 Welcome, everybody, to the Maker Community. My name's Jim and this is The Edge of Tech. It's 2021 and I just wanted to welcome everybody new into the Maker Community. Whether you're on 3D printers or lasers or paint or anything else out there, welcome to the Maker Community. There are so many great resources out there for everybody to join and learn from. There's Facebook groups, Discord and countless videos like mine all over YouTube. The first thing I would do is jump on Facebook if you're on Facebook and find some groups to join. There are so many members of the different communities that are willing to help and they help a ton every day. When you get into one of those groups, don't forget, there's actually a little search in every group and you should be able to search any keywords you're looking for. Also, in a lot of groups, there's a section called files and if you go to files and open that up, you can actually search for anything you're looking for as far as downloading files. And the cool thing is if you click on the file, it'll take you to the original post and you can see what the post was about and see all the comments underneath. So if you're looking for 3D printer profiles, if you're looking for different files to burn on your laser, maybe it's configuration files or firmware or drivers, you can find a ton of that stuff right inside the groups. Also, get on some Discord. There's a ton of different Discord servers out there for pretty much everything you can think of. And then there's YouTube videos like the one you're watching right now. I always suggest checking out my videos if you're into 3D printing or lasers or other cool tech. There are a ton of great creators out there and I'm gonna link a couple in the description below. But I really believe we have such an amazing community of all different makers and it's a great idea to be diverse and check out everybody's videos. That will really give you a wide variety of opinion and instruction on different things you're trying to do. That's the coolest thing about YouTube. You can see how a ton of people do different things. And I love that. Well, I wanted to keep this short. Once again, welcome to the maker community. Feel free to ask questions. You can email me, hit me up on social media or ask in the videos below. Also, if you've never heard of HotMakes, it's our live Monday night show. It's on at 6 p.m. Central US time and we go for an hour. We talk about a ton of different things. If you go on Twitter and tag something you see or your project with hashtag HotMakes, chances are you're gonna see it the following Monday when we feature the HotMakes of the week. And you might even catch a poo-trant at the end of the stream. Once again, welcome to the maker community.
