Today I speak to Sean Aranda from 3D Print General. He began his 3D printing explorations by becoming the Operations Manager for SD3D in early 2015. With over a dozen FDM machines and a few hundred clients, he amassed thousands of hours of successful print time while with the company. He now runs a growing YouTube channel and promotes his new 2022 edition of 3D Printing Failures book.
