Welcome to FatOld3DPrintGuy – a beginner’s journey into 3D printing.

This channel documents me learning 3D printing from scratch, starting later in life, with no prior experience. From unboxing and setting up my first 3D printer, to learning slicing software, filament types, multi-colour printing, upgrades, mistakes, and real-world prints, everything here is shown honestly and step by step.

If you’re new to 3D printing, thinking about buying your first 3D printer, or just want to see what it’s really like to learn 3D printing as a beginner, you’re in the right place.

I focus mainly on beginner-friendly 3D printing content including:
• First 3D printer setup and reviews  
• Bambu Lab printers and AMS multi-colour printing  
• Common beginner mistakes (and how to fix them)  
• Practical prints you can actually use at home  
• Learing to model my own objects to print  

No hype, no shortcuts — just learning 3D printing the hard way so you don’t have to.
