I found this video as a total 3D printing novice merely looking to see if editing STLs in Blender works at all, and I'm greeted with solutions to a whole host of problems. Absolutely bookmarking this one for later, cheers man.

Good guy Artisan, teaching file ethics before sharing knowledge👏👏

Thank you for posting these tutorials. I’m just starting to learn Blender to modify STLs for custom prints and your videos are very helpful and informative.

Even when the video isn't something I felt like I needed I discover that I was wrong and learn something.

Honestly Artisan, your tutorials have been incredibly informative and helpful. I've only recently gotten into 3d modelling and would have been completely lost if not for your videos. Even the videos about simple things such as how you organise your settings and useful tools have been invaluable to me on. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together and help out new creators!
