I bought this printer about a month back as my first printer. Am completely new to 3D printing. But for beginner on budget this printer takes the cake 🎂.
Absolutely loved thus printer.

One tip I want to give is to layer in 0.4mm increments. Your printer head prints in 0.4mm and stepper motors follow that (also 0.4mm). So don't use 1.0, but go with 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 etc. It creates much better prints and increases the speed ;)

Sorry you’re going through tough stuff. My wife’s a psychologist and I’m glad you are putting yourself out there to take some stigma out of getting mental health help. Best to you, I’m sure your move will be exciting and scary. Can’t wait to see where you’re going and what it’ll bring to the channel. You’re doing a great job. Hang in there. All the best! Now
I’ve watched and what a great primer! I know nothing about 3D printing but definitely want to get into it soon.

My tip for 3D printing parts for RC is to try a slightly higher temperature and slower print feed. And when fixing holes print undersize, do not use a drill to make then bigger, use a reamer, because it doesn't stress the material nearly so much and won't snatch into the sides. If you only have a drill, hold the part firmly and spin the drill backwards as you slowly push it into the hole.

The catch is that it is a Creality product, they release their printers when they are in the beta stage and rely on the community to fix the faults, or in their K series printers keep coming up with revisions of parts until one actually works correctly.
With any newly released 3D printer I would advise potential purchasers to wait 3-6 months to enable the community to figure out what is wrong with the printer as there always is a problem somewhere

I currently have 3 x ender 3 pro's and have just bought this as a 4th machine.
The difference in tech in just a few years is amazing.

Hoping better things are on the way for you. As for the 3D printer, I'm still using an original Ender 3 that I have fully upgraded. I've learned so much this way, though it has cost a lot more. I've had it for about 3 - 4 years now, and I still use it all the time for hobby stuff, etc. The feature list VS price point on this model looks pretty great ! As for software, etc., someone will have more options out very quickly, as this is going to sell well.

[crssbo]

I'm sorry to hear of your current situation. You are a cheerful, radiant nature and I am sure things will get better. I'm an early millennial and in the last few years lots of peers "confessed" that they have issues, negative thoughts, unhealthy habits and so on. Which makes me feel better because I'm in the same boat lol. RC and 3d printsling saved my sanity quite often lol. And I'm even debating whether to buy the KE or bambulab A1. Thanks for this great video 🤗

This presentation is probably the best demonstration of this model that I've seen. It "put me in the driver's seat" about assembly and operation as well as possible short of actually having the unit. I probably will be ordering one by mid May. I've been on and off using a tiny original Ender (150mm x 150mm) for years; the cheapest way in 2017 to see if 3D printing is a thing for me.

Too funny to see you doing 3D printer now. My wife has one and loves it, she makes a lot but, she not yet done any for my RC cars stuff needed. I did not use my RC cars last year, I got into eBike. Now into indoor plants. That was good what you had done so far with 3D printing. Amazon what ones make now. Good to see you back from me doing RC. Thanks!

[LehtusBphreeflyFPV]

Thank you for the information about better help. I currently go to mental health myself and bring into FPV and 3D printing it keeps me happier in life when everything else seems to bring me down. But good therapy is what I do love going to and taking out my feelings. Thank you for this video you got my sub. I look forward to seeing more of what you have to offer. RC & FPV 4 LIFE

So sorry to hear about you going through tough times. It so important to be able to talk to someone when in need. I grew up in a home where my mom (now retired) was a psychiatrist and psychologist and worked with many people over a long career. She always explained to me growing up about the importance of talking to someone close or to a professional when help is needed. We are all human and no one is perfect and the importance of being able to talk is so important. I really love your channel and I consider you one of the best RC reviewers on Youtube. I've been following you on Youtube for many years and really enjoy your content. I also just got into 3D printing as well and enjoying your 3D printing videos. I hope everything goes well, and remember to take time for yourself as well, and thank you so much for everything you do.

RC Girl! I love your videos and content! Your videos have helped me many times with build kits as well as items to buy or not buy! Appreciate your time and knowledge and excitement of the sport. Cheers from Alaska!!
