MakerMind Nexus is the home of creativity, restoration, and accessible innovation. Founded by Dan Borio, the channel and community are dedicated to breathing new life into old 3D printers, empowering makers of all skill levels, and helping bring technology within reach for those who need it most.
What started as a passion for tinkering has grown into a mission: rehab, rebuild, and re-imagine. Whether it’s salvaging neglected machines, sharing repair know-how, or donating equipment and materials to people who can’t afford to get started, MakerMind Nexus exists to make the world of 3D printing more open and inclusive.
On the MakerMind Nexus YouTube channel, Dan documents each restoration journey—from diagnosis to rebuild to final print—so you can learn the process, avoid the pitfalls, and gain confidence in your own maker projects. Every machine has a story, and every repair is a chance to teach, inspire, and help grow the maker community.
Beyond repairs, MakerMind Nexus fosters a space where curiosity thrives. Here you’ll find discussions on technology, creative problem-solving, and the maker mindset that encourages everyone to keep exploring, keep learning, and keep building.
Whether you’re here to learn, to be inspired, or to breathe new life into a forgotten printer, welcome to the Nexus. Let’s make something awesome together.
