Bambu Lab informed me their filament is NOT made by Sunlu. It turns out this was a rumor from user groups on Facebook, Discord, and Reddit, that started when a number of filament orders arrived in Sunlu-branded shipping cartons. A warehouse probably ran out of Bambu-branded boxes and used Sunlu ones instead of ordering more. The two filament companies have no relation.

I just bought a motorised standing desk from a company called OmniDesk here in Australia which looks to be absolutely identical to the desks you're selling, including all the different tabletop materials you offer. Every single aspect of the design is the same, down to the ridges on the little plastic circular feet on the bottom of the legs. The accessories are also the same, although by the look of it you offer a few extra accessories they don't. The one thing that's different is the aesthetic design of the controller, which I imagine the OEM offers as a customisable option to resellers who buy these things in bulk. To be clear, this desk is amazing, worth every cent I paid and more. I would buy it again in a heartbeat, and would recommend it to anyone who was thinking of getting a standing desk. So don't take this as a criticism, I'm just curious about the way these companies work and how the products themselves are actually developed and made.

To add some context to the first item you reviewed, I have seen an E-bike like that used for a Japanese drunk driver service. They ride a similar vehicle to where the customer is drunk with their vehicle. They fold the bike up in and place it into the customers vehicle. They then drive them back to their home so that the customer and vehicle are both where they need to be. The service unpacks the bike and rides to their next job. A lot of bars in Japan have cards for these services so if you know you are too drunk to drive, you can call and travel safely.

The thing that I think companies like FLSun forget when trying to capitalize off a community of makers is that... we are a community of makers. We want to be able to create without restrictions and use a product to its full potential.

It's quite frustrating as a maker as well, especially when such restrictions are not made clear up front.

My first printer was an XYZtech DaVinci Minimaker. My poor, unknowledgeable family got it for me for christmas. Actually very interesting, the hotend is just one giant nozzle. The issue? All spools were tagged. It would only run XYZprint, AND XYZprint would refuse to print if the on-spool NFC was missing or "empty." That meant you could only ever use their brand of filament. XYZ went out of business a while back, so until I nut up and hack it, It's a 300$ paperweight. Came with a spool of translucent blue "PLA" that printed just like PETG.

If authenticating genuine goods is the goal, there are better ways to go about it. Bambu could just register their tags' UUIDs during the production process, and when an AMS loads the filament, it would send the serial number to Bambu's servers to look it up. If it's not on the list, the printer could ask the user whether to trust the encoded settings, or prefer the G-code.

I'm going to sound like a conspiracy theorist. Sounds to me like they're boiling the frog. Push back now or you'll be paying a subscription for pay to print. No different to HP ink printers.

I have a V400, and in its stock form, I agree to everything you say. HOWEVER, since I have flashed official Klipper on it and tuned input shaper, I love it. The thing flies at 300mm/s and 12k acceleration easily, and at around 200 print hours it seems to be really reliable so far. So I would not really shy away from it, if someone thought about buying it.

Really appreciate the review of the v400 and I think it should be spread around more. Many youtubers that reviewed it don't have the knowledge you have to be able to fully evaluate it and tended very positive without fully understanding the product. I purchased one and have been happy with it but wish I was informed with what you said before deciding. I have had some troubles with the silicone cover. Also the heat block getting bent while printing. Funny but unrelated thing to mention is that with it being 3 ft tall I have to run it on the ground as otherwise I would need some sort of step stool to insert the filament into the top. Had to rewire the screen to come out of the top to avoid having to sit fully on the ground to use it.

Bambu could easily open up that NFC spool tag system so that other filament manufacturers could support it (or people could custom-program tags for other spools to have them plug and play the same way). And other printer manufacturers would be able to implement it too, like how Bambu has built on open designs others have made. Unfortunately from what I've heard they don't seem that interested in supporting the open source community themselves in any way.

The Bambu AMS does actually track remaining filament, but in a great way. Under the Hexagon Icon, you can select "Update Remaining Capacity" and it will let you know if you have enough filament left to complete a job or not. People seem to not know this.

when enabling it it does not pull up a log but spins the spool 1 full rotation by spinning it until the RFID drops signal then comes back in range. It measures how many mm of filament were passed through the gears then uses a circle circumference to radius calculator to estimate the radius of the edge of the filament wound on the spool thus giving capacity

40:46 honestly for something like that the locked-down part is pretty nice. Not having to take many precautions and just knowing it will always just do what you want it to is a good peace of mind.

Just finding your channel & I love it! You’re so genuinely funny & have great thorough reviews!

My most charitable interpretation of Bambu's RFID lockdown is that it's a measure against knock-off filament being sold under their brand, but that does feel like going out of my way to assume the best.

I built my own sit stand desk with a sit stand frame (£190) and an Ikea kitchen counter top (£45 - £70, I went for the fancy chopping block style) and it costed me roughly 350 dollars for my own measured size, it's just as simple! Only issue is that if you want to get your specific size (for me it was 186cm) you have to cut the table yourself, but the rest is so explanatory you don't need to have a predrilled counter top, once you line the frame up and measured all sides to be centered, you just tap the holes before screwing them in! Would recommend this, it feels great to make your own desk :) I've had it for 2 weeks and I've been loving it.

34:48 I find them neat for projects that are "fundamentally primitive" on their own (like it ends up just switching a relay or reading a sensor or something, making even an Arduino feel bored), but do benefit from some sort of complex display output (sensor read-outs, long text messages, plots), since you just talk to it over serial. The touchscreen versions are particularly handy, you can basically implement the whole GUI *in the display* - I turned one into a simple internet radio control panel (which yes, ended up being served by a full computer, but its single display output was already busy doing something else). Anyway, great video, I found myself reaching for the like button a dozen times throughout, love your delivery!

Zack, Great video. Thank you for sharing these products and giving honest grades. In the Creationspace electric screwdriver section, you mentioned it came with tools, a magnetizing thing and a useless bit. I may be wrong as they were shown quickly, I believe the magnet thing is used to show magnetic fields. Put it on a magnet and it shows patterns. The bit looks to be an extension for longer reach. Hopefully, if that's what they are, they actually work lol. Anyway, thanks again. Keep up the great work, you've earned a subscriber. Andrew

Great! I already track the cycle but I love the idea of automatically decreasing the number of dishwasher pods and automatically adding detergent to the shopping list- will build this as well!

I have a "Dremel GO" electric screwdriver and it has a little torque selector knob on the back of it, the lowest setting of which behaves similar to how I imagine the CreationSpace driver does. But, turn it up to max... and the thing will spin right out of your hand when the screw stops turning. It's a powerful little tool. I've put together WAY more IKEA flatpaks than I ever wanted to in my life, and it certainly saved me from the carpal tunnel

The electric screwdriver looks suspiciously like the "wowstick" one i got from aliexpress years back. I quite liked it.

41:20 I own a Wowstick electric screwdriver since 2019 and a second one since 2020, they're suspiciously similar to this CreationSpace (huh?) and they work wonderfully. Plenty of torque for that first/last half-turn, although sometimes you have to aid them a little in un-sticking particularly stuck screws. I started using them for everything, then I realized that they're perfect for large amounts of screwing (heh), but too much of a hassle (find device, find the right bit between dozens of them, maybe replace/charge battery) for a 10-screw job. Some of the bits are pretty weird and I just have the Wowstick ones, so they've saved me a few times. All in all, I'd buy another if these ones should fail.

I just use a electric ratchet from milwaukee with a 1/4" quick disconnect on it and hex bits for anything I need. Its like 35FT/lbs of torque. It is a lot bigger but the right angle part usually keeps it out of the way. its even super handy for Ikea furniture.

44:15 - that adapter allows you to use the mini-bits in a regular sized bit holder. They also exist in the iFixIt-kits.

I'm... pretty sure I'm working at a Flexispot right now, ironically. It looks a lot like the standing desks at my school's computer lab. Just so you know, they break pretty easily, and if you have something underneath it (like a particle board for life drawing easels) it can very easily get crushed. half the ones at my school don't work anymore.

Really enjoying these compilations

44:53 I use a set of hex-socket drillbits in a screwdriver for soft plastics. It's so much better than a drill in many cases. Also the cone-expanding type of drillbits with hex-socket, in a handtool you get precision you won't find in a drill.

This bike looks VERY VERY similar to my ENGWE EP-2 also a folding bike. Have you tried putting it into mode 5, where the throttle actually works? Keep pressing the + button.

That was a fun variety of "smart" devices. The face sensor was definitely my favorite. Doubt I'd ever have a use for that but it really was smarter than it has any right to be for its price point.

The adapter allows you to put the reduced-shank H4 bits in a standard 1/4" driver. You probably wouldn't do that with a T6 because you'd already have a good one. But for stuff like security bits where the bit is more important than the driver, it's super helpful.

Pretty sure that screw driver is just a re-cased generic micro driver. I have one that is nearly identical from Kaiweets. I was going to return it, but I took some heatshrink and put a couple layers on either side of the buttons and its a whole lot easier to hold on to.

Zack my team and I at PTZOptics are always watching your videos, what a treat. I would love to see a 3D printer throwdown.

So.... I'd just like to reach out and say that I love your videos and prosaic pronunciation and conveyance of your topics! I have a horrible habit of watching KZread at 1.5-2x speed and you're one the few channels that I like to watch wholeheartedly at normal speed. Thanks for your contribution. I'm sorry I can't participate more, but rest assured you're the reason for my limited funds to go to 3d printing and more importantly, the efficentization of my effective habitat and general peace of mind!

That's not a horrible habit, dude. Most youtubers seem to speak obnoxiously slow.

But can the Person Sensor detect dark skin tones? Most of these facial recognition sensors have issues with that. They're racist.

90% of this shit is over my head but it's entertaining as hell. You're a funny guy .... i'll subscribe.

My favorite youtube personallity! The knowledge, whit, and weirdness you wield is unparalleled. Bravo! #VoidStarLab

WinAmp! It really whips the llama's ass!

You reach for an electric screwdriver and regret it. I reach for an impact driver and reget it. We are not the same.

Flexispot is basically a $300 chinesium standing table base with a tabletop. I have 2 of amazon specials :P 2x8ft butcherblock on top and I get an insane standing desk for less than $600 :P

Dayum. First video of yours i've seen and IDK why you don't have more subs! This shit is right up my alley!

Dude, u r one hilarious person out there . Love your humor a lot! Regards from far Ukraine!

I put your profile pic in the video

You bring joy to otherwise lame product reviews. Thanks for your time you put into your videos and narration and jokes :)

small comment on the es121... I ended up having to merge a broken es120 with a 121 (long story) and discovered they not only have different gear boxes, but also different motor drivers.... and the two together has been a dream. Neither worked well on it's own, and was a waste, but together something strangely wonderful was made. Just thought you might wanna know... they *can* work well. Also you can unlock them via open source firmware and they just rock, but still driver + gearbox was weirdly helpful.

Well which parts from which are better in what regard?

More videos!!!! I want Zack working 20 hour days creating very entertaining videos so I can have 15-30 minutes of entertainment a couple of times a week. I demand this.

The electric screwdriver I use that is a Craftsman, cost $40 and it has enough torque to drive 3" screws into wood. It has a gyro to adjust speed by turning your hand while pressing the button, and it's rubberized. One of the best purchases I made for electronics. I use a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter for smaller projects, and I have never torqued something down too hard by accident.

So something that would be bad for small electronics, got it

The rfid tags for the spools are pretty slick, I hate having to adjust temps and settings when I change them. Every printer should have that and spools should come with them

I have the ES121 too, and yeah, it was disappointing. However, the ES15, despite having the smaller number, is significantly more powerful, has configurable torque, uses USB-C, has a light and impact mode, and has earned a prominent spot on my bench. Might be worth a try.

By the way, Ultimaker has been doing this for years where they put a RFID into their filament spools. It does track usage, and lets you know when it isn't compatible with the loaded printhead.

The hex adapter in the tool kit is used to install the bits in a larger driver. It's still mostly useless though, because a larger handle is way too much torque for a precision application.

😂 the commentary is the internet I didn’t know I need to day, literally cried laughing during the m6 segment 😂😂

44:15 its for 4mm hex bits, the small ones that don't fit standard 1/4" or 5/16" screwdrivers
