About MeaD MaDe

Who is Chris MeaD? I am a husband to an amazing and supportive wife. A father to two amazing boys. A teacher to anyone who is willing to learn. At the root of it all,  I’m an artist. I love all aspects of art and creativity.

I’m also a techie. I love all technology and to see the future unfold before me. I’ve been 3D printing since 2014. I’ve been amazed at how far 3D printing has gone so far, and I’m really excited to see what it is used for in the future.  I truly believe the 3D printing community and space are full of great people that keep pushing the industry to the future.

3D Printing

I’ve been 3D printing since 2014. While I’m sure I have much more to learn, I have encountered many issues with 3D printers and have learned a ton over the years.  When I first started 3D printing, it was like the wild west. All the amazing websites, videos, and resources available today weren’t out there when I got into it. I spent a lot of time tinkering and learning from my mistakes. Getting into this hobby can still be challenging when starting out, so my ultimate goal is to be a resource and remove a lot of the friction for beginners who want to get into the hobby. I have a videos and tutorials on 3D printing and 3D printer maintenance.

Painting 3D Prints

If 3D printing is my hobby, painting 3D prints is my passion. When I started painting 3D prints, it was really hard to get started. I didn’t know what supplies or equipment I needed, let alone the best way to start painting. There were so many amazing people out there teaching these advanced painting techniques, and I just needed some beginner tips.

I started MeaD MaDe to help people get started painting 3D prints. The true beginners. I wanted to help bridge the gaps (or chasm) that existed between the basics and the pro techniques. My goal is to teach and encourage anyone who wants to start painting 3D prints to take the leap and just get started.  Anyone can pick up a brush and create a work of art they are proud of, no matter their experience level.

3D Printing Software

Let’s be honest some of the most confusing things about 3D printing is the software you need. You can’t just grab a 3D model and hit print. you have to turn it into G-Code. No matter what your experience level depending on the project it can be confusing. I am a person that loves to test and tinker with software. I have made videos and articles to help you better understand the softwares you need to get those amazing 3D Prints.
