"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.

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.

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!

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.

Awesome job! I've been scared of even trying Blender, but you made it extremely approachable. Thank you!

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 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!!!

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.

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.💯

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 :)

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

This is perfect timing for me, just what I was trying to teach myself!

Just starting out with Blender and 3D printing and this is exactly what I needed. Really easy to follow instructions. Many Thanks - New Sub

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.

Amazing! First time making a 3D container thanks to you! Thank you so much! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

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

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👌🏻

great easy guide, this gives me the confidence I can fiddle on own models now. Time for the next lesson THANKS !

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.

Great video, thank you! that is just what I needed to get acclimated to the platform and start working

Great video. I’ve watched a lot of videos that have just overwhelmed me but this is perfect. Thankyou.

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

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!

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

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.

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!

Excellent tutorial thanks, no B.S. intros or other timewasters, just straight to the point

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!!!!!

Thank you! You have taken something complex and made it simple.

Some very clear instructions and easy to follow.

Well done, awesome pace in teaching - thank you.

One of the best tutorials I have watched

I just bought a 3D printer and this tutorial is going to be so useful. Thanks!

great video ! a good starting point for a beginner trying to learn the essentials

This is really valuable. Good stuff. Thanks!

Thank you😊. Very helpful and straight forward video. Exactly what I needed as a beginner

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 for your time making this video, you have made my life easier with Blender , brilliant tutorial, and easy to follow, great job 👏👏👍👍

Fantastic video from which I learn a lot. Thank you. Subscribed.

thanks for this video its been incredibly helpful!!!!! im new to 3d printing and learning as i go

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

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

This was beautiful. Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial! It helped out a lot!!

2 minutes in I paused the video to subscribe!😁Best tutorial I've seen! Keep it up!

Thanks for getting right into it.

So glad this randomly popped up! Subscribed fs!

Ty so much. Here to make custom MTG deck boxes. Literally everything I needed.

Thank you so much! Awesome video for beginners (me).

Thank you…. Exactly the video I’ve been looking for :)

Great guide! Really simple and informative, no unnecessary talk and other trash :D

Great video. Thank you so much.

Finally a Tutorial I actually can follow. Thank you

Thank you! So helpful!

Thank you. Super extreme helpful. You just save my mind from going insane learning basic Blender.

Wow! This was fantastic learning! Thank you so much! I feel like I can design anything now lol 🎉

Excellent video bro! Thanks!

Thanks. After have a 3D printer, I learn how to edit stl file. Pretty great guide.

Very good, at last a Blender tutorial I could understand for targetting a 3D printer. 😀

Fantastic video, thank you.

thank you, that was extremely helpful

Thank you for making this video.

excellent guide. thank you 🕶

It helped thank you very much❤

Great video! 👍

Thank you for an actual beginner tutorial.

Thank you Steven!

Best tutorial for beginners, amazing! Thanks!

so helpful!😃

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.

Thanks for your tutorial

You can hold CTRL to have the rotation snap to notches, which would get you 90 degrees very easily.

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.

Thank you for the Cura Flashbang (and good info)

Hi Steven, yeah, great video thanks mate 👍

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.

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

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?

Hell yeah! im about to make some stencils !😁

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

thanks i finally understand blender

Awesome thank you

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.

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!

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.

thank you!!!

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.

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.

well. That was much easier than my "I'll just play with the tools...how hard can it be?" approach. Thank you. :')

Great video I will save it on my list, but can't you just right click on multiple objects and select "join" to get them merged or is it only to be done through the boolen tool for 3d printing? I'm new to blender and when I tried slicing a model I made the chest part was invisible from the others any idea why that is? I would really appreciate the help thank you!

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 ?

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.

15:40 - Bevel Tool Tip + Scaling Issue protip. Use Apply menu to scale object to 1 x 1 x 1 and normalize it.

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.

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?

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

I just made a box thanks for the help
