"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.
Hopefully this will help a lot of people :)

This someone is me, hi. Thanks a bunch!
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. 🐐
why
Awesome job! I've been scared of even trying Blender, but you made it extremely approachable. 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.
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 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!
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.💯
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.
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!
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 :)
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!!!
Amazing! First time making a 3D container thanks to you! Thank you so much! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I don't have a 3d printer and I also can't make anything in blender.
ok? get gud@@LukeSmoke
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.
Umm, i read your comment in a youtube channel called Bro Code, in the c++ tutorial, the comment over here is exactly the same from that comment. Weird
@@pranavshankar2417f**king bots, man… UA-cam has GOT to start doing something about them
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.
Great video. I’ve watched a lot of videos that have just overwhelmed me but this is perfect. Thankyou.
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
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👌🏻
Just starting out with Blender and 3D printing and this is exactly what I needed. Really easy to follow instructions. Many Thanks - New Sub
This is perfect timing for me, just what I was trying to teach myself!
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!
great easy guide, this gives me the confidence I can fiddle on own models now. Time for the next lesson THANKS !
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
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
Great video, thank you! that is just what I needed to get acclimated to the platform and start working
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.
I just bought a 3D printer and this tutorial is going to be so useful. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial thanks, no B.S. intros or other timewasters, just straight to the point
One of the best tutorials I have watched
Well done, awesome pace in teaching - thank you.
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
Some very clear instructions and easy to follow.
Thank you! You have taken something complex and made it simple.
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
If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out!
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!!!!!
So glad this randomly popped up! Subscribed fs!
2 minutes in I paused the video to subscribe!😁Best tutorial I've seen! Keep it up!
You can hold CTRL to have the rotation snap to notches, which would get you 90 degrees very easily.
great video ! a good starting point for a beginner trying to learn the essentials
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.
This is really valuable. Good stuff. Thanks!
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.
Fantastic video from which I learn a lot. Thank you. Subscribed.
This was beautiful. Thank you!
Wow! This was fantastic learning! Thank you so much! I feel like I can design anything now lol 🎉
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..👍
Thank you😊. Very helpful and straight forward video. Exactly what I needed as a beginner
Finally a Tutorial I actually can follow. Thank you
Great guide! Really simple and informative, no unnecessary talk and other trash :D
Thank you. Super extreme helpful. You just save my mind from going insane learning basic Blender.
Thank you for your time making this video, you have made my life easier with Blender , brilliant tutorial, and easy to follow, great job 👏👏👍👍
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.
Very good, at last a Blender tutorial I could understand for targetting a 3D printer. 😀
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
thanks for this video its been incredibly helpful!!!!! im new to 3d printing and learning as i go
Thanks for the tutorial! It helped out a lot!!
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.
Thank you! So helpful!
Thanks for getting right into it.
Great video. Thank you so much.
Ty so much. Here to make custom MTG deck boxes. Literally everything I needed.
Thank you…. Exactly the video I’ve been looking for :)
Best tutorial for beginners, amazing! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! 👍
Thank you so much! Awesome video for beginners (me).
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 ?
To apply the scale. Otherwise modification we do the shape will look skewed.
Excellent video bro! Thanks!
Thank you for making this video.
Thanks. After have a 3D printer, I learn how to edit stl file. Pretty great guide.
excellent guide. thank you
🕶
Thank you for an actual beginner tutorial.
Fantastic video, 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, that was extremely helpful
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?
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.
Thank you Steven!
Thanks for your tutorial
so helpful!😃
It helped thank you very much❤
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
Thank you for the Cura Flashbang (and good info)
Thanks for the video - I have a question: how do you set the inset/bevel or any other similar things to an exact number, and how do you change it later? Thanks. I'm thinking about printing and wall thickness as an example.
Hell yeah! im about to make some stencils !😁
Hi Steven, yeah, great video thanks mate 👍
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.
thanks i finally understand blender
You are awesome, thanks! Do you think its one of the best free tools for 3D modelling? I am looking for an alternativ for Shapr3D because it's to expensive for my needs.
well. That was much easier than my "I'll just play with the tools...how hard can it be?" approach. Thank you. :')
Good beginner tutorial. I want to make my first 3d print and I guess some info about measurements and thickness is missing. In the end you mention your nozzle is 0.6mm. Does this mean I should use a multiply of 0.6mm for my model? What are the usual sizes of a nozel? And how thick should one side at minimum be? 3mm "feels" and "looks" right in my mind but are there some rules or best practices?
It doesn't need to be a multiple of the line thickness because slicers are smart enough nowadays. 3mm is a good minimum thickness, even 2mm is fine for some things. I usually check in the slicer to make sure there are at least 3 lines.
To measure you can use the "MeasureIt" add on in Blender Preferences. You access it by pressing "n" and going to "view" and it should be on the bottom. It isn't the most intuitive though...
-Steven
@@3DPrinterAcademy Great! Thanks for the quick answer. Definitly helps me for my project! Maybe Fyi: I don't have a 3d-printer myself and want to print it at a local shop so I want to get it right the first time 😃
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
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.
great vid!
Hi there, great tutorial and I'm a bit late to the party here (so hoping you can answer the question)... I'm following along very well but any time I try to extrude or use the move tool to move the edges (about 6.41 minutes in) I can't seem to do it in a straight line or along any standard axis. If I'm not precise with my movement the shape will become weirdly shaped and I'd like it to be exactly along the grid lines like you have. Any pointers?
Thank you very much.
I ran into a problem with doing Boolean step to merge the objects. It would basically make the box disappear. I believe I solved it by making sure solver was set to exact and the solver options had Self Intersect checked.
Awesome thank you
Thanks for this tut. I'm transition from fusion 360 since my license expired.
thank you!!!
I'm so grateful for this video. The only thing that was missing from this video is how to work with circular objects for 3D printing so that it is not boxy. I think it is called making it high resolution. Do you use Subdivision Modifier? How do you make cylinder objects like circular lids, like food cap shapes, from being smooth and round around the sides? Could you please do a video that extends this video but resolves this issue for 3D printing? When I Add Object>Mesh>Cylinder it's very boxy around the sides and not a good look. Is there anyway to resolve this so it looks completely smooth around the sides? thank you!
You can increase the number of sides of a cylinder to like 1000 or something to make it seem smooth. I think that's the only way.
@@stroomkrooma umm no thats not the only way and is one of the worse options if youve watched the donut series from blenderguru he explains very well that the best way (for your computer) is to add the modifier and yh
@@Brickstic which modifier?
