This is just going to be a quick one
0:01
today. If you missed the last Hoopat
0:03
video, first of all, how dare you? But
0:06
second, it doesn't matter. Here's a
0:07
quick refresher. The original Hoopat
0:09
replaces your stock VAT and gives you a
0:11
way to swap release film without
0:13
swearing, stripping bolts, or losing the
0:14
will to live. No more unscrewing nearly
0:17
30 or more tiny bolts that always fall
0:19
into the most unreachable corner of your
0:21
worktop. No trimming feep, no alignment,
0:24
no stress. Just flip the clips, drop in
0:26
a pre-cut sheet, snap it shut. Done. You
0:29
can spend more time opening a bag of
0:31
Haribo than installing this thing. The
0:33
hoopat has genuinely made one of the
0:35
worst parts of resin printing, the
0:37
bloody film swap, almost enjoyable.
0:40
Almost. Now, since that last video
0:42
dropped, I got more than a few comments
0:44
from people with a little too much
0:46
confidence, saying something like,
0:48
"Mate, that's an absolute waste of
0:50
money. I can change normal FEP in under
0:52
5 minutes." Okay, fine. Please show me
0:55
how. Seriously, tag me, DM me, carry a
0:58
pigeon me a time lapse because if you
1:00
can go from a fully mounted vat to a
1:03
cleaned, swapped, tensioned, and
1:04
reinstalled film in 5 minutes or less,
1:08
yeah, I genuinely want to know what kind
1:10
of timebending sorcery you're performing
1:12
because I can't do it. And so many other
1:15
people have echoed this. So, please, I'm
1:18
not saying you're lying. I'm saying show
1:20
me how. But here with this video
1:22
evidence, I installed the Hoopat in
1:24
under 90 seconds and I messed it up
1:27
halfway through. Look, I'm not trying to
1:28
have a go. The point is, I'm still
1:31
willing to bet that this beats the best
1:33
times anyone out there can do whilst I
1:37
was actively failing. Now, if you don't
1:39
like this, cool, don't buy it. But let's
1:41
not pretend this isn't a great
1:43
convenience feature. And if convenience
1:45
wasn't so valuable to so many of us,
1:47
we'd still be hand cranking car windows
1:49
and rewinding VHS tapes. So, please try
1:52
it. And while you're filming yourself to
1:54
see if you can do a FEP change in 5
1:55
minutes or less, let's talk about this
1:57
video sponsor because it's not Chitu
1:59
Systems. They just sent me the thing to
2:01
make the video on. These next guys
2:03
actually paid me to show off their
2:04
stuff. And if these guys are good enough
2:06
for the likes of Lionus to promote, then
2:08
they're more than good enough for me.
2:10
Flexispot sent over their C7 Max
2:12
ergonomic chair and E7 Plus standing
2:15
desk. Both built for long hours of
2:17
comfort and proper support. Whether
2:18
you're working, printing, or just parked
2:20
in front of your screen for way too
2:22
long, the C7 Max has a fully adjustable
2:24
headrest, back rest, tilt, seat depth,
2:27
and 5D armrests that basically move in
2:29
every direction you want. It's built to
2:32
support your lower back, and the cushion
2:33
blends latex and memory foam to stay
2:35
comfy over long sessions. And the frame
2:38
is designed to remain stable during use,
2:40
including when fully reclining. Now,
2:43
pair that with the E7 Plus, which is a
2:45
steel frame, four-legg standing desk
2:46
that can lift up to 540 lb, which is
2:49
just under 250 kilos in real numbers.
2:53
And the bit they haven't paid me to say
2:54
is, yeah, I was quite impressed with the
2:56
stability even at full height. And it's
2:58
even got height presets to quickly
3:00
switch between sitting and standing. And
3:02
here's how both look together in a
3:03
pseudo real workspace. And I say pseudo
3:05
reel because it's before I inevitably
3:07
cram it with clutter. Flexispot offers a
3:10
variety of color options and worktop
3:11
veneers, too. So, you can match it to
3:13
your setup and still pretend you're
3:15
organized for the first hour or so that
3:16
you use it. With Flexis Spot, you get a
3:18
30-day return policy, a 10-year warranty
3:20
on the chair, and 15 years on the desk
3:22
frame. So, if you're watching a 3D
3:24
printing video, but somewhere in the
3:26
back of your mind thinking, I'd love a
3:28
standing desk or a new chair, here's one
3:30
you may not have known about that you
3:32
can now consider. Check out
3:34
flexispot.com for more info. And there's
3:36
also discount codes in the description
3:38
if you fancy picking one up. Anyway,
3:40
back to it. Here's what makes the X4H
3:42
version of the Hoopat special. If you
3:45
hadn't guessed it already, the H means
3:47
heater. So, this brings back the heater
3:50
for the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K. Now, as you
3:53
probably know, if you're using this
3:54
machine, the stock VAT has a heater in
3:56
the rim. But when you swap over to a
3:58
Hoopat, you lose the feature entirely.
4:00
And let's be honest, the heater is kind
4:02
of the key feature of having a Saturn 4
4:04
Ultra 16K. Wow, that printer needs a
4:06
shorter name. Suffers 16.
4:10
Wow. Huh. With that kind of portman
4:12
acronym, I could probably get a job in
4:13
marketing for Chu Systems. Anyway, that
4:16
missing heater function was one of the
4:18
reasons that I and many others wouldn't
4:20
use the Hoopat on that machine. But now,
4:22
no reason not to. This version gives us
4:25
all of the original hoopack convenience
4:27
and keeps the resin nice and warm so it
4:29
flows better, prints better, and sticks
4:31
like it's meant to. And yes, the Saturn
4:33
4 Ultra 16K is one of those printers
4:35
that many of us love to hate right
4:38
before we go and buy one anyway. It
4:40
crams in literally every feature
4:42
possible. 16K mono screen, he adv
4:44
time-lapse camera, flip over lid,
4:46
onboard multi-exposure tests, and fast
4:48
print speeds. All it's lacking is an
4:50
easily exchangeable screen and it has a
4:52
build plate sillier than the name
4:54
Hoopat. But honestly, find me a printer
4:56
nowadays that isn't dafted or stupid in
4:58
some way. The Hoopat X4H improves the
5:01
package further. Like why would you keep
5:03
wrestling with bolts and tension rings
5:05
when you can just not. So yeah, short
5:08
one today just to say this exists and
5:10
makes the Saf 16K better. And also now
5:13
I've got a standing desk. If you want
5:15
anything shown in this video, there will
5:17
be affiliate links in the description.
5:19
Click those before you buy and I'll make
5:21
a commission at no cost to you. That's
5:22
how I fund the channel. But what I love
5:25
here, just as a close, is that Chiu
5:27
Systems actually listened. And that
5:29
doesn't happen often in this space.
5:31
Usually, it's just new printer, more
5:33
pixels, please clap. But here, Chu
5:36
Systems took something good and made it
5:38
better and available to more people. So
5:40
now, if only we can get these or
5:42
something like them for the GK3 printers
5:44
or the Hegears machines or the Athena 2.
5:47
and we won't know if we don't ask. So,
5:49
what would you like to see a Hoopat on?
5:51
Let me know in the comments. If you
5:52
don't already own a Hoopat and you use
5:54
the Ultra 16K, do you now want to
5:56
upgrade it with one of these? Again, let
5:58
me know that in the comments, too. And
6:00
finally, if you can genuinely swap a
6:02
full FETP sheet the old way properly in
6:05
5 minutes or less, bolts and all, drop
6:08
me a video, please. I'll feature it.
6:10
I'll react to it. I'll probably cry a
6:12
bit. The one thing left to say is I
6:14
don't know the price of this thing yet.
6:16
I know the last one was pretty
6:17
expensive. I don't know what this one's
6:19
going to be. So again, once I've got it,
6:21
click the affiliate link down below, go
6:22
to the page, see the price, let me know
6:24
what you think. Is the X4H worth it now
6:27
that it's got a heater? Oh, and I forgot
6:29
to say, hi, this is Faux Hammer Videos.
6:32

6:33
