AL: Basically Benski Interview (S25E0220)
In this Asylum Live interview (recorded February 20th, 2025), we sit down with popular creator Basically Benski to discuss his journey in the 3D printing world and beyond.
Starting with an Ender 3 V1 gifted by his father in July 2023, Benski shares how he built his TikTok following and eventually turned his passion into a business selling 3D prints at vendor markets. As someone with dyslexia, he explains his unique perspective on AI as “augmented intelligence” and how it enhances his creative process.
Benski opens up about his favorite equipment (he’s a Creality K2 Plus enthusiast), recommended filaments (New Makers and Flash Forge), and his approach to avoiding burnout in the creator space. True to his non-gatekeeper philosophy, he offers practical advice for newcomers looking to enter the 3D printing market.
We also explore Benski’s personal interests beyond printing, from his love of motorcycles to his passion for classic films like “Last of the Mohicans” and “Casablanca.” Don’t miss his mention of “Basically Us,” the podcast he co-hosts with Brady where they share their most controversial takes!
Whether you’re a 3D printing enthusiast, aspiring maker entrepreneur, or simply curious about the creative process, this conversation offers valuable insights and inspiration.
