I've been 3D modeling and 3D printing for about 7 years now and I must say this is one of the most informative and the easiest format to digest videos on 3D printing tips and tricks and how-to's that I've ever seen. This is coming from a guy that binge watches 3D printing videos on the regular.

I'll be saving this to pass around to anybody that asks me questions about getting into 3D printing. Thanks for the great video!!!

[kyletaylor]

Wow, I added 3D printing to my repertoire a couple years ago and the amount of rabbit holes you just filled in for newbies in a single video is incredible. Well done.

[romaaeterna]

Hey man I rarely write a comment, but this video really is a 11/10. For me it comes 4 years too late, since I went through all the steps you did, but I watched the whole thing and it felt like 5 minutes. Thats the first video I see from you, instant sub.

[Mrat]

This is so helpful. No messing and straight to the point. Thank you

[johnprosser]

I cannot thank you enough for this video! A friend of mine bought a 3-D printer for his children (Not an elcheepo) and it sat around for ages and they’re not using it so he is passing it on to me so I thought I better find out a bit about 3-D printers and this is the first video I’ve watched and boy have you helped me! I recently purchased a CNC machine and boy am I going to make some stuff for that with the 3-D printer like dust shoe… Thank you once again!

[benroth]

I stumbled upon your channel by accident while looking into 3D printing in general and boy was I in for a treat. I'm not in the woodworking business but I would still recommend this video for anyone just starting with 3D printing. Thank you for all the valuable information and tips provided.

[chrisnesbit]

I just got a Bambu A1 a few weeks ago, with AMS-Lite, and bought a flexible enclosure. All your points addressed and below base cost of P1S... my son had an Ender 3... worlds of difference!

[CC-qrcs]

This was awesome. I’m a woodworker and just bought a P1S. I’ve saved your vid so I can watch it a couple more times. Excellent job!! And thanks!

[BlackBagData]

Holy cow…I’m on the verge of jumping into all this brand new with no experience and this video pops up, explaining everything to me so perfectly. Thank you!

[alincd]

And now I have to watch through this 2 more times to absorb how much awesome information there is here. Perfect collection of advice for someone getting started in FDM printing, thanks for the video.

[iopfarmer]

Great video!. Being a maker for years now, i appreciate my prusa mk3 upgraded to mk3.5 a lot! (amazingly quicker). I understand the hipe around Bambu lab for starters, but personally, I love having Prusa close-by in europe 🇪🇺 even if it means paying the extra cost 👌

[justinburnettemusic]

This has got to be one of the best 3D Printing Intro videos for a newcomer like me. Thank you! I’m no woodworker, but that doesn’t matter. This is great! Thank you! 🙏🙏❤️

[alexandrepv]

I just bought my P1S and I'm in love :D It's an outstanding printer! It's like they wrote down every problem with other printers in the last 5 years and addressed them all in one go.

[fernandobarajas]

Love your videos. Not many YouTube channels that I could sit through a 40 minute video, but you make such quality videos, that it’s a treat to watch them.

[rogerlove]

Hello Mr Wittworks. Just a quick note to let you know that I very much appreciate your taking the time to make this video. My son just gave me a P1S for my birthday, and I’m about to unbox it. Your timing couldn’t have been better. (Not to mention the fact that I’m happy that your choice of printer agrees with my son’s)

[jin]

Got my p1s last week and can't be anymore happy with it after watching your video. Learnt a bunch of really good tips, thank you!

[delmsie]

Wow, All killer no filler. 6 hours of content in under 1 hour.

[susan_halla]

I’ve had my P1S for a year, and this just unlocked it for me. Many thanks!

[andrewsmith]

So, I run a makerspace at a university, and woodwork on side. This video his all this things that we typically teach in our intro printing classes, and recommends the exact printers that we're running, for the exact reasons we're running them. Per usual, Witt's on point here - greatly appreciate the amount of work and effort that goes into not only production for materials like this, but research and experience that informs the process.

[BrentDaughertyMe]

I just ordered the P1S so this is perfect timing. I saved the video to watch again later after I've done a few basic prints. Everything i read said that, even with an enclosure, a woodshop is too dusty for a 3d printer so im building a little plywood box to keep it outside next to the shop.
