[xandersnyder]

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

Amazing, now I need to finish printing mine!

[bruceyoung]

That had to be the most BEAUTIFUL creation you made. EXCELLENT

[Darkwingdad]

Next level printing, probably the best out there. Bravo

[CdoGtheGreat]

I don't watch many videos in full screen mode, but I always watch yours in full screen mode. This video especially gets full screen glory!

[SirCaptainYT]

Awww yeah. What a nice notification to get as I’m in bed watch YouTube 😊

I just successfully electroplated my first 3d prints thanks to your videos. ( Just a few rings to start off with). And ironically I had this exact prop mind. Great to be able to see it come together.

This is next level 3D print art and very satisfying to watch, great work man!

[joeah]

Excellent work. I personally would not believe that such a thing is 3D printed if I didn't see the video. You are starting to make things worth displaying in museums.

[filipefarias]

Hendrik you just pioneered and is now on a next level. Thanks for sharing.

[lertsek]

So mesmerizing to watch!
Want to do it myself.

[clkbateman]

That thing sure does look like it belongs in a museum.

[SirCaptainYT]

Wow. Now that I’ve actually finished it, incredible job man! You really went all out.

I loved use of the blue paint and epoxy, especially you showing your different ratios for the blue on 3D printed squares. Definitely going to try that!

Also the mother of Pearl inlays, super nice. Really cool to see you use other crafts methods in this project.

[coregeek]

Man your killing it with these mind-blowing builds!

[JustGeeD]

I'm just in love with the attention to detail! Incredible 🔥

[TifooTech]

HERR IM HIMMEL! Das ist ja wunderschön!

[GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE]

I think it goes without saying this is your best work ever

[MANOLEJAS]

Looking forward to buy a kit and start with it! Thanks for your vídeos, friend!

[Mithlachion]

Wow, das sieht echt beeindruckend aus!!!

[Genkenx]

Gorgeous, as always. I recently went to Munich for holiday and purchased the copper paint you used and brought it back for testing. The results with that paint really can't be under-emphasized - It's by far the easiest to use conductive paint I've encountered or managed to make. It's a shame Tifoo doesn't ship outside of Germany, it shames every conductive paint I've ever bought for testing here in the states.
