After my last 3d print garden vlog ya'll made it very clear that I needed to get a thermal label printer, so I picked one of those up as well as an air quality monitor!

Diode lasers work on the visible light spectrum and will more likely burn plastic than mark it. They’re not likely to mark white, blue or orange as the light doesn’t get absorbed without additives in the plastic. You should also test the plastics for harmful chemicals before engraving them. For safer operation and better marking look into a Fiber or UV laser, which granted can be pricy. You may be better off building something into the first layer of your models and doing a filament change to a different color.

Very nice Golden State Warriors hoodie. Very good video.

Could you try some kind of powder over the white pla to fuse it into the surface with the laser power?

Curious to see what the air quality is if you turn the ventilation off and/or open those doors.

Bro what lens is this? I know your room is not that deep, but that first lens makes it look gigantic

3d printing is cool and all.. but bro, go over your camera gear and the top down shot... the lighting is clean!!!

A doctors mask will do nothing. You need an actual respirator

Good content, but I had to stop watching. I'm running printers here and the clicking of the music was driving me crazy. The volume of the background music is also too high. Chill that out a bit and I think your videos will be much more watchable.
