Maker's Muse: 12 years of 3D printing advice in 30 minutes.

TL;DR: This whirlwind 30-minute crash course dishes out over a decade’s worth of 3D printing wisdom, from treating your printer as a tool (not a toy) to actually learning 3D modeling instead of just downloading meh files. You’ll get the lowdown on why PLA is still a solid go-to, how to keep microplastics in check, and why breaking complex models into separate parts is a game-changer.

Along the way, you’ll explore the underrated world of TPU, pick up safety hacks (hot air gun and scraper blade tips), and even dodge the cultish corners of the community. Oh, and pro tip: back up your favorite software and files—because hours of tweaking designs deserve a secure home.
