Answering the internet’s most pressing 3D printing questions on Quora Part 2

Watch the Video

Did my voice sound particularly resonate in this video? I recorded this in the middle of a nasty cold. But, I figured, I made you all wait while I put together the Filament of the Month Club bumper, so I couldn’t make you wait any longer. I didn’t quite have it in me for a more intensive video experience, though. Scrounging up questions and chatting on camera was about all I had bandwidth for, mentally.  I had to edit out a ton of coughs and clearing my throats between questions, but I did this for you.

Of course if you all like my voice like this, maybe I should start my recording sessions with a pb&j and a glass of milk to really gum up my vocal cords in the future.

Last time I answered 18 questions. This time, only 16. But I did stop by the 3DP Professor discord channel to show off what people there are making. Want to have your project featured in a future video? I’ll see you on Discord.
