There are only 6 tips here but they’re surprisingly solid and helpful. I personally have a tendency to fall for one of the lazy issues Alan brings up (exporting and sharing with out orienting the model for printing), and I think this video might finally push me to take the few seconds of extra effort to make the experience better.

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, there’s surely something here for you that will help.
