Elegoo Neptune 2 3D Printer - Build & Test - Chris's Basement

[Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] okay [Music] [Music] uh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] and i'm here are we ready for this i don't know if i'm ready for this but we'll give it a go how is everyone kat is here hello cats i haven't talked to you in a while so is ron at canadian maker project i haven't talked to ron in a minute either non-fam what is up dom is here hello uh so i've had some coffee hank and i just got done sharing some cold pizza from yesterday so we're in good shape this has been an interesting week to say the least uh all kinds of stuff happened keith from st joe vintage pcs here hello um so if you tuned in last week same bat time same bat channel um we did the mingda magician and in all fairness it's a pre-release 3d printer it's not for sale they are going to set up a kickstarter for it okay it is made out of injection molded plastic you can go back and watch that stream if you like whatever you want to do with that it will remain on youtube um it we got it to print um it leveled it did all the things that it needed to do and the print wasn't too bad uh honestly that vinci looks pretty good if you check it out at the end of the stream well an unfortunate chain of events happened after that stream um the stream was viewed by the company and a member of that company decided to send me an email which was very nice by the way it was not you know there was no threatening or anything like that they just asked if i would please take the video down because it did not put their product in a good light you know and that's of a that request was fair enough um of course i don't take videos down that's not what i do uh once it's up it's up and if you don't want anybody to see the product before it's released then don't send it to me um but they were very nice about it uh the but that that email that i received i probably should have never received it i think it was a decision made by someone on their own that probably wasn't in the best interest of the company quite frankly if they wouldn't have sent anything out at all this would have just gone nowhere it would have blown over nobody probably ever known it except a couple of hundred people that watch that stream but then the next move that they made was to send an email to joel telling asking him what they should do about my live stream because it doesn't put their product in a very good light well that's the that joel being the person that he is i do know joel i've met him several times we talk occasionally i would consider him a friend of mine knowing him uh that didn't set very well and he as you know he has a lot more followers and subscribers than i do so that didn't turn out well then after that naomi wu got involved and this all happened on twitter other you can go back and see all this unfold if you'd like uh at chrisriley3d is what i am on twitter naomi wu got involved and she has like millions of followers so that didn't go well um and then angus over at maker's muse got involved and he actually made a whole video on how these companies treat some folks and all of this has been cleared up uh minda has apologized to me they've put out statements publicly um i even got a direct email from the person that i was communicating with at mingda they they apologized to me personally mistakes were made i get it uh but i'll i'll end with my original statement it was a really interesting week let's put it that way so that's not going to happen today that's not going to happen today um there's a ton of people in chat and i appreciate you all being here i know i missed some stuff now this sprinter we're going to move on this is the lagoon neptune 2. uh elego has reached out to me several times over the years wanting to know if i would like to check out their stuff i don't do sla 3d printing just not something i enjoy it's kind of a mess but they are known for mars mars 2 the the different more affordable sla machines well they also have this one now i'm not going to tell you that this printer is any different than most of the printers that you see coming out on the market i don't know anything about it that's what we're going to find out today but what i can tell you is this is the lowest cost one with the same sets of features that you see on a lot of machines that i have seen recently i'm not even sure how they build these for what they charge these are only 160 bucks so i thought it was worth our time to check it out figure out maybe why it cost 160 and just see the overall quality so that's how this one came about i thought it was kind of interesting at the price point but it's going to be very similar to a lot of the printers that you've seen before i'm sure so that's what we're going to do today we'll get this open we will check it out and hopefully get out a good print again uh benjamin ford hello cat wants some more sla printers we can do that a bit laggy is it laggy today i don't i saw there were a few dropped frames a little bit ago hopefully that clears up um tom llama is here steven is here awesome so let's see what we got here let's see how high will this one go i'll do my best to show you kind of what's in here and let's get to it so we're good now awesome um we'll let that come through that'll test our our text-to-speech at this price it's cheaper than a gtech i3 pro b yes it is thank you very much for the 20 derrick you are absolutely right it is cheaper than a gtech pro b uh and those owners of the gtech pro b know exactly what we are talking about i happen to be one of them um tom said that some streams you've watched today have been bouncing i kind of wonder if you know sunday is a very popular i.t maintenance day i kind of wonder if sunday is probably the worst day to stream because of that um who knows what their maintenance window actually is a large organization like that they have a pretty hefty user manual it does list out all the parts it looks pretty good it appears to have filament run out alrighty they do have branded extrusion you probably want to actually see that there you go it does have a touch screen the bed is removable it has clips on it the hot end is pretty much just a creality clone it looks exactly the same as well as the part fan and the hot end fan it is almost identical which is what i was expecting power cord x carriage with the filament center all your tools spool holder on my second neptune too the first one was no bueno elegu was good about replacing it though excellent thank you very much for the five andrew that is great to hear that they are working with people um you know how these things go oh i like the the psu it's black instead of chrome and it's set to 230 so be aware of that i do like to hear that they're working with folks that doesn't happen at every company so that that is valuable in itself knowing that somebody actually worked with you on it there is a screw missing but it's right here no big deal cats thank you very much for the 20 that is much appreciated i did set up nightbot again today uh so it will give you some information let's see how it actually reads that [Music] just wanted to type this and hear it it read it a lot better than i thought it was going to 3d printing in the cave thank you very much for the 20 that was much appreciated hi chris your live streams are the best let's test text to speech with some swiss words gruesy chu chechishley uf weiter look at that's hello cookie box and goodbye in english cold sweat smile hello cookie box uh thank you very much for the 20 that's much appreciated and the funny things that text to speech will say that's great thank you cat i appreciate that uh somebody said they bought a printer at walmart walmart is selling 3d printers for 142 bucks that's news to me that's pretty awesome if they are though i don't know how it is all over the world uh but here in the states if you live in the midwest like i do i'm almost exactly in the middle of the country in a lot of smaller towns walmart is all they have so that would be a pretty cool notion if uh there were 3d printers at walmart stores that's pretty cool [Applause] how is the z-rod it's got a little chug to it it's got just a little bit of wobble in there it's towards the top [Applause] not the worst one i've ever seen though fuentia chris note emotiona's mucho por el numero sun solo 25 centavos disappointed uh the different languages it just makes it worth it thank you very much for the 50 i appreciate that uh that's awesome it won't roll off the desk there you go it'll keep it put okay what kind of hardware we got here james is streaming 100 walmart printer tomorrow afternoon excellent is that james at rushmeier 3d is that the james we're talking about i would actually like to see that i was thinking about 3d printers imagine that um this is probably the second or third maybe most affordable 3d printer that we've ever done do you remember the eye maker start we did that in like 2017 it was a little mini acrylic it was like a miniature a8 basically but those were 99 bucks um i don't know whatever happened to that project the printer was not very good but um it was affordable i have to say that it was affordable i believe my buddy 3d maker kid had uh do you want you want the sample uh i believe he had a eye maker eye maker start yes i believe he had one all right what are we doing looks so small it does kind of look small it is a 222 2250 machine by the way so this one does have the typical i mean it's it's pretty much your standard build chris are you my sussy baca i don't know what that is but sure thank you very much for the for the two all right pretty much the same stuff you got some m5 by 45s that bolt through the bottom nothing real creative here they're not reinventing the wheel they're just trying to put together a printer that's decent at low cost which i respect that but that's uh not a bad way to go they have little protectors that's kind of interesting that that's the stuff i like about the the printers is what little things that they've added they have little protectors on the ends of the screws for the bed wheels just little pieces of silicone or whatever that's kind of creative we'll give it that you don't want to hurt your fingers we got this one how's power supply line up all right it's the little things so have you considered building a voron thank you very much steve for the five i have considered building a voron i have some parts to build one haven't got around to it yet there's a lot of voron builds out there the i would say that we are somewhat saturated with voron builds they're they're they look good uh but i am i've got some other things that are ahead of that so we'll see if we get to voron we'll see leftover handle dip that's absolutely probably what happened that is true mike that that's a very common thing you'll see at least one of the bed knobs just loose in the box so there you go that's a nice little add-on all right well let that level itself before i tighten that up what do we have on this side what do they intend your they want your end stop in the fronts and your motors in the backs party in the back business in the front tom the maker viking is here what's up tom any bets sure it's going to print from the start we got to stay positive right we gotta stay positive so outside so i said this has been an interesting week it wasn't just it was all downhill from sunday afternoon i got to tell you that uh that's not true there was some pretty actually some pretty interesting things that happened so let's talk about wrestling shall we so growing up a kid in the 80s wrestling was where it was at right hulk hogan macho man andre the giant i mean wrestling was the coolest thing ever when i was like five or six years old well during covid and you know my wife watched wrestling when she was a kid during covid my wife started watching wrestling again and uh it's a lot different now than it was when i was a kid you know they they have now i mean there's like two storylines it's a soap opera basically right there's a couple of different story lines going on uh i don't watch much of it but i do occasionally see what's going on right i don't i'm i'm not as up on it as she is uh but you know there's all kind nowadays there's all kinds of women wrestlers there's there's all types of shenanigans that weren't there when i was a kid well um i don't know if anybody watches wrestling now with their kids or anything like that but wwe was in kansas city on monday and my wife really wanted to go see it so i went with her to see wwe and let me tell you that was an experience uh you we if you watch it you can actually see me on tv they like when the wrestlers were coming out i was standing like right over here in the crowd you can actually see me on tv so you know they asked me to wrestle i told them i was retired uh but uh it was an experience ladies and gentlemen i have to tell you that mean gene that's right you watch the old live streams when you're taking with your prusa awesome yeah i mean you know you got to stay calm but you know on the on that side of things though we've done so many of these now there's nothing to get upset about it's fine and i don't think companies should get upset either it's okay give it another try basically performance art i would agree with that it's um it's an experience so so that happened on monday uh probably gonna have to have an actual rinse for that do they give you ball ended wrenches they do excellent i'm famous now yes i am finally i'm waiting for this to come up come on stream what is this one stream labs you can do it read it coolest guys on live streams you you've ever seen well i appreciate that why didn't he read gary's thing there we go oh wwf back in the day roddy piper andre the giantan i remember back in the day saturday main event that's right ron thank you very much for the five i don't know why it didn't read gary's uh gary's tip but thank you very much gary for the 20. he is going broke building a rat rig from scratch nine printers need an intervention nine's an okay number start getting concerned around the 15 mark you'll be good dave wilson is here what's up dave so is dan fixom dude is here non fam what is up all the cool kids are here today andrew is here all right what are we doing uh so yeah so wrestling happened on monday let me just tell you about my whole week shall i wrestling happen on monday um and then tuesday morning i wake up and the air conditioner isn't working and last week it is actually finally weather report finally it is going to only be like 82 here today or something like that so finally we have some cooler weather so that's awesome but the air conditioner doesn't work when i wake up and that's always a great feeling like oh great what i got to do now uh fortunately i know some of the coolest people in the whole world keep up the good reviews and information tony thank you very much for the tin that is much appreciated i will do my best so yes i know some of the coolest people in the whole world one of them being sergio over at hvac a to z and millennium hvac is his company uh i kid you not it was like eight o'clock in the morning my time he's an hour ahead of me uh i sent him a message and said hey man don't know if you can help but what should i check on my air conditioner because it's currently not working and within minutes he was on the phone uh diagnosing my air conditioner via live chat video chat and he figured it out i went and bought a new capacitor and i had it back up and running by noon and that was awesome uh jet one one the fact that sergio was so willing to help but two we saved a lot of money by not having to call someone and it's been so hot around here who knows when a tech would have showed up and we were just very fortunate that it was only a capacitor but publicly i'm going to say thank you very much sergio you saved the day because you know honestly i've never had to work on an air conditioner too much so that saves me a lot of youtube video watching and you know you have somebody you trust so that happened on tuesday oh by the way that's one thing i keep forgetting to do it's always the capacitor the flux capacitor um it wasn't near as cool as the flux capacitor that's one thing i've been forgetting to do is tom i need to catch up with you on vs code that's one thing i meant to get done this week and i didn't uh thursday i had to go into the office overnights and fix some stuff so that's always interesting it's just been a heck of a week a lot busier week than i usually have honestly lowe's finally dropped off the rest of the subfloor to finish out the rest of the basement floor so that's cool finally got that done well so that's the really uh chris says about the blower motor wouldn't start that was kind of the odd thing on mine so my my condenser is a janitrol which is not a very expensive condenser um that was the odd thing to me uh because the fan was going the compressor just wouldn't start so the fan was running just fine and i really thought i expected if the capacitor was bad or because there's really not a lot in there right the capacitor a relay a compressor just a handful of parts i really thought well maybe it was the relay that wouldn't kick the compressor on because the fan was running so that threw me for a moment but that's when you phone a friend and they figure that stuff out tom maker viking thank you very much for the 10 that was much appreciated jerry for 3d printing paintings here not all that much of a rush excellent uh i'm not sure it's so i'm not sure if that one is a two-stage capacitor or not it it must be tony thank you all right what are we doing now um now we need to put the other side of the x on [Music] okay check the capacitor first well i the capacitors were pretty affordable i'm lucky that i found some guy local that would sell to the public honestly because that's not a huge thing around here selling parts like that to non-licensed people so that was very fortunate i found one but they were also very inexpensive uh so i bought a backup capacitor in case i ever need another one and they were only like 13 bucks a piece so so that was good too didn't cost a lot of money belts they have this picture of the x-carriage here and it looks like a linear rail like linear rail what but it's not a linear rail um [Music] yes we should have totally put the x carriage on first and paid attention to what page we were on you think after building five or six of these i know that yes the install well you know the h the hvac guys uh they know a lot more than i do so when they they come out in all fairness when they come out you know they do all the checks to make sure everything's good and free on levels and all that good stuff which you know i don't have gauges or anything like that to check free on nor would i try joel driver thank you duet to wi-fi you said you found a replacement bed i think you said that last week where did you find it gussner is here what's up gustner a realish semi-kit build that's very descriptive though very descriptive a philosopher he is mm-hmm there we go no stay on the this housing is a little small looks good in canada you canadian folks somebody told me or i heard somewhere the other day but there's only like 40 million people in canada is that true it seems low to me for some reason you know that's something i could have googled instead of asking all of you all but you know then you can save me the time it does have a kind of a different tensioner that's kind of cool all the derek c's are in the same place we have a few 38 million yeah you learn something new every day i tell you i never really thought about it but low i don't really think i know what i'm doing honestly 3d printers they seem hard let's stop now because i've done two things backwards so far that i shouldn't have let's just forget about the whole thing come on man you've never have you ever seen a 3d printer before i think we should just stop and drink coffee let's drink coffee instead of building printers let's stop reading chat for a moment so i can actually decide how 3d printers work i wish it was benchy time already i can tell you that the problem is with this one so on most of these designs the clips for the belt these are actually down just a little bit further this has a really close clearance to this x so i'd like to get it all in place at the same time but you need about five hands to get that done so i think i'm going to have there's no way around it i'm going to have to put the bottom belt holder on last let's just go for it let's just fight it let's just fight it the only problem is with it being cooler outside it's a lot warmer down here because the air conditioner doesn't run near as much so it's very warm down here today i forgot what i was doing flashbacks daniel norris here what is up daniel swear a little bit you know you want to a little swearing never hurt anybody right daniel thank you for joining the stream i haven't seen you in a while thank you very much for the 50 much appreciated my friend if you don't know daniel nor ray where have you been he's the man that brought us open rc and the benchy where would my 3d print printing channel be without the benchy nobody to ever watch it they come just for the benchy prince now we got it that was a thinker but this one actually has kind of a nice tensioner where a lot of them don't have anything uh it's a couple of bolts but you can move that whole bracket so that's cool you don't have to mess with the t-nuts on the usual creality setup yes looking forward to seeing everyone at murph 2022 i will be there pending any other global crisis and daniel and i will high-five and ironically i won't high-five joel telling i will just hug him there is usually a plastic film on the bed under the build surface that needs to be removed just a heads up andrew thank you very much for the five good tip i have never seen one that had plastic on it honestly those screw heads on that x fairly clear just a little tight but it's on what else yes benchies are the only reason i watch true words have never been said thank you very much michael for the five bucks fix them dude you've never seen fixum dudes models he makes some really creative stuff joel is a good hugger i am not ashamed to admit i have hugged mr telling a couple of times over the years yes daniel we absolutely should make that happen uh i want to get updates and see what you're doing all that good stuff we should do a live stream and just have a chat we won a 300 benchy 300 benchy i have one of those laying around here somewhere if you'd like me to go grab it who switched this rich valentino thank you very much for the 50. produce more benches that's all we do it for the only reason why we do around here uh speaking of benches you know we did the whole printed solid contest thing uh on benchy road that's right what's up zimmy haven't seen you in a while larry's here hello so is scott hackmonkey what is up um what's he talking about oh printed solid contest do we have the contest we announced the winners all that is over and everything i produced a video about the winners and there's some commentary in there about you know with the judges and they're some of them tell stories and and some of it's actually pretty interesting so even if you don't care about the winners watch the video because some of the stuff that those folks say is very entertaining uh veteran tells a story in there about printing a verse his first vinci and it's priceless it's priceless and then ivan miranda blames me for one of the contest entries not turning out like it should have which was also very funny i haven't had me rolling that whole time i'm in his hysterical i i was ruining the the parts of the video that i wanted to show because i was laughing too much there you go like the like the duck pond game chris from intro 3ds here by the way hello chris yeah jerry the uh the guys really liked the christmas tree uh that was uh we we talked about the christmas tree quite a bit nicely done got our z screw on it's fairly straight so now that x is on and kind of at the bottom there now i'm going to tighten up these bottom ones if you're putting something together like this and you intend on using it this is going to be your printer i highly suggest you take the time to make sure all the extrusions are actually straight um they're flush if you have the means and they're not re-cut them if you have to just make sure it's all nice and level before you put it together me we don't have time for such things we have benches to print but i have seen different qualities of these kits sometimes they need a little help whoa you had 400 spools at that time two printers only one works that's very common tony 16 vinci's not bad not bad i won't even making a guess of how many i have um 400 spools geez i i would guess i probably had like i've only had 500 spools of filament total in my whole life that's a lot of spools new chris t-shirt i always get hit with with uh t-shirt ideas people get really creative um power supply i guess would be good what kind of screws we got i do like the fact that it's black nice nice touch only one benchy your benchy needs friends they get lonely without each other hello power supply where is the proper location for this hello that was a thinker there we go judging by the number of benchies made so far you should rename your channel to chris shipyard [Laughter] uh derek thank you very much for the five chris's shipyard hmm pretty good name i don't know if that is stripped or if it's just maybe the end of that screw is a little wonky maybe battle benchy there's all kinds of cool benches out there i like submarine benchy that's one of my favorites is a shame uh the top hole on this psu almost looks like somebody tried to retap it because it is not four millimeter any longer but i don't think it's quite five either not a huge problem but still irritating didn't do like something creative here that i didn't that i don't know about right nope so that's a bummer again not a huge deal how big is this hole four minute meter hole as well the top it's been stripped so that's no good but we'll press on i could jb weld it and re-tap it benchmast prime all right we're pretty much done here we gotta wire up i have to tension that belt plastic sheet on the bed you say i know that table camera isn't doing you any favors probably can't see much yes interesting you know honestly i don't know if i would have looked at this probably not that's a nice sheet though we should stick this on something there you go boom uh how are the carriages on this x is nice let's go ahead and tension that while we're doing this something bigger than that what is that a chicken i don't know where that came from [Music] if i like that or not give that another go i could probably use some washers underneath those screw heads if i were to say all right go ahead and strip that out that'll work okay belt's good x carriage is good um i did notice that their leads they have left the lead screw nut loose and i see that quite often because some manufacturers will tell you that that's how you cure your z wobble i'll just listen that nut up it'll be fine uh so i don't particularly want to do that it does have lock washes on the bottom of it i thought i had 1600 on there for a minute four learned a lot you know i don't know anything about i appreciate the the comment on my video i'm glad that helped you out uh i don't know a lot about that smart filament sensor that's one of the boards from them i've never had there are a few folks that have done videos on it but i am kind of surprised it doesn't work with the one four that's like the most popular board they've ever had all right some wiring where'd oh that's for the z and stuff i'm like what that's kind of short for a filament run out wire the z stop is adjustable does the z anti-backlash screw does really something or it's marketing uh valentino thank you again uh 50 appreciate it is it just marketing well yes and no so my filament detection my personal preference is to use delrin z nuts because they suffer they don't have the slop tool they don't as bad they do they still do have some but to get rid of that backlash to minimize the backlash issue i like to use the palm nuts or delrin nuts whatever you'd like to call them that's my preferred way of doing it these are brass the anti-backlash i think it does help how much i couldn't tell you because on a 3d printer that nut is always loaded right it's preloaded and that's really the only thing you have to worry about but then you know you have to consider things like if you do z-hop or something like that then you you are going to see some action on that and it could mess some things up so i mean in certain instances yes it's going to hell and a backlash is going to help um how much the your mileage will vary the bed is just a little loose not much at all very nice okay is everything on everything wired i think so [Music] [Music] okay i am installing a mosquito and orbiter on my ender5 plus while watching your stream i am still waiting for thermal paste to arrive can i get away without it for a week or is that a bad idea thank you for the 10 i would probably wait on the thermal pace honestly i think i would go ahead and wait to put it on because you might get creep oh i hear hank hold on just a moment i'm sorry to do this to you hold on just a moment let me go let him in real quick i will be right back [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] sorry uh that power supply screw is kind of annoying there so we'll power up here ready one beat there we go it actually has a little bit different menu that i'm used to seeing it's hard it's hard to see it's red interesting yes as i was saying before i had to mute or i was muted uh hank is getting old and uh sounded like he was having some issues but a few meds stick him outside i'll probably have to run up there again in a couple minutes to put him inside but he should be okay the extrusion covers on these love to fall off that is definitely going to need some hot glue well so no smoke that's good orange would be better absolutely let's preheat the 210 and 60. let's home and check the level on this z and stop it could be the air conditioner that you hear bad microphone today could be the background noise that's causing all the problems it's less hot here today but it's still hot do they have a disabled they do they have motors off one thing i already noticed though the bed springs on this are very light what extruder it's the old plastic injection molded extruder that you see on pretty much everything take the z end stop down just a bit the machine is actually level you're going to see it rocking back and forth because i have a really unlevel spot on this table there's a it's two sections of flooring and where it's creased where i put it together it's really starting to bubble up the printer isn't in all that bad shape but the table sure is there alright that's a good question i don't know what the difference on the neptune one was those extruders are your nemesis yeah not my fave i think i'm finally out of pieces of [Applause] paper [Applause] [Laughter] audio seems good there good good good use the manual the manuals are always so slick feeler gauge is a good way to go it's a little different workflow than using a piece of paper but if you got one and you're familiar with using one sure works great all right what kind of filament do we want today it's much more level there what'd we do last time we did that brown color last time didn't we where is the old spool holder we did orange not too long ago something bright blue james cameron is here excellent oh by the way this thing for drivers somebody's to mention quiet uh it has two two two fives in it which is really close to a 2208 but not exactly the same something bright blue how about this is kind of a cool color this is printed solid jesse piola if you couldn't have guessed that's the filament we're using today this color is pure cheyenne i've never actually used this color before but it looks pretty [Applause] nice pretty nice um one feature i did notice on this printer that i like a lot more than other machines that are like this is that the hot end fan only turns on when the hot ends up to temp huge bonus it doesn't sit there and run constantly i really like that teamwork now all we need is a file we do have microsd card boards upside down inside the enclosure did they give you a card yes they did oh they give you collet clips too which i didn't put on oh they have one on the hot inside what are we making well i'm glad you asked if you are new here one thing that we do is we print a lot of benchies so let's see what's on their sd card they have a buddha test g code on the sd card that could be interesting i have too many different default profiles for the ender 3 like printers what is the retraction on this one let's go with four millimeters for this one just because there let's do this chris is a benchyman what's up james ooh sweet print of fidget spinned made with benchies a fidget spinner made of benchies uh thank you very much for the 20 much appreciated you've been hitting me with all kinds of tips today thank you i'm gonna move this over here oh wrong way check this out the screen is kind of hard to see but it does have the icons of what it actually is so there's their little test buddha print it doesn't show the benchy but i don't remember in prusa slicer there's something you have to tick to get that to go over there i'll have to figure that out but i do like that feature that makes it a lot handier when you're scrolling through these things all right let me move this around so you don't get sick while i'm doing it that's no fun make the wife happy drop a ddt on live stream a ddt uh oh and it's printing beautifully looks like it had some gray test filament in there a ddt uh derek c thank you for the 10. that's one thing that kills me about wrestling it's all their super secret moves you know they're uh there you go and we're printing yeah i kind of like that screen i don't know that i would have chosen red maybe you can change that up in the options but it is a nice screen i like that and i like that color of filament that's cool too jake the snake oh man i don't remember what he called that but you know like when you were down for the count he'd throw the snake on you i remember that let's make sure the part fan is gonna kick on yeah it's kind of tucked under the bed isn't it it it is kind of under there a bit we still don't know what a ddt is what what does ddt even stand for uh i'd have to look it up but that was always the the big move body slam all right we were talking about wrestling earlier earlier for those of you that weren't on the stream okay coffee break i'm gonna go let the dog in um everybody grab some coffee and we will hang out while this thing prints okay sounds good okay i'm back how's it look it looks pretty good i don't see it curling or anything now on this one i did notice looks way too hot the part fan is on the other side from like what an ender 3 or something would be so having the benchy turned in that fashion as we usually do the front of it probably the overhang probably isn't going to look all that great that is some interesting action there in the front though i wonder what our actual temperatures are because it kind of looks like it's melty hmm and like accidentally set it to 250 or something no it's 210 60. that might be worth getting the thermal couple out and seeing how hot that actually is even with uh that might be worth a look to see if the thermistor is even okay even with no part cooling i don't think i've ever seen it get that hot it's pretty quiet it's got i mean you can hear some fan noise but um it's not near as bad as some that i've seen there is a fan in the psu but it does not run all the time apparently well it's running now maybe it does run all the time it's running but the duct isn't getting any of the air over there apparently yes fan is at 100 percent they actually do lit they uh show that information on the screen it's set at 2 55. it has a shark's mouth [Laughter] it does look kind of sad doesn't it it's got a frowny face verge subscribe to princess monthly subscription excellent you won't be disappointed it's good stuff fan noise is fine it's not real noisy at all wfos here hello it looks like the part fan duct is actually part of the front cover like the whole front cover grill and everything covering the hot end it's all built into that so that might be a little tricky to remodel a duct for this extruder sounds like a ticking clock well that's no good more than one airhead in the monthly box i agree i need five candies in my box does any manufacturers sell a printer where the part cooling works uh prusa when i don't remember what if it was mark two or mark three one of them uh it worked so good it would cause thermal runway when it first came out i mean you can feel some but there's slots um there's slots in the side too where the hot end fan can push air out so it's kind of hard to tell there's not much air under there though and it could be you know who knows what the quality of that fan is maybe it just this one just doesn't have a very good fan you might be able to switch it out to something a little higher grade cool there's already an upgrade on fangs for the neptune 2 excellence thank you for that information mark 3 had that issue are there known issues with marlin with a basic config on the ender 5 plus not that i know of but i've never dealt with a plus before [Laughter] [Music] uh when how d12 no i never tried a d12 thank you for again for the 50. what is ars i have to look that up did you try the wanhao d12 it's kinda good dual z dual color with dual drive extruders it even have stabilizer rods merlin trying to heat the bed and the hot at the same time hmm that sounds like uh something's up in the pins file yeah that was james was talking about the x5s that was pretty strange we got those printers really close together and ours were a lot different from one another it's like 20 cents that's fine we still get to hear the thing talk so that's good i'm surprised it will let you put that in i don't know how they do conversions with with super chat have a canadian two ni the chris riley uh the chris riley thank you very much james for the two canadian 32-bit main board somebody was asking about that i i wasn't thinking when i was putting this together we should have opened it up and looked at it um i'm pretty sure it does though let's just find out yes it does have a 32-bit motherboard i said this before but it has 2225 drivers which are really close to 22 28 they have kind of the same features but it does not say what type of board it is which they almost never do not bad for 160 bucks i have to say definitely going to have to have some part cooling action rob and nano that is a great bet it's a shame benties don't float they float capsized it is kind of sad to see one floating upside down yeah i've thought about that before uh if we sized up the benches a little bit we'd have a little bit more room to work with it would be nice if you could like pause the print and toss something in there inside the infill to get them to float upright i don't know exactly what you would do but i think somebody did that now that i'm now i'm thinking about that didn't somebody do a video where they reworked the benchy somehow so that it would float upright just print 100 info i wonder how much uh how much filament it takes to print 100 benchy i've never done that lead shot there you go yes the highlight on this is almost identical to the one that reality uses it might in fact be the same one yep you could use the variable infill setting uh that's available in prusa slicer as well andy is here what's up andy um you are very welcome for the help the other day no problem put a bontec on it are people still using simple i still hear people use it all the time james it's still pretty common three hours and eight minutes 6.69 meters nice what is my favorite extruder right now that's a tough question i mean for uh for replacement for the ender 3 i still think the ezr is a good bet it's affordable works pretty good it'll handle flexible pretty good and it's like a direct swap out so for these style machines i think the ezr is kind of the way to go i don't know that i'd spend a whole lot more money on an extruder you can get those aluminum extruders now that have the dual gears they're not too bad yes it's a lot quieter than the stockinder 3 i can tell you that you can eat anything if you're brave enough i've never heard that one before but i guess that's true don't eat things that aren't food good advice so what is everybody else doing with the rest of their day james are you and glenn streaming this afternoon oh yeah yeah i know what you're talking about now um i really like uh the omnia drop extruders um they are pricey i mean don't get me wrong but they are they're laid out really well max has put a lot of effort into this whole contraption and they work really good you can check them out there at that link but they again they are pricey it's it's a one-man machine over there too so he's had to source all this himself and all that good stuff thomas is working on his designs for 3d printers that's always good back to school tomorrow already it's uh it's only going to be august 2nd i think the kids around here go back the 15th i want to say omnidrops are good they are taking the family to the park that sounds like a good idea uh james send me the info please um so i can stop by and check that out so i will remember to do it arizona starts really early which speed parameters well that's always hard to tell uh focus camera you can do that i swear um i can tell you what my settings are but autocool is on and on the benchy really going to slow you down because there's a lot of layers that are within that time limit but i can tell you what the speed settings are set to uh perimeters are 40 infill is 60. small perimeters are 15 external or 20 um solid infill is 20 top solid infill is 15 and then bridges are 60 and gap fill is 20. turn auto focus off then i'd have to figure it out there's at some point it will stop looking at stuff behind it there's actually a pretty nice interface for this thing piece of software but i don't use it very often let's try that there we go the layers on this thing actually look pretty good i do like this cheyenne color that's a good color can i build your x5s for you i can't there's now a law where i'm not allowed to uh work on an x5s any other machine i would gladly come and do it but they won't let me work on that one anymore dave randolph's back hello dave dave we're using uh pure cheyenne i really like this color nicely done mr martin jensen just subscribed thank you very much it just refuses yeah i know uh in fact i sent my x5s to [Music] brandon uh techydad he is a youtuber uh i don't know if he ever got that working or what what he did with it i sent james some parts off of it so it wasn't a complete printer uh when i sent it to brandon but i'm sure he used the parts for something yeah agreed uh some of the cooling got straightened out i wonder what the actual temperature is where's my uh let me go find my thermometer we can at least see how hot the bed is i was curious if it was the bed that was cut yeah so the bed is like almost 70 c that's part of the problem and i'm sure it's even hotter than that so the bed is way too hot that's uh that's what's causing our that low down cooling issue so definitely going to have to check the thermistor uh on that bed make sure it's working correctly we'll lower it down to uh a couple of degrees and see if that makes a difference motorhead mitch is here what's up mitch uh installing a breaker box nice uh va three fuc and radio thank you for the sub uh yeah pid tuning for the bed is usually disabled on most of these kits so that is a shame that's a very easy thing to turn on that would be somewhat handy don't use heat bed for pla yeah um that used to be a really common thing to do or it used to be really common for printers not to have a heated bed one of the best things about printed solid jesse pla talking about all the colors that they have uh they have three different colors of orange so that's always good in my book you have what is it mystery orange safety orange and then brad's orange all very nice colors in their own right yes the mystery orange is the the retina burning orange that we all know and love that is still that is my favorite i believe the ice orange i believe was a one-off the the there was like a there's like a transparent ish orange uh i believe that was just for the monthly box uh this is ten percent infill um using grid safety dance orange neon brown i really need to try i need to get a black light so i can try that everybody's telling me that neon brown is cool under blacklight gotta do it oh excellent ron uh well thank you for the dual sub having the bed heat that up up that high that benchy might be on there permanently back down to like 55 now so that's better anyway emojis you gotta love emojis i'm gonna stop using words just gonna do emojis from now on not a bad first print at all i totally agree it's doing a very nice job and we hit it on the first time we didn't have to mess around with it much and as far as adjusting things um it's not i mean i had to adjust the bed just a little bit and the the wheels on the x just a little bit uh but not near as far out of scope as some of these machines that we've tried so all in all i'm pretty happy especially for something that cost around 160 bucks no linear advance on a 2225 i thought they solved all of those problems i don't know if linear advance is on or not most of the time on these machines they don't enable it strain gauge work on sensorless homing um i mean technically it i mean it would i mean you shouldn't need it right uh i have never had good luck with uh i've tried senseless homing on z i've never had good luck getting it to work uh 2225 is not the same as the 2208 they have the same types of features they're really close in feature set but they're actually different drivers you have the latest marlin and the extruder stops working well that's a shame yeah i've only had a few printers over the years that came with full spools of filament there they are out there but it's not real common lemmings i haven't seen that one in a while the 250 the 250 gram spools are nice one i like the little spools i like to have some of those around in case you want to re-wrap a sample or something like that those are handy to have but uh that's enough to get you going you know i think that's a a fair enough deal with a printer if they give you 250 [Music] grams 48 ouch start hoarding your filament everyone actually don't do that forget i said that [Laughter] yeah the 500 grams you're right and then it's nice um i like that i kind of like the filamentum 750s uh it's just a it's a nice spool they're easy to deal with especially when you're doing multiples like tool changer and mmu when you have five of them they're just a little easier to deal with than the full-size pool filament gate oh no don't don't tag me on that one that's all i need let's skip print printing the benchy we'll all go have a nap absolutely mike that means that that's the definition of rich 20 percent the cost and 500 is 50 wow haven't seen a submarine vinci man i had one no maybe i did i'm pretty sure i had a submarine benchy sitting around here somewhere i know i had an aircraft carrier vinci i'm not sure where it went now you need to go look i had one at one time yeah i mean i'm not really sure on the cooling there's definitely there was definitely an issue though with the bed the bed was set way too high i set it to 60 and it was almost 70. so the cooling actually smoothed out a bit uh as it got away from the bed so i can't really make a call on that as of yet until we get the bed sorted out there is some definite air flow i mean you can feel it but it's um it could use some more let's put it that way turns into a robot transformer benchy what voltron benchy wood fill filament is the new 401k see you there james kind of a laid back stream today compared to the last stream huh all in all i think this is a pretty uh it's a fair kit uh we'll see what the price does you know i mean sometimes these things fluctuate but this might be the new bottom for ender 3 style machines i don't know i don't even know how they make money at this price i know i've said that a billion times but jeez um i was just gonna say of course it's just good it's really good filament of course see you later wfo thanks for coming this is probably going to be the last printer unboxing build that we do for a while um i do have some other printers that i need to build but they are not uh it's it's all kits and it's all stuff that we have to self-source it's nothing from a manufacturer so those should be interesting but it won't be we won't be doing things like this for a little bit this is the last one that i accepted that they that somebody offered me that i actually accepted i've been turning down everything else just so i can get some other stuff done sourcing is always a fun adventure isn't it a lot of parts are pretty hard to get no stringing so far we'll see about when it gets to the wheelhouse need more cnc stuff i agree i agree i'm gonna have to have tom lama give me a crash course in the software that he uses uh i am not the best with setting up jobs and things like that i can get it done but i know there's a better way to do it than what i do mcmaster car and money nice 2.4 i saw tom had a video about automatic bed changing out like he was changing out the build plates i haven't watched it yet but it sounds interesting circuit design isolation building that i i have thought about that before um i've been kicking around a couple of different pcb designs to to get a few things done that i'd like to get done so that could be uh that could be a great way to get started dave's putting 3d printed parts on the on the extrusion line that's awesome and the chain 45 s and the changer turntable that doesn't sound familiar it was cool cool i gotta watch it oh you're talking about 45s okay i got you now uh yes and the changer turntable oh we had one of those when i was a kid where you could stack them up and the little arm would come out yes i remember that now i get it yep i remember that i remember it had really cool buttons i liked the the mechanism buttons on those they were like latches and like you slid it down and it was spring-loaded so it popped back i remember messing around with that when i was a kid i don't look to be little i just turned 40. i was pretty small when we had one of those record players and it was pretty old by then nice brandon got one from 189 two weeks ago already modding it out that's cool good to hear that might be a good watch dave i'll have to go check it check on that it is a really cool mechanism uh i love stuff like that you know like just looking inside of watches and really intricate mechanical mechanisms that stuff fascinates me i was trying to think about somebody a 25-inch tv took up the entire wall in the living room i was trying to think the other day what is the biggest tube crt style tv that you have ever seen uh there were some really big ones real monster ones there before flat screen started to come out i think the biggest one i ever saw was a 32 and it was huge it probably weighed you know over 100 pounds easy but i think that's the biggest one i've ever seen 36. 36 yeah uh i had a 24-inch tube computer monitor uh it was a beast way back in the day 40 inch hd tube nice i lost the start of the stream and i just learned the snafu by minda hilarious thank you for the five i appreciate it yeah that was interesting it's been an interesting week i'm glad it's over now we can start another one tomorrow 25 inch console fish tank awesome i've i've seen a few of those over the years those are all those always turn out really well gateway made a 36 computer monitor i don't think i've ever seen one of those that that has to be a monster the weight was an anti-theft feature good point good point [Laughter] uh same old change shane is here what is up shane you are absolutely right uh i'm sure that this one is going to turn out much better than last week did i'm very confident wired remotes i remember them being on things we never had one uh we had the same like 19 inch tv like my whole childhood the same old tv we didn't get a new like i think my dad broke down and bought like a 27 inch tv when i was like 10 or 11. and that was the first remote control we ever had i remember uh i'm surprised joel isn't here to make sure i stay in the lines uh he might be here but he's not telling [Laughter] zing anyway um what was it gonna say oh i remember when i was a kid talking about your dad almost killed you uh speaking of tvs i i don't remember how old i was 14 maybe something somewhere there i was building a rubber band ball right so i was just going around finding every rubber band i could possibly find and it had gotten really large i've been working on it for a couple of months and it was like bigger than a softball and if you've ever built a rubber band ball uh they are very heavy when they get of size so it was like bigger than a softball and i was taunting my brother one day of course and my mom had these glass top end tables and i was taunting him and i was bouncing it on the floor and it was really heavy and noisy you know and he was getting upset and and he reaches over and the ball goes out of control and it goes up in the air and then right on the top of my mom's table and broke the glass top [Laughter] and my dad's upstairs and you know they hear this crash and all i hear from upstairs is was that my tv [Laughter] and i said no and then he didn't say anything else he didn't even want to know what happened just as long as it wasn't the tv that was a great great moment he had priorities that that is for sure oh wow you got your own breaker how cool is that did you break my stuff all i cared about was the tv uh video discs yeah uh i remember when i was in grade school we had a laserdisc player i mean that was like super high tech for a suburban grade school at the time of course the school only had one you know it had to be shared by every classroom but we did have one i was fascinated by those when they came out [Laughter] that boy right [Laughter] i work with guys from boston you know they have older guys from boston in fact uh my one main contact he just retired but um you know that real thick accents and it's always the clicker hey where's the clicker it was not the tv four phone lines now that is awesome that's awesome uh boston people are the best some sometimes they get me they get me going with some of the things that they say cracks me up dan adams just switched from the round fuses uh if they were round pieces i did that like five years ago this house still had round fuses i just switched it over a couple years ago i think it was only like 60 amp service or something like that when i switched it yep round pieces i was you know you occasionally you'd still have to go buy a fuse and i was kind of shocked that you could actually still get them we have sutherland stores here in missouri and kansas has them too i believe um but they're kind of an old school style hardware store kind of slash lumber yard and they would still carry round fuses uh i don't really have any side work to do today i pretty much fixed everything i was going to fix i can tell you though i've been trying some filament samples out this nebula multicolor proto pasta this stuff is really cool i might actually have to break down and buy a spool of this if you like the glittery filaments uh that stuff is really sharp uh that print didn't come out so great but uh the filament just looks awesome and it's gradient right it's it's uh kind of changes color while you print really cool filament if you're into the whole protopasta thing therapy from the basement i don't know if that's a good idea or not still in use huh all right babbages i do remember babbages the mall close up here we had a babbages uh and a software and etc trial run eggheads yeah we uh they we had eggheads um it i want to say we never went to it because i want to say it was like over on the kansas side a little far from me but yeah there were eggheads around here i remember them circuit city and comp usa yeah remember remember when you could fix them by screwing in a penny there's a flea market all weekend well that sounds kind of interesting wayne is here uh neptune not bad especially for the money uh we got it right up in printing kit looked pretty good there was a few little things here and there but nothing noth no show stoppers so not bad there's a few things we need to look at but for the money looks pretty good to me i still have my first computer right under here right right on the bottom shelf over here it's an old 286. uh it does no longer work though i did try it not too long ago it will not post any longer i should send it to dave for his museum retail is on their site it says 160. 128 to 256 yes i think this is a one meg machine i don't remember yeah i believe it is one made machine i believe did i reseat the ram uh this one doesn't even have any it's uh just got one onboard chip indoor 3v2 versus this really the only big advantage to the industry v2 it's got a pretty nice screen i like that the vertical screen on it that's cool and everything but um it's the it's the main board but the the original inter three uh you know it was always so noisy and there wasn't a lot of memory on the chip so with the v2 you got the upgraded board so so that's the big highlight for the v2 uh this one has all of the same stuff basically a v2 would plus you get filament run out and it's a lot cheaper so uh i think i would go i would look at this before the v2 honestly atari xe i don't know if i've ever seen that one had a turbo button mine has the turbo light but it doesn't have a button it just has a reset button you had to set the turbo in the bios cat's back from cleaning your fish tank i know all about cleaning fish tanks i have to do that a lot benji is looking pretty good yes i agree um carl brown is here what's up carl um i remember on my 286 i got a single speed cd-rom drive uh the one with the removable cartridge in fact that's still in there i got a cd-rom drive and i didn't have enough i don't remember what it was i didn't have enough memory to address the cd-rom and something else at the same time so i had to go into um autoexec and switch them up every time i wanted to use the cd or this other thing man i cannot remember what the other thing was because i remember i had a i had a five and a quarter at the beginning and then i switched to a three and a half because you know i was moving up in the world and and then i found this old old-school cd-rom drive some guy sold it to me for like 10 bucks at one of these you know swap meets or something because it was even old at that time uh the single speed i can't remember what else you you addressed in there that took up the memory huh that's been a long time ago i was like 10 when i was messing with that stuff i don't remember now memory or irq i don't remember how i changed it either 160 liter 110 linear nice fish tanks are so calming seventh guess i didn't play that one i remember that game but i didn't play it no it's uh you just haven't been gone that long we're 65 through it's just not printing super fast zork that's right 8088 i had an old uh vic 20 laptop it was huge uh somebody get i had it years after it was obsolete but i you know i just took it apart to see what was in there uh but yeah he was a monster keith was working at claycomo ford plant uh that is not very far from me at all i actually we actually took a tour of claycomo um uh when i was in like grade school you were probably there uh it's definitely lower price than a v2 i can't tell you for sure if it is better or not but they have a little bit different feature set and it is definitely more affordable john smith from blue springs nice yeah so you were definitely there i'm not sure what board it is people were speculating that it was a maker-based robin board that's pretty common to see in these things uh when our benchy's done we'll take a look if it's easy to get to i don't want to have to tear up a whole lot of things we'll take a look at the bottom of that when the benchy's done it's hard to find someplace that has these in stock i'll bet it is it is 32 bit yes and it runs 2225 drivers which are pretty close to the same features as 2208s yeah i remember before when i didn't have windows that computer wouldn't even run windows well i take that back it would if you had enough time like 3 3.0 um i remember going to the library what is that and getting books on text games you know go to 10 writing gw basic and qbasic writing the text-based games i remember doing that as a very young child amazon has them for 175 still not a bad price blue screen of death 30. i just remember it wasn't a whole lot of fun when it first came out windows okay something in this path it's the filament sensor that's going to say you can you can hear the like just barely you can hear the filament rub and you can feel it in the filament like the actual but it's the it's the sensor housing it rubs just a little bit coming through there but it's kind of a ticking sound i was just hoping it wasn't the extruder motor and it's not that's good it'll eventually it'll wear the plastic down and it'll be fine doss until windows 95 i used to be really good in dos uh good question bennett um they are not pancake motors um i'm gonna say that's like a 38 they are nema 17s it's a 32 so they're still pretty they're pretty good size and there's there's uh i think the extruder motor is actually a little larger than that the extruder motor is a 40. so yes they're using full-size motors oh my favorite guitar oh man that's a tough one aolcd's for coasters 1200 i had an 800 baud modem that was my first modem for the beat getting on the bbs yeah i think so outside of this plastic of the plastic extruder um i think you're right you probably have a really decent weight you'd have a pretty nice machine that you could print a lot of different flexible filament if you wanted to throw like an ezr on there that's probably the first drawback i mean these work for a while i mean you know they eventually they crack and wear out they work for a while but yeah slap another extruder on here you shouldn't have any problems if you can get a hold of one of these yeah cooling duck is uh es335 there you go uh i think my first dos was three one i think uh cooling duck the cooling it could definitely use some more cooling that's for sure uh but somebody said there's already a printed version out there that's much better for this machine so so they're already the folks in the community are already starting to make parts so that's good to see my favorite guitar i am a big electric guitar fan if you couldn't tell i do have some semi hollow body guitars and i have a couple of acoustics but i really like the old solid body style guitars and i have a lot of guitars that i like i really like in my collection but i have a what year is it 2 000 [Music] 2006. i have a 2006 uh gibson explorer that is transparent cherry that i absolutely love that is probably still my favorite guitar in my whole collection i would absolutely adore that guitar compuser still around that's a good question i don't know they probably got gobbled up by somebody uh i am using crucial slicer i use pressure slicer for pretty much everything but this one was sliced in crucial sizer using the ender3 profile ooh cardinal red 85 custom shot flying v now that sounds nice okay gary occasionally i will occasionally i uh i'll pick it up and play a little bit i don't play near as i use that used to be my hobby that used to be all i did was play guitar but uh i put it down for a while and i never really went back to it but i uh i do i do still occasionally uh and hey it's hanging in my office upstairs i'll pull it down and play in a while i still enjoy it prs custom you know prs is one of the manufacturers of guitar that i've never owned one i have looked at them a million times i'm like you know what i really need a paul reed smith uh but i've never pulled the trigger on it maybe when i retire i can finally afford a paul reed smith yes there are very slight strings you can start seeing them now three three was better there was one that was just horrible um uh what it was like i went from like three one or something like that to 5-0 i upgraded to 5-0 and it it like had a bunch of problems or something it was really buggy and or some i think that was the version that was really bad and then i jumped to something like six one if i remember correctly and it was pretty good but that was the last one that i ever had um everything after that was windows based bill gates was busy improved six two two that's what it was yep that i jumped to six two two you still have doss on floppy's nice i still had i still had two copies of dos on three and a half inch discs up until a couple of years ago i never got into commodore 64. s4 was bad okay windows in me i almost i must have blocked that one out i almost forgot that that existed yeah it was horrible a tacomini 12 string very nice i haven't seen a tacoma in years that was like my past time when i was a kid though i would just go hang out at the guitar store and look at stuff i'm sure they loved it the people that worked there but i would go there like every weekend and just wander uh that that was a huge part of my childhood he made a lot of money doing green saw i'll bet it did i don't know metal dad on the youtube channel metal dad i i'd have to check that out though just got back from the pool uh we're printing pinchy it seems to print pretty well this printer seems okay oh nice ron i remember when those came out man that was a big deal uh 1995 pb uh evh wolfgang that was the van halen guitar those things were stellar we had a local here the biggest guitar local guitar store we had here was a pv dealer so we always got to see the new pv stuff that thing was cool um joseoni special [Music] nice bc rich yeah justin just thank you justin a hug from brazil will take it thank you very much dr 3d print a little wispy i think this would have turned out so much better um if we would have gotten the bed heat straight hey chris love your videos and you've helped me elevate my prints tremendously enjoy a coffee on me also any thoughts on the upcoming prusa xl alexander thank you very much for the five and i am glad that the videos have helped you out any thoughts on the prusa excel uh i really don't have any thoughts on it i think it's a great idea what they're doing i think that that's um that's a good direction for them to go in but um i have faith that they will do it correctly you know that's that's the crucial way of doing things so i'm i'm just excited to see it basically i'd uh i just want to see him go ahead and release it it's going to be pretty sweet i think it'll be good vox guitars to smash them uh i remember when i was uh coming up like playing guitar you know 14 15 years old um my dad used to because he used to play guitar in the 60s and my dad used to tell me about guitars and you started seeing people play silver tone guitars you know in the 90s and that you know like rock stars were playing silver tone guitars and my dad used to tell me all the time you know they used to sell those at sears for like 20 bucks and you got an amplifier in the case he's like those are the worst guitars ever why would anybody prefer to play one of these things and now shoot you can spend like 600 bucks on a silver tone guitar if you find ones in decent shape uh it's crazy uh i remember i remember complaining about it though i was like these things are really crappy oh that's a shame i could see where that would be a problem though if you had a shattered wrist yep i'm looking forward to it carl hopefully i can still remember how to play guitar by then is there a good source for qqs pro i do not know paul i'm not sure how fl sun does their firmware um i would have to get a hold of them and ask them i i'm i'm honestly i'm not sure what they do there might be somebody in chat that knows though nice tailors excellent taylor makes a great guitar does it have baby steps that's a good question um it does not appear to have that option no no baby stepping ate some member berries oh shane the guy from the black keys so at least we know who did it i uh yeah you know and that's a big thing in guitars if you don't collect guitars or you you know you're around guitars that's a big thing is where they're made right and that um and it's changed the landscape of guitar making has changed a lot in my time uh but uh of course they a lot of manufacturers started shipping stuff overseas you know getting stuff made in china indonesia is a big one um uh but when i was young like i started looking at guitars the big thing were japanese fenders like fender was always made there in california but then you started to see japanese fenders and there i mean you always wanted the american one but you know they were like twice the price as a japanese one and some of the japanese models were actually really really nice they just didn't have the same details as the american ones did you didn't get the same kind of pickups and switches and stuff like that um but the japanese ones were pretty nice and then you started to see a lot of mexican fenders and different mexican guitars um and those were fair uh they were always a lot cheaper than the even the japanese ones but uh those were pretty fair guitars nothing wrong with them at all but then you know you started seeing some of the chinese guitars and stuff and they were never very good but uh yeah it's it's changed a lot about before the time before tv when i had to walk to school uphill both ways in snow with no shoes on dual neck sg there you go i never had a dual neck guitar it would be pretty sweet though we had the ps chain we had the discussion on tvs earlier so i saw that on their site uh on the elegance site if you look at this printer they list all the accessories for a resin based printer somebody messed that one up in the blizzard in june at 4am and i was happy about it cause we liked it [Music] uh no i have never seen a satchel guitar i have never seen one of those i don't believe max is here what's up matt tvs and stereos were furniture that's right when you got a new tv you just stacked it on top of the old tv while everyone laughed at me i had to live through them yeah um my dad was drafted at you know at age 18. and so a lot of story when when i got the the old man stories you know when he would tell when when i said things were hard when i was young most of those stories started with when i was in the service and then it went on from there uh so i didn't get the uphill both way story i got when i was in the service and we liked it uh this is completely my side gig i have a more than full-time day job i just do the youtube thing for fun made nice absolutely ron i was the remote control as well [Laughter] in fact i sat on the floor close to the tv so that i was ready i was readily available for channel changes yeah didn't send me that he probably didn't like it either washburn yeah awesome guitar i just do streaming to troll companies poor 3d printing companies i'm sorry i do bad things to you i don't mean to thank you alex it is uh it it leaves you it keeps you pretty busy but uh still fun it is very clean that is for sure stig is here what is up yeah it looks kinda alright i think it looks pretty good don't say too close to the tv i remember i remember my mom was worried about me standing in front of the microwave you remember when microwaves came out and they were huge these huge metal boxes she was always worried about us standing too close to the microwave while it was working yep no profile tuning stock ender benchy and the house lights would do him absolutely and it had you know the dial knob there weren't any buttons on it radio shack in the t-10 i missed radio shack and now now i do feel old we've been talking about old stuff way too long now i do feel really old but i do miss radio shack uh on more than one occasion in the last 40 years have i ran into radio shack just needing like one resistor or you know just one little part and they always had one i missed that where you can't you can't go anywhere and just buy a handful of parts anymore no matter how expensive they might have been we could nuke food that's right yeah glenn then ours did too it was just the big knob gi joe just happened to get trapped in the microwave i remember we'd put cds in the microwave at like other people's houses my mom my mom would have killed me if i did it to our microwave but we'd put the cds in other people's houses and the lightning would rain down that was always a good time absolutely the venture store we used to go to ventures a lot we never had fries i've been to fries in other cities and they are glorious what a great place microcenter's done a pretty good job i agree do i don't really remember micro center when every time i go into micro center it's like uh a fog like enters my head and i i i'm just completely overwhelmed by looking at everything uh do they actually sell components this microwave or microwave does my crew actually sell like resistors and capacitors and things like that i don't remember i never really thought the look i guess surprises no more [Music] i remember we ran to fr we were doing a project in seattle uh and we ran to fry's because we needed one fiber cable we were missing one cable uh and they had it laughs drone shots what's up right yeah that's what radio shack you you eventually had to buy like a hundred you know of every size or whatever still it was nice though that's good to know that microcenter does that um i'm not too far from our market center so it's about 45 minutes over there probably i do love to go to there though i haven't been there in a while i need to go back and just walk around they saw microsoft microcenter now nice i didn't know that lag roxanne that sounds interesting sweets they sell skr boards there now nice boy microsoft has really come up in the world since the last time i was there yeah that's pretty much in my immediate area we have a best buy right up the street that's pretty much the only thing we have left they got proto pasta too nice you needed a turbo and they had it nice that's cool man i didn't know that they were selling that stuff um i somebody was telling me the other day that skr boards one fours are getting really hard to get like if you need a replacement i don't know if they stopped making them or what oh stream's back i ain't seen any dropped frames but i don't know what happened inland inland brand filament is decent filament i used it for years um i used a lot of inland brand one it was affordable before i started buying stuff from dave now i just buy everything from dave sound like the record skit lpc chip shortage yeah i didn't think about that but you're probably right hey scott latines here what's up scott radio shops that's true radio shops used to be a thing i don't shane that's a great point i don't know at what point i just decided to never go to a store ever again like two or three years ago it's like why go i'll just send it home and wait for amazon to bring it i don't really buy that much stuff anyway i mean i really don't require a lot of things unfortunately my lovely wife does all of that for me uh but uh just stopped going to stores i don't even want to look at stuff anymore there's nothing to look at see you there tony skr rrf it's a fun one it's a good way to try rep rap without spending a bunch of money electronics will regain their popularity hobby towns have tiny radio shacks inside nice i did not know that there there might still be a hobby town around here somewhere i remember going in there a long time ago for rc car parts and stuff i remember it always being crazy expensive uh poppy ron is here what's up bobby ron lafayette radio electronics i'm sorry everyone that feels old after watching this live stream it had to be done it was reminiscing sunday i'm sorry there's still a hobbytown on north oak nice yeah i mean it was over there scott and i lived pretty close to one another it was over there in that that strip mall they're off a north oak forever get off my lawn uh i hope i get cranky enough someday to shoo kids off the lawn that'd be fantastic it we we had a little bit of an issue at the beginning uh i was i i was a little worried but it actually turned out you're right way better than i thought it would um we got pretty lucky on that one so let's let that cool for a moment i can pick some things up so really all in all this whole thing let's just recap a bit um the kit seems pretty nice there i did have an issue with one of the holes on the psu is stripped out uh so that'll need a fix in general though everything on it looks pretty good i mean a tip a typical extrusion based printer you do get filament run out it's a 32-bit board it has silent staffers they are again tmc 2225 which is really close to a 2208 so that's the same kind of features there um it doesn't have belt tension on the y but it does have it on the x so well not necessarily a tensioner but it's a lot easier mechanism to tension so that's good um the z end stop is adjustable i always like to see that the touchscreen isn't bad it would be better if it had baby stepping or you could change the color to something a little different it's in a kind of a weird position but not that big of a deal it does still have a tough touch screen and you can't beat the price um all in all not bad the the only thing i'm concerned about is the bed why is it so much hotter than what it's set at and i don't know if it's maybe a thermistor issue or maybe a firmware issue but i will check on that and report back uh that thing is probably it came out okay let's let's do one more thing here real quick though we'll take a look at this benchy but i'm curious the thermistor it's intact i mean it's stuck down to the bed fine i mean that doesn't look like the issue so maybe it's firmware related i'll ask elugu about that and let you know what i find out let's just have a peek real quick though at the if it's easy to get off at the main board compartment i do like to check that out on these streams just to see how they might have done things inside here oh decorative rock lawn that'd make lawn mowing so much better unplug i guess i could uh at least we won't be exposed to any ac but probably not a bad idea doing the thermal runaway protection i do not know i do not know um if i had a i don't know if i have a big enough set of pliers to trip that or not i could try it i need to get a fan for down here just for things like that just blast it with air until the thermal runaway kicks over a few short zaps to weak yet let's see oh it has a squirrel cage fan to cool the board off it says znp robin nano on it um they did not use ferrules on the wires they are all hot snotted in place um they have one that's kind of interesting i don't think i've ever seen that design before so there's a look at the board zmp rob and nano so i'm guessing it is an mks style board but you can see down here they have a fifth driver in place that is removable all the rest are built into the board but they do have one slot that you can you can set it up however you want so that's a little different i've never seen that before it looks like they do have they have some extra pins down there that you can play around with but this is probably for a wi-fi module so there is that not a bad board it does have potentiometers so you can at least adjust the current so that's good yeah i mean you could yeah you could do uh uh it's only got one z plug but you could throw another driver down there and do two two drivers if you wanted to tweet the firmware oh that's true we could just disconnect the heater extra yeah dual z or an extra extruder if that's what you wanted to do so not bad i mean it's not proprietary you know i mean it looks like there's a little room to grow there let's just unhook the heater of course they're flat terminals there you go beep i don't i don't know what's up with the single boot beeps but not my favorite aspect of 3d printers let's just see what it does why do they keep using hot glue on the connectors i think that's just one of those things that's super easy to do uh to keep one from falling out while they ship it just a little extra insurance they seem to all do it though it's been trying to print for 52 seconds hasn't hit it yet those things are usually set to like 20 seconds aren't they yeah that's a shame maybe if i ask them real nice they will uh send us an updated firmware uh ella goo did say and i forgot to get it before the stream of course they did say that they would have some discounts for you for my viewers i will as soon as i get the code if you're looking for one of these as soon as i get a code from elegoo i will put out a youtube post about it and let you know i will also add it to the description of this video um but they didn't say that they would have some sort of discount on this machine for my peoples so i definitely want to get that to you if if they send me something just curious real quick of what what the config looks like so i'm going to say there is no thermal runaway that's unfortunate it does have power off resume i just confirmed that eprom yeah that's a shame we'll talk to uh elgoo about that and what's in their firmware i will mention that when i report back to them why uh why they might be doing that without thermal runaway so that's unfortunate but it is what it is absolutely open source firmware for the for the win thank you mr latine for all the work you do for us we appreciate it okay oh you want to look at the benchy right it is running marlin yes so the benchy all in all looks pretty decent um it came out a lot nicer than i thought it was going to than from when it started so it looks really good the only issues we had were down here but i think that was mainly caused because that bed is so much hotter than what it's actually reading so we need to figure that out because after i got away from the bed it started cooling it down enough and it came out great so i got to figure that part out that's no good but other than that it's pretty sharp not bad at all and a lot of that again can be tuned out you can slice or tune your way out of a lot of those situations so it looks nice yup needs to be patched for thermal runaway uh i'll i'll i'm definitely going to take that to them though i will ask them see if they have a newer firmware with where that's enabled something like that but they definitely need to get that on there so that's it that's it for today um we should all thank scott every month i know i do uh by patreon support so thank you for everybody that joined thanks for all the super chat tips that is much appreciated again this is going to be the last unboxing type printers deal we're going to do for a little bit not the only not the last live stream though we're going to have some more live streams things we gotta build i got a lot of different products i wanna get to but uh the last unboxing style so no big deal uh i will keep you updated about the codes on this and what ela goo does i will put out a youtube post hopefully sometime tomorrow with all of that info and you know this might be the printer for you if you there's a few little things here and there that you might have to fix up but it's definitely affordable and it's the most affordable ender 3 style printer that i've seen and it seems to turn out a decent print so we'll see what they do with it not bad all right that's it i'm going to go have some food hopefully everybody has a great rest of their weekend i will see you very very soon again thank you all for joining take care stay cool um there's one more week of the olympics go watch some stuff
