"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.

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.

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!

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.

[SimonLYW]

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!

[funzees]

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 :)

[alenaxp]

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

[MediaBaronYT]

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.

[urdaibayc]

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

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!!!

[brandon]

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

[BruceJohnsonThor]

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

[jambodjembe]

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

[MuLoO]

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

[lukeedwards]

i can honestly say this is the most helpful tutorial for blender i've come across, with all the keybindings being shown and the pace of the video not too quick. Thanks mate!

[loadinglennard]

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👌🏻

[knaspelut]

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

[danmacmillan]

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