Hi! My name is Macy Hicks. I run a 3D printing YouTube channel and 3D printing business - MacyMakes3D. I've been 3D printing for the past 4 years and it has quickly become my passion. I taught 7th grade math for 6 years before leaving my job to pursue 3D printing full time. I'm excited to bring you this course as it combines my love for teaching and 3D printing into one masterpiece. I hope you find as much enjoyment and excitement from 3D printing as I have.
