What's up with all this 3d printing?

Watch this on YouTube: What's up with all this 3d printing?

I'm making a 3d printed lamp and dive into the steps that are required to achieve this.

Improvements in this video

I want to improve my film making with every video that I upload. 

For this video, I switched to a lavalier microphone, which improved the voice quality a lot. I also set the camera to a higher shutter speed to get rid of the light flickering that was visible in some earlier videos. 

Finally, I switched to recording everything in 4K and uploading to YouTube in 1440p. The main reason for this is to force YouTube to use a better codec for the videos. Uploading in 1080p resulted in horrible image quality through the YouTube re-encoding. My camera cannot film in 1440p, so I shoot 4K instead. This has the additional advantage, that I can crop/stabilize/... the footage if I need to.
