New video! If you’ve picked yourself up a 3D printer, you’ve no doubt printed yourself a heap of models from Thingiverse by now. It’s great fun and the best way to learn how to control the options you have available through Cura; scaling, rotating and tweaking layer heights for optimal prints. Eventually, though, you’re going to want to step into the world of 3D design to build upon your 3D printing skills and make some unique models to print. To do so, you’ll need to get your hands onto some decent CAD software and learn the ropes when it comes to operating the software.
