in this video I'm having a play with my
0:02
fourth 10 inch screen 8K printer
0:05
and despite it being what I think will
0:07
be the last of this format printer or
0:10
review it was actually the first to be
0:12
released
0:13
although I believe there's a slight up
0:15
revision on these printers although it's
0:17
not really disclosed on Frozen's website
0:19
this is more of a REV 2 version of The
0:23
Mighty 8K so that means it boasts a
0:26
couple of new and advanced features that
0:28
some of the other printers don't have
0:30
so if you're new here hi I'm Ross this
0:33
is far Hammer videos and let's go and
0:35
have a play with the Frozen Sonic Mighty
0:38
8K now I'm not the channel that likes to
0:40
go through the unboxing and talking
0:42
about that experience you can see it
0:44
here you take it out of a box and I've
0:46
said the same thing with all of my other
0:47
3D printer reviews
0:49
but this one was different
0:51
now I don't know if it was some kind of
0:52
jealousy that led to this event or just
0:55
how couriers tend to operate nowadays
0:57
but this box did not arrive in the best
0:59
condition it had clearly been dropped on
1:01
one of the corners and on top of that it
1:03
had been left out in the rain or
1:04
somewhere wet for quite a while because
1:06
one of the sides of the box was
1:08
absolutely soaked through and then left
1:11
to dry or at least get to the point of
1:13
damp before it was delivered to my house
1:16
so I could look at this in a negative
1:18
way but it did give me the opportunity
1:20
just like my last Frozen printer to play
1:22
around with disassemble and reassemble
1:25
some of the internals of the printer and
1:27
that showed me the build quality of this
1:29
machine which was absolutely excellent
1:31
and that really is what Frozen do they
1:36
take the existing printer range and you
1:38
can actually sum it all up by saying
1:40
they do what everyone else does they
1:42
just have that little extra of quality
1:46
added to every single aspect of the
1:49
journey now I did want to knock this
1:50
printer for the inclusion of a cheapo
1:52
USB drive that came with it something
1:54
I've knocked all of the 3D printer
1:56
brands for and something I was surprised
1:58
by because my mini 8K actually came with
2:01
a SanDisk one but I quickly realized you
2:04
don't actually need this and every other
2:07
item in the Box was just top quality
2:09
even the included scraper has a laser
2:12
etched Frozen logo across it and yeah
2:15
that has no Tanger benefit but it's just
2:18
that extra level of quality that gives
2:20
you the confidence that these guys are
2:22
putting more effort into their products
2:24
than any other brand
2:26
and that doesn't just stop at the stuff
2:28
included with it
2:30
so on to some of the call out features
2:32
of this printer that make it different
2:33
from the rest spec wise its print volume
2:36
is 21.8 by 12.3 by 23.5 centimeters
2:41
to operate it you have a five inch high
2:44
resolution touch panel that's really
2:46
really responsive and this really is
2:48
high resolution unfortunately this is
2:51
the part that I needed to replace in
2:52
order to get the printer working due to
2:54
The Courier damage the most important
2:57
feature is obviously the 8K 10 inch LCD
3:00
screen which is used for curing your
3:02
Prints but I have to stress here that
3:04
this doesn't come with a screen
3:06
protector there's no glass overlay
3:07
you're literally looking at the
3:09
polarizer so I highly recommend you get
3:12
one in case you get fingerprint
3:13
scratches or worse yet resin on that
3:16
glass if that happens you're looking at
3:19
getting a brand new screen
3:21
and something that none of the 10 inch
3:23
28.5 Micron printers have is the
3:26
inclusion of a built-in webcam this is
3:29
the feature that I believe makes the
3:31
mighty 8K more of a revision too because
3:34
I don't think the original Mighty 8ks
3:36
actually shipped with a webcam oh and
3:38
don't you worry I'm definitely going to
3:40
talk about how this webcam is integrated
3:42
later on it's also worth noting that the
3:45
printer supports a Wi-Fi connection and
3:47
you can configure this on the UI but the
3:50
way this is set up on the actual printer
3:52
it's not internal it's just a USB Wi-Fi
3:54
dongle
3:55
you also have the option of a direct
3:57
ethernet connection if that's available
3:59
to you but the benefit of either of
4:01
those and the included 3.5 gigabytes of
4:04
memory internally means that you can
4:06
just send prints directly to it and you
4:09
don't actually need the USB drive that
4:11
comes with the printer
4:12
but it is worth noting this is the only
4:14
one of these printers where the USB port
4:16
is on the front and I know some people
4:18
are fine you can use an extension cable
4:20
but I've got a few printers and if I
4:22
haven't got a few printers maybe I've
4:24
got a printer and a wash and gear and I
4:26
want to put things at the sides of my
4:27
printers I can't do that or at least I
4:30
have to space them out if there's a USB
4:32
drive or some kind of extension cable in
4:35
the way so I'm very much in the camp of
4:37
USB plockets on the front please thanks
4:40
Frozen 10 points from me just for that
4:43
so as I mentioned before I had to take
4:45
this printer apart just to get it
4:46
working and when I took it apart not
4:49
only did I notice that the front LCD
4:51
panel had started coming off but half of
4:53
the cables inside had actually been
4:55
pulled out of the sockets and the glue
4:57
had been snapped so I don't know whether
4:59
the couriers were playing football with
5:01
this thing but bloominac it's been
5:03
through an ordeal there's two bolts on
5:05
either side and you can remove these
5:07
with the included Allen keys that come
5:09
with the printer once you've taken those
5:11
four mini bolts out you just pull the
5:13
front plate off and everything's
5:15
accessible from there
5:17
once I finally got this replaced though
5:19
and it actually booted up I was greeted
5:21
with the out of box experience and setup
5:23
and this is exactly where Frozen are
5:27
miles ahead of the competition
5:31
for the last few years printer
5:32
manufacturers have been playing this
5:34
one-up Leapfrog game of who's got the
5:36
bigger printer or the higher resolution
5:38
but I've been saying for a long while
5:40
now that we really don't need that
5:42
anymore at least in the last year since
5:44
we got the mini 8K and anything with a
5:47
22 Micron to a 35 Micron pixel size for
5:50
somebody who prints Miniatures that
5:52
range is more than enough if you're
5:54
wanting something the quality of say
5:56
Games Workshop star models because we
5:59
don't need higher resolution than that
6:00
typically to get the detail that you
6:03
have on those size of models
6:06
but it's the convenience features we
6:08
need things that this does and this
6:11
gives you an out of box experience like
6:13
no other all other printers will give
6:15
you functions like print or raise and
6:17
lower the bed but when you turn this on
6:19
for the first time and you can reset it
6:22
and go through it again and well you're
6:23
going to need to if and when you do a
6:25
firmware update but it actually walks
6:28
you through every step including putting
6:31
the build plate on all the way down to
6:33
leveling it and lowering it testing the
6:35
screen in various ways all the way up to
6:38
printing your actual exposure tests and
6:41
telling you how to validate them and
6:43
tweak your settings accordingly
6:45
if this is your first 3D printer I don't
6:48
think they could make it any simpler
6:50
quite literally rtfm and M is on the
6:55
screen
6:56
and just screaming quality further the
6:58
build player is not only laser etched
7:00
but it's laser etched deeply colored
7:03
it's absolutely gorgeous to look at and
7:06
despite me printing about 20 or even 30
7:08
separate prints on this scraping it with
7:10
a metal scraper I couldn't see any
7:12
scratches or defects in the hardened
7:15
steel surface
7:17
when you're leveling the build plate it
7:19
just attaches to the z-arm with one
7:21
large bolt but it also has the four
7:23
point screw connection which is my much
7:26
preferred method of leveling a build
7:28
plate because it gives you more control
7:30
and these generally tend to be more
7:32
secure than the ballpoint axis that you
7:35
get with the likes of elegoo printers
7:37
one thing the printer doesn't tell you
7:39
which is just something I've learned
7:40
from experience when tightening these
7:42
vaults for the build plate I would
7:44
concentrate on doing it in alternating
7:46
screws so if you start at front left
7:48
then then go to rear right and then
7:50
front right then rear left
7:53
doing it this way and giving it a
7:56
quarter of a turn at a time just
7:58
prevents you from adding too much
7:59
pressure to one side causing it to shift
8:01
out of alignment which is the last thing
8:03
you want you want to secure this once
8:05
and then never have to change it again
8:07
which is pretty much what I did here
8:09
although the first time I did it it was
8:11
a bit too loose whilst it will walk you
8:13
through an exposure test I still prefer
8:16
to do my own personally the one that I
8:18
use by photonstas is just more accurate
8:21
at measuring prints and much faster than
8:23
the one created by Frozen that you print
8:25
on this printer
8:27
but before I jumped onto that I started
8:28
having a play through the menus and
8:30
absolutely everything can be tested in
8:33
here and it's so intuitive you can turn
8:35
the fan on and off test the LCD the
8:37
z-axis or even turn on the camera to
8:40
make sure this is working and get the
8:42
camera's display on the display for the
8:44
printer
8:45
no other printer in this range or any of
8:48
the big brands has this much packed into
8:51
the features of the actual printer
8:53
itself
8:54
it's even got a pretty animation as a
8:56
screensaver when the printer's been left
8:58
idle for some time
9:00
and it improves on basic features like
9:03
the other brands that would have you
9:04
moving the z-axis by multiple increments
9:07
of 10 millimeters at a time this one
9:10
also has that but it includes a sliding
9:12
scale on the right hand side of the
9:14
screen that lets you just drag a bar up
9:16
to the point where you want the z-arm to
9:18
raise to and it'll go to that point I
9:21
honestly can't explain how much of a
9:23
pleasure it was to just use this printer
9:25
and realize that yeah you can do a lot
9:28
more on these LCD screens and operating
9:30
systems that are built in than just a
9:32
few functional buttons so because this
9:35
video is sponsored by Frozen and thanks
9:37
Frozen for the printer don't worry I can
9:39
say what I want to say about it I also
9:41
decided to use the Frozen 8K gray resin
9:44
mainly because
9:46
they've provided it and it was it was
9:48
free
9:49
I've I've made my opinions about this
9:51
resin known so please go and watch my
9:53
other video about that
9:54
but the tldr is I like it it's good for
9:57
Quality just not so much for Miniatures
9:59
if you want to play them in a game
10:00
because it's a bit brittle
10:02
that's the whole story
10:04
still though it's a good video go and
10:06
watch it so I printed off my first
10:08
exposure test and gave it a quick rinse
10:10
in methylated spirits when counting the
10:13
number of holes and posts I noticed that
10:15
there were more posts and holes which is
10:17
telling me that this is over exposing my
10:20
prints and normally I'd print a few of
10:22
these but a lot of people online have
10:24
been saying that the cones of
10:26
calibration by table flip Foundry is an
10:28
absolutely fantastic exposure finder
10:31
specifically if you're printing
10:33
Miniatures because this tests the
10:35
supports more than it actually tests
10:37
exposure being perfectly balanced
10:40
I'll do a separate video explaining why
10:42
Perfect Exposure and best exposure
10:44
aren't always the same thing especially
10:46
for printing Miniatures but for now just
10:48
go with me on this and I'll explain the
10:50
whole point of this exercise at the end
10:52
so I printed a few of these kinds of
10:54
calibration three in fact and the whole
10:56
point is the supports on one side are
10:58
meant to succeed and the supports on the
11:00
other side are meant to fail and that'll
11:02
give you a good balance of exposure
11:04
whilst also showing you the large
11:06
components or at least these cones will
11:08
be able to take the stresses of being
11:10
pulled from the build plate after about
11:12
three prints I determined that 1.5
11:14
seconds was the best exposure time for
11:17
30 Micron layers I'll put my settings up
11:19
on screen but I need to stress that in
11:21
order to achieve the same results as me
11:23
you need the same environment as me so
11:25
my ambient temperature in the room is
11:27
normally around room temperature so give
11:30
or take it's around 20 to 22 degrees but
11:33
sometimes it can drop at night as low as
11:35
15 which is why I try and focus my
11:37
prints during the day
11:39
now after I'd printed these cones of
11:41
calibration a few times I then went and
11:44
reprinted another of the photon Stars
11:46
exposure test at the same time and when
11:49
I counted the posts and the holes on
11:50
these it was ever so slightly
11:52
Overexposed but I had the same number of
11:54
posts as holes telling me that that's a
11:57
good exposure for 3D prints so whilst
12:00
yes the cones of calibration are a
12:01
really good test what puts me off is the
12:04
fact that the photon Stars flat test
12:06
took only 15 minutes to print or 15 to
12:09
20 minutes whereas the cones of
12:11
calibration took one and a half to two
12:13
hours to print so yeah it's a great way
12:16
to validate things but I'm going to
12:18
stick to my flat plate because I can get
12:20
my exposure dialed in much much faster
12:22
printing these but having this dialed in
12:24
my first print bed which was full of
12:26
models was a complete success and this
12:29
included my usual Wolverine bus that I
12:31
like to print in order to compare to
12:33
other printers that one's by draftnia
12:35
Studios and these plague demons are from
12:38
one page rules which which I've hated on
12:40
in the past but I do like their Scots
12:42
and as being an alternative for
12:44
Warhammer they are the go-to
12:47
unsurprisingly the print quality of
12:49
these models is absolutely incredible
12:51
and this is before I've done any
12:53
refinement on the printer this is just
12:55
finding my exposure time slicing it in
12:57
chitty box and clicking print having
13:00
both this resolution and the convenience
13:03
of this build plate size is exactly why
13:05
these are my favorite printers you can
13:07
print the equivalent of a Games Workshop
13:09
Army box on a single build plate and
13:12
then whilst you're painting that you can
13:14
be printing your next three
13:15
now unfortunately my next print was a
13:18
slight failure and what this meant was
13:20
some of the resin actually stayed stuck
13:22
to the bottom of the fep
13:24
okay technically it's PTFE but fep is
13:27
now stuck in my head the clear film that
13:29
goes at the bottom of your vat it was
13:30
stuck to that so this gives me the
13:33
opportunity to share a tip that a few
13:35
people have commented on my previous
13:36
videos
13:37
instead of emptying the whole vat and
13:39
then cleaning it off and disconnecting
13:41
it and then lifting it up and risking
13:43
getting resin everywhere just take a bit
13:45
of old support and put this flat against
13:47
the film at the bottom of your vat make
13:49
sure you push it down slightly and then
13:51
run the LCD test to light up the whole
13:54
screen it think it's normally called vac
13:56
cleaning on some printers or LCD test
13:58
whatever it is just fill up the whole
14:00
screen with light so that the bottom
14:02
layer of resin cures and sticks to this
14:04
piece of support
14:06
all you need to do then is lift it out
14:08
let the excess resin run away and go and
14:11
Chuck that whole piece in the bin you're
14:12
ready to print again
14:14
and another useful tip that was also
14:16
shared on multiple videos and on
14:17
Facebook and various other places
14:19
comments was re-leveling your bed once
14:22
again normally you need to empty out the
14:24
VAR move the vat out the way loosen the
14:26
bed clean off the bed put the paper down
14:28
again nope skip all that you see the
14:31
point of that paper when you initially
14:33
level is just to emulate it being the
14:36
clear film so all you need to do is have
14:39
the clear film between the screen and
14:41
the actual build plate the good thing is
14:43
it's already there
14:45
at the bottom of the vat
14:48
so if you don't mind getting a little
14:49
bit messy I mean you're wearing gloves
14:51
anyway
14:52
just do the leveling task but do it with
14:55
the vat in place make sure before you
14:57
tighten it you push down on the actual
14:59
bed so that the resin trapped under it
15:02
doesn't lift it up a bit but that's it
15:04
you can actually do the leveling with
15:07
the vat in the printer
15:09
so in the last few weeks whilst I've
15:11
been testing this I haven't actually
15:13
removed the vat once I haven't needed to
15:15
and this is my favorite part of being a
15:18
YouTuber getting comments and tips like
15:20
that is something that I haven't come
15:21
across in various groups in the last
15:24
four years
15:25
thanks guys this is why you should
15:28
comment on people's videos
15:30
right so before I get on to the print
15:32
quality and what the final results look
15:34
like
15:35
let's talk about Wi-Fi
15:37
and this webcam
15:39
so the first thing you need to do is get
15:41
this printer connected to your Wi-Fi
15:43
network so make sure you plug in the
15:45
included USB dongle the USB Wi-Fi dongle
15:48
into the back of the printer
15:50
setup is super easy because again it's
15:53
so intuitive just click on network
15:55
select your Wi-Fi network and then put
15:57
in your password as soon as you do that
15:59
you'll be connected to your Wi-Fi
16:01
to send things to the printer just go to
16:04
your Windows computer or Mac go to
16:06
backslash backslash its IP address or
16:09
the printer name and you'll be presented
16:10
with a folder once you log in and your
16:13
username and password are also very
16:15
obvious and clear in the settings and
16:17
then you just drag things into the
16:18
folder from there you'll then be able to
16:20
choose to print them directly from the
16:22
printer's front screen of the interface
16:24
right this webcam
16:28
so when I went to set this up it said
16:30
this feature is not available and it's
16:32
coming in August 2022 well it's now
16:35
February 2023 and I've had this printer
16:39
for a couple of months
16:40
and looking at various Forum posts I
16:43
think it was around November December
16:44
when the firmware was finally released
16:47
that actually gave you access to the
16:49
webcam features of the printer
16:52
and you know the inclusion of a
16:54
webcamina print is a really good idea
16:55
right you should be able to remotely
16:58
check in on it and make sure that things
16:59
are still progressing well and with
17:01
things like the bamboo Labs X1 fdm
17:04
printer you can actually get it to
17:06
create a time lapse with every single 3D
17:08
print it does and upload these to a
17:10
shared Cloud hosting platform for you so
17:13
that you can download and watch them
17:14
because let's be fair 3D time lapses of
17:17
printers is just something really cool
17:19
to look at
17:20
so excited with that potential I decided
17:23
to update the firmware in order to get
17:25
this working and this is fairly
17:27
straightforward you download it from the
17:29
internet you put it on the USB drive and
17:30
you reboot the printer and then choose
17:33
to print the update file so it'll
17:35
actually do an update whilst it's
17:37
restarting and then you print the update
17:39
file the RBF file and this will actually
17:42
perform the firmware update
17:44
unfortunately though the firmware update
17:46
will wipe any settings and configuration
17:48
from the printer so you will need to go
17:50
through that whole startup sequence and
17:52
re-level the bed again
17:54
so if you've already leveled the bed
17:56
it's great that I just showed you that
17:57
tip on how to do it whilst the vat is
17:59
still in the machine
18:01
but once this is complete you can then
18:03
use the Frozen Go app which is another
18:05
app that you can tie to your printer by
18:07
simply downloading the app for your
18:09
phone and scanning a QR code and this
18:11
will let you monitor your print's
18:13
progress and even give you updates to
18:15
say that a print has finished and it
18:18
will keep sending you that update every
18:20
half an hour until you go in and
18:22
acknowledge it
18:23
and as for the camera what does this
18:25
give you
18:26
nope not a time lapse what it means is
18:29
you can go to a print that's active and
18:32
then choose capture and it'll send a
18:34
signal to the printer to capture one
18:36
image and then send that back to your
18:39
phone
18:41
yay
18:43
so okay it's already not the best
18:45
feature but to make things worse this is
18:48
only good if you've got a bright enough
18:50
light in the rest of your room or a
18:52
light pointing through the UV filter
18:54
that you know is commonly known as the
18:56
lid
18:57
if like me you go to bed at night and
19:00
turn off all the lights in your house
19:01
then when you actually try and take a
19:04
photo and look at this you can't see a
19:06
single thing and the same is true even
19:09
if you've got bright lights in the room
19:10
but you're printing a very large object
19:13
it just blocks all of the light from the
19:15
camera so the best you can get is a bit
19:18
of a silhouette so whilst the the
19:20
concept's good this bit's kind of
19:22
feedback from Frozen that sorry guys I
19:25
know that the printer has never actually
19:26
raised in price it's the same price now
19:28
but people are going to be looking at
19:30
this printer thinking some of the money
19:32
they're spending on it because it is
19:33
quite expensive it's the price is fair I
19:36
get that but it is still expensive and
19:39
people will look at spending the money
19:40
on this thinking why am I paying for a
19:43
camera that has very little to no use
19:47
it it really wasn't worth including for
19:51
this much value if you want to deliver
19:53
something with this the possibilities
19:55
are exciting and endless but deliver it
19:58
or don't include it at all sorry guys so
20:02
for the print quality well first up I'm
20:05
going to show you the Wolverine model
20:06
that I always print and I'm going to say
20:08
the same thing I've said with all of
20:10
these 28.5 Micron printers you can
20:12
hardly tell the difference between any
20:14
of them nor can you tell the difference
20:16
between it and something printed on the
20:19
22 Micron printer which is the Sonic
20:21
mini 8K
20:22
don't get me wrong the differences are
20:25
there but you really need to zoom in to
20:27
see them so what's the point well to
20:31
point that out I've actually printed
20:33
some Miniatures which is the whole point
20:35
of this channel anyway
20:37
so I splice together some parts from
20:40
atlan Forge to make this bust of what
20:43
looks like a Space Marine but it's not a
20:45
Space Marine because if it was a Space
20:47
Marine that would be an IP breach so
20:49
this isn't a Space Marine it's a Future
20:52
warrior who fights in space with
20:55
shoulder pauldrons and a big chest it's
20:58
not an eagle is it it's a bull with
21:00
wings but the point is I wanted to make
21:02
something that was relative to the sort
21:04
of quality that you want to compare to
21:06
and may want to print yourself and then
21:08
for fun I stuck my head on it which was
21:11
something I scanned using the revo Point
21:13
pop 2 which actually comes bundled with
21:16
this printer so watch out for a future
21:18
video on that and I've actually printed
21:20
over 70 of these so that I can review
21:22
the Army painter speed paints 2.0 in
21:26
various colors in something that looks
21:28
like well it's relative to something you
21:30
would paint with various textures and
21:32
cloths on it
21:34
so I printed these in three different
21:36
ways the first one was raw I then
21:38
printed it with two times anti-aliasing
21:40
I then printed it with two times
21:42
anti-aliasing and two times image blur
21:44
but when you compare the three models
21:46
from a just normal arms distance or even
21:49
holding them close to your head I
21:51
actually got them mixed up just trying
21:53
to film this part of the video you can't
21:55
really tell much of a difference at all
21:57
but when you go in with a macro lens you
22:00
can start to see some of the voxel lines
22:02
that are printed and are apparent on the
22:05
rounded surfaces because it builds up
22:07
squares in layers
22:09
as we apply anti-aliasing these get
22:11
softened and then when we apply image
22:14
blur as well these are all but
22:16
eradicated but if you look on things
22:18
like the lower part of the Torso or on
22:20
the shoulder pads or even the face
22:22
itself you can see that as we add
22:24
anti-aliasing an image blur it actually
22:27
softens all these out and all but
22:29
eradicates them nothing but the tiniest
22:32
and thinnest of paint brushes would pick
22:34
this out and only then would they
22:36
actually come into account if you are
22:38
doing techniques like dry brushing or
22:41
washers because the washers will go into
22:43
the recesses and the dry brushes will
22:45
pick out the extremities so you can
22:47
reduce these significantly but if you go
22:50
much further than this I think The Sweet
22:52
Spot really is two times that image blur
22:54
and two times anti-aliasing any further
22:57
and you will start to really soften the
22:59
detail on them which for this scale of
23:01
miniature isn't too bad because you can
23:03
always paint it back in but really I
23:06
don't think you should go any further
23:07
than this because if you do then what is
23:10
the point of having a printer with this
23:12
much detail in it you can get the same
23:14
from a 35 Micron printer like the Sonic
23:16
mini 4K
23:18
and whilst yeah look you may be looking
23:20
at this printer and not be interested in
23:22
printing Miniatures but I would still
23:24
argue that if you can print Miniatures
23:26
and get them down to this level of
23:28
detail anything that you can print
23:29
larger than that problems like layer
23:31
lines and voxel lines will be much less
23:33
of a problem anyway so if you start with
23:36
Miniatures everything else is just
23:38
scaling up for me though I've scaled
23:40
down and I've actually printed this head
23:42
which is compatible with Warhammer Space
23:45
Marines and various other things and yes
23:47
it is my head quite narcissistically but
23:50
I'm off to adapt to cons soon and I'm
23:52
going to be taking two or three bags of
23:53
these with me that's over 2 000 heads
23:56
which will be fun for giving away and
23:58
also for a future video so if you want
24:01
to come and pick up one of these Free
24:02
Space Marine heads and you're at
24:04
adepticon then just come and see me I'll
24:06
be over at the artist Opus booth and
24:07
helping them demo their dry brushes and
24:10
that's all guys please let me know what
24:12
you think down in the comments is this a
24:13
printer you're interested in is it
24:15
overpriced I don't think it's overpriced
24:17
I think it's worth it for the price it
24:18
is but is this beyond your budget of
24:21
what you wanted to spend for what you
24:23
get out of this printer or is it right
24:25
on the money and exactly what you're
24:26
looking for let me know down in the
24:28
comments and please give thanks to our
24:30
patrons who you can see up on the screen
24:31
now perhaps consider joining them and
24:33
you can get your name up in lights too
24:35
and it also helps us making future
24:37
content for this channel thanks again
