"Influencer edition" LOL how sad is that, they make a special edition for the reviews. So they probably check them ten times before shipping. Then the peasants get the leftovers.
Not really digging this printer. It may be cheap but has a few very obvious flaws in its design, where you clearly could see the influence of other printers doing something interesting, but this implementation being a poor imitation. The X switch being all the way at the top will unspool some filament from the spool only to be crushed on the way back down. The filament brake (thats what this anti tangle thing really is) being necessary at all. The buggy setup process and laggy touch screen. The questionable gantry design is interesting and avoids z wobble. But it will drop down the second the power goes out, burying the nozzle in the print instead.
They probably put the spool on the side because the added mass (that would constantly be changing) hanging off the gantry would mess with the input shaping calibration.
@@MichaelJantzen42 Hmm well I've never heard that myth, I was just speculating going off basic physics and common sense. The spool location is pretty awkward and clunky so I assume they had a reason for it. Also if I'm not mistaken on bambu printers the spool is mounted on the enclosure not the gantry. Anyway how much of a problem it would be probably depends how rigid the printer is and how fast its designed to go.
I was thinking the same thing, that it could just throw off the printer in general with the spool vibrating up there (you could see it in one shot). But I have no 3D printers and so I guess this comment is pretty worthless. Ben will surely know or figure it out
Prusa Slicer - for supports has a bunch of options to adjust the support interface distance - you might try adjusting it out from the default. Plus if you can support multi-material try using PETG for support material - most of the time it just falls off the PLA (doesn't adhear to it).
Nice review. About the wifi not connecting issue; I have an iot wifi device, which does not work if my access point uses high channel numbers. To fix this, I manually set a low channel in the access point instead of using auto select. Perhaps the printer has a similar issue?
You should give resin printing a go for the D-pads. Once you have the flow setup it works great. Especially with water wash resin. I was against it at first because of all the hassle with chemicals, but it's all down to getting a good workflow in place. I leave the resin in the printer and only add resin. So starting a print is easy.
I have an Voxelab Aquila which is based off of the Ender 3 V2. It has the spool at the top, it's the worst place for it (at least on this printer), I find the filament snaps so often, whether I'm using the printer or not, that I have had to print a side-mounting holder for it so that I can move the spool to the side instead.
The Ender 3 S1 uses basically what you did for a spool holder/runout sensor out of the box, so I'm not sure what Creality was thinking here. That said, Creality seems to have improved quite a bit with their more recent models compared to the mostly unusable character building exercise that was my first Ender 3. All the cool kids are shilling for BambuLab these days of course, but the Creality printers actually are a pretty decent option now where I would have been extremely hesitant to recommend one a few years ago.
🧐 Aehm, well actually.. The Mr. Fusion device could have used the same principle discovered by Robert Lazar when he worked on the reactor of a UFO from the Zeta Reticuli star system where energy was directly converted from the decay of element 116 to element 115..
My, quite ranty this time, love it. I wonder what it will be like in 3 to 6 months. I swear, of the 3 printers i have had (not counting that my monoprice was replaced under warranty 4 times) they print great for 3 months then start to get cranky. Not just minor adjustments here or there, but prints perfect, prints perfect, prints perfect then can't finish a print to save my life. I had hoped by getting the A1 mini those days were over but NOPE. After 3 months it couldn't print to save its life. They did some minor tweaking to make it work better (raise the first layer temp, recalibrate, enable brim) but I still can't consistently get those perfect prints like I did for 3 months. Early planned obsolescence? I guess I'm ranty too. :) Anyway, love your videos .
Will 3D printers' progress taper off like it happened for smartphones? This looks like a decent printer but definitely not cheap. I hope you've noticed, but the slow print was due to clicking the checkbox 'calibration' just before the print. All this talk about units is getting hard to follow. We should all invent a system that we agree on. Perhaps call it the "International System of Units". Sure, some countries would be reticent to adopt it but mostly 3rd world countries. In Europe we don't use Celsius anymore, it's all in Kelvin, like now it's exactly 298.15K outside. Or 298 3/20.
The only reason Fahrenheit is 32 degrees when Celsius is 0 degrees, is because Daniel Fahrenheit took a mixture of salt and ice water as his 0 degrees point, as this was the coldest thing he could produce in his lab. He used his own body temperature as 96 degrees Fahrenheit, which was not calibrated to anything and just an assumption (and thus false). So on the one hand you have the coldest thing in his lab and in the other you have his own wrong body temperature based on assumptions, probably the "hottest" thing in the lab depending on the weather. Weird science indeed. And then the USA stuck with it.
Ben's take on metric continues to be weird. Just say "I find it inconvenient to use because it's not what I'm most familiar with." Nobody else in the world feels a need to espouse the superiority of the metric system because everyone uses it. And astronomers do use megameters.
My point is that it still has a basic in biology (fingers and water) Very much like how the Big Bang Theory doesn't sound that much different than your standard "All things sprang from a giant turtle" myth.
Jealous of the speed of these new printers, as I'm here iterating waterproof case designs for my eBike speed controller in PETG at 50mm/s on my Ender 3 Pro. 12 hours to go!!! :(
Ben is one of the only 3D printer reviewers I feel like I can trust. He's not lost in the weeds on technical this or technical that. Relevant information and testing and the cons always make sense.
Why, you don't like the new 540nm wavelengths of grass? I see no reason why it would not be easier if everyone would just use the metric system, just like its more convenient that I write this sentence to you in English instead of you trying to write anything back in Dutch.
You scoff, but when I did the Network+ exam, all references to fiber modules were in frequency. Despite *LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE OTHER PUBLICATION* using wavelength. I was basically guessing on every question that did it.
@@moosemaimer feels convoluted as fiber is usually described in wavelength but I guess it's also not that hard to go back and forth to frequency vis f=c/lambda.
All measurement systems are arbitrary. Metric's big benefit is that it works nicely in certain scientific calculations... which is completely useless for most people.
People rag on inches for having fractions, but it's all in base 2: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc. When you're doing carpentry with a tape measure and a pencil it's ideal.
@@moosemaimer The more divisors, the better for everyday use. Which is why circles were traditionally measured in 360 degrees, 60 minutes, 60 seconds. ALL THE DIVISORS. Just using *Fractions* is kind of a cheat for that. One that works well!

Thats really a myth - plus I can think of plenty of printers that have spools on the top (bambu's and mk4 for example) that also have input shaping.

@@brianbrians3157 Fair enough :)
It's possible. I've reviewed other printers without input shaping that also put it there.

I've been eyeing up the V3 plus - that extra 8cm doesn't sound like much, but it would have saved me a lot of faff in the past!

Does it only support 2.4Ghz wifi? Ive seen that pretty commonly with some iot devices that use the cheapest chipsets they could use.

You can generate electricity from temperature difference alone or solar panels.
The efficiency of electricity from the temperature difference is tragic.
Yes this how many NASA probes work such a Voyager.
