Thank you! You have taken something complex and made it simple.
You are a superstar!!! This has helped me loads,many thanks!

This is really valuable. Good stuff. Thanks!
First time making anything and found your video, thanks for creating a great easy to follow vid, subscribed.
Well done, awesome pace in teaching - thank you.
Thank you😊. Very helpful and straight forward video. Exactly what I needed as a beginner
well. That was much easier than my "I'll just play with the tools...how hard can it be?" approach. Thank you. :')
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 😎

Thank you so much! Awesome video for beginners (me).
thanks for this video its been incredibly helpful!!!!! im new to 3d printing and learning as i go
Your tutorial saved my life project. Thank you so much!
Great, good to know I can model with blender and 3d print them. I really want to get into 3d printing so I can make props for cosplay and the like.
bro thank you so much
i was trying to figure out how to apply scale and then i found out i need to export it too
Every time I create the Union between the cube and the text, the cube disappears. Do you know how to fix this?
make sure the text is positioned into the cube. Also try switching between "fast" and "exact". Make sure the text is a solid mesh with no holes or inside-out normals
Thanks brother for the quick and simple tutorial! You'll be in my duas
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.
This was beautiful. Thank you!
1:35(resetting the measuring unit for 3d printer), 16:11(scaleratio1:1:1 to apply bevel)
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
excellent guide. thank you
🕶
Thank you! So helpful!
Thanks, best tutorial yet!
perfect explained 👏
