    I can't stress enough to beginners: Spend a bit more money to buy a printer with all of the "upgrades" that you're going to add anyway to a "starter" printer. My first two printers needed a LOT of upgrades, and considering the time and expense, I'd have been better off spending another $100 for each of those printers to get the upgraded versions with bed leveling sensors, filament sensors, direct drive extruders... secondary, but might be important to many, get a printer with a decent hot end assembly (this means a heatbreak enabling hotter temperatures). V-rails or rods? Dual z-axis or single? Decide these things BEFORE you choose a base printer; for example, upgrading to a dual-Z from a single-Z is not a straightforward upgrade (wasn't on my Ender 3 Pro, binding like crazy). Lastly, Klipper or Marlin? Regardless of what side you land on that one, I'd say it's easier - and safer - to start with Marlin. Klipper adds a layer of complexity that demands experience when dealing with issues. Get that experience first, then dip your feet into the world of Klipper.

      For those that just want prints yeah BUT for tinkers the upgrading process can be half the fun, I loved starting with the base model ender3 because I got to do the upgrading myself which taught me more about the printer and process plus for me was fun. When I first brought a printer I also didn’t know if I’d enjoy the hobby so the upfront saving was appealing

      @@nassahexxofficialif your just starting out I wouldn’t go over 300 tbh learn it and if you like it I would upgrade I can’t wait to save for an industrial and resin printer they’re costly but the cheaper ones still work fine just need a little more fine tuning to get a decent print but it’s definitely worth it for new people cuz it helps with learning imo
      Edit: if you can find a reasonable used one I’d go for it depending on what it is I wouldn’t pay too much for it though

    Goodness, I can't thank you enough for this video! I've been watching so many videos and had an idea of most of the things mention. But, you went into the detail and reasons that I wanted and needed. BTW, I'm a 70 yo woman and beyond anxious to get my first printer. But, I want to be educated thoroughly so I can jump right in when the printer arrives and I'll be off and running. I have SO many things that I want to design and print, including repairs. I'm learning Onshape and having a blast learning it, although I did have a good bit of experience with Sketch-Up a number of years ago, so it makes a lot of sense. I've already created a bunch of parts for my bird feeder that finally succumbed to the last bear attack, so I now have replacement parts ready to print to repair it. This is going to be so very exciting! So, thank you again. You've earned another subscriber!

      @@olowookeretemidayo3231 Well, here is something that might interest you. I am thinking about opening up a 3D Print storefront here in Scottsdale, AZ. I would sell my models and looking for others that might be interested. 2 ways to do this. 1). The maker sends what he thinks will sell. Before sending I will see if there is an interest level. However that would require the maker to supply me with inventory so the maker would print, use filament, and send via mail of the physical product. 2). Send me the designed file, the stl or 3mf. I would then print it using my printers, my filament, and no need to mail. Easier. I would be paying fellow consigners based on what sells. The storefront, which I do not own, it's like an upscale farmers market. The provide display cases and labels. So a buyer grabs the label, brings to the front where that front desk person opens the display case, grabs the item, and processes the transaction. So, you and everyone gets an inventory of what is sold. Interested in that?

    This is a very good overview of 3D printers in general. A couple of points for clarification are needed based on what was mentioned though: The Gantry controls the X and Z axis, not the “X and Y” axis. The longer printer you demonstrated with has a Type “B” USB connector and not a “Type A” connector. Beyond those items everything else was very well covered and should help any newbie understand most of what they need to know to make their first purchase. For a follow on video, you may want to consider discussing the types of printers on the market like Core XY, bed-slinger, or the types that have round vs square/rectangle beds and the types of bed materials, which is a major factor in the output of most all prints.

    I need help finding a slicer or program which is easy to learn with my 9 and 10 year old.. We started with Tinkercad..but for some reason we make something and then can't transfer G code to our snapmaker J1.. Prusa keeps loading and then that soft ware keeps saying can't export G code too or it doesn't work with our apple laptop which is updated to the latest software.

    This probably wasn't the best video to watch as an interested prenewbie to 3D printing. LOLOL 30 mins isn't long for a "teaching" video (I watch crocheting videos 3x as long, lol), it's ALL the info crammed into that 30 mins. My head was spinning and now I'm no longer interested in 3D printing, lolol. You did a superb job in explaining everything...for those somewhat familiar with the process, the techy stuff, and logistics, but for someone who knows absolute zero about this, it was overwhelming. For everything you explained, I would need a course in 3D Printing for Dummies, lolol. This was simply not "dummy" enough for me, lolol. I still gave the video a like though, I hope that helps ease the pain of this passive-aggressive comment from a prenewbie. 😉

    Great video, the reason I started watching 3D printing is because I saw a video of using strips of a recycle plastic bottle being use as filament. Is this technology close to the market?
    What is your take on using recycling material to create 3D items?

    • @The3DPrintingZone
      @The3DPrintingZone  3 місяці тому +1

      Great question. I haven't tried the bottle strip filament yet because it seems like there would be issues with inconsistency. The 3D printer nozzle requires a pretty precise measurement of filament to have consistent and error-free layers, but I know people have done the bottle filament successfully so I think it'd be worth a try at least!

    Great video! Just what I needed. Been looking at 3D printer videos for a while, but did not really know of all those things with what a slicer really was, and some of the most common preferences were when printing etc. So much wiser now, thank you! Currently I were considering printers like the Prussian MK4 or Bambulab X1C. Never 3D printed anything before, but seen many videos about it. Even if less expensive printers could do it, I just want to get the best experience, and try to think ahead in regards to future need. Already heard of folks that started with something like the Prussian Mini, and quickly realized they wanted more. I hardly have the space for 1, but I definitely do not have space for 2, so need to get it right the first time. :D. So what would I wish to print. Well besides playing around, and printing PLA stuff, then I am also into Retro computers where different drive bay covers, buttons etc. could be interesting, but also into soldering, and could need to print housing for different small devices etc. Though with the apparent many 3D designs out there, I would probably begin to dream bigger.

    • @The3DPrintingZone
      @The3DPrintingZone  11 місяців тому +2

      Sounds like fun things to print. I’d strongly encourage you to at least start looking into learning some 3D modeling. It opens up a world of possibilities.
      If you can afford a Bambu Lab or Prusia, I agree that it’s a great way to go. I have the Prusia XL on order but it could be a while still. The MK4 looks amazing and any/all of the Bambu Lab printers are fantastic. I have two and I love them. The X1C is really cool but I imagine the P1P is sufficient for most folks. I run an AMS on both of mine and it’s really nice to have.

    • @amndk34
      @amndk34 11 місяців тому +1

      @@The3DPrintingZone yeah 3D Modeling may be a point to play with as well. I definitely considered that as well. About Bambu Lab printers, there are also downsides I can see from other UA-cam reviews. AMS can be tricky sometimes, and not the whole bed is available unless fiddling a lot with settings. Also the machine waste a lot of filament, and using AMS to print multicolor stuff, the waste gets enormous. However, I guess many such issues could be fixed somewhat by FW updates from vendor side. All 3D printers have their quirks, only a matter of what the user can live with I guess. The Bambu Lab X1C does seem appealing in both capabilities, and build quality though. Closed source is not so much an issue for me, as long as it is well supported, though the proprietary nozzles is a point to consider also. Many considerations! I heard good things about Prusa printers, while those also has some quirks. 🙂

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:13 🖨️ FDM and Resin 3D Printing: FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) involves melting filament layer by layer, while Resin 3D Printing uses UV-curable resin for each layer.
    02:33 🧤 Resin 3D Printing Safety: Resin 3D printing uses toxic resin, requiring gloves and a respirator for handling uncured prints.
    03:01 🖨️ Key Parts of an FDM 3D Printer: Understand components like the bed, hot end, extruder, gantry, power supply, logic board, stepper motors, and more in an FDM 3D printer.
    04:38 📐 3D Models and Slicing: 3D models start as STL files, which are sliced by software (like Cura) into G-Code instructions for the printer.
    05:47 🧩 Slicing Software: Popular slicing software includes Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, IdeaMaker, and MatterControl, with settings for print parameters.
    09:32 🔧 Support and Infill: Supports help prints bridge gaps, infill determines interior solidity, and layer height influences print resolution.
    11:10 🔍 Layer Height: Lower layer heights offer higher print resolution, but settings should match your nozzle size.
    12:47 💾 G-Code Transfer: G-Code files generated by slicers are transferred to 3D printers via SD cards, micro SD cards, USB drives, or wireless connections.
    13:29 🌈 Filament Types: Common filament types include PLA, PETG, and ABS, with various specialty filaments offering unique properties.
    16:57 🌐 Multiple Filaments: Some 3D printers support multiple filaments at once, allowing for multicolor or multimaterial prints.
    17:12 🔧 First Layer: Achieving the perfect first layeris essential for a successful 3D print; automatic bed leveling or manual leveling with a piece of paper can help.
    19:03 🚀 Step-by-Step Process: The video provides a comprehensive overview, from unboxing your 3D printer to slicing and printing your desired model.Is there anything else you would like to know or any specific topic you'd like to explore further?
    19:45 🏗️ Essential 3D Printer Features: Look for features like a user-friendly interface, good temperature range, and a quality bed material like PEI for easy adhesion and print removal.
    20:13 🔄 Customization with Marlin Firmware: Open source firmware like Marlin allows for extensive printer customization, enhancing your 3D printing experience.
    20:27 🦾 Dual Gear Extruder: A 3D printer with a dual gear extruder provides maximum grip on the filament, improving print reliability, especially with flexible materials like TPU.
    21:38 🚫 Common 3D Printing Issues: First-layer adhesion problems and layer shifts can occur. Address them by cleaning the bed, proper bed leveling, and checking belt tension.
    22:47 🧹 Troubleshooting Resources: For more 3D printing troubleshooting help, resources like All3DP and teaching Tech's tips are valuable.
    25:08 🛠️ Pro Tips for Success: Minimize support structures, experiment with lower infill percentages, consider buying quality paid models, and engage with 3D printing communities for support.
    26:49 📝 Step-by-Step 3D Printing Guide: Follow these steps for successful 3D printing from unboxing to printing your own files. Be patient, as some prints can take a long time.
    30:19 🕰️ Embrace 3D Printing: 3D printing offers endless possibilities, so experiment with different filaments, colors, and printers to unleash your creativity.

    With this video and others I've watched, the word "SLICER" seems to be used in various contexts. For example, this tells us to Step 6: print off a model that came with the printer. Then LATER (Step 9) you tell us to find and download Slicer Software. SO HOW could we have printed that model that came with the printer without already having a Slicer? WOULDN'T the printer COME WITH a Slicer? It seems inconceivable that it wouldn't.
