I’m Ditching Blender for Onshape

In this video, I share with you what I think is the best 3D design software for 3D printing. This video is brought to you by Onshape. Check them out at You’ve probably heard 3D printing content creators like myself say it before, and it’s worth saying again: If you’re not designing your own custom parts to solve your unique problems, then you’re only getting a fraction of the benefit out of your 3D printer. But where to begin? In this video I’m going to compare and contrast two of the major free options available to makers, share which one I use for what, and explain why you might want to do the same. Whether you’re just starting out with 3d design and cad modeling, or you already know how to use a parametric design software and design your own STLs for 3d printing, this video will explain which program I use for what, and why you, too, might want to consider checking those apps out. 💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: 🎁 EXCLUSIVE CONTENT ON PATREON: 🎥 IN THIS VIDEO: 🎥 00:00 Introduction to 3D design software 01:35 Mesh Modeling: Blender 03:45 Parametric CAD software: Onshape 08:29 Which One Should You Use for 3D Printing? 11:07 Conclusion 🛒 RECOMMENDED GEAR: 🛒 📍 Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: 📍 Complete list of my videography gear: 📍 My favorite 3d printing filament: and 📍 My favorite 3d printers right now: | 📍 My favorite BUDGET 3d printer right now: 📍 CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING AT: | | | | | | | | | 🔗 OTHER LINKS 🔗 👉 Blender: 👉 Check out the Onshape tutorials by Michael Laws of Teaching Tech: ❤️ LOVED THIS VIDEO? ❤️ ▶️ Subscribe to the channel ▶️ Watch my other videos: @thenextlayer 🔔 Turn on Notifications 🎁 Support me on Patreon: 🎁 Send a “Super Thanks” (Tip) 🛒 Use my affiliate links for your 3D printing or videography needs: 💬 Join My Discord: ✍️ Write a comment below! 👍🏿 Like this video #3dprinting #3dprinted #3dprinter
