As far as the oscilloscope tutorial goes, I think it will be evergreen content that people will come back to for years to come. I know I certainly plan to use it when I eventually am able to get my hands on an oscilloscope. I know that doesn’t help you in the algorithm right now but I hope it doesn’t discourage you too much from making helpful tutorials like that.

This is the part many people seem to miss (my theory: ADHD and delayed-gratification pull against each other). Unless you're really pressed for money, and need immediate liquidity, evergreen contents are objectively better worth for your time. Case in point: (there may be more/better examples, but) @Afrotechmods' youtube channel... the guy literally retired after making some evergreen content & can now live off the revenue as passive income and do whatever he wants to with the rest of his life (including, and not limited to making self-reloading nerf blasters, if he wants to).

Yeah, I think he is underrating the value of his in-dept content. His dive into the technical aspect is how I found his channel in the first place. As far as monetization goes though, perhaps this 3D/tech niche is cut-throat and he is planning on minimizing the script next? He can go on for an hour about the most interesting topic, but if his dialogue is rife with idiosyncratic quasi-intellectual, arduously precise, obviously erroneous big words that probably confuse most people KZread; he will suffer ad-sense degradation if the thumbnails aren't soyboy lit.

So in case you don't know, the fractal vise is a model of a Real Machinist Vise. It first showed up on the Internet because of "Hand Tool Rescue". Its actually surprisingly popular now because CnC machining makes it much easier to make, and therefore much cheaper than it was in the 1800's.

Regarding the oscilloscope video, I haven't watched it yet but I am super excited to watch it. It's the type of content that I want to wait until I can give my full focus to watch because I don't want to miss anything. Come to think of it, I'll let it play in the background to boost its stats ❤

But, until otherwise stated, it's equally possible that it wasn't accounted for and he's going to get a bunch of funny looking prints until he figures out his mistake.

Wow, I haven't seen this channel in a couple years. I am so glad to see it blew up. The quality this guy was putting out for only a few thousand subs was crazy

Holy crap. I remember that digital sundial from back before I had a printer - it was there back in 2015. I had added it to my Thingiverse "must print" list and dreamed of the day when I would finally print it... and I never did. Excellent prints you've shared here.

I'm sorry people weren't interested in the oscilloscope tutorial. I really enjoyed it and it was useful since I'm planning on getting one sometimes soon. I also shared with a friend of mine that can use it to intro people at his company. Maybe you need another channel to post non-3D printing stuff? I enjoy your mixing of techniques and your advice when building projects.

just a heads up, I watch you for you, your personality and your unique perspective and twist on things. the specific content you make to me doesn't matter as much as long i can digest the content. DIY, 3d print, electronics projects, and design are all great, and i enjoy seeing your take on things! I didn't watch the oscilloscope video only because I don't know this machinery. Just my one perspective, but i think it's good to tell your fav creators how you feel so they can get feedback! keep up the awesome vids bro

Calibrating my resin printer to print the Jar Jar 17:35 . Its actually amazing

That sundial is amazing! Imagine getting one that slowly reads out a poem or famous quote over the course of a day...

The articulated critters, kinetic art and hextraction tiles were my favorites. The sundial is also amazing but too witchcraft-y for me.

Do not bash the Oscilloscope episode ! If you take it off your channel I'll take your life off this earth

For the Sierpinski 4-Pyramid, try printing it with 2 color co-extrusion filament for the best result. Great model! Thanks

Your videos are so entertaining and informative! Thanks man 😊

13:07 - Next time you shoot a Nerf blaster at the camera, try a shot with the camera pointed at 90-degree-angle mirror. That way you can aim and fire the blaster directly at the lens's reflection in the mirror, and still not damage your camera itself. Choose glass mirror (and slow-motion video recording) for awesome distortions and/or shattering effects, and choose an acrylic safety mirror if you want to more safety (acrylic-ly). Bonus visual points for revealing a cool-looking thing behind the broken mirror, after the dart is fired at it.

fun fact that vise also exists (at least vintage-ly) out of metal in a real™ way, ive seen at least one tool restoration video about it

How do you manage the moisture absorption of filaments if they’re all just sitting on a shelf? Do you have to dry them constantly before using them?

@i_like_trains72

10 ай бұрын

Sort of, yeah. Depending on the humidity and plastic, you have to dry it before printing. Personally, I like to dry my filament as needed, and then print right from it. PETG - dry it! TPU - dry it! ASA - dry it! ABS - never used it, 'dry' and see PLA - don't, unless the filament is brittle.

@foldionepapyrus3441

10 ай бұрын

Possible this basement is a climate controlled space sufficiently dry for most filaments, not all plastics are equally bothered and a comfortable temperature and humidity range for humans overlaps with those spools requirements. But some filaments really can't ever be dry enough, so for those actually printing right out of an active drybox is to be recommended for best results.

@@Elmojomo that’s crazy. You should try it. Food dehydrators are cheap and work well. I think you’ll be impressed by the quality difference if that’s a factor you care about. All filaments absorb moisture, just some faster and more dramatically than others. (Nylon is notorious for absorbing enough moisture to cause issues within seconds to minutes in your sort of humidity. Even PLA, which it’s extremely common for people to say doesn’t absorb a meaningful amount of moisture (to the point it affects print quality) absolutely does. Especially if it’s near 50% humidity around you, it only takes a matter of hours to a day for it to absorb enough to affect perimeter surface finish and stringing.

Can't speak for anyone else of course, but I have an X1C and it's been the best printer I've ever owned, by a large margin. I had a Monoprice Mini, and a (highly upgraded) Creality CR-10S, and neither could hold a candle to the X1. I absolutely love just being able to send a print and not wonder if it's going to work or not, it just does. I've had a grand total of maybe 5 failed prints since I've been running this machine, and 2 of those were my fault. I HATE walled garden devices, but this thing just produces flawless prints one after the other.

Great video as always, though there is a very quiet ringing / hissing in the background that's very distracting for my young ears, in the event you can't hear it (don't worry, even cyborg augmentations degrade over time), you should try figuring out your hearing range and mute everything outside it in your editing software, this won't have an effect on audio fidelity / clarity as your videos are mostly vocal commentary that sits way lower on the audio spectrum. Also, have fun at opensauce!

To reload magnet launcher: as a kid I had a marble set with this piece and I actually had the same idea to make a track that could reload and after about an hour, I did, but what you want to do is use a path alternator to launch the first one as usual then send another down to take a reloading path on the other side of the alternator and the third marble you send down will only cause a slightly weaker launch

I just ordered my first resin printer (photon mono 2) and I know myself, I know I will get this printer like it but want something bigger. That M5s seems awesome.
