3D Printed items

Does anyone have any suggested "you tube training" for the basics if being able to create my own prints? Havent an issue with the printing, however would like to be able to create my own things :)
 
Probably depends on what sort of prints you want to make.
There's loads of choobs on fusion 360 for functional stuff.
Making a print from an image is done via a website. Can create models from an image too - results for this are mixed ime
 
For 3D design I messed with Blender for ages & hated it. Was introduced to Fusion & it was soooo easy in comparison, and the tutorials are great too.
 
I think blender is more orientated towards arty tomfoolery. (That said I've tried dabbling with it a few times and wasn't keen either)
Done stuff with tinkercad and 3d builder. Sorta tried fusion and keep promising my self to git gud with it.. one day..😁

Like HomerRamone wrote, it much depends what you're most likely to want to design. Simply put, do you tend to artwork or engineering? Mine in the latter so Onshape in my choice and has plenty of tutorials. Also now getting into 3d scanning to replicate complex shapes.
 
Pick a colour, any colour :D

That's just the PLA.

Have got another 20 or so in ABS, PETG, Silk and Matte as well as tricolour & fluorescent!

Yes, I'm addicted.
 
I have toyed with getting a Revopoint Mini 2, which I think @mission65 has. I hear their software is good for post processing and getting you back to a model to print. But I haven't tried one.

This weekend, is Makers Central, https://www.makerscentral.co.uk/
I am hoping to see some scanners there and maybe take the plunge if the prices are good.


I may end up scanning a metal part as I can't find it anywhere.

Didn't really want to get a scanner but if needs must!

I'd forgotten all about that, thanks for the reminder.

What day are you going? It's Midlands league meet on Sunday, so will have to be Saturday for me.
