holy shit that bone pla with flex connections was crazy, multicolor prints seem impressive enough but i havent even thought about multimaterial prints for the actual design other than soluble supports.
prusa and bambu (which is just reskinned prusa) have that, but you can't do it enough to get rid of it completely. Maybe if you printed enough objects with enough infil, but generally no.
@@awilliams1701it depends on the size of the object and the infill density you also can purge into inside walls, so on prints with multiple wall loops this is possible if you use opaque filament but this does not work for different types of filament, flushing support into objects is a bad idea
As long as you have one extruder with multiple filaments, you'll have the waste. You can dial down the amount to purge, you can purge into infill, and you can limit your layer changes-- but it's still going to happen. Having said that, the Bambu "experience" is very much "unbox, connect, print", and the print quality is exceptional. There are some neat tricks on the Prusa (limited bed heat up, multi-tool), but the base printer is significantly more than the highest-priced Bambu with the 4 spool adapter.
I wanted to say how awesome this community is and so many comments are supporting Nick and Phil covering for Jay, it's so refreshing to see. This is the only PC tech channel I still watch because Jay is always up front and not afraid to stir the pot.
There's been so much innovation in the 3D maker world over the last few years and I love it. I've got the X1C and I thought there was no way that could be surpassed, but this looks like a close contender.
Haha love that first second intro. You and Phil are both starting to blossom on camera. I enjoy your natural, relaxed vibe. Definitely like a friend showing me around his new printer.
So great to see some high end 3D printing review videos. I am so used to seeing all the budget options, this is much more high end, and expected as such. Thanks!
And now a NICKZ TWO CENTS vid, this is a real treat. Get him more stuff he’s into cuz he’s doing a great job. This channel never fails me. Ever. One stranger to another: Hope you’re ok, Jay. The Ship is in capable hands until your return!
If you have MMU printer and want easy support removal, use two different materials. For example, if printing a PETG part, print supports in PLA. Because they are different materials, they will separate easier.
I did this on my bambu P1S the other day, I was shocked at how easily PETG supports just peeled off of the PLA. Highly recommended if you have a multi-material printer.
I love the newer printers that have multiple heads on them. The way I used my last one was that I had two different large nozzles(1 and 1.6) for the bulk of the print, then went to a small nozzle(.4/.8) for adding the details. Like any 3D printing, the learning curve of how far you're going to push the limits dictate how long until you're "used to how it prints" and can leave it alone.
I love seeing Nick get more comfortable on camera and hosting. Everything about him screams “he’s a good kid” and I’m grateful that jay has such a great support system. Keep em coming!
Great job guys! I'm glad Nick got in front of the camera, too! I can tell how much more comfortable he got as it went on. I wish both of you threw your 2 cents into the mix with Jay once in a while. I wish Jay the best! I hope we gets better soon!
I love seeing that Falcon Northwest sponsor spot at the beginning. I have drooled all over that site's system builder for over what seems to be 20 years. They are one of the best high end builders out there which happens to be a stones throw away from where I live makes my heart even a little warmer. Only reason I don't have one... their price reflects their commitment to quality, and I can build a much uglier system that fits in my budget.
For reference, prusa has a MMU also that does a purge tower. Also tou can use a old phone or tablet to connect to prusaconnect to monitor it but it doesnt have spaghetti detective
This has been in my cart for a while with 5 toolheads. As soon as they actually have inventory down to a week or two, I will probably pull the trigger. The multi tool had me sold.
Anything is possible. I was on the pre-order list for the XL so I had been waiting a while for it. With how big the XL is you can print things like helms or space ships without having to print multiple parts.
I like Nick's vibe and he is the background nerd guy who knows almost everything about 3D printing and 3D modeling. Phil and Nick are like Ying and Yang and they make an enjoyable content. Love you guys. Also hi there to Jayz and wish you all the best in the world, we are here for you!
A tip for when using a material to make taking support off printed objects easier whether it's a different type of common material (such as using PETG on a PLA print) or a material designed specifically to be used as support is to only used the material in the final few layers of the support before the actual object. This will save time printing because there will be no printhead swaps or filament switches, depending on the type of machine, for most of the support as it will be in the same material as the object being printed. It also might save money if the supports were going to be printed with a special material such as the water soluble filament. A third advantage of using a transition layer instead of printing all of the supports from a water soluble filament is that the amount of micro plastics added to the environment will be lessened. If one prints an object that requires a lot of support material then does it matter if the bulk of the support material is made from the same filament as long as it breaks away from the object cleanly and easily without damaging the object itself? Of course there may be times, such as when supports are needed in difficult to reach areas, in which using the support filament for the full amount of the support is a better choice. Perhaps even alternating a number of layers of the support material made from a common filament with the filament the object is made from, with a transition layer of the support material being an interface to the object, would allow the support in a tight area to be freed and broken into smaller pieces to be removed from the object.
ALL of Prusa's printers are expensive compared to other brands... but they offer a high level of support they offer for the life of their printers. (I believe 24/7 chat support)
@@wanderingidj0t543 Not to mention higher levels of build quality, and long term support in terms of spare parts. Considering they have have parts in stock for the mk2, from back in 2016 to repair it, as well as upgrade parts to bring it to a more recent design, I can trust them to sell me a printer I can keep going in the long run. Especially since I know they use those exact same printers internally to produce their printers, meaning they do get extensive and long wear performance and wear characteristics on them before they ever ship them to consumers. So the cost on prusas is something you have to ask if it makes sense for you, over the course of a decade. If you believe it will still meet your needs over that time, or that you can resell it to recoup whatever value you can maintain it with when it no longer meets your needs, I feel they're nearly ideal. If all you need is as much printer today for as little money as possible, prusa isn't the company for you.
Large prints that do have detail can benefit to. Having a 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 for example makes it so you can have detail where needed but speed where the detail isn't needed. Or just not having to swap nozzles is always nice.
I don't think PS has the ability to do multi nozzle yet. I suspect they will, but I think it's all on one size for now. The printer itself could do it, but PS considers nozzle sizes as a different printer. Which is annoying as hell. I have to have a mk4 0.4, a mk4 0.4 IS, a mk4 0.25, and a mk4 0.25 IS. IS should be a checkbox and nozzle size should be an option in a pulldown.
Input shaper not only allows you to print faster. It will print much cleaner aswell.that printer is decent but you should do a follow up video once the printer is properly tuned and u completely understand how to use the multi material printing.
Hey guys - make sure you use thread locker on those 3mm bolts that hold the docks in place. Many customers have had these coming loose over time, including me.
This was content im not used to seeing on this channel and im all for it. No idea or experience with 3d printers but that thing looks and sounds amazing.
Input Shaping takes into account the resonance and motion of the print head, and applies corrections to eliminate ghosting and ringing, the artifacts that high speed printing typically produces. It's not so much "removing safeties" as it is "reducing artifacts". Now-- the down side, as I understand it, is that the Prusa XL doesn't have built-in accelerometers, so it can't do realtime calibration, and depends on calibration from the factory. But it's still a really nice feature that has given modern 3D printing a kick in the pants.
Being able to print TPU into PLA for flexible connections is really appealing. Those of us that already bought a Bambu Lab X1C are definitely feeling a bit jealous right now, because filament poop is the worst.
Thank you for the video, still waiting on mine. There was a misunderstanding: You really dont want to heat the heatbreak or the zones above. Thats why its there in the first place. It is a really thin tube which reduces the heatflow over it so it wont get hot above (in combination with the heatsink). This limits the meltzone and therefore also limits where the filament gets soft and sticky. If it got hot above the heatbreak then you are having lots of issues with clogging. Anyone that has printed PLA in a hot enviroment (in an enclosure) can attest to that. So the sensor is really just there to monitore the temperature of the heatbreak and if it is doing its job.
I'd definitely have uses for multi-material printing. The water soluble supports would be a game changer for sure. Also a printer with a bed this large could definitely be useful for projects I've had in mind.
If you don't need the multi color/material you could get the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, the bed is 420x420x480 mm and it actually does around 400 mm/s and pretty good detail.
I have always wanted to dabble into 3d printing. This unit is for those who, as you said are committed / have the need for such a unit. I'm sold, if i had the money 110% would buy something like this. All the different parts i could make, little dumb things etc. This is the future.
I really enjoy seeing you and Phil branching out and talking in front of the camera, especially when it's something you're so passionate about. You have a little bit of nervousness in the beginning, but it's clear that this is something you know a lot about, and the confidence comes through once you find your groove. I really want to see your drone mods and the fun things you print on this. And I N E E D more mechanical keyboard content - I have a Ducky 1-2 that I love, and I want to branch out and build a more exotic custom kit. I'd rather get that info from people I already trust. 👍
All I've ever wanted was a printer that could handle B/W + RGB. I'm curious to see if you can produce more colors by mixing/switching layers that way. Alternate 0.2mm layers of red and blue to make purple? This is awesome ...now if I could just afford one. Great video, Nick
Is there an option for an enclosure or heated enclosure? I like that they offer different levels for what ppl may need, but cant have an open 3d printer due to dust and possible pets.
they don't offer that. for this you would need to build it yourself or consider a commercial grade printer. that thing is massive and costs a good amount but it is still a far cry from real professional grade printers and still more a hobby grade thing. also, an enclosure in this dimension is probably a niche product not worth offering at this point in time
5 nozzle is not quite within my budget, but I would totally consider a 2-3 nozzle version to begin with I do a reasonable amount of printing. But my ender 3 is a bit on the smol side for some of the larger parts I want to print off.
Hey guys, cool to see you doing more 3D printing content. Ive mess with them for years and have a pretty good 3D printing business on Etsy. I still have my original Anet A8 which is fully customized over top to bottom, 3 Ender 3 V2's and the Bambu X1 Carbon which is a masterpiece. Hope to see more of this content on the channel. Best regards and hoping Jay is doing okay from one PC / 3D printing nerd to another!
Prusa is the king of 3d printers and the best in the consumer industry. CCP companies like bambu lab and creality can only dream to be as reliable. Bambu lab is so bad that they now have a complete recall on their A1 printer due to potential fire hazards.
Man, this is one fantastic printer! With the XL bed size and 5 extruders, there isn't too many things you can't do. Full masks, SFX appliances or moulds for same, terrain pieces for most miniatures games, accessories for the children's toys, drone replacement parts, quick prototyping of orthotic and orthopedic devices, prosthetics, computer customizations, automotive parts, tools, I can go on for days!! The slicer being able to clip almost 2 hours of a 7 hour print is fantastic. Now to put together the cash, lol. Thanks Nick for an enthusiasts review. Keep up the good work, and keep Jay honest and humble 😉
you can use the slicer on any 3d printer. 5 toolheads dont change the speed if you dont print multi material or multi color. for miniature game figures you should rather go for sla since it is far more detailed. for everything mechanic i would go with abs or pc which will be a pain on this printer.
This is a great video. Nick did a good job on his review and explaining of things about this 3d printer. I really enjoy Nick and Phil in front of the cam like they have been, they do a great job.
Excellent review! Really enjoy the down to earth and very authentic style! Even though i don't know you, i feel like you are being yourself! No put on youtuber voice and stuff!! Hope to see more videos from Nick! And bring on more 3D print stuff!!!!
Great video Nick... Its very detailed, but also very intimidating when going into this with no experience of it... Great info on the pro and cons on setting it up and the first work with it... Hope Jay is getting better...
Don't think it would use all 5 materials but at least a couple for inner support cores that can more or flex for lifecasting. If that hand was complete it could be used as a core for a lifecasting hand that could flex. With a skilled life caster they could make all the layers and use it as surgical and dissection props. Full blown injuries like broken bones sticking out that could flex could look amazing.
This is crazy,I've literally just started getting into 3D Printing with my first ever Creality S1 Pro and i love that but wow,that machine with 5 print heads looks super complex,Would love to see a lot more 3D printing stuff on the channel :)
Wont the 4 extruders not in use have to be kept warm, and so have a higher " idle " power usage. Power which in Denmark are NOT dirt cheap VS other countries.
I love my printer which is a heavily modded ender 3 but like PCs I'll upgrade parts If I really want a new/ more efficient feature. Really cool to see more people using this tech. I finally bought a 3D printer because of COVID and I wasn't sure if it was going to be essential for the long term lol, but I don't have any regrets!
The things I would make with this... I haven't gotten into 3D printing yet because of technical limitations. This is a game changer. But I'm far from any budget to even get my first 3D printer.
Personally, I think the solution offered by the Bambu Lab P1S is more elegant than adding extra expenses and operational costs associated with having multiple print heads. Rather than adding more extruders, Prusa and other companies should be working towards making the purged filament useful as structure or infill instead of trying to reinvent the square wheel. And you can get a P1S with a single AMS unit for less than this one. There's also the ability of daisy chaining multiple AMS units up to 4 for a total of 16 colors you can print. And the AMS also keeps your filaments dry.
Watching your review of 5 Tool XL while listening to my 5 Tool XL chugging away in the background... Best I've managed in one print so far is three colours of PLA using two different nozzle sizes along with PETG supports.
Very good job, Nick! There's a huge difference between being part of a video and actually hosting it. I thought you'd inexperienced but showed an impressive confidence. Nice video, as always. I've been interested in 3D printing for some time and I'll go for something more simple and see how it goes as you suggested.
Yes there are several computer cases you can 3d print. (Do it!) But also with the large size printer - Helmets, Cosplay armor, stuff for custom mounting monitors or other hardware on desk; crazy DIY keyboard frames (Dactyl); Large panels with all the holes & greebling for custom Jay case; etc.
I’ve been waiting for this printer forever! Really awesome you guys got to review it, especially since I’m normally here for the PC components reviews and janky stuff Jay does.
I was excited for this printer, but so far the user feedback hasn't been good. Wonder if you'll end up with issues like many of the other multi-head Prusa XL owners. Issue is that the heads won't be mounted properly when swapping heads, not the best design. Most MMU in design are using multiple hot ends all in one head, thus removing the need to change heads, it just changes which hot end and nozzle that it is coming out of, which so far seems like a better design. Bed leveling and first layer hasn't been an issue for years for higher end units, such as Prusa or Bambu. This was just the penalty for buying low cost printers.
I bit off more than I could chew with my first printer, an off brand (BIBO x2 Laser) dual extruding machine. It nearly turned me off of 3D printing. At the time, the selling point for me was water-soluble filaments so you could wash away support material like a Brethran in a river...are those not a thing anymore?
not really since slicers (especialy prusa slicer) can generate you really really good support structures. alot has changed in the last 5-6 years regarding that. printers are also far more advanced so creating the perfect gap between support and object is not as complicated as it was.
5 material printer is pretty damn cool. Definitely neat to see solids and flex held up by water soluble filament
holy shit that bone pla with flex connections was crazy, multicolor prints seem impressive enough but i havent even thought about multimaterial prints for the actual design other than soluble supports.

All I've ever wanted was a printer that could handle B/W + RGB.
I'm curious to see if you can produce more colors by mixing/switching layers that way. Alternate 0.2mm layers of red and blue to make purple?
This is awesome ...now if I could just afford one.
Great video, Nick
I love this, go Nick!
Awesome job Nick, I’d love to see you do more 3d printing content
I can see a custom 3D Printed JTC Custom Computer Case in the near future lol
i would print a small factor casse... it would be cool to design my own chassi with that large print area
Is there an option for an enclosure or heated enclosure? I like that they offer different levels for what ppl may need, but cant have an open 3d printer due to dust and possible pets.
they don't offer that. for this you would need to build it yourself or consider a commercial grade printer. that thing is massive and costs a good amount but it is still a far cry from real professional grade printers and still more a hobby grade thing. also, an enclosure in this dimension is probably a niche product not worth offering at this point in time
Enjoying the content.. Keep it up everyone.
Hope J is doing good as well! :)
5 nozzle is not quite within my budget, but I would totally consider a 2-3 nozzle version to begin with I do a reasonable amount of printing. But my ender 3 is a bit on the smol side for some of the larger parts I want to print off.
Is that a pen holder from Starfield?
Hey guys, cool to see you doing more 3D printing content. Ive mess with them for years and have a pretty good 3D printing business on Etsy. I still have my original Anet A8 which is fully customized over top to bottom, 3 Ender 3 V2's and the Bambu X1 Carbon which is a masterpiece. Hope to see more of this content on the channel. Best regards and hoping Jay is doing okay from one PC / 3D printing nerd to another!
Really cool to see how the XL works.
Prusa is the king of 3d printers and the best in the consumer industry. CCP companies like bambu lab and creality can only dream to be as reliable. Bambu lab is so bad that they now have a complete recall on their A1 printer due to potential fire hazards.
Waiting for my unit too, can't wait to start printing.
Damn Nick you're lucky you got Jay as a boss lol not many people would spend 5k on a 3d printer but TAX WRITE OFF!
Id rather build a voron 350 or 400 and do a ercf with 9 filaments at this point the tool head changer is sick because no colour waste.
Man, this is one fantastic printer! With the XL bed size and 5 extruders, there isn't too many things you can't do. Full masks, SFX appliances or moulds for same, terrain pieces for most miniatures games, accessories for the children's toys, drone replacement parts, quick prototyping of orthotic and orthopedic devices, prosthetics, computer customizations, automotive parts, tools, I can go on for days!! The slicer being able to clip almost 2 hours of a 7 hour print is fantastic. Now to put together the cash, lol. Thanks Nick for an enthusiasts review. Keep up the good work, and keep Jay honest and humble 😉
you can use the slicer on any 3d printer. 5 toolheads dont change the speed if you dont print multi material or multi color. for miniature game figures you should rather go for sla since it is far more detailed. for everything mechanic i would go with abs or pc which will be a pain on this printer.
My only complaint is no direct drive extruders for more brittle filament, aside from that this thing is a sexy beast in my eyes.
This is a great video. Nick did a good job on his review and explaining of things about this 3d printer. I really enjoy Nick and Phil in front of the cam like they have been, they do a great job.
awesome!!!! love the honestly and im loving where the channel is going personally
Excellent review! Really enjoy the down to earth and very authentic style! Even though i don't know you, i feel like you are being yourself! No put on youtuber voice and stuff!! Hope to see more videos from Nick! And bring on more 3D print stuff!!!!
Great video Nick... Its very detailed, but also very intimidating when going into this with no experience of it... Great info on the pro and cons on setting it up and the first work with it... Hope Jay is getting better...
Don't think it would use all 5 materials but at least a couple for inner support cores that can more or flex for lifecasting. If that hand was complete it could be used as a core for a lifecasting hand that could flex. With a skilled life caster they could make all the layers and use it as surgical and dissection props. Full blown injuries like broken bones sticking out that could flex could look amazing.
Honestly, that one sweet printer! Probably the coolest printer I've seen so far!
This is crazy,I've literally just started getting into 3D Printing with my first ever Creality S1 Pro and i love that but wow,that machine with 5 print heads looks super complex,Would love to see a lot more 3D printing stuff on the channel :)
Wont the 4 extruders not in use have to be kept warm, and so have a higher " idle " power usage.
Power which in Denmark are NOT dirt cheap VS other countries.
I love my printer which is a heavily modded ender 3 but like PCs I'll upgrade parts If I really want a new/ more efficient feature. Really cool to see more people using this tech. I finally bought a 3D printer because of COVID and I wasn't sure if it was going to be essential for the long term lol, but I don't have any regrets!
Man I'd love to see more 3d printing reviews/videos like this, as a fellow 3d printer enjoyer myself
Great presentation! I just wish I had the space for something this wild!
Sounds like you have had a good experience with the XL. Thanks for the thoughts!
so will you buy this printer or apple vision pro?
The things I would make with this... I haven't gotten into 3D printing yet because of technical limitations. This is a game changer. But I'm far from any budget to even get my first 3D printer.
Oh shit! PCs to PC Peripheral. I like where this channel is going
Would love to get this printer but it's just a bit outside the price point at this time. Excited on the future use the team will use this.
Personally, I think the solution offered by the Bambu Lab P1S is more elegant than adding extra expenses and operational costs associated with having multiple print heads. Rather than adding more extruders, Prusa and other companies should be working towards making the purged filament useful as structure or infill instead of trying to reinvent the square wheel. And you can get a P1S with a single AMS unit for less than this one. There's also the ability of daisy chaining multiple AMS units up to 4 for a total of 16 colors you can print. And the AMS also keeps your filaments dry.
I love this. J has built his confidence. This is a great
Watching your review of 5 Tool XL while listening to my 5 Tool XL chugging away in the background...
Best I've managed in one print so far is three colours of PLA using two different nozzle sizes along with PETG supports.
Nice bit of kit that 3D printer. I still have the Ender3 pro , it does what i need though and still runs well after all these years
Very good job, Nick! There's a huge difference between being part of a video and actually hosting it. I thought you'd inexperienced but showed an impressive confidence. Nice video, as always. I've been interested in 3D printing for some time and I'll go for something more simple and see how it goes as you suggested.
I'm just curious as to your thoughts on resin bed printers?
Nice job!
You need to print Estes model rocket motor mounts for your paper airplane!
Yes there are several computer cases you can 3d print. (Do it!)
But also with the large size printer - Helmets, Cosplay armor, stuff for custom mounting monitors or other hardware on desk; crazy DIY keyboard frames (Dactyl); Large panels with all the holes & greebling for custom Jay case; etc.
Nick is like a little kid with his brand new toy he wanted for chrtistmas... Love it!
I’ve been waiting for this printer forever! Really awesome you guys got to review it, especially since I’m normally here for the PC components reviews and janky stuff Jay does.
I was excited for this printer, but so far the user feedback hasn't been good.
Wonder if you'll end up with issues like many of the other multi-head Prusa XL owners. Issue is that the heads won't be mounted properly when swapping heads, not the best design.
Most MMU in design are using multiple hot ends all in one head, thus removing the need to change heads, it just changes which hot end and nozzle that it is coming out of, which so far seems like a better design.
Bed leveling and first layer hasn't been an issue for years for higher end units, such as Prusa or Bambu. This was just the penalty for buying low cost printers.
Nice job guys! Phil and yourself are doing a great job filling in for Jay
Just getting into 3d printing now - Cant wait
Is use it to print lithophanes with wood frames.
Got 3 mk4s… thinking about it, but it also takes up a lot of space!
That bone with the flexible ligaments is insane! More 3D Printing videos :)
gratz on 4 million, Jay!!!!!!!! :-D -Don in Colorado
Can you compare this one to the bambulab P1s?
No comparison. The Prusa XL is better in every way.
I bit off more than I could chew with my first printer, an off brand (BIBO x2 Laser) dual extruding machine. It nearly turned me off of 3D printing. At the time, the selling point for me was water-soluble filaments so you could wash away support material like a Brethran in a river...are those not a thing anymore?
not really since slicers (especialy prusa slicer) can generate you really really good support structures. alot has changed in the last 5-6 years regarding that.
printers are also far more advanced so creating the perfect gap between support and object is not as complicated as it was.
nick and phill are killing I wish jay the best
