after dominating the 3D printing
0:01
landscape for over two years by not only
0:04
delivering a reliable machines that just
0:06
work but I'd argue more importantly to
0:08
their success delivered a streamlined
0:11
user experience we've all wondered what
0:13
comes next what is the next big
0:15
innovation in 3D printing and is it
0:18
going to be Bamboo again who delivers it
0:20
now we all wanted a bigger machine which
0:22
yeah we kind of got here but I think we
0:25
also all expected them to have something
0:27
else up their sleeve in Apple speak we
0:30
anticipated their version of just one
0:33
more thing but as many now know this
0:35
more this extra beyond the new size is
0:39
essentially the delivery of some
0:41
multi-function Franken printer it prints
0:44
it slices it dices I mean draws or at
0:47
least it would with all the add-ons but
0:50
as just the larger bamboo printer we all
0:52
wanted I'm not so sure we actually got
0:55
that and with me being a reviewer that
0:58
focuses on practical user experience
1:00
over tech specs this should be my
1:02
wheelhouse it should be but honestly I'm
1:06
a bit bewildered by this one so hi I'm
1:09
Ross this is Fauxham Hammer Videos and
1:11
at this point I think I'm becoming a
1:13
semi-professional pessimist the short
1:15
version is I'm going to call it as I see
1:17
it i've seen a lot of talk in videos
1:18
about the H2D and there's no doubt about
1:20
it it's an amazing piece of kit but the
1:23
second I saw it when watching a reveal
1:25
video from the amazing 3D printing nerd
1:28
Joel I instantly assumed yeah Bamboo
1:32
have jumped the shark on this one and I
1:34
hope the thumbnail makes sense now if
1:36
not what I mean is have Bamboo run out
1:38
of creative ways to push FDM printing
1:40
forward so instead of just giving us a
1:42
bigger X1 they've done anything to stand
1:45
out from an ever copying and ever
1:47
cheapifying crowd and now that I've used
1:49
this for over a month almost nonstop
1:52
almost literally non-stop like I paused
1:54
it before recording this and it'll go
1:56
back to printing as soon as I'm done but
1:58
in all that time I'm not massively
2:00
deterred from that initial assumption so
2:03
here is everything wrong with the H2D
2:06
along with a few other fun observations
2:08
to be aware of first off this is heavy
2:12
the combo box which includes the AMS2 is
2:15
42 kilos the printer alone is 31 so
2:18
unlike other printers where I've
2:19
actually risked my spine or the onset of
2:21
a hernia to get these things onto my
2:23
desk I took absolutely no risks with
2:26
this one make no mistake lifting it is a
2:29
twoperson job unless you're a
2:31
professional weightlifter thankfully
2:33
there are two deliberate grab handles in
2:35
the base and could I also kindly request
2:37
some polite comments offering a round of
2:39
applause to Mrs hammer here she did this
2:41
in recovery from a frozen shoulder and
2:44
she doesn't like being on camera now
2:46
this is a very nice looking machine it's
2:48
not my favorite i've told you what my
2:50
favorite is before but I have to say I
2:52
actually do prefer the gray plastic to
2:54
the X1's aluminium however as I always
2:57
say design is a personal preference it
3:00
once again has a glass door and a lid
3:02
but this time it's got two side windows
3:04
with a large one on the right and a
3:06
small one on the left and whilst I do
3:08
like the addition of the light up bamboo
3:10
lab logos I can't help but feel this
3:12
very sexy embellishment is one we didn't
3:15
quite need especially if that could have
3:16
shaved some of this unit's significant
3:18
price tag off and I think that price tag
3:20
is going to be the main kicker whether
3:22
this is worth it to you is going to be a
3:24
very personal thing i can't really
3:26
comment because yes I'm in the
3:28
privileged position of getting printers
3:30
for free including this one so thank you
3:32
to Bamboo for sending it to me for
3:34
review but I think as you're about to
3:36
see these words are very much my own but
3:39
yeah this one is stomach turningly
3:41
expensive and released right as our US
3:43
viewers have to deal with the inclusion
3:45
of import taxes and as a 40-year-old
3:47
Brit all I can say is yeah sucks doesn't
3:51
it back to the printer and semi-related
3:53
to value I think there are a few
3:55
elements in this that we're getting
3:57
charged for that many of us may never
3:59
need for example the port for the
4:01
emergency stop along with the button on
4:03
the top right corner are completely
4:05
redundant without the laser module or
4:08
the laser upgrade now there's a six pin
4:10
port in the back to connect up an AMS or
4:12
a chain of AMS units but there's also
4:14
two four pin connectors like the ones
4:16
from the A1 and these aren't for the AMS
4:19
light the AMS light isn't compatible
4:21
with these printers just like it wasn't
4:23
with the X and P series so one of these
4:26
ports is also needed for the laser
4:28
functionality and the other is reserved
4:31
for a potential future add-on probably
4:33
the same add-on we're still waiting for
4:35
on any of the A1's and now that I say
4:38
that watch them go and release something
4:39
in like a week or a month from now and
4:41
make me look stupid for winging about
4:43
this if they do call me out on it in the
4:45
comments so I can update the video
4:47
description and also any revisions to
4:49
this review will be posted there now I
4:52
do personally have some interest in this
4:54
laser module and I'm actually getting my
4:56
hands on a Lumi Tool F28 soon for review
4:59
just so I can practice with one in
5:01
preparation for hopefully getting a H2DL
5:04
at some point but with all the ports on
5:06
the machine the one they've neglected to
5:08
give us is an Ethernet port which I've
5:10
got to say is a massive disappointment
5:13
another disappointment for me is the
5:15
exclusion of an SD card slot which is
5:17
now replaced with a USB socket for pen
5:19
drives now yeah on first glance this is
5:22
a handy location for accessibility for
5:24
what I suspect are a very small minority
5:27
of Bamboo users i think for the majority
5:30
of people still looking to invest in the
5:31
Bamboo ecosystem we'll just use Wi-Fi at
5:34
least then we can have access to all the
5:36
remote printing and monitoring including
5:38
a live view of the machine thanks to the
5:40
built-in camera and the handy app and I
5:42
say people willing to invest because yes
5:44
I'm aware of the lockdown since the last
5:46
firmware update to the X1 if you want my
5:49
opinion on that I don't think it'll add
5:51
value so I'll just say check out the
5:53
sensible look at the Bamboo Labs drama
5:55
video from Teaching Tech because my
5:57
opinion is exactly what he said anyway
6:00
USB port whilst this is handier for
6:02
physical file transfer than an SD card
6:05
having a drive sticking out here which
6:07
you need to do in order to record things
6:08
like time-lapses is a lot less discreet
6:12
and it can get in the way of removing
6:14
the lid especially when it's mounted in
6:16
places like racking such as I have it
6:18
i'm genuinely worried I'm going to
6:20
accidentally break this socket at some
6:22
point and I honestly want to know am I
6:24
alone in this winge are you happy they
6:26
changed it to USB or would you rather
6:28
they stuck with SD cards because I'm in
6:31
the latter camp on that one and for the
6:33
price of this they could have given us
6:34
both but I'm not just here to on
6:36
bamboo this is an objective view at the
6:38
printer there are a ton of features I
6:40
love there's fixes for a lot of
6:42
annoyances from the P1 and X1 range
6:44
whilst at the same time it's taken on
6:46
some of the upgrades we also saw in the
6:48
A1 series and this prints every material
6:52
I threw at it like an absolute dream
6:54
i'll show more of this later but if you
6:56
need any solid validation of that
6:58
statement now before we continue Aurora
7:01
Tech arrest my case so here's the things
7:03
I do like i love the mechanical vents on
7:05
the top and on the rear no longer do I
7:07
need to take off the top glass when
7:09
printing PLA and this massively helps to
7:12
dampen any mechanical noises when
7:14
printing and I also love that the
7:16
printer has a big chamber heater in the
7:17
back which helps to start warming the
7:19
chamber faster when printing materials
7:21
like ABS which I actually bothered to do
7:24
on this printer because well I needed
7:26
some dry boxes that wouldn't melt or
7:28
warp like my old ones did when using the
7:30
AMS's heater to dehumidify them and
7:33
daftly I ended up printing the ones for
7:34
the old AMS first so I ended up having
7:37
to print another set for the new AMS
7:39
whoops it's not my biggest mistake and
7:42
you'll know that if you've followed this
7:43
channel for a while anyway I'll come
7:44
back to talking about the hardware of
7:46
the AMS2 itself as a separate device but
7:49
another critique I do have is the
7:51
seemingly arbitrary limit on how you
7:53
actually connect these and how many you
7:55
can connect now the actual connection is
7:58
simple from the six pin port in the back
8:00
you just connect up your first AMS unit
8:02
and then that connects to the next one
8:04
and you daisy chain all the rest in
8:05
sequence and this printer has two
8:07
nozzles and on the back of the printer
8:09
is two PTFE inlet tubes but we'll come
8:12
on to the dual nozzle thing in a bit to
8:14
connect the actual PTFE tubes if you're
8:16
using multiple AMS units you can either
8:18
have one AMS to each tube or if you're
8:20
having more AMS units then you need to
8:23
use these couplers that they released
8:24
for the A1 range but the older hubs will
8:27
work if you've got some of those spare
8:29
now when it's connected the printer will
8:31
actually feed filament through each one
8:33
sequentially and automatically detect
8:35
which unit goes to which nozzle and it
8:38
is the simple like this which
8:41
demonstrates only the bamboo level of
8:43
engineering that keeps them well ahead
8:45
of the curve other companies do not do
8:48
this stuff to help you out unless
8:50
somebody like Bamboo has done it first
8:52
nobody even bothers to do these
8:54
convenience things and this is just one
8:56
of countless conveniences with this
8:58
printer but again we're talking about
9:00
the negative stuff so you've got this
9:03
weird limit of four AMS or AMS2s not
9:06
four of each you can mix and match the
9:08
new or the old ones but the limit is
9:10
four maximum and then after that you can
9:12
connect up to eight of the new little
9:14
AMS HTs and that gives you a maximum
9:17
load of 24 individual reels of filament
9:20
at once now they say 25 if you include
9:23
the external spool holder like anybody's
9:26
doing that it is an awkward limit on a
9:28
system that we've come to expect has few
9:31
limits with bamboo if you assume the
9:33
printer can do it it typically does but
9:36
not here i know the idea of eight AMS
9:38
units and 32 colors is likely to be
9:41
beyond overkill but some people out
9:43
there are going to want to do this just
9:45
for the sake of it and surely Bamboo
9:48
should be doing it just for the flex
9:50
that you can anyway I tried my printer
9:53
first by using the external spool holder
9:55
which I'm happy to see just press fits
9:57
onto the back without screws and it
9:59
leaves both the real and PTFE tube
10:01
easily accessible from the left hand
10:03
side i also attached the new AMS2 to the
10:06
other nozzle but then I moved on to
10:08
attach my old original AMS to the other
10:11
nozzle giving me eight colors across two
10:14
nozzles and I've said a few times that I
10:16
am not the biggest fan of multiolor
10:18
prints due to the waste of both time and
10:20
material but there is a key reason I
10:22
like the two AMS setup here which I feel
10:25
really should be a standard combo
10:27
offering from Bamboo but I'll come back
10:29
to why after I talk about my absolute
10:32
biggest gripe with this printer and if
10:34
you've already seen reviews on this
10:36
machine you can probably guess what it
10:37
is yeah it's the bloody bill plate if
10:40
you don't already know the build volume
10:42
of this machine is advertised as being
10:45
350x 320x 325 now Bamboo were one of the
10:51
first to give us a nice sensible cubed
10:53
volume on all of their printers and lock
10:56
that down as a standard across all but
10:59
one in the range we now have a printer
11:01
where no axis is equal to another except
11:04
when it is so the 350 on the X-axis
11:08
that's across left to right is actually
11:10
only 325 mm per nozzle so the left
11:14
nozzle can access 325 mm from the left
11:17
side of the plate and the right nozzle
11:18
can access 325 mm from the right meaning
11:21
the true printable area for both nozzles
11:24
which is you're going to want to use
11:26
both that's why you bought a printer
11:27
with two nozzles but that's only 300 mm
11:30
that's what you're going to be squeezing
11:32
everything into most of the time just to
11:34
avoid the awkward limits beyond this
11:37
there's workarounds but I don't want to
11:39
do workarounds like if you want to have
11:41
the same color over the full width you
11:43
can do it but you need two reels of the
11:45
same filament and you need to piss about
11:47
in the slicer awkwardly coloring in the
11:50
part that crosses beyond the limit or in
11:52
the middle or something which
11:53
unfortunately then results in extended
11:55
print times only a bit but it does
11:57
extend them for nozzle switches and it
11:59
also causes seams between the two nozzle
12:02
joints and in my case it wasn't the
12:04
strongest join i expect there are better
12:06
and stronger ways to do this rather than
12:08
just painting a straight line like I did
12:10
but this is something that I think
12:12
Bamboo needs to work out for us because
12:15
that kind of is what Bamboo do most of
12:18
the time it's weird that they haven't
12:20
done it here yet i expect this is coming
12:23
but when so whilst I love dual Nozzle
12:25
and I really do love dual Nozzle talk
12:28
about why in a minute after a few weeks
12:30
of use I'm still not sure that I love it
12:32
enough to have to deal with this amount
12:35
of kathuffle now Bamboo do a decent
12:39
enough job in the slicer of at least
12:41
informing you of these limits and not
12:44
slicing outside of the boundaries but I
12:47
just don't like having such a powerful
12:49
product being given all of this build
12:51
space with such obvious limits it's like
12:55
being served five desserts after dinner
12:57
but being told I can only eat four
12:59
unless I sit on the other side of the
13:00
table for the last one and I'm sure
13:02
that's not just me so can I at least get
13:04
a hell yeah in the comments for anyone
13:06
who agrees with this it seriously pisses
13:08
me off like honestly couldn't Bamboo
13:10
have just made this printer a couple of
13:12
centimeters larger in each direction
13:14
just to give us a consistent volume and
13:16
hit that 350 mm we all wanted if not
13:20
expected especially since there's other
13:23
machines on the market that have given
13:24
us that for a lot less money now sure
13:27
they aren't bamboo quality machines and
13:29
don't have that user experience but I
13:32
genuinely expect Bamboo will lose sales
13:34
to their competitors because this is now
13:37
comparably smaller and comparably more
13:40
awkward would anyone really have
13:42
complained if this printer was just a
13:43
little bit larger now speaking of the
13:45
dimensions of the unit there's so much
13:47
plastic in here i've praised other
13:49
machines for being more open internally
13:52
because the one problem I see with
13:54
maintenance is lubricating lead screws
13:56
there's a text guide online but I'd
13:58
really love a video explaining how I'm
14:00
meant to get my hand in here to access
14:02
the screw right at the back in order to
14:04
thoroughly clean it and regrease it but
14:06
at least the hotends once again got a
14:08
removable face plate for easy access and
14:10
I'm so happy to see the nozzle style
14:12
from the A1 has now come to the H2D this
14:15
is so easy to just magnetically mount or
14:18
unmount a nozzle so playing around with
14:20
different sizes is far easier than it
14:22
has been before and right now you do
14:25
need to have matching nozzles on each
14:26
side but Bamboo have confirmed they are
14:28
working on asymmetrical configurations
14:31
and I absolutely love the idea of having
14:33
a big nozzle for fast printing but
14:35
switch to a smaller one for detail i
14:37
think this really opens the door to
14:39
improving print quality whilst
14:41
maintaining reasonable print times that
14:44
in my opinion really does have the
14:46
potential to be the next big innovation
14:48
in printing yeah we've had dual color
14:50
before but dual nozzles of different
14:52
sizes i'd like to see where this goes
14:55
more than anything now I was talking
14:56
about dual nozzle and why I love it what
14:58
I like most right now is having a nozzle
15:00
for PLA and a nozzle for a dedicated
15:03
support material so PVA and the
15:06
difference on the underside of supported
15:07
models versus models without a support
15:09
interface is night and day i honestly
15:13
don't think I can go back to a single
15:15
nozzle setup now and if you're doing
15:17
this specifically or maybe dual color
15:19
like two colors only to give an idea of
15:22
the time this saves I sliced up this
15:24
Doom: The Dark Ages helmet a few ways
15:26
you can do this yourself in the slicer
15:27
with your own models if you want to see
15:29
the difference it's free download the
15:31
slicer and have a play but this helmet
15:33
without support interface would have
15:35
taken 2 days and 4 hours to add these
15:38
interface layers only added an extra 4
15:41
hours that's only an 8% increase in time
15:44
and with no wasted material being
15:46
flushed between layers now yes you've
15:48
still got a purge tower but I'm going to
15:50
figure out how to make this smaller i've
15:52
done it before i just forgot to do it
15:53
here now if I'd wanted to do this same
15:55
thing on a single nozzle it would have
15:57
taken more than 3 days with 16 hours
16:00
spent flushing nearly half a reel of
16:02
filament so there's your impact right
16:04
there and just for fun I also sliced up
16:07
this helmet to see the impact if I
16:08
printed it in full color and yeah I'm
16:10
not printing this i'll stick with the
16:12
gray one and just paint it because
16:14
painting things is my hobby it's not the
16:16
printers it's the things I do with the
16:18
prints afterwards and I also think
16:20
that's the majority of people who are
16:22
watching my videos but speaking of
16:24
multiolor what I love with this dual
16:26
nozzle setup goes back to the slicer you
16:29
see when you slice multiolor prints the
16:31
slicer actually defaults to filament
16:33
saving mode and tells you where like in
16:35
which AMS you should put each color
16:37
material in order to save both time and
16:40
material during the print now you can of
16:42
course and I have a few times switch to
16:45
convenience mode where it just lets you
16:47
leave all the reels where they are in
16:49
the different AMS units and that's if
16:51
you prefer to just not get off your ass
16:53
and move things around but speaking of
16:55
the AMS or now the AMS2 Pro which is an
17:00
interesting name right why is it both
17:01
two and pro are we expecting an AMS2
17:04
nonpro if so I suspect they're going to
17:07
ditch the heating element which I've got
17:09
to say is incredibly handy if you've got
17:11
older filament that could have just
17:13
become damp stick it in your AMS tell
17:15
the printer to dry it and it'll actually
17:17
walk you through the process but this
17:19
does take hours and is typically going
17:22
to be an overnight job when you start it
17:24
the two vents on the AMS will open to
17:26
push air through the system of what is
17:29
typically a sealed chamber and that is
17:31
so you can get the moisture out because
17:34
they're right in what they said if you
17:35
just heat up a sealed chamber that will
17:38
just warm the moisture in the air it
17:40
won't release it and whilst the printer
17:41
will monitor moisture level I'd
17:44
recommend printing some of these
17:45
desicant bead holders and sticking a
17:47
hydrometer in it at least then it'll
17:49
keep your filament dryer longer in the
17:51
AMS and I'll put a link to these and the
17:53
desicant in the description because I
17:55
got asked about them loads in a previous
17:57
video but I've got to be honest the
17:58
actual models themselves there's a ton
18:00
of designs of AMS dry boxes on Maker
18:03
World this new AMS now gives us much
18:05
better access to the internal PTFE tubes
18:08
which will massively help when
18:09
unclogging blockages in there and the
18:11
thing I need to point out in terms of
18:13
usability is that everything is
18:16
connected via accessible push fit
18:18
connectors and this also extends to the
18:21
printer too unlike the XMPP series where
18:24
we needed to print a variety of special
18:25
tools just so we can get tubes
18:27
disconnected we can finally get
18:30
immediate access to these components
18:32
because boy was that old way frustrating
18:35
i've really not got much to pick apart
18:36
with the AMS2 it's a solid upgrade all
18:39
round one thing to be aware of is that
18:41
if you are using the heating function
18:43
only the first AMS2 in your chain will
18:46
be powered from the printer if you get
18:48
multiple AMS2s you need a separate power
18:51
supply in order to enable the heating
18:53
function the one thing people will want
18:55
to know is that it's still not any more
18:57
compatible with cardboard spools but
18:59
this gives me chance to show you a trick
19:01
I've been using because I've been buying
19:03
these rolls of Eligu black PLA in boxes
19:05
of 10 because when you buy it that way
19:07
it is super cheap and it works great
19:09
with the generic PLA profile on most
19:12
machines but with these you can
19:14
carefully and I mean carefully tear away
19:17
the side of the spools pull out the
19:18
inner ring and the plastic bamboo spools
19:21
fit perfectly the notch on the bamboo
19:24
spool actually fits perfectly where the
19:26
Eliguous spool holds the back end of its
19:28
reel too although sometimes with
19:30
encouragement so if you like the idea of
19:32
this and saving some money and you'll
19:34
probably need to save some money when
19:35
buying a printer this expensive I'll add
19:37
a link to these filaments in the
19:39
description too but I'm sure it'll work
19:41
with other cardboard spools you're just
19:43
going to have to do it at your own risk
19:45
if you get it wrong you're going to be
19:46
manually winding an entire spool so yeah
19:49
I've got a lot of negative stuff to say
19:51
about the H2D and if you want to add to
19:52
it with your thoughts then please let me
19:54
know of any other issues or anything you
19:56
think I've missed down in the comments
19:58
but overall my conclusion I still love
20:02
it guys i still love it it is my
20:04
favorite printer my favorite printer
20:06
ever because whilst I already have
20:09
bigger printers what I don't have is
20:11
bigger bamboo printers and that bamboo
20:14
name means something because despite all
20:17
of these very valid issues I've pointed
20:20
out bamboo are still very much very very
20:23
much in a league of their own yes that
20:26
build plate is an awkward volume i'm not
20:28
going to let them off for that i think
20:29
it's stupid but the slicer does make it
20:32
clear what the limits are i am
20:34
disappointed that this isn't dual nozzle
20:36
and 350 mm cubed and I'm also
20:40
disappointed for any future bamboo
20:42
machines which is probably going to be a
20:43
H2 basic of some kind that will
20:46
naturally adopt this awkward shape that
20:49
is smaller than the competition and
20:51
whilst this isn't the 350 mil I wanted
20:54
well I wanted 350 because other machines
20:56
have 350 but honestly when I come to use
20:59
it I can still print most of the things
21:01
I want as a single object specifically I
21:04
can now print these prop helmets and
21:05
with a support interface really fast
21:08
which means far less processing work for
21:10
me afterwards so despite its flaws this
21:13
is still the printer I choose because of
21:15
how it works and what it does and I've
21:17
said numerous times that I think user
21:20
experience is far more important than
21:22
raw hardware it's why Apple still has so
21:24
much of a market share for phones now I
21:27
have to caveat because I'm really
21:28
starting to learn just how much my
21:30
personal opinion can have an intrinsic
21:32
effect on influencing viewers i don't
21:35
want you to watch my videos and buy any
21:38
printer because it's the one I would
21:40
choose i hope you've looked through the
21:42
video seen what you're getting at least
21:45
now understand what to expect and can
21:48
make an informed decision about whether
21:50
the features of this or any printer is
21:53
something you want to pay its price for
21:55
and I honestly think using Apple as an
21:57
analogy when comparing Bamboo to other
21:59
machines is one that's becoming more and
22:01
more accurate both are more the
22:03
restricted platform but as history has
22:05
taught us the more restricted platforms
22:08
are typically the more userfriendly but
22:10
what I want from my machines is very
22:13
specifically exactly what bamboo sell
22:15
and we all think what they sell is
22:17
printers right but no yes we buy
22:20
printers but that's not what they sell
22:22
what they sell is convenience now for
22:25
farms and businesses who just want
22:27
bigger printers there are printers out
22:30
there for that in my opinion this isn't
22:32
it this is too expensive it's not open-
22:34
source it's not configurable it's got no
22:36
fleet management it's a bit more
22:38
restricted now with some third-party
22:40
tools not wanting to integrate with this
22:42
ecosystem it doesn't even natively have
22:44
the ability to queue up print jobs and
22:47
there's no freaking Ethernet port but
22:49
all of this for me echoes the exact
22:52
antithesis of what I said in my Prussa
22:54
Core 1 video which you should definitely
22:56
check out there are two types of 3D
22:59
printer user as I've said there's the
23:00
people who like to tinker with printers
23:02
and get into the technology and see
23:03
where it's going and then there's the
23:05
people who like me just want an
23:07
appliance to do other things bamboo have
23:10
clearly picked their lane this echoes
23:13
Bamboo's direction a direction they've
23:15
been going since the A1's came out all
23:17
of the user interface and workflow just
23:19
clearly isn't designed or delivered with
23:22
that in mind this is clearly a
23:24
multi-functional creative tool and I
23:27
think very specifically for individual
23:30
home users people like me whose interest
23:32
is in 3D printing stuff for their
23:34
hobbies not people whose hobby is 3D
23:38
printers having things like Makaker
23:40
World with all its models and ready to
23:42
print profiles on different machines
23:44
Makaker Supply where you can buy the
23:45
hardware to make functional prints
23:47
easily and all with links to the correct
23:50
filaments to use to match colors that
23:52
growing list of makeable projects is
23:54
absolutely awesome and I actually
23:56
printed my wife a Cogsworth clock and my
23:58
kids a card shuffler for our weekly Uno
24:00
games and I also printed some Uno boxes
24:03
for those games oh and by the way this
24:05
is an aside just a tip uno flip
24:08
absolutely amazing no Mercy
24:10
brutal you've got to try them both if
24:12
you like Uno and I'll put links in the
24:14
description anyway all of this stuff and
24:16
the accessibility of it is amazing i
24:18
even printed TPU shoes now screw the H2D
24:22
this is the future right here and before
24:25
anyone says it yes I'm an overweight
24:28
gay-haired 40-year-old man and I will
24:30
look dafted in these but this whole
24:32
channel is my midlife crisis i passed
24:34
looking stupid long ago but yeah even
24:37
with TPU the printer will actually tell
24:39
you to read a detailed guide the first
24:42
time you try and print with it so that
24:43
you don't mess it up because TPU can be
24:46
an absolute at the best of times and I
24:49
know a lot of people are watching this
24:50
going "But you can do that on other
24:52
printers a lot cheaper." Yes of course
24:54
you can do all this cheaper and you only
24:56
need to spend a little time looking for
24:58
the individual parts sourcing filaments
25:00
and getting machine usage support
25:01
through online communities rather than
25:04
having the baseline support from the
25:05
brand to build from or you can pay the
25:08
premium for the convenience that bamboo
25:11
are selling and if people weren't
25:13
willing to pay thousands just for the
25:15
sake of convenience we'd all be riding
25:17
the bus so this is a bigger bamboo it's
25:20
not the bigger bamboo I wanted i don't
25:21
think it's the bigger bamboo any of us
25:23
wanted but it is a bigger bamboo and the
25:26
dual nozzle is awesome all
25:29
printers should have dual nozzles going
25:30
forward so if you watch this if you're
25:32
prepared for it if you can afford it if
25:34
you want to buy what I personally would
25:37
say is the new absolute allround best
25:41
most high- techch printer on the market
25:43
i'll drop an affiliate link below the
25:45
video i will make a commission on that
25:47
at no cost to you that's how I can
25:49
afford to run this channel if you did
25:51
make it this far I want to say well done
25:53
this is one of my longer videos but it's
25:55
also a lot of printer and I mostly
25:57
covered the negative side there's a lot
25:59
more I can say about it if you want more
26:01
videos if you've got questions let me
26:03
know down in the comments but I want to
26:05
finish by reminding you to answer the
26:07
question there are two types of printer
26:10
owners what do we call them to make it
26:12
easier i want to say thanks for watching
26:14
with a huge thanks going to our members
