Teaching Tech | Comparing 3D printing model websites objectively to find a winner @TeachingTech | Uploaded 11 months ago | Updated 2 days ago
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: youtube.com/@ttracingYT

If you want a 3D model to 3D print, there are plenty of options available. In fact, there are almost too many options. In this video, we compare six different sites across ten different areas, with the aim of allowing you to pick the solution that caters to your needs.

I tried to be as meticulous as possible in preparing this video. As far as I am aware, all information is correct at the time of publishing. If mistakes are pointed out, I will note them in a pinned comment.
