Total surprise, I'm honored! But how crazy would it be for me to make a video about myself from my other channel, claiming to not be myself. 🤔

[gaveintothedarkness]

"Im not Travis"

That sounds exactly like something Travis would say.

[tomsko]

One of your better videos. Good job Travis.

[NWGR]

Travis' channels are both very inspiring. His 3d printing especially.

[UncleJessy]

Bwahahahaha omg this video is amazing. I will admit, I've mixed y'all up a few times before when coming across videos on my feed. Two awesome channels / makers!

[coryjorgensen]

I have a question. When you are designing prints, do you mainly design in metric or standard?

[gloriousapplebees]

I love that shop nation provides print your own files as well, super helpful!

[RBallarddesigns]

It has been fun to see Shop Nation grow over the past few years.

[BradKwfc]

I like Travis's content but Print Farm Academy just feels like a "Buy my course" channel.

[Karaon]

Nice one Travis, I've followed you before you moved to a new house, can't run away in disguise forever

[JakeWeihe]

Great video Gabe 👍 nice follow up from the podcast a couple months ago with Travis

[AerialWaviator]

A very inspiring story, with captivating story telling. ♥👍👍

[joerogers]

Wait, Whut? Slant 3D and Shop Nation aren’t the same YouTubers. Now you’re going to tell me Eminem and Slim Shady aren’t the same rappers.

[tastyticklingtatertricksho]

Love shop nation your content not to shabby too

[dwintster]

Another great example I'll check out the podcast and his channel. Thanks.

[TS_Mind_Swept]

I've watched his video about finding costs for 3D printed parts, and while I generally agree with his assembly of numbers for the "landing cost", I still tend to be baffled by the final figures I see (not just from him, but from everyone).. I know I tend to undervalue the things that I do, but it just seems a bit much..

[drmvh]

Great vid Travis, always dig your content here on Slant 3D

[ausgeknipst]

Great Video :) we started doing the same thing with camera accessories in Germany and we're constantly growing. It almost feels like the evolution of the internet + 3d-printing techniques allowed us (two dudes with a degree in engineering and 0 money) to become small scale manufacturers.

[controlfreak]

This is hysterical because I subscribed to both channels and did confuse you two on more than one occasion.

[MaleiCKSalah]

So my confusion was totally understandable
