YouTube Shorts (Patreon)

I have so many little projects I do with my 3D Printers (and electronics) that never make it to the channel. Sometimes it's something I try out such as a quick test of a Cura feature or Firmware upgrade. A lot of times it's these short experiments that teach me how to improve my profiles, my print quality and what upgrades and filaments work best. But many of these small projects and tricks end up on the edit room floor as out of context.

That's where YouTube shorts come in. This is a new feature in YouTube that is designed to grab attention like TikTok or Instagram Reels by showing portrait-style videos that are less than 60 seconds. 

I like shorts for a different reason. I like the fact that I can produce a short-form video that can hopefully help people either print better or maybe get more people interested in 3D Printing and Electronics in a short attention span way.

And YouTube will actually promote them, not cast them off as "not like your typical content" or "too short for ads to appear". 

And fortunately, they don't take a lot of time to produce so they won't interfere with the normal Filament Friday videos. I'm sure some people will not like them at first but give it a chance. Right now I'm just experimenting so time will tell if this sticks around or not. Ultimately the viewers will have the final say. I'm not going to continue something everybody hates.

Just look for the #shorts in the title if you want to bypass these. But if you watch, give me your feedback. My Patreon supporters have earned the right to cheer or boo the loudest.
