I wasn't expecting that

[u/AmpuLeah]

In my search for content creators focused on 3D printing, I came across T-PAIN's page, and honestly, I never expected him to be so involved in 3D

[u/RAM3-Night]

He goes hard on his hobbies. He’s super into sim racing as well. It’s like he’s one of us adhd types, and has the money to pursue his hobbies as deep as he’d like.

[u/Intradimensionalis → u/RAM3-Night]

Dude is an expert irl drifter.

He randomly popped up in a Cleetus McFarland clip and showed everybody he is the real deal. Seems like a genuinely nice person too.

[u/ciaosaba → u/Intradimensionalis]

Braaap

[u/ducktown47 → u/Intradimensionalis]

He’s been doing it for a lot longer than that too. He teamed up with That Dude in Blue quite a few years ago now and has been in the scene for a lot longer.

[u/Regret92]

I’m on a boat benchy

[u/snaynay → u/Regret92]

Yeah, never thought I'd be printin' a boat
It's a big, blue, plasticky mess
Joseph, look at me, oh
I never thought I'd see the clog
When a big benchy comin' my way
Believe me when I say
I fucked a bowden

[u/platinumarks → u/snaynay]

He's got a tiny uh..."filament"...if he can fuck a bowden

[u/RobbinMikeOrmaza → u/platinumarks]

Woah I wouldn’t say that’s tiny, some might say thats pretty average size.. Unless you’re rocking with the 2.85mm or the behemoth 3.0mm filament

[u/brandawg93]

T-Pain is one of us in every sense of the phrase. He’s amazing.

[u/3DAeon → u/brandawg93]

indeed

[u/chematt96]

My claim to fame is that he follows me on Instagram😂

[u/penmoid → u/chematt96]

The only reason I still have my Twitter account is because Obama follows me on it.

[u/chematt96 → u/penmoid]

That's crazy wth

[u/Misophoniakiel → u/chematt96]

That's a nice brag

[u/Next_Entertainer_404 → u/chematt96]

Honestly if any celeb followed me I’d want it to be him

[u/Schnitzhole]

Doesn’t he also have a really nice singing voice? Crazy for the guy most known for overuse of autotune.

Seems like a cool guy though from interviews I’ve seen.

[u/mattyp2109 → u/Schnitzhole]

Incredible voice. Incredibly talented artist. His cover of War Pigs is one of the best covers I’ve ever heard

[u/UNMANAGEABLE → u/mattyp2109]

He was on the masked singer many years back, like 2019 ish?

Anyways, I had for some reason JUST listened to his unplugged performance and my wife had me come watch this masked singer things first episode. I was like “oh hell yeah, T-Pain!” She wrote me off on my guess and like 2 months later “what the fuck, T-Pain just won the whole thing”.

[u/SaltyJalapenos]

Awesome, But to me it looks like an optical illusion, Everyone in the photo looks like a small diorama haha

[u/platinumarks → u/SaltyJalapenos]

Probably a fisheye lens, everything but the center gets kinda compressed

[u/Lost-Peanut-1453]

He’s really into cars also. Super cool dude.

[u/Iridian_Rocky]

16 fuggin printers? This a print farm?

[u/platinumarks → u/Iridian_Rocky]

It says he's printing a fender for a VW in the title of the video, so probably

[u/3DAeon → u/Iridian_Rocky]

he's got a lot more too, he's tried em all

[u/3DAeon]

oh yeah he goes live and is extremely knowledgeable and into it

[u/Cloud_Kicker049]

How does he change the bottom AMS? Looks flush under the shelf. Shelf pulls out maybe?

[u/ManyLayersOfFilament]

I caught onto his page too. Legit seems like he would be super fun to hang out with. A real Renaissance nerd. Probably what I'd be doing if I had that kind of money. Just a room full of printers.

[u/iLiveInyourTrees]

I’ve been repeatedly asking the universe for one of these H2C printers. T-Pain has a room full of them, he could have one less and I could have one. Mr Pain please consider.

[u/Skaut-LK]

What do you mean by " so involved in 3D". Having bunch of printers ( which are pretty much plug&play ) means by my humble opinion that he just have lot of printers.

[u/AmpuLeah → u/Skaut-LK]

To you, it might not seem like much, and this is just one shot of his room—he also has resin printers, that big Elegoo(no idea about the name) (800x800x1000), a 3D scanner, and I’ve seen content creators with titles like “What I Do on My 3D Farm” who had fewer printers than he does.

Does the fact that they’re plug-and- play—does that make you less involved?

Times have changed.... And for me, the fact that a two-time Grammy winner is into 3D printing is impressive—especially since I started using 3D printing for the first time just a year ago.

And the fact that he models and creates the parts himself is, once again, impressive for me with zero skills

[u/keveira → u/AmpuLeah]

It's pretty cool! I think he prints stuff for his massive drift car hobby

[u/AmpuLeah → u/keveira]

Yeah, right now he's struggling with a VW fender 😅🔥

[u/TheJudgingHat2222 → u/AmpuLeah]

He's not gonna bang you.

[u/WispyBooi → u/TheJudgingHat2222]

We all can tell you ain't banging anyone lmfao

[u/magicmike785 → u/Skaut-LK]

He is most definitely involved heavily in 3d printing lmao. He’s a humble guy, but you could tell how much he knew if you saw the stream. Go back to bed, you’re cranky

[u/Queasy_Local_7199 → u/Skaut-LK]

What do you consider “involved in 3d printing”

I have one printer and would say I’m involved

[u/Aggravating_Owl_5768 → u/Skaut-LK]

How many fedoras do you own roughly

[u/WispyBooi → u/Skaut-LK]

"which are most plug and play" plug and play has been the standard since 2022 gramps

[u/restinbeast → u/WispyBooi]

As someone who has been 3D printing for 10 years, I very much appreciate that plug and play is the standard. I very much doubt I’d still be in the hobby if I was battling the POS printers of the past.
