What questions do YOU have about 3D printing?

[mythfpv]

Why does this video have only have 7k views?
It’s by far the best introduction to 3D printing I have watched!!!
Thanks Adam

[marisacope]

I don't typically leave YT comments, but I just wanted to say that this video was perfect. It broke down every question I had about getting started with 3D prints and gave direct and useful info. Thank you!

[sneakymut]

The beginning of the video is exactly how I reacted on how do I start lmaoo

[Dickard]

I have spent hours trying to gather this information: Your video explains it all, quickly and concisely, Thank you. x

[craig-creates]

Tip number 1 don’t quit when you get a few fails

[razbuznik]

I just found this video and learned more watching it than I have in a year trying to figure 3D printing out on my own. Thank you!

[davidsneddon]

Adam thank you so much for this, I am nearly 70 and have been looking for an intro video for a while and now I have found yours and it is so very helpful. Cheers mate.

[mkmotivate]

Bro, Thank you so much for this video. You literally have made me so excited and happy about my future in life because I know for a fact I'm sitting on a gold mine of prints with an idea I have had for awhile. I've been secretly keeping it close to the vest and tracking google to see if anyone has jumped on it but here we are 1 year later and still nobody has figured it out. I finally got my printer, my filament, and I'm ready to start up but I have no idea how to print it. Now because of you I have the knowledge and power to do so. And because you are my Jedi master, I am going to make you this promise. That when I get to boss level status and Im laying out at Kua Bay in Hawaii while my printing business is a major success, I'm going to hit you back up somehow in hopes you respond and in that moment I'm going to ask you whatever you want in life that I can afford to get you, that I am going to get it for you no questions asked. And Marines are always faithful so I will never go back on my word. SEMPER FI brother and Thank you again.

I’m new to 3D printing and this video seems to address a lot of questions that other ‘beginner’ videos don’t address. Great content.

[gwseymour]

Nice to hear from someone who isn't trying to be a "guru", and still remembers all the questions a beginner has. I've also waited...can't count the number of brackets and stuff I've made over the years using other methods. Gonna make the leap. Blender is also a great program.

[bootliz]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm BRAND new to 3D printing (got one as an unexpected present) and I didn't know what I didn't know. I watched several other "for beginners" videos but they generally left me with more questions than answers. Thank you for meeting me at ground level and assuming I had no basic knowledge to start with (I especially appreciated you explaining what a slicer is for example).

[michaela]

The absolute best introductory video to 3D printing I have found. Thanks for being nice to beginners

[miaokeefe]

I am a teenager who has just started 3d designing and this video was extremely helpful and simple. I am thinking of buying the ender 3 because it is surprisingly cheap and i have been using tinkercad for forever and want to print. Thanks!

[elijaharellano]

Bro this video literally answer all of my questions. Everyone else in their videos would like dance around these topics you just hit them all on target. Amazing video.

[blascantu]

I'm really interested in 3d printing and getting started with it. I'm going to come back to this video many times so thanks a lot!

[jakubmacuha]

Thank you for this wonderful introduction to 3D printing. I started searching for something like this maybe 2 hours ago and FINALLY enjoyed someone's content.

[PRhastaelhueso]

Thank you Adam, for such a detailed and thorough information. God bless you and keep on sharing your thoughts. It helps us in a great, educational way!! 👏

[MichaelEchoMichael]

"I didn't notice anything and I'm not dead" is probably not a reliable indicator of the health risks of 3D printing (or any other toxic exposure for that matter). It's akin to "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger..." except in reality "what doesn't kill you might just give you cancer and kill you painfully and miserably in the future." This is a worthwhile research topic (and another good argument for camera monitoring of printing!)

[mitchking]

Great video man. Thank you for getting right into it and not spending half of the video talking about your channel and following you. The video is about what want to know. Great job bro!
