Have an Ender 3 and have upgraded a few items such as the control board so it's basically an Ender 3 pro at this point. While frustrating at times, I've really enjoyed using it.
Ender 3 upgraded to linear rails, bigtree MB and BLTouch. Been absolutely reliable with no misprints other than operator error. Fusion 360 and Cura are an absolute delight to work with. I am retired and started in 3D printing 3 Years ago when I was 70. It's been an absolute blast.
My favorite one? My one and only - an Ender 3 V2! ;-) I've had it just over a year now and have really enjoyed learning about 3D printing with it! I would recommend it as a good starter model for those wanting to dip their foot in the 3D printing water.
You explain so well. I like how you summarized at the end. I wish we had a micro Center in Canada. I wonder if we have something similar where I could see a printer in action.
Good quality video. Great breakdown of the parts. Only thing I would have liked is for you to NOTE (just note) that there are different architectures of printers: Bowden Tube, Direct Drive, caesarean vs delta, etc. to give people some key words to know to look out for those things. Also, love Micro Center! Great sponsor.
Personally I own a Prusa Mk3S and would say it's the best 3D printer for anyone who has a lot of money and wants something that just works flawlessly out of the box. That or the prusa mini which is around $400usd. I also just got a Sidewinder X2 and am really liking it so far to print even bigger and faster.
Great introductory video on 3D printing basics! Love all of the various clips and footage that you added. (Where was this video when I was starting a year ago! ;-) I'm going to remember to send this link to friends who are interested as it gives such great introductory information about 3D printing.
i have mounted one yesterday but i feel like z-axes is hard to lift but ez to move it down is this a problem i have not test it yet i want to confirm before doing anything.
What brand/model is it? It depends on how the belts/lead screws are. In general, that doesn't sound like a problem. May be worth doing a 'dry run' and running some Gcode to move the Extruder head in the air (above the build platform). You can also check by moving the X/Y/Z via the printers onboard settings.
@@ProductDesignOnline i have test a gcode file that comes with printer and it is looking good 😊 thanks a lot for your work these days i will not go out of your channel it will be my home 🏡
I'm on the fence about getting a 3d printer for my home use, and possibly selling minis that I've printed. The thing that puts me off the most is the associated health risks that come with 3d printing, since I don't have a seperate room to use my printer in. I know most risks can be negated with the proper printer equipment (air filters, 3d print "tent" to prevent fumes, etc) but I'm looking for a bit more advice
Fdm printers seem too simple to handle comparing to my resin one. I had to choose it because it makes the layers very subtle, 0.05mm. But I plan to buy a fdm 3d printer to make some structural parts
I have a question can you scan the object, so that you can create a copy of it? I have a portable chair that one of the joints broke but the other side is still good is there a way to scan the good part to make a copy to replace the broken one? Thanks,
There are many ways to 3D scan. But for your chair part it would likely be better to 3D model it (or pay someone to) if you're not interested in learning. You can try scanning with a free phone app, but it may be hard to move around your chair - ua-cam.com/video/axdPIc6FqQU/v-deo.html
Eh, the steel rods isn't any problem whatsoever, it would just make it _worse_ to make them plastic rather than steel but it won't stop you from making a copy in the slightest. The actual issue is the electronics and motors, good luck 3d-printing those.
What's your favorite 3D printer (if you already have one)?
Prusa-Mini, and it's crap. Do not recommend. Getting an Ender next time.

@@brianspoelman1650 Agreed, those are wonderful starter printers, especially for the price point. Glad to hear you're enjoying yours :)
Microcenter sponsors things?! This is amazing xD

Very great call-out!
@@ProductDesignOnline Note: Caesarean was supposed to be Cartesian. Doh!
@@tomsko863 No worries, I knew what you meant :)
Post the "different architecture" video Tom. I'd like to watch that and learn more about it.

Great video. Nice, concise, and hits all the major stuff. Thanks!
dude that was an EPIC videooooo. hello poop face :). you are AWESOME!!! where can we find this store my brudda???!

Thank you for the short, sweet, understandable video - now I know 😊
The g-code (instructions) look like knitting instructions 😆
First comment. Love your content as always. Some of your videos are featured on our company website to help others get to designing products
If microcenter was available im Canada, i would check them out!
Best video made on 3D printing till date.
Thanks, Samir! I appreciate you watching :)
Can you also explain other types of 3d printers
Damon- It was great.
Ethan- I think its really cool.
Dylan-Funny
Stanley- XD LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now nice El
This was the best explanation on this topic. Even boneheads like me get it, yay!! Well done 👏✅ 🥳
Now you
Do you have an updated recommends list .... Bambu?
Yes! Definitely recommend the Bambu for anyone getting started (if it's in budget). Have some upcoming videos using the X1C :)
kinda sounds like its easier than you think

If we buy a 3D printer, then if we want to make any thing in it, do we have to do coding for that?
Great. Now I'm hungry!
Chocolate 3D printer? 😁
It was straight and to the point. Also Marcus says your voice sounds nice.
Too helpful as u explained in such a simplistic way anyone can understand 👍👍
This was so helpful to get the gist of what 3d printing terms mean. I can't wait to get started on my printer next month!
Fdm printers seem too simple to handle comparing to my resin one. I had to choose it because it makes the layers very subtle, 0.05mm. But I plan to buy a fdm 3d printer to make some structural parts
Definitely! Nice to not have to deal with the chemicals as well :) ☺️
what 3d program completely free?
Informative stuff my man. Thanks for posting!
for you its only 200$ but for me its 44,000 pkr
