Should I create a new channel for 3D printing videos or should I post 3D printing videos on the SourceCAD channel?

I began building my 3D printing course almost two years ago.

It should have been done long back, but something felt off.

I didn’t want to teach a skill without actually putting in thousands of hours doing the real work.

My journey started with a CR-10. Later I added an Adventurer 4.

Now I have Bamboo lab X1 Carbon and an Elgoo Saturn 4 Ultra too.

Most prints were for home fixes and small decorative parts, and honestly, I wasn’t making enough mistakes to teach confidently.

So, I did something unexpected. I started a small 3D printing service with a simple paid listing.

Suddenly I was flooded with 15–20 leads daily and a couple of conversions every day. My printers never stopped.

And neither did the mistakes.

Printers ran all day.

Problems showed up constantly.

Filament issues. Misalignments. Clogged nozzles. Failed orders.

That changed everything.

I faced issues I didn’t even know existed.

I ruined prints, wasted materials, and spent money fixing mistakes.

But each one taught me exactly what I needed to teach others.

Three thousand print hours later, the course finally feels real.

Focused on FDM for now, with SLA coming next.

I even put together a detailed material guide with recommended parameters for the most common filaments.

If you want the guide or want to be first to know when the course drops, grab the eBook (linked in first pinned comment).

And if you’ve got ideas for what the course should include, tell me.

It might just make it in.
