What is up everybody? Welcome to the edge of tech I'm Jim and we are gonna be rocking and rolling with you guys Doing some work on the Snowville SBO for hopefully you can hear me. I probably should have checked my mic. I Did okay good. Hopefully you guys can hear me. Let me know Yes, I just bought a printer a lot of it good with it but Printers All printers have some things that could be changed easy to put together. That's good to hear easy to put together. I like it. I Can hear but my camera is out of focus. Okay, hang on. Give me a minute. Let me see what let me see what's cooking here It is out of focus not focusing on me focus focus Hang on Let me just make sure Let's just see what let's see what we got here now it should be better Camera might be out of focus up here But we'll fix that in a minute loud and clear morning everybody and dress. Let me know if that's better on the camera We're gonna get rocking and Rolling on this Sunday. It's focusing on the box. Yeah, it looks like I mean from from the camera I see it tracking my face. It's tracking my face. That's okay. We're gonna we are going to Rock and roll and just get this thing rolling because it's huge as you can see on this table. It is huge. It's a Soville SVO for Let me just change my view Blasto. What's going on Rob H 3d puck David, how you doing? No names designs looks good to me. I like it bump up your resolution all the way I think we should be in 1080p today Pretty much all the streams should be in 1080p that doesn't mean they are but They should be We're gonna get this bad boy unboxed right away. I got my good old vitamin water I got my regular water I got all the waters so Soville I did the svo one pro a couple months ago maybe and then they shot me over this one This is the svo four this is a um This is the idex printer Dual heads looks like uh david said he already has one Stay hydrated absolutely Sky down how you doing? david ketz What up But this box is massive. We're gonna i'm gonna pop over to the overhead camera It is so big it barely fits in frame of the overhead camera um But there you go. Let me I'll do this so you can see both angles I might have to move my water there we go. Look at that. This thing is is massive We're just gonna jump right into it We're gonna get this thing unboxed and printing And hopefully not take up too much of your sunday Andres Andreas maybe andres how you doing and hopefully that's how you say it. So we got the uh manual It looks like a decent size manual there Got some stuff under here. This looks like the control screen There you go Looks like it has plastic on it or it's very dirty i'm gonna go with plastic hopefully So we'll move that out of the way nothing in there All these little compartments it looks like have something in them There's something there. Luckily I have the top down camera so I can see it Need to print something red and blue Right Right this looks like purge boxes and with a little wipe Rubber wipe thing on these are rubber wipes, which is nice Little purge bucket action This is a lot of foam um But it's cut very well at least there's some little Little rows uh or little spools of filament. We'll get to that later white and blue Someone asked me will I be doing more bamboo content? Absolutely I have um I had four videos planned Uh three of which will be on This channel that's a box of stuff. We'll get into that in a minute. Um No Three yeah four videos planned one of which will be on this channel I'm doing some stuff specifically for bamboo as well, but I'm waiting Yeah, I'm a little late on this one. Oh, they just sent it to me like Month and a half ago. I'm a little late on all of them I got uh that that crazy cold thing Like two months ago or something and that lasted forever and then uh, I got ready for mirf did mirf got covid So now a couple weeks later.  I have a lot of printers to catch up on So some of these will definitely be late, but we'll have some fun with the live streams anyway um But yes, there'll be more uh more of the bamboo stuff coming I actually have One of the very very first production Let's set this over here Production really don't want to set that down. Let's let's set it down on the steppers um Well new production models of of the bamboo Here, I just didn't do I didn't unbox it yet um, it has the new ams New version of the ams just got some updates and stuff and it's uh That's pretty much all that's different with it, but but yeah This is the soville sv04 Soville has always been great to me um I believe they're a I believe it's a sister company of creality or or at least they're they use creality parts um, so there's that But this is it's 300 Oh the build plate it looks Like there we go. This thing's monster. It's big ribbon cables too here That is a good size Soville lasers, I haven't you know what I did haven't done anything with the lasers yet Haven't done anything with the lasers yet I have so many lasers that I never really wanted to put Them on a 3d printer because I have You know regular standalone lasers, but I should do a video so people know how to do that anyway I'm gonna set this down. I gotta move some cables and stuff because they're everywhere, but So far that's what we got We're doing on this camera here It could be a little brighter, huh? Let's see what we got There we go Let's brighten it up a little there we go like this box is huge Um, I'm gonna get this out of the way I think someone early in the comments said they got theirs coming today, which is awesome Oh, jeez. Oh jeez I just launched that bad boy So this is what we got Soville if you're watching I apologize that this has taken so long to get to The being sick and all the stuff I'm really just behind on everything and I apologize for that. They've usually been really good So there's that it's an all right machine nice So I almost read your name is Hanson rocks But it's not what it says Almost to buy this as a second printer when you did the bamboo live stream. I went with the x1 carbon Very good choice I'm sure this is a great printer There's just a big difference big difference Um It looks like this is going to be super simple to put together. It looks like we're already ready really We're just going to drop. I'm assuming we'll drop the gantry on Screw that in wire it up It won't be good So let's get rocking Look at that 10 minutes in 10 minutes in We're just crossing noon and I already have it out of the box. This is record breaking stuff here guys record breaking Let me keep that plastic Ah, hopefully that's better. It looks like it's focusing on me Which is good, but that means this stuff should be in focus. We'll find out Notes, there's a lot of notes. We'll check the input voltage, etc Assembly guide Let's do this So this is our Book book is nicely, uh illustrated and Words are good Tells you what pieces to use I like it I'm going to set that aside. We're going to need some stuff. So Let's see what's in the box. We got the sd card. It's a full-size sd card We'll need that We got the standard Tools package that you see In all of these style printers the screwdriver the allen wrenches the cutter The needle that has foam Yes, I'm looking at you FL sun I pulled out one the other day on a printer and FL sun super racer and it didn't have foam and it Poked me right in the thumb and I was very upset about that. So here's some big screws Or bolts extra nozzles Throw that over there, of course our power cord Uh usb Some extra ptfe Um looks like There we go. Oh Parts of a spool holder another parts of a spool holder It looks like they have a filament run-out sensors on them built in which is great Here we go Filament run-out sensors on there We need to see how this works and if it would be tired If I would get one tired of the tinker boxes got it Here's another one. So these two little bearing things Right here you guide your filament through there and you're supposed to send it right through that Um school holders here. We got two of those We need two of those throw those off to the side Like I said a piece of ptfe tube a classic spatula A couple of screws that we're gonna need Um, I'm not sure what this is yet. This is two pieces of acrylic So we'll leave that in the box. I'm not sure what that is and then two end cap pieces That we'll use I'm curious what this acrylics for It's gonna be interesting Toss the tools back in the box there Okay Step number one. We're gonna assemble the gantry. There's four bolts We're gonna drop the m5 by 70 screws on there making sure that The It's in the right position So I'll do it like this to start. I think that's okay because you can see Up in the corner there I'm pointing it up in the corner there. You can see the straight on view if you want otherwise You know, there's top down whatever you prefer Let me know in the comments if you'd prefer me just to do a straight on view for the whole thing Because this is going to be a really tall situation Tim from thg made me made me look closer at the quality of Mod and modability of the sovo lined up. Hey, I tell you what I really to be hundred percent fair I've been very impressed with sovo ever since my very first sv01 I've liked it I've been impressed by it And they're just it's just a basic printer that works And that's how it is.  There we go No, maybe that's not how does it sit all the way down? We're gonna find out Nope, it doesn't so this gantry I'm gonna change this so you can see this here So you can see this gantry here Does not sit all the way down. It just sits like this Which is interesting, uh So it doesn't sit all the way down on the table And the the steppers just kind of sit on the frame as well So I probably should have had my bolts ready because I thought this was going to sit down Um all the way and stand up by itself top down is good I didn't read that till now, but top down's a little tough when this thing is super tall Um, there is a little groove in the side of the Of the side of the gantry That you know that the That this um, I'm sorry in the side of the frame that the gantry sits on And that's becoming more and more popular So as soon as I get a couple of these bolts in We can do top down again or whatever I mean this seems like it's going to be a super quick build Do we know what mainboard is in it? I don't Um If I have to guess It's a creality mainboard maybe four two two, but that's just speculating. I'll have to look Probably should have flipped it over and took it apart before we we looked I was so excited to get this thing up and running that I didn't didn't think about it So like the other night we did a laser and it was like a three hour marathons stream And I was like, you know what this one I'm just going to rock and roll. We're going to get it built I want to get this thing printing I want to get it all done And not take everybody's sundae up, you know, I might have to flip this one around because that is not going in there Let me grab my T handles here I love these T handles I use them Pretty much for everything they look like this And They make things much easier Andrew says most printer in china will use off the shelf parts maybe two factories And provide multiple parts to loads of manufacturers. Yeah well These guys pretty much Yeah, they use this. I think they're even made in the same warehouse as creality um You can see the same cut parts the same colors that kind of thing It's okay though. I mean they've always been a good company To work with sovo has for me at least So that's good Can you make sure to can you check and make sure it's grounded properly? Sure, you're grounded So I would do top down but then you're just getting me looking you're just looking at the top gantry because This thing is so tall I'm not going to tighten these all the way yet until I get them all All in here once I get them all in and they're looking good And in they're straight Then I'll tighten them down Made in china absolutely Yes Let me know in the comments if you have one. I know a couple people said they did Let me know if you're considering it The sovo sb04 again. Thank you to sovo for sending this over to me I really appreciate that and I apologize that it's taken me a little bit of time to get this actually done But I did get it done this week like I promised Okay Whoo, I'm hot is hot in here today I say that and it's like 70 or something, right? I'm just running around here 72 I know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna stop this fan on me Okay So I was outside moan did the yard work and all that stuff before this and I got all Warm about it. I'm still one of the side effects from my kovid was that I get I was getting like super overheated and that's still happening Still still pretty warm Just got to take it easy. Okay. Here we go. I'm eating china. I'll definitely check Um We'll see how it goes. I might flip this thing over on its side and we'll check the The control box The next thing we'll do it looks like putting the filament Um, let's see spool holders on let's see if the best way to do that Let's go this way Let's see boom Look at that we can work up here and you can see it um Many guitars on my sv O3 and l4 the svl through is great too. I have one of those Great machine Many guitars, huh? I might have to check that out That sounds like a great A great thing to print. I need to make a guitar So you're john at proper printing made one recently too I always wanted to I'm just gonna do it actually Last night I went down the rabbit hole of 3d printed airplanes And there's that So so we're gonna do um two filament run out sensors and two uh spool holders So they're gonna face forward like this Which does not make it easier for me. I should spin this thing around. Hang on Do a harp. Wow, that that would be cool too A good old harp. All right Same for you better for me.  There we go. Let me just double check this side We're good. Maybe one side wasn't all the way in Okay So we're gonna do two of these Somewhere up here That's the wrong size a harp, huh? harp sounds I'm not I'm not gonna tighten them. I'm not gonna crank them down because I want to adjust them here in a minute But you get the idea So it's just two Two filament run out sensors two spool holders And a cartridge and a pear tree Don't worry. I won't forget to hopefully I won't forget to change this thing to From 220 to 110 It probably will There we go so one two good Working on a bow deadly style box guitar with leds around the body. Nice Our hurdy-gurdy. Holy moly hurdy-gurdy, huh? That would be crazy talk. I mean like Yeah, that would be crazy I thought these are going to go in the bottom here Maybe I'm wrong I'll do that in a minute. All right, let's get the uh filament runner. I mean spool holders cigar box guitars. Yes I have a friend that makes Um actual cigar box guitars. He's awesome at it. He makes them Plays them So that's pretty sweet nice hurdy a hurdy-gurdy I haven't seen one of those in a long time. So these are uh your classic um These are your classic Pre-outy style spool holders. They sit on the top, you know, they screw in and the spool holder screws into that and Just got to fix the t-nuts that fell off. Whoa. We got fallen t-nuts I love this conversation about the musical instruments though. I just need to make them again. I've had this all the sudden I got this thing about um All the sudden I got this thing about making airplanes. So last night My wife was at Chicago Comic-Con or whatever they're calling it now maker or uh fan fest. I think they actually call it now And While she was there she went with her dad They had some Lord of the Rings and Star Trek people that she really wanted to see And I hung out with a little man all day and While she was there Um You know, I probably should make this closer.  Anyways while she was there I after I got the little man to bed. I went down the rabbit hole of 3d printed airplanes from flight test and led me to a company that makes the 3d printed airplanes and I absolutely Went down that rabbit hole. Um The guitar is your jousting lance on your death ratio would be awesome. Yes Mentos stomp boxes, which is sweet Uh, I have a mini gym with a guitar on it that Andrew made actually he designed it And I should get that bad boy printed We should print that pretty soon here. Maybe I'll do that. Um, like big on the on this one or something We'll see Okay So just about got these ready I'm gonna flip to this so you can see what's going on. Let me lower this table a little bit. Holy moly Oh piece. Let's see Used to make mental stomp boxes nice Come on.  I left it loose. So I There we go. So I can move it once I get filament on here. I'm gonna adjust the Place because the challenge is you don't want to go too far away from these because they have that bearing Um They have that bearing that guides the filament down into the fill of a run out sensor And if you're too far away, it's like I guess that one wasn't on it pulls it into that bearing and I guess both of those weren't on. Holy crap That was amazing mark that point in the video for a good old-fashioned fail Probably because I loosened them I said I'm not gonna tighten them yet That's exactly what happened solid body nice PCB board for project boxes for my own guitar stomp box. That'd be that's pretty sweet Pretty sweet Is anyone in the chat done an airplane? Because I am serious that is probably gonna be my next I'm gonna tighten these things down a little bit here A little bit more and then I did before at least You gotta love t-nuts, right? Jim's a regular Butterfinger. Yes I don't know about it just today though The best part about this is they actually have like a locking Uh washer on these It did not locking very good. Did it? There we go. I'm just gonna tighten them man. We're going for it If I have to move them, we'll move them There we go. There's one What's up? Steven's in the house. What's up Steven? I play guitar also, but But that they're about what's grunge sounds like old people music Yes Yes that 90s stuff, you know Definitely old people music All right Just making sure these both caught they did boom They're not falling off now. Dang it. Okay So check display screen that's gonna go in the front somewhere. Yeah Let me turn this bad boy around I'm gonna give you Give you a different view here Because I need to see this Okay How about that view? I don't know. I just made that up. Let's go All right display screen I'm guessing we're going to use these two Little m5s by eights. We are This bag of stuff here says m5 by eight on it Andrew Rogers for the Butterfinger fun. Thank you so much man. I appreciate that $4.99 as Joel would say, are you out of your mind? I think Joel just did this printer. I don't even know a couple weeks ago actually Delete singer food fighters David Grohl was the drummer for Nevada. No way I don't know what you're talking about That is that's crazy I'm just playing with you I got to get this plastic off. It looks like garbage ready Yeah, boom much better. Uh, yeah Dave Grohl's a good dude Uh food fighters awesome and concert by the way A lot of people didn't know that what Don't insult my smartness. I'm sorry. I that is my genre of music So I've just given you a hard time. Sorry. I wasn't insulting your smartness We have multiple Andrew is this like a Andrew is there another console Andrew member here that I don't know about Andrew Murphy Uh, I thought everyone knew that he also wrote of a lot of Nirvana's music. Yes he did Um, I worked at a place called sands Soundguard and walked in to eat like 3 a.m. Nice Uh Yes r.i.p. Taylor r.i.p. chris cornell Screens on screens attached. That's actually not wobbly which is awesome All right, I think next we're gonna start plugging some wires in this thing's rocking man. It's we're only what 30 minutes in or so Yeah, 30 minutes in I'm gonna flip this Flip this around so I can just plug wires in because I'll show you that but Much faster for me this way. All right It definitely says let's do this it says Uh, this is where the ribbon cables go. This is blah blah blah. Okay good So let me I'm gonna give you one of these um I used to do a lot of road sound for well-known bands. That's awesome. Um Like hot makes yes What's up, david? Didn't see a sneak in there That's hilarious steven Um chris cornell have one of the best voices ever oops wrong one One of the best voices Ever fight me Uh His range ridiculous Still to this day absolutely Just Mind blowing. I mean his range is phenomenal. All right. What do we got here? Z I plug this in over there keeping it off to the side here trying to keep it out of the way It is gonna rub a little right here though. It looks like so maybe Yeah, I won't do that. Let's try this I think we're gonna rub no matter where we are, but I wonder if I can fake it till I make it in Like maybe I can zip tie it over here so it does not rub We'll see. All right. What else do we got this this this? This is the other z So I'm gonna go up and around that This Same thing with this one I'm going to plug it in The same way as I did the other side there and then I'll zip tie it like down like this So it doesn't get I guess I could go the the other way and zip tie it too But it's really touching that that z coupler and I don't like that Let's wear it down faster Jessica ryan, how are you? Hello, everyone.  You too. You too. Robin is racing.  All right. I'm gonna pop this back over here ribbon cables on these They're gonna come up and just snap in to the side of the printer like that So it does say something about running these things. Let's see the Yep. Yep. Yep. Filament detection z cables y cables Try not to bend the connectors Okay, one more one more on this side comes up And the little clips open this ribbon cable pops in Little clips close on it holds it in there Check and check You know what we didn't put on yet Maybe I missed it I bet you I missed it Or they didn't have it in here I had to miss it, right? Hmm I don't see anything about the wipe Containers here. Oh, let's see Where are they gonna? You think they would sit over here That let's look so there's these These Containers here that the nozzle will come across wipe, you know and drop some filament in But I don't know where that sits You I mean judging by this you think it would just go You know Born in 77 Let's see. Oh, I see now Supposedly it sits on those screws there But where does it tell me to put those on? doesn't Yet I see it in the pictures here but I don't see it Oh, I see what the acrylic does now The acrylic level levels your z's Yeah, I don't see anywhere in there Um where it tells us to put these on maybe I missed it, but it looks like it's going to sit right in here So I need to loosen those up Let's see. Is this a better shot of that? No, not really it's going to go right here, but you can't see that Maybe you can if I actually Can get it in the frame Or not Okay plan B Plan B Oh, yeah grandma Right here. There we go new studio is New studio is is going good. I need more. I wish I just had more time I want it. There's so much I want to do here, but I need to dedicate more time to it I'm going to give you this angle a little better so I can Open these up a hair Just a hair so then This one will hang here like that And it looks like it has some adjusting so Yeah Probably wanted to wipe that it's actually got to touch it right We'll hang it like this for now and then I'll adjust it if it's not hitting it But I have a feeling we're going to be adjusting it boom Okay We'll do the other side there It's over there I was not in the hairband Oh, man. I was Can you tell? That's funny That's funny Looks like an artillery clone Kind of you mean because of the blue I'm guessing you mean because It did not open that one up part of I'm guessing you mean because of the blue Yeah, so I'm I'm going to end up adjusting these But I'm just going to put them in all the way down for now And then I'll adjust them as needed here Yes multiple times a full-time job and a two-year-old There there is never enough time Never enough All right Double check in So we're wired up. We got everything on here. We'll go to the next step Let's check the There could be an issue just hanging out here. We'll find out. We'll see what they say to do with them Maybe there's a a better way to Put them in there or something All right Turn on the power and switch the position to this to start the equipment I'm guessing they mean to home it All right, so here's what we're going to do I want to switch this over to make sure that it's set up for My world my World here.  It's way in there Whoo, it's it's it's definitely in there I'm gonna have to get a light To make sure I swap that Yes, it does That's funny Okay, so All right, I got it on 115 You have to go in through the back and there's a big There's a hole that's about two inches in Or that you have to go in about two inches to to get there But we got it Let's get this somewhere position like that Get my This stuff out of here for now Let me get the power cord going We have a lot of andrews today right now andrew rogers andrew murphy andrew s The console of andrews is here The lee the legion Hello All right, this plugs into the side here This is where we find out if we smoke or not, right? I like it. Let me just make sure I got Plugged in I'll leave that there like that. There we go Okay, it wants me to turn it on now. Let's do this We get this out of your way so you don't have to deal with that Turn that camera off for a second We are many we are legion. Yes All right, here we go You guys want to see what the screen looks like booting up? I guess I could show you that Here I just turned this off, but Well, we might as well Hopefully let me just let me just turn this bad boy a little more. There we go We got a good, uh Oh There we go ready See what we got No smoke Hey, so we'll 3d Here we go and we are currently On There's the screen There's the interface that looks like it is touch screen Is better the ender or is it similar just more budget friendly Very similar, but this is bigger So this is what 300 by 300 by 300 or something maybe 300 with 300 by 350. Let me look here Trying to remember off the top of my head. I apologize It is 300 300 by 400 300 300 by 400 um So it's bigger does dual has um, obviously it has Idex so it has two heads Did you print a death racer by the main man sand printers? I did John from uh tripods garage put it together for me actually um He put it together for me at mirf on friday Because he's like i've done this get out of my way John's awesome Three three by 400. That's right. It's huge. Yes It's a big footprint, but it kind of has to be with the bed slinger, you know I mean the bed's got to go everywhere It does have strainer leaf back here, which is nice Uh, someone brought up the ribbon cables if they're going to be just kind of flopping around I'm not sure yet, but we'll we'll dive into that more. I am going to do some cleanup on the cables You know with some zip ties and stuff So i'm not sure if i'll do much though with the ribbon cables because I don't want to crush them um All right, what does this say here says turn it on did check Checkerouni There's the interface Cool gives you a whole Uh Guide about what the interface does which is awesome adjust the x axis Make sure uh to use the two adjustment p Let's see make two adjustment piece to parallel with x axis to level x or z axis to level x axis What? All right, let's home this bad boy. Let's just make sure it moves um I don't know Yeah, there's different ways settings Move home Just make sure everything moves There's that one Oh, you know what I forgot to plug in up in the top. I didn't plug in my filament run out sensors as I forgot There's that don't forget that It might be too far So I need to move them over just a little We don't want to forget the filament run out sensors That wouldn't Be great. Okay. Now we're plugging Oh, so it did something It's auto homing. Please wait. Oh, it's coming down now. Okay Just got mine in the mail and my dj richy rich nice, man Glad you got yours in the mail So what we're seeing on the screen is this it's homing. It's telling us that it's homing the z Which is definitely interesting If you see what it's doing it's actually showing you That where it is on the machine With that little red dot. That's pretty cool Soval svo1 pro as your first 3d printer Not a bad choice. It is a solid machine. I like mine. I That was the last what soval I did as far as unboxing and It was solid solid machine Figured out what these are acrylic pieces They are This is going to help us level our x gantry apparently I'm hoping Oh, it has a bl touch built in I didn't see it a limit switch there. So yeah, so it's hard to see But in the very back Of this piece here Underneath there's a bl touch built in there That's pretty sweet Building an enter 3v2 right now. Awesome awesome Okay, so now that I've homed it it says Make sure that both of them are Straight so what it wants me to do how can I show this? Let me Let me back you up. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.  Get you more like this and then What it wants us to do is take these and go underneath Of the gantry Um, it's a super hard Showing you like that, but let me come around the table here So it wants you to put these under here And make sure your gantry is level So Theoretically this should be Um It says there's a video on the sd card but Basically, I want you to put them Underneath here like this And make sure you're straight It did say there's a video in the sd card, but I am clearly not watching it So what I'm gonna do Is I'm gonna put that right there Just so it's touching it just so it's there And that's level-ish Okay And then I'm gonna go to the other side I'm gonna do the same thing Just for the pack of it And then we'll see how I did That actually let me Well, they're both in there now So theoretically these should be the same, right? So what we need to do here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go up I'm gonna go all the way up and then I'm gonna measure them at the top Which sounds weird, but if you watch any of my videos ever, that's how I do it That's how it was taught Disable the steppers and turn by hand and they can move So here's I'm gonna go 170 190 I know it's 400 so I'm gonna go up Let's go like 390 So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go all the way up Then I'm gonna measure From the gantry to the top of the top rail and see if they're close Looks bigger than the anycubic cobra max, but smaller build volume I can't speak to the anycubic cobra max But Yeah, let's see what happens Once you level the gantry, how often do you do it? Hopefully not very often Once it's level it hopefully stays level Uh, it doesn't mean it always does but it should you still do the laser engraver stuff. Yes When I get time, um officially but uh friday night, I did an impromptu laser unboxing. Um, we did the two trees um The two trees laser. Yeah So went up to 390 So it should be stopping any second. There we go I think I can go to 400. Let's go to 400 I'm gonna move over I'll show you what I'm gonna do in a second here But I'm gonna move over There we go the heads then Uh, if I turn this towards you, I'm gonna measure the distance here And here and see if they're the same That's what we're gonna do I have my official Hard to take measure, but they're my uh my ruler, but it's too easy So what I got here is five and a half centimeters And if I have five and a half centimeters on this side They were good Just Just a hair. I mean like just a hair out No pun intended It's very very very close So what I would normally do Is just give that one like a little twist there and I would measure it with a millimeter ruler and make sure I'm within one millimeter I I yeah, I prefer to be dead on but Does that stay dead on? I don't know so we're getting close here um If you must know Where's my where the heck is my millimeter ruler? Should be right here. There it is. There it is My little guy loves my toolbox by the way And he absolutely loves the toolbox. How do the LC 40 engraver go? Is it worth? um Is it worth the way they use it on a phone? the LC 40 Don't remind me which one that is because I don't remember So like I said, we were Five and a half centimeters would be Uh 55 millimeters. So we are dang on 55 millimeters right there if we must be we must know and Man it is within a half a millimeter I'm gonna call that a win I'm gonna call that a win Leveling the platform Oh that one. Yeah. Yeah, I never got it to work Never got it to work because I didn't spend the extra time to get it to work to be fair So I haven't had time to go back to it A lot of people liked it. I never got it to work Uh, let's see we're gonna do Move extruder Move extruder one to the center of the bed then Adjust the distance between the nozzle and the glass bed Well, this doesn't have a glass bed. It has a flex plate So there's that But I get what you're saying. So I'm gonna re-home it We'll let it do its thing Put this away Till I need one We're gonna get this thing rocking. We're gonna get it leveled I'm gonna get it All right, looks like so extruder one. I believe that's what they call extruder one has to be I'll touch on it Pretty sure they don't both. No, they don't just one of them So settings I'm gonna home this and then I'm gonna go to the level. There's an actual leveling Part of the UI If you didn't see this before This was pretty cool The interface here Oh, I just turned that off. Sorry about that So the interface here Um Shows you it's leveling Right here And it's actually showing you where the the z is on your square there. That's pretty dang cool Think about building a 3d printer with or building my 3d printer with a flex plate Andrew. Nice Flex plate. I love flex plates. They're awesome. It doesn't look like the tips are wiping might need to move the bucket up a bit Definitely, I will yes Check the belt when I put mine together. I had to tighten the belts Is that a no, I'm just playing it does that belt tensioners on it We'll check them seem to be okay Just some of the belts weird David, what do you think of yours? Yes, not a good shot. There we go So what I'm gonna do now is come back over here So you guys can see the leveling process The belt is singing Yes, yes, it is. All right, so it's there now. I'm going to go back For the leveling So now it's going to do the homing thing again I'm grabbing a drink of water There we go After I got it calibrated. I like mine nice so step one says Move the extruder one to the center of the bed then adjust the distance between the nozzle and the glass bed Select settings leveling home Select the z or z minus to uh You know change the distance. So let me grab a piece of paper Guessing that's what we're doing Doesn't say that but Basically, we're adjusting the z height. I believe settings leveling home Got it Then select the z Weird auto align the z auxiliary leveling measuring Um, oh, I see there's a z. There's a on the screen here There's a z up and down its side arrows right here. I was looking for literally in up and down So I think that's pretty solid Um Yep, put a piece of paper there great Mm-hmm. Make sure the nozzle can scratch the paper lightly you can Yep, got it Select auxiliary leveling click on number one to five to level the corners Okay auxiliary leveling Let's go to two Basically, we're just running through the paper leveling now. It's actually pretty good there right now I always keep the paper under it just in case What is everyone's thought about me buying an ender or any of the underlying for a first printer? I mean, I did that's how I started Sounds okay Four is the back corner Yeah Reading the manual and stuff. Yes. Yes Uh Definitely reading the manual and stuff That was good. We'll go to five I just want to Make, you know, give it the best shot of printing the first print I like to walk through. Whoa, that one's super tight. I like to walk through the manual Ender to pro pretty solid. I have one. I liked it If you can deal with the size of the ender to pro for the money, it's pretty good Not bad Let's go to two again Just gonna double check it There goes my man card, huh Yeah a little bit there we go Just a little bit see everyone thinks oh it has auto bad leveling you don't have to do this part But that is not true You definitely want to make sure you're you're pretty dang close before you even have to use your abl Because it makes things much better a bit Now I I prefer to use solid bed mounts myself Then you don't have to do this because they're all the same. Hopefully right See this one not even touching now There we go Usually we go around two two times three times whatever If it's close on two, I'll stop there There we go We'll go to single nice And now we're way off We're not on any in the center anymore, but we'll fix that with uh, I mean that's definitely common It's common because of the these plates are normally warped a little This could be like a bull There we go That one was out a little i'm gonna walk around one more time just to be certain The other impression that this printer does create a mesh using vl touch Uh, it's I mean theoretically It actually had a screen To show the mesh but So I mean it should We're gonna find out Pretty solid very nice Now let's try the center again and see where if we're any closer than we were Nope, that's okay. I figured that that's normal You could go around six times and get it even closer if you really want to but Yeah, um, so we went around we did all the corners great. Evel if they're leveling the four corners click number one Uh And check out if the distance between the glass is perfect. It's not we know it's not um Okay, switch to nozzle two And then select auxiliary. All right, so here's what we're gonna do I'm gonna go back Oh, I'm gonna go switch to nozzle two There's a little two button there So we should move one out of the way Says, uh, let's see the distance between nozzle two and the glass by twisting the knob Above extruder two. Oh, I see Got you. I got you The distance between two and the glass should be the thickness of the same paper. Okay So we're gonna go to one There we go. Hopefully that's not too close whoo So this one has a knob up here That will raise and lower Uh If you're familiar with lasers This one will raise and lower this whole head To get it where you want. I mean you've got to be super wow Gotta be super close on your, uh Twisting though too much twisting. You doesn't need much here when you're close like this I mean That's probably pretty good, but I just need like a Barely a turn That's close we're close Okay, so I got that Do not move number two after leveling Okay So, uh, let's go back great Go to leveling Okay We did that if you need to real realize the auto leveling you can have a setting I don't know what that means, but we're going to go to measuring it says All right, let's see what it does I believe this is where we're going to create our mesh. It uses the BL touch now While that's going I'm going to Put this on for you All right Well, you manually do it rather than every print I wish they would have a put Two bed slider extrusion instead of one with this big bed It's 300s on the border of that. You never know Uh, I thought about getting an under three pro, but I was not sure Ender three pro solid older now, but solid Um, I hate creality machines, but I went in on them the wrong way. I went from original prusas. Yeah, that that's backwards um New experience I started with an ender three a basic like ender three and that's how I started I liked it because I learned the machine It did take some time, but that's okay For first printer something like an ender three pro can be exercise and frustration Um, they're solid but can take a bunch of tickering to get them ready. Yes, they can Um, it depends what your budget is. I mean, that's that's where we want to start right What's your budget and how big of printer do you want? What what build space? If you have a smaller budget and don't print anything giant Something like an ender two pro Will get you where you want to be solid printer cheap Super cheap to get in the hobby And if you hate it, it was like 160 bucks if you liked it You'll buy another one after that once you learn how to use it. You know what I'm saying? uh Love minor two pro and my cr10 sp2, but my ender three was a huge task. Yes Most of the time when giving advice to newcomers, I recommend they try a flash forge plug and plate works not the best but very solid um I have a couple flash forges. They're okay One of them went to a school and they've been using it. The other one is in the back here and I use it I mean, it's they're not bad at all All right, so it did Let's do this and show you So you can see it did the leveling and it created the mesh here for us Interesting numbers, but we're going to roll with it Now we need to prepare We're preparing now everybody We're going to go to temp and nozzle one and set it to 200 temp and nozzle two and set it to 200 So What is auto align z should we do it? I don't know what it's doing, but Doing something and we'll adjust those white boxes too Yeah, if you have a microcenter 99 dollars for an ender three pro is a really good deal Flash forge creator two pro. I agree it's plug-and-play, but very small build volume Obviously very very small ender five plus solid. I loved my ender five plus. Unfortunately I Don't have it anymore. I wish I did I missed that thing I use it to build project cases for my electronic pcb I built And also small things for my nephew. How big are the project? Cases that's that's that would be my next question How big are the project cases? It's doing something It's doing something we're gonna We're watching it as you can see and it's it's like aligning I said auto zealine and That's what it's doing. Whatever that means We're gonna get a filament ready here I'm gonna get The blue and white that it came with ready I'm gonna put white in number two blue and number one You see How we're doing there Five by five Let's see here Just led lights not a big not big at all. That's right Can the ender two pro do tpu? Why not? Why not? Yeah, it should be able to I have one over here. I can show you what it looks like Uh my little guy really what is going on here trying to get the filament here through the It's mechanical switch. There we go So i'm gonna do that for that one. I think it's done doing its thing. Okay Now let's do some heat-ups nozzle one 200 got it Back nozzle two 200 back Got it. Let's do a hotbed heat up too. Let's let's get it all going at once It's all getting going here. Okay Getting the i'm gonna swap this over here so you guys can kind of see what i'm doing now.  Yes It was aligning aligning the uh aligning the See this is interesting This is like straight down. This one's not Off the readjusties for real size things uh I would check out the under two pro very solid So right now we're heating temps. We're at 172 on number one 67 on number two and 38c on the bed um Really depends on your budget though. Andrew murphy And also I mean the enter two pro has such a short Uh Such a short Bowden tube If if you want to do tpu if it's not crazy floppy like I don't know ninja flex or something It might work. Okay Also, you could just convert your enter to pro into uh, direct drive Yeah There's that kit. What's that man long? What is up? Long time no see it is andrew day here russel whites high Russell whites here too We're getting everything heated up 200 200 in 50 on the bed currently Good Prepare load the filament Hang the filament cut it at a 45 degree angle. I am glad they tell people that in the manual now um This here You know that's pretty important on these machines So yeah The meeting of the minds. Yeah. Yeah meeting of the andrew's meeting of the minds. It's all the same all right I'm going to Pull this down I'm going to pull this back and push it into the Extruder It is going down in I can smell it. So that's good You're gonna pull this one down Push it into the extruder Also can I can smell that one Has both of them had different colors in them. So I know this was tested So what I want to do now is adjust Oh, it's so close. Actually that one's touching That one is touching could go up. Maybe a hair That one's not even close to touching. So I'm going to adjust those real quick. So they actually do the jobs In the wipe Yeah, we we do have a lot of andrew's in the chat right now But that's okay because we like them all TPU stock um Let me think I mean, it really depends on how floppy you're gonna get So remember tpu. There's a whole bunch of different hard Hardnesses shore Whatever you want to call it. I don't know whatever you want to call it. There's a bunch of different Um, there we go That one definitely wiped I'm gonna run around to this side Shoreness shoreness. Is that the real word for it? Uh So let me swap back over to here temporarily show you Basically, I'm just gonna Hey look It's got like a purge bucket, right? We're just adjusting that real quick. I mean theoretically We're just coming up About right there We'll see how close we are That should work Pretty close on that one. I might come up just a hair so it actually hits it Like it does on that one And we don't want it to crash but We want it to hit it a little more than that So really this is just all the fine tuning stuff um You do this in the beginning so you don't have to do it again And hopefully you don't have to adjust this stuff much later but Let's see Well, that's too much too much Yeah, we went we went too far on that one It literally crashed into The side of it Whenever drop that side a little bit.  It sounds good It's the word you're looking for describe rubber ratings. Well I like that. I just caught what you said kit. I didn't see what you said. I'll be interesting When left head adjust the mesh and right head has to follow and be on the same gentry Not Too floppy just want to be bulletproof when it comes down to holding my go-pros for drones Got it So, I mean you could easily get away that you want to do something like the polymaker was at 95 Same stuff I used for the tank treads That stuff is hard enough to print through a bowden tube Like the under two pro I believe pretty easily but not You know, but not super super squishy, right, but it's not like rock hard like pla would be Um let's see Yeah, the printer seems gigantic. It is a good. It's a good size printer. It definitely is a good size printer if you want to know And I also have Let's see. I can bring this down a little To get a better a little better view So table to the top of these Uh, let's say top of the spool holder because every spool is going to be different We got about we'll call it 32 inches to round it up or 81 centimeters we'll call that um That's pretty tall. Yeah, that's pretty tall wide I mean, there's got to be a more scientific way, but we're gonna just give it the best we got here we're gonna call it 26 to be safe, but that's probably a little bigger than it You know a little bigger than it really is um Yeah, I love this I built this with this, uh, you know the sit stand desk. I love it. I can lower it raise it Whatever I want to do. All right, let's get that sd card out Let's see if there's anything cool to print on it Uh-oh I don't know if I have a mod in here, but if I do can you knock that Jim whatever garbage out of here If not, I'll do it myself Let's turn this so you guys can see it working more Like that SD card slot. Oh, it's probably in the front of the thank you Please appreciate that Andrew SD card slot is in the front up here And I believe we're gonna be upside down We are upside down Let's go. There's a mirror x y z cube a tongue a sneaker a dual z Cube with PLA Try that one Dual x y z cube PLA mirror mirror. Is there a dual color? Cube calibration Dual pepperoni Calibration does it tell us we need to run a calibration? Maybe there's like a calibration. We're supposed to run Joel didn't think about it too late. Yeah All right start printing. That's our next thing here dual mode duplicate mode There's definitely different modes on here, which is pretty quick pretty awesome. So there's a dual mode a duplicate mode a mirror mode Load dsd card great All right, it doesn't tell me but let's see what happens when we do like You have the comb test Jim did work for adobe. Yes. Don't forget to calibrate the two heads Richy rich if there's a good way there is a calibration to align the head So should we just run calibration? I think there is something on here just called calibration Let's see what happens Single mode are you start your printing? Sure, I don't know what this means Single mode it shows me extruder number two Are you sure you start your printing in current print mode? There is a calibration to to align the z Is there is there really? Let's go back Um, should we go dual mode? Sure, I don't know print Settings refuel set offset leveling move print So there's a mirror a tongue a sneaker a dual xy peperoni cube calibration guessing that Flying saucer appears. Yeah Um, let's just go for it. I don't know what this means. Yes We're going for it. Oh, I know you know what I didn't do yet I'm failing at life Well, we'll see what happens. I didn't clean the I didn't wipe down the It's the bed. I should have done that but Do the cube calibration dual xy I think I'm in it. I'm going for it I'll be a mod A mod on other channels nice I'm trying to remember who's I'll hear that's mods dual xy I don't know what it's it's doing here, but we're going to find out. I'm going to uh Raise this back up just a hair And then I'm going to bring this camera over So we can actually see What is happening It is purging down the side, which is okay I like it So it purged down the side there Now it is Oh, let's see So make sure It is starting a cube. I think you're starting something Looks like it's mostly down.  This is the comb test. There we go. It looks like a comb Nice I like it The googly eyes. Yes, I should do that one on each One big googly eye on each one Uh, I have been from when you started the stream. Yes, I remember Andrew, uh Andrew's been a mod for a very long time actually Jim, thanks for the channel. I don't know what it is what you guys in your channel want to get back in 3d printing awesome 3d printing is awesome if you have a use for it, especially This is the comb. This will calibrate your two heads. Awesome. Richie rich This is yelling at me saying it's time for water I like that idea I can tell you That I'm I'm pretty confident that this thing is going to be solid um You know the the fact is That most of the soval printers I I mean every soval printer I've had has been solid. I like them all and This one is just different because it's idex right so you can do two colors you can do two Different materials you could probably do support materials if you wanted um You can do a lot with these and And you don't have to have anything special like The palette or the mm u2s or the ams on the x1 carbon You know, it's it's just two But that's okay And the really cool thing about this is we're going to pop over here Um, that's no fun. We can't see that, huh? The really cool thing about this is that through the magic of filament swaps or or Um, you could probably get away with multiple colors because while head one or head two for instance is printing right You can be changing The filament in head one to a different color And if you planned it right you could have a bunch of different colors We're all addicted to 3d printing even with our ups and downs. We're one big family. Absolutely nice Metal casting I know uh someone that used to do that as well Last dough consume the earth sauce or consume the earth sauce. Yeah, I rejoice y'all just um I'll rejoin y'all discord. Are you there?   I do I really do Uh Whoa a 3d communion on each head you could You could I mean, I mean if you had it above you could do a palette In to each Um You could you could do whatever. I mean, there's so much stuff you can do so right now it's Printing up and it's filling in the first layer here Of this comb and hopefully it's gonna go into I just want to see it from this other side It's really hard deciding on my first printer it is Um Uh-oh my phone's blown up here. All right. I think you're gonna switch here print head one is uh Heating back up it looks like I'm terrible at my own discord. So I don't blame anybody for not being there right now Uh So print head one is attempting to print here right now. It's not doing a great job It is Way too Way too far from the bed Can we adjust it? Yeah, we can Let's try it. Let's see. I cannot see if that made a difference I think it did Super hard to see in there It definitely did okay Hopefully it fixes itself. Others will have a little bit of a mess, but That was a little bit um print head one which is going right now in blue didn't have a great, uh Start there it was too Let's see. Can I Try to get you a better angle Those that it's a little better, right? Maybe Kind of shows it a little bit better from the side until that print head's done but anyways It was it was off. So I had to fix that I know Jacob, but you're a good place to ask questions. Uh, yeah, I I'd actually shines with support material Yes, this is the most tedious part when the comb test is done There'll be a notch in the middle of each comb those two notches you want to match up You can use a millimeter ruler reprinting discord. Yeah, I don't yeah, you can say the name of it go ahead So it's doing its thing now It looks like It's kind of hard to get in to a good, um A view on these because of how the extruders are See if I can There we go That's one thing about these giant extruders like this. It's hard to see underneath them If they're not open up at all for you to see This is pretty cool though getting some plastic laid down We're in what an hour and a half Uh, people blown me up on my phone. That's okay though So it's printing these two comb like things I don't know how long this print is Make your pie delivers before I buy an idex ender three s one pretty solid Pretty solid We're 81 done. So this is going to be pretty quick Bamboo Uh We're talking bamboo I love that thing myself Very good machine. This thing is doing really good. I mean the layer doesn't look bad The blue layer was bad at first, but that was my fault. But I just need to adjust the z, right? Um You know, it's not doing a bad job here It did not fill in the gaps all the way on some of this but Yeah Can you share what are the dimensions not including the spool holders want to know if it'll fit in my existing enclosure? Um, not including the spool holders You know, you're gonna put the spool somewhere else Not including the spool holders just to the top of the rail about 25 and a half inches or 65 and a half centimeters if you want to go that route um Length wise I'd have to I can't It's already done Um, I'd have to measure it with everything like fully extended, you know like that So I would go with 26 inches Well, uh deep deep 26 inches deep and I think we talked about roughly If you want to be safe You want to say roughly 26 inches wide? We're going to call it 26 wide. I bet you the actual machine Dimensions are on this book here. Um We're going to get another print going in a second here um Look at each comb. You see a rectangular notch in the middle. Those need to match up. Okay Uh, let's see Machine size Does not tell me the actual machine size But yeah a rectangular notch In each one Well, that's what I see. This is what I got That's what I got Look at the comb. You see a rectangular notch in the middle. Those need to match up I don't see any rectangular notches I mean They all look like combs, right? Am I am I missing something? Why is the 3d printer just how long we've been around and why is the resolution not better? Hmm. That's a good question My upside down there. No, I'll pop these all off Came off pretty nice I am going to clean these mats So I am not sure what you mean about the rectangular notch We're going to try something else though We printed that On to the next thing. Let me grab some Let me grab some stuffs Want to wipe this down One comb will be different You think it's lacking people wanting to pay the price for better? Better resolution. Um I don't think so I think it really depends where people are There's anything that the anchor and the bamboo lab X1 Has shown us is that there's a lot of people willing to spend money for a more premium product That to be fair Normally you would get for even more money. I mean a lot of people are shocked when they saw that How cheap the bamboo lab really is compared to something like Uh, I don't know ultimaker or something, right? um All right, here we go I'm firing it back up. We're doing a cube A cube calibration. I wiped it all down Let's see what happens I'm going to I'm going to put you back over here so I can talk to everybody for a few minutes while this thing's Doing its thing. We'll spin this around Give it a little break All right Using a spatula on a flexible. Yeah, normally I wouldn't do that, but that was like one layer Thick very thin and it was very flexible. So I wouldn't have flexed off for sure Right in the middle of the thing. Look at the videos on the sd card We'll tell you how to use the calibration test. It probably does. Yes Um, I think I mean resolution on fdm is It's gotten much much much better through the last however many years, right? It's way better than it used to be 10 years ago for sure If bamboo delivers i'm buying one. I'm not sure what you mean by delivers with four colors. I'm sorry Uh on each comb look at the very middle tooth. You'll see a little different. It has a rectangle laying on top Um, let me look while this thing is It's doing something. I think it's printing already All right, I got the combs All right, it's laying down It's laying down the purge line here I see a little rectangle on that one. Oh, I knew I know kit You see a rectangle on this one Let's see I see like I mean these things it's so little. I don't have the camera on and it's not Stuck together very good at all Just see here. I may have to I might have to go a little closer here On the blue especially Yeah We are not close enough Let's try that. I think we're still too far So my lines the layers are not sticking together essentially is what I'm trying to say Let's try that and it's very hard to see uh because well It's hard to see Let's try that so I'll buy the next version of the bamboo after they get the bugs out I mean just like any brand new thing. There's always going to be some of those for sure Yeah, I can't tell Those layers aren't great The layer is not great See if I can get you a better a better picture of it there um Hopefully this one's better ouch What what Kickstarter failed that you didn't didn't receive Andrew? Well, it's likely the backers get the prizes Yeah burned so often. I wonder what what you got burned for Um, ooh a voron build. I like that It's Kickstarter. Yeah They're gonna deliver they're gonna deliver printers for sure Um, the printers will will be delivered That is That might be too close to the Yeah, that first layer on the white is too close now to the bed, but I'm over it It's probably because I lowered the z of the Probably because I lowered the z because number one was printing too far away still I could see where this could take a little bit to dial in. Um You know That's the nature of Idex, right? See if I can get you a better view from the side Maybe So hard to get a good view here a plush carry That is funny. Oh now we're gonna now we're gonna have a problem with this view because the other shooter is coming Uh, and it's gonna change it for us But I can tell you That's square I don't think we're lined up, but we're gonna find out I think um Raise it with the manual knob. I will have to do that a little bit Yeah, blue What's interesting is I don't know. I don't know what it's doing. We're gonna have to see what this print looks like when it's done Does extrude or two of an adjustable z carriage? Yes, it does Yes Did you update the firmware? I have not updated the firmware. There may be a newer firmware Um that I need to update too Thank you for the stream. You're welcome I need that. Yeah, I need to raise it a little also I don't really know what it's trying to do I mean we're 80 we're 90 through here And I guess there were a hundred percent through here. Look All right, then there's that I can tell you we need to calibrate some more but Let's see There we go There's a gap here I'm not sure if it should be there or not I don't think it is. I think the white is supposed to be right in the center And there's a gap there We definitely need to do some more calibration and get this dialed in on top of each other and There's that but I think we should try something like Duplicate mode Let's see what we got here Ooh, there's a mirror mode. I like mirror mode. Let's show this mirror mode print Mirror cube go Yes, all right. Here's what we're gonna do I could spend a while I'm gonna probably have to spend some time Dialing this thing in and getting it calibrated as with any iDex machine. You need those things Perfect, right? Yeah, they're very short tests. So it's just going to take some calibrations I'm also going to need to pop that sd card in and watch the videos on how to calibrate Instead of just making it up as we go, right? Let's see I don't like how it comes out of the bucket it heats up Or then it heats back to temp. It makes blobs on the print um I think it's heating up currently in the bucket But yeah, it does it comes over to that rubber piece when it's heating up. It looks like uh, louis. How are you? And they are they're definitely short when you watch it'll give you your When you do watch it, I'll give you man car. That's funny. So here's what we're doing now um Did I raise that or lower it? Wrong way I'm just trying to watch There we go I may have got that one in how's this one this one's looking good So now we're doing a dual Just want to touch it I cannot get in there. I can't get in there to check the level or layer on this We're doing a dual cube here And it's super hard to get in here. I'm just going to let it fly I guess um There we go, you can see what's happening It is doing See if I can get you closer It's doing two cubes at once The challenge is you can't see In underneath those extruders. I mean I can see from the back They're looking okay I wish I could lower The z here I'm definitely the z on Blue here is higher So that would cause me to lower the whole thing down Then Readjust the left side again We're going to let it go. It's just too high geez Definitely too high on that side We're going to let it go and do its thing though Then I'm going to have to re re level the um Extruder one here The z is definitely off. What's the bucket for it should come across Purge or whatever it does in the bucket it sit here and blob and let it run down And then it should wipe itself on the way back so you don't have filament just oozing all over the place These are a little little um maker I'm sorry a little uh z cube or cubes here But I could definitely tell that the level on this one here number one is just too high from the bed It's still too high So i'm going to have to play with that this one. I was able to adjust which I really like that I just did it a little bit and it's it's very good on that one On the second there's a couple of screws to raise and lower this The second extruder. Yes this one Because this raises and lowers it up if that's what you're talking about nice area So just rocking a couple of cubes basically there the cubes are going to be um I Thought the sobo was bowed in this particular one's not direct drive Actually, they've all been direct drive if I remember right all of them So we're rocking a couple of cubes. They're mirrored So they will come out. I mean you're basically putting the same thing one side is going to be mirrored from the other This is going to be a little bit. There's only five percent in Any questions This is 300 by 300 by 400 this is um The sovo sbo4 It went together very quick I'm going to have to say very quick. It went together, which is great So far You know, we've done a couple of calibrations which I need to keep doing that for Um Nice kit. That's awesome.  It's just going to be calibrating them. So The the two heads print in the same spot like they're supposed to That's just going to be the trick of it. Um, it's just going to take some time to do that, which isn't a big deal currently like Like I said, we're doing a mirrored cube. So it's printing two cubes at once Which is this is pretty cool because you could you can print Say you have a small box or a small part or something You could duplicate them so it prints the same thing next to each other You can put the same colors multiple colors whatever you want You can do mirrored stuff like this, which is a lot of fun Basically, you're printing two prints at the same time This also will do do a color together like we talked about We could do two vases if we had loaded up a vase in here. We could do two different ones O4 was on sale on amazon a week or two ago. Yeah, they had a big release a couple weeks ago Um, I'm just super behind in getting all of the All my stuff together. They did have a good promotion going on They might still on their website. It's cool to watch though Um, very fun to watch two heads moving at the same time Just getting them all dialed in that's that's what we got to make sure you do Um, you can do that. We'll throw this over here You can see a little not really So the the challenge like I said before is is that they you know, you can't see under the extruder is really good Um, this is kind of a fun view You can kind of see You can kind of see top down how they're working right How they're mirroring each other Looks like we dropped some people very quickly. That was crazy um Yeah, so it's going to print these two cubes We are going to let it fly. I'm going to I'll keep playing with this thing.  The interface is there Um, I can look and see I'm assuming there's a firmware. It's been out for a bit So there could already be a firmware upgrade that it needs. So we'll check that out. Um yeah Dual filament run out sensors um Everything else is pretty pretty solid Kind of torn because I kind of wish That you can see it over here a little bit more. I wish this extrusion maybe came down It was flush with the table to take some of the weights off this, but it's not that big a deal It's not the end of the world. Um, it does have Um felt tensioners on all the sides here one for each of your heads and then one for your why A strain relief on the on the bed in the back, which is good. You definitely need that on that wire for sure um, we talked about The cables here the ribbon cables. I don't know what you could really do with those because they need to be able to go all the way up so There's not a lot you could do with that any questions Anything else you want to hear about or talk about Email, so I don't think their latest firmware is on their site. Okay. I'll definitely do that Check that out. Um These cubes are rocking and rolling Interesting. I'm definitely gonna have to work on it head number one here And see what's going on there. It's probably just it just needs to be dialed in Yeah, I don't think there's a lot you can do with the cables either You can't really cable tie them because they need to be able to move You can do like some sort of guide, but that might put wear on them. You never know But time will tell yes, how large can you print in mirror mode? That's a great question I don't sure I'd have to pull up the Slicer unless it tells me It says the different modes are in here All right, yellow areas for duplicate mode red areas for mirror mode um Mirror mode is considerably smaller For some reason Let's see if it tells us what size mirror mode print size. Here we go. Mirror mode print size Is 115 by 300 by 400 115 by 300 by 400 duplicate mode Is 150 by 300 by 400 150 by 300 by 400. Let's see dual Dual color 300 by 300 by 400 single color 300 by 300 by 400. So those are the same. So there you go Yeah, you don't want the heads to collide I mean these cubes are rocking and rolling though 25 22 done 22 done So that's cool I know it's sunday. I know you guys are being awesome and hanging out. So I don't want to Waste too much of everybody's time either. We've been going for Just about two hours So I'll probably give this thing another 10 minutes. We'll see what happens Uh, both continues fine to the end fine. Yeah Right Duplicate mode the heads never come close to each other. Yeah, true story So you get a little more out of that you get a little more because they're moving at the same time um It's so much fun though to watch The idex machines work because We like right now we have two things printing Obviously they're mirrored. So they're printing backwards from each other um And it's just cool to see It's just cool to see this I'm gonna get back to work. Thanks Bam, and we'll see you guys in this course. All right. Have a great day I have a uh great day back to work and Thank you for being in the stream Um Yeah But good good times. I mean solid machine If it prints continually prints like the rest of my syllables do It's gonna be solid Something I did notice up top here. It has um Without flipping this thing around it does have it does capture The z rod in the back here the z screw But it's floating So it allows it to move. So if this z screw was ever like warped It'll actually let it move in here front to back Uh and a little bit side to side that way it's not holding it straight and Making everything else crazy. So that's important. Um There's I don't think there's bearings in there, which is okay with me. I would rather just have it free float Um, thank you, andrew s. I appreciate that it is fun to watch two of them print Very much fun So I have a bunch of printers to uh to get done and you'll probably start seeing a lot of a lot of live streams soon In the next couple weeks here I do have uh, man, I got I got a lot over there I have a Ender three s one plus So that'll be Interesting I have Man, there's there's a lot of printers over there. I need to get out. But this particular one's so far so good Thank you so much soful. I really appreciate you shooting me over the sbo4. I apologize that it took so long to get to it, but uh solid printer You know, even if again if you were just going to use one extruder most of the time It's going to be solid. It's direct drive um Yeah So far so solid, you know It does have uh heat sinks heat sinks and fans there Across the uh extruder itself, which is kind of cool Keeps that keeps it cool down in there um Yeah, there you go Great. Well, thanks for the share best. Thanks. Thank you so much vgfx labs I think I'm gonna print I think I'm gonna print an airplane It just I think I need to I need to I don't know why I just you know It sounds like it's gonna be fun Then I'll do a video like Putting it together and then maybe hopefully not crashing it right cool Well, these cubes are gonna keep flying here. We got we're only 35 percent in right now So we have a quite a bit of time. I do not want to take up all your day watching cubes print I appreciate everybody that's been here. Everyone's been here since the beginning of the stream and it's here now Thank you so much for the donations. Um earlier. I really appreciate that as well Um I'm gonna give you some of your sunday back. I hope that you you know, you have a great day, um Got a little bit of information. Maybe learn something new. Maybe you never saw an idex machine print before uh, so hopefully that helped out in Yeah, look forward to more live streams coming if you guys want to see something specific Let me know uh in the comments after this video as well Uh sky down hope that lightweight foaming film. It looks fun to try. Yes, that would be cool Good stream nice printer. Thank you so much. David. Got the clock hiding up here um Yeah, I think Once I get it down in I think it's gonna be pretty solid It's gonna it's gonna be fun to dial it in again I need to watch their videos on actually how to do that because I was just pressing buttons on the control panel and Doing the count the test prints, but I'm sure they have a detail on how to dial these things in and we're going to do that um Yeah Again, you want to see something specific? Let us know in the comments below But I don't want to keep you guys here any longer It's sunday go out have a great day Whatever time it is in the world by you and uh in the future or you know, not so much But I hope you guys have a good one. Thank you again for being here and We will see you tomorrow night at hot makes right here 6 p.m. Central um We have who do we have sam prentis sam prentis is joining us on hot makes we're going to talk death racers And I have mine. We're going to show it off and show his and I'm Going to see if I fried my motors maybe that kind of thing um Any printers going to south africa poor but willing I am not sure I'm not sure what they what they can send to south africa, but I'm sure there's there's printers there um But thank you for being with us actually too, but yeah tomorrow night 6 p.m. Central across the channels You'll see hot makes we do hot makes every monday night And or mostly every monday night this past one.

Thank you so much. You guys have a great day um Stay safe out there in the world and we'll see you in the next one everybody later All right


Actually, we're going to have to deviate a little bit from our plan because what I heard was everything that I had planned to perform up so that we can all see. But I'm just going to change that a bit. Who performed division for each of the groups? Okay, so there we go. Can I borrow yours, Geraldine? Okay, so this is Geraldine's work. And as you can see, she used division. She used division in order to show the inequality of the distribution of the subs. Okay, and we see that each of these decimals represent a number greater than one or less than one? Less than one. How do you know? A decimal is a part of a whole number. What if I told you one and five-tenths is also a decimal? How does one and five-tenths compare to one? Is that greater than one or less than one? Greater. Then how can we revise that explanation? We have to be precise. Are all decimals less than one? No. Ernesto, what do you think? Are all decimals less than one? No. Which decimals are less than one? The decimals that have no whole number on the ones placed. Okay, very good. I like that response. Anyone else can phrase it differently. Kaylis? Decimals between zero and one. All decimals between the whole numbers of zero and one. Anything above one is going to be greater than one. Excellent.


Hi, welcome to today's show. Great to have you here with me. I thought I'd talk to you today a little bit about 10 signs I'm going to give you of a narcissist That word still is a word that we use more than we understand, I think NPD narcissistic personality disorder is an all-time high particularly in our narcissistic individualistic egocentric Western civilization So when I give you these 10 signs characteristics of a narcissist, you'll be able to perhaps Have a more finely tuned radar to the presence of these people in your world or The presence of some of these characteristics perhaps in yourself from time to time either way I hope this is helpful to you guys. So number one narcissists are self-obsessed Self-promoting and self-absorbed whilst pretending to be interested in you That's that's what's interesting with narcissists, they have this duality of the way that they present themselves But the over the overwhelming characteristic and leaning of course is towards Continual self-obsession self-promoting self absorption always talking about themselves Always finishing up somehow making a conversation about themselves, even though it didn't start out that way Always interjecting themselves into someone else's conversation someone else's story I'm bringing it back towards themselves and they do this whilst pretending to listen to whatever you're talking about or someone else Is talking about but really they're listening for how they can find an in To promote and draw attention to themselves This is a consist all of these are consistent. I think I've tried to pick ones that are Consistent so that they are very evident and obvious when you look for them So these things are not infrequent. They're not occasional signs. These are these are go-to reliable Signs of Anacesis, so that's the first one. Secondly, they brainwash you To believe that you need them in your life Because their life is of course far superior to yours So, you know what they know and what they have and How much money they have? Their lifestyle Their homes Anything that they can do To convince you that their life is really the life you would want But you can't afford it or whatever it is. They project on you as to why you don't have that calibre of life They have It is a process not just not just conversational things. It's a brainwashing process of of kind of wearing you down into this place of envying their life Because they want you to believe and they get a kick out of thinking that you think That that their life is superior to yours And so they play on that and play on that all the time in Multiple ways that you will maybe have a radar for more after this than you did before in Multiple ways they're constantly going on about who they know and what they've achieved and what they have and where they've been And what group they're in with and And how much people look to them and so on and so on it's this constant brainwashing To make you feel that your life really is inferior Unless it's connected to their life That somehow that somehow they're lending you vicariously Their limelight so that you can feel a little bit better while you're around them because you don't have that kind of light in your life As I read these it is they wow this is so sick As I read these to you and as I talked to you about these That's number two get in no better with three number three they manipulate you into their version of you This is interesting.  You shouldn't do that. You should do this We did this and you would love it And it's this endless Manipulation that's what it really is it may have come across as concern or recommendation or this would be great Which is fine from a person different to the person I'm describing But when you add this trait this characteristic to the others are mentioning it just reinforces the narcissism in the person When you feel you are being manipulated into Their version of you which is as I said more like the version of themselves Number four they make you question your thoughts and decisions in favor of theirs This is interesting with narcissists because when you are Expressing an opinion about something particularly if it's something you know controversial that's going on in the world at the time You know like racism or something going on with global warming or some political thing Or some TV show That had a particular emphasis to it They converse with you in a way that is an attempt to make you question the validity and The strength and the clarity and the thought throughness of your thoughts and conclusions in favor of the ones they have about the thing you speaking about and It's another way that they Try to infiltrate your psychology By inserting themselves Into your thought processes questioning it trying to disrupt and dismantle it and It's like a cuckoo They're trying to get your eggs out get your thoughts out of your mind and replace them with their own Is another character to have noticed about narcissists make you question your own thinking in favor of theirs, which of course is going to be superior to yours and to mine Or at number five They will never respect your boundaries because they only see their own importance Narcissists don't really care about any boundaries. You might have about your life your habits of life Your time your health Your energies the conversations you want to have and don't want to have Any social boundaries that you have the others would Naturally respect or at least recognize to be able to respect Narcissists don't do any of that They have no radar for someone else's boundary Because they only see the importance of their agenda which allows them to cross boundaries and just step in to Anybody's world at any time with anything they want to say Even though you know what it's happening. You feel violated and you know, you wouldn't let someone else do that but because of the cumulative effect on us of Narcissists, it's like we got so used to how they behave That we don't defend our boundaries We kind of surrender because we're so worn down by all the other things I've mentioned and other things I'm going to mention That even though our boundaries have been ignored and overridden and invaded We kind of take it Um Because it's it's unimportant and if you have to remind them that they just crossed a boundary It only triggers something else in the narcissist of being offended of getting stronger with you of excluding you Of bullying you so you tend to take it but what's going on is your boundaries are being disrespected and No, one but no one should be allowed to disrespect your boundaries Number six they don't mind ignoring shaming Minimizing or isolating you to serve themselves narcissists will Use people Will have them close and then push them away Will isolate them minimize them even shame them If it serves a particular agenda they have at that time in their life Generally or with regard to yourself and they have no conscience at all about ghosting you about Minimizing your importance to them because last time you were with them They communicated to you as if You were the most important thing in their world now suddenly you don't hear anything from them. You're excluded and minimized And they've been avoidant of you so this these forms of isolation of you is another mark of a narcissist because They suddenly don't see your value to them anymore Or they got weary of you because perhaps you said an opinion that they didn't agree with or perhaps you did put Your foot down about a boundary Or perhaps you did say something that the challenge their self-obsession and so they'll just cut you out minimize isolate is another ongoing characteristic of narcissists Pretty heavy a alright little commercial break guys if you track with me at all especially on my Leadership teachings and postings and podcasts and so on then Just to let you know you may be aware of this already about my live online event coming up on the 8th of May Call transform the leader within It's up there now available to be Booked into this two options a two hour one Where you'll be on the zoom call with me for the teaching and there is a option for a Third hour where we can do live Q&A about the material that I will be teaching I'm going to be speaking about these four pillars in my life that I have identified that have sustained me for decades of Influence relationships Communication and spirituality. I'm gonna be deep diving into these four pillars of my life I want to help you find out what pillars in your life are your non-negotiable true north Support structures because we all have them most people don't know what they are These are mine. I want to encourage you to find them in your life, too in the live event So transform the leader within because real transformation real lasting change guys Has to come from internal transformation rather than external things we tried to bolt on that are not sustained by Internal transformation. So hope you can join me on the 8th of May. All right number seven Nascisist will gaslight and marginalize you Then encourage and praise you simultaneously in the hope you don't spot the manipulation that's going on This is a tricky one because a narcissist will Will will gaslight to marginalize which makes you feel Terrible and unseen and unheard Of course in favor of what they want to say And the volume of themselves they want to increase and decrease yours But then simultaneously they praise you which makes you confused because one minute they're gaslighting you next minute They're saying oh, that's fantastic. You're brilliant. It was great when you said that I think you great at that I think you look fantastic in that and so on and They hope you don't see that that that pendulum swings that you go through in a few minutes with them Watch for that because the gaslighting is telling you something far more Than the praise is the gaslighting is what we should be having the radar for and how that makes you feel as it Marginalizes and shuts you down And the praise is to keep you on board the praise is to give you some sense of Them anaesthetic To to lessen the impact to lessen the pain of the gaslighting and the marginalizing So the praise that they give you and the encouragement Is just enough to kind of balance out the gaslighting that they know they're doing and it's playing with you It's manipulation. It's mental and emotional manipulation. Watch out for that number eight They use people because their agenda and priorities are always more important narcissists will use and abuse you According to what they fear at any given time You can help them with where you are beneficial to them and Narcissists use people and then discard them Um For their own use and their own importance and priorities which of course always more important So they don't see anything wrong With using people for their own ends because they are of course convinced that their priorities are most important And they're convinced that you also must think that of course remember because their lives are more superior than yours And so this narrative that they have about their own self-importance allows them to use you To their own ends because they know at the end of the day You're gonna think what I was so glad to help because I realized, you know, I had nothing to do that day You know, I was just Available Big and add more free time and didn't have things as important as you and that's how they think you think about them So will use you For their own agenda and priorities because they think you don't have any as important as theirs number nine They need people and relationships just like the rest of us, but they're unable to see others as equals So narcissists enjoy of course Company and socializing because it lets them, you know wax eloquent about themselves. It lets them have an audience a Captive audience to feed their self-obsession in all the ways. I just mentioned and so despite Them doing that you Muslim think that in any of that interaction socially they ever see you as an equal to them in any way It's impossible for them to do that so this sense of wanting to have dinner hang out go to the movies these these Um These invitations to socialize with them are confusing Because you know when you are with them. It's so painful for you and it's all about them You think why would they even want to be around people when it's so obvious? That they're obnoxious to be around of course It's not obvious to them narcissists can't see that they are narcissists That's part of the massive blind spotting problem with being a narcissist Compared to many other afflictions we have as humans in our character flaws Narcissism is an unusually strong blind spot So they don't see that being with them is difficult and uncomfortable and toxic So they will encourage social interaction and hanging out and so on whilst being completely unaware That they would never see you anything you say or do or have or be or go or Experience is not an equal to anything. They have ever done or seen or been and had and so on Number ten and finally They will only want you in their world if you offer them financial security or status or some support for a project that matters to them or If you just generally stroke their ego in some way, then they'll keep you in their world Narcissist as I said are users of people and people they want to consistently keep close Are people that in some way serve their status or provide some kind of financial Security or support For their projects or goals or ideas or lifestyles and they love having people around Who generally? Make them feel their ego is been stroked people that go. Oh, ah, wow. That's amazing That's fantastic when they are telling you things that are full of themselves They love people around them that Fawn and Fainter how marvelous they are to any degree then they will they will sponge up That stroking of their ego and it fuels them So if you will all provide that they will want you in their world So you got to ask yourself if I am providing that I need to cut that off because that's the only reason I'm there that I'm not there because they like me or they're a true friend They just want me there for what they can get out of me and think what it is that you bring to them and Then say I am going to cut off and starve that narcissism by not providing that to them Everywhere you think you are doing that At the end of the day narcissism is all about a false sense of self It's a mask isn't that people wear Which slips over time and when it does you should be paying attention because it will slip Oh and you see that slip and how it affects you and you see this Unmassed version of them which these ten points are to help you figure that out and see that Then make sure you pay attention Narcissism is the fear of appearing ordinary Which drives them to exaggeration and showing off in an attempt to appear Extraordinary when their lives really are not that at all Don't ever try By the way as I come to a close with you guys Don't ever try to confront or change a narcissist. It's like trying to nail jelly to the wall Wish them well move away from their toxicity and protect yourself from The toxicity of Narcissists in your world and keep an eye on these things in yourself too Think we can all have narcissistic traits that if we don't catch them early they develop And just you know do any one of these things is awful never mind having you know ten of them or half a dozen of them So it's a heads up to us all to keep an eye on this Alright, well listen. Thanks so much for being here with me on today's show Don't forget to leave a comment or review tag me in where you are listening from and again Thanks for being here with me. Have a fantastic day. All right. Speak to you next time


In the meantime, the Social Democratic Party, as they pay, has warned in turning into campes conditions for joining the party ahead of the 2023 general election. The party may be known as a preservation in a bourgeois sitting at the party based on its mantra would not be used as a vessel or an opportunity vehicle. The stress that the party would not welcome anyone that has a case pending in court or anyone that has been convicted even if the person is now appealing that conviction. Take a listen. I'm very in mind the election guidelines rolled out by INEC and following the intervention of several women in Nigeria who had seen SDP as the alternate platform for power and so SDP as the only alternative to PDP and APC. We bent back forward and we offered to joint process the screening of aspirants candidates for the party primary. So we accepted the premise that there should be a joint effort so that there won't be a parallel process in screening aspirants and candidates for the party because we knew that SDP was the party that everyone saw now as an alternative to the main. Meanwhile, the party will be holding its warden local government congresses on 19 May 2022, state congresses on 20 May 2022 and its national convention on 28 to 30 May 2022. What we had in mind in fixing, what we were fixing for aspirants to pay is the fact that we as the Polka Party, I know we, it's private donations. We were not run by public funds as several of those parties may be. We've looked at the cost of having agents in all the polling units of the federation and that has partially determined the costs of forms in our own party. I think as on average is about the third, about 30% of water all the other parties are forming.

Welcome back to the breakfast and plus TV Africa let's tell you what happened today in 2008 Barack Obama was elected president of the United States of America the first black president to be very precise and it was a time of you know great joy across the country it was not just in the United States especially for the black community or the I'm sure that word is not very very nice you can't see they are black because it sounds very racist so yes Barack Obama defeats Senator John McCain of Arizona to become the 44th US president and the first African-American elected to the White House at a time he was 47 years old Democrat and he gathered 365 electoral votes nearly 53% of the popular vote while a 72-year-old Republican challenger captured 173 electoral vote and more than 45% of the popular vote Obama's vice presidential running mate was senator Joe Biden who is now the president of the United States of America while Macken's running mate was the governor Sarah and she was from Alaska the first female Republican ever nominated for the vice presidency now during the general election campaign as the primaries Obama's team worked to build a following at the grassroots level and use what he I mean his supporters viewed as candidates natural charisma unique lifestyle story inspiring messages of hope and you know change to draw large crowds to his public appearances of course you see that every time Barack Obama makes an appearance I mean he has this charisma he has this he has this thing you know about leadership and he looks very good by the way the campaign was notable for its unprecedented use of internet for organizing constituent and fundraising at the time according to Washington Post three million donors made a total of six point five million dollars donation online adding up to more than five hundred million dollars of course six point five million donation six million were in all of that it was really really really a great one at the time for Barack Obama and a lot of people tilt today still celebrate Barack Obama yeah um yes absolutely he also is one of those well one of the American presidents that ran eight whole years without any scandals whatsoever there was absolutely nothing and you know it's it's crazy because crazy it should be a good thing well it's it's the United States where the system basically will find every single reason to not have a black man in the White House and so for him to have survived eight long years without any scandals without any allegations without anything whatsoever made him definitely one of the most phenomenal you know presidents for the United States he also has been criticized you know a few times for bombing Syria and a couple of places you know it's it's he ordered us you know thousands of bombs to be fired into Syria and you know the during the Arab Spring also so those are some of the things that he's also been criticized for but well still one of my favorite presidents my president now your president you leave it Niger okay so I mean some persons actually would say that that's because he was never criticized because if the book he published he put out all the story his life he felt like everything was already in the book and then there was really and there was really nothing because he felt like everything was already in there so that's really nothing you know to hold them up against I think I think there's there's always going to be in some standard from the Clinton to Jordan to the rest of them anyway stay with us so we'll take a short break when we come back we're moving into our first major discussion for today we're gonna be talking looking deeper rather into the Iqoi building collapse other angles you know that we have not yet spoken about and we'll get into that right after the short break
