Don't have a 3D printer. but nice to see MUB HQ is using one 😀

Great video. Better turning the spool to unload so not a big tangled mess.

Looks like your white filament is tangled 😉 As David said, never let the filament end loose. I too often don't take the time to secure the end into a hole onin the spool, only to see after I start a print that the filament is tangled, and the extruder has some trouble to pull it. No big deal on these Bambu Lab printer, simply cut the filament while printing and untangle it. If you don't finish on time, don't worry, the machine will detect that there is no more filament and wait for you to insert new filament. I'm often able to untangle it, then put it back in the tube, pushing it against the the cut until the feeder catches it and keep printing.. Practice make be good at that I think 😁

Interesting how you can change the filament and the printer guides you step by step. I assume this printer wont allow colour changes mid print, say you were printing a black panel and wanted a blue logo in middle? Or could you print a black background and then print over the top in white "Mike's Unboxing"? Thanks for sharing Mike and Kath 🐈👍

You can add a pause at a certain layer in the slicer. The printer will start to pruny, and at the pause, it will stop. You then change filament and resume the print
