This video is brought to you by Private Internet Access. Now I could be sitting here worried about somebody fighting out that I spent the last 15 hours of my life shopping for blenders on the internet, but I don't have to. Thanks to the secure no-log privacy I get from Private Internet Access's VPN service, nobody knows that I have an unsatiable urge to watch fruit spin until it is liquid. Private Internet Access is easy to use with over 20k servers in 70 plus countries and geo-locked content is available with a simple click. 30 million users can't be wrong, so try it today with a 30-day money-back guarantee.   I love you. Dang it, they've already taken the pharmacy. I thought you said these guys run ranks. They already swear. Maybe they're good at some other game. Pre-existing skill? That's basically cheating. Okay, forgot another hint. It's never too late to start building some, right? Okay, all right. I've got a plan and it's going to take some luck. How many flash banks? Hey, hey are you even listening? Yeah, I'm listening, but uh what's that? That's just the campaign mode. Ignore it and listen to my brilliant statutory, okay? Like I was saying just a moment ago. Well, we should play it right? Yeah, no. All that is is the boring version of the good stuff. This good stuff. Why would I pay $70 for that when they've been so kind as to leave this online multiplayer round for free? Right, right. Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you. All right, so you still have a few rocket stuff, right? I know you dropped the launcher, but that's okay. We won't need it. All I need you to do is take the leftovers. Maybe that's why we're bad. The campaign's what you play to like brush up on all your skills. Get the lay of the land. All that jazz. Oh my god, we do not have time for this. Do you see this? Do you see my virtual blood? Oh wow, this generation really has fluid mechanics down to a science. It's on your hands. My blood is on your hands. I need you here. Focused. Right now, okay? Okay, right. Sorry, I'm with you. Yeah, darn right you are. If we'd been able to take advantage of my frankly staggering tactical IQ, we'd been in better position, but I think we're still in this. Okay, so they have scattered probably to the hospital, into the whatever that building is in the east.  Look, I have a $200 a week streaming deal on my buddy's channel. If I can grind my way through petty aluminum major by the end of the month. But to do that, I need you to get the very least, be a warm body that fires bullets in the vague direction of the enemy. However, if you cannot do that, because you are so enchanted by the half-baked afterthought that is an FPS campaign, I swear to you, Bungie, I will exit the settings right now and turn on friendly fire. Got it? Fine, got it. All right, so for the last time, the plan, oh my god. You know, you should really listen to your friend there. The developers put a lot of effort into this. A lot of programmers, writers and artists lost sleep over this. So really, you should give them more credit. Daisy? Daisy? This is what I mean. I need help! Help! What do you even think you're gonna get out of this? I don't know. I like having motivation for doing stuff. I like stories.  But like, why?  Because they're bad. How do you not get that? But what kind of bad are they? Are they trying to conduct horrendous unethical scientific experiments?  Are we a part of a fractured whole sibling versus sibling that will end in only tragedy? I owe several thousand dollars worth of back taxes, but what's a little tax evasion these days? That's not evil. It's just unethical. They are bad because they are shooting at us. That should be enough. Yeah, we do do that, don't we? And stories? What stories?  You're in a war-torn, crumbling ruin of a city, and you gotta fight your way across it to get to an extraction point. What games campaign are you playing? Final Fighter Fighting 5, level 3, Siege of Borevia. Great stage, brah. It's not about the originality of it. It's still a frame to put the action in, and I like that. But you'd still be doing the same missions? Spoiler alert, all of these maps? They're from game stages. You'd be doing literally the same thing, just with stupider AI versions of us. That's part of it, okay? Like, you're good at all this online stuff, but I'm just not. I want to be able to play without real people looking at me and thinking I'm dumb. You know what, dude? I'm happy for you. I say follow your dreams. Go for it. Yeah, okay. Obviously, don't listen to him. He's got ulterior motives. Hey, thanks, guy. I think I will. Really?  Me? The very best partner that you've ever had? Yep, bye. Just awesome. Thanks, guys. No problem, buddy. Damn it, they're raging through the pharmacy! Perfect. We'd like to give the hugest shout out in the entire world to Team Combat here in San Antonio. They were a laser tag place that were outrageously accommodating to us. Super helpful. If you're ever in the area, if you've ever liked shooting anything, real guns, fake guns, video game guns, laser tag guns, airsoft guns, come check it out. They've got the coolest place in the entire world. Tell us about it. Hey, my name's Aaron. This is my wife Sarah. We're the owners here at Team Combat San Antonio. We provide tactical laser tag, so we are geared more towards the adult and team audiences. We have a 7,000 square foot battlefield built up like a small town, interactive sound and lights, and all our equipment is military grade. So the weapon itself looks like, looks, feels like a real weapon. We offer 10 different game modes, very similar to some of your FPS games like Call of Duty. So we see siege, search and destroy. We have B.I.P.S. for domination, a bunch of different games, team death match. So come on out, give us a try. We are great for team building and parties and walking play. Definitely check them out and thank you again so much.


I turn on the television, I scan social media, I read the newspapers and all I see are divided politicians. They are so partisan that they can't even handle the most basic necessities to get our country moving again after the pandemic. The problem is, Congress doesn't work for you or your family, but instead caters to lobbyists and party bosses. They'll do anything to seize more power. And these days they're even willing to sacrifice our own democracy, the Bedrock Foundation of America. That is why I need you to pay attention to the For the People Act, a bill full of common sense rules that force our government to represent us again. It ends the shell games that are used to hide secret billionaire donors and puts a stop to dark money, which both parties use whenever they get a chance. It mandates paper trails for all elections so we can stop arguing over vote tallies. And it requires all voting machines to be manufactured in the United States and the big one. It outlaws partisan gerrymandering by both parties so they can't rig voting districts to cut out anyone that would vote against them. It's the most powerful support of American democracy since the Voting Rights Act. And if the last few years have taught us anything, is that we need this now. That means you need to do something. We all do. Start by calling your senator and demanding they pass this. The House of Representatives already passed it and President Biden said he will sign it. But we need the Senate. Please share this video with everyone you know and go to represent.us right now to help restore American democracy to our government. Thank you.


Hey, I was doing a live cold calling session just recently. I believe it was a couple of nights ago and the biggest question was, hey, should I call my leads or should I doorknock my leads? We were actually doing cold calling, but the topic still came up. We had dozens of questions and that was the most common question we received. I think I received that question like three times through those 45 minutes of live feed that we were doing. The answer to the question is, should I call or should I doorknock? Should you send appointments or should you doorknock? This situation is different. Every batch of leads is different. Every area is different. Every agent is wired and built differently. There is no wrong answer. Both are fantastic. Some agents are great on the phone and they're going to send an appointment with almost everyone they talk to. Those agents should call first, set appointments, doorknock second. The agents that aren't comfortable on the phone, maybe you're not good on the phone. Maybe you don't set a lot of appointments when you phone call. Then doorknock first, call second. At the end of the day, you need to do both, you need to do a lot of both, and you need to do it often. If you're not sure what to do, which one are you more comfortable in doing? Which one are you more confident that you have success with? Because at the end of the day, when you're working leads, the goal is to what? The goal is to get in front of as many of those as you can. When you get in front of them, they result in sales. So at the end of the day, do both, but do the one that you're more confident in doing. We do a lot of videos like this, so make sure that you click subscribe. So every time we do something like this, you're in the loop.


What is up, everybody? Welcome on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. Let me know in the chat if you guys can hear me okay and see me okay. AndrewS, how's it going? Jim Nance, Andy Wright, how you doing? First time, be gentle. We definitely will. Let me just make sure I got cooking here. Hello from Germany. What's up, Germany? What's up, Darren? Robert, how you going? I got my LaCroix fancy sparkling water. I found it at Costco on sale, so I grabbed some. Welcome on this Sunday. I saw Chris Riley is also streaming right now, so our crowd might be a little low because he's doing a pretty awesome printer as well, a Delta, so that's pretty good. Audio and video is good, awesome. So I'm using some new lav mics I got, or a new lav mic, and it's the Rode Wireless Go 2, and one of the cool things about it is you can plug it in via USB to your computer, and it actually acts like a USB microphone, and it bypasses the quarter inch input, the audio input, all that crap. So yeah, the FL Sun, that's right. England, how you doing, Andy from England? So I love this because normally I rely on my other mic that I use for when I'm sitting down during hot makes and stuff, excuse me, and I thought, let's try this mic today. I can move around a little more. I don't have to worry about talking into it. Nice, Sean, that's awesome. Gary, how are you? I'm not gonna delay this too long. We're gonna jump into this pretty quick because why not, it should. They say they install it, or put it together in eight minutes. So we're gonna try that, Michael, Kacell, how are you, Nightcrawler? Jeff, how are you, Cindy, how are you? Let's see, make sure everything's good. Perfect. Everything's good, so Lindsey and the little man are on their way to a birthday party, his first birthday party that he got invited to, he's 14 months and the little guy is like a year old now, so they're going to a year old birthday party and perfect time for me to be with you guys. Stephen, what's up? Joe, how's it going? Zormer, how's it going? I was just talking about, I was just lurking in your discord, Zormer, playing with, look at that, the ships again. I think I'm finally in a position to print one that you gave me like a year ago. So there's that. Mingda D2 and I'm waiting to fix it. I have a Mingda D2 sitting in a box up here. I don't know how to fix it because I've never put it together.  Let it be known, I pick you over, Chris Riley. Thank you so, Stephen, I appreciate it. I was actually watching Chris in the background before the stream, so that's awesome. Like Chris is a great dude, man. He's a good guy and I love his stuff. He's super smart, way smarter than me. Let's let that be known, but I love the Delta he's putting together. I actually been, it's over there now. I had it behind me until recently. I've been printing on my CBCNC Rostock Max V4, which is also now known as the Boss Delta 300. A video will be coming, I believe tomorrow, I'm gonna resume my Murph videos. I stopped for the weekend, but I have like six more Murph videos or something like that to put out. And the one we're doing tomorrow is all about the CBCNC Boss Delta and when Jim Carter flipped it upside down to print upside down. You probably saw me have him do that on Joel's Murph coverage and that was a lot of fun. Did I get your email about the longer giveaway? I think so? Let me double check. I think if I remember right, you didn't hear from them yet, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they didn't ship to Canada. I did see one, I'm just trying to remember what it was. Our new project stuff just hit off. I know I saw, hang on real quick, we're shutting the air down so it doesn't get too loud with this lab on. Thank you so much, I appreciate that. Love the video looking forward to getting a 3D print in a new future. Recommendations are highly used. Thanks. My nickname is three of five, it looks like, in Roman numerals. Oh, got it, got it. Three of five, got it. Boss is more of a success for it, yeah. The boss is awesome. The boss is built, it's built awesome. He literally, that's good that you couldn't hear it, but he literally flipped it over. If you saw me running around on Joel telling the 3D printing nerd's video, I had him flip it over like in real time while it was printing, and it was pretty awesome. Blasto's here, how's it going? I believe it's Said, if I remember right, I saw your questions earlier in the chat and I just wasn't in the video to respond yet. So we can revisit that, but let's get this going. Let's get this thing printing fast today, because why not? So this is the new Creality flavor of the week. Also known as the CR-10 Smart. They finally got them shipping and all that now, and I have had mine since right before Murph, and I just haven't had a time to unbox it yet. Monica, how's it going? New 2, 3D printing, the tips helped me so much. Thank you, thank you. I'm glad they helped, that's what matters. Terry, been following your videos to overhaul, repair, and modify the Ender 3V2, great, great printer. Said, I'm not sure, oh, did you reply to the questions? Not yet, because I just went live, so there's that. But we can revisit your questions. I've just watched all the emo-cons or whatever Nightbot might take you out, I'm not sure. Speaking of Nightbot, I wonder if I have Nightbot on. If it is, I gotta tell it to not say there's a contest today, because there's not. Boom, been a minute since I did a stream on this channel. Usually we're on HotMakes, on the HotMakes channel now. I just wanna make sure. Senegal, been a long time, good to see ya. CR-10 Smart is what we got here. They claim it's eight minutes to set it up. Eight minutes. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Disabled, disabled, good, good, good. Enable, why not? Great, all right, just making sure we're straight on the Nightbot front. So let's get this bad boy set up, get it printing its first print, and then let's go into some of the specs and stuff of it. So, Steven had a fun drive in the Tesla. It was a long round trip, huh? A little water. Olaf, how's it going? Or, so right in the top of the box, we recommend the Creality Slicing software. Also, starting and ending G-code. I'm not sure if you can see this if it'll zoom, but they give you starting and ending G-code, which is pretty cool. I wish, I'm gonna check, but I wish they would do that on the SD card as well. You have questions you asked before the stream? Yes, I wasn't on to answer them, so I'll have to go back and check them out when I can. A user manual, as predicted. I think most of these companies are doing pretty good at packing now. There you go. So, I mean, everything's pretty well packed. A little roll of filament that's common now with the Creality machines. We have a little bag of parts, the classic Creality spatula, power cord, ooh, ooh, this is cool. This is the control panel. I'm pretty excited to play with this one.  A couple of uprights. So, we saw those on the CR-10V2 and the CR-10V3. That was a welcome addition to keep everything tight. Let's see. You gotta check everything. They pack stuff in here good. So, man, that's a pretty good beefy spool holder. Yeah, if you wanna answer your questions or ask your questions again while we're chatting, people in the chat can help as well. Interesting, so something I noticed, let's see if I can show you real quick here. This spool holder is what they gave us now, right? That's the new one. Let's see if I can get it to zoom in. There we go. It's actually on bearings or it floats. So, the whole thing can turn like that. That's cool. I haven't seen one like that yet from Creality. I like that design. It's a little more free flowing. So, there's that. Oh, let's see. Eight minutes really fast. Yeah, it won't take me because I talk too much for eight minutes. So, gantry. It's all together, it appears to be pretty nice. I'm gonna set it back here for a second. And I'm gonna take this. Hope you can see. There we go. Ender five plus and a Prusa. Ooh, ooh. Do you need volume or the Prusa? Because the Ender five plus is huge. I mean, compared to the Prusa's, a much larger printer as far as build volume goes.  They have the ecosystem around them with the slicer and the filament and everything kind of like Apple, right? Kind of like Apple has their phones and their iOS and their App Store and all that. There you go. Stephen would be a good person to respond to this. He has both. Now, I don't have a Prusa. I have a mini, but not the MK3S. And so, there's that. So, hey, we got the base. Oopsh, looks good. Looks good. So, this is gonna be the front. This is gonna be the rear. Yeah, I think he was saying Ender five plus, but yeah, it really depends on what you're gonna use it for. It really, yeah. All right, let's get this bad boy set up in like record, record time for our stream because usually I take like an hour or something. There you go. So, depending on where you're at in the world, I think you said you were in, oh, I can't scroll back up because I don't have my mouse, but I can't remember where you said you were in the world, but, you know, Prusas are not bad machines at all, especially if you want a kit to put one together, they'll learn to printer much, much better if it's your first one. Carl Fenton, I saw your comment on Facebook right before the stream here. That's awesome. I'm glad you think it's a really good printer. And I hope this one is as good as yours. I was told it's a production printer. So, when they asked me if I wanted it, it was like three months ago and it's been delayed ever since. And they finally said, hey, we're finally getting them the ship. We're gonna ship you on. And I believe this is a production printer. PayPal, Jonathan Barnes, thank you so much. $5 to PayPal, man, I really, really appreciate that. Thank you, thank you for the support. Anybody who wants to support, feel free to hit the PayPal that, you know, cost me the least amount of money. Otherwise, you can always join as a membership here. I think it's 199 or 399. I think that's right around there. I have to go back and look. Looks like Carl Fenton is a member. And you can tell some of the people that are members, they have little icons and stuff like that next to their names. I believe Steven is as well. You can see the icon there. But anyways, thank you so much, Jonathan. I really appreciate that. YouTube has been YouTube has been light lately. I think everybody's ready to get outside and stop being so contained. So views and stuff are a little low, but that's okay. We're gonna steep, keep putting videos out. Finland, how are ya? Kenneth, you're late. That's okay, we're just getting started. Rogue Research Lab, how are ya? So we got all the contents and stuff. Let's get this thing puttin' together. I wanna get this thing printin'. Twist the coupling to raise the x-axis to the position. That requires me to have the x-axis. So we're gonna put the x-gantry and assembly on first. Usually that's how these new machines are goin'. It's they're comin' pre-assembled, which is awesome in my view. As long as they're assembled straight and square, that's the big thing. And then really you're just like setting them on and screwing them in from the bottom in this case. You can see there's, it's kinda hard to see, but there's grooves here. And so you can't really miss that. If you do, woo! You know, there's grooves there. You shouldn't miss it. Carl says there's some issues that some users are reporting that he has not seen. Okay, we'll have to check that out. Which would be direct drive or Bowden? Wow, for the ender printers, any of the ender printers are gonna be Bowden drive or Bowden tube driven, however you wanna call them, Bowden machines. What I recommend, if you wanna see a little better breakdown on that, teaching tech, Michael over at teaching tech, just put out a video about exactly what you're talking about, is direct drive automatically better or not? And it's a really good video. If anyone in the chat has that link, feel free to post it and we'll approve it. But that's just, it's such a good video to check out because he makes a lot of really good points. Mainboard to the touchscreen on the Mingda. Yeah, like I said, I haven't even unboxed mine. They didn't, I didn't even know it was coming. They were supposed to send me a different printer and then that one showed up and I didn't know that one was coming. Specs for the CR-10. This one here or the real, I mean the other CR-10. So basically what I'm gonna do now just so you know is just screw these, put these bolts in from the bottom and get them tightening in so this gantry stays. And I try to hand tighten them as far as I can first just so you know you're not cross-threading anything. And there's two on each side that go in from the bottom. Usually this, I'm gonna check this one. I think it's the same as all of them. I believe these are 300 by 300 by 400. This one is the new CR-10 Smart. It is a Bowden driven, or Bowden fed I should say. It also has auto bed leveling as part of it just like the CR-6 line. Yeah, 300, 300 by 400, that's what I thought. I didn't think they would change their specs on the CR any, or I mean on the 10s here at least. So they do have some other CR-10s that are different sizes. I think the Mini is an older one that's a different size but if you look at a CR-10 in general it's probably gonna be 300 by 300 by 400. Has a built-in wifi box. So USB socket fit, oh cool. So you can put a webcam right into it. So I never had good luck with my Creality box. So hopefully this is better. A nice upgrade from your Ender 5. It could be, man I love my Ender 5s. I absolutely love my Ender 5s. They might be one of some of the best machines. Holy moly, Matt's here. How you doing, Matt? Long time no see, man. All right, let me grab something real quick. I'll be right back. I just gotta grab better Allen key. I like my T-handles and I forgot to grab them before the stream. Man, I haven't seen you, Matthew. It's been a long time. Been watching your stuff on Facebook with your Jeep trips and stuff. I'm definitely jealous of that. I need to go on a Jeep trip. So I have these T-handles that I really like. Built-in malware, yeah, I don't know. No comments. Specs are on the Creality website. Yeah, we're gonna pull those out. As soon as I get this built and printing we're gonna actually pop out Creality's website. We'll take a look at the specs, how much it is, all that stuff. Everybody's showing the love for Matthew over there. One of our favorite prop makers, one of our favorite makers in general. Where's the Ghostbusters car? Don't need to just install the app and follow the instructions. You can print stuff remotely. I don't know about the camera, nice. All right, so I have it attached. We're attached there. And next thing it wants us to do is the, what they're calling pull rods.  I lied to the back of the machine here. Let's see, yep. They're gonna go to the back of the machine. So I'll try to turn this so you can see a little better. Like that. So that's gonna be these bad boys. Mental break. Sorry, just don't, hey man, you're not stealing thunder. I love it. We love saying hi to everybody. I might have to go get my Star-Lord mask and put it on quick. Cause that thing's awesome. All right. So it looks like the bottom ones get the longer, yeah, the longer of the two screws and they get a washer on them. Any cubic manga or artillery Sidewander X1 or CR-10 V2. Oh man. I have a Sidewinder X1. If you get one, they print very well. I don't have a mega and I had a V2 and a V3. Both are decent. But for the money, you might wanna check out the Smart if you're looking at a CR-10. Because this has some built-in stuff that the others don't. So this is essentially gonna go here to here and that's gonna stop the gantry from going back and forth. And as long as you're square, you're good, right? More work and some filming just need to edit and get it wrapping up on the Ecto project. Nice. Nice. Stock, say printing with a webcam has to be H.264. Okay, good to know, good to know. So this is gonna go like this and like this. And as you see here, you might have to shorten up. You may have to shorten up the little rods so the ends have their screws. There you go, kinda. I'm doing this old school with one camera. I didn't even tell Caleb I was gonna be here. I don't know if he's in the chat or not. But he was out of town and had a trip and I was like, I'm not gonna bother him. He's busy. Now I'm throwing stuff. So anybody else out there enjoying the Murph videos? That's a question. Oh, geez. Better, Ender 5 Plus or CR10. Ender 5 Plus is much better than the original CR10. In my opinion, if you're looking at a newer CR10 that gets a little more tricky, but still Ender 5 Plus, I loved mine when I had it. Yes, that Jeep thing would be so much fun. Totally happy with the CR10 V2. Awesome. I did like mine too when I had it. It was a good printer. I gave it away, I think. Trying to remember what I did with that. I think actually I gave it away, I believe. Let me just see here. Yep, that goes in like this. Interesting. No way to adjust the bottom there once it's in. So many printers, can you give one to your subscriber? You guys, whoever, let's see. Whoever's moderating can show that, that's fine. I think Stephen's in here, if he still is. So yeah, I actually do, I give them to my subscribers. We do giveaways, we have fun with that. At Murph, if anybody was at Murph, I gave away five printers. I just brought five printers with me and gave them to people while we were down there because I needed the space for one and for two. I wanted to be nice. I wanted to do something unexpected a little bit and it was fun. I'll drag you out to the trail, I'm in. I am in and you're in warm weather out that way. You're close over to by Stephen, kind of. So I could come say hi to you and stop by, say hi to Stephen, everybody. Let's see, Carl, yeah. Bumped the next Murph, yeah, or bummed, yeah. I am too. I was looking forward to Murph, or I mean, yeah, Murph. No, Earth, sorry. I was looking forward to Earth and I am bummed that they got rid of Earth too, but I get it, I get it. The world is in an interesting spot right now, right? All right, so that's tight. Make sure we're tight. We broke 100 yesterday and today. Oh, man, we've been in the high, well, we were in the high 90s for a minute, then we got cold, and by cold I mean like low 70s and it was like, it felt so good. I have, you can see the air conditioners in this window now because all of my laser stuff is venting out the other side where I usually have the air conditioner over there and so I might have to change that up because I'd rather not have this in the back of my shot. Let's see, whoa. Oh, yeah, yeah. They're not even doing Murph, I didn't know that. They're not doing the virtual one either. I didn't know that. The problem I had with the Mingi D2 is a touchscreen after I installed the hot end because the wire is melted going to the hot end. Ooh, ouch. Best firmware for the Ender 5 Plus. Ooh, I would actually check out Chris Cursey's firmware for the Ender 5 Plus. If you look up Cursey fabrications with a K Cursey fabrications, he does, he's doing some firmware for the Ender 5 Plus doing some nice stuff over there and doing that for his, I don't know if it's just, I don't think you have to be a Patreon or Patreon to get it or anything like that. He's just doing it for the crowd, for the public community, however. They nixed it all, wow. Not good. Yes, air conditioning, Beats sweating on film, 100% agree. Hotter than 115. Let's see, Murph was fine, no one got sick. True story, at least I didn't. And I don't think I didn't hear of anyone getting the Murph. Well, it's con, what do they call it? Con flu or whatever. Convention cough, all that stuff because normally everybody's packed together, everybody's touching everything. And I'm not down with that. I didn't touch much stuff. So I'm just plugging wires in here. I probably should read the instructions on what's nice, what's next. Interesting that they went with the ribbon cable here. Let's see in, in there. Okay, great. The other interesting thing is mine came with a European plug. So I better check the power supply. But yeah, European plug on mine. Guess I'm not using that. So the next thing we're gonna do is drop the spool holder on.  It's very, very similar to the CR6SE. Hey, thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. Five dollars from stock 3D printing, five CA dollars. Thank you so much. Interesting how this thing, it goes on, it's kind of loose. Doesn't like lock in. Maybe I have a backwards. Nope. So the spool holder doesn't like lock in, but the interesting is the center spins. So we'll see how it goes. The other interesting thing about the spool holder is that it actually has, I'll show you. I'll come up closer here. So it actually has, instead of just clipping on, it has T nuts. So like the CR6SE clips on, this is metal, this piece here. You can see this is where it connects. Maybe, there we go. And it just spins in and it's kind of loose in here like that, it doesn't lock in. So that kind of concerns me a little bit, but we'll see how it goes. Murph was awesome. I gave, I guess they handed five people printers while we were there. It was a lot of fun. Conflu, yeah. That's awesome. Now, which printer under 500 pounds has the best quality? Ooh. Well, this one's under 500 pounds if you're talking about weight. No. So I'm gonna put this in and get this going. I'm not, you know, I kind of like the versatility of, hopefully you guys don't hear behind me in the park or across the street, actually.  It's a big music festival of like local-ish bands. And they do it all day today, which is really cool. But right now they're pumping. Someone over there's kicking over there. So I do, I set up my stuff and I do some of the festivals for them sound-wise and Lindsay always gives me a hard time because I'm loud, but these guys are being really loud. So just getting the spool holder on. There we go. All together. Now I kind of like the idea of the one that comes off because if I move this, I wanna be able to take this off easily, but in this case it won't, it'll have to be unscrewed. All right. How's it going?  In the chat because I feel like I've been talking to myself because there's no one else talking to me here live. Let me know what you're drinking. I've got LaCroix water. And I love water. I drink a lot of water. All right, what's next? Looks like the screen goes on next. But this thing is heavy. It's just a beast. Marcel, how's it going? Looks like Lindsay and the little man just arrived at the party. That's awesome. So Monster Mango Juice, awesome. Greetings from North Finland. Hey, so here you go. This is for you guys. I don't have Caleb's. Yeah, yeah. I don't have Caleb's sound effects, but you know what's interesting? I just want to point this out. I just took the, you saw me take the plastic off. Let's see if I can focus on this. You see all those fingerprints? Here, this thing is so dirty. Look at that.  Oh, there you go. That shows it. They could have been testing, but the plastic was loose and this was really dirty. So, that's interesting, right?  So I don't know if I'd say that, come on. So I'm guessing, I'm venturing to say you like the Ender Five Styles, right? Lindsay is a heavy metal singer and you're like, yeah, she's actually not loud when she sings. Not at all. And the band, it's funny because they get placed when they play, they play with other rock. Style bands and the people who run sound just don't know how to run sound for a freaking band anyway. But they turn everything up so loud and then you can't hear the singers. I really hate that. So I'm like the sound Nazi when we go live with her. So this actually just looks like it's just gonna clip in. This cable pushes into the back. What's really nice is there's an opening back here. So when you need to do firmware updates, you can actually get to the SD card slot, I think. That would be awesome because lately that's been not fun. So it looks like, maybe, let's see. There we go, oh, maybe not. Oh, it's like a keyhole thing, all right, I see, I see. So it pops on there and slides down and locks into place. There we go, just like that, just like that. Yellow warning, rain popped up for tomorrow. Someone must be listening. Oh no, you got the demo. I don't know, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Tell me what you mean by that. They gave me a test one, they might've.  Lovely Mella, I can't, melodic voice, yeah. If you guys haven't checked out Lindsay's band, look it up. It's in the description of most of my videos. It's called Wicked Realm. So this one was sent to me by Creality. So they did send it to me with the understanding, just like every printer I take, that my opinions are my own. They don't get to see this before I publish it because you guys are seeing it live for the first time anyway. And they don't get a say. Now if I find something deeply wrong or something like that, I will reach out and work with them to find a solution or hopefully come up with one. But opinions are my own.  Hopefully it doesn't, but nice clipper on the end of six. That's awesome. Trying to catch up. Maryland, how's it going? There's a firmware update for that now. Not sure what it is, no details, just a file. Okay, I'll have to check it out. Nice, we need the rain. Yeah, we were in a drought for a long time. Mostly like June, a lot of May and then into June we were really bad. The demo machine got it. Cool. This is actually kind of exciting. I haven't heard of this machine. Yes, gotta keep it real, otherwise you guys won't come back and watch. Now I do my best to be as positive as possible, okay? Even if I find something that's complete, not great. I will say it's not great and it won't print. You guys will see it won't print that kind of thing. But I also point out the good things of the machine because I believe that's an important thing. Like this has a touchscreen. It has, I like these side mounted spools and I really like the free spin of this one. This has a filament run out sensor. It has the same style extruder as the CR6SE. Different hot end though. That's interesting, I'll have to clip that zip tie off too in a second. Cable connections. So I'm just making sure I got it all connected. One, two and three. Yep, so there's only like three connections you need to do and I'll show you those real quick. There's one for the Z stepper over here. One for the Z stepper over here. There's one in the front on this side for your end stop. And then these come up underneath or around the back of the stabilization bar here because you don't want it wrapped around there. But they come up like this and then they just plug straight in. These are ribbon cables just like the Sidewinder X1 style you know with the different end on them which in my opinion a much better end. It's really solid. So it's just not ribbon cables going into it. But next, cable connection did that. All right, so now the fun stuff. I gotta find a power cord quick or grab a power cord quick.  And then we can sit here and talk for a bit. What are we, 40 minutes in and it's already built. It didn't take that long. If you were just pulling this out of a box and not doing this, 10 minutes or less. I mean, they say eight minutes but 10 minutes or less for sure. I'm definitely not plugging it into the ethernet yet. I probably will test that stuff but we'll be careful. The Wi-Fi on this unit. Yeah, so it sounds like this one we're gonna go into the specs in a minute but it sounds like this one has the, oh, I got one right here. This one has the Creality like the Wi-Fi box built in. And that can be really cool and it can be interesting at the same time. So there's been a lot of those lately. This machine back here, the Seed Maker has built in Wi-Fi. I'm testing a machine over here that the video will go out in I believe August is when they're finally saying I can release it. That has Wi-Fi which is really cool because I hook up Octoprints to a lot of my machines anyway but when they come with it, I don't have to touch it. I mean, I can send stuff from anywhere. Turn the machine on with a smart switch, watch it with a camera, send a print right from my computer remotely and there you go. Now there is all the security aspect of all of that and that's another discussion, right? I'm gonna have to turn this because I'm not gonna be able to see the screen. So it looks like right in the front, right next to the screen here is where we have the SD card slot. So let's take the plastic off of that. So that was on there really good. Actually I'm gonna have to get some of the sticky off because it didn't peel off great. So I'll work on that. Also, glass bed. So, here you go. It's not slow-mo but it'll work, right? Everybody loves that part. Let's see. Only cool if you wanna slice on your phone. I used Prusa Slicer so that wouldn't work. But we had awesome idea if I could. Now if I had models on here that I could start anywhere, that'd be cool. Let's see. He knows where Arkansas is. Don't forget to thumbs up, thank you so much. All right, here we go. So now it says we should go to bed leveling. I'm gonna turn this slightly so I can see the screen. We're gonna flip this bad boy on. Better check the power before we do that. It won't really matter, it just won't work. Now if you're in Europe or something, it definitely will matter. Let's just see if I can find a way. Nope, not there. So there's nothing underneath. There's nothing on top. Is there a way to swap the power without, I'll look in the manual just to make sure, but without opening the case. And I don't see it if there is. Carl, did you have to swap the power setting on your power supply? Because I don't see a way to access it. I'm looking. I'm looking. There's Wi-Fi printing, loading filament, install a Z-switch. No. I don't see anything about making sure that switch is set to 115. So we'll try it again. Worst case scenario is it doesn't come on, right? Oh, yours came with the UK plug, so you didn't need to. See mine came with the UK plug as well. But, but, let's see. I don't see a spot, let's keep looking. I guess you know what? I do need to do this too before we get too far. Power button on the side turns it on, hold it in for a couple of seconds. Okay, let's see if it works then. I just wanted to verify, but let's see. Power on. Check. Power button on. Nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Well, at least on the screen, nothing. Nice, Andy. Here, let's try something. Hey, hey, there we go. Flip the freaking switch, right? Oh, wrong way. Here I am moving my table. I didn't lock the wheels in today. Plugged the other end in. Now what happened was I flipped the power switch off. I forgot to turn the power switch back on when I unplugged it. So it came up. It's a pretty cool little UI there. And I think what I'm gonna do, let's see, difference between this and the Ender 3 Max. Actually, it looks like quite a bit, quite a big difference. Let's see what I can do here. Give me a second and I'll pull the camera off and show you more of this. But let's start the bed leveling. Select level to automatically level. So I'm gonna go here and type leveling. No, I must elucin that when I tipped it. There we go. So then start the leveling. Maybe. So it looks like it's got a heat up and it's doing that right now. So it's heating up. We're gonna do a leveling, which is the first thing. So watch Chip video of Murph, Sodner, DJ and the Ender 7 Angle Max, your man. Yes. Yeah, that was a lot of fun. So it turns on. That's a great start. Yeah, yeah. So the back, there's a power switch that has a light when you have it on, right? And then you hit the button on the side there to turn it on. Thank you for that tip, someone out there. I'm so used to like, hey, the power's on the back. It's just coming on now, right? So we're homing. So far, that's great. It's not loose in the head, which is awesome. I didn't check that eccentric nut, usually I do, but I need to go watch the Euro final. Hey, have a good one. See you later, Carl. Thank you so much for the info. Looks like Gerard saw the video.  He films everything on his iPad, so we were having fun with him that weekend. So CR10 Smart, it's gonna go through a, let's see if I can give you a better view. You can kind of see the screen a little bit now. I'll fix that in a minute. I'll give you some better views of the screen here in a second. So I only hooked up one camera today. Hey, Bill, how are you? Long time no talk. Max, okay, so while we're waiting for this, let me grab my mouse. So what I'll do while we're waiting is I'll pull up the Creality site, which is interesting. Hey, by the way, if you're gonna check this out, I put links in the description below. Yes, they are affiliate, they help the channel out, but it's super, it's much more cheap to get it from Creality right now than on Amazon. Now it's usually like that because it's Amazon, right? But it was definitely cheaper from Creality website here. So let me do this. Yeah, I hope it disassembles nicely. It looks like it's just maybe two bolts. There's one here or two screws, one there, one there. And it's probably just a plastic shroud that comes out. Currently it's gonna do its thing here. There's no screws underneath anymore. There's no knobs you have to turn, any of that. It's all solid, which is great. Why are you not reading my comments? I don't know, I didn't see them. Extreme prints coming from CR10. That's the only one I saw, man. So there's that. Let's see. Real quick, let's share this screen. Well, this is doing its thing here. So what it's doing now is it's gonna go through a leveling process.  It looks like 16 points. So four back and then it does that across all the way. So while that's doing that, let me share a tab here. Boom. So we should be able to see this. Just make it full screen. Hey, I said full screen. Interesting. That is a weird full screen, isn't it? Let me fix that. Boom. There we go. So if you see here, this is a Creality official 3D website or Creality 3D official website. This is a CR10 Smart. They say it's 300, 300 by 400. It has built-in Wi-Fi, a 32-bit board with muted fans. I can say that's probably not the case. I mean, they're quiet, but they're not that quiet. And the case fan is probably what the loudest part is here. It has auto-bet leveling, which it does. We installed the, they're calling them draw bars, they're stabilization bars. The hot end like Matthew was talking about, this is a new hummingbird design. So we will see, yeah, we will see how that goes. Interesting. Let's see what else they got. 32-bit self-developed board. You can kind of see the spool holder here and we'll go down and check out what else they got. So these, what does this say? 499, I believe, yeah, 499. Ships from US plug, ships from China. Let's see what else we got. Built-in Wi-Fi, which means you can remote print anywhere. We haven't played with that yet. A bit more intelligence, not a lot more, but just a bit more. Not, there's no camera built-in that I know. I believe you plugged that in. V2 auto-bet leveling, which is the same as a CR6SE, which I actually like. I haven't had any issues with that. Auto-protection, auto shutdown, and eight minutes. So I would definitely agree with 10 minutes or less if you're not on a live stream and doing this. So this screen looks like this. You can kind of see what the screen looks like there. It's really nice so far. I haven't touched it much, but so far so good. Wi-Fi, automatic sleep. Okay, that's interesting. With the automatic sleep to save power, I'll have to check that out. Auto-tune, dual-Z access draw bars. There is dual-Z and they're motor-controlled on the back of this as well. Four-part, three-inch screen. Let's see, it says it's silent. Again, I think the case fans are the loudest part. So you can do Wi-Fi or wired. Nice, I like that. So you can print from the cloud at any time. So we'll play with that a little bit maybe. Or maybe I'll do that in the follow-up, I'm not sure yet. That's what the screen looks like, pulled out a little bit. We already talked about the board being 32-bit. And silent, so yeah. I mean, this is how we installed the, basically they're saying it's six steps to install, put it together. No need to level again. I disagree on that probably. Because if you move it, you never know, right? So yeah, a lot of good stuff. Let's see what Chad's saying. I've been, my bed level went haywire after six months. I guess you have to, what? Oh, I see what's going on. So I guess you have to re-level sometimes. I mean, you gotta be careful there. Bye-bye, okay. Let's see, bed leveling work on this model. Just like the CR6SE. So it comes down and it touches the bed very lightly and it has a strain gauge up in here that does the leveling part. I believe that's what you call it, a strain gauge. All right, auto-off would be nice. Yeah, I'm with you. Prints get done and all of a sudden it just sits on forever. What's funny is I watch, I put all mine on smart switches and then I watch about when they're close to being done and I set them for like an hour on a timer so it can cool down when it's done for like a half hour and it shuts itself off.  Great, preheating method. So we're gonna preheat this bad boy now. We're gonna grab some co-ex filament. Let me see, prepare, set temp, preheat PLA. There we go. Let's do 200 and the nozzle and 60 on the bed. Let's see what happens. Make sure everything gets hot. Nice glass, we'll clean it before we print. So you can preheat it multiple ways it looks like. You can preheat it with the buttons like I just did or you can tell it what temps you want yourself. Nice. Loading filament, let me grab some. Do I have any? Not any of that. Oh, let's see, what do we got? What do we got? How about, man, I really like this red. There's a blue, we'll go with this red. We're going red today. I like talking way over here so you can't see me. So what I did is I grabbed a roll of co-ex 3D, bam. It's a mystery roll but it's mostly it's pretty deep red right now. It must be, it's a transition roll. That's what their mystery rolls are. So when they're going from one color to another, let's see if I can get this to show. Really nice color red. But you can see it's transitioned. The reason I know that is because it's kind of translucent. You see that? It's not solid red like their normal red. So I love, I really love their mystery rolls because you get them for super cheap and they're the same quality as you get with all of their stuff that's made here in the USA. It's actually extruded here north. I'm going to do a factory or a tour pretty soon and that'll be a video probably coming out in July or August. I'm not sure, it depends on when I can get up there. But I really love the co-ex filament and in this case, we're going to use this one here which is a mystery, but it's kind of a translucent red. So we'll use that in a minute. Thank you so much to co-ex, who is a channel sponsor and a part sponsor of this video. Something we didn't talk about yet as well. Let's see, let me open this. Oh yeah, there's a nice drawer down here. It's got foam packed in the top so it's not opening great right now. But this is pretty interesting. I'll bring a camera. I'll bring it over to the camera while everything's heating up here. Let's see, are we already at temp? We are almost at temp. The hot end is the bed we're waiting for. So I just pulled this out. Let's see. So you see the foam here? Pull that foam up and there's all your stuff. So it looks like we have a wrench, your SD card, a nipper, a tiny, a little nipper, which is cool. Nozzles, an Allen wrench set, the needle to clean out your nozzles and a nozzle wrench as well in there. So I like that they're doing this. I like that they're organizing it a little better. And I also like that this particular one has like that foam packed in there.  I agree, I'm gonna pull the SD card out because we'll need that. But I agree, I really like the drawers. They need to do that. This one's actually magnetic too. I didn't see this before, but right here, there's a magnet. So when this goes back in, this is a nice deep long drawer too. It actually magnets in. That's why it was a little harder to pull out. That's cool, I like that a lot. Not on my radar, I'll have to check it out. I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I'll look in a minute. Let's see, which way are you going in? So heads up, the SD card goes upside down, which is okay, it doesn't matter to me which way it goes as long as we know. Upside down, they make ABS, yes they do. They make ABS, PETG, they're working on, they have some TPU, PLA, yeah. More cooling than a drawer, true. But I'm pretty sure there's some, I should pull this open. Maybe I'll take some pictures or something later or whatever. I mean, the fans on this thing, they're pretty loud underneath. So I imagine it's gotta be a good size fan, yeah. I see grills under there, at least one or two grills under there, but it's definitely loud. Now that I just tipped it and probably ruined the leveling, but I would like to see the in-yards, oh boy. So we're gonna load some filament now because I promised we're gonna print something. So we're gonna see what's on the card, but I'm not sure if it's what it is yet. So hopefully there's something quick. Let's see, so we did the leveling, we preheated, now it's time to load some filament. Basically it says cut it at a 45 degree angle. Thank you for putting that in the instructions. Right here, cut it at a 45 degree angle because that is a huge help to a lot of people. Push it in all the way till it gets to the hot end and then complete loading. So it's pretty much standard. We're gonna put it in here. I probably should push this a little bit forward. Woo. Should probably lock the wheels on my table here too, huh? So I'm gonna push it through the filament run-out sensor through the enclosed gear drive extruder watch. Definitely we're testing this with a gray or a white, I can see it. And then I'm gonna lock that so we know it's in. Great. Install a limit switch for the X, for the Z-axis. Rotate the glass, huh? Rotate the glass from the platform, then manually turn the knob to the tightness to avoid that doesn't have anything to do with that. They're talking about the belts here and they seem to be fine. Just there actually is tensioner here. On both sides there's actual tensioners built in which is nice. That's what they were talking about doing. So let me see if I can move this bad boy. Prepare, let's see, where are we at here? Let's go forward. I'm gonna bring this up a little bit. Oh, look at this. If you hold your button on it, or hold your button on it, if you hold your finger on the touch screen it raises without having to touch it 700 times. I like that. I like that a lot.  I'm gonna grab my IPA. England scored already. I'm not sure in the world you are so I don't know if that's good or bad but congrats on England. I'm just gonna give this a good wipe. Now usually I do this with paper towel. I just happen to have my cloth here and it's always good to clean the glass when you first get it, especially. You'll notice that like a yellow substance gets cleaned off of these. Interesting. Just want this to be centered. Oh, there we go. Good. Check. So we have our filament loaded. Bam! Everything's heated up. Wi-Fi printing. We're not gonna start that right now. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go starting. Let me go down here. I'm printing a strat on my Ender 3 Max nice. If I remember, the CR-10 Smart has the same hot end. Well, they're saying it's a new design and now how much they used, I'm not sure, but oh, there's a lighting control. Look at this. There's LED lights over here. Let's see if I can get my hand out of the way right there. So you can turn those off and on to watch your print, which is awesome. You can do network stuff. One touch shut down, which is cool. Let's go home. File selection. You can do a couple of things. There's Eevee Dengzee or a cat. I have no idea. So let's see if I do this. Does it give me a picture? It doesn't. So we'll see what happens. I think I started a print. I did. It's called EEVEE and I'm hoping it doesn't take like seven hours or something. We're gonna find out in a minute. All right. Waiting for mine to be delivered. Awesome, Astro. I wish I could get fiber. All right. Back in the frame. So it appears that we can set this thing up on our network like we talked about. And, come on. There we go. Well, that's interesting. It was not printing. Can I tune Z? Well, now it's printing. That was weird. I didn't touch the Z yet, but it did not print for a second there. It must have been interesting. It must have just not had filament all the way down to the nozzle, even though I pushed it out. Not sure. It's printing now. We're good. So let's see. Dual Z, limit switches, no. There's only one Z limit switch. Happy, hey, Scott Latine's with us. How you doing, Scott? Let's see. Are the dual Zs connected via a belt? Yes, they are. So there is the dual Z driven with motors. And then there's also a belt at the top back here that goes across to two gears. So that's cool. Let's see. Who's is real? Yes. Got to turn the front and front back on. Yes, yes, yes.  Great idea. I think, now the lead screw wouldn't be long enough. T2D has one, and I use it on my Ender 3 over here. I like that one a lot, but I do know, you could probably do the same thing, just use a longer lead screw. Let's see. Big difference between a CR-10 Smart and the Ender 3 Max. I have a Max myself. It's basically an Ender 3, but bigger. Runout sensor and silent drivers on the X of my own. Yes. I have two Ender 3 Maxes. Actually one, I just gave one away. So I have one left. I really like it. It's sitting right over here. The biggest difference that I noticed right away would be, this one has the bracing right here to keep your gantry straight and not rocking. It has dual Zs with the belt, obviously. That's different. Let's see, a different touch screen. I'm assuming obviously a different board. In this one, this one has the auto bed leveling built in, just like the CR-6 SE. So it's kind of like a CR-6 Max, CR-6 SE Max, or whatever that one had for a minute was. Let's see. Yeah, let's see. Marlin has built an ex-gantry tramming. Ooh, I can level out two motors. Scott's with us. He could probably tell us all about that. I should try to figure out if I can use that. I used to be two kit. Yeah, it's a good way to do it. Yeah, ABL on the Max. So the Ender 3 Max doesn't have the ABL on it. Although the one I have does because I installed the TH3D easy ABL on it. Recently I did the video on the firmware, and that's the next thing I did was install that ABL on it. It would probably be good with the Ender 3 Max to have maybe some stabilization like this does, even though it prints very well, even pretty tall. Also, the ABL like we talked about, it's actually, I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure it's about the same as far as the extruder setup goes. So there's that, but not the hot end. I think the hot end's different. If they're belted, they'll stay in seek, even if they fall at a level, yes. What's my favorite 3D printer? That is a trick question. My favorite 3D printer, wow, wow, wow. Man, I love, it depends if we're talking new or old. I have a piece I haven't used yet. I should find out what this is. New or old. I absolutely loved, gotta fix that, it's not wobbly. It's rolling, it's on wheels. So this is the new table I built and I didn't lock the wheels in. So every time I touch it, I can move it. Let's see, this is actually, in case you're wondering, this is a sit stand desk essentially that can hold quite a bit.  And then I used the flooring, right? And I put that on top so it gives us this nice surface in the top so I can hit a button here and it'll go down to whatever level because I pre-programmed a couple different heights. So there's that. If I hit this one, it'll come back up to my filming height. Let's see. Yeah, that's really bad. If you belt the dual Z, you can't level the motors via firmware. Oh. Well, I think the idea would be to get the level, get the motors level first, right? So in an ideal setup, and what I'll do when I'm done with this probably, is I'll go through and make sure the gantry's straight. We wanna measure it on both sides to make sure it's straight. I'm gonna come up a little further here. Ooh. There we go. Too far, too far. Anyways, so I'll make sure that both of them are straight and then once I do that, we should be solid. Let's see. Wood price are lowering, nice. I hope so. I hope they do soon, right? GPU, yeah, GPU prices finally, yes. I heard China, I think it's China, has a huge stockpile right now in the after, like in the used market of like 30, 60s and 3080s. Yeah, it's a strain gauge. Is a strain gauge more accurate than the BL Touch? Oh, that's a good question. They're similar, right? Because they're both touching the bed. They're both probing something. In this case, it uses the hot end on that strange gauge and it has to come down and just lightly touch and it uses marlin firmware to figure that out, right? The BL Touch is, so it's very, very tricky because in my opinion, the BL Touch fails, you can pull it off and replace the BL Touch without any, you can still keep printing, right? I mean, it's not the end of the world. In this case, you'd have to replace the hot end or at least that strain gauge part of the hot end as well. So it's built in, it's nice that it's built in. The BL Touch can break, they're plastic. I've seen them catch on prints and stuff like that. So it's kind of nice not to have that. I don't know, I guess I don't really have an opinion which one's better. I don't know the facts. I don't know, I never tested them, right? Let's see. England one, Italy zero, nice, nice. What's my favorite new 3D printer? Whew, I really like my Ender 3 Max. If you're looking for a belt printer, the CR-30s are awesome. If you're sticking with Creauty still, the 200B, the CR-200B enclosed printer has been really awesome for me. Super good and they fixed the issue with the extruder heating up. They fixed that on the new models, which is awesome. I have another printer over here that I can't talk about yet officially. I could tell you it's from Flash Forge and it's been very, very good printing as well. I love my Ender 5s. I have two CR-6 SEs down here. It really depends what you like and what your budget is. So when you're looking at a 3D printer, in my opinion, a couple of things need to happen. First, your budget, like how much do you wanna spend or how much do you not wanna spend, I always say. And then what size build area you need. So if you don't really need big parts, man, something like a Prusa Mini, an Ender 3v2, any of those are gonna be great all day. And then if you need something very large, like there's this is 300 by 300 by 400, which is pretty dang good size. There's something like a Solval SBO3, which is huge. But yeah, it's really depending on what your needs are. If you're printing miniatures and small stuff, you don't need something this big, in my opinion. My opinion, though. A lot of people chiming in. Scott Latine says strain gauges are pretty consistent. Let's see, I can pop that up, I think. Boom. So strain gauges are pretty consistent. Should be as reproductable. Or better than the BL Touch. Also, there are some advantages to using the nozzle as a probe. Ooh, tell us more. What advantage is that, Scott? Because I'm very curious on that. Let's see. Yeah, Matthew likes the i3 Mega. A lot of people love that printer. Why you like the Ender 5? Man, because they're so, they print great. They're solid, they're sturdy. It's not a bed slinger, as we talked about earlier. The bed doesn't move back and forth. It just goes down or up. And so it's very clean. When you get them dialed in, the Ender 5 really prints really nice. Backorder is real with them, four to six weeks. Ooh, yes, the Prusa Mini. A lot of people love them. I found out at Murph that a lot of people have issues with their Prusa Minis, which is weird to me. CR-10 Max, that's a big printer. How many printers do I own? Man, I don't know. Too many, I keep giving them away. Ender 5 Plus is a workhorse from Astro Printer. He also has a Seed Maker, wherever that thing is hiding right here. I got a print on the bed, I need to take off. I don't know if Trent is watching, but a friend of mine named Trent, I got one of his prints on there right now. FL Sun Pro, let's see. I have too many printers, though. That was the answer to that question. Yeah, I have too many. The problem with this is, it's actually not a problem. The challenge of doing a YouTube channel like this is if people send you the printers, which is amazing, because I get to go on live and show you the printers. The challenge is, where do you put them all? And that's pretty much for everybody. I give them away to people that want to get into 3D printing. I give a couple of away to schools now, so they could get into it. I just found out about libraries. I might reach out to my local library and see if they need some. When we were at Murph, I brought five with me and I handed them to people just because. So yeah, I think that's the big challenge now, is just what do you do with them? Because I could, if I set up a huge print farm, I could use them all, but I just don't. So I feel like they need to go be used, right? At least the good ones. Scott says, using the nozzle as a probe guarantees no anomalies caused by the probe being off angle and will produce usable results even with a twisted gantry. Good point, Scott. Very, very good point. I never thought of that. A lot of times with the BL touches, if you have it at any angle, just like I guess easy ABL could do the same thing, right? Any sensory at an angle could give you false results. Never thought of that. That was a really good point. Also, the only thing I do question, Scott, is you just gotta make sure there's nothing, like my CR6, is I make sure there's nothing oozing. There's no filament coming out. I know the G-code I use doesn't allow it to be that hot, so it won't ooze, but I always keep that clean before it probes because that could mess up your probe a little bit, I'm assuming. Who's your favorite maker? Woo, Marcel, you're killing me here. My favorite maker. Man, there's some good ones. I watch a lot of Hacksmith. I watch a lot of Evan and Caitlyn. Tripod's Garage, thank you so much, Afrosti Bedridge. Hey, thank you, I'll drink some water to that. Nice to meet you, I hope you liked the video that came out a couple days ago. Great interview with John over at Tripod's Garage, and he's trying to remember, I think I gave him, I think I brought one of my, I did, I brought the artillery genius, and he got that working pretty quick. Definitely warm up the nozzle, clean off the block before probing, nice, or blobs. Makers, though.  Matthew, if you haven't checked out Matthew's channel, he just chatted very cool, but if you haven't checked out Matthew's channel, or what he does, go back, look for Hot Makes, I believe it was Hot Makes episode, where we brought Matthew on, and we did a shop tour with him. He is phenomenal, I have, what the heck, I just cleaned my stuff up, well, it's right there. I have a star, full Star Lord cosplay outfit that he sent to me, and I love it. Hacksmith, nice, your old stomping grounds, I love Hacksmith stuff, it's awesome, they're like way off, I love the over the top stuff. Thank you, I appreciate that, I wanna do a lot more though, I wanna do more, so I have some fun videos coming with lasers, if you're a laser person watching this right now, I promise I have content for you coming, I have my CR30s that I'm working on some stuff for, if you're around next year at Murph, I probably will have a spool racer made from, printed spool racer made from the CR30s we're gonna bring down there, the community is awesome, lots of talent, yes. So let us know in the chat, everyone out there, who are your favorite makers? Who do you guys like to watch on the YouTubes, or anywhere, right? Scott is the curator of Marlin, he's with us right now, I mean, I consider that like a maker of amazing firmware, and he keeps up, it's a long hard process to keep up with everything and implement new stuff, and he does just a phenomenal job, if you have a chance, go visit Marlin and donate if you can, I think Scott still has merch out there, I know, I believe he was setting up a Teespring store, I'm gonna find that, if you're watching, and you can find me the link for the Teespring store, or Scott's merch, let me know, we're gonna drop it in the chat. Have I ever used a laser attachment on the Ender 3v2? No, I didn't for a couple reasons, number one, I don't wanna open the case and change it to a laser every time I wanna use it, number two, I don't think it's safe enough, and people argue that's a huge community thing right now, but I really think that you gotta be really careful with lasers, very careful, because you only have two eyes and it only takes a minute to lose one with a laser, especially the diode lasers, any reflection, it's not good, that blue light isn't good, and just gotta be super careful, all my stuff, what I test, majority of it goes in an enclosure I built over here, it's fully enclosed, I have a camera, and a ventilation system hooked up because that's another thing with lasers, you gotta keep them ventilated, I'm gonna rip that song off, keep them ventilated, anyways, because anytime you're burning something, it doesn't matter what it is, it's gonna off gas something, if it's wood, paint anything, and you don't want that in your house as much as you don't have to have it in your house, and there's so much debate out there, it's such a challenging response, but that's okay. Let's see, a lot of people love it, yeah, Chep is awesome, obviously Joel is awesome, teaching tech, amazing, Brian Vines, great, Honey Badger 3D, yes, let's see, I don't know what was just held, oh, he retracted anyway, let's see, Makers Muse, awesome Makers Muse, so stay tuned tomorrow, we have some huge news on HotMakes tomorrow at 6 p.m., and if you haven't watched our HotMakes show, it's live Monday night, 6 p.m. central, and we have some really big news, and we'll be announcing some big stuff coming up, including Angus who's gonna be joining us for Makers Muse coming up, but before that next week, we have Emily the engineer, and I haven't seen her name or listed on here yet, but Emily the engineer, she did a couple of Ironman suits, she's huge in like TikTok right now and stuff like that, she does some really cool videos, and she's gonna be coming on Monday, so there's that, Angus will be on HotMakes, yes, starting, let's see, he'll be on HotMakes in the beginning of August, and all of this will be announced tomorrow night on HotMakes. If you haven't been to the new HotMakes channel, you wanna do that, because we did move it to its own channel now, let me get you the link for that, and let's see, Dr. Vax is good, yeah, there's a lot of cool stuff, a lot of great channels out there, and it's not only like 3D printing, right? In August, we're also gonna have, let's see, Mixed Media Girl, and she is just, she's awesome with all the acrylic and the paint pouring stuff, and here is the HotMakes channel, I just dropped it in the chat here, make sure you go to the new HotMakes channel, hit that subscribe button, hit that thumbs up so you can get notified when we go live, but let's see, but Mixed Media Girl, she does like a lot of the painting, if you haven't had a chance to check her stuff out, check her stuff out, it is phenomenal on YouTube, Facebook, all the things, but she does some awesome like acrylic and different paint pouring, and it just makes some beautiful stuff, and then she auctions off her art a lot of it, which is really cool, yeah, Angus is great, he loves, it's funny with Angus in the show, he loves coming on HotMakes, and so we've been talking back and forth for a bit, and it's fun for him because he doesn't get to do it very often, and he's a great guest, I love it, and the timing is perfect, it's like 9 a.m. his time right now with Daylight Savings, it's 9 a.m. his time when we go live, so it's perfect for him, let's see, is this a new printer already out or coming soon, it is already out, this is a CR-10 Smart, 300 and 300 by 400, it's the next generation of CR-10 printers, it's got filament run out, enclosed extruder, it does auto bed leveling via strain gauge in the hot end, just like the CR-6 SE and the SE Max, a really nice touch screen, so far I'm loving the interface by the way, it's very responsive so far. Dual Z with a belt, it's got obviously the braces on the back, it's got a really nice deep drawer here with all the tools that get stored in there, and I got a UK plug and I didn't have to change anything, it might be a, I'm gonna have to check it, it's either set in there or it's an auto switching power supply, I'm not sure. Done and subbed, awesome, yeah, I would check out, if you guys love crazy, I mean like, I absolutely love watching Mixmedia Girl because of all the cool colors and designs she gets and she used crazy stuff, Matt you have a great one, it was great to chat, text me man sometime, we're gonna have to get down there and go on this Jeep tour, I'm in. But yeah, I just love watching like all the crazy mixes she comes up with, it's so cool. So I'm actually, what's really cool about that show in August, it's gonna be I believe on the 16th, and it's gonna be a lot of fun because I'm gonna have another guest with us too, but anyways, I'm actually gonna get some of her stuff and then I'm gonna do my own pour live on the show and I've never done one before, so I'm so pumped to do it, it's gonna be a lot of fun, we'll be talking about that coming up, but if you can be there tomorrow night for HotMakes, it's gonna be, there's gonna be some big announcements, some stuff coming up, all that stuff. Whew, I'm talking a lot, I love it. Water number two, all right, so we're printing, it looks like it's gonna be a while, this is like a frog or, let's see, I don't know what it is to be honest, I'll have to look it up, but looks like it's gonna be a minute, it's definitely printing, it's printing good, layers look good, no stringing between the parts so far, which is great, I'm gonna have to look up what this is gonna be, I'll give me a second, we'll look. Tech with Hudson, how you doing Hudson? Hudson has a channel out there on the YouTubes, let me see, we got, let's see, we're 24 minutes into the print and we're like not far at all, so it's gonna be quite a long print I think. I'm gonna let it go at the temp and everything that it's set at, but if you ever try, once you dive into the coax realm, if you get the coax filament, again, this is coax, if you get the coax filament here, I'm gonna have to, I think I'm gonna slide this extra, or this arm over in a minute, but if you get the coax, make sure you print it hot, so I usually print my coax PLA around 220 degrees, which sounds really hot for PLA, but it prints like butter, it's so nice.  Max hot and temp, I'm not sure, I wonder if they tell us, let's go look. Yeah, yeah, it's called, give me a second, I'll look it up. Is it a Pokemon? Oh, it's a Pokemon? That's cool, but it's probably gonna take forever, right? Let me look, yeah, E-E-V-E-E, it must be a Pokemon. So, while we're talking, like I said, coax is a sponsor of the stream. Thank you so much, coax3D for that. There is a link in the description, I believe, to check them out, it is not an affiliate link or anything like that. Currently, they don't have affiliates yet, but it's just an awesome company, and they sponsor my channel, and they're local, so I love working with them. I'm actually gonna go talk to them, we're gonna do a tour, and I'm gonna talk to them about maybe getting a color. I'm really pumped about that part. Let me just log in to Thangs. So the another channel sponsor is Thangs. If you haven't checked out Thangs, they are very quickly becoming the fastest 3D print community, I mean, model-wise that it's out there. I think there's almost three million models currently on Thangs, and we had an awesome conversation with John from Thangs at Murph, with me and Chep, and Joel, and some other makers in the community, and a really great conversation. Let's see, EEVEE, right? I think that's what it was. EEVEE, no, all right. Let me just pop this over here, and I'm gonna jump out of chat for just a second, and let me show you what should be printing. We hope. So I went to Thangs. Again, Thangs is another great sponsor of the show. If you haven't checked out Thangs, you definitely should. And, oh, hang on, there we go. Boom, that's what I believe is printing currently. So it's a Pokemon from what they're telling me in the chat. Let's see, yeah. So it looks like this. That does look like what's actually printing. As far as what's down right now. So that's cool. So one cool thing about Thangs, if you haven't had time to play with Thangs yet, if you go on with your phone, it could be Android or Apple, it doesn't matter. You can actually do an AR, an augmented reality with this model or any model they have. And you basically can put this and make it giant on your bench, see how big it would be, and different sizes. You can put it next to somebody. It's really cool that they have the augmented reality thing. And they're doing some really cool stuff with all this information that they're collecting. They're actually building a really cool process that eventually is, or soon, is gonna be able to do live version control. So imagine PCB boards coming through and all of a sudden it sees one that's different. That'll be a different version. It'll be able to identify that, which is awesome. Let's see, just got a roll of longer gold PLA, one from you. What should I print? Something from HotMakes or similar? Thanks again, Jim, for the role. Hey, I'm glad you got it. You should print something awesome. Maybe a giant mini-Jim. I'm just joking. Anything you want. Baby Yoda, yeah, yeah. They're taking Groot Baby Yoda boat. Hey, you know what? You wanna try something crazy. The Pixel Jim, that's funny. That's weird. That can be. So yeah, you could make a giant mini. They did an augmented mini-Jim, which is life-size, it was funny. Let's see. There is something new. I believe it's on Prusa Slicer. And my friend Trent put it out there. Is there a Jim STL? Yes, if you go to Things. Actually, don't go to that one. Let me grab the official link for you because we track who uses it, right? I wanna make sure that we're sending things the traffic. So let me do this. Here you go. That is a, I accidentally copied the whole giant link. So I apologize for that. That didn't work out very well. Give me one second here. That was not awesome. That didn't, that didn't taste great. Oops. Try this. This work. Otherwise I go grab the short link because I did not work again. If you copy and paste that, that should work. Otherwise I'll find a better link. Otherwise just go to things.com. Or you know what? In the description of this video, as you're watching right now in the description, it says things and then the link. Use that. Because I apparently copy and pasting, it finds me and tags me and stuff like that, it's crazy. But yeah, mini gyms are great. They look like, they look like this. Thanks to Wexter. Wexter is a master of the minis. And let's see, here's a mini gym. There we go. Got the hair, the glasses. Even got some stubble on the face. Nice mini gym crotch. Everyone always checks out the mini Joel crotch, you know? So we gotta have that. But that's a mini gym, yeah. Oh geez. This is a giant mini gym. So here's a question for you. Have you guys submitted a vase to the vase contest that's going on right now? There's 95 of you watching still. Thanks for staying around. I know the big part is kind of over with the build and everything. But there is a vase contest that ends tomorrow from Fulamint and all you have to do is enter, print a vase, find a vase you have, whatever, go to the socials, tag us and you can win prizes. $500 in awesome prizes from Fulamint and it's just a vase. All you have to do is print a vase or take a picture and enter your vase. Now this one was done in Greengate 3D Purple Rain color which is a phenomenal color by the way. Here we go. I love the idea of the Russian nesting gyms. Oh no. So I'm just knocking a bunch of vases over now, putting this one back. But if you have not entered, sorry, if you have not, Jimception, if you have not entered the vase contest, do it. It's free. It's free to enter and you could win prizes. Let me just grab that link for you real quick here too. And we need some more submissions. I mean, why not? The more the merrier, we need them all. But we need you to enter them. It's super simple. You just take a picture and wow, if I could, here we go. All you gotta do is take a picture and enter it in and you tag us on the socials. I'm grabbing the link right now. By the way, congrats Chuck Hellabuck. Hellabuck for hitting their 200,000 subscribers which is phenomenal. Let's see, here we go. Copy link address. Maybe this one will paste better. It does, yay. So the link that I just dropped in the chat right now, all you have to do is click that. It'll tell you how to enter. It's super simple. You just need a picture of a vase, tag us, throw it out there. I know Steven Liceby was here. He threw some out there. Andrew Sink did. Brian Vines did. Chris Curse did.  Shane did, right? Yes, make many Jimdolls and hide them around. I like it. That's a great idea. Let's see. Yeah. But we got this thing rolling. It's printing Pokemon, I guess. I've never seen Pokemon. So to be honest with you, I've never watched it or played it but I've seen the characters and stuff on things so that's awesome. I may too but I'm not on social. David Johnson, not on social. On any social? If you're not on any social, I think it's Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. How can I get that out there for you? David Johnson, send me an email, jim at theedgetech.com and we'll see if we can figure out a way to get your submissions or ask one of our fellow community members. They might help you out too if you're not on the socials. Digimon for life, I love it. Now I'm looking for this little, there's just plastic piece here. It's kind of hard to see because it's clear and I don't know what it is. Maybe I missed it in the install. So I'm looking, nope, nope, nope. But I definitely need to move my, I'm gonna move this spool holder, sorry. I'm gonna move it forward this way because it's not liking being so far back. So I'm gonna do that in a minute. Looking for this little plastic clip. If I can find it, so far I haven't. No parts showing this plastic clip and it doesn't show in the parts list at all. So there's that. So I have no idea. Let me show you what it is. Oh, let's see. 20 years for the Pokemon. Have a friend upload and tag it. Yes, do it. So this, oh, let's see if I can drop it. Maybe, come on, focus on my hand. It likes to focus on everything but my hand. There we go. Yeah, that, not sure what this is. It doesn't show in the parts list and I have no idea. It could be a diffuser for the LEDs. No, I don't think it would fit there though. The way it's shaped, like this. See that? That's the way it's shaped. It looks like it should like, maybe like clip on to something. I'll keep digging, we'll find it. I like the idea for the LEDs. Let's see if I can turn them on while it's printing. Settings, no settings. Prepare, home. Watch, I'm gonna break it because I'm pressing buttons now. Well, maybe I'm not doing anything because it's not doing anything. I'm gonna let it print and not break it. But there is LEDs, that's a pretty cool feature, right? On this side and they shine down. I imagine if you're gonna have a camera or something that would be very useful. I have a friend uploading, yes, CR6SE filament guide. It's a CR6SE filament guide. I don't know what you mean by filament guide. Oh, it looks like it attaches to the frame. It could be a spacer from the school holder or something. So I don't remember seeing one of these in the CR6SE. I have two CR6SEs, but you could be right. Let me see, how would I, how would this attach so the filament would go through there? Let's see, oh, I figured it out. I figured it out. Let's see if I can, I have an idea. I'll see if I can use my phone quick as another camera here, or I could bring the camera over here. How about that? We're going for a ride, everybody. Hold on to your horses. We're going for a ride, we're going for a ride. So if it is what someone said it was, right? You see, let's see, I see right there, between the, right here, between the extruder and the filament run out sensor, right? There you go, someone just called it. So I could see that. This would actually slide on over the extrusion here, go in here, and it would sit like that where your filament would run through it. That's actually pretty awesome. I do think I have those on my under six SEs. I'm like 100% sure I don't have those on the under six SEs. So there's that, but here's the print so far. Let's see if I can get a good shot of this. Turn up some ISO, there we go. So far, so good, no string in, looks good. Of course, usually they do, usually they do when they come on these cards because they want you to see the best, right? Sorry for all the crazy camera antics here. I only plugged in one camera today. So there's that, but it's not stock on the SE. Okay, I was gonna say, I had two of them and I've never seen that, but that's awesome. I'm gonna use it. As soon as this is done printing, I'm gonna pull the filament, put this in and thank you so much. Is it curl brand, curl brand? Sorry if I said that wrong, thank you so much. Yeah, kid's finger, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it. It's annoying getting your fingers, 100% agree. I'd have to do it every time. Nice, what's the top crossbar made of this? Looks like metal. It's a 2010 maybe, looks like, yeah. All right, 109 people here, you guys rock. While we're talking, I'm gonna give this a few more minutes, what time we got? I'm gonna give it 10 more minutes. So if you have any questions, throw them out there. I'm gonna move my, I'm gonna attempt to move the filament while it's printing, which is probably stupid, but we're gonna try it anyway, come on. I'm gonna move my spool holder forward, so it's a little more close to this side. I might even wanna go further than that. Might take it out. I'm just messing everything up. Shane, non-foam, how are ya? Andres is back or still here. Hey, is Chris Riley still streaming? He's a good dude. I gotta get him on HotMakes too. We haven't had him on HotMakes yet. Lightspeed says yes, there we go. All right, so when this is done, I'm actually probably gonna take the whole spool holder off and move it forward like another maybe two inches, just so that I'd rather have the center of the spool lined up with my whole extruder assembly. Just, I like it better that way. All right, how the extruder will be calibrated on the CR-10 Smart, what do you mean by that? I apologize, I don't understand what your question is. Something we didn't talk about yet, watching both, nice. Hopefully he's doing good on his. And it's printing. I'm not sure if you got it printing yet. A link to a 427 board for upgrade for the Ender-3. Ooh, who has those? Try to remember, TH3D might have some of those boards. I think you'd get them from Amazon.  If you go to my links, my Amazon store link is down there. It's like amazon.com, store forward slash danger tech or something like that, but it's in the description. Click on that. I have a bunch of boards in there. If it's not there, search 427 Creality Board and it'll link back through my channel and help me out quite a bit with Amazon. So thank you guys for using those. His Benchy's almost done. Oh no, under tune. Can you speed up the print? Benchy Bo is Chris, nice. I should have sliced something, but I wanted to do something from the card. So I'm kind of weird like that. The first thing I always like to print most of the time, about 99% of the time is whatever came on the card because we should try it. Because my opinion is they should send you like the best thing they could slice to show off this printer. And then I go into proofs of slicer and either come up with my own profile or use one that they have or something like that. And then I try to do more stuff and hopefully it comes out better or as good as this, right? But I like to, when I test the printers, I like to give it to you just like you'd be pulling it out of the box. Because a lot of people, especially new people to the 3D printing, aren't gonna slice anything before they do this, right? They're gonna print something right off the card to see if it works. So I like to do that. Let's see, there is Wi-Fi just so you know. Looks like I need to go to an app and I'll probably play with that. Then you can test your Wi-Fi. You can actually start printing and everything right from your phone, which is cool. Interesting. So let's see, what did somebody ask me? Oh, it's like, can I speed it up? I don't know if I can right now because can we get a Wi-Fi video?  Oh, there we go. I lied, I can do something. So I tried to touch buttons and I had to find one that worked. So I could turn a light on, which is cool. There's the light. I don't know if you just saw it. Click on over there. Let's see. Off on, off on, it's right there. Let's see, hotbed, I can turn it up. So if we're gonna speed this up, let's crank it up to like 220. Let me let it heat up a little bit before we go messing with the speed, right? We can crank this bad boy up for a couple more minutes, see what happens. Wanna see how it works with the Ethernet cable? Good question. Let's see, I believe Wi-Fi is the only link to Creality Cloud per, oh, okay. Interesting. Their Wi-Fi is the only link to Creality Cloud. I wonder if the Ethernet, which is right here by the way, there's an Ethernet port, a USB port, power button. Front here, that's where your SD card goes. Aye, let's do this. You guys wanna see 300%? Here we go. We just cranked it up to 300%. Let's see what happens. Why not? For a couple minutes, right? Now I'm expecting this to be maybe stringy, but we'll see. It's flying now, I love it. Power resume, I assume it does. We can find out. The Ethernet is just a small built-in Creality Wi-Fi box, got it. Yeah, I went to 300, why not?  It's pretty fast. As you can see, I love it. Download the app, make an account, link your printer and upload prints to the cloud. See, I'm gonna have to dive in to produce a slicer too. So I'm not sure what Carl uses for a slicer. He had one of these, but I'm gonna make sure that I find a Prusa Slicer profile. So the video that I do following this up will talk about the prints I'm getting, hopefully show you and have a Prusa Slicer profile linked in there, make, you know, probably talk about the Wi-Fi as well, all that stuff. Yeah, I bet you need to put your prints into the cloud. I agree, as long as they give you credit and there's like owners for those prints, right? It's not like things, it would be awesome if we could just have like this thing connected to like things. So you could just like go onto the cloud, go to things, find a model, shoot it straight to your printer right from things. That would be awesome. Using your co-exfilament. Most have tried to enter through Maxis 200. Yeah, I haven't tried 300 either yet, but hey, it's not doing terrible. I could definitely tell a little bit as far as quality goes, because it's really zipping along now, but hey, it's not failing yet. So that's a good thing. You can't set the electronic steps of the extruder. Profiles work fine for sure, yeah. Yeah, I really don't like that, Astro printer, yeah, that you have to load your stuff to their cloud. I'm torn on that, right? Cloud is a cloud, but yeah. I have not, Shane, I'm gonna get up there, we're gonna try to do a video actually at their new place soon. I need to, I had to take a day off for my normal job to go up there, because by the time I get off and get up there, they'd be closed, and I wanna be, I wanna see the actual production, so I wanna make sure it's a production day as well. But yeah, I'm pretty pumped to see the new buildings. I haven't seen this since they moved. Yeah, this thing's zipping along. I might just let it finish at 300. Now I did turn the heat up to 220, and that's normally what I print my coax at anyway, but printing rate 300, if you wanna see that, I'll take you for a ride here just so you can see the screen. Wee! All right, real quick. See if I can give you a good look here. There you go. So you have your nozzle temp, 300 bed 60 printing rate at 300 as well.  So you can back out of here, and that's their main screen, let's see. There you go. This is the main screen that you see here. See if I can make it focus on, there we go. So it also gives you the same things, temps. Now that circle in the center is your completion, and you can see I'm barely a quarter of the way done yet, so we're gonna let it fly at 300. You can see the feed rate there says 300 right there, and the Z offset right now is at 0.10, and we're 52 minutes in. So not a bad thing, the lights I was talking about, let's see if I can get a good shot. They're right there, and you can turn them on by doing that, like that. Pretty cool. On off on those. The print is going very good for 300%, right? If I could zoom on the print, that would be even better. Yeah, SD card slot here.  On the side, we have our NIC, if you wanna use a network cable. Power button there on the right, and the USB, I believe you can plug a camera in. We talked about this one earlier, this is, oops, this is the, there we go. There we go. It's a box full of cool stuff. Let me see if I can focus it on there, that'd be okay, right? So, there we go. Bunch of stuff in the box, which is awesome, and they also include the top padding, if you wanna keep that in there. Now it is a little bit, sorry for the crappy video, I'm trying to do this one handed here. It is a little bit tight to push this box back in with the top padding on, but I think it's worth it. And it's got a magnetic latch, which is great. Yeah, so overall pretty good printer. So far I don't know about prints, we're gonna do a bunch of testing and let you know. But I mean the idea, right? The idea is good. It has auto bed leveling, it has the new hot end, I gotta look and see what they actually called that new hot end again, because I can't remember. But yeah, and next time I do it live, I'll hook up both cameras. Yes, and the Ender 5 Plus was like early iteration for them and as far as touchscreen goes, and I hated touching that thing a thousand times to do any, I actually swapped it out with a TH3D kit to make it analog. Yeah, so yeah, we kind of did a quick tour. There is belt tensioners on, it looks like X and Y. Overall pretty good. I mean this thing's 300%, I'll take a picture when it's done and I'll put it up on socials later today to kind of give you an idea of, maybe you can see where we went from 100 to 300, but I'm gonna let it fly at 300%. We'll see what happens. Maybe it'll fail, maybe it'll work. I don't know. I'm also working on some more vases for the vase contest just to show off. Like I said, if you haven't done a vase yet, get in there. It's free. All you have to do is jump in the link I posted earlier. Let me see, is this it? Yeah, use this link too. Go on to the socials, post a picture of the vase as you printed and tag that. Do it.  You got like a little more than 24 hours now, but still. Do it. So far, so good. I'm gonna let it fly.  I'm starving and maybe get some stuff done while Lindsay and the little man are out at the birthday party, but any limits on entries. I don't think they limited the entries. Now there's somebody that posted like 30-something vases and he's donating them. So it's really cool. It's because he is donating them all to a good cause in the end, so that's gonna be really fun. But jump on there and do a bunch. I'll send you an email, David Johnson sounds good. Send me an email, Jim at theedgeoftech.com. I do my best to respond. There you go. It is a little bit crazier. The more and more subs I get, I appreciate every single one of you guys, but the more and more hard it is to keep up with all the comments and the emails and the chats and stuff like that. So I definitely appreciate it. Local maker, there you go. I'm gonna print a vase for the contest. Yeah, you've printed like 30-something. Let us know in the comments before I shut down real quick how many you've printed. It's a lot. It's like 34, something like that. Good luck, Shane says good luck. I love the fact that there's no bed springs, yes. I love solid bed mounts. I usually drop an easy ABL on my printers and get rid of those. I just go with solid anyway. Andrew S, I hope you have a good one too. Rock on. Yeah, shoot me your stuff. Man, this thing is for 300%, it's cooking. I love it.  Fun stream is always thank you. I really appreciate that again. Thank you to everybody who donated through PayPal. Earlier, I think Jonathan Barnes and anyone who donated here on the stream. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate that.  I don't think I see anyone came a member today, but if you want to, there's a link in the description below. You can do the Buy Me Coffee, which is like two bucks, I think right around there. And then I think the other one is like $4 or $5. And it really helps out the channel, Patreon as well, all that stuff's in the bottom there. I'm gonna do another this coming week. I'll announce it for members. You'll see it in the chat. So in YouTube, you can do a member's only chat. I'll announce it soon, but I don't know if I can do it next weekend. Sometime this week, I'm gonna try to do another member only chat, have some fun, see if anyone wants to jump in, that kind of thing. Vases, yes, 32. 32 vases so far. Nice work. Thank you everybody for watching. Thank you for hanging out and I appreciate all the great compliments. I hope the videos help and the journey of 3D printing. I know there's some awesome makers with us right now and there's some awesome makers out there and I really appreciate you guys taking the time to watch any of the videos. I have every week, every week, every day this week, I think until Friday, I'll have another Merv video every day. Starting with, I was gonna release it today. I think I'm gonna wait till tomorrow. I have another one with Jim. You had a C-M-E-C-N-C, if you watched Joel Telling's Merv video, you saw me run over to him when he flipped it upside down. We're gonna talk about that Boss 300 and printing upside down and that's gonna be a lot of fun too. Yeah, but everybody else have a great one. Jerry, nice to see ya. Congrats on the 2,500 subs. Yeah, everybody have a great one. I will post pictures when this is done. I didn't know how long it was gonna take. Apparently it's gonna take quite a long time. Let's see, but we're about a quarter away there now at 60 minutes, 59 minutes. I cranked it up to 300. So hopefully this thing will be done in the next like two hours or something. We're gonna check it out. Everybody have a great, great rest of the weekend on a Saturday. I'm gonna go get some stuff done and then I'm gonna walk across the street to the park and watch some local music. But I can't thank you all enough for being here. We are gonna start doing live streams like at least once a week now. I have so much stuff to unbox here. I wanna get that done.  I have a video ideas or suggestions. Let me know. You can always email them to me, chat me. Find me on the social medias. Yeah, tomorrow night, HotMakes. That's on the new HotMakes channel on YouTube. If you search HotMakes, you'll find all the videos. You'll find the new channel called HotMakes and you wanna be there tomorrow night. Big news, big, big news tomorrow night on HotMakes. And we want everybody to be there with us six o'clock p.m. if you can. Otherwise, re-watch it if you have to. I understand some people, it's too late. But, cool. Terry, nice to see ya. You said with a shift in hours, you gotta watch a lot of chats. Glad to make it here. I'm glad you made it too. I'm glad everybody made it. Thank you guys for spending some time with me. Have a great rest of your afternoon, everybody. And I'll keep you posted on this print. Hopefully it does good with 300%. See you later, everybody.


Kashem Shatima, the vice presidential candidate of the all-progressive Congress, says the fixation on the age and health of Bala Tinnabu, the standard barrier of the party, is mischievous. Shatima spoke in Lagos at the Banquet Health in honor of President Mohammed Bwari, who was in the state for a two-day visit. There have been concerns about the age, identity and health of Tinnabu. The former governor of the new state said he and the candidate are not preparing for the Olympics before governance to thrive on superior ideas. Shatima said Tinnabu is an individual that is known to sacrifice his comfort for the country. He also said Atiku Abu Bakr, the presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party, sought refuge in Tinnabu when he was harassed by his party in 2007. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
