Welcome to Chuck Hellebuyck's Electronic Products (CHEP) and 3D printing. My channel presents a new video EVERY FRIDAY called FILAMENT FRIDAY!
In each Filament Friday I show how to use 3D printing to produce fun and useful 3D prints. Sometimes I design from scratch using the free and easy to use Tinkercad software. Sometimes I print or modify designs from Thingiverse.com. Sometimes I incorporate electronics that I designed or modified. I also show tips and tricks to help anyone getting started with 3D printing including reviews of new printers and filaments and various slicing software including Simplify3D to get your designs ready for 3D printing.
I occasionally post bonus videos on days other than Friday such as Tech Tuesday or CNC Sunday. Bu I guarantee a video Every Friday for Filament Friday so subscribe and join the fun.
