    This is my favorite video of yours. Not because the topic is particularly interesting, but because of how you interact with your niece. Many others have already pointed it out, but the way you speak to her as an equal and empower her to be an active participant in the build, it’s truly a masterclass in teaching. Bravo, sir!

    Hey Ben, check out Prusa Slicer. I know I know. I myself took a very long time to try it out. I've been using S3D for years and mainly stuck with it because first I paid quite a lot for it and second I was being lazy or was slightly apprehensive of moving to something that at the time I thought looked unnecessarily complicated. Well when I finally gave it a try I was blown away. Super fast and easy to use and tons of features. It's also well documented with tons of videos covering pretty much all of the features. I should add that my prints look fantastic again and many of the issues I was having are gone. I don't know what S3D has been doing. Yeah I do, nothing that's what. Slicer is a very efficient and very tunable slicer. It's all I use now and I'm very happy with it. Cheers.

    My flashforge is an old workhorse. Many years ago I put the aftermarket gold metal extruders on it you could find on eBay and they’re excellent. I have so many spare parts for makerbot clones too so it makes me reluctant to get a new printer. The only issues I ever have anymore is I have to replace the stepper motor cable every several years because of all the movement. I still have my cupcake CNC fro way back when normal people didn’t know what a 3d printer was 😂
    But the Bamboo Carbon printer looks pretty awesome…

    I did not like this printer at all. The whole setting the z offset without it being centered on the plate and using a piece of paper was really frustrating. Even when you know what you're doing. I also constantly had an issue where it just wanted to forget about the z offset randomly that I set. It was constant releveling and setting the z offset. Just always doing that. And many other issues. It was weeks of frustration. I ended up returning it and getting the regular Anycubic Kobra with touch screen and its been nothing but flawless. For like 60$ more the regular one is WAY better.

      No, only need to adjust if you jostle the printer around, or, if you notice it not printing a nice thickness of line with good adhesion to the build plate. You can feel this with your finger, just slide it over the freshly laid down filament and feel for thickness...

    • @brianmi40
      @brianmi40 Рік тому

      Things to check:
      1. right temp for hotend? check lable on filament and start at least 5 degrees over the minimum temp indicated for the roll
      2. right bed temp? Look up the best bed temp to use with the TYPE of filament you're using, often around 50C for PLA, 70C for PETG, etc.
      3. Did you do the bed level procedure? If so then the issue is Z Offset, which is the other function in Bed Leveling. It sets the CLOSENESS to the print bed for the first layer. Start a print and immediately go to that menu, start increasing the "-" until you can see it sticking to the bed and can't just gently slide a finger over the trail of filament and have it MOVE easily. Make sure to save that new Z Offset and you're good to go.

    Let this video serve as a testimony to the tragic level of US school system. AFAIK since 60' the plan for converting to metric system was to teach in schools both, and slowly let the new generations tilt the population-wide preference to metric. However, this seems impossible if the new generations will never encounter metric system until their adulthood... 😓 I won't pitch you all the benefits of metric system, but the fact all the countries in the world (except like 3 3rd world countries and US) use it, should be motivation enough. I get, there is tons of machinery made with imperial units that needs spare parts and tools also in imperial, but there is also nothing stopping the industries to use metric system in new machines, except the lack of knowledge and/or motivation... Good luck, US of f**king A to keep up with the world 😁
