Who are your favourite 3d printing YouTubers?

Here’s a list of some of the 3d printing youtube channels I’m subscribed to:Joel the 3d Printing Nerd – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_7aK9PpYTqt08ERh1MewlQGreat channel for 3d printing beginners. Joel has a tendency to print things BIG which is awesome to watch (eg hairy lion) and he is brutally honest in his reviews of printers.Thomas Sanladerer – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb8Rde3uRL1ohROUVg46h1ATom has some somewhat subjective videos but his content is very high quality. A lot of his earlier videos cover some great 3d printing fundamentals and they all have a slant towards being free(as in speech) and open source. These days he mostly does live streams.Joe aka 3d Maker Noob – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Tc0TsvFxC83zF1w5x1PWQ3d maker noob hasn’t been around long, but his content is high quality and has a lot of info for those owning less expensive brands for example the Anet A8.CNC Kitchen – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiczXOhGpvoQGhOL16EZiTgAlso relatively new, but again excellent high quality videos, mostly covering modelling techniques and how to achieve great prints. Some technical stuff presented in an easy to understand manner.Dr D-Flo – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ10renzLSd4cJEn-C2e_TwI’ve seen Dr D-Flo on this subreddit a few times too, so far he’s printed the Snappy Reprap, the 6 axis Robot arm and the Dyson style fan, it’s all relatively well documented. He’s a little bit weird, a self proclaimed doctor I suppose, but worth a watch.I Like to Make Stuff – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6x7GwJxuoABSosgVXDYtTwReally good videos covering a wide range of household projects from woodwork to 3d printing.James Bruton – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUbDcUPed50Y_7KmfCXKohAJames is sponsored by Lulzbot, so all his videos feature the Taz and mini etc, but don’t let that stop you from seeing his magnificent creations, mostly based off Marvel or Star Wars and feature mechatronics and robotics. His BB8 series is my favourite. He also dabbles in VR and Augmented Reality.Makers Muse – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxQbYGpbdrh-b2ND-AfIybgA fellow Aussie like me, Angus is sponsored by Simplify3d I believe so a lot of his videos focus on that. They are pretty good videos and he appears to know quite a bit about 3d printing. Worth subscribing to.Richard Horne – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvGQ-pMFD1C5HShRin8RVDARichard I believe was a fairly big player on the RepRap scene, but doesn’t appear to be as prolific as he once was. A lot of his videos are hit and miss, but he definitely knows his stuff and his knowledge on 3d printing is invaluable.RCLifeOn – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC873OURVczg_utAk8dXx_UwRCLifeOn appears to have originally been based on Remote Controlled stuff like drones etc but lately a lot of his content includes 3d printing combined with electronics projects. It’s all pretty decent and entertaining to watch.Tech2C – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_scf0U4iSELX22nC60WDSgAnother Aussie and the inventor of the HyperCube corexy printer, the series on building that is a great watch, as well as other 3d printer design insights.The Ben Heck Show – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChturLXwYxwTOf_5krs0qvAA lot of Ben’s older stuff featured 3d printing and he’s done some amazing retro game builds mixing different technologies. These days his videos are pretty ordinary but everything pre-2016 is excellent.What Channels are you subscribed to? Give us your review of your favourite channels! http://ift.tt/2qCMuEk
