Is it your machine? Waste of time comment.

The only real requirement is that the screen has driver support in the particular Linux branch that you are installing on your Klipper powered printer. The smaller monitors that are used are often made specifically to work with basic Linux drivers to make them as easy as possible to setup. Some WaveShare small screens require driver installation to function and that starts to be deeper command line configuration than a lot of people want to get into. All that to say, there is no reason you cannot put a 22" touchscreen on if the drivers are there. I'd say most folks just don't bother cause even a cheap screen of that size costs more tan a lot of 3d printers do. No guarantee the image scaling will be correct, but it could be a fun adventure. I've actually got a 55" touchscreen for my new studio setup... Should we? haha

@@MandicLabs thank you :) 55" sounds nice, would definitely look good on the thumbnail too.

This is always the hard part of these things. Here it is less than half the price to get the BTT screen. When I bought it last week it was even cheaper. Never know what prices are like around the world unfortunately.

on the official btt site the hdmi5 is 41 euros ($44.60) with delivery from China, how come it is 60 euros?

Most BTT screens shipping now are the v1.2 variant which has the cables behind the screen rather than on the side. This means the cables can run through the bracket and into the machine where the existing hole is. There's even a free internal USB connection on the mainboard which can be used. For HDMI, on my machine, I am using a right angle adapter and routing the cable underneath the machine from there. No cables go around the side. Very low likelihood I'll hurt anything on my printer.

You can hot plug the screen all day long. If you snag the cable, you just plug it back in and it’s fine. Or you get shorter cables and route them under the base of the machine. Or around the corner as I showed at the end. But yes there is a variant of this screen that has connections that aren’t exposed and this mount will work with that. However I didn’t get that one and it seems to be luck of the draw, from Amazon anyway.

@@MandicLabs Good to know, thanks.

Cause they haven’t sent us enclosure kits yet. They told me they’d be sending one but it hasn’t shown up.

Great work. Thanks for making it.

It's just a friendlier and more intuitive interface. If you wanted a neater solution it would be a custom DSI solution with a Raspberry Pi so the cables could be completely hidden way... in your Voron. But the Sovol is a consumer product so things are probably expected to be more plug and play.

I’m not gonna bother with the fan. This machine won’t be making the move with me so that’s the next owner’s concern. I had wanted to address the fan in this video but the whole thing turned into a longer video than I anticipated so I had to move on.

The buttons are for setting screen rotation and brightness. While it would be nice to have brightness controls readily available, for most it isn't a dealbreaker.

the effort and time that goes into them is not worth the views and money out of them.

@@Mobile_Dom idk, reviews are very popular content on yt in general and get lot of views. also not everything has to be just to max out views, that is the difference between quality youtubers.

My absolutely most popular 3d printer review has paid about $400 in a year and a half. It took about 40 hours of work to produce the video (not counting the 100+ hours of print time and diag time on the machine) and I used about $300 worth of filament for that video. (Before I had a filament sponsor.) It pains me to not do them and put that information out, but it’s just a failed business model for me. I’d go bankrupt trying. Instead I just drip in my thoughts on machines in videos like this and in conversations on live streams. It’s a much more sustainable way of handling things.

@@MandicLabs interesting, thanks for the insight! A bit surprising that reviews are not performing better.

@@riba2233 views can do well, but the views dont matter when the CPM sucks and you have to put a significant amount of investment, whether time or money, into it

Yeppppp. So well timed. 😑🤣 Now I get to do it again, and better!

It’s very handy for load and unload of filament, quick offset adjustments, pre heating while doing other things in the studio, and manual movement while physically working on a machine. That and connecting to WiFi over KlipperScreen is the simplest way of doing that in Klipper. I ran my Klipper machines headless for a whole but have grown attached to the screen’s functionality.

Inland ASA and ABS is also made by Polymaker. Unsure about Inland PETG; I know a few years ago it was thought that ESun was making that for them, but that may have changed.

Problem with “white label” is it can change at any time. So I hesitate to say such things. Their ASA appears to be Polymaker (it’s even called Polylite ASA) but the rest idk. I know they change a color randomly that I used for specific product and it left me high and dry at one point.

@@murphydigital If you're at Micro Center picking up filament all you have to do is open the box and look for the pill shaped cutout on the cardboard spool. This will tell you whether it's PolyMaker (with pill cutout) or eSUN (without pill cutout). Inland used to relabel eSUN & SUNLU but during the pandemic they were having supply chain issues and Micro Center decided to source from both PolyMaker and eSUN to avoid restocking issues. So, the cheapest source for PolyMaker is Micro Center, If you don't have a Micro Center near by all Overture filament is produced by PolyMaker as well.

Just realized yesterday that I had forgotten about it. I will work on releasing it yet this week.

@@MandicLabs Legend! Thank you!

I can understand that. My recent loose Z on my 2.4 was certainly hurting everything. Chaotic Lab swears their CNC setup is pretty superior for this reason. We shall se when I get that installed.

Yup and if you want to run 9mm belts you definitely need to have rigid Z joints

Lemme guess, "Big Grease" is paying him to shill a grease gun?

Remember kids, change your grease every 50 hours or your machine will explode!!!!! Paid opinion. Yea I was paid to show a tool I've personally owned for over 15 years. That makes sense. Probably owned the tool longer than you've been alive.
