Kathy Millatt | 3d Printing for Modelling - Filament @KathyMillatt | Uploaded June 2019 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Most people start out 3D printing with a filament printer (although I started with resin just to be opposite!) and in this video I talk about the basics and what you might use your printer for in modelling.
I bought a very cheap Chinese printer – an Anycubic i3 Mega – and have used it loads for a variety of items. It’s a filament or FDM printer. Next week we’ll be looking at resin printers.

The Amazon links are all items I have either bought or bought something similar for myself. Clicking on any links to Amazon will give me a small affiliate income which I use to produce more videos. Every little helps!
