02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMSir, do you have a recommendation for printers? Most of my ideal designs are weight bearing but not larger than 24"×24"×24.
@Level-up-your-life
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMSome things i realised
You want a printer that auto bed levels and calibrates itself
You want a printer with from factory all wifi and a camera that you can monitor from your phone
If you can afford it get a 300×300 bed or bigger like the ender3 v3 plus
Not all filaments are equal, best to start with your printers brand of filament and always have some on hand to test your printer if you have any issiues .if your factory filament prints bets on the crap you brought from Amazon is just old or not good
Buy a smart plus for your 3d printer so you can turn all the power off to it remotely completely seperate from the printer interface
Don’t go super super super cheap all those features you think you won’t need just result in headaches , getting a print you can happily send to the printer remotely and be comfortable it will just print is what a 3d printer was meant to be
Also don’t buy second hand , any printer over 2 years old from this comment is a headache
@Level-up-your-life
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMIf your new to 3d printing get the latest ender 3 v3 3d not the se .
It is set and forgot in 10
Mins
I had my printer setup , it auto leveller and calibrated itself and I printed a high speed bench’s in under 30 mins

02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMI made a model for mold to repair screw driver's handle. I show how to fix the handle with it here:
@AlphaOmegaKnight77658
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMWe have a Bambu Lab and I’ve been kind of intimidated on starting to use it. However, this video has given me confidence. You explained things so well, thank you so much. Can’t wait to start the hobby.

02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMI came for the Cybertruck 🎉
@memunamattia1580
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMSo how much does it cost to approximately to start up 3D printing?
@GoldenEdutcation
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMHey I'm a Beginner and I have some questions about 3D Printing… It would be great if you response to me… Here we go:
1. How long does it take to make a big Projekt(sth like a star wars charakter)?
2. Would you say it is kind of annoying that it takes that long for such projekts?
3. What would you do to make the creation prozess of the Project quicker?
Pls respond…
@perriens
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMGreat video. However, you showed the usb interface on the printer which is “USB-B” but referred to it as “USB-A”. Also, you mentioned that one should make sure the orientation of the item being printed limits the amount of supports that you need. At the end you showed Mario laying flat on the bed, but then as it was preparing to slice, etc. it was upright, which would mean it would have supports for the hands. I’m a little confused why it wouldn’t have just been laying flat on the ground where it wouldn’t need as many supports for the hands, etc.?
What a great video, I’ve subscribed!
@renechretienira
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMplease next make video on from unboxing to assembling i wanna see how it is assembled .thanks
@jamessepulveda5202
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMi printed with PLA for 3 months. Skipped PET and ABS went straight to nylon. now I only print with PLA CF and Hybrid Nylon like PA6-CF/GF
@nataliehowe6213
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMI need a specific piece of equipment to use when I am spinning yarn, but to buy it is expensive. There are files on Thingaverse, so I asked my oldest son, who is currently in school to be an engineer an uses the university facilities, if I could have his old Creality printer. I figure if he could learn when he was 14, I can learn now that I am 51. It's a hilarious reversal around here where we are giving him hand-me-down household items for his first apartment and he is giving me his old tech and filament. Seriously though, this is the best and easiest to understand video. I truly feel like I can get started now.

02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMWhat are the business prospects of 3D printing? I want to earn about $3k a month and willing to invest about $8k. Pl help
@NotOnTSWaveL
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMI have a question, new to the 3D printing world.
i am extremely interested and ready to buy a 3D printer the Bambu Lab P1S to be specific, is a computer required 100%? If yes does it have to be one with high end processing power?

02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMhelp. i cant get my object from blender to print on my qidi pro1 printer what am i doing wrong
@RetroFrito
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMI have several filament colors but only a few spools. I've had one bad experience where I removed a color from the spool and then had a very hard time getting it back on the spool again later because the filament unwound just enough to get too thick and the spool wouldn't close. Any tips for preventing this?

02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMif your starting out using the slicer is a must have you will fuck up your y axis switch
@stevebuchanan5773
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMGreat vid a friend gave me a creality cr10s pro v2 and am currenty mess with it. This is all new to me but should be fun
@Parker-d2f
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMI’ve watched this a few times and I love it. It makes me want a 3d printer Evan more, maybe someday I can get one.
@6panel300
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMThat was 31 minutes well spent watching this. I knew virtually nothing before but I now have a basic knowledge of 3D printing. Well made video explaining clearly in a non condescending way. I wish all youtubers were like this.
@BlueJeanF150
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMThanks for the video, very helpful for someone considering taking the plunge!

@dzjengis
02/19/2025 - 4:59 AMCan anybody tell me where I can find a guide to tell me how to properly make models suited for 3D printing and how to make sure I print them correctly
Also do I have to add the supports myself or will the printer do that for me?
