Hi, I’m Geoff — though online I’m known as VogMan. I review 3D printers, design models that actually print, and share practical, no-nonsense insight so makers like you can build, learn, and create. No gimmicks, no fluff — just tested ideas and working results.
You’ll find me on YouTube reviewing 3D printers, resins, filaments, CAD software, and all the gear that goes with them. I don’t just read off spec sheets or follow a manufacturer’s script — I test things properly, using them in real projects.
I’ve developed a reputation for honesty. And while that may never land me the big fat monthly sponsorships some of those other channels get (you know the ones), I tell you what actually matters — the good, the bad, and the stuff others don’t even think of.
I also make tutorials, build practical (and hopefully fun) projects, and I’m becoming increasingly known for my 3D modelling — the kind that’s genuinely tested before release and actually prints.
I’ve been doing this for years, so when I say something works, it’s because I’ve put it to work.
I’m not an expert — just mostly self-taught — but I seem to have a knack for explaining things. When I can, I share what I’ve learned through tutorials. Whether it’s software like FreeCAD, Lychee, or Fusion 360, or understanding how (and why) a resin printer works, I focus on making things clear and simple, in a way even I can understand - so you won’t have trouble.
I’m never fast-paced, and my approach might not be textbook. But my tutorials have made a real difference — and they keep people coming back again and again.
Tired of print failures, I started designing my own 3D models to test printers properly — and I shared these so others can print with confidence. I’m no expert, but I’ve created jewellery, miniatures, modular castles, working trebuchets, and practical pieces like planetary gearboxes.
My models are made for printability, durability, and actual use. They’re designed by someone who actually prints them — not by someone selling a slick render that turns into a blob of resin or a rat’s nest of filament.
If you’ve found my work useful, entertaining, or just refreshingly honest — a bit of support goes a long way. It keeps me testing, designing, and occasionally swearing at a misbehaving printer so you don’t have to.
One last thing — the striking image at the top of this page is actually a ring. I printed it and photographed it, but full credit for the design goes to Tomas Wittelsbach. A few lines of text can't do his work justice — thank you, Tomas!
