In this lecture we begin the most important part of the process. This step involves setting up the Blender interface by enabling add-ons. These add-ons are effectively switches for some of the many useful functions available within Blender that speed up the user’s workflow.

In this lecture we quickly go over some of the short cut keys within Blender. These shortcut keys are a fantastic feature and increase the speed of a user’s workflow expediently. Learning these keys at an early stage will help you with future projects as they can be used in every area of Blender.
In this lecture we append a profile of the grip I prepared earlier from another Blender file. Appending is a very useful feature and one you will use time and time again. The profile allows us to quickly model the shape of the grip. Please note that background images can also be added and used as guides for modelling.
In this lecture we add some modifiers. The first on is a subdivision surface and it increases the amount of division on a mesh. It helps to smooth an object but has the side affect of slowing down the performance of a computer, so keeping the sub divisions view as low as possible can be a good idea.
In this tutorial we quickly take a look at the simple upload process to Shapeways and the options within it. You will need to set up an account to use the service. If you do not wish to use this service there are plenty of 3D print services available that will be happy to quote a price for your 3D model in stl format.
