Joel Telling
Pacific Northwest native based in Shoreline, WA. Content creator, maker, and YouTube's most trusted voice in 3D printing - informing, educating, and advocating for this technology since the early days.
I'm Joel - husband, father, believer, and lifelong tech nerd with a background in software development, mobile devices, and quality assurance. My love for gadgets eventually collided with a brand-new 3D printer, and the 3D Printing Nerd was born.
What started as a personal channel to show off cool prints has grown into one of the most trusted online destinations for 3D printer reviews, hands-on tutorials, and honest industry coverage - from desktop hobbyist machines all the way to industrial additive manufacturing at events like Formnext.
My mission has always been the same: inform, educate, and advocate - especially when it comes to getting this technology into the hands of kids. And yes, I end every video the same way.
"As always, high five! ✋"
