Making a (fake) Neon Sign for my (very real) YouTube Channel Name Change!
Вставка

- There's never a good time to change a channel name, so why not now?
I'll be transitioning the channel from the unpronounceable "Thomas Sanladerer" to the easy-to-remember "Made with Layers" name, and to celebrate the start of the journey, we're making an incredibly believable fake neon sign (with lots of trickery to make it look good)!

Your name has become iconic in this space, but Made with Layers is very good too
It's so long it just gets "..."ed , lol. I can't say I feel like that was a good move.
@@androiduberalles Get a bigger screen.
@@androiduberallesI'm curious what you mean by "..."ed
Would that be ellipsis-ed?
Or "Made with Layers"-ed?
Or is there something else?
@@freescape08 He means that Thomas' channel name is so long that, maybe due to his screen size/device hes using youtube from, the name "Thomas Sanladerer: Made with Layers" is showing shorter for him like "Thomas Sanladerer: Mad..."
With "...ed" he means like shorten-ed, ...-ed.
@@androiduberalles I reckon after some time the "Thomas Sanladerer:" part will be removed and "Made with Layers" will be the full name, so it will be short enough to fit on small screens after the transition period
Love this channel, "educational" is an honor you deserve. Most UA-cam channels are of dubious value to society.
Having followed your content from the beginning, I have every confidence the newest of new looks for the channel will work, and if you're doing things that interest you, it's going to show in the content. Yay for 450K!
Awesome to see you back from your summer pause and with great news, too!
The new channel name is a good one. Good idea to focus on a range of projects that appeal to you - your enthusiasm shines through!
Wow the results came out amazing ! Made with layers really pops when you plug it in!
When I 1st got into 3D printing your channel was one that I leaned on a lot and it continues to be. Thanks so much for all you've done for this community and I look forward to the new channel branding!
Nice sign and I agree with the channel name branding. Fits perfectly.
This channel has inspired me to take on many projects I never would have before. Your out of the box problem solving techniques are great!
The name change and logo are both wonderful.
Congrats, Tom! I've gleaned a lot of knowledge from your channel over the years. Thanks for that and keep it up! ⭐🙂👍
As always, things you say make sense Thomas! Looking forward to what’s to come, and very nice logo and full rebranding, it’s inspiring 🙌🤘
I love this change!
Being absolutely curious about what comes next and after that.
Love it!
I love your content. Been following along since I started in 3d printing, and you've been a huge help along the way. The rebrand makes sense, excited to see where you go from here.
I like the brand, and the sign is awesome. I find paint sprayers pretty intimidating, so it's great to see someone use them to good effect, and just try different things to see how they work.
Also really appreciate the attitude that it doesn't need to be perfect...a good reminder for those of us who can tend to let the lack of perfection keep us from just getting a project done.
Good luck with the new channel brand, and keep up the great work!
Getting better getting brighter. Always loved your contents.
17:36 this is a nice approach ! didn't expect that way for external squares
I love it. Putting the dot on the i in Dutch “het puntje op de i zetten” means putting in the finishing touches. And that was exactly what you were doing here
Love it! Cool project and the "rebrand" is...on brand!
How cool! Hope all goes well in this new phase of your channel! 🙌🏼😁
Sign looks amazing. Great work!
Keeeeeeeeeeewwwwl facelift !!! Congratulations to a real channel! :D
Great project, I love neon effects and i think this is fairly accurate to the old glass tubes
Looks awesome! Congrats on the rebrand! Makes sense.
Great project and very inspiring.
Excellent sign. Love the branding idea.
I can't believe it's been almost ten years! Glad to see you are doing more projects, I always loved those videos.
You mentioning the history of your channel reminded me that I built my first printer, following along with you (dolly) because you made it possible. Thank you. Still hanging out and enjoying everything you do. Have fun with the new name, as you have layers too.
Very nicely done project. Thank you.
Thank you for your videos! I have followed you for just a while now, and I have upgraded/optimized my own 3d-printing hobby/job a lot while watching your VERY informative videos. Keep up the good work dude, and cheers from Finland!!
This is a really good looking sign! I like the new name too, congrats on the change! 💙
Congratulations on a nice project and a nice branding effort. Really enjoy your channel and looking forward to what comes next.
Solid job. First video I'm seeing, but really enjoying it.
Love the synthwave and the rebrand so far!
Love the channel name and the "Made with Lovers" logo. Once you see it...
Nice job! Love the makita vacuum cleaner, i use it as part of a dust collection system.
This looks awesome!
Well made! And really good looking!
that looks amazing! Great job Thomas!
Congratulations Tom! Love the new name; can't wait to see what's next! -Courtney
Awesome and congrats on starting (finally?) doing the rename.
Love the channel name, and that sign is incredible!
The neon sign looks superb!
Good luck with the transition to Made with Layers - but please promise us that you'll keep wearing the crazy shirts!!!
I just subscribed to your channel because I watched this video and noticed that you fully explain the details and make it very easy to understand. I see too many youtube videos that seem to hurry through and leave out some much info. So great job and i look forwards to watching more of your videos.
That's gorgeous! Good luck with the re-brand!
Great work and I like it very much!
The sign looks great. Looking forward to the new "branded" projects.
Your opinion and knowledge are very important to the comunity
And this work just got perfect
Keep up the good work!
I look forward to people being confused when you tell them the new channel name:
"Maid with layers? What kind of website is that o_0?"
:D :P
Awesome sign, very nicely done🙌
Looks really cool👏👏👏
You've helped guide our whole journey with 3d printing. My wife and I have sought your videos for years for entertainment and ideas. It's so cool and satisfying seeing your channel grow to the point where you're (finally) considering branding. We wish you all the luck!
Thank you!
AWESOME project !! 👍👍 ... Great idea to use the lighter color to accentuate the 'glow" ... Well done !!!
This is awesome Thomas 😎 love to see evolution
I have seen the past videos where you talked about brand relabeling. I think your passion for what you do and the careful decision to finally do it is awesome. Good luck on the next step..
Awesome work!! It is good to go with what interest you, makes for better content in the end!
Thomas the Witcher will need only "organic" blue shirts to match the new logo. Thomas the Blue Witcher Made with Layers :) AWESOME. Thanks Thomas.
Great looking sign, and congrats on the new branding!
This looks amazing Thomas!
Ayyy Congrats, look forward to the more varied content!
Hey Tom, nice of you to post an update for us. Been a supporter for a while now, and glad to see this being implemented. Now post a much of aff links on a website. Rather have my purchase contributions going to you to help support your efforts.
Love the new channel name! And the “neon” design is super smart. The painted glow effect will be so much easier to avoid overexposing on camera than an actual bright glow. So many neon signs end up just looking like bright blobs 😁
Great video Tom...or should I say Made with Layers 😎Congrats on 450k!
Very nice job ! Made with care!
Looking forward to the new brand love the sign. And the last shirt
Thank you Tom, this channel was a big help to get me started with 3D printing (I think the e3d build guide was one of my first ones). And later on many useful information and entertainment originated from your videos :)
Thank you very much!
That looks fabulous. I’m impressed by your patience with the LED strips. I think I would have 3D printed some PETG diffusers and then backlit them.
I've been watching your vids for years and just realized i forgot to to subscribe a long time ago. Love your videos. Came across your channel when i got my first printer in 2021 and have loved your old and new content since then.
Congratulations on 450K subs and the new name! Thanks too, for what you do.
Congrats on the 450k subs. Quite an achievement. I really like the name change. I have often wondered why you didn't do this sooner. The sign turned out quite well. Keep up the good work Tom.
Really excited about this new direction
To this day, I still reference the video of the clip you included when it comes to calibrating your extruder. I love this channel - Thank you for everything, and congratulations on your success. Here's to the next chapter! :D
I like the logo! It looks really good too. That airbrushed effect really does trick the eye into seeing it as an older neon style light.
Good to see your new brand. ❤
Looks really good 👍🏼
That sign looks superb 👍
Very nice sign. A really like your new channelname. ❤️
Made with L4y3r5 😆 Congratulations, Thomas!
Great name choice!!!!!
Beautiful Job, I have learned much from you
That came out so great, love the name too 👍
It's kinda "nostalgic" to see old footage or even the stuff from 2 years ago. I do like that especially with that "chaos computer club"-ish music in the background!
Originally found you via some learning DVDs which name I already forgot...
To boldly go where the newest layers are made! Herzlichen Glücksstrumpf!
Well Done, Great work
IT'S PERFECT! ❤
Der neue Name ist sehr gut gewählt! Ich gratuliere auch zum coolen Eigenbau-Logo 🤩
Das ist dir wirklich gelungen, sieht hammermäßig aus!
Danke auch von mir für all deinen informativen und hilfreichen content!
Awesome project! 2 years in the making...
Looks great
Yay! Layers rock! 😁
First video I saw on your channel and I love it! Subscribed immediatly :) Now I wanna make one...
one of your best videos!
Congratulations on the number and great new name.
Good luck Tom!
Earth is made with layers. Your branding is spot on. 😁
Dude, Awesome sign !!! Subscribed
Congrats🎉
Great choice for the channel! Spot on about how 3d printer has changed, now 9 out of 10 stuff just works. And DO WHAT YOU LIKE, otherwise, what's the point! And when out of ideas, just ask the audience!
I had a thought that I might have tried for the gaps in the letters. Suppose you cut the letter to length with one extra 3cm segment. Then you could attach wires or some kind of pulling affordance to one end of the LEDs, then tug them out a bit from the other end and cut off the last segment of LEDs. That would leave you with the same number of LEDs you ultimately used, but with light pipe attached to make up the extra length. At that point you could try to cut the light pipe to the exact length you wanted and pull the LEDs back in to center them along the length. Lit up it probably wouldn't look much different (your end product was seriously beautiful) but when it's off you wouldn't notice the gaps as much. I'm not 100% sure that you could successfully pull that long a portion of LEDs--it would depend a lot on the properties of the light pipe. But it's something I would have wanted to try.
Your final product looks terrific, though! The gaps definitely don't read on camera when the strips are illuminated. So that probably would have been wasted work :)
Great job Mr. Layers!
Well, if it wasn't for you and your videos from 8 years or so. Then my RepRap adventure been short lived. So thanks for all tips and test you done.
And good luck with the rebranding!
All that matters is that you ollow your heart. The sign is cool and they way you built it will make it easy-ish if you revisit to add RGBWs.
It looks so good! Great work. =D
Like it, really effective. I'd have been a geek and made one of the sections blink like neons can do sometimes.
I was sort of surprised you didn't make a cnc router table to cut these out.
Keep up the good work, really enjoying your videos.
