You have a great future as a trainer... Absolutely BRILLIANTLY done. I have waded through countless videos trying to get some guidance on how to do this and within two minutes, I knew you got the question and had a solution. Congratulations on a fantastic post.

[@mrthunderbird_]

I've used this method so many times. Other RUclipsrs might have fancier equipment and editing, but yours explains it the best

[@TobiasHoffmannWup]

Thank you for the info filled video! My mum got into pottery and needed me to make some mandala stamps. With this tutorial, she was able to do most of the work by herself. Cheers

[@youkokaku]

Your video is super clear, not only did you show the steps but you also explained it very clearly from top to bottom. You would be an excellent instructor for 3d printing courses. Thank you!

[@dillonbabb7156]

This was exactly what I was looking for! I designed a 2d imaged for a pin and was hoping that I could use it as a sketch somehow. Thank you so much for posting this! this will save me so much time!

[@vaethe]

Absolutely perfect, thank you. My gf lost a one of a kind pin and we couldn’t find it so I’m recreating it for her for Christmas, just needed a good blank to file down. Thank you!

[@Grimm-zh3dg]

OMG IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AGES FOR A GOOD TUTORIAL
thank you very much made my life so much easier

[@TonyNewmanStudio]

Thanks, I used most of what you said on creating a 3D piece from an image. Your video helped me create a sharp 3D PETG part from my Prusa printer. Finally, I can hold my logo in 3D instead of only on paper!

[@CDE.Hacker]

I'm glad I found this video. I've been a subscriber for a few months maybe, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

Thanks! This really helps speed up making simple-ish shapes like tool-holders and keychains.

[@MatthewJamesWriter]

As a beginner, I had no idea where to start with 2d images for 3d printing. You explained it clearly, provided enough detail and really helped. Thank you! (i never comment on RUclips usually so thought I better say my thanks)

[@pamelareid8033]

Thanks for sharing! You are very concise in your explanation! I am new to 3D printing and this helped me to remember the trace bitmap step!

[@Robin50572]

Thanks a lot. This is the best tutorial i have seen online! Very well spoken. Excellent insight. Exactly what i needed to learn!

[@kswizzles2102]

You made it so simple thank you! I'm so excited at 3 am to be converting my logo so I can make a stamp :D

[@amokriinprolgiid3409]

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! I'd been trying to print off a button I designed in illustrator and couldn't figure out how to make it happen.

[@morgangmilligan]

[@PorchGarage]

Hello from Joel’s 3D Printing Nerd channel :) FYI you can scale proportionately in Inkscape by holding down the Shift (or Ctrl) key while scaling. Can’t remember exactly which key...

[@zilchfox]

This is a wonderful video. I am an artist and I wanted to print convention badges like this on my printer!

You are awesome. I have been trying for two years to take a drawing I made, manipulate it by tracing it with vertices with parts in different heights, and then joining the parts to a single mesh to print but always fail . I think I can figure it out now.

[@KnotHead1008]

Great video. I think I like you. In your videos you seem to be down to earth. You don’t waste time with a bunch of frivolous junk audios and sponsee garbage. Your kind of videos are a rare find here on YT and on FB as well. Keep shooting videos like this. Popularity shouldn’t even be a thing with your style.
