Hello everyone! Brand new video up now! First collaboration of 2024, too!

My pal Ross from the channel Fauxhammer came down to Colchester to help me finally get my head around 3d printing. My experience in the past has been... ummm.. AWFUL, so it's going to be a challenge for him!

I also go into quite a lot of detail about the safety, practicality, and difficulty of 3d printing as a hobby too, just in case you were thinking about getting into it! Hopefully this will be able to give you a level of realistic expectation that a lot of "influencers" don't show you, because it's quite a boring, and serious topic.

LOVE YOU ALL!

Guy

PS, Fauxhammer's Q&A video that you all submitted questions for a couple of weeks ago is on its way soon :)
