InstructorThomas McDonaldThe curriculum utilizes specific objects to teach technical modifiers, such as using the Screw modifier for vases and SVG imports for phone cases.
Instruction extends to essential print-ready steps, including manifold checks via the 3D Print add-on and slicing G-code for various printer types.
Editorial course preview
These 4 complementary views highlight concrete, legible examples from the course presentation.
The Blender workspace shows a technical drawing of a door grip used as a reference while a corresponding profile curve is constructed in the 3D viewport.
The Blender viewport displays a 3D phone stand model featuring extruded text, while the properties panel highlights the active Boolean modifier used to cut shapes.
The slicer interface displays the prepared Piggy Bank model with generated green support structures, showing estimated print times and filament usage before exporting the G-code.
The image shows a completed grey print of a classical font structure sitting on the bed of a physical Prusa 3D printer.
One signal suggests that software updates have caused discrepancies between the tutorial steps and current interface layouts, hindering progress in later sections.
Instructional styles vary from highly detailed explorations of tool options to faster-paced segments that may require frequent rewinding.
The curriculum aligns well with the stated goals of beginner 3D modelers and printer owners.
