What a spectacular way to launch a Youtube channel. Congratulations

[usamarahim]

Damn Tim, from just messing around in his garage to being a legit engineer. Proud of you 😢

[rheso]

This is the best explanation of why part warping happens I've ever seen. Thank you for making this video.

[tateseacrest]

Good job on ordering to a locker i was a amazon driver for 3 years i cannot tell you how much stuff gets stolen in your lobby i am proud of you good job not being lazy like everyone else who gets their package stolen because some low life picked it up off the lobby floor.

[greyvlad]

Love the job you did with the LED strips and the butterfly clips, never seen or thought about them before. I wish someone did a glossary of 3d print mechanisms, connectors and other stuff like that with Step files for everyone to use

[mguarin]

💯 Dry Humor, Next Level Editing, Perfect Content. Subbed. Good luck w/ your channel….and thanks for this.

[legacyofbob]

Love the style of the video. I've been 3D printing a long time and have to compliment you on the animations you created, as well as the excellent camera angles showing the detail of the work you're doing on the printer. The video and audio quality combined with the obvious editing effort that went into this make a great video. I can't believe you only have ~200 subscribers. Can't wait to see the next one!

[IanBradbury]

Awesome video. Super professional and information dense. I can't wait to see what else you produce, videos and prints. Thank you.

[lukasgayer]

I´d like to summarize this video: Great narrative, lovely animations, subtle humour, banging musical selection and last but not least: totally sick printer upgrade that looks fantastic. Aaaand Subscribed!

[smurph]

This is one of the best and most informative videos I've watch for a long time. Amazing work, looking forward to watching more,

[TheOfficialOriginalChad]

You're well informed, a great communicator, creative, and most importantly you're hilarious.

I have been tempted to buy the P1S on sale, knowing I need to make modifications to make it enclosed. I THOUGHT I researched it, but you brought up some things I overlooked.

Although my decision then and now was it isn't worth that hassel, I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Looking forward to the next one!

[haraldhechler]

Great Video! Very informative and I really appreciate your fine sense of humor. I did the conversion from P1P to P1S a few weeks ago and I preferred - after some serious consideration - the original Bambu enclosure set. It's expensive, though. But it comes with all the parts, including all the necessary fans and mounts. And it's not to underestimate how much material and energy (and therefore money) is needed for DIY-printing and building an enclosure. At the end, the original enclosure is not so much more expensive anymore. And Bambu can't blame you for not using it when it comes to defects. Nevertheless your enclosure is great (and brings much more vision on the process) and will surely work perfect. Especially the lights are nothing less than amazing.

Amazing job especially for a first upload, well done.

[NiklasRitzenhoffMajor]

Definitely keep going with that channel!
Great explanation of the challenges one faces with nylon.

Looking forward to future videos

[cedwards]

Good thing I stumbled across this video -- I just bought a hardened nozzle for my P1S but didn't even think to get hardened gears!

[oscarmoxon]

Jesus the energy behind these animations is excellent.

[tahademir]

I've had fun watching it and liked your engineering way of solving things "literally drilling holes everywhere"

[jonathanpoe]

This looks like such a fun project it almost makes me want to buy a P1P instead of a P1S just so I can enjoy the build. Great video. 👍

[TommyHoughton]

Great video mate! Loved the animations and style you have. Upgrade videos are my favourite. Your printer looks great too! Cheers

[GarinOhanian-otsv]

I really like how you gave an insight about how nylon the material itself works, very well done!
