    Posting anything by James Bruton here is just cheating. :)

    Seriously though, his channel is really interesting, he doesn’t go into much about the actual 3d printing aspect of it, in terms of design or printing, but he does a lot of in general discussions about using 3d printing in the wider context of design and engineering.

    I think his two biggest takeaways are:

    1. printing the big bulky parts separately from the smaller, tolerance critical parts, so you can adjust fitment without having to print the big thing again.
    2. where you can use 3d prints, and where you need to use other material. Like combining extruded aluminum, or wood/plywood to make parts strong, and specific.
