3D PRINTING:
FROM START TO FINISH

3D printing is magical! You take a file, or create your own, send it to your printer and after some time you have an actual solid object. It reminds me of something from the Jetsons. In this course you will learn all stages of 3D printing, from its history, ways to get the best print, using slicers and even finishing your prints. 
 
Yes, 3D printing is magical, but there is also a lot of technical parts to the process, and this course will help you navigate the challenges 3D printer enthusiasts encounter when they start out. This was a fun class to create and I hope you enjoy it and learn how to make great prints!

MAKING MONEY:
3D PRINTING

I currently run a successful YouTube channel with thousands of subscribers and have a successful website and Etsy shop where I sell hundreds of dollars a month in 3D files and physical prints. I love 3D printing and sharing what I know through my YouTube channel and in courses like this. That’s why I created this course to show 3D-printer enthusiasts like you how you can start earning money through your hobby.

grading comic books class

Learn to Grade Comic Books

 When you have completed this course and practiced, you will be able to pick up and grade any comic, whether it’s one in your collection or that grail book you finally found at a con. 

The Learn to Grade Comic Books course is the most comprehensive course of its kind. In it, I walk you step by step through 27 comics at every grade level from 0.1 to 10.0, explaining in detail why they received that grade. For the 25 grade levels from 0.5 to 10.0, I bought and cracked professionally graded books just for these videos so that we would have a solid baseline for understanding the criteria at each grade level. 

In each video, we move up the grading scale, first examining the CGC graded comic, and then we look at two different comics with the same grade to compare and contrast their differences, because even though they are the same grade, they can look quite different.
