To get the most out of your 3d Printer learn how to design and 3d print custom objects. In this video, I walk the viewer through customizing Thingiverse models and then custom designing a cable wrap, closet hook, and remote caddy. While this video demonstrates TinkerCAD as the modeling tool the concepts apply to other computer aid design tools (CAD) such as FreeCAD or Fusion 360.
