I'm TIRED of making 3d prints that are throw-away junk.

3D Prints look cheap, and feel cheap. In this video, we'll address this by throwing a few solid techniques at the prints while also using 3D printing for what it excels at, and using traditional hand-crafting methods and bringing the two together to see if we can make something that looks and feels like a quality product.
A shout out to @Willofthemaker for sharing his techniques for making prints that look like the ones shown in the video.
It isn't enough to just 3D print a part solid. First we need to pick the right material. If we try to use a low-quality filament, we're going to see a lot of variation in the diameter, and that will translate into more visible layer lines. Picking a quality filament is the first and one of the most important factors.
We also want to print HEAVY, when you tap on a print, it should feel solid, not hollow, it's a small thing, but it helps quite a bit.
The color of the print does make a difference. It's a matter of preference in a way, but there are some colors that look more pro, and those are darker colors. Light and bright colors look cheap, like kids toys.
For the rest of the tips, check out the video.
