With so many new people joining the hobby every single day, I got a bit nostalgic recently thinking back on my own journey from beginner to still learning every single day but definitely very proficient...
In this video, I'm going to share with you the top 9 things I wish I'd known when I started with 3D printing. From the basics, to more advanced things I've only recently learned after years in the hobby.
So whether you're just getting started, or you've been in the hobby for a while now, stay tuned, because I have some valuable tips for everybody.
