1. Inside the Mind of Matt
Maker and 3D printing buff Matt built his first 3D printer which kicked off hit 3D printing journey. Since then, he's built a handful of 3D printers, and expanded his do-it-yourself (DIY) journey into metal casting as well. As Matt explains, he's been bitten by the 3D printing bug. His channel features tutorials, reviews, and even event coverage. Many of Matt's videos highlight the ideation process completely, from an idea to a prototype. Not only are his videos informative, but they're also entertaining as well. I highly enjoyed Matt's collaboration with A Skewed View 3D with a PLA aluminum casing of Raphael's sai.
