Most of my videos focus on the gritty, hands-on world of terrain painting and scenery building — but here’s a little secret: I actually spend far more of my time in Blender, designing 3D prints.

It’s one of those behind-the-scenes parts of the hobby that doesn’t always get the spotlight, but today, I want to pull back the curtain and share a few tips that’ll make designing your own printable models a whole lot easier.
