    Alright Eric, I'm going to man up. Gotta do it. I've watched lots of your vids but I don't think I've ever commented. So here it is......your work is incredible. It's inspiring and I always learn a ton of stuff to apply to my own builds. Your work is completely unrelated to what I do but the types of thinking you apply to your projects, your problem solving skills, and your attention to detail is universal. So from one youtube maker to another, you gotta know you are doing great work. Both your projects AND your videos. Don't let the haters get to you, it's part of the game, it's a sign of success on the platform. And if nothing else remember that as far as KZread is concerned a like and a dislike are exactly the same. It's engagement. Each thumbs down encourages the bots to show your videos to more people. Have a good one Eric. PS. I really need to get me some of your fine tip glue applicators!

    I like most of your videos. I always like your content. That said, I have observed that are often the youtubers who defy/confront their viewers, who receive even more backlash. It just never goes well. You can't do anything about it. It's how this platform works. The creators who handle it best, just move on and focus on the content. They also address the audience as if we were clients or guests at your space, inviting us to hear what you want to share. Getting a 15-20% dislike ratio should make one wonder if there is anything one could improve: why other similar channels get better feedback? What do they do that I am not doing? what they don't do that I do? I would ask myself those questions. There's room everyone on YT no matter how unique your channel is. You don't have to change your style; just nail down what works that you also enjoy doing and stick to it. No one comes here to watch a rant. Most don't like drama either, unless it's channel about drama. We come because we like what you do and how you present it ...most of the time, anyway. The gist of it for me is: "I clicked on a video about "X subject". Well, then show me X subject, thanks" So that's my 2 cents. I spent some energy putting into words the dislike I gave you during the intro. I hope the feedback is appreciated.

    Good work man! Keep it up. I’m always shocked by the thumbs down. Amazing video yet some how a person out there in the world was not satisfied!!!!! WTF. A few Small criticisms, shorter intro would help. When I want to learn something I like to get straight to the point. Promoting is good just short and sweet is all. And some of the examples where a bit repetitive. I love the extra detail you put in. But after the first example I had the idea and rest was easily skip able. Which would make life easier for you as well, cause some times less is more, and that would reduce your work load. But that’s it love your videos and they help me a lot! Best matt.

    Hey - I outsource my SLA bottles to a vendor (midwest) that I have been using for years. They seem to be the only one I can count on for totally water clear, stepless, polished, no haze, no runs, no drips, no error- perfect models. I work for major industry CPG, and clear bottles are about all I do. Their tricks are secret, but until I can find an alternate that lives up to their quality, they will remain my go to source. Sometimes I can't even tell the difference between PET and prototype SLA.

    Instead of using clear paint, maybe you can try carpenting "polyacrylic" finish. For the internal surface, just pour some in, shake it, and then pour it out for future reuse. The polyacrylic have good surface tension, so it will tend to stretch on it's own while curing producing smooth surface, saving you from sanding.

    Instead of spraying, we do dipping: just dip your "clear" SLA part in a 1 part polyurethane(or slow curing 2 part) and slowly retract it out of the liquid. The slower the pull, the thinner the layer will be. No drips! And the thickness of the layers is perfect everywhere.

    Try clear acrylic floor polish. It can be poured in then rolled around and poured out. For the outside it can be dipped, brushed or sprayed. Multiple coats can be built up. It can be thinned with water. I smoothed the inside of a rough plastic emblem by cutting the polish 50% with water, pouring it into the emblem to cover all the surface then poured out the excess. To dry I supported the emblem inside down atop the tips of three lad screws poked through a piece of cardboard. The silicone mold I made from the emblem came out smooth enough that when Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome is sprayed on the inside it shines like vacuum sputtered aluminum, like the original when it was new nearly 70 years ago.

    You can go higher than 400 but you're talking about diminishing returns and it's not worth your time and you get the same results, for bottles either you need to take the bottom off or figure out how to sand inside.

    Another great video, Eric. I don't think it pays to fight the thumbs down'rs. Haters gonna hate and KZread actually rewards you for those anyway because they count it as engagement. Just keep cranking out quality content and you will keep growing. It looks like you are targeting potential customers too so you probably don't want to show an adversarial side if you want to make a good first impression on potential clients. This video had great content and good flow. One constructive criticism... I always skip the part where you introduce yourself because it's too long to just wait through it after the first time. I think most views come from non-subscribers so I can see why it may be important for it to be there. If you haven't already, look at your retention graphs. If you get dropoffs there it's probably worth dropping, shortening or moving that section. If you don't get dropoffs then it's not a problem. Thanks again for sharing. I shared this video in one of the resin printing groups that I'm in.

    I don't know why youtube recommended this video to me, but whatever, I'll check it out. The aggressive/entitled challenge to downvoters to explain themselves was pretty odd, but I can see how it would be irritating if there was a someone with multiple accounts or a group of people who for some reason were targeting you. But I just did a quick survey of about 15 of your recent videos and ... you don't have a downvote problem. Just about any video will get a few percent downvotes, and who knows why. That is just the way it is. So getting back to this video, I know have context, and yeah, your rant was out of place. Don't get personally insulted that it happens; it just does. As for me: I didn't vote on this video, as my interests are very different from what you do; I have no opinions about it. But now I get why this video is getting so many downvotes.

Since they don't have any friends or family, its their only way of getting noticed, even if it's in their own feeble little minds. The best way to handle it is just to ignore them like everyone else does.

    Alright, you want a reason for the thumbs down... well, the internet is a hard place to live in (or to make videos in). The moment you show that you are affected by something someone says or do, people (humains... maybe) will try to get that reaction out of you. I admire your desire to probably improve yourself with potentially critical comments... thats awsome. In short, you need to laugh at them... while at the same time taking the interresting critical stuff... a bit paradoxal i know, but you seem very competant in your domain, good luck fellow 3d printing person :)

    As an avid KZread watcher (came here from Hackaday) - **almost every** KZread video has dislikes, and your videos are in the "normal video" ratio of dislikes. I don't know the reason why people dislike individual videos, I personally rarely do that, so it's baffling for sure. However, one thing that you never do is complain about it. It's pointless, the people disliking won't really listen to you - they have their reasons to press "Dislike" and they probably won't speak up in the comments, hell, no guarantee they even watch your video in full. However, for the people that actually like your videos, no matter if they press "thumbs up" or not, they came here to listen about interesting things - but you're spending their time talking about people that disliked your video, a minority of your viewers for which you don't even really understand the varied reasons behind the action you define them by. When worded in a confrontational way, people might thumbs down your video because they're confronted with a negative thing when they just wanted to watch interesting tech content, or just for the contrarian sake of it. Some people will like your video, some won't. However, the dislikes are actually overrepresented on YT compared to likes. How? People are more likely to "thumbs down" a video they disliked than they are to "thumbs up" a video they liked. This is similar to people leaving negative feedback on stores, they readily do it, but to get positive feedback, you have to ask. I get your problem, however. Some people that "thumbs down" your videos actually have useful stuff to tell. Since you are interested in feedback - I suggest you word this differently. I.e. "Like this video? Leave a thumbs up. Dislike it? Leave a thumbs down, and please leave a comment suggesting what I could do to improve my videos." People that actually leave dislikes meaningfully (some don't) won't feel attacked, but you do remind there's a way to let you know what is it that they're not comfortable with. Granted, not all feedback deserves to be taken into account, so don't worry. There are people out there that will dislike you simply because they i.e. dislike your voice =D
