- In this video, I tour some of China’s TOP 3D Printing companies. Brought to you by AnyCubic, makers of the new Kobra 2 Series. Check them out at jle.vi/anycubic
For the last 10 days, I've been touring an absolute who's who of Shenzhen's TOP 3D Printing companies, including Creality, LDO Motors, FYSETC, BigTreeTech, and BIQU…. and in THIS video, I'm going to share exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, never-before-seen products, all the secrets I was able to dig up, and my bottom line conclusions about what has arguably become the epicenter of 3D printing innovation and manufacturing...
This video is part of a series. In the NEXT video, I will be touring Bambu Lab, Siboor, AnyCubic, PCBWay, and more 3D printing companies… (That Video is LIVE NOW: • Touring China's 3D Pri... )

Thanks for watching! I’d love to hear what you thought about the video in the comments below!!
Wow, what a trip! Congrats on syncing family and work so well! And big thanks for taking us, viewers too on this trip with you :)
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I hope I get to visit again soon :)
Can't wait to see the new Positron! I recently went on vacation and the whole time I wished that I had my printer with me
Same!
Great tour, really enjoyed it and looking forward to more.
love it! looks like you had a lot of fun!
Wow, really enjoyed this video! Waiting to see the next part!
Coming soon! thx for the comment
Thank you for this video... my fingers are crossed that there is some juicy Bambu info. They have me so exited. Can't wait to see the video.
You won’t be disappointed… but I can’t show anything of what I have seen in the tour video lol
GREAT video, this is something else, very interesting to see the behind the scenes of these companies. Great work bro.
Thank you so much!!
EXCELLENT video as always. i'm just salivating at the thought of the possible new units arriving. its understandable though that you cannot share with us many of the new coming products that you saw. but can you tell us WHEN these new products are to be expected? i'm seriously considering buying a qidi x max 3 and the only thing stopping from committing is the possibility of a price drop for when NEW models would arrive. it would be a pity if i purchase the max 3 only to see a significant price drop only after a few days OR something better suited for my needs to appear only days AFTER i bought it.
Your videos are knocking it out the park, well done, love the content
Wow, thank you so much
Super video. Great content! Very nice to see the faces behind the products.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
I really love your videos, super fun to watch
Thank you so much!
You lucky dog! This is awesome man. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and happy you got to experience it and share it with us. Totally tuned in and looking forward to all the new stuff and content.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for your support
Was waiting for someone to make one of those - awesome !
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done video. You helped inspire me to build an LDO Trident and i was glad to see nore of their operations
Glad I could help!
Love the video! At what time does your Bambu video drop on the 20th? I am eastern time in Canada.
I think 9AM?
Awesome video, Thanks for sharing.Will share on my Socials.
Thanks for sharing!!
Such a rad trip
You must have noticed that despite media scare tactics countries like China are actually amazing places with amazing people
As far as i know the main problem with China is the goverment , not the people , is just that people love to group the two even thought they aren't the same (per example the whole Ukraine Russia war)
I also learned that the government is not one big entity... Shenzhen, in Guangdong province, has VERY different laws and liberties than, say, Beijing or Shanghai. It's like California vs. Kentucky... so life is SOOO different in those places.
Amaizing video! Can't wait for the rest
Coming soon!
You've been killing it. You really deserve more subscribers!
Awww thanks! I'm working hard on it. Hoping to hit 100K by EOY! :)
Very interesting! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video! Creality meseum looks fun. Nice to know that Creality K1 is getting better!
It really is!
Oh man I am jealous you got to go to all these cool places. I love BTT/Biqu’s gear, I just got their T100V extruder and that thing is a work of art. Not entirely designed for my printer but an easy adapter plate and it work’s awesome. Great video mate 👍🇦🇺😊
Thanks!
Really interesting video! But now I'm waiting the one for BambuLab :)
Coming soon!
Very cool to see the behind the scenes
Thanks!
GREAT for me is the best video that you made I am linking to see you win more exposure ! i am wating fro great things from you ! thanks!
THANK YOU so much :)
I thought it was funny / crazy / interesting that they all have bambu lab printers as well. Looking forward to your bambu lab tour video
coping ideas or seeing how they got something to work or straight up reverse engineering it isnt anything new in any industry they coukd also possibly be testing agaisnt the most popular machines in the market with thier own to see how they stack up
Coming soon!
Fix audio level
Jealous.. what a trip & experience, can't wait to see more!😁
I hope FYSEC will concentrate their efforts to plug and play upgrades for printers, there is a mass of owners that don't upgrade their machines because they are not confident enough, plug and play is something that has been ignored by other manufacturers, I would like FYSEC to release an inhouse firmware upgrade to enable their upgrades to be plug and play on Marlin machines.
thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
Yo! I know you kinda glossed over it in the FYSTEC segment because very few people have a belt printer, but a PEI belt for my CR30 is exactly what I've been wanting since forever! I just need to wait for my next paycheck! (Is there maybe an affiliate link I could click on for you?)
Hey! Great! Yeah jle.vi/Fysetc would help :) thanks. I don’t know when it goes on sale though.
I like the the fact that creality is using Vorons lol 10:05
Yeah! Testing for compatibility with their filaments… or trying to use them to improve their own printers. I was surprised too.
Nice to see Creality is working on bettering the K1!
Yeah! Happy to see it
Now if only they can work on their customer service...
Please review the new Ender 3 V3 SE. It’s cool to see where all of these printers are designed; thanks a lot.
It’s on its way to me I think.
It becomes very fragmented when you try to include so many companies in one video, better if you had taken a couple of companies in one video at a time and made a more in-depth review.
It would have been very interesting, for example, to hear a bit more about how the conversation went with Creality's engineers.The first question should be how they could miss the problems with the extruder!
Yeah, I hear you, unfortunately, even 2 videos was pushing it big time. I've already sold a LOT of my future videos through October to sponsors months and months ago, and I can't delay those deadlines, so I had to "squeeze" these 2 videos in.
I'm so happy you didn't mention Prusa.
Why would I in a tour of China? But I did say “Prusa style enclosure”
I love that they all have Bambu Labs machines on hand to reverse engineer 😂
I know right?
@@thenextlayer I appreciate this kind of industry content. More like this
I saw more vorons in the different offices as bamboo lab ones.
Oh moving up in the world. Congrats!
Thanks
You being invited into a Chinese factory speaks a lot about their culture and trust. Chinese do not despise US citizens (for that matter, any citizen of the world). Your "saving face" attitude when reviewing 3D printers - logical, stating likes and dislikes without vaudeville actions nor abrasive comments - have won the manufacturers' hearts. I've seen other reviewers.... a few are are just plain showoffs bordering on nasty, only to apologize in their follow-up video. Pretty sure they'll never get another review unit with pantomime acts.
Keep up the good work and review fairly. You'll be respected as a foreigner with dignified responses.
Wow thank you! This is high praise.
This is some good content here 👏 Love taking a glimpse the inner workings of these companies. Particularly interested in bambu in the next video.
Yep. I can't show much of anything but I'll show what I can :)
Looks like it was a great trip and you were well received. Too bad your wife got sick. Your kids have had the experience of a lifetime that they'll always remember.
DEFINITELY. I can tell my 9 month old "you've already been to China" lol
I wonder why Biqu and Fysetc are unknown names in the 3D community, never heard about those companies before or saw any reviews.
You probably aren’t building voron machines then hehe
You pointed kut that there was a lot of Bambulab printers but i saw way more Vorons
To be fair i was going to compnaies that build vorons and voron parts
Can't wait for Elegoo!
I wasn't able to visit there, I have no relationship with them. Maybe tweet at them and suggest that they get in contact with me? :)
@@thenextlayer would be wonderful!
Anycubic really made a good choice this time😂 it will be cool if you can introduce some more interesting things during your visit ! Have fun!
Stay tuned, next video comes tomorrow
Any cubic pre orders, do you think you could get your friends there to actually give an estimate of how long pre orders are taking? No where to be found on website and Reddit are slating them for orders not filled after months of waiting!!!
I'll see if I can check for you...
Hopefully the K1 Pro or K1 S will be absolute beasts, hahaha. This is such a cool insight into all these companies! I would love to do something similar for auto parts companies, but I suspect the tech and emerging market nature of 3D printing makes this a pretty unique experience.
Is there going to be a K1 Pro? Never heard anything..
@@thenextlayer Hehehe I'm sure you didn't. ;)
How common is it that the majority of the folks you mentioned in the tour gave anglicized names? Do they actually use them? Was it for privacy reasons? So many interesting cultural questions.
Almost everyone has an English name. They choose it to make business with westerners easier. I literally only met one or two business people on my trip who didn’t have one and it was because their Chinese name was really easy, like Wuen.
I dont think Aliexpress has a bad reputation in maker spheres. A lot of shops use their storefront and fulfillment just because its cheap and effective.
If it wasn't for AliExpress I wouldn't own and maintain a printer.
True, I also love AliExpress, but I've heard americans express some concern before... maybe not makers, though, you're right, just my normie friends
The Chinese people truly are an INCREDIBLE group....Their are Smart, Wise, Kind, Considerate, Innovative, and most of all....WELCOMING!!! My 1st job was as a Busboy at my family's favorite Chinese restaurant. The owners and all the staff were so cool. I had always had a strong love for the culture (being a life-long Martial Artist).
I am so glad you and your family got to enjoy then within the context of their culture.
~MF~
Creality looks like a fun place to work at.
Definitely, it's a very young company, and everyone i asked said it's considered a very good place to work
@@thenextlayeryour visit there gives us a view of china we don’t see in the states. It’s always negative things we hear from our sources. Good to see it’s a normal place to visit.
a certain german camera-team would be very envious of you 😉 (It is an inside Joke for german viewers)
You have lovely children. And of course a fantastic interesting informative video, again.
Thank you!!’
I like the format and concept of the video, but really would have liked to see a bit more depth for each location. It felt very rushed. Fysec for example. Carbon fiber tap kit, and you just barely toss a mention, 2 sec of B-roll and its gone. BTT has TONS of gadgety toys. No talk of their canbus plans? Knomi? New mantas? Their new terminator toolhead? You spent more time on inserted 3rd-party marketing than your own discoveries and hands on. I'm sure there were tons of things we could have seen in the creality museum. Dig a bit deeper. If time is an issue, stick to one location per vid. Give us some meat.
Wow thanks for the feedback. I’m super surprised to hear that. I thought people would just wanna see what the places looked like, not products they’ll see on the websites in a week. I’ll go deeper next time!!!
@@thenextlayer Oh I would definitely like to see a deeper dive also! I want to see what is coming out, how they are made, everything. I love factory tours and I do agree with @mcbeenb that I felt rushed. I know, a lot to cover in just a few days makes it hard to focus harder on each one especially with the family there and they are WAY more important than 3d printers....unless they have one like in Westworld then it's a tie :)
Super cool! Definitely excited for the next layer of this, shall I say. But - respond to my elaboration already!
Which one? Where? On Discord?

Ok I think I’ve finally decided. I like “let’s get after it” ok I’ll drop it now 😅😂
lol thanks :) I think of you every time I say it
@@thenextlayer 😂 That's all I ever wanted 😅
You could have put emoji instead of blur over your kids' faces. It looks good that way.
Good idea maybe in the future
Lmao bambu at start
Yep. Tour of Bambu is in the next video. But I can’t show 99% of what I saw there.
Shenzhen is a powerhouse for almost everything. If anything happened like a natural disaster there the whole world would feel it.
Truth
Not a fan of FYSETC, they tried to patent orbiter extruder. They are the chinese version of slice.
Didn't know that
Yeah. Companies in China has even try to patent Voron
I knew all the manufacturers would have bambu lab printers, hahaha.
Yeah, ok, but out in the open? Not even hiding them when the cameras are rolling? :)
Bambu has officially won. If you see in 7:54 in creality labs they have p1p printers. 😂
Oh wow. Great catch.😂
From what I've seen, that's not true. Creality has their own factories. I didnt get to tour Bambu's factories, but hopefully next time
@@LilApe I don’t think that’s true, but if you say so maybe you know something I don’t 🤗
i can think of so many redditors that would have been better for this tour.
Best 3D printed daddy! 😊
Wow, thanks!
So they're responsible for bed warp??!
They? Who? What?
Taking Creality at face value! Why don't you ask Naomi Wu what she thinks about working with Creality. It's time to stop giving coverage to these unethical companies.
Well, I guess we will see… they’ve been very great to work with so far and if they disappoint me then I will stop working with them… but so far they’ve listened to my feedback. They didn’t have to sit me down with two senior engineers… but they chose to. Maybe they’ve learned?
@@thenextlayer sounds like what a victim in an abusive relationship would say. "Give him another chance." Well based on what I've seen and experienced over the years, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Creality will never get my money ever again.
