I'm trying to upload a video every few weeks, but if it takes me 2 months to finish (probably because I'm doing 5 other things as well), then it will simply take 2 months. Forcing myself to make a video every week, no matter what, only promotes shallow content.

I've been gifted a 30W cheap pen to pyrograpghy pen to use - with no instructions - do you have to let it heat up first?
Even cheap ones usually heat up quite fast since the tip is so small. Leave it for a few minutes and it should be good to go. The only thing to keep in mind is that you might have to work slower - if you go too fast, it can't heat up the tip quickly enough.
Tip for if you use the sticky back paper method. Flip the image backwards and it will be the right way when you apply the stencil.
@@PkmHax Excellent point, thanks for sharing!
I don't need a new hobby... I don't need a new hobby... I don't need a new hobby... 😭😭😭
@@irisdawnmiranda7808 On the other hand, you can never have too many hobbies 😀
Hi, thank you for making this video! What kind of ruler did you use to make the straight lines? Cheers!
@@jeskehendriks I bought a set of 5 or so from Aldi once, nothing special, but they are aluminium.
I have this weird issue where the filament clogs in the bottom end of the heat sink (the part that is screwed in the heating element). It follows the general pattern for heat creep (first few lines are normal, then clogging sets in). Sometimes I can print an entire temp tower, albeit very brittle (so some clogging is in effect). Other times, nothing. My IR camera shows no heat leakage to to heat sink (only a cool 60°C, without the cover and fan). I do not understand why filament would clog in the heating element. It melts in there just fine. Creality's customer support is totally useless.
@@JasonRobards2 Can you verify that the top of the nozzle (above) has a small gap left?
Thanks for this. Well done.
Everything is biodegradable, even uranium, given enough time. So when they claim something is biodegradable without specifying a timeframe, take it with a grain of salt, it's a generic term that can be used and abused for any product. Most people confuse 'biodegradable' with 'compostable.' The EU compostable label means that the product must break down within 12 weeks when buried in moist soil. "EN 13432 requires compostable plastics to disintegrate after 12 weeks and completely biodegrade after six months, meaning that 90% or more of the plastic material will have been converted to CO2."
I am going to give it a go...thankyou
Putting it in the ground is not composting.
Which is why the video has "biodegradable" in the title.
Did you use a brand new bed so it looks nice on the video? If not, can you show how you get it that clean ? Don’t say dishshoap and warm water . We all know that doesn’t work
It wasn't new, it was about a year or two old when I made that video. I wait for it to cool down before removing the object, otherwise it can leave marks behind. I also wipe it with isopropyl alcohol every few prints. You have to be careful with the spatula and not scratch the surface.
you sound like you were drunk whle filming
Yes, I get that a lot.
great video, thx u very much.
Wait what else can I use for wiping the soot off?????
I haven't tried anything else except fine sanding paper.
Best Temp for wood on solder iron?
It depends a little on the tip used, but start at 400'C and go up until it burns sufficiently.

@@HobbyHoarder Thx
So I can print my rc submarine hull using PLA and it will be okay 👍🏻 I’ll coat it with epoxy resin for extra protection
I'd use epoxy regardless to seal the gaps. I've printed a few flower pots for my wife and most of them leaked slowly over time.
@@HobbyHoarder I'll use epoxy for sure 👍
thanks a ton man🙏
Hey🎉🎉thanks for not helping and saying the same thing everyone does🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pulp fiction!!!!!!!😂😂😂
When Bonnie goes shopping she buys shit!
Thanks worked great
Great to hear that!
This is incredible. I've tried acetone, alcohol, WD-40, oil, hotgun and several disolvents with no result. Now I feel stupid, the only thing I needed was water🤦. Thank U!
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best 😅
Pla is only compostable in an industrial composter with 70-80°C i think for a longer time like it has in a hotrod when you put it on a compost heap but it has to stay at a long time Its not durable for costumers Better to recycle it
first person I have seen 00 to use hid god given natural drawing skill to make a sign --well done
I see you are a natural artist --you dont use that ink jet printer --simply burn the image without computer assist 00well done --avoid those goddam fancy printers
Yeah, this is something I needed to painfully learn for myself. I really wish I had found this when first starting out.. That mockup cross-section of a hotend explains it in a way that no video of a dude wrenching apart a hotend and screwing it back together can truly explain in such intricacy.
I'm glad to hear you've liked it, thanks for dropping by!
Благодаря ви за вашето видео, което ми дава повече знания за калиграфията
Thank´s a lot, you help us more that you can imagine.
Excellent tip!!! Worked and the plate looks new, no damage to the special coating and that’s what worried me
That's great to hear!
Can't wait to try wood burning, such a creative way to personalize items! 🔥
We have been deceived. This Artificial biodegradable PLA are advertised as naturally biodegradable plastic. This is huge.
What is a proper retraction setting for an Ender 3 to avoid clogs? I’m having A LOT of clogs lately. Thanks in advance!
There are various Ender 3 versions, but it you have the one with bowden extruder, I'd start with 5mm and go from there. For direct drive, 0.5mm is a good start. If it was working ok before, I'd try a different filament brand first, it might be just as simple as that. You could try printing a stringing test/tower with different retraction settings, that should get you really close.
What about bad bed adhesion? I cant even print the squares on my ender 3 s1 pro, please help im slowly giving up on 3d printing :[
ME F&$#ing either. I bought a glass bed, I tried glue stick, hairspray. Nothing worked. I haven’t printed a damn thing yet 3 months. Got an auto bed leveler to and an all metal extruded. I’m starting to think I got conned and this whole community is a psyop
What about bed adhesion? I cant even print the sqaures on my ender 3 s1 pro
The PEI sheet on your Ender should work really well. Clean it with iso alcohol or soapy water, maybe it's simply too greasy. If that doesn't work, you probably need to get your nozzle even closer.
I had this idea but was afraid to try, thank you very much
Hi yesterday I started my first try with a cheap stuff and what I noticed is that the metal "pencil" if I can name it so it's much longer than yours on the video so not easy to make something with details. Also what I used for wood was a cut wood for the kitchen and believe me wasn't that easy. I had to stay 10" - 12" to the same point to get my burning mark and not always perfect. I had the feeling or the wood wasn't good or the cut burning machine wasn't good...really I don't Know but I was disappointed and not happy with the results. Do you have an idea why this happend???
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing the wood was too hard. From my experience, soft woods work much better because they burn at lower temperatures. See if you can get some scrap plywood, my hardware store usually has some for free or very cheap. Only if that doesn't work would I consider changing the burning tool. Some simply don't heat up enough. One last thing to keep in mind - you have to regulary clean the tip as you're working, otherwise it will collect soot and won't be able to give off enough heat. I hope that helps!
Hi there. Glazier who has been in the industry for about 10 years now. Clear glass and mirrors are made out of the exact same materials, the only difference is that the mirror has a reflective surface called silvering applied to one side of it. In the video shown, you are still using the glass side.
Yes, you're right, thank you for the comment. When I made the video, I wasn't aware of that yet, but found out later. I personally prefer PEI sheets over glass now, I've had much better results with it.
@@HobbyHoarder I just ordered one of the high temp engineering plates from bamboo labs, I have been using almost exclusively PEI sheets. I have had quite a bit of trouble tuning my P1P with polymax pla filament using the PEI sheet, I keep getting a k-factor of 0.058. That just seems way too high to me. At k-.021 my edges look a lot better but the seams still look like they’re not connecting properly. My theory is the textured pei sheet was screwing me up, but even with a calibration tower I still get .058. Any ideas?
What is with people disabling steppers?! That's the worst advice ever when trying to level your bed. The point of leveling the bed is to make sure get the bed flat so that it is the same distance from the nozzle at all points. If your disable the steppers and start moving shit by hand you're gonna end up moving your z axis completely screwing up your level
If you're doing manual bed leveling, then you have to disable the steppers so that you can move the hotend around and adjust each corner. This, of course, is not done with auto bed leveling.
A thousand thanks !!!! I was afraid that this would be the case and you had great courage in making this video. I will follow the Project Plan. Thanks again.
There is more than one way to do something, but you think most 3D printer owners don't know how or when to change the nozzle properly. Most 3D printer owners are smarter than you may think, considering that the ones who are doing this as a hobby, side work or income, view it as an investment. The condescending tones of this video are startling. Thanks!
It was never meant to be condescending. As you say, many people learn by themselves, as did I. Then I thought why not make a video about it so that not everyone has to go through the entire learning process. I didn't know a lot of these stuff when I've gotten my first printer and other videos helped me learn a lot. This video was just a continuation of that. I'm sorry to hear it came across differently for you.
OMG!!! Thank you. I have been struggling with issues with my printer and apparently i was having heat creep. I found other articles but they just tell you things and seem to always leave out some important info. This video is so outstanding.....I can going to share this with all my new 3d printer friends. I am very new to 3d printer but not afraid to rip things apart to see out they are made...but sometimes i have issues putting them back together. lol This video so perfect for anybody new needing to understand some very small but very important details. I love the hot end cut away and the torque wrenches. After i get things put back together i am printing them out. Please keep making content like this.
Thank you, it's really great hearing how much you've liked it and it makes all the work worthwhile for me. Good luck with your printing, I'm sure you'll love it!
Useless video
good video. After I made a part for my saltwater aquarium, I searched it because I didnt think pla is going to biodegrade under normal condition. Some People are spreading false info about pla. Pla is plastic, so it is chemically inert, which means it is hard to get biodegrade. Glad I found this video to check the facts.
Has the new test with the hooks came out? Can't seem to find it.
I'm sorry to say it hasn't. We've moved and I forgot to dig up the Benchies, so they're still buried. Who knows, maybe I'll get the chance to get to them in 10 years. It's not really necessary though, a lot of research confirms that PLA will outlive all of us, even if left outside. It might crack due to UV exposure, but it won't degrade.
Which wood finish mineral oil can we use after wood burning?
I've never tried that before, but I don't see any reason why you'd need anything special, I'm sure any mineral oil for wood will work just fine.
Does it need to be hot
No, let it cool down first.
Please let me know that you will update the second part
I'm sorry to say no. We moved to a new place a while ago and I forgot to dig out the Benchies. They're still buried there. Theoretically, I might get to them someday in the future, which would be very interesting, but I'm afraid that's not very likely.
Thank you so much for the quick and reasonable product recommendations!
You're welcome, thank you for watching and dropping by.
You're leveling in the wrong place in the corner. Obviously.
Why do you talk like you’re drunk?
It's my special power.
Why does he talk like he’s drunk? 🥴
Awesome, thank you so much for this video.. all the best for 2024 ❤🙏🏻
Thank you, I wish the same for you and your family.
