3Dnatives Presents Between Layers, A New Video Series

In the premiere episode of Between Layers, we sit down with Joel Telling, better known as The 3D Printing Nerd, to explore the story behind one of the most recognizable voices in additive manufacturing. Though he inspired millions to buy their first 3D printer, Joel reveals that for years he was afraid of breaking his own. From experimenting with a FlashForge Creator Pro in his spare bedroom to building one of the most influential YouTube channels in 3D printing, he reflects on his path from software engineer to industry figure. Along the way, Joel shares insights into his early experiences, the growth of his print farm, the printers he uses today, and the impact of the 3D printing community. Watch the video below!
