3D Printing 101 - Parts on a 3D Printer

This video is an introductory guide to 3D printing, focusing on FDM technology. It covers the basics of 3D printing, different types of printers like Cartesian, Core XY, and Delta, and their mechanical differences. The video also explains the key components of a 3D printer, such as the hotend, extruder, and build plate, and how they function together. The aim is to help beginners understand the fundamental concepts before diving into more complex tutorials and settings.
