Artillery Hornet 3D Printer Live Unboxing and Test Print

[Music] [Music] hello i should be live and ready to go here uh let's see if everyone can hear me and whether all of my wireless audio issues have been sorted out for the beginning of this stream so i don't have to spend the first 10 minutes of messing with it so i'm going to let you all file in find your seats get comfortable if you bought a bread that if you bought a beverage please enjoy it with me and today as usual we are well maybe not as usual last time i was live we did a laser engraver this time we are back to 3d printing and i've got my first machine from artillery i got non-fam telling me that the audio and video is good thank you non-fam good to see you as always thanks for joining the live stream and we're going to just have anyone else want to confirm that the audio and video both look good i feel like i'm a little over saturated on the camera like i've got my iso turned up a little bit too high but that could just be the way it looks like on this monitor yeah it looks looks a little bit better over there um let's try this okay google turn off garage overhead light let's see what that does yeah that's that might be a little bit better i don't know i think that's going to make this dark when i go to do that okay google turn on garage overhead light so that's probably not going to be the best there we go so that's back all right so we're going to go with what i've got here welcome if you're new here this is curzy fabrications i primarily do 3d printing projects with 3d printing which are going to start showing up more and more on the channel i also take a look at any machine i can get my hands on that have to do with making whether it be laser engravers or cnc and i plan on doing more of that in the future as well so uh and if you're a regular thanks for coming back as always thanks for joining me here as we open things up uh we've got train fan wolf telling me he's got he or she has parts coming for their ender five plus that's awesome uh hey thomas yeah i've never seen you before a new moderator to the channel no no thomas has been here a while but uh sorry darkwing dad is joining us today hey hello darkwing dad good to see you um if you haven't checked out darkwing dad's channel please uh go look it up just google it or youtube search it and you'll find darkwing dad he also has a fantastic new discord server so check that out um anyway we got 3d jeff from indiana derek hi to everybody we're just letting people file in a little bit i know usually when we start these streams it starts out a little bit light and then you know by a few minutes in we have a kind of a quorum going and we can get started so i've got all of my cameras set up here i've got the new overhead camera i got the close-up camera any quick questions maybe before we get going with the unboxing anyone having any issues um any issues with their under five pluses i know that's what a lot of people come to my channel for any questions if not then we'll just get going like i said i was just hanging out a little bit i got my usual mug [Music] um could you please try doing a cold pool with this one i heard it's impossible i'll see if i have time to do that in this video i will see if i can if i can do it what's the price of the hornet that's a fantastic uh question so let's go ahead and do that let me grab me a seat here and let's go ahead and before we get started with the unboxing let's just go ahead to the website and take a look at what they've got going on on the website so they're running a deal right now on the hornet on the website let me go ahead let me minimize a couple of my windows here so that i have the right window up on the screen and i'm going to do a screen share so you should be seeing my screen now and this is the hornet excuse me the artillery website they're running an amazing deal right now they're saying this deal is good for the next seven days or so they're running a price on this printer for 199 now buying it direct and it is um shipping costs to if you're in the united states it's free shipping so this is 199 with free shipping to the united states um and they of course have it to other countries it can come from china they've got free shipping it looks like almost all over the world so take a look here depending on where you're at i know i get a lot of international viewers but fantastic price on this if you're looking for a first or second printer and let's take a look at the features while we're doing this and welcome to artillery this is the official store i also have a link in the description to the ally express store if you prefer to order from aliexpress rather than direct that's an affiliate link and the artillery official website which is a little bit cheaper is not a um an affiliate link so i will get at least as of the time of doing this live stream i'll be getting no commissions or anything on this i just wanted to do a live stream today and these guys sent me my first artillery so anyway 199 32-bit main board as you can see they have this i don't know if this is patented or not i don't know if they went to the trouble but they have this custom cable that runs over it carries the electricity it carries the filaments it care it carries everything from the main board to the hot end this is the bit of contention that people have with this printer so far that [Music] it makes it hard to work on because if you can't separate the filament path from the electronics path how do you service certain aspects of the hot end i think joel the 3d printing nerd mentioned that it was a real challenge so that's something to look out for here is the maintenance going to be difficult can you work around it and i don't know yet this is like i said this is my first time working on this one thing i really like about this printer uh is that they do have dual cooling i i i'm losing patience with companies that don't have some sort of dual airflow to the hot end i don't know why we want one side print cooling but anyway uh integrated structure let's see what we got sturdy frame cost effective it's definitely an inexpensive printer they say it's high precision tempered glass platform 32-bit silent board they do that cable harness is patent-pending according to this site right here let's see what else aluminum base dirty gantry uh i figured this was going to be a quick build you know i'm going to take this thing apart a little bit i always show you the the inside of it the electronics so uh this will obviously take a little bit more time because of that but they're showing extremely easy assembly on this so uh build volume is 220 220 250 i think you're a little height limited because of this connection here otherwise they'd be able to go up more but 250 is a little short on a printer like this 220 by 220 as most of you know is pretty standard hot end looks really nice the extruder looks just great trying to decide if it's even geared i can't really tell from here but this is what we were talking about the filament path is in the center of all of the pins for the electronics so those pins are obviously for your hot end for your fans all the things that need to go your thermistor all the things that need to go to the hot end itself and as they're showing you got a glass bed which is my favorite bed it's running a 350 watt power supply it's saying it's certified i don't know if we're going to be looking at a name brand supply or some generic supply uh 32-bit mainboard one thing i really like i like the way that they put together the the front of the chassis if you'll notice they actually took the time to make the sd card slot very easy to get to and the wheel is very convenient and it looks to also be backlit or or light piped let's see stepper motors belt tensioning so belt tensioning built in which is a really nice feature and all you know as and it comes with a nice tool kit all integrated in this little bag again here are the standard things you're going to find about most printers if you need to know the electrical requirements if you need to know what it prints they're saying illumi constructions aluminum abs i think that's about does it let's see what i've missed in the chat um thomas link to uh darkwing dad's youtube channel appreciate that thomas um right now i see it right now for 179 on amazon um i'm going to take a look at well let me not share the screen while i'm doing that just in case so let me go ahead they did want me to link to the official links but if someone in the chat is going to mention the amazon link i hate not to mention it as well that seems ridiculous so let me go ahead i'm not actually going to share the amazon page because it's my personal amazon page but i will go ahead and put it in the chat here so keep in mind that's one more place you can buy it it seems to be the absolute cheapest and fastest way you can get this if i were to order one now i would get it monday so if this video makes you want to purchase one or if you just want to click my link so that some of your soon purchases i get a little bit of credit for i appreciate that kind of thing but take a look amazon's a great place to buy it and there we go any questions before we move forward i will be paying attention but again leaving the links in the description to the ones that they requested but there's a link in the chat if you want to check it out on amazon all right so let's get going uh without further ado we got about almost 40 people watching right now according to my stream and let me bring up see if that does that yeah that does that okay so i will start out popping this box open we will get going and i guess i'll go and switch to the overhead shot there we go uh which way this way yeah i got it set up right there we go all right and luckily i didn't need my table extenders for this printer it's not one of the giant printers i've been building lately so wherever i want to throw that and as they showed in the description here is the awesome artillery bag that's going to have all of our tools in it yup we got extra wheels it does come with extra parts it's got extra wheels it's got extra end stops it's got our usb to sd card as well as our sd card itself it's got allen wrenches and wrenches and usb cords so i'm definitely hang on to that ellis is in the chat how you doing ellis uh what about noise in the prints because of the plastic parts creating vibrations i don't think the plastic is an essential element of the frame of the printer but we'll take a look at that so we got artillery hornet so this is going to be my instruction guide it's actually pretty thick compared to most guides that you get with printer so big big thank you to them for including that i've got a power cable here of course let's throw that on the ground with all the other ones i've got got a spool holder this is the piece of technology in question that is going to carry our filament through the ptfe tube as well as the electricity my concern with this is not only the fact that you know it's going to be harder to service this because of the interconnectedness of of this piece but what do you do when you've damaged the end of your ptfe tube like inevitably it's going to get damaged or like i don't know what the integration here is with the hot end so i do i do wonder how that's going to work there so uh they're telling me right here i've got a little sticker tell me that my hot ends in here oh there we go so here is the hot end let's pull that out this comes in a nice bag so all abs injection molded plastic here looks really nice the fans look really nice they are some small blower fans uh they've got a bunch of electronics here on the back let's see where's the best place to put that so yeah a lot of electronics i do like this board it's going to make it easy to replace these components if you need to because just little simple connections here if you want to replace them there's the connector standard little cooling fan here um it does i'm trying to decide here by looking in it if it goes all the if the ptfe goes all the way to the nozzle i may pull this nozzle out in a minute and find out because if so i think that's going to be a huge problem thomas is asking triple fans well you've got two cooling fans one for each side and then you have your hot end cooling fan so not all three of those are for park cooling these are parked cooling and this is hot and cooling plastic connectors fairly close to the hot end um my guess is that most electronics connectors are decently rated for temperature so as long as they did their homework and bought a plastic that can handle the heat then i'm not too worried about it plus there is an air gap between them so the amount of heat getting to them i think is going to be minimal um let's see we got this is probably the little triangle they include that tells me who inspected it and it can go in the garbage um and where are we attached okay i want to try to get this out of here okay so there is the gantry interesting little connector they have here for this piece uh apparently they thought this plastic connector i don't know i was going to say apparently they thought this plastic connector was easier than screwing in the lead screw i don't really know what the purpose of that was but it looks fine it's tight so it doesn't seem to really matter a whole lot there's the connector for the other end of our i don't know we need a name for it i'm sure it has a name [Music] filament path we'll just call it the filament path for now and you know that it also comes with electronics it is a single z lead screw on this side and the z-screw motor is mounted at the top i think that's one of the other things that's limiting the height of this printer as they integrated that into the top so now you have the space for the motor you have the space for the coupler you have this space and so you push down the maximum height of the printer to 250. more electronics here they have a nice ribbon connector here we'll come back to all of that probably as we get set up looks like i've got some questions um you can't heat up the hot end without having a special integrated cable plugged into the hot end so if you have a damaged ptf tv you're pretty much sunk i have to agree with you and that that's exactly what i was mentioning earlier so but we're going to keep going we're going to see how it does as long as they have that part and it's fairly cheap i think someone mentioned that it is not available so i don't know about that i will have to check it out it looks like the rest of this unit is all one piece and it is the rest of it is all one piece let me go ahead i'm going to move this to the side and make sure there's nothing lingering in the box it doesn't look like it so do that and get going all right now i can't leave the area anymore because i have thrown the box in my way but that's not a big deal i don't plan on going anywhere yet there is the printer i guess i should have just stayed um i don't know what i'm doing let's let's pick the right button there we go so here is the printer do not remove before finishing assembly they don't want you to damage the plate let's take a look at what we have here maybe the close-up camera might be better at this i'm not sure um let's go ahead and try that so here's the close-up a nice-looking printer i think everyone kind of enjoys the look of this printer i don't know if it's everyone's like favorite design but i think everyone kind of thinks it's cute a lot of molded plastic to make it look nice this would look good in most people's homes there is the front interface and i've got something popping okay that was just on my screen all right so as i was saying here's your sd card slot here is i'm going the wrong way here is the button i was talking about nice clicky button and uh znstop is back here usb port is off to the side here and as you can see here's the fan for the electronics cooling i do really see i like this strain relief on this cable you notice it has strain relief going into the housing itself it has a really big bulky strain relief right there i'm gonna have to move this around there we go uh big bulky strain relief right uh there on the bed so they got that right that looks really good um okay andrew was saying you can now get a spare one of those cables for 68 which okay a that's great i'm glad you can get one but b 68 that's like at current prices for this printer that's like a quarter of the price of the printer a little bit more than a quarter so anyway there we go let's go ahead take a look at the manual and see what it looks like uh hey how you doing jake from state farm and and thomas mentioned that yellow and black is a nice color combo and i agree uh whether you like bumble bee from um whether you like bumblebee from transformers or whether you think it looks like a um what is a caterpillar tractor uh let's see what's in here letter from artillery can we do that yeah there we go i know this isn't zoomed in i don't have full zoom control on this camera so but i think you'll kind of get what's in here accessory checklist uh let's just go through the assembly actually i want to see the electronics if it doesn't take a week to get into this case um let's see how do we get into it is it even reasonable to try i don't know there is a lot of plastic that's a little disconcerting how much plastic there is on this printer so here we can see that there is um here you can see that there this is where the main board is because you can actually see the heat sinks on the stepper drivers in here and there's a motor that they've given a little cooling to the power supply is not a name brand that i know of it's not a chang lang it is got some sort of z logo what you can see right there um what would it take to get in here there is well you know what i'm gonna try we're gonna do it we're gonna see because that's what i do so we're gonna grab it and see if we can get in here let's just do it oh okay maybe it won't be that hard let me grab a place to keep my screws and we're gonna give it a shot maybe they didn't make this hard as it looks are they all the same length at least that's good okay does that move just from that nope that was not enough to get it to move so we keep going let's turn it over so one thing i'm seeing it does look like the base of that plastic is one piece so how are they clamping that on there aha lookie there that is really nice okay number one i give them credit that is really cool that they went to the trouble three screws i'm in this that's actually easier than a lot of the other printers that i've taken apart and now we have full access to the printer so kudos to them for making that really really simple three screws and we're done so now let's take a look at what they've done inside so pretty nice main board let's see what is that that is an arm processor so it is a nice 32-bit processor it is a standard 8 12 864 display because you can tell there are two ribbon cables going to the display which is a dead giveaway that is just a marlin type display and if you've been following me on twitter then um you know my recent problems with displays that aren't 12864 display so kudos to them for just doing the marlin display which is still my favorite way to do this power supply looks good there are okay so straight out if you've been watching me you know i cannot find many printer manufacturers that will put any ferrules and there has not been a printer manufacturer that i can remember that has done all ferrules but i have found my first because all of these are crimped connectors for the power supply and they have ferruled every single thing coming into this board now along with that comes enough hot glue to choke a horse we have a ton of hot glue there's hot glue here hot glue on everything and the problem is i don't mind a little bit of hot glue but this would be this would be a lot of fun to try to get off i've heard um the alcohol will help you remove this i haven't tried that myself but um yeah this is um thomas had asked is this is injected molded yes it is injection molded so that's nice but anyway ferals throughout i really love it it's interesting there is an extra ah man i need a drink my mouth's getting dry one second um anyway so there is one more place for another stepper driver as well as a z2 spot here so if you want to find a way to add a second um z screw to this the board already supports it as you can see they've taken the usb off of here let me let me switch cameras real quick let's do that okay so as you can see they've actually taken the usb comes off of here goes out this way again the the wire management looks really really well done there's not a lot of extra wire it goes from point a to point b there are zip ties where there's needs to be zip ties um and you're asking about the power supply it is i don't know the brand because i'm not familiar with that symbol that i showed you a minute ago but it is a 360 watt power supply 24 volt and it looks really good so i'm going to snap that back down on there and um i was curious what it would take to get that lid off if i dare do i dare i think i do does it just snap off it looks like it slides i'm not going to go to a lot of trouble to get this off because i might have to remove it from the yeah i'm not going to do that let me see if i can see a little bit i think it's probably an average power supply it doesn't look super heavy in terms of components but it doesn't look like it was really skimped on either and then i come out of there where did that come out of came out of this front so here we go uh yeah someone's mentioning the underbed insulation and i give them credit i've seen some companies who apparently think it's a lot of trouble to put holes through the insulation and they didn't go to the trouble on this one you can see they actually did put holes through and we have insulation almost edge to edge on that printer so any questions before i close it up i want to make sure i answered everyone's questions while we're down here because that's why i do this again they put the fan in just about the best location that they possibly could the fan is blowing directly onto the stepper drivers now you could have put it in the bottom and it maybe it would have gotten more of them but at least there's going to be airflow going this way across the drivers um the drivers i don't think i'm going to have enough information here to tell you without taking off a heat sink and since these are glued on i don't want to damage the printer before i've tested it so they are silent drivers let me see if the page said one way or the other um let's see it is a 12864 display all right i'm looking [Music] hmm so they don't in their description say which drivers they're using so they're silent stuff or drivers they say that on the description but whether they're 2208 or 2209s or actually yeah i don't know i really don't know and i don't want to guess so i'm going to close it back up i think everyone's seen what they came here to see go ahead and this one snaps in looks like primarily on the back or does it just snap back down let's find out there we go just goes right back together so kudos to them for making a very serviceable printer now i know if i need to get another main board or anything like that for it it won't be a big pain to switch it out except for the amount of glue they put on everything so kind of a light stream today but i appreciate the 50 of you that have joined me for hanging out on this saturday here in georgia in the united states we are just about getting ready for school school starts back next week for my kids so this is the last uh weekend before school all right let's turn it back over and get it assembling so they've got these in here i don't know why they went to the trouble to put these little they don't put them on the other side but there we are okay so first thing we're going to do is just screw down the gantry so let's go and get that done front of the printer front of the printer that should be the front of the printer right looks pretty good all right they always act like like this is no big deal let me go and get my tools out uh well you know what we'll use the ones that it came with let's do that let's pull out the ones out of the bag all right again bag of goodies we've got again this is all of our extra parts here all of our extra parts usb cable um actually a really pretty nice uh uh spanner there i guess it's not technically a spanner maybe wrench we've got a piece of plastic i guess the wrench was in there and that's pretty much it so i'm gonna put the parts up now leave it all out for now clean up in a minute all right so we've got all of our usual wrenches we have a little piece of ptf e tube that's strange i can't say i remember a printer coming with a small piece of ptfe tube before all right now we're going to need to turn this over sideways and make sure that's the front these are thumb screws so it's pretty easy to get them started okay uh i need the right size wrench and i miss judged alright so there's the first one we're going to get it started yeah barticus that's exactly what i was wondering is that is that filament actually a a luke style uh hot end fix i'm not sure that's a that's a good question are they did they already go you know what they're probably going to screw this up they might need a little extra piece to save them when uh ultimately that ptfe tube gets damaged in some way very possible wondering if that's covered in the manual i will go all the way through the manual before we are done with this live stream yeah some people are saying it's an all metal hot end is there any backup of that is that from another stream or another channel or is that actually on their page somewhere that it's all metal because if so maybe i have a lot less to complain about maybe it's still just a maintenance issue about being able to unhook you know one thing and not another but um we'll get to it we'll get to it again this is my first time you know actually having an artillery printer i never got a sidewinder for tests they have offered me one but i'm trying to cut a little bit down on the reviews because there are some projects i want to do that everyone seems to be really excited about so a little bit less on the reviews they were gung-ho with this just being a live stream so i said send it send it on so that's it for that part um saying go ahead and hook up your filament spool holder so we're going to go ahead and do that i'm hearing i think people subscribing i appreciate that if you're not a subscriber please uh subscribe you know how youtube works that's great for me if you are not liked if you have not liked this video that would be awesome too i appreciate it and then this goes apparently on the same side as the end stop and it just pops in and does you know this kind of deal there we go where is that let me check something real fast um where is what i'm looking for let me give me a second guys i apologize for the oop that was not the plan i get it there we go trying to get the color right on here i've been happy with it the whole stream so let's see if that fixes it all right um let's see done the spool holder which they say goes in the front here and move it back just a little bit make it match their description uh then we are going to come around here and take this connection which is on the back for the end stop is that the end stop i just put this together backwards no and stops definitely in the front i probably should take it around the inside no they're saying this huh well the picture doesn't match up a whole lot here because they're actually it looks like it's literally telling me to take it underneath the extrusion which isn't a thing or was it was that something i was supposed to do did they literally want me to take that under the extrusion huh maybe they did maybe i've already screwed up the simplest instruction ever let's pull these out i don't know why they're on one side and not the other they're just gonna get in my way though and it doesn't make sense um no you couldn't have taken it under that's where the screw goes so anyway let me just take it around here run it tight i guess you actually want to see what i'm doing um maybe i'm not even am i doing that right no that's what i'm doing wrong i'm not that doesn't go there i'm not doing this right at all so i apologize the instructions aren't super clear but you have to have the right connector for sure so let's go ahead and show you the right way to do this okay there we go so what they want is this wire which is coming out of the main board area there we go they want that to be connected to the hot end and that makes a whole lot more sense that's just not what they show in the picture so that's why i was confused i didn't know where that wire was supposedly coming from so they want that hooked up this actually goes down to here and plugs in here and then this guy goes all the way up to this connector which you can't see because they're making my life difficult still didn't get it all right so this one comes all the way up here and plugs into there and i actually really like that that's a good connector that is a nice tight fit so big fan of that i think that looks great um yeah i dig all of that now what are we pretty much done already just do this last little cable here we're going to take this cable doesn't look like one end is different from the other okay connect is easy install the hot end with the screws provided let's take that hot end um and i think i said i was going to pull this apart a little bit because i did want to do that they did not include a wrench to get that nozzle off which i think is a little short sided since they included a wrench to do just about everything else let me step over here and grab my hot end wrench hopefully i have the right size let's see if not i'll just get a pair of pliers i'll do it the old-fashioned way yeah that fits alrighty so let's not make this convenient on me in any way okay there we go let's actually see is this all right so what are we looking at here there it is that's how they've gotten around you screwing up your nozzle so i'm glad i did this check this out they have actually put this black ptfe tube into the nozzle that you can see they've already put a piece of filament in here but that's the way they get around this so it basically has an integrated luke's hot end fix built into the design of their hot end so this should keep you from damaging that ptfe tube that comes with this other piece as you can see they just will mate up directly so that's what they've done and that's why they include this little black piece of ptfe tube as i said it's probably higher temp ptfe tube and will last longer so that's pretty awesome so i'm going to put that back in here hello tripod how you doing man thanks for joining us today and tighten that up all right so now we attach the hot end i'm actually going to keep those ties on for now and let's go ahead oh i can't keep the ties on because they're in the way so need snips snip that right off i'll leave the one on the other side for now and that's just going to go right there and it looks like i need three screws to hook it all up [Music] um make sure it says yep three screws and we'll just put this hot end on yeah that these uh allen wrenches could could be just a little bit longer kind of tight in here all right man come in come out i just throw a screw on the floor luckily i think it's an extra one but won't be too hard to find but yeah these uh allen wrenches are definitely a little short i'm actually gonna grab one of my tools because that's annoying which one do i need i think it's a two yeah so much faster okay and i'm apparently going to drop all the screws i can which is pretty normal all right tighten it up all right and once it's done connect the extruder cable tighten down the cable by turning the locking mechanism all right so moving on we're gonna put one here and it is keyed so i need to pay attention to where the key is that it goes right there hey pink mouse good to see you okay i'm going to make sure i get this good and tight go ahead and put down the other one uh thanks spartacus you're talking about the iron man screwdriver set that i was much uh lamented uh is that the one you're talking about the iron man set or are you talking about the weara set um hello hmm i'm gonna have to do my best pronouncing your name mama do know the w ones okay the w ones yeah these are all my my whereas screwdrivers but uh anyway hi mamadou welcome and thanks for joining us from senegal andrew liked the iron man set thank you i have it up on my desk upstairs it's my my you know other you set i'm not always in the garage and so it's nice to have those little integrated sets in one place when you just need some tools it's not my primary but it's it's it looks cool on a desk and it's functional there we go up it does include the wrench the wrench they say uh in step six boom is for the uh tightening of our eccentric nut and i'm actually pretty happy with the way that this came i'm going to loosen it just to be sure loosen it to the point where it's too loose i'm going to back it off until it starts moving okay that's just about right um if you're wondering about eccentric nuts because you're not familiar with them i like to back them off until basically you loosen it which will make the whole thing move and then once it's loose you tighten it just enough to where all the wheels are making contact when you spin them it should move the gantry that's how i that's how i handle that all right a little bit more beverage all right uh they tell us to go ahead and do the eccentric nuts also you know i like this instruction manual because not only do they cover like the wiring and usual stuff but they tell us you need to set this up you need to make sure that your printer is properly tensioned now of course they don't really explain what eccentric nuts are or how they work but they do tell you to check them so this would be the time you could go watch a youtube video or something so let me see am i happy with the way these are tightened now these are actually good too i'm not actually going to mess with those because that's going to be a pain and they are tight enough for definitely to do the job so good on them for proper calibration out of the box all right they have a leveling guide so let's go ahead this is a fantastic time to get the build plate uncovered and they do list this as a 110 volt printer because it's right there on the build plate you can see right there it says 110 volts there in the corner and has a little qc sticker pass so i'm going to pull that 110 off i don't need a sticker on my bed and that left a little bit of residue not going to be printing there to start off with i'll clean that later is this another dressed up e3 clone i actually would not put it that i think there's enough innovation in this printer or at least things that they've tried to integrate in innovate that i wouldn't call it just an e3 clone it's that design it's that format but i wouldn't go so far as to just call it a dressed up e3 they've done some some of their own work here um they're telling me to check the voltage yep the voltage is set for 115. so thanks for telling me to check there's a switch on the bottom and it is set for 115. all right so they're telling me uh to do some bed leveling as you can see this does not have any sort of auto leveling mechanism on it let's go ahead and do a first power up though i am turned off it did come on or i accidentally hit it but anyway plugged in nothing's smoking i'm going to go ahead and switch to that close-up shot and let's go down to the printer level there that's a nice shot very nice shot trying to get it all right let's go ahead i didn't make it easy to pull off the little sticker on the screen so i'm going to just level it for now i'll probably get that out later um let's cut it on let's cut it on one zip tie left okay let me cut off the last zip tie done zip tied thank you for that no i see you let's see all right the zip ties gone all right okay let's cut it on boom we got a little logo for artillery and it's marlin 2072 um can i give them another bit of credit here for leaving the marlin screen on there not only does it give marlon credit for being the creators of the uh the firmware but it also lets you know which version of marlin firmware you're running which is fantastic so another kudos to them um and a beautiful marlin display it's kind of small but it fits the overall design of it i can see it still maybe if you were you know had hard vision or something this would be difficult but it is bright it is contrasty i really really like that so the first thing that i'm going to actually follow their instructions obviously know how to heat up and level a bed but i want to follow their instructions as a new user so the first thing let's see to print good parts the build plate needs to be leveled and the nozzle needs to be about 0.1 millimeters from the build plate in all locations this is about the thickness of a piece of a4 paper you want to adjust the height of the build plate so that you can barely slide a paper between the nozzle and the build plate with only a little resistance select temperature all right so we're going to click the button go down to temperature and we're going to go down to preheat pla which is fantastic that they're letting you know that you should preheat and then preheat again all right so again kudos to them for telling us to preheat and not just preheat you know not just leveling cold um and then we're going to wait until it reaches its target temperature of course which i can actually watch here on my screen which is nice and then we're going to do a level corners which is part of it we're going to slide the paper around use the knobs under the bed we're going to go to next points it says you may want to repeat the steps five or six times for two to three minutes for better results so again kudos to them for letting you know that you get better results if you keep repeating the process uh and then when you start printing it lets you know that you might need to make some small adjustments fantastic uh then they talk about the slicing software let me go to the overhead here okay so there's a leveling instructions and they talk about the slicing software getting it all set up for your printer they tell you how to manually configure a printer although these days we almost always have that as part of cura uh more information about how to use the slicing software which i i just can't get enough of these actual how to use your printer instructions uh this is fantastic for a new user that might be uh not know anything about slicing or anything to actually have these instructions included is is a really nice touch and then we end up with instructions in other languages so they even went to the trouble to translate this book into several languages so that's that's great all right let's see where we are on the preheating uh we're just about there we're already there on the nozzle we're waiting on the bed which is normal i'm actually going to walk in front here and grab my feeler gauges because i'm not going to use a sheet of paper all right so we should be about ready to go let's take a look at this yep we are at 70 degrees let's get going let's zoom up a little bit so that you can see what i'm doing if you're new to 3d printing or new to bed leveling in general don't want to leave you out all right so now we're going to go here let's go to motion bed leveling level corners so we're homing but you can't see all of that there but i'm trying to show you the screen too i didn't check these wheels but the wheels on the sides are also pretty good i'm actually going to adjust one of my concentric nuts over on this side this can excuse me i always say concentric this eccentric nut needs a little bit of tightening here we go okay that's better just one of them was loose so took care of that so as i showed in my last video which was my ultimate bed leveling guide i like to use my smallest feeler gauge because that gets us closest to the bed and i actually think that that's the best way of doing this if i'm missing in the chat there's a lot of chat going on so if i'm missing you there please at me then i will notice it specifically directed towards me so just if you're looking for me directly alright so i'm gonna tighten this up again you i'm using a 0.04 millimeter gauge which is what i used in my video and i'm going to say next if you missed this video on bed leveling go check out the channel and all the links in that video will take you to like these gauges and stuff is the gantry level well i can check that in a minute as long as our bed is level to our gantry we should be fine but i will double check to see if it's level no i'm not gonna hold on alright let's do another one are the springs good and flat ones yes the springs are the nice yellow springs everybody loves so so anyway yeah there are these are the good springs okay let's go back around again how are we looking in the middle it's probably a little bit off right now because we are definitely going to need to go around again because of how much i had to raise this bed but i give them credit because by starting low you keep it from smashing into the build plate from the very beginning which is nice you know barticus is uh officially impressed because they thought of so much and i agree even if i mean we'll get to the bottom of everything but even if something's not perfect here i'm giving artillery credit for really giving it a lot of thought going into this machine okay around again okay let's see what the middle looks like now it's looking pretty good i want to go around one more time that's good that's good that's good and that's still a little far off trying to get this one right this last corner is kind of a little wonky i don't know why seems to be moving a lot i don't know what the deal with that is it's just this corner seems to be moving on me but i think it's all right yeah okay middle is good now all right so i'm not going to touch it looks good that looks really crooked and the camera shot so please excuse the camera let me go see does it look that crooked uh is my gantry that crooked all right i'm going to zoom out here let's do a little bit of inspection because it does look like the gantry is a little crooked so i'm going to grab a big ruler and let's find out now i'm obviously he's not starting at zero on this ruler but it doesn't matter because we're looking at relative height so i'm going to measure the gantry to the top extrusion and this is 33.8 ish and this is also it's a millimeter difference about like this sides about a meter lower than this side but that's not much i think our eyes can perceive it pretty well let me see doesn't move a whole lot this could still be tightened up this one is still loose over here so i'm going to go through this process one more time because i think that this is still loose so let's um say done here i'm going to actually move the access up some and try to do this tightening from about the center okay so let me tighten it up because i do think that that's that's probably what's going on here because these are loose um and the only place i can tighten this one is on this side so let me tighten this up that could be where our skew is coming from given the fact that it's a one-sided gantry meaning one lead screw this could be what we're dealing with now it's pretty tight let me see now now we're at 21.8 and this side is at 21.8 there we go that is what was going on we had not tightened or i had not tightened up my eccentric nut on this side and it was leading to the wobble because we didn't have two lead screws so let's go through bed leveling one more time we're still heated so not a big deal because now one side is going to be all from the other go back to leveling corners there we go let's do it again this shouldn't be too bad it should be close okay obviously i'm looking very awkwardly at this because of where it's sitting on the table see how the center is now all right i'm happy with that so we should be the camera is skewed really bad but now the printer should not be we're gonna double check it one more time so this side 33.8 this side 33.8 so that millimeter is now gone that we were concerned about so much better i think we are ready for a test print i guess i'm just going to leave it here because this is going to be the best shot to show you that test print let's see what's going to excuse me um all right can i get us a little bit lower i think that's as low as this camera is getting i think i'm okay with that um i can zoom in though but maybe we'll start out far let's start out far so that you can see what's going on on the menu let's see what it comes with and then we'll pick a filament based upon what test prints it comes with hopefully it comes with something fun let's see we are done with the leveling all right stick that in there it is a full-size sd card for people that like that better and i'm not particularly picky either way so it comes with a cube that's all it comes with is the cube so i guess we're going to start with the cube i feel like i'm behind on the chat because i just re-leveled my corners and now i'm just now just getting the chat so oh well okay uh cube what are we going to print it in one thing i do notice it didn't come with any filament which again if they've been listening to the community people don't care if it comes with filament that is something that people are tired of crap filament so what am i going to put in it um i have this really nice blue filament one how about that hopefully it's not too moist but i don't think it should be i'm gonna just do this we're gonna make a blue cube from filament one um this is funny because you have to find out where the filament goes in what is this oh that's where it is okay i'm gonna figure this out all right at least it didn't go anywhere it's not long enough yet i put that there to hold it excuse me while i step in front of the camera over here so i can figure out where the filament goes filament comes up it looks like so we're going to turn this over and let's go ahead and do a clip also didn't come with snips so usual things it didn't come with it didn't come with filament and it didn't come with any clippers so you will need to pick you up some snips of some sort and there's a little hole down here in the bottom that it looks like that goes through and there's a little thing to pull and there we go i see hopefully you're getting this and not just my back there we go and we're going to get it up there actually while i'm doing this let me go ahead and raise the z so that it's not going straight onto the bed here all right let's get some filament coming out of here oh it's coming out okay it started with black now we've got that blue coming out of there yep looks good i'm going to pull back on it just a little bit so we don't get any nozzle ooze and i can pull that off it's okay and i guess we're ready to start that print should already be heated i'm going to go to print from media and it just comes with a cube so we're going to go with the cube to start with great marlin menus everything i would expect and uh so far so good and we'll zoom in in a minute once it gets going kind of just want to watch the whole thing happen here you know what we'll look up the source code while we're waiting let me wait for this to go i bet you the source code i don't know if it's on would be on the sd card or if it's on their website so i'm going to go check their website real quick up there it goes we are going okay they're doing a purge line along the front which worked perfectly and we're going to print it's going to go pretty fast actually looks like a really really good first layer i'm really happy with that so let me bring that back up here so i can see and get you guys in on the first layer goodness let me turn up this camera a little bit looking pretty good i'm going to start lowering this camera even is it more i'm sorry excuse me been drinking do the glass beds require higher temps no you don't need higher temps on the glass bed um it's a little far away i think for this first layer but i'm going to let it go because it's sticking well i'm getting a little bit of um maybe a little too close actually one or the other because i'm getting a little bit of actually too much either that or it's slightly over extruding so bottom looks really good overall like i said either i got it a little too close or it's slightly over extruding uh we'll see how it looks after a little bit um so yeah do you want to you want to hear if it's quiet so the fans are already on so the park cooling fan is already on and i'm right next to it now i'm going to stop talking so here i am this is my head there is almost no sound coming from this printer that includes power supply part cooling no sound almost at all so that is really really quiet and i'm going to try to get you closer to that print because i'm not happy with that camera shot and we got a minute you know there we go see if that's better there we go that's a little bit better and see what's going on there surprised my depth of field isn't a little bit better i've got it set for a pretty wide depth of field but we're going we're going yeah so um the only thing i hear right now in my garage is my ac which is running in the corner i think it does a pretty good job of filtering that out on my mic the machine's one of the most quiet machines i've ever heard particularly given the fact that on top of everything else it's got dual cooling but technically if you're using dual cooling you should not need as high powerful fans because you're actually distributing it amongst two different fans so someone said i forgot who it was in the chat um that um they didn't think you could do a cold pool on this [Music] and i have to admit you couldn't do a cold pool like right at the nozzle where you would think to to normally do a cold pool you couldn't do one right there you would actually have to do one from this end from the from the end the other end where the extruder is you couldn't do a cold pull here unless you very quickly pulled this apart and did a cold pool what you might be able to do that might be possible for you to quickly snap that off and to do a cold pool otherwise you just do it through the entire connector i'm going to have to re-watch joel the 3d printing nerds video on that because i know he complained about it i know i've seen the video once i didn't have an artillery at the time so i i didn't you know commit a lot of that to memory but i'm curious to rewatch his video to know why it's not possible and maybe i will even take a look at that in the future now that we're getting a little bit further up you might want to see the infill so i'm going to move it around a little bit see if we can get some infill in there yeah so it's got a pretty tight infill it looks like but i don't think i've had a build that has gone easier has gone quicker has been easier to take a look at the electronics than this printer so you know some people wonder how much can you really get out of the unboxing video i think you learn about the printer when you unbox it particularly if you take it apart and take a look at the inside i think there's still quite a bit to to learn about the printer long-term testing is long-term testing and if you pay attention to most most folks on youtube long-term testing isn't really part of it you haven't tested a printer for months before you get out your review typically maybe you've tested it for a few weeks maybe a month [Music] kind of what i've been doing on the ender six so i've got the ender six review coming up but i've decided to do it differently and you people here on this video are going to be the first to really hear about it so i've decided i gave my ender 6 a lot of time hopefully not too much time i know the under 7's hot on the thing but i still i think i like the ender 6 better than the ender 7. i like the construction of the ender 6 better but the ender 6 isn't perfect it has some problems and but i've spent some long term testing on it to know whether i really like the machine because i was a bit hesitant with a machine like that um but the video that's going to come out on it is going to be much more comprehensive from a like i've been using it for a few months perspective and i think that's going to be nice um i saw one that they call pull down three so if you go 220 and then wait and unplug and hot in you should be able to insert yeah tom mentioned away in the chat about how we could do a cold pool so check that out if you're interested um but um yeah i don't think it's impossible i'm really warming up to this printer fast because i'm fairly shocked at how much i it just works out of the box how simple it is um i understand why artillery wanted to send it to me so thank you again to artillery for sending it my way i'm um i'm leaning you know i want to spend a couple months just printing on this one now because my out-of-box experience has been so positive i am going to take it like i said i want to take a look at some other reviewers and see what they thought about it that have spent more time on it than i have and then i'll spend my own time with it you can't have too much information the belts seem tight yeah that y belt actually could be tightened so i'll probably tighten the y belt looks like you can tighten it pretty easily up here in the front so if anything's off on the y that's what it is the y belt needs tightening a little bit i agree with you tripod on the price of that cable but given the fact that that is actually not running into the hot end you actually have this black ptfe tube that runs into the hot end i'm not nearly as worried about damaging that as i was before uh and andrew andrew says just get some cleaning filament it's been working really good for him so i'm going to get my chair so we are up to 73 people in the chat and 44 likes so it's a nice print it's interesting cube it's a rounded corner cube instead of a a square corner cube so what else is there to say about this printer um i mean if from a longevity standpoint and through maybe some clogs and through um you know a few fell prints i decide that it's still fairly easy to clean up and operate and use uh this might be one of the easiest printers that i could imagine recommending to someone um every machine it seems is going to come with some level of for lack of a better word danger and i think you know that's what thomas is bringing up there is that there are connectors and everything kind of close to your hot end that if you had a major disaster could get caked in filament um i'm gonna check out the website real quick uh 3d printer accessories so um while this prints if you'll excuse me i'm going to do a screen share real quick so look at what all you can get off of their website they have their 32-bit gen l boards available which are on sale because that 199 price is ridiculous anyway here is that 6865 for that plug that we've been talking about uh you can get new uh you can get ac heaters oh that's for the sidewinder okay here are the drivers for the uh 3d printers new wheels new motors uh i don't see a whole new hotend assembly at least not for this printer yet they've got them for the genius the sidewinder the genius so my guess is since they're already shipping them for these printers that if you know eventually they'll have the whole assembly for this you know in case someone that's not inclined or in case it's just such a disaster that you want to junk the whole hot end the way that the assembly is on this printer you could junk the hot end without ever taking it you know you don't have to even take off the gantry because the gantry is a separate part you don't have to replace the cable because the cable is a separate part so you junk the hot end spend possibly 50 on a new hot end assembly if you really you know if you thought it was that big of a disaster and you're back up and running for 50 bucks um not cheap but not the end of the world particularly when you're talking about getting a machine back up and running quickly so [Music] what max temps do they rate on the hot end that's a good question let me find out okay um let's see we've got the settings down here [Music] i don't see it i don't see a max temp let's see if it's in the manual so ben is saying you can get the entire hotend assembly from 3d jake international for 39 so yeah that's a pretty quick fix so if you go to that artillery page i was on there is a video that they have i'm sure it's a review from some maybe portuguese maybe spanish i'm not quite sure what language it is uh youtuber and that's what pops up as soon as you go to the webpage so you immediately get assaulted with something that you don't understand if that's not your native speaking language [Music] let's see if in the manual they have that maximum temp well i do not see a maximum temperature if i had to guess i would try not to run it over 145 and i would say 155 is the absolute maximum that's my opinion ben is saying 260 that's in the range i was talking about so that's all good it's actually printing pretty quick too so this is a lot of infill we're probably looking at at least what like 20 or 30 percent infill maybe um so it's quite a lot of infill but it's printing pretty quick i'm not complaining too much on this one [Laughter] hi bo uh hibotix is complaining about the video and i agree it's a bad form to start playing a video as soon as you go to a page but there it is that's what they've done um so now we've talked a lot about the printer you've seen me take it apart and put it back together we're going to see the test print here when it's done we're probably about halfway done what questions or concerns do you still have about the printer that you'd like me to see if i can answer or just we can just sit here and talk about it um one thing i have to say let me maybe i'll just do an overhead shot here um this is nice i mean from an everyday printing perspective this is the cleanest you could possibly get this obviously it's not much worse to have two lines here you know a bundle of wires and then your ptfe tube but this is as clean as this gets this looks really nice nothing's getting caught up it make given the fact that it's ptfe in the middle it's got rubber on the outside it maintains its parabolic shape really well which is a really nice printer path a filament path for that um tom wants me to just see what i can get the max temperature up to and i can do that that's definitely doable but again [Music] it does look like in some way and i'm not exactly sure how to do this i'll have to do a little bit of research it does look like they're probably set up for um for a bl touch or some sort of probe if you want it um i'm wondering if that's on their website at all if i go to accessories i don't see any sort of bed leveler that they have in their store because right here there's a z probe pen so you can see right here a little bit there's actually a a header for a z probe uh and i noticed that there is z bed leveling in the menus um so it is set up for a bl touch or some other sort of probe unfortunately i don't know where that would go with because there's no real i don't see a way to mount it easily so i don't know if where that would exactly go but it looks like they're set up um hybotix wants to know it can the ptfe tube be replaced not the one inside the tube i did try to push on it a little bit it looks integrated uh permanently mechanically but that's why it comes with the little ptfe tube inserts um is so that hopefully you won't have to replace that ptfe tube because it's not actually going all the way to the hot end i still can't get over how quiet the machine is with all those fans running most companies can't figure out how to get their parts cooling fan cool enough and i have to say it actually feels like what they've done is made an exhaust fan so they're pulling the heat out of the cooling out of the area with the stepper drivers rather than blowing over the stepper drivers so um apparently they're not having any problems there's a lot of these printers out there so 200 bucks right now less than that on amazon um space invaders i haven't actually looked at where those are you'll have to type type up where you find those in the um in in the chat tell me where i find those games and i'll go looking for them um oh yeah the other thing we were looking for we went looking for where their downloads are can i download the firmware look at this there's the genius source there is the sidewinder x worm one source um there's the hornet i'm not seeing the hornet source yet oh wow okay it takes you saying it didn't go to the hornet source it takes you to the github so artillery actually has uh their own github artillery 3d github and has hornet firmware right there so if you wanted the source there it is fan freaking tastic that's awesome so you want to build it yourself go for it that makes me really happy and then if you need the hornet memories it doesn't look like they've released a new hornet firmware at least not since it was released because this only takes you to the github so i don't think they've got the binary available and i'm guessing that's just because they haven't released a new version isn't the glass permanently attached to this uh yeah so they didn't go with clips because it's glass they just did some sort of thermal tape or something um to to connect the two together some high temp tape or some thermal tape so you don't even have to worry about clips getting in the way or anything i've seen plenty of printers that came like this you may worry that if you crack the bed then you're out of luck sure um but there are some there are some positives to not having the the glass come off uh rushmere though is mentioning that they would prefer the um the flex plate um so while it would not be ideal in fact i wouldn't recommend it and i have to be honest but you could put a flex plate on top of this um so loan tech saying that they would have preferred if the get repo was a proper fork um yeah i don't always expect though that everyone knows how to use github correctly so maybe they didn't understand that that was how you were supposed to do it two people have forked this branch which is interesting i'm not going to share all of this information with you so let me log into my git repo real quick not that do you much good without two-factor authentication um back to where was i okay so back into the fork i wanted to see who had forked it oh no that's how to fork i want to know who had forked so there's two forks two other developers have forked their version to play with which is what i would do if i wanted to play with their version i would love to do a diff between this one and the other one but i guess i'd have to do that locally if you're not familiar a diff is just getting the differences between two source trees there we go let's take a look at how it's looking close up since that's blocking it there we go it is already doing some sort of top layer i think it's probably doing some sort of artillery logo on top and so this is the embossed artillery logo at the top of it ah okay ecolex added baby stepping or adjusted it at least okay long tack's going through the trees long tech wants to know what they changed i didn't see baby stepping i don't think let me see does it have baby stuffing let me look at the menu real fast can't go all the way down to it so okay um let's go down to tune see if there's baby stepping in this speed bed z bed z maybe i haven't heard it called that yeah they have baby stepping it's already in here so um baby stepping's right there already in here if you need it that was a good thing to check i'm glad you mentioned it while we were doing that other stuff oh you couldn't see any of that because my hand was in the way my apologies but yeah baby stepping is in the menu oh this is like i said i um this is a really smooth live stream i'm i'm really impressed so far um to your point loan tech nothing significantly changes in those two forks i have to say i i don't see a whole lot missing in the firmware as of right now i think the abs presets nice if you want to add a petg preset that would be nice but those are just kind of niceties with baby stepping already being in the firmware i don't know you know what you're missing um be curious and i know you're not gonna be able to see this either be curious to know if i don't know if it was in 207 yet but at one point in time i can't even check it right now because we are in print mode but at one point in time pid tuning was added to the menu system i actually do like that on my ender 5 plus now because it makes it really easy to pit tune without having to get to the console um question was i hallucinating or did i see a temp overshoot on the hot end while the print was warming up i would have to go back and watch i wasn't watching probably as closely as you were uh 3d jeff asked or says nap time starting about 10 minutes ago dozing in my chair gonna lay down nothing personal just beautiful weather here fantastic jeff you have a terrific afternoon i think we've seen good things from this printer so far so you go take it easy uh lone tech i think someone earlier lone tech is agreeing with eubarticus that he saw the same thing um i think someone mentioned we might need to do a pit tune on it that's pretty easy to do and as we can see even if that's the case it's not greatly affecting our print quality here i don't think we'll find out when we pull it off let's see we are printing at just for the record we are printing at 210 and 60. it does look like our temps are staying pretty close just you know 208 209 so you could you could i'll go ahead and zoom out in case you want to see it in case you want to watch the temps on it which i think is a perfectly fine hobby there you go that looks pretty good so you can watch it there a little south of 210 actually but they're not fluctuating terribly i'm seeing it go from about 2 8 to 2 11. and we are 32 minutes into this print and just a little bit more to go again they added that artillery logo to the top of this cube i will be curious to pull out the measure measurements on this cube we'll see how good it looks um so anyone after this little video considering picking one up possibly given the pretty low price tag for for this printer anyone thinking about it as a second third printer 15th printer however many you have and we are done now i just need to wait long enough for me to be able to get it off of this print bed because since it's glass do you think we're over extruding a little bit i think we need to adjust the flow or the steps per millimeter on this print um because i've got a little bit of surface noise on this yes yes non-fam's absolutely right a silicone sock which this is missing would go a long way to keeping those prints more stable i completely agree surprised it didn't ship with one i don't know many printers these days that don't ship with a silicone sock oh check max temp on the screen while we're waiting okay can i get my arm out of the way far enough okay so if i wanted to raise the temp as far as it would go what will let me do 260. that's exactly what we would expect so 260 on the nozzle is exactly what we would expect for one with ptfe tube and i wouldn't run it up to 260. like i said my max temp would probably be around the 245 mark but i think that's good tom said last call to smash the like button yep because we got 63 people in and 45 likes so if you haven't done that yet that'll help and we're still going to have to wait a minute to get this print off because we are here i'm going to i'm going to help it it's going to help it so here's the secret weapon when it comes to cooling things down faster so if i can watch this we are at 53. now this doesn't add any cold this is just air [Music] yeah the um i was asked tom asks is the surface textured yes the surface is that um what's that i forgot what it's called but it's that yes it's that black painted texture that's why it's not coming off where are we at now 51 i don't know how much this is helping with that insulation on there it's going to take longer to cool down so 3d printing in the cave asks does the bed not come off nope the bed does not come off it is attached it wouldn't matter if it came off a whole lot i mean sure you could help it cool down a little bit faster that way but i really don't want to put water on a glass bed [Music] mainly because i don't want to crack it you cool down a glass bed too fast that's why i'm using uncooled air i don't want to crack the bed uh we're already down to 46 it shouldn't be much longer i think when we get down close to 40 i'll go get a scraper just to give it a little nudge although i hate to to mess up this beautiful bed because it's really nice yeah it would help the bed cool faster i agree if i could do that and you know so it didn't come with two tools it didn't come with the snips it also didn't come with a scraper so i think they saved a few bucks by not including the tools that maybe people say they already have i think given the sort of first time printer aesthetic and features of this printer that it should have come with both of those things even if it costs 10 more dollars at them which it doesn't um there you go nothing to it not a big deal all right so is my camera going to cooperate and give me really good pretty print uh yeah views of this print let's find out all right boom let me zoom in there we go so as you see i i said that there's a little bit of over extrusion here you can see it on this corner here looks like it's putting out a little too much filament so that maybe steps four millimeter you can probably compensate with flow either way um sides of the print really clean there's a little i mean you can tell that there are layer lines but they're not they're not drastic by any means that first layer went down really well nice smooth layer again i said it when we started a little bit of over extrusion but not much so there we are now i'm going to do a little measurement on it let's find out how the measurements look yeah it prints great out of the box um no complaints here i'm going to grab my [Music] micrometer i would grab my uh calipers but my calipers are upstairs i've been designing something so let's go ahead just use the micrometer and let's find out how big this cube's supposed to be looks like a 20 by 20 probably okay it is not 20 to 25 or 30. it is not 25. it's not actually going to fit my micrometer no it doesn't actually fit the micrometer so oh well let's go ahead and just do height then i could go get my calipers it's probably not worth it though let's figure out how it does on height yeah height doesn't make any sense because the height isn't right i don't know what the height is supposed to be i'd have to open it inside my height measures 18.35 millimeters which again it's not a cube so there's no telling what it was supposed to be so oh well i think we are about done and this is absolutely my fastest live stream ever and i am going to give the all the props to that to um artillery on this one because that was easy that was a great first print and i'm i'm actually a little i'm probably a little more than impressed could there be some mechanical issues and some maintenance issues with this tube yes does the tube provide a healthy amount of cleanliness and just lack of of worry and maintenance absolutely as well so let's see um any other questions before i wrap this up a two-hour stream it is a nice machine from this initial print i would i would definitely recommend this as a as a first machine obviously no machine machine's going to be perfect this so far just out of the box experience is better than any machine that i've used before it's better than an ender 3 of any variety that i've tested personally and i mean if you look at it it's going to have a lot of the same issues in terms of the mechanical aspect because uses the same rollers has pretty much the same features but it looks like artillery put a lot of thought into a lot of comparts excuse me a lot of parts of this printer the injection molding is well done they've made it easy to get to my components which you guys saw earlier in the stream it was fantastic getting into this popping it open it took three screws and like five minutes if probably less than that to get into if i was going to upgrade anything it would be dual z screw because as we saw it took the proper tensioning of the wheels to really get the uh x gantry trammed correctly bed leveling was as easy as on any manual bed leveling printer i'm probably going to throw this printer into regular rotation now after i do some basic tuning with it um because i want to see if i print with it for the next month does it still print fantastic in a month as it does right right now because again impressed with it i want to hook up octoprint probably to it so i can easily throw print jobs to it but let me see um babadoo says the bowdoin tube seems fine and i agree cold pools are going to be harder but not like i think i could find another way to do it if you're concerned about that check out joel's video i don't know if i remember seeing it but i again don't remember exactly what his problems were but i see ways of doing cold pools whether it be just doing a long cold pool or whether doing a cold pool where you monitor the temperature when it gets the right temperature pop this off and pull out the filament something like that all of that should be possible still just maybe a little bit more trouble than it would normally be but again special thanks to artillery for providing this i did not promise them a full review in fact i only promised them an unboxing they were okay with that and i think i know why they were okay with that because this unboxing [Music] was the easiest one i've done so far and i'm overall really impressed with the initial impressions and this little guy is it's cute it is a bumblebee of a printer or if you throw um if you were to throw a caterpillar logo on the front it would be a nice industrial printer so thanks lone tech uh for dropping by is it easily customizable like the enders i think that's a that's a good point to bring up mama do when you're looking at a printer like this i see less customization because this is meant to be kind of whole out of the box it's not really meant to be a printer that you have to invest a lot of upgrading into when i see a printer like this i don't really want to touch it a whole lot because it looks finished and i don't mean just aesthetically finished i mean mechanically finished it is what it is if i was going to do an upgrade like i said i would probably try to figure out a way to do a second z-screw it doesn't need better cooling it doesn't need a new motherboard it doesn't need a new display there's not a whole lot i would do to it an all-metal hotend would be nice if i wanted to print some different filaments on it but i don't think you're going to buy this kind of printer if you plan on printing peek with it or anything so how do i pronounce how does it come that you pronounce my name so well i try i try that's why i care exactly exactly barticus brings it up perfectly he says enders you need to customize because they have just to fix all the cheap problems and i agree and that's what we're looking at here this is a more polished product than an ender so i'm going to spend time on this because i'm going if i'm going to recommend this as people's first printer i'm going to have to mean it so i'm going to spend a month on it see if i think that it's the best first printer ever and um we'll go from there so thank you all for joining me today um it's been a blast it's been a great to do a fun two-hour stream with you um if you are starting school next week or if you have kids starting school next week or very soon good luck to everyone be safe out there i know lots going on with pandemic right now so be careful be safe and i wish you all the best and i will see you next time thanks for watching where's the button there's the button you
