Yeah, we're rocking. I like it. What's up everybody? Welcome to the Edge of Tech. Hopefully you guys can hear me and see me okay. I was scrambling to set up. I just got back Monday night from the Rocky Mountain Reprup Festival and had not been to the studio yet. And yeah, that's an old thing now. Not sure what that means. As long as y'all can hear me and see me, we're good. So yeah, I had not been back to the studio since I got back from the Rocky Mountain Reprup Festival. Had all of the things with me so I had to reset up a couple cameras. So we have the forward camera today and the overhead camera today, which is awesome. Travels went good. Yeah, a little late to the party. Yeah, you're right. This is a little late to the party, but that's okay. Better, better late than never, right? Yeah, yeah. I'm drinking my orange cream bubbly. Let me know in the chat what you're drinking. Oh, nice. Saw that printer in person, coax, resells them. We're going to get rocking and rolling right away. So this is the Artillery Sidewinder X2. This is, this was given to me by Artillery and this live stream unboxing is sponsored by Artillery. So thank you so much, Artillery, for sponsoring this video and and shooting the printer over. I have had the printer for a little while now and I just never got it unboxed and I apologize that it's been this long. Yeah, so I had a great time at the Rocky Mountain Reprup Festival. My voice is still not fully back. So I'm going to do my best here. So yeah, it's been it's been an interesting couple days since I got back or day and a half or whatever you want to call it. And yeah, I just I got I think I ate something weird before I left and I kind of got like a little ill on the way home. But coax is only a 15 minute bike, bike right away. Now awesome, Shane. I went to order a pad 70 other day out of stock within seconds of being available. Not sure what that is. I'll have to look it up.  This is the like I said, this is the Artillery Sidewinder X2. I had an X1. It was a good printer. If you remember a while ago, I put the full limit that that really nice bed on there that full limit came out with and it was awesome. Alright, let's pop over. Let's see what we got. Can we see this? Is that okay? Just make sure we're a little let me let me bump this up just a hair, brighten you up, brighten your world up a little bit. There we go. Oh, the clipper pad nice. Alright, so this is the top of the box. I can come down a little if you want to see a little better. Maybe there we go. And you know what I should do all these things that that I'm working on since I got back. Yeah, there you go. There we go. So that is the opening of the box. Inside we have pieces, some pieces and some pieces. So this looks like our spool holder. We'll set that aside. The classic artillery toolbox or tool bag that has all the good stuff in it. There you go. Has a bunch of tools in here. We'll go through that in a minute. What else we got? So a booklet, the artillery Sidewinder X2 booklet. That's awesome. Now I think I'm willing to bet there's a firmware for this thing out there because it's been out for so long power cable. So I probably should be doing that as well. Get the centerpiece out. And there we go. Just throwing stuff. So we got the gantry here. And we can lift that out maybe. Nice. Cos Bricks 15 minute drive. Great job at Murph, Bert, Bert. Thank you so much for you there. I'm assuming you were there if you said great job. Thank you. It was a lot of fun. Heck of a festival. Nugget line. One of the best ones I've been to. There we go. We'll do that. One of the best ones that I've been to. It was awesome. It was big. People were engaged. Like the local community came out too, which was really cool. And it was just like it was really cool to see kids and families. And it was awesome. Very fun. I've heard good things about this printer. Yeah, I was working with Paul. Oh, there you go. You were working with Polymaker. So we were pretty much in the same booths. There you go. I apologize. I didn't recognize your name on here. It was a lot of fun though. See if I can pull some of this out. Just trying to get some of this out so I can grab that base. But maybe not. I can for here. Virtual Foundries. Alright, I'm going to take this here and I'm just going to toss it down. We're going to go under and come back up. We're rocking. Hopefully that is still good. Alright. Nice. I've been out to Virtual Foundries. I haven't been and kind of want to see their setup. What's a Virtual Foundries? What kind of thing is that? Alright, real quick. I'm going to pull this. Oh, do not remove before finish assembly. Alright, I guess we're finished assembly first. So we'll do that. I'm going to put this little thing here. As we know, we'll go back here for a minute. Oh, got it. That'd be cool. I do want to see that. I should check that out. It's all about the base. That's right. It's all about the base. No trouble. No trouble. Alright, looks like they gave us an extra ribbon cable, which is awesome. I always like to see that with their printers. And looks like some Allen wrenches, all the good stuff. Some V-wheels, the USB drive that's in here. At first, I was just thinking to myself, well, hang on here, self, Jim, where are the gantry screws? Because it appears that this has four screws, two on each side. That's it. And then I reached underneath and I found this. They're already in here. There you go. Look at that. Andrew, I hope to check it out. Oh, where are my T-handles? One second. BRB. BRB. Maybe. I know what I did. Left the good old T-handles in the other room where there's no light. No light. Almost back. Can't build something without T-handles. You guys are crazy. I knew I should have brought them back over there. But I got them. At least I remember where they were. That's a good thing. Okay, coming back. Sorry about that. So I really love these T-handles. I just love T-handles in general. It makes things like this so easy. So you choose to use them. Let's see what size we got. That'll do it. All right, we're going to trap this gantry on. As usual, how I like to do it is hang one side just slightly off the edge just so you can get to it. We're going to take the gantry itself and put it on. I probably should look at these instructions to make sure there's nothing special before this part. But I made a magnetic holder for those. Awesome. As I deeper into the hobby, I sourced a pie yesterday. I successfully installed Octoprint. I can't believe I didn't do this months ago. So much more like an inkjet. I love it. I love it. Octoprint is awesome, by the way. Okay. Yeah. First step, add the gantry. That's what we're doing. That's what we're doing. BB3D. Whoa. Whoa. Look at this guy. Man, we really missed you at Remurf this past weekend, Brian. And everybody who didn't get a comm, of course, but it was a heck of a show. It was huge. So currently, I am just screwing in the two... Well, it's going to be four total gantry screws. Very riveting. Not really. More like screws, but not riveting. So I like to... Hopefully. Hopefully screwing them in. This one is... Oh, there it goes. I was like two or three threads out and I'm like, maybe it's going in. Yeah, I know. BB3D towers, huh? I love it. Doing that one next year. Not enough days off. I hear that. I hear that. I'm hoping... I'm pretty sure I'll be at Merf. That's my plan because that one's only like four hours away. I can drive to that one, but we are rocking it. We're going to get this thing built. We're going to get prints on this, and then we're going to talk about it. What else is going on out there? We're going to have to get Brian some extra days off from the towers. That was a lot of fun. As predicted, uh, battle races were a good time. Drag racers were a good time. Crazy, by the way. Wow. I'm glad I have a T-handle for this. This is a long screw. Oh no. That sounds sad, Brian. No IRFs for you this year, huh? Brian, do you have a Sidewinder X2? I can't remember. You don't have... You do have the X2. Awesome. The X1 and the X2. Sweet, do I? Hey, uh, Extreme Elements? No problem. No problem at all, man. You're welcome. That's what we do the videos for, you know? Step two. Uh, well, step... step two is not plugged in yet.  Really, that's step three. But I am jumping ahead. Dun, dun, dun. Dun, dun, dun. No, no. Nobody. The Hampton End Table races, I heard about those. I heard about those. Those were... I heard they were pretty crazy. The Hampton End Table races. I think I saw some video. I was, um, at Murphs, at the last couple of Murphs, I've been boring. I, uh, got Airbnbs and pretty much went and crashed when we weren't at the event. All right. Yes. I did see that. What do you think about your X2, Brian? I like, uh, you know, this is my... Obviously, I'm just getting it unboxed. I'm behind the game here. But, uh, you know, Artillery reached out. They said, hey, can you do an unboxing or a video? I said, sure. Let's get it done. I didn't do it yet. So we're doing it. So thank you so much, Artillery, again, for shooting me the printer to check out. Do this unboxing first look. We're going to hopefully get a first print going. Hopefully, uh, we'll get it rocking and rolling. And, um, figure out where that plugs in in a minute. Looks like those are good. Looks like that's good. All right. Now we need to put the Tulsa. All right. Cool. There you go, Shane. That's a good idea. Chris Travis, I think so. Yes. I mean, I hope so. Uh, they're, they're sponsoring this video. So they hope they're still, you know, around. Whoa! 399 Super Sticker. Thank you so much. 399. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I really appreciate that. Extreme Elements. The Extreme Elements. 399 Super Sticker. I really do appreciate that. You are awesome. Okay. This is the, uh, this is the fun part where we find all the pieces and we put these together and all that stuff. They're supposed to be more pieces than this. Wait. Wait a minute. Nope. That's not it. That's weird. They're supposed to be pieces inside of this. The picture shows some, shows that they're supposed to be screws and a threaded thingamajigger inside of the Sidewinder, uh, spool holder. 399, you out of your mind? All right. So I don't see it there. I don't see it there. I don't see it here. I don't see it here. I don't see it here. So it's got to be, my guess is, it's got to be in the box still, right? I mean, that's, that's the logical theory here that I forgot to take something out of the box, out of the packaging, because I do not see, I do not see the, uh, little rods that you would screw in for the spool holder anywhere. I remember that as well. I don't see anything else in here. According to the instructions, according to the instructions, if you look at it, here's the little spool holder pieces I have. There's supposed to be some screws here and a peg that goes like in the center to screw them in. All I see are these pieces and these pieces. So maybe I'm missing them somewhere. Do not see them anywhere. I'll double check the boxes again. I didn't see it in the foam. I didn't see any packages of screws. Just going through the foam here one more time. Oops, I left you on that view. Sorry. I've got to be missing somewhere, right? Close-up view side of the spool holder. There's that one. Are they these? Stick the rollers on the silver stings. I mean, that they are bearing while they appear to be bearings. I'm down with that. They do not appear to say that in the instructions. I hope they change that by now. I mean, this is quite an old printer now. It's been out for a minute. I'm really hoping they fix that by now because that makes sense to go in there and spin. That's not what the instructions say. All right, let's do this. So then, how are we doing this? It looks like the back. The ball screws are go this way. Classic. Classic. They go on something like this. Like that. That's never going to reach. There we go. Hopefully, like that. So I'm guessing you just hope that your spool is long enough. I mean, or short enough. All right, there we go. So I got it on there. It's not my favorite.  Who's stopping that from falling off? I mean, I could even squish it together a little more. It does not feel like that's very sturdy. But I'm going to go with it. That's the instructions. Let's do it. Plug the filament run-out sensor in. It does have a filament run-out sensor. Boom. They're ridiculously quiet, Brian says. All right, I'm hoping that's on right. Looks like it's on right. Step number four. Connect the Z stepper motors. There you go. Yep, yep. And the filament run-out sensor that says adjust the tension of the carriages with the Allen key. Oh, I see. That's kind of cool. Something I am going to have to look at. I already saw something on the bed that we need to work with. There is something down here that's not plugged in either. I'm not sure what it is. Did I bury something? Because here's a cable on the side. Brian, do you remember what this is? Let's see if it says here. Okay, let me just make sure I'm not forgetting something because I probably am. One goes in there, one goes in there, one goes in there, one goes in there. Yeah, there's an extra cable sticking out right here. Oh, it's the old end stop cable, you think? Unused from old stop. Okay, makes sense. Makes sense. Thank you. Thank you. So now I want you to adjust your carriages here. It wants you to adjust your eccentric nuts. So we will definitely have to check that out. I mean until I can get a moving, I guess I don't know how I can adjust these. But something to watch. Watch this. You see that? There's definitely a spot here. So we can fix that. Let's take this off though. We are done. We are finished assembly. I know. Can I, nice. Thank you. Can somebody check for me if there's a new, wait, wait, wait. Wait for it. Oh yeah. Can someone check for me if there's a newer firmware? I'll check what version I have but I'm pretty sure. It's already set at 115 on the power supply before you guys ask me because I know you will. I would too. I don't know if it's on this side. There's no flat spots on those wheels. Something is definitely doing it. Fix them, dude. $1.49 super sticker. Thank you. Thank you so much. What is stopping this thing? I don't see any, it's really weird. I don't see any flat spots on the wheels but I definitely feel, feel one. I mean it's right here. Let's see. Definitely see it. Fix them, dude. Okay. So the side truck nuts are on the other side. Break on through to the other side. No, no. All right. I do wish this wrench was longer. Just a little. This is a nice wrench though. Gotta give them that. So what I'm going to do is take this eccentric nuts on one side until the bed is wobbly a little bit and then I'm going to bring them back in until it's not. Still got a bump in there but it's not bad. Actually kind of feels a little better. I'm going to leave it. There is a bump. Not sure if it's just a flat spot. I didn't see any flat spots on the wheel but hey, you never know, right? Right. Okay. Here we go. Perfect. $4.99. Thank you so much. Thanks for all the positive energy. You rock. Thank you so much. One of the front corners is higher than the other. What does that mean? I mean here. Thank you so much, Bert. Bert. We do have some stickers on the bed here. There's a 110 sticker that I'm going to peel. Maybe because I don't want it on there. There's a QC past sticker too that I'm going to peel. Thank you for QC'ing my bed. That print bed rocks. Does it? Let's see. Yeah, if they're really rocking it. Yeah, I probably could tighten it up a little, assist a little more. Probably rocking roll all night. Now that I threw the wrench in here, from the corner of the printer where the artillery logo is, if you press down on that corner, the whole printer, yeah. I'll have to see if the feet are adjustable. And this, we're going to dial this back a minute. It's rocking and rolling, Brian. Yeah, right here. On my brand new desk. Okay. Now we turn it on. Oh, you know what else we need? The jump drive. We're getting this bad boy fired up and we're only 30 minutes in. 31 minutes in. Can you believe this? I cannot believe this. So in the front up here is your USB right there. There is a SD card back here, a micro SD card USB, and a power, like I said, in the back is set to 115. Let's see what I got for power cables. That one is way too short. I'm not using that. This one is not exactly my longest one either, is it? All right, we're going for it. This is the one that came with it. We shall use it. No. Just getting it plugged in. So I want to put this thing kind of on the other side of the desk. Surprised we have power. Yeah, look at that. There we go. Solid. The good old instruction manual level. Wefy or internet. So we do have a screen. Can't use a really easy instruction manual. If I'm trying to follow it, huh? What the heck? I'm going to get out my isopropyl alcohol to clean the bed down and have a drink. Cheers, if you're watching. Thank you so much for being here. I know it is a later Wednesday night. I usually don't do a lot of streams, but this is the only time I had to do this stream before I got back out of town. So hey, fix some dude. Look what I got right here. I have so many, so many. I'm going to see if fix some dude is still on. I'm not sure.  Stickers. Got the stickers. I got them all over my bench over here too. All right. Trying to find me a nice little riser. Something to chuck underneath that side so it stops rocking so dang much. Because, you know, things and stuff. All right. Here we go. I got it. Nice, he says. I'm going to use this as my foot. I don't cut my fingers off trying to use it. I wonder if I can just screw the little feet down. This thing is super thick. I didn't realize how thick this was. And I have to sit here all day cutting this. That's not going to happen. That's not happening. We're ripping it off. There we go. Boom. Boom shaka laka. All right. So we got it all built. We plugged everything in. The cable we thought needed to be plugged in is an old end stop cable. We don't need to use that. Yeah. Now it wants us to go to leveling the plate. Before I do that though, I want to clean the plate. Got some 99% isopropyl alcohol. Give it a second. I'm just going to give this thing a good wipe. One for me, one for my homies. Interesting. I wonder if there's something on this bed before. I'll show you why in a second. Oh man. Yeah. 99% isopropyl. Okay. Home the printer. So I guess this is where we see if it moves, right? I probably should turn this so I can see it. Tools. Move. Whoa. Here we go. We're homing. We're homing, homie. We're homing. Homie. That's right. Pour one out for my homing. Sell your oil. I love it. That's funny. Okay. Now go to... I'm going to turn this just a little bit. Just a little bit. Now it wants us to go to tools then level. Slide a piece of paper between the nozzle and the build plate. Move the hot end to all four. So I think we need to heat this thing up, right? I think we need to heat this up first. It says 70 and 240 to do it. So let's go do that real quick here. So we're going to go to extruder 240 because that's what it tells me to do. I'm guessing that means go. Yeah. And then the bed, 70. Man, that's going to be a minute if I've got to heat this thing up to 70. Here we go. Hot end is well on its way. And then once that heats up, we'll go to our... We'll go to our leveling. USB port right there. It heats fast. Okay. I'll believe you. While you're doing that, I think... Look at this. They gave me a piece of paper. Oh, we've updated step five under the assembly. Loosen the six screws. Tighten them only. Okay, cool. They sent me some updated things. Oh, look, updated spool assembly. The remarks. See and stop cable. Hey, look, all of the things I was asking about, they're on this page that was hiding in the manual. Look at that. Dummy, look in the manual. There's the updated spool assembly. There's the question about the cable. And this is the new way to adjust the sides over here. Can you believe it? Can you believe it? Thank you so much, artillery, for doing that. Whether I saw it or not, it's a different story. But thank you. Now I'm going to use this to level. Yes, the X1 had that too over here. Read the manual. Wow, this is already heated up, by the way. Nice. So let's drop this down. We'll hit point one. What is happening right now? Guess we're homing again. There we go. So point one is not great. So we'll fix that. No worries. A little bit tight here. Might as well go to point the second. We're just running through a quick manual leveling. It does have auto bed leveling on here, but you always want a manual level as well. Because the auto bed leveling compensates what you can't do manually or what you don't do manually. Right? I mean, that's a good way to say that, I think. I'm just getting them pretty close here. And I'm trying to follow it with the paper. I always do that, especially because you never know when it's just going to gouge you. We don't want, we don't want your bed to gouge you. David Wilson, what's up? Oh geez, I want to see your review with XL with five tool heads. I need the money to buy an XL with five tool heads. It's like five grand, right? I did see the XL with a single tool head this past weekend chugging away, along with some really cool printers from Voron. A massive printer from Voron, by the way. I mean, like the Voron 24, huge. Met some really good contacts. So that was cool. Just trying to get this dialed in. Always whenever you're manually leveling like this, I always suggest going around at least two times, because when you change one, see that? When you change one, inevitably, when you change one side, the other side, another side's going to change. So always go around two, three times. Make sure your leveling is good.  I like playing with my paper. Hey, I'm just trying to get this thing dialed in nicely. Whoa, whoa. I couldn't catch it. It was too fast for me. Oh, well, it was way off. See that?  So now we got to come down. That's a little better. Yeah, it was great to see all the people. It was great to see everybody that came out this past weekend. We have some videos coming. I promise it might take me a minute, because we got to get it all uploaded to Caleb first. But we have some videos coming. This one's still tight. A lot of footage to get on there. Man, this one is... This one changed a lot. We'll just say that. Good. This one's way off again, too, but not that much closer.  Yeah, this one's super, super on there now. Wish I could have made it. Yeah, Dan me, too. We always have Murph, right? We always have Murph. Murph, Murph, Murph. Yeah, I met some really cool people from Voron. Met the Fabrico crew, Hector and the crew over at Fabrico.  All right, we're going to call that good. Now, I just did that. Now I need to go tools more auto level. More auto level. And I get this out of the way. And it's going to do its thing. Yeah, so like I said, awesome people from Fabrico. I'm at Scott, Edge of 3D. Scott, who is really cool. He did the files for the drag racers. Man, it was cool. We'll always have Murph. Oh, geez. David Wilson, I hope she is okay. Hopefully it changes her life like Andrew Hayes' mom. Fingers crossed for Murph. Hereditary heart problems. Well, hopefully everybody's okay. This thing's not too slow. See how fast this thing's actually moving kind of quick for leveling, for stock firmware, right? But I do. I hope she is okay, David, and send her my best. Please. I still want to do, yeah, Edge C, Murph is great. So it's going to be interesting to see with three, actually four, but three main IRFs. You have Murph, IRF on the East Coast, and Rocky Mountain RepRef Festival, that was just that. It's going to be interesting to see how many people can cross over. Because this year, all three events are within like six months. And that is a lot of travel for us, for you, for the vendors. That's a lot. So, yeah, I got some fixing new stickers for Murph, but not no fixing, dude. Oh, click save to eProm. Absolutely. That was the next step. Click save to eProm. Done. Check. Save to eProm. Do not, let's see, do the following only if the nozzle is scratching on the bill plate or the nozzle is too far from the bill plate. Heat up the bed to 70, go to K, go to 240, go to tools, more Z zero. We'll go see what temp we're at right now. Did it go down yet? So we are at 240 and 70. I'm going to go set the, why not? Let's go set the Z, the Z height. Why not? I'm going to get that paper back out just in case. I'm going to go to Z equals zero. It should be, it should home for us. Go to the center of the bed and go down to where it thinks zero is. Let me wait till it's done probing. Oh yeah. See this? Z equals zero.  We are hitting the button. Come on. It's like 0.025 every time, or 0.025 every time I touch it. So it's not moving. There we go. I'm under. We're under. See? Got a little tight there. I'm glad I did this because it was pretty dang tight. So it says, you know, just slide the A4 paper until it's just with a little bit of drag and then save to E problem. Nailed it. Nailed it. Then it wants me to repeat step two through nine. How about I just repeat nine? I'll just do an auto leveling again. I'm not doing the auto wheels again. I did save it. Oh, I could change the move scale. I should have looked at that. That's okay though. All right. We are there. We're 49 minutes in and it's time to hopefully get something printing on this thing and look up some specs. Look up some info. All the good stuff. Yes. Kyle, dang it. We may be still in the sesh book, but might be there. Got it. Nice tugboat. That'd be cool. 3D HP Jerry. How you doing? Hopefully. Hopefully we see you there next year. I did save it again. Jake for Stay From. Holy moly. Yeah, I'm telling you. Yeah. So far, the Rocky Mountain Red Front Festival was, it was big. We had like, I don't know, 20, 2100, almost 2200 right around there. People come in on Saturday and then something like a thousand people come in on Sunday, which is great, which is really great. So I'm super pumped for Justin and the crew over there. You guys just did such a great job putting that together and they needed a bigger space already. So maybe we'll see what happens next year. Yeah, X2 is a holdover. Okay. Okay. Let me know in the chat what you're drinking. I got the orange bubbly. I got the orange bubbly. So it looks like it's done. I'm going to hit save to the e-prom. Now I'm going to go back. We're going to go home. Let's go see what's on this SD card. All right. Oh, you know what? Chillin' at me because we need filament. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Shot it. Now that is a, now that's a filament warning, huh? Right back. Let me just grab some sweet, sweet filament because I didn't see any in the box. None in the box that I saw. So if I was a brand new person just getting in the printing, I would not be able to print today if I didn't order any filament, right? All right. So there's that. True story. Let's see. I want that color, that color. Here we go. Man, I don't know if that's enough. I guess we're going green. We're going green today. I have so much stuff to print. No time to do it. Okay. So I grabbed some polymaker. There we go. Green, final. This is polylight PLA green and polymaker was an awesome sponsor of my Remurftrip. Thank you so much. You guys, it was so much fun to hang out in your booth. Burt Burt was here earlier. I'm not sure if he's still here, but Nick, man, it was awesome to hang with you and see you guys. And I got that sweet tablecloth that you left for me. I have it. It's in my possession and it weighs like friggin 20 pounds. It is so heavy. What is the deal with this, Brian? Oh, Brian's still on here. But how is this supposed to go through this filament holder? I guess like that carefully. What in the world? Well, I will lower this desk if I have to. So this spool holder, this filament holder is like inside of the rail here. And I'll show you what I mean in one second. Yeah, that's actually not bad. Once you get it in there. So in here, if you can see that it's underneath, it's behind this front rail. So instead of coming forward with your filament out here, it actually goes down and under. It's interesting because it's actually hitting this rail first and then going down. Can you go around it, maybe? Is there a way to... Let's see. There's got to be a way to go around it, maybe. Because that would make more sense. Or like, can I move it out? It's got to do something. No, no. I guess not. I'm not a huge fan, but we're going to go for it because that's how they designed it. And that's how they want us to use it. So we're going to try it. Artillery arm, trust in you. Okay, so we got to push through. Got to bring it down. Pull back, push. I don't see anything coming out yet. The printer cooled down. The printer cooled down, of course. I stopped that print. And of course, the printer cooled down. Okay, we're doing this. Go for it. We got green polymaker poly-like loaded. Let me just see if I can do this a little bit. Well, how about that? Sky down. What is up? I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't be available tonight. Sky down. I wish I was and I wish I was fully over whatever I got on the way home from her. I think I ate something weird either the night before or that morning that I left. All right, printouts. How you doing? I'm watching with amusement. I bet you are. Those tablecloths are expensive. Fixing, dude. Yes, I'm telling you. So polymaker gets tablecloths for, we had a super booth and it was so cool. Like literally we had this monster booth with polymaker. I think the belt, what was it called? 3D belt kits, I think is what the other one was. I think that's what it was called. And myself, the edge of tech. And then of course, zombie hedgehog was there as well. And I'm not sure who zombie hedgehog is. What's maker deck, right? Anyways, so we had a super cube and a super booth and polymaker made these awesome tablecloths and they are monsters. They are so heavy. Well, that was so fast, by the way. I could not see if it looks like it's laying down good. Wow, that was fast. It looks like it's doing an outside, I'm guessing that's not a, I'm not sure what's going on here. We're going to go for it though. It's rocking. So this thing's actually moving. That heated up very, very fast, by the way. And it is now printing a cube, it looks like, must be the test cube. But yeah, super heavy, super heavy tablecloths and they let me take mine home, which was awesome, except it was so heavy in my suitcase. Oh man, so heavy. Yeah, we're going to go through the stats in the second here. Yes, yes, yes. Brian, you remember that time we did a co-stream, we literally live streamed at the same time to build a printer. And I think it was the Sidewinder, no, no. Who was the genius, maybe? Maybe it was the genius back in the day. And then we raced our printers and mine was having some issues. Mine will have some issues. But I can tell you, it ended up being, I gave it away, I brought it to Murph. Oh, it was the Sidewinder X1. Okay. I thought it was the genius for whatever reason. Because I know I brought my genius to Earth. Dan, I think I gave it to, it wasn't it Dan? I might have gave it to Dan. And we found out that all the time I was messing around, it was just a bad, I believe it was a bad SD card. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. This thing is super quiet. Like, if I did this here, I don't even know if you're going to hear anything. It is very quiet. Very quiet. Sidewinder, I'm sorry, artillery. Nice work so far. Thing is very, very quiet. It's pumping. It's actually moving pretty good here. I'm doing adequate. I like it. All right, let me, let me jump in over here. Cancel, cancel. Close this. Let's go check it out. Artillery Sidewinder 2. Popping this bad boy open. I'm going to pop it on the screen. So you guys can check it out. I got to accept cookies. I don't want to chat with anyone. Currently, at least, you know. The fans have kicked on now, by the way. And it is literally not much more, not much more loud at all. Like, barely, barely louder. Okay, here we go. Let's go present. I'm going to drop the screen on. Let's go check this bad boy out. I'm not sure why it's looking all sorts of weird, but we're going to go for this. Okay, so maybe I can make it full screen. It won't be so crazy. It's a little better. All right, here we go. Yeah, that's funny. The fan is rocking. I mean, it's rocking now. It's not much quieter, though. It's really moving. I'm very impressed with how quiet this thing is. So this is the Sidewinder Artillery Sidewinder X2. It is 300, 300 by 400, which is awesome, by the way. It does have a BL Touch, so it does have auto bed leveling. You can get a full metal extruder if you want one, it looks like. Let's just go down and check some stuff out while this thing is printing. It's got auto bed leveling, heat bed, protection, ultra quiet. I would definitely say it's quiet. It is very fast. I think it's an AC bed heater, so it's very fast. Let's see. It does have dual Z, so there is dual Z, excuse me, lead screws that are both motor driven and belt synced at the top. So that's pretty awesome. I did not check them to see if they were level or not. We just went for it. The instructions didn't tell me to check them, so I'm not checking them. Excuse me, tempered glass, touchscreen. What's up, Justin? Maker Viking, what's happening? You know, I think it's rocking. It uses the ribbon cables we've seen in most of their printers. That's what they say here. Titan Extruder Modular Nozzle Kit. The brand new Titan Extruder is equipped with volcano nozzle, which extrudes faster and more. There you go. So they claim a Titan and a volcano in here. 32-bit board, which is great. You need that power. Tempered glass AC bed, absolutely. It heats so fast. I love that, by the way. It does heat very, very fast. 300 by 300 by 400. Might have to bust out a helmet. Should I bust out a helmet? See what happens? Let's see. Double lead screw, yep, with belt synchronization, Z-axis couplers, filament runout. We're just talking about that. If I had to say anything so far, that is not my most favorite filament runout sensor. I don't like where it's located. It needs to come out a little bit or something. Not sure. That's okay. Everything has something. Bed leveling, so it uses the BL Touch, or I'm not sure they're calling it a BL Touch with Matrix Auto Bed Leveling. There you go. Self-adaptive broadband power supply. Interesting. AC heat bed, like we talked about. Touch screen. The touch screen doesn't seem bad at all. Seems pretty good. I believe you're right, print house on that. So let me run out by leveling. Rigged coupling, patented coupler. I guess they have a patented coupler. That's cool. It looks like you get some stuff here. This is everything I showed earlier. So yeah, 300 by 400 is a nice size. I like it. I think what I need to do is just rock and roll on a helmet. First thing, just slice up a helmet and get her flying. That's what I should do. The ballast. Okay. I haven't tried it yet. Make sure I have the insert jig complete. Let's see. What's up BLD0550. The X1 had it pretty good, but the rubber exterior they put the bed cable ended up breaking the cables. Interesting. Andrew Smith. We've got some Andrews here tonight. This one looks like it's on nice. It's attached to the bed nice. This cube is rocking. I mean, it's moving pretty good. It looks really nice too, by the way. Mostly really nice. I think there's definitely some play lines or something, but we'll see what it looks like when we get out of it. A council. A council of Andrews, yes. Of course. So what's your questions? What do you want to know?  Let's talk, excuse me, let's talk artillery sidewinder X2. Is there anything you want to know? Anything you want me to look at? I know somebody wanted me to check the bed. We can definitely do that when it's done here, of course. It's in the middle of printing. It does give us a, let's see, a little bar on the front says 42% completed. And we've been going for 11 minutes and 55 seconds. So not bad. This thing's going to go pretty quick. A shout out again to artillery for sponsoring this live stream. So far the machine seems pretty good. This is the first print, obviously. I don't know much about it, but it's very quiet. Even with the fans running, it is quick and easy to build. I mean, literally it took me four screws, two in each side of the gantry, and that's it. Then adjusting everything. Then doing your bed leveling. Don't forget to drop on your spool holder and plug in all your wires. I mean, it was very fast. The glass bed should not be removable. Well, let me say that again. The glass bed is removable, but everything underneath it will come with it. Meaning to say, yeah, there's a microSD and USB, by the way. Meaning to say the heater and everything is attached to the bottom of the bed. So if you take the bed, the heater comes with it.  There's that. Time to kick over to my water. This is just a giant rock USA water here. So, glass bed removal. Yeah, copy that. Over. Now I love it. You know, I was expecting like a two to three hour stream, right? And this thing went together so fast, like so fast that I had it turned on in 31 minutes. I'm pretty sure. Holy moly. That never happens just because I talk too much, but how fast can it go? That is a great question. Let's see if they give me anything in here. How fast can I turn it up to? Or how fast can it go? Those are two different questions, right? See if they give us any stats in their book here. I haven't seen any yet. My hands are so dry. Sorry. I don't see any specs. There, of course, there's a slicer. Oh, here we go. Specs. So it looks like layer resolution is 100 to 300 microns. It's 0.4. It does not say. It doesn't say like what the max speed or anything is, but I don't know that answer. We might have to find out. Lies. Lies. Turn this into a cement printer and print a wishing well. It will shine your shoes next time I see you. I love it. I definitely, we can find out. Let me, let me jump in. So, so let me, while we're talking here, let me just move you guys to a different screen briefly so I can open this up. It's going to tell me there's an update because I haven't opened this up in a while. This is Prusa Slicer is what I mean by open this up. Of course, knew there'd be an update. I believe there's an X2 profile already on here. That's why I'm jumping in right now. Gotta wait. I'm going to have to see what you guys are talking about. What is this series called? Fringe. Fringe. What's fringe about? This is pretty cool. I'm not joking. This is actually nice so far. It's very quiet. I'm glad that I got this thing out of the box. There are some lines, but I want to double check the Z-axis to make sure it's actually level, or I'm sorry, the X-axis. And remember, we had those bumps too. Not sure if there was wheels or what. I was going to look into that, but that is still a thing. So that could be causing a little bit of issues. All right, here we go. We're just going to go, okay, great. It's got to close the old one. Fringe Science. As a team of guests gets cases of science gone awry, they discover connections to their own past. Ooh, to a parallel universe. Interesting. Interesting. I'm sure it sounds cool. I bet my wife and I would love to watch that. Actually, Lindsay and I are down for that. Problem is time. We have so many shows that are right now have episodes. I just don't have time to watch them. I feel so bad because I don't have time to watch them. That's why. I need to make more time. All right, there we go. We're just getting it open here. Reconfigure. Boom. We're reconfiguring. Cocoa, the Cocoa Press was amazing, by the way. Freaking amazing. Oh no. They only have a Sidewinder X1 on here. What will I do? Well, there's artillery. Interesting. I wonder if artillery means X2. Because they have an artillery Sidewinder X1. They have an artillery or an artillery beta. Anybody use Prusa Slicer with this? And if you do, what profile do you start with? This looks much smaller, like the genius, maybe? I can't tell. We're going to go find out. Let's go see what this bad boy artillery profile looks like here. Artillery Genius, Artillery Genius BL Touch. Oh yeah, we were going to check out the firmware too, weren't we? I need to go back in. So I got to go grab that X1 profile. It works fine with the X1 profile. Thank you, Brian. I imagine it is pretty close to the same machine, right? There we go. Sidewinder X1 filament. Sure. Cool. So let's check out. We got the Prusa Slicer set up. Brian, have a great night. Thank you so much. Cube is very close to being done. We're looking at 78%. You were close. You were close. 78%. Artillery, I'll see you now, Gluel. Somebody was eating a lot of the product. Maybe Jim. That's funny.  Did you do something? Did I missed it? Or was it this still? Hopefully, I didn't miss it. X1 doesn't come with an ABL X2 does. Good point. I'll dump. I will jump. Brian, you're absolutely right. Thank you for swinging by, Brian. It was great to hear from you, man. You're right. I need to go in and fix that profile, huh? Because if I go to print, it's not going to go dingy, dingy, dingy. Custom G code. Cool. I'll play with that before I slice something. Let's not forget that.   There always is. There always is. 78 still passing, yes. Let's go see what the newest firmware is. Artillery, Sidewinder, X2, because, you know, firmware and stuff. I'm sure there's got to be new firmware for now. I don't see why there wouldn't be. Here we go. I found Source. Found Source. Okay. Firmware for manual leveling. Here we go. Let's go see if it tells us what version this is. It does not tell us what version it is. I'm going to download it. We're going to check it out when it comes. It's just a bin file. So I have no idea what version this is. Here's a Sidewinder X2 TFT firmware 3.62 file. So I'm guessing if we upgrade it to 3.62, we have to upgrade the screen, which makes sense. So when it's done, we'll check what version it's on before we play. I don't even need to probably do this, but I always just like to upgrade it if I can. Good night, Mr. Dude. This thing is almost done now. What do we got here? 91%. So you're telling me an hour and 20 minutes. I unboxed it, set it up, and we got our first print done. We must be in the twilight zone. That never happens, huh? That is super fast. That right there, besides fact, it didn't come with any, mine didn't come with any film it, right? But if I was a new user, this is my first machine ever. I could get it out of the box. I read the instructions. I put it together in an hour and a half. I have my first print off the bed within one hour and a half of unboxing it. That's pretty awesome. That is pretty awesome. My cat's enjoying watching Darth Vader FC3S. Yes. Hi, kitty. But I'm serious. That's amazing. That is, that's amazing. I will take it. Ah, got it. Good day, Mika Steve. How you doing? So again, the Sidewinder X2 from Artillery. So far, it's been awesome. Easy to put together. The instructions were pretty good. Sorry, I'm out of the light there. It's very quiet running right now. It's rocking and rolling. I'm very, I'm very excited. I'm actually really excited about this thing. Offset maker lab. What up? Sorry, I, sorry, I wasn't available. I'm sorry. I was here.  Real quick, I'm going to jump on here to the artillery X2 group, a group that I'm in. That's where I'm going. Not the armor group. That's RC. Sorry about that. Artillery. I'm going to go see if there's a, let's do a search in here. So let's go for X2 profile. If anyone out here has done one. Not for Kira. How about interesting. Cool. Some people have some good info. All right, here we go. Maybe, maybe. So this just got done. It's glass. I need to let it cool down for a minute, but it was pretty fast. 26 minutes, 32 seconds for the first print, which is the cube. I'm sure it's going to take a minute for this glass to cool down because it was pretty hot. All in all, doesn't look terrible. Not bad at all. So somebody says, just add this in the G code and you're good. That's Kira though. So we're going to go do X2 Prusa slice it. I'll have to go through and play. So many, so many. Cool. So pretty much everybody's saying use the X1 and add the G29. Got it. That's what we're going to do. Boom. Shaka laka. Posted on your channel. What? No, they didn't change it. 17 minute eventually. I wish. Posted on your channel. Dog, raid or speed printing thing. Yeah, I love it. So basically what they were telling, but everybody pretty much said is just go find your G28, drop your auto bed leveling after that with the G29 and call it a day, which is fine. We could do that. I was just hoping maybe someone dialed one in pretty good and I could use it and give them some credit, but that's okay. I'm good with it. Let's go see if this thing is cold enough to take out yet, huh? Yeah, you like that? I was just wondering how long someone would take to notice that. Fixed it. Print house. Yeah, the bed replacement that Fulamint sells. I have one on my X1. It's very, very nice. Full of bed, I think. Full of bed. This thing is still on there pretty good and I don't want to break it. I'm going to let it cool down. It's the right thing to do. But it's pretty good. Oh, I say like 26 minutes or something. 26 minutes, 32 seconds. That's pretty dang good. Pretty dang good. I do. I have an X1. I did some videos on it and I did that full of bed replacement. Super good. Super flat. Really nice. I like my texture PEI myself. Some people, with this one, theoretically, there's no one stopping you from putting it on. So I'm going to let it cool down a little bit. Some people, with this one, theoretically, there's no one stopping you from throwing a magnet over the top of your glass and doing it. Why not? Why not? Yes, I return my shopping carts. That happens. There you go, Andrew Smith. Absolutely. That's funny, David. That is funny. I want to get this off but I don't want to be too impatient. It's still pretty, pretty warm. I don't want to go scratching up the glass bed. First time I use it. We've all been there. Yeah, a lot of people do that. A lot of people take the magnet, drop it right over the top, and then throw your flex on top. You're going to lose a little bit of Z a little bit. But hey, people love the PEI and they love the magnetic sheets. So the aluminum bed from Fulament is super nice. Go back, check out my video. It's a while back, but I have an affiliate link in there. If you use that, I would really appreciate it. Compressed air upside down and hit it. Should we try it? I think I have some can there. I actually do. I shouldn't do this, but I just want to get this thing off and check it out. Ready? Whoo! Whoo! That's not going to help me. I might need more. I used ice. That's funny. I could spray it with IPA, yeah. This thing is on there. This could be a jackhammer situation. I'm also being very impatient. We've already established this, right? Very impatient. I'll clean it. Clean it, clean it, clean it, clean it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Didn't help. Tried it all. Smack a hammer. Yeah, we could do that. Get a scraper like it's 2020. Yeah, there's some good adhesion here, but it's still about 40C. So it's still warm. I don't think they give you a scraper. So I don't think they want you scraping their bed up to be fair. I mean, let's be fair here. A pink hammer situation. Smack it. Everybody's saying, smack it. We are being super impatient, huh? I like it. Let's see what I got. Here, this will work. So I got a heavy, heavy wire cutter and a, what's it called? Look at that. Look at that. A scraper. Wire cutters coming right off. Didn't even scratch it. Man, professional.  Not bad. For 26 minutes, this is not bad at all. Here, let me see if I can show you. So this is the top. Not the best without the light. It's not bad. Not bad. That's the side. Yeah, I'd say for a first print, pretty clean first layer. Oh, geez. I dropped it, of course. First layer's good. Looks pretty clean. Pretty clean. Now I'm just going to have to remember to get a jackhammer. Every time I want to get it off, there we go. You can't really see that from there. There. Super clean. So now what I need to do is either change the filament out or load up some different color filament and rock something. Rock something big. Maybe like, like helmet big. Right? Yeah, yeah. That's funny. So what's so good about printing so fast? If you have to wait an hour to get your prints off the bed. Funny. I used hairspray on my glass. I used hairspray in my hair once. No, I did. I used hairspray in my glass. What else? X3D just put out a Morph Gideon helmet. What? Might have to check that out. Man, that's awesome. Well, I tell you, this thing printed quick. It built so fast. Like I was totally expecting this to be a two to three hour stream. But I had it turned down in 31 minutes, you know, so there's that. It built so fast. Something we could check is we could measure our gantry. That's probably a smart thing to do. To do that, I like to use a ruler myself. And I'm going to push this right over to the side. I'm just curious if I come straight down off your gantry and you measure from the same spot on both sides. Where we're hitting, right? Like my xcantry videos show most of them, I like to be within a millimeter. Let me just unplug it so I can turn it. I want to be within a millimeter. And if it's not, then we need to do some adjusting on this one. We should be pretty easy to adjust if we're not. So I'm going to go to the top. So we're looking at 35, 6, no 34, 35, man, that's close. This is just me being crazy. I could go to the top too, but I'm just curious if it's even close. And the springs that I just adjusted, if I'm going down, we'll have a bearing on this. You can go down to the plate here. Down here, because that doesn't have springs on it if you wanted to. But really, all that matters is that this xcantry is level to your bed, right? Nothing else matters. I mean, we just want this to be straight across. It was within one millimeter, so that's not bad at all. It would be nice maybe if they thought about doing their thing like Prusa and Sovol do where they raise it up and run it into the top to fix it. But that's something that if you don't have this straight, you're never going to be level.  Did I check my, I didn't check my firmware. Let's do that and plugged it to spin it around here. Let's find out what firmware we have. Point, I like to be within 0.020. Yes. Howdy. Howdy, howdy. All right, so tools. More. Not there. Nope, not there. What's that? About. So we're on version 3.0.5 of the firmware and on Zibin file, I don't know what it is, but I know the TFT is 3.26. So we could, you know, I could pop over to the TFT. Wow, if I could see my, we could unzip this and see if it's a whole file or just, just the TFT, just the screen. It's just the screen. Dun, dun, dun. It's fonts and all that stuff. But then I think I have to take this all apart, guessing and plug it into the screen. I'm guessing. So I'm, and I'm guessing if I put this bin file that I downloaded, it doesn't tell me what version. I'm not a fan of that. Artillery, if you're watching, please put your versions on your firmware. So the Sidewinder X2 stock firmware. That's all I got. I mean, I could flash it and find out, but I might have to flash the screen too then. And that could be interesting, which means I probably have to take the bottom off. I'm just guessing. I'll have to take the bottom off, find the SD card slot in the screen, throw it in there. Just guessing because I haven't done it on this yet, but I don't see anywhere else I'd be able to do that. But we could, we could flash the firmware and find out. I mean, worst case scenario is I jack it up, have to open this thing up and do the screen too. Let's see. The equivalent of f-round and find out, right? Let's go see. Watch, it goes backwards. And I'll be in trouble. Bin file is on. Oops, eject. Let's go see. So the bin file's on here. I'm going to pop it in, flip it on. It shows me an artillery symbol, and it didn't do anything that I can tell. Let's go look. Nope, same still version. Still same version, I mean. So I don't think I've updated anything. Maybe there's not an update. Maybe that was the same firmware and the TFT screen firmware is also the same. I'll dive into that a little deeper. But pretty awesome, man. We got, you know, we got, this thing was built fast, printed pretty good. I'm thinking about throwing just something really big on it and letting it fly and we'll see what happens, right? I don't want to use this green. I want to throw something else, a different color on. But yeah, maybe I'll start a helmet or something. I still am a little bit concerned about the divots. I still feel them. I just feel them when I'm pushing it. It's not actually stopping the printer anymore like it was. It was like, stop, stop, stop. So maybe just getting everything rolling helped a lot. But I do still feel a little bit of them. Any questions? Any questions? Again, 300, 300 by 400. Man, it built so fast. We can definitely adjust your centric nuts and stuff. There's a way to do that. It's on the sheet there. I don't necessarily know that I'm gonna until I see there's an issue. I mean, unless I can get it loose and check them, I don't really want to mess with that. But I will take some more water. I could throw some gray on this.  So I've done a couple of those garbage trucks for my little guy and she really wants one.  Who's an eccentric nut? Yeah. Yeah, there is, is, there's definitely some bumping in the wheels a little bit. It's not as bad as it was when I pulled it out of the box. So I'm hoping running it for a while will maybe smooth them out, even it out. But if not, I'll definitely check out some new wheels. Lee Luna, how you doing? Hello, Jack in the shop. Mine was bumpy because I didn't realize they had a zip tie under the bed. Did you? There's a zip tie under here. I hope not. I don't see any zip ties. That would be crazy. I didn't see any. But that would be awesome if it was because I would rather have that issue than, than, you know, the other issue. Good Lee Luna's doing good, or Lulina's doing good. You got this. You got this. We did good. 300. We unboxed it, got it built, and did the first cube in a super fast time, way faster than I thought we were going to get it done. Let's see. Jack in the shop. That's awesome. So let's, let's show you guys one more time. This is the top of the artillery cube. This was the side. I'm just going to show you all the sides here. Super good. And you can see the nice, nice layer on the bottom too. So overall, pretty good. Pretty good print. Directions are pretty good. Read the extra things they throw in the directions because I didn't see that at first. Man, anything else. I got to love the little tool pouch. I always love they, they give the little tool pouch out. This one. So cool. Quality so far so good. Yes, absolutely.  I'm really thinking I might just have to throw a big print on this thing and let it fly. See what happens. I got Prusa Slicer. I'm going to update there. I updated the G code. So I just need to, you know, get something sliced, toss it on here and let it fly. But yeah, I think I'm going to, I think I'm going to get going soon because we are to the point where we've unboxed it, checked it out. We did a first print. Not nearly as long as I thought it was going to take. And I can't believe it was that fast, which is a really good thing. I'm telling you, if you're a brand new person into this, you follow these instructions and I had it out of the box set up and I had my first print that fast on a machine like this, I would be pretty happy. I would be pretty happy. So check it out. If you're interested in a 300, 300 by 400 bed slinger so far, not too bad. Obviously, a lot of testing to go. A lot of prints need to be printed. But initial thoughts, I've said it about about five times now, not bad at all. Everything rolls nice. Spool holder rolls nice. The only thing I have to complain about currently is the placement of your filament sensor. I'm not a fan of it right here. It rolls around the back of this roller here. The filament does and like into it. I'm just not a fan of that. Either I wish it was clear or like maybe right here out a little bit or something.  Heats up very fast. Yeah, looks good. Looks good. Just double checking for any more comments. Hopefully, I'm not missing any. I'm going to jump over here to comments. Good quality. I didn't miss any good. So yeah, anything else? Any questions before I go? I'm almost at two hours. I didn't expect it to go this fast. I'm awesome. I'm happy that it did though. So there's anything else I can answer before I go about the Artillery Sidewinder X2. I think I'm going to run over, hopefully grab some filament.  I love that model. It's a cool model. David Wilson, I think, hooked me up with that. So David Wilson thinks so. Maybe. Said, hey, check this out for Tristan. I've not seen a comment in a minute. So I'm hoping nothing's frozen. Oh, there we go. Would you recommend for a newbie? You know, initial, very initial thoughts. Remember, I literally just got this out of the box an hour and 50 minutes ago. One little print. I've only done this. This. But based on my X1, which I thought printed very well, and based on this, so far, how fast it was out of the box to set up and the initial print I got. Okay. I think if you were a beginner, I would look into this as one of your options for sure. I'd be 100% honest. I cannot say go buy this as a beginner. Absolutely. All that stuff because I haven't had enough time. I have had one 26-minute print. That's it. I am. So I can't say go rush and buy it, but I can say definitely put it on your radar. Do your research. This printer's been out for quite a while.  So go check them out. Not only myself, Brian Vines. Excuse me. That just caught me off guard. Check out Brian Vines. Check out all everybody who did reviews on this and see what they say. I don't think I've watched any of them. So X2 or the Soval. That's a tough one. Ed C. That is a really tough question. So I don't know. I mean, I printed a lot more on my Soval. So I can't answer that honestly. I can't answer that. I printed a lot on that Soval. It's actually sitting right here because I had to take it off the bench. That's the pluses over here, this SVO6 plus. I can't answer that because I just have not printed with this enough. To be fair, I can't answer that. Am I ready for all the bed drop printers? Yeah. It's going to be a year of that. It's going to be a year now, right? It's going to be a lot of stuff. You never know. It must be, yes, bedtime soon. It might be, for me, the year of the Voron or the rat rig. You never know. But yeah. Other than that, I think we're good. I think this thing is done its thing. Check it out. I would definitely dive deeper into it. If it's something you're looking for, if you need the size, I was definitely a printer to check out. I would go watch everybody else's reviews too. This is definitely not a review. It's a first look, an unboxing, a build, and a first print. It's not a review.  But I can say it's definitely worth putting on your list to check out, 100%. Also, if you don't want to break this SD card here, just get a micro SD or just be very careful because I could break that probably. It must be bedtime. A little water. All right. Well, everybody else out there, I really appreciate it. I know this is a random Wednesday, but I think it was definitely worth it. I think that this printer is going to be awesome. I'm going to throw it through its tests. We're going to print some stuff. I'm going to start letting it fly by itself. Hopefully we can get some helmets on here, maybe. We can get some taller vases. It is 400, right? Might as well see what tall vases look like. See if it wobbles at all or anything like that. I'm sorry. It's definitely on my fault. But put this thing through its paces. Now you got me. Now you got me. See that? I just set myself in a loop. I did not sleep great last night, so I'm ready for bed. But let's do this. Let's revisit this printer in, I don't know, a month or two in May or June here. Let's see what I've printed on it and let's see how I feel about it then. Until then, I really appreciate everybody stopping by. I do appreciate you guys hanging out with me on a Wednesday night. Random livestream, but thank you so much. Over 60 people were in here a little bit ago, which is awesome for a random Wednesday night. We don't have our Europe crowd this late as well, most of them. Everybody else, thank you guys so much. I can't thank you enough for following the channel, liking, subscribing, all of the things, because if you guys weren't here, I wouldn't be here either. So if you met me at Remurf at the Rocky Mountain Reprupt Festival, you know, it was awesome. Let me know in the chats who you were and the most people came up and said, hey, this is who I was. It was so cool to meet so many people. So you guys are awesome. Artillery, nice work. I think this thing is going to be a very nice printer, so far, so good. Thank you again for sponsoring this livestream by sending me this printer, and I definitely appreciate that. Everybody else, have a great night. We will see you.  Yes, random livestreams are fun, but I will see you Monday for sure for HotMakes on the HotMakes channel. We'll probably put it on here too, and we'll go from there. Hey, everybody, have a great night. Thank you so much for being here. Bye.


Hi guys, it's Monica. Thank you for joining me. This video is going to be, I think, about some favorites in May. Now, when I say I think, it's really hard to come up with favorites, but I do have a few things that I absolutely have so enjoyed in May and they're not going to be makeup. They're not going to be skincare. And I also have a couple of products, even though I haven't been shopping. So I hope you join me in this video where I talk about some May favorites. I feel like a broken record. I come on here and I go, Jesus, it's really hard to find something good about May, just like I said about April, just like I said about March. And I really have to say what's happening right now in our world with the horrible, horrible, horrible death and the police brutality that happened in that particular case with George Floyd. And it isn't an isolated incident. I know that. I was reading about a young black woman that was shot by police that raided her apartment. And I know there's a number of different situations and things of that nature that have happened. I do think it is time. I think it was Casey Neistat. I'm going to link his video with your Casey Neistat fan. He put it, he put it in the right way. Yeah, it's time to put on your boots and let your voice be heard. But it isn't the time for rioting and looting because that diminishes the cause. And I know that when I lived through the sixties, Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, all of that stuff, I know that those were such hugely difficult times and there were riots and there were protests and all that. And I am so for protesting. Let your voice be heard. I've said it a number of times. Vote. Let your voice be heard. March. But put on your boots. But be really respectful because not every police officer is bad. Not every white person is bad. Not every black person is bad. Everybody, everybody cannot be painted with that same paintbrush. You can't judge police by what happened.   You just have to be really super, super respectful in that process because when, when you're not, then it kind of diminishes everything, the value of everything, the impact of everything because all people are going to remember is the looting and the rioting and the destruction of innocent people's properties. And you know, they're going to forget the cause. That's something to worry about. The cause. Racial discrimination. There is no place, no place in this world for that. Anyways, I want to think about May and I want to think about some of the good things that have really happened. But first, I want to mention two products. Many of you know that I do a lot of wig reviews. I talk a lot about hair and wigs. Well, one thing that you may or may not know is that my biological hair, my bio hair is pretty thin. And sometimes I wear hair helpers. I have a little fake bun on. Sometimes I wear toppers. Sometimes I just wear my biological hair. I'm very high forehead. But one thing that has super, super helped me that I just want to mention because it has been a favorite this month because I'm not walking around every day with a wig on. I'm not, you know, sometimes I have my baseball hats on. Sometimes I have bandanas on. And, but more often than not, sometimes I just have my own hair. So I just have to mention this Helium 4 Flex. I've had this for quite a while. One of my subscribers had recommended it and I bought it and I, I absolutely love it. This spray has totally saved my life when I don't have a wig on. And the other, and this was sent to me complimentary from the Octoly Network in exchange for a review. And this is better not younger. And this is their lift up mist. What you do with this on your damp hair, clean damp hair is you spray it and you lift up the roots.  I've only used this maybe three or four times. I really like it. I like it a lot. However, if you have thin hair and you're styling your hair, I have not found anything that works better than this Fiber Flex. And this, this is from Helium. And I would highly recommend if you suffer from thin hair and you're looking for a spray, anything to give you that volume on dry hair, perfect. And so far, better not younger. It's pretty darn good on my wet hair. So those are the really the two products that I wanted to mention. I have finished a lot of products. I have gone through my eyeshadows and stuff like that. And I think that's going to be a separate video, but my favorites. So one of the things that Jay and I really wanted to do was, and I've been, I've been wanting this for quite a while. I've always wanted to have a fire pit. I love camping. You guys know that. I like to go camping. We like to have a fire. We have fires overlooking the ocean. It's beautiful. But because we've been homebound, I'm like going, oh my gosh, let's do a fire.  We had to put it together. We had to build it out first. We put it on blocks and we knew it wasn't going to go on blocks. Then we bought those flat cinder pavers or whatever. We put it on that, measured it out and put it up and oh my gosh, I'm going to share with you what we did. It was so much fun. Jay has it all set up. He is ready to light a little fire in here. Yeah, and we have some kindling over there. We'll probably clean up the yard with all this kindling. Probably get the yard done. I don't smoke anymore, so I can't give you any matches. That's not gonna help. No, you need to, you need to get the kindling to go. I can feel some heat already. But it's just smoldering. Oh my god, look at that smoke.  Here we go. This is a McGillicuddy. Fire. Woo. My feet sees. Look at those flames. Holy smokes. So we've been actually out there at night every now and then having a cocktail, having a fire, and just enjoying it. You know, I love walking around my backyard because I absolutely love listening to the birds and and I have lilacs. Lilacs are my favorite, favorite, favorite flower in the spring. It's it's unfortunate they come and go so quick. I wish they would stay a lot longer but I love my fire pit. Definitely a favorite. I love my my flowers walking around my backyard with my bird feeders and I just love that whole, you know, that whole ambiance of the yard. The other thing we did is because my company acquired two offices in the state of Maine and real estate is essential and I do real estate training, we have acquired these two offices so I had to work in Maine to do some training. So Jay and I took a trip, drove up to Maine so that I could see where the offices were so I could find them the next day because I was due to go there Monday and oh my gosh, you know, we drove along the coast. Sun was shining, it was warm, it was hardly any traffic obviously and we we went up to Kenny Bunk and then we went into Kenny Bunk Port and we stopped at this church and we've gone to this church before and it's usually you really can't find parking but you know usually it's it's kind of busy or there's a wedding out there but we stopped at this church and it was beautiful, overlooks the ocean. It was so peaceful and so calming. I could have stayed there the whole day. We just sat there and we we just watched the ocean in this beautiful spot. The stone church is magnificent. Then we continued on and we went up to Kenny Bunk Port where well in further in Kenny Bunk Port we went up by the bush compound. We always stopped there. Usually it's packed with cars but this time we got a great parking spot. We were able to get out, took photos, took a video clip from from the side of the road. There's like an onlook and you can see over the the water. You can see the bush compound and it's just such a beautiful beautiful spot up at the coast of Maine. Then we went through Cape Portmouth and we went through Bineford and then we turned around and we came south and we stopped in a Gunkwood, Maine. Now in a Gunkwood, Maine this is just a it's an amazingly pretty little coastal town with shops. It's usually heavily heavily populated with tourists. It's very difficult to find parking. They have a beach called a Gunkwood Beach and it is a beautiful flat sandy beach which is kind of rare in Maine but a beautiful flat sandy beach usually packed. So Jay and I were able to find a parking spot. We got out, we walked all around the beach. It was just it was amazing. There was hardly any people there and the sign said wear a mask, do social distancing. Well yes, we had our masks with us. We did social distancing obviously but it was just it was just the most amazing I think afternoon that we've had in a long time. I mean this is the first time we've gone to Maine so definitely definitely for me, Maine with those two events was to me the fire pit taking a ride to Maine was just fabulous. So the other thing is now that I'm working in Maine a couple of days I also we've I'm working out of our Exeter office which is a new location. I love it. They've just done this office over, acquired this building and and redone. It's really pretty pretty office so I've been hanging out in our Exeter office a lot and I just love how I love the setting. I love the location. It's just a pretty pretty spot ever since the third week of May. I've been going into the office each day whether it's Exeter or London Dairy or up to Maine now. I'm back sort of in the grind of you know knowing getting dressed in the morning instead of just half dressed you know when I was home but I'm back into the into the grind. It it makes me feel better to be back into that kind of a routine and it also this whole these whole all these ever since March this COVID-19 horrible horrible horrible thing that's been happening and so many people being sick and so many people dying. It's made me appreciate the small things in life. I went down to my mom and dad's house. I sat there and I talked to them outside and they have these amazing beautiful rhododendron bushes.  I just sat and talked to them and mom and dad are doing well. I know a lot of you always say how are they doing. Today is Sunday when I'm filming. I don't know when I'm going to get this edited and uploaded but this afternoon they're actually coming up to my house. We're going to have a social distancing barbecue. So life is somehow falling into a new normal type of a routine but there's so much unrest and there's so much sadness you know even in our towns in New Hampshire. I drove by protestors but these people just holding signs. Black lives matter. Some held signs. All lives matter but they were all together and and they were their voices were heard. You could hear them chanting but there was no violence. It was these people young and old expressing their opinions and you know I live in a state called our state motto is live free or die. My license plate says live free or die. I've always believed always believed that everyone should live free. Everyone should live free and I've always believed that everyone was as you know everyone was as good as the next person. There was not anyone that was going to be better than the other. Yes some people have more money. Some people have more opportunities but as human beings we all have a heart. We have skin no matter what color. I love a heart and that heart beats and inside our heart is how we should I think reflect upon each other. So when I talk to you I'm talking from the heart. When people talk to me I want them to talk from their heart. I want them to treat me like they would want to be treated. Yes that's what it comes down to. Let's treat each other the way we would want to be treated. I don't know what the answer is and I just knew that I could not shoot a video and not address what was happening. There's so many of you my my friends my subscribers my people the people that see and visit me all the time. So many of you are in harm's way and I worry you know I worry about that because I know I've talked to some of you you're you know in areas where there's a lot more than just protesting going on. So my heart bleeds and I hold you all in my prayers. I don't want this to be too long. I just wanted to address what's going on and talk about those two products and my favorites. So next video I'll show you all my empties. It's so cool. My gosh. I'll show you my empties.


Today we're excited to welcome a 12-year-old artist with an entrepreneurial instinct. Jordana Slapo joins us to talk about how she turned her love for painting into a business that creates custom shoes for her clients. This is School of Hustle, the show where we find advice and inspiration from people who are making their own way. I'm Shannon, the VP of social here at GoDaddy, and I live and breathe the hustle of business. Today we're filming from the hustle of it all at the WeWork Times Square in New York City. Jordana, a really big warm welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me. Well, I'm really excited to have you today. You are our youngest guest to ever be on School of Hustle. Congratulations. Thank you. You're 12 years old. And you know, some people might say that 12 is too young to be an entrepreneur. What would you say to those people? You're never too young to follow your dreams. I agree with that. It has to start somewhere, right? You love art. I know that you're very talented because I've seen your art. I'm blown away that somebody at 12 can do what you do. You took that love for art and you turned it into a business where you are creating custom orders for shoes. How in the world did you develop this idea? It's brilliant. I started by just wanting to design my own stuff and people started seeing it and they started asking me questions about it. And then I just realized that I can make my favorite hobby into something that I could get money out of. That is truly music to my ears. That it's so this spirit of what this entire company GoDaddy is all about. I would love to learn about some of these clients and projects that you have. Like who's putting money in your pocket? Who are your clients and what do they ask you to do? They usually ask me for things that they are interested in or camps or colleges.  So it's a concept at the start and then do you create a storyboard of what it might be and help them figure out what the final product could be? You brought some things with you today. So I would love for you to show us some of the work that you have with us. Let's start with this. Tell me about this. This is very new. I just started playing around with the hot glue gun and I wanted to try the dazzling shoes. And then I started and I thought it was very fun to make. And I feel like it took stress away. It helped me show a different type of art. And I was just very pleased with the result. When you see a different type of art is it because you typically paint on shoes like this? I usually draw with paint pens. This is more recent and I wanted to see what else I could do because you always need some sort of change. So I wanted to change it up by the dazzling. I like what you just said about always needing some sort of change. The spirit of innovation and pushing your product and your craft keeps you competitive, keeps customers coming back. Why is it important to you to continue to push your art and create that change that you're talking about? I just want people to see all different types of ways that you can look stylish. So how do you get this out there? You have your painted version. Is this freehand or stenciled? Freehand. Yeah, so you're freehanding painting shoes and you're bedazzling others. How are you getting the word out so that people can see the product and see the changes that you're adopting? I'm posting a lot on social media. I have an account that I show all of my shoes on and some of my drawings that I do on paper. And then people start seeing it asking me questions and then that's how my business really started. Well, when you think about setting goals for your business, how would you define the goals that you want to achieve? Is it the money that you make? Is it new clients? How do you think about those goals? It feels good to finish some type of design and know that they're happy with it. And I know that I get to enjoy what I'm doing while I'm making money. What is your favorite story from working with a client? It is a pair of shoes for someone that is in college in Miami and I had a really fun time drawing on it. I really like drawing a gator. It was like their mascot. And I looked at a picture and then I did it and I thought it was going to look really bad in the beginning. And then when I kept on going, I found out that it looked good and it was my favorite pair of shoes that I've done. And they're literally being worn on a college campus in Miami as we speak. Well, you're clearly very entrepreneurial. You get it at a young age. And you started with shoes and you're evolving your product line, which is great. Do you think that shoes will be a long-term business for you? Or do you think that you are going to reposition your art in other ways and sell other things as you continue to grow? I think that I'm going to keep on pursuing my love of drawing on shoes through my middle school and high school years and maybe somewhat of college. But as I grow out of that stage, I want to maybe look into like being an architect or a graphic designer and I always want to stay in the art field. See, that's where I was going to go next with my next question. I was wondering, when you think about what you're going to study in school, is art going to transcend? And it sounds like it will. Yeah. How do you see yourself continuing to push to sell and to grow that business so that it's not just a hobby, right? Because when you said at the very beginning, it wasn't, oh, I like to paint and it's fun, right? You said, I like to paint and it's fun and I found a way that I can transition that to make money. And that's why we're here today, right?  So how do you think about the key ways that you'll go about making money in that side hustle that you're going to have? And right now the side hustle is this because you're in school, right? And eventually maybe you're an architect, right? So how do you think about really getting dollars to come in? I use my social media a lot because people see it and they want to buy something and then it just starts growing my business and I get clients and I make money from them. And also what about launching a website, right? Yeah. You can have a couple of different approaches to bringing those dollars in for sure. Yeah, because I'm not old, so I'm not making a website yet so social media is a good start. That's right. But you can see that there's a path, right? There's a path where you can kind of turn the dial and invite some other avenues in and have multiple streams going for you to bring this money in the door. And that's a good place to be without affecting the studies, right? Right? You're going to do both. So that's all exciting. I really appreciate your drive and your determination and that you have that entrepreneurial instinct. I think that's so fantastic. Thank you. It's really, really great. How does your mom and dad and grandmas and sisters and people feel about this? They're always looking to see what I can do next and they're always excited for all my new things to come, all my new designs, all the new skills that I can develop. Yeah. So it sounds like you have a lot of encouragement. Where do you think this entrepreneurial spirit came from? Most 12-year-olds don't look at a hobby or talent and say I can use this as a moneymaker, but you did. Where do you get this? Well, I get this from my art teacher. She shows me all of her students' work and I wanted to see if I could try something and make money out of it and her students are doing very well with all of their art based off of how they started and how they finished. At the end of the day, what is it that you love most about your business? I love the satisfaction of my clients and how they say how much they love what I made for them and how they wear them around and then people see them and they ask where you got them. It just makes me feel good.  I was shocked, but I shouldn't have been shocked that you made that as well. So I hope it also makes you feel good to hear from people like me who are seeing your product that it's beautiful. It's literally like, oh, sorry. No, it's literally like all the things that I love. Like, did you like go on my social and like find some things? I mean, you're clearly a fantastic sleuth to figure out how to tap. Like, somebody's like passion. I mean, we have School of Hustle. We have, tell me about this Bruce Springsteen.  We have Go Daddy, Sag Harbor, University of Washington, Love the Beach, New York City, and Gold, which you can tell I'm Gold is my jam and my name. Can I give you the biggest hug?  I love that hug. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. That means a lot to me. Oh my goodness. And that concludes the personal side of the interview before our next date. Best place you've traveled? Israel. Favorite movie? Big Daddy. First concert you ever saw? No, Jingle Ball. Which Hogwarts house would you be sorted into? Ravenclaw. Camping or glamping? Glamping. Blast person you texted? My mom. M&Ms or Skittles? Skittles. Would you rather visit Licorice Castle or Peppermint Forest? Licorice Castle.  Staying in bed all day. New York or London? London. Worst trend you've ever participated in? Socks and sandals. Favorite holiday? Um, Hanukkah. Instagram or Twitter? Instagram. Favorite part of a s'more? The marshmallow. One word you wish you could take away from the English language? Um, chocolate. Number one guilty pleasure? Um, I still want to know what it is. This is hard. Okay, we won't give you that one. That's okay. Let's see how we did. Let's see how we did. We got one, two, three, 13, 14, 15. Part of your day. Okay, um, going to bed. Best piece of advice you've ever gotten? Um, creative business. Worst piece of advice? You're too young, don't do it. How do you use your career to inspire others? I show people all my stuff and they want to try it out for themselves and it makes me happy to see that other people are doing the same thing I am doing and like doing it because I showed them what I did. Ever felt like walking away? No, because I know that things can get hard sometimes but I know that it will turn out great in the end. One thing you still need to learn? I still need to learn how to manage my school, work, art and business all at the same time. What do you want people to learn from you? I want people to learn that you're never too young to do what you want and you're always allowed to let your mind think. What's next for you? Um, I'd say that I want to keep on watching my business grow. Thank you too. Who inspires you? My art teacher. And who challenges you? I am my toughest critic. I challenge myself a lot. Well, we have one last piece of advice and this advice is for Noodle, our favorite pug. I'm going to stand right over here. You got him? You feel good? I think so. Alright, Noodle admires the way you've turned your talent into a business as a 12-year-old student. Noodle really enjoys mentoring today's youth and he would love to help young entrepreneurs like yourself. What advice would you have for an old soul who wants to help people like you in their business? Um, I would say to Noodle that just tell them to give it their all and no one's stopping you from doing whatever you desire. So Noodle, make time to give that advice and you don't want to scoff at young entrepreneurs. Yeah, they're allowed to succeed. They are allowed to succeed. Thank you for that. Thank you for that. I'm going to read three quotes and ask you to listen and tell me which one resonates with you the most and why. Okay, number one, no masterpiece was ever created by a lazy artist. Number two, I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams. Number three, you must expect great things of yourself before you can do them. Who's quote number one? Number one, no masterpiece was ever created by a lazy artist. What is it about that that you like? Well, it's a very true statement. If you don't give it your all, no one will see your full potential and you might not get to where you want to be in life if you don't give it your all. So you shouldn't be lazy. Yeah, right.
