A detailed guide of the basics of bringing a file into and out of blender for 3d printing. We will be doing a minor change and then export it as an .stl and .obj for 3d printing.
This is just the very basics of Blender for 3D printing. If you are unfamiliar with blender take this intro course of mine to master it in no time

As someone who wants to get into designing my own stuff for 3d printing, this is mind blowing. Long way to go! Thank you for putting out great content.

I've spent about a week trying to slice an stl I'd modified in blender. I'd ended up recreating it from scratch, but it was still missing layers and generally not working. 10 minutes watching this video, and all is fixed. Thank you! The 3d print toolbox was brilliant
-
Wow the CAD transform addon looks like what I have been missing from trying to switch from Maya. I am used to snapping my move pivot to verts and was so frustrated it couldn't be done. So glad I saw this!
-
havent used blender in years, its so much more advanced now. thank you for the quick reminder of everything
-
Thank you for including the simplify geometry tut, modifying a car body scan . Smoothing and sculpting it was making the file huge and hard to handle!!
-
I cannot express how helpful this was! Cheers mate!
-
Thanks. Your presentation is clear and concise. Your voice is easy to understand and your delivery just right for tutorials. This was very useful to me.
-
Thank you so much for having the screencast keys on when you made this video. I have been preaching that to the blender tutorial community for 15 years.

Fine enough to import a ready made model and make a working printable stl, but if the desire is to create from scratch in Blender, action NUMBER ONE should be to change scale to 0.001 Then set the length measure to millimeters.
-
One thing I'd add to this is when you import the STL, just select all after you limited dissolve and merge vertices by distance to a reasonable number. I find extra non-manifold geometry all the time in downloaded files, plus STL tris aren't always clean. But great tips! Thank you very much!
-
This is next level stuff. I didn't even know this was possible.

Mind Blown! 🤯
-
super helpful thank you!
-
Thank you very much for making this video and sharing your knowledge! Last time I used Blender to edit an existing STL for 3D printing... It wasn't a very nice experience to me.
-
excellent, thank you!
-
Thank you this is exactly what i needed! I love blender too! I usually use it for low poly models in video games for unreal engine. But now i can export my intentions from blender to my printing thank you. Big likes and sunscribing!
