FAQ

Q: Are you available for Business Enquiries (such as review requests and sponsored content)?A: Reviews and sponsorships on Maker's Muse are a great way of gaining exposure to our 1,000,000+ subscriber base and are available on a strictly limited basis. We take pride in our channel and only work with companies that align with our brand.
(Please note: We have not and will not accept paid reviews. Requesting such content will result in your company being blacklisted. Please watch this video outlining our review approach: Makers Muse Review Outline)Q: Are you interested in GenAI, or working with AI-based companies?A: No, I do not support it nor will I have it in my workshop, private life, or in my channel. I believe in human-centred technologies that supports the creativity of the individual, or real people working together, and I have found that Generative AI does not support or encourage creativity and innovation in any meaningful way for people. Creativity itself is a journey of discovery at the end of the day, and getting AI to do the thinking for you tends to rob people of that experience and potential growth. Also I could never support a technology that makes the world a worse place to live in that harms people for profit - that is the antithesis of what I believe in. Made by humans, for humans!Q: Where are you located? I'd love to meet up / visit!A: We are located in sunny Australia, however our exact location is kept private and I can't do meet and greets sorry.Q: Are you available for consulting / collaborating on our project?A: Running Maker's Muse is my full time job and unfortunately I cannot commit time to other projects or consulting at this time.Q: I'm having trouble with my 3D Printer! Can you help?A: By joining the Maker's Muse Patreon and Discord, you can post about your issue and we will attempt to assist. I also highly recommend watching our YT 3D Printing 101 series, found here:
3D Printing 101 SeriesQ: How did you first get into 3D Printing? What did you find interesting about this technology?A: I first discovered 3D Printing towards the end of high school and used it heavily during my Industrial Design studies at the University of Technology, Sydney. I was fascinated in the ability to create a physical object directly from my 3D Designs and ideas - and once I purchased my first desktop 3D Printer (the UP Mini from Tiertime), I was hooked.Q: Can you recommend a 3D Printer for me?A: Due to our work load we are unable to assist for this question on an individual basis. A 3D Printer is a costly investment and the perfect machine for you depends heavily on many factors. It would be irresponsible for us to recommend a machine without knowing your exact situation and what you aim to accomplish. You can find our past reviews here: Makers Muse Reviews PlaylistQ: What advice can you give to someone who wants to get into 3D Printing?A: Don't buy a 3D Printer straight away! Join your local makerspace, hackerspace or even library (many have 3D Printers now) and try 3D Printing for yourself. There are even many workshops aimed at beginners you can attend around the world. Once you're happy, do your research and find a machine that suits your budget but be aware, low cost kits are not for those wanting an easy and quick 3D Printing experience.Q: What is your stance on sustainability in 3D Printing?A: 3D Printing is only a small player in the global plastics problem, but Maker's Muse is committed to minimizing its impact. Our 3D Printers are run on Solar where possible, and old / failed 3D Prints are sorted into plastic type and stored on site. In future we hope to recycle this into new filament or products. Maker's Muse is also actively investigating fully home compostable alternatives to PLA for use in 3D Printing.Resin 3D Prints are fully cured and then disposed of responsibly!
