Blender is an absolutely amazing software application. It's a free and open-source 3D modeling program that's incredibly powerful, though I'll be honest, it can be a little confusing when you're starting out. "With great power comes great responsibility!" But seriously, Blender is great for designing your own creations for 3D printing. It's super customizable and can do some really powerful things, from creating basic shapes all the way up to using geometry nodes for quasi-parametric designs.

I like about the project how clear and simple it is, also the order of the lessons is reasonable for beginners and makes perfect since.

The masterclass is super helpful but it is not sending the bootcamps to my email yet.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 05/31/2025 Chris Schafer (Verified) Stop reading reviews and buy!
If you are frustrated trying to use F360 to design better prints and parts, this course is for you. Instructor provides short clear and concise videos showing a group of functions, then provides a project to follow along that uses what you just learned. This process is repeated until every aspect of F360 is covered. You can repeat as necessary until your no longer using his videos to complete projects, at which time you have mastered the program. I'm 46yo and found this course engaging and easy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 05/31/2025 JOHN MACDONALD (Verified) Good detail at a comfortable pace
Lessons are short, on point, explained well. Only omission has been discussion of navigation on a MAC OS. Not a major problem though.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 05/25/2025 Jeff W Great course and easy to follow. A lot of lessons
Wanted to get better at designing things and needed some extra motivation to stay on track so I bought this course. You can tell Steven has been designing and teaching for a long time now. Would recommend. Especially if you like making useful things.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 05/25/2025 byelen (Verified) great for designing for 3D printing
This course has been exactly what I had been looking for. Most courses and publications about Fusion are directed more towards those doing engineering/machinist projects. I find the fact that it's based towards 3d printing to be very, very helpful.

"My 3D printer arrived yesterday, and I've already watched several videos, but yours was the only one that encouraged me to actually try creating something, since I didn't buy it to print dinosaurs. Thanks for the video. I'll watch it again to familiarize myself with the program, but this was definitely the best video so far."
IMPORTANT:
Launching on Kickstarter on Tuesday August 26th at 7am PST.
