    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.

  • @catopower
    @catopower 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    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!

  • @SimonLYW

    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.

    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.

  • @FlyBy2507
    @FlyBy2507 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

    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?

    • @3DPrinterAcademy
      @3DPrinterAcademy ปีที่แล้ว

      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...
