(Under Construction) Simple Tutorials – create your own designs

When I first started 3D printing, my main goal was to create custom gifts, something personal and unique. I made magnets, bookmarks, named phone stands, Christmas ornaments, keychains, and more. My friends and family loved them, which gave me the perfect excuse to keep practicing and improving my design skills. The best way to learn is through projects. When you have a vision for something, you’ll find a way to make it, no matter how tricky it seems. With each new gift, I discovered ways to improve and expand my skills.

Here are a few project ideas and how to make them yourself using Tinkercad, Bambu Lab tools, or Blender. I highly recommend using Blender! It is the only FREE tool you will ever need, regardless which way your 3D design journey takes you.

This list will be updated periodically, as I come across good ones. For Blender Tutorials I’ll be creating my own under 5 minute videos to demonstrate how simple it can actually be, and all you need is basic Blender navigation skills!
