I have watched nearly an hour of Blender tutorials and unfortunately it led me down a path of artistic creation. I was interested in functional. In the first half for your video I learned everything I was looking for. And then after a brief interlude of more artistic Blender, kind of LOL, you added more in depth functionality. You have been bookmarked in my watch again list 😃
Fyi- open blender- at the very first page blender HAS an incredibly useful tutorials option. They will show you how to use it. You need a comprehensive base understanding first- then start watching these videos to fill in specific tasks you want to learn. Fastest way to get blending adequately
You dear Sir are the perfect teacher for everything I was looking for. I have seen A LOT of tutorial videos for blender, but this one explained literally EVERYTHING I had questions about.
Honestly very easy to follow. I like that you didn't skip over anything while keeping the pace of the video high to keep attention. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for this video. I am plugging away and learning it. I did notice that you say press "Shift-R" to bring up the Remesh: Voxelsize grid at 20:05, where I found that just pressing "R" did this. No biggie just wanted to let you know and others who maybe confused when trying to bring the grid up.
Hi, thanks a lot ! I'm back to Blender after a while and notice all those new capacities of the soft. Man ! After a free wheeling alone, my daughter told me about trying on TH-cam. Your tutorial is great and full of those tricks which wouldn't come out my mind. I shall replay it to pick up quick those keyboard keys that change all. Normaly: I could follow what I saw. So, just have to repeat it. Thanks again **) 🤩
Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge, advice and tips for using Blender. Recently purchased a 'starter' 3D filament printer (MINGDA Magician X) and now learning to create with Blender. Thank you for the time and effort you've put into making these videos.
Just starting and this is the best video I have found along with another of yours that I just watched. Time to play with it and feel like I even now have a clue. Thankyou.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial. There is so much in this tutorial I definitely will need to rewatch it a few times while using blender to get used to the interface.
I couldnt find the measure add on? I also dont see the official community, etc tabs. Do you know how i can fix this? Thanks already for the easy to follow tutorial!
Great stuff after watching twice can make brackets of different sizes thanks for easy to follow video. lesson 2 tomorrow with your next video. Getting to know the hobby before I purchase a 3 D printer most likely a Bambu A1 Mini
1: Great video! 2: There is actually an even more convenient way to see edge lengths while modelling. When in edit mode, go to the overlay menu in the top right and under Measurements select edge length. You can also enable edge angle when useful for your model. This is super nice when manually extruding and moving and scaling and much easier than the MeasureIt plugin.
This is a great tutorial!, I have a small issue with adding the 3d measurements in EDIT --> Preferences, and when i type it in the search it not showing that option. anyway to fix that? Thank you
Question: when joining objects should you always use the Boolean or can you use the join (the command you used to join the three hole cutters)? Will it mess up a 3d print if you’ve used the join rather than Boolean?
Almost got setup, but about 2:15 I realized my cube's center origin is 1/2 into the grid. and not resting on top of the plane, where your's appears to be. Is there a way to adjust this setting for my template setup?
I had the same issue. Blender changed a bit so you can now get the add-ons from 'Get Extensions' which is going to be in the Preferences (right above the 'Add-ons' button), then you search for the 'MeasureIt' add-on, install it, then you should be able to search it in the 'Add-on' page. Hope this helped!
Great instructions! I couldn't figure out how you copied the the hole cutter the second time, though. It looks like you just clicked on the original cylinder again.....?
Hello, I'm a model railroader, n I want to design a tender(n scale 1/160). I was told resin was the way to go. Is Blender a good app for designing this? Thanks for responding. 😊
Is there a way to save the initial set up from meters to millimeters as a template or have Blender open with those settings each time instead of doing it manually for every new project?
27:18 When I try to check the normals the option isn’t there. I’m using blender 4.1 if anyone knows how else I can check them! I tried playing around and looking at different settings and searching up on the menu search but it’s not working 😅
After you set all your desired settings (units ect) go to File -> Defaults -> Save Startup File This will save all your settings (including the default starting scene)
Have you ran into the sculpture mode not working? Did some seraches and no results help my issues. The tool seem like they are working but you can't see what they are doing.
Hellow. Thank you for this video. I got a problem with bending my obgect, wich is not just a cube. Some 'faces' I can not 'loop cut' for a reason I dont know and a bending doesnt works like it have to. Could you please make a video to explane how to bend some obgects, and a especially some not filled in objects, with a steps up and down :-). Thanks forward to you and have a good day!!!
I followed along with the video and could not get the sculpting tools to work. They don't do anything. I tried to fix the scale to mm (in your earlier example) without any impact on getting the sculpting tools to work. Any advice? I've been googling and can't quite find the answer.
i cant seem to get blender to keep accurate scale. I set scale like you show to 0.001 and then create a cube i set it 40mm x 40mm x 8mm and then I select top face and do inset face and then tell it to inset 3mm. When I measure it using measuring tool it shows 5.6mm
I forgot to hit apply after I created the modifier! This video series is one of the best, no making random crap I don't care about and hoping to learn what I need along the way.
12 minutes in - when I’m clicking the 2 points it’s selecting the whole one side of the whole highlighting it in orange and then giving me 12000 different measurements for each point? What have I don’t wrong please!!!
For many Years I've tried to learn to use Blender! But they keep on updating the versions changing all the moving and control and using tools and controls and sub menus etc. And they keep changing it so much, like a new version every two weeks or so! Just when your trying to learn the tons of already complex lists and controls. There must up to now from version 2.92.0 I was trying to understand so many changed Blender versions I now lost count? There was at least 11 in the short time I saw of about 1 year after I started to somehow understand how the 2.92.0 version I have was like? So yeah far to complex even before they kept on changing the versions and what is in them and how they do stuff! If you can do it and cope with the version keep on changing then lucky you as your a genius, I are not. I did astronomy, astro-photography, PC building,3D printing. and still not clever enough for this program?
Jesus Christ, i cant find one damn video that has the version they must have JUST changed it to, because not a single damn blender UI in any of the videos i have seen even matches what is on my screen.
For me as an absolute beginner in this program, I applaud you for this easy to understand tutorial!
Thank you!

Great tutorial, your pace is spot on, I pause and rewind when needed, while you video remains packed with information. Thanks.
You dear Sir are the perfect teacher for everything I was looking for. I have seen A LOT of tutorial videos for blender, but this one explained literally EVERYTHING I had questions about.
I know some will probably complain, but I'm veeeerry new to 3D Printing...
And i wanted to say "Thank You"
Your vids are AMAZING
Honestly very easy to follow. I like that you didn't skip over anything while keeping the pace of the video high to keep attention. Thanks for the help!
Your video is well-structured and easy to follow. Your teaching style is great.😊 Thank u.
Yup here to watch for 3d printing. Awesome video, thank you.
I needed this! I had no idea where to begin. Definitely going to be watching the rest of your videos
Thanks for this video. I am plugging away and learning it. I did notice that you say press "Shift-R" to bring up the Remesh: Voxelsize grid at 20:05, where I found that just pressing "R" did this. No biggie just wanted to let you know and others who maybe confused when trying to bring the grid up.
Thank you, its helped me
thank you so much! this is exactly what i was looking for!! “Shift + R” wasn’t working for me 😅
Awesome videos. Love your channel and the pacing of your tutorials. You're super clear about what to do and why. Thanks!
Great job bud, is love to see more! Just starting my journey in blender and this has helped tons
super helpfull, I'll be rewatching this a few times!!!
Awesome dude I have K1c 2 days first time print and model elec parts perfect because of your videos keep going 🎉
Hi, thanks a lot ! I'm back to Blender after a while and notice all those new capacities of the soft. Man !
After a free wheeling alone, my daughter told me about trying on TH-cam. Your tutorial is great and full of those tricks which wouldn't come out my mind.
I shall replay it to pick up quick those keyboard keys that change all.

Im getting a printer and i was scared of 3d modeling cus it sounded impossible but your videos shows that its not,
Thanks Keep it up!
Thanks for the tutorial, just a note that in Blender 4.2, the addons are added from "Get Extensions" now.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show this. Now I don't feel so intimidated. You have given me the means to be dangerous with Blender. 🤘
it's a great tutorial, this is so helpful
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the tutorial.🎉❤
Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge, advice and tips for using Blender. Recently purchased a 'starter' 3D filament printer (MINGDA Magician X) and now learning to create with Blender. Thank you for the time and effort you've put into making these videos.
Excellent tutorial, helped me alot. Thanks!
Very good tutorial for me. The best I've seen so far. Thank you.
Just starting and this is the best video I have found along with another of yours that I just watched. Time to play with it and feel like I even now have a clue. Thankyou.
That was just the exact amount of what I needed to get started, thank you very much gentlemen
Great video 👍👍👍👍Thanks
Thank you so much for making this tutorial. There is so much in this tutorial I definitely will need to rewatch it a few times while using blender to get used to the interface.
I couldnt find the measure add on? I also dont see the official community, etc tabs. Do you know how i can fix this? Thanks already for the easy to follow tutorial!
I couldn't find the addon either but there is a tool on the left of 2 rulers shaped as an L that's the measurement tool I found
Looks like it's under the 'Get Extensions' box, just above Add-Ons.
you DEFINTLY earned a sub
What a Great Help this was for me. Trying to cut a hole with 2 known objects I already had. Thank you!
I do not get the same options on the Transform panel when I press N. No dimensions. I get Median, Vertices Data and Edge Data. Any suggestions?
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
Great stuff after watching twice can make brackets of different sizes thanks for easy to follow video. lesson 2 tomorrow with your next video. Getting to know the hobby before I purchase a 3 D printer most likely a Bambu A1 Mini
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you.
Really nice and easy tutorial for 3d printing, thanks :)
amazing, very clear, thank you so so so so much
1: Great video!
2: There is actually an even more convenient way to see edge lengths while modelling.

This is super nice when manually extruding and moving and scaling and much easier than the MeasureIt plugin.
maybe im doing something wrong but its not showing the right measurement. its showing 2mm even though its a 60mm cube. what am i doing wrong?
Thank you, Steven...very helpful.
This is a great tutorial!, I have a small issue with adding the 3d measurements in EDIT --> Preferences, and when i type it in the search it not showing that option. anyway to fix that? Thank you
This tutorial is amazing! I am documenting my journey on my channel which turns out to be a ton of fun even though my designs are horrible xD
I don't have a 3d printer, but I bet that stuff is awesome
Great video, simply and very well explained!
New Sub!
Nice technique. Some things for the CAD users and the Drawing users.
When you separated the cylinder 45mm, does it mean they are physically 45mm apart from esch other?
Question: when joining objects should you always use the Boolean or can you use the join (the command you used to join the three hole cutters)? Will it mess up a 3d print if you’ve used the join rather than Boolean?
Awesome video, thank you
Simple and straight to the point. I use Shapr3D for modeling and it can be painful to fit myself in blender without proper measurements.
Almost got setup, but about 2:15 I realized my cube's center origin is 1/2 into the grid.
and not resting on top of the plane, where your's appears to be. Is there a way to adjust this
setting for my template setup?
11:31 This Add-On haven't appeared when i tried it.
Can someone please help?
I had the same issue. Blender changed a bit so you can now get the add-ons from 'Get Extensions' which is going to be in the Preferences (right above the 'Add-ons' button), then you search for the 'MeasureIt' add-on, install it, then you should be able to search it in the 'Add-on' page. Hope this helped!
Great instructions! I couldn't figure out how you copied the the hole cutter the second time, though. It looks like you just clicked on the original cylinder again.....?
Got it. I used shortcut shift+D. Turned on duplicate like you did and all is good.
Hello, I'm a model railroader, n I want to design a tender(n scale 1/160). I was told resin was the way to go. Is Blender a good app for designing this? Thanks for responding. 😊
should be renamed buttons this program loves them, thanks for the video
I think you need to change the resolution of the panes so we can see what you are going to with the cursor. Lots of space on the screen for that.
Is there a way to save the initial set up from meters to millimeters as a template or have Blender open with those settings each time instead of doing it manually for every new project?
Really nice video thx 😊
Super helpful
27:18 When I try to check the normals the option isn’t there. I’m using blender 4.1 if anyone knows how else I can check them! I tried playing around and looking at different settings and searching up on the menu search but it’s not working 😅
My Blender App did not have the "measure" addon. Did they remove it from blender?
Very nice!
Will I need to manually set the units to mm every time I start a new project or is there a way to set it as the default units?
After you set all your desired settings (units ect) go to File -> Defaults -> Save Startup File This will save all your settings (including the default starting scene)
Thanks for this! Excellent tutorial!
Have you ran into the sculpture mode not working? Did some seraches and no results help my issues. The tool seem like they are working but you can't see what they are doing.
Thanks real helpful .👍
I tried importing an STL so I could remove a part of it but the boolean tool says its disabled? Is there any way around that?
Hellow. Thank you for this video. I got a problem with bending my obgect, wich is not just a cube. Some 'faces' I can not 'loop cut' for a reason I dont know and a bending doesnt works like it have to.

Thank you very much!
how do you open the transform tab? im lost
my addons menu does not look the same as yours and there is no option for a measureit addon, am I doing something wrong?
If you have'nt sorted it already, click on 'Get extensions' and then click the option to check online. Search measure and it will be there.
'Get Extension' button will be right above the 'Add-ons' button
What do I do if I upload a 3d model and want to fill in Parts of it
just so you know they added a measurement thing to blender without having to get the addon
perfect
Sculpt tools don't seem to work for me like they do in the video. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I forgot to hit apply after I created the modifier! This video series is one of the best, no making random crap I don't care about and hoping to learn what I need along the way.
20:09 for some reason to me it was just “R”
my blender does not have the hole cutter object
How are we suppose to see what you are doing when everything on your screen is so small only a person setting in front of the screen can see it.
Transform isn't showing location, rotation, scale, or dimensions on mine
ty
Just came because of the title.
Blender + easy = good joke 😂😂
It’s like SAP in business… never easy
12 minutes in - when I’m clicking the 2 points it’s selecting the whole one side of the whole highlighting it in orange and then giving me 12000 different measurements for each point? What have I don’t wrong please!!!
@5.45 : the Art of Noise
shift R to change voxel didnt work
11:30 useful adoon
Now I'm hungry for meatballs.
Hey, What happened with "3d printing a 3d printed 3d printer? Please upload a vid!!! Everyone is waiting :(
19:00 :O
Got a sub from me

I did astronomy, astro-photography, PC building,3D printing. and still not clever enough for this program?
someone else has the problem that he can't find the measuring tool?
nvm found it
Jesus Christ, i cant find one damn video that has the version they must have JUST changed it to, because not a single damn blender UI in any of the videos i have seen even matches what is on my screen.
Wow i will not download blender
useless video because your monitor is so big so everything on my laptop is too tiny to see anything.
huh bad
