3D printing on Youtube: trends and takeaways

There are MANY YouTube channels about 3D printing.

Since our last update, the number of 3D printing-related YT channels has grown sharply, showing how active the 3D printing community is. We now have 79 channels on this list, and many of them are growing really fast!

Live streaming is on the rise.

In 2016, YouTube added a live stream option and many 3D printing creators are making the most of it. Often longer than regular videos, YouTube live streams are used for live unboxing videos but also to make innovative formats such as the 3D Printing Tonight show by JAT.MN.

The vast majority of 3D printing Youtubers are – surprise – white men. That’s a fact, and it’s becoming somewhat preoccupying, as diversity in media is always important (yes, YouTube is a media!). In terms of gender balance, we only list a handful of women with a 3D printing Youtube channel, and that’s not enough. Let’s not even get started on the overwhelming caucasian domination…

This hot topic is of course not limited to 3D printing and not easy to tackle but some voices are trying to make themselves heard, from Naomi Wu to the more controversial 3DPConfidential on Twitter. The diversity issue and lack of visibility for minorities in the makers’ community is definitely a hot topic that we hope will be addressed collectively in the future.

YouTube is a great (and free!) promotion channel for 3D printer brands.

3D printing companies are now using YouTubers to launch and promote their new products, by sending test units to prominent community members, sometimes flying them to events. Among the most successful 3D printer launches relying on heavy YouTube promotion were the Prusa i3 MK2, the Ultimaker 3, and the BCN3D Sigma R17.

Sending test units to 3D printing Youtubers can be a very efficient strategy when your machine is on point but can also backfire (ask the guys at Tiko or Tevo…). Best practices include building a friendly relationship with these Youtubers and the 3D printing community, ensure they have all they need to carry out the tests in optimal conditions, and address any issue or negative feedback which may arise. Also, make sure your 3D printer is a great product!

Looks like the @bcn3dtech Sigma R17 season has officially started!

How to make money with a Youtube channel?

Advertising

The easiest way to monetize a YouTube channel is advertising: YouTube being a part of Google, it is very easy to start showing ads on your videos through the AdSense program. To earn money from views on your videos, you can show banners or video ads in your videos and generate revenue every time a viewer will click on an ad.

Affiliate programs

Many YouTubers participate in affiliate programs, the most popular one being Amazon Associates. Thanks to these 3D printing affiliate marketing programs, creators can earn a commission via special links. If you make a purchase on the website (Amazon or others) using their custom link, the creator will receive a commission. If you want to support some of your favorites 3D printing creators while online shopping, just use their affiliate links usually found in the description fields below a video.

Another way to earn $$$ revenue or get free products through YouTube is to get sponsored by a brand or establish a partnership with them. In the case of 3D printing, 3D printers and 3D scanners brands can send you 3D printers or 3D scanners for reviews.

Starting a Patreon

Patreon is a global crowdfunding platform where content creators of all kinds can get sustainable income from recurring donations from fans. Many 3D printing YouTube channels have a Patreon where you can contribute with a monthly donation, starting as low as a few dollars. Some of the most established YouTubers on our list can earn thousands of dollars each month thanks to their Patreon. Thomas Sanladerer, for instance, makes around $2k per month thanks to donations from his fans, thus providing more financial freedom to run his channel.

Joining a multi-channel network (MCN)

According to Wikipedia, “a multi-channel network (MCN) is an organization that works with video platforms such as YouTube, to offer assistance to a channel owner in areas such as “product, programming, funding, cross-promotion, partner management, digital rights management, monetization/sales, and/or audience development” in exchange for a percentage of the ad revenue from the channel”. MCN is now common in the world of YouTubers looking to monetize their channel, and several makers from our list have already joined an MCN.

If you’re looking to take your 3D printing YouTube channel to the next step, this could be the way to go. No need to have tens of thousands of subscribers either, as MCN is not only focusing on reach but also on the engagement of the audience on high potential niches such as additive manufacturing.

Soooooo…. 5/10 of our top channels are #3Dprinting– Kill me? <3 U @joeltelling @THEJATMN @apyrodesign @pressreset @3DPProfessor @BINMedia

How to use our list of the 3D printing channels on YouTube

Subs count

Here is the number of subscribers as of September 13, 2018, 18 months after the last subs count we did in March 2017. This allowed us to calculate an 18-month growth rate for channels featured in this list.

Growth

This is the growth percentage of the channel, based on the evolution of the total number of subscribers over the past 18 months (from March 2017 to September 2018). This growth rate gives an indication of which channels are growing fast. We highlighted the super fast-growing channels with a little fire emoji (growth rate above 500%).

Category

This time, we’ve decided to categorize 3D printing YouTubers to make the list easier to use:

• 3D printing: this is the main category, covering YouTube channels focusing solely on 3D printing and producing videos such as 3D printers unboxings, tests, tips, and general information about additive manufacturing.
• Maker: we regrouped here the channels of maker creators who regularly offer 3D printing-related content but whose channel is not fully dedicated to 3D printing. We thought it was interesting to expand a bit the scope of the list to see how established makers make the most of 3D printing for their projects.
• Tech reviewer: there are many tech reviewers with highly successful YouTube channels, and some of them have a knack for 3D printers! Why not include them here?
• Cosplay/props: this category covers creators and makers who use 3D printing to make cosplay, movie accessories, and props. A very popular and active YouTube group with a nice overlap with the 3D printing community.

Country of origin

Pretty straightforward, because it’s cool to see how global the 3D printing movement has become (although most channels are still from the US).

Note:
For this list, we selected only 3D printing YouTube channels managed by independent creators. However, some 3D printing companies run great YouTube channels with instructive videos. For example, MatterHackers, a leading US reseller of 3D printers, produces lots of great content, from reviews to tutorials.

The different types of 3D printing YouTube videos

Tutorials

In tutorials, 3D printing Youtubers give step-by-step instructions on topics such as how to build a 3D printer in kit, how to improve your 3D printing techniques, and many more. You can also find 3D printing video tutorials on how to solve general 3D printer problems such as nozzle clogging.

Unboxings

Unboxing is a video where Youtubers unbox 3D printers, 3D scanners, or 3D filaments and share their first impressions with the viewers. 3D printers unboxing videos are quite popular and they usually cover every step, from opening the cardboard box to launching the first print. These videos are very popular on YouTube (not only for 3D printers!), as they allow viewers to share the thrill of unboxing a brand new machine and also provide unfiltered insights for potential buyers.

Reviews

For 3D printer reviews, manufacturers usually send a test unit to one or several Youtubers to get a video review and give exposure to their machine in the 3D printing community. Some creators also make reviews of 3D printers or filaments they purchased themselves, thus avoiding the potential conflict of interest.

Lately, a growing number of 3D printer and 3D filament brands have started to use YouTube reviews as a promotion channel, sending multiple 3D printer test units to influential channels and actively engaging with the community. Most YouTubers do not charge for a 3D printer review but they can sometimes keep the product for free.

Tips

In 3D printing tips videos, you will find ideas on how to solve a problem on your 3D printer or how to make some improvements to your 3D printer and your 3D prints.

How to become 3D printing Youtuber?

The beauty of YouTube is that anyone with basic video equipment can become a creator. To launch a 3D printing YouTube channel, you basically need a recording device, a 3D printer, and a good dose of motivation! Of course, if you intend to make tutorials or hands-on videos about 3D printing, having access to a 3D printer is a plus (some decent DIY 3D printers are available for less than $200).  Note that the most popular YouTubers not only use top-notch video and audio gear, they also have great video production and editing skills, which take a lot of practice to acquire.

Once you’ve started your YouTube channel, you want to build a following and promote it on social media so people can discover your work.

Reportage about construction 3D printing in Russia

News

and a manufacturer of construction 3D printers based in Yaroslavl and successfully operating in the Russian and foreign markets. The narrator is the head of the enterprise Alexander Maslov.

In already completed projects, AMT-Spetsavia printed houses both on top of the foundation and in blocks in workshop conditions. In the video, Alexander clarifies this point, which is related, among other things, to weather conditions.

“If we print a prefab in the shop, then [the process] does not depend on weather conditions in any way. Both winter and summer are about the same temperature, which is good. When you print on a foundation (which everyone loves because it eliminates the assembly step, which is quite a lot of time and money), then of course the weather conditions come into play. The construction season is usually from spring to autumn. It's hard to print in very hot weather because the long, thin concrete walls start to crack. To do this, various additives are introduced into the concrete or the printing is transferred to a more convenient night time. Comfortable temperatures are from spring to autumn, from about 5°C to 25°C. Of course, precipitation and strong winds have a very strong influence - the structure still has windage, and there is a slight shift in the printed layers. Light rain is not a hindrance, in heavy rain the wet concrete will erode, so you need to keep an eye on the weather. As a rule, an hour and a half before the approach of a thunderstorm, we stop printing, wash the equipment and wait. There is another option to close it with some kind of canopy or a greenhouse, but it’s actually easier to miss two hours of printing than to fence the roof, ”said Alexander. nine0003

A 100 square meter 3D printed box takes thirty to thirty five hours to build. Fixed formwork is printed, which can be poured with foam compounds after one or several days, depending on the brand of concrete.

Alexander did not dare to give an exact figure, since the pace of work for each team is different, but in general, a small house can be built in about a month, including pouring the foundation and curing, 3D printing of formwork, inserting windows, doors, and so on. nine0003

According to Alexander, about forty companies are currently operating in the global market for 3D construction printing — some are engaged in the development and production of equipment, some directly in construction, some combine them. According to Alexander, AMT-Spetsavia accounts for 70% of the world production of construction 3D printers, with half of them going to Russian customers. In six years, the company has sold two hundred and forty pieces of equipment to sixteen countries. nine0003

AMT-Spetsavia produces portal 3D printers of two main types - workshop systems and larger options for outdoor work. The former are used in 3D printing of small architectural forms and building blocks, while the latter are installed on construction sites and print formwork directly on top of foundations.

The working area of ​​such large-scale systems varies from one hundred and twenty square meters with the possibility of erecting two-story structures up to four hundred and twenty square meters. The latter can theoretically build buildings up to twenty-six stories high, although in practice such grandiose projects have not yet been implemented. nine0003

What's going on

What it means 3D printer is just the beginning of a new stage in the industry.

In addition, in an era of global concern for the state of the environment, such "green" technologies help to reduce environmental damage to the environment - with 3D printing, the consumption of cement and waste of building materials is much less than with "traditional" construction.

Finally, with the help of a 3D printer, almost any design idea can be realized, which will allow you to move away from the concept of residential buildings in the form of "concrete boxes". The development of this technology makes it possible to erect buildings of such forms that are difficult and expensive to build using traditional methods.
