I ordered mine on 2/2/23, UPS says I get it on 2/9/23 -- one week.
Apparently I was misinformed. Thank you for the correction. Perhaps the 3 week delay only applies to the P1P.
Same. I ordered mine 2/6 and it shipped today 2/9, should be here on the 14th.
If you order without the AMS it’s a different story. They have those listed as preorders with a 2 week lead time.
Similar for me. Ordered 2/2 to be delivered 2/10.
well I ordered mine 15.12.2022 and got it 6.02.2023 for fuck sake xD
@@DesignPrototypeTest I ordered a P1P at the end of January and it arrived 5 days later
1:01:26 That green component with the two copper windings is not a transformer. It is a "common-mode choke" which is used to filter noise from the printer electronics from going back down the power cord and "transmitting" through your house. It is yet another sign of a high-quality design and implementation.
That the choke exists isn't a sign of high quality design, and especially of high quality implementation. That would be determined by the actual performance. Limiting conducted emissions is a legal requirement to sell a product in most countries.
That's not to say it's a bad design. It may well be great. I love my X1C dearly.
SO MUCH supposed "hardcore engineering analysis" of products like this on the internet does this though, and it's getting tiresome. WOW they have *legally mandated component!* It's amazing space age design! GOSH even NASA can't design anything this well! How well does it work? I have no idea haha, but look at it!
Would be good to get a real engineer with actual experience to give their hottakes once in a while. And even they do it.
@@Rokmononov I think noise filtering may be critical for some sensing
I have never watched a review where the reviewer make cogent credible argument for both sides of each design choice. Masterful
Well, I've never been praised for such a thing before. This comment says as much about me as it does about you. Have a great day!
FYI... you can save to an SD-Card from the slicer... With the latest software update you can also save files to the SD-Card while in the printer. There is also a local network functionality.
Came here to say this, you now have three options. Print goes through the cloud as before, Send goes through the cloud and is saved to the SD, Export is saved as a 3mf file to a local device without going through the cloud. Click the arrow next to print plate to see these options.
mine will not save to sd card while In printer I can send 1 file there but if send second one deletes first and after print it's gone also
@@jamesharris9894 Save your project, so you will get a filename to save! Though there ist a dialog to change the filename in the send procedure it's not used (mybe a bug), the project name is used as filename.
Hell ya, i was really hoping they would implement LAN connection. That's awesome!
I just ordered my x1c combo yesterday. im too excited.
lan breaks connection to bambu studio and app. so pretty useless until we can get a cura plugin for it.
New to the 3D printing. Not really wanting a new hobby, or at least not wanting to be an enthusiast tweaking every setting and modding my printer. I want the tool to print things I need around the house for which there are no off the shelf solutions that are a true fit. This is one of the most objective and informative reviews I've seen of this printer and really helps set my expectations for this tool. Thank you so much for putting so much time and attention into this video!
Im in the exact same boat as you are! I tried to go the starter printer route with a creality ender 3 and I ended spending more time fixing and adjusting the machine than I did using it. It ended up sitting there doing nothing for months on end. Im purchasing this printer soon and I hope you have a flawless time with it as well.
This is a great video.
Rarely do I see such a solid review from a mechanical design, manufacturing and engineering perspective.
We need more high guality content like this on youtube, not just some "copy-paste" type unboxing video.
By the way, glad to see someone talking about concerns about Chinese tech companies, its not politics but information security, everyone should pay more attention to it.
I recently purchased the new lower priced $600 Bambu P1P and it arrived in two days. I'm absolutely blown away by it and it's not even the flagship model. Never again, and I mean NEVER can I go back to super low budget printers. The P1P itself is the budget version for Bambu and even then, it blows away anything priced under it and yes, in my opinion, it's better than the Prusa MK3 and MK4. It's pre-built and you'll set it up and print a benchy with 40 minutes of unboxing it. I enjoy 3D printing again❤❤❤
These videos right here are why I follow you man. Absolutely phenomenal review and deep dive.
Thanks for another super detailed look and thoughtful commmentary. It's nice to be able to get this close without actually buying one.
I'm really glad you made a deep dive in to this printer. I've watched loads of reviews of the dev kits but most just talk about the features and print benchies, where as you critically review the mechanical design and components and give honest feedback. It's sad that the majority of 3D printing channels end up being super positive, gloss over the negatives and then give sales pitches, whereas you point out the negatives as well which are what owners really want to know and need to be aware of
Thank you for the kind comment. It feels good to be recognized. I appreciate you too.
@@DesignPrototypeTest Great detailed on-point review! Also, your comments and opinions are valuable and valued.
The power supply board you asked about is almost certainly a SEPIC design, very nice actually.
Thanks for your efforts and outspoken-ness!
sELF LUBRICATING BUSHINGS ARE LIKE THAT ARE USED IN INJECTION MOLDING ALL THE TIME
Agreed!
Some minor updates on the issues you shared in this video:
- You can now use a LAN-only mode if you don't want to use the cloud.
- You can now enable a 'print cache' option that will automatically save any print you send to the printer wirelessly and have it store them on the SD card for repeat prints, which shows up as a 3rd tab on the model selection screen.
- 50:34 While discussing the airflow over the mainboard you seemed to have missed the dedicated fan that is visible to the right of it, which draws in fresh air from the side panel.
- Some more power-user settings, such as manually setting flow rates and K values for a given filament, have been added to Bambu studio in software updates.
Bambu also now sells their own adhesive liquid from their store, $16.99 for 60ml so still not cheap, but comes with a nice applicator so you generally only use a very, very small amount, no spray bottle.
You have to connect to the cloud at some point to update firmware. With the amount of fixes and enhancements they've made since release, this is essential, and using LAN only mode forever is not a real option
Great video! Few things come to mind.
12:50 Lidar implementation is nothing new to 3d printing or CNC, i use one from Keyence to check weld on the fly on welding machine. The problem is cost vs functionality, It can be useful but it does not add much to print quality, thats why i think nobody would implement them in 3D printer. Dji drones usually use proximity sensors and camera vision not Lidar.
16:55 The 3 lead screw cost is not only 5$ for stepper motor, it add complexity to motherboard and some to firmware, add extra stepper motor driver for like 5$ each, wires and connectors, plus mounting motor on each lead screw without timing belt would add much height to printer (motor height plus clutch).
19:40 Adding stepper motors to front would not only bump the front but also sides to wrap frame around motors. Belt path on sides is pretty close to frame and motor would not fit easily i think. Adding the extra pulleys not only wrap belt around motor shaft but motors can be moved inside frame. pretty smart solution i think.
I have mixed feeling about this machine. Hardware is excellent. The cloud or bambu login, slicer.. and closed firmware that can send whatever data to cloud, no active heating chamber even the printer is fully closed is not that great.
What 3D printer would you recommend then? I agree with you, i have a Dji drone as well and it uses sensors as well, but i haven’t found any other printers that have this capability, unless i haven’t looked hard enough, are you comparing this printer to another printer, if so what, i’m looking for another 3d printer after having bad luck with creality printers.
Just got the P1P. Fantastic review. I didn't think that "filter" would do much. I'm using a HEPA filter and 5 pounds are activated carbon VENTED to the outside when I print ABS. VOC's sink so I have the fan on the bottom of the my enclosure.
This is a very nice video. I'm really happy you're back to this format.
At 34:50 you see three green checkmarks, you can unklick them and the printer will skip the step you dont want, like in Bambu Studio. 40:00 If you select 'Send' instead of 'print plate' the file will be send to the SD card that is in the printer. Then you can print it from there.
Dude omg thank you! I didn't know you can save it to the SDcard that way!
By far the deepest review I've ever seen about this Bambulab printer. I've seen some insights I was not aware before. Thanks for the good job
You can send the g-code from Bambu slicer to the SD card or even through LAN mode
Don't have to use their cloud to use the printer
Credit where credit is due, the first implementation for a single nozzle multi color/material printer with a toolhead filament cutter, is from the SMuFF project. It truly is the best method for adding reliability to filament switching type multi color/material printing. Love the breakdown. Keep up the good work man.
I was wondering about this! I even asked on Twitter if anyone knew of prior art for that functionality. Do you have a link? I just want looking on Google and couldn't find anything.
Soo, turns out that you can't add links to comments. If you type in "the smuff google sites" into a browser, it should be the first link that comes up.
Here's a link to a video from the creator of the smuff. If it works the link to the site is in the bottom of the description, th-cam.com/video/9xR9MkAh_Ww/w-d-xo.html
FANTASTIC! Thank you! Sorry about the link restriction. I forgot about that.
Thank you for going so deeply into the build components and engineering!
The addition of two additional z stepper motors would also mean perfect synchronization and the potential for error. Also, the whole cabinet would have to be taller to accommodate the motors to be installed and concealed under the build space. The existing stepper motor is located behind the rear internal wall above the bottom of the internal floor.
All three separate motors could be located similarly with individual belts going to the individual lead screws.
Good to see you tear this down...excellent description of the internal workings... A lot of the software concerns have been addressed...IE the connection to the printer without using the cloud
That offset cooling style I first saw a year or so ago by Pro3D's video: "fan duct design optimizing by CFD | 3D printer toolhead design | the Triquetra"
He had that offset/non-symentrical design pretty similar in concept, though different implementation.
Really cool video looking at that. :)
Great Sandy Munro energy in this super in-depth analysis of the engineering behind the X1C. Thanks a lot!
Excellent analysis! Thank you very much for explaining this new printer so well.
I ordered Bambu X1 Carbon last Monday, got it last Friday - they truly beat all the records - I live in Hawaii and delivery is always quite a tricky thing... Love it so far, printed lots of useful things.
Great video with some minor errors but I think others have addressed it.
This has been one of the most in depth videos I have seen so "geek up" the great work.
I have been printing on the X1CC since Aug of 2022 and getting close to 2k hours and this printer is by far the best printer I have used.
Ender 3- retired
Prusa mk3s+ -$$$ Regrets and retired
Ankermake m5(still sitting in sealed box since Dec 2022)
X1CC- my go too.
While the two printers I had previously (a Sidewinder X1 and a CR10-version) are a lot lower priced than the X1CC obviously is.. I'm not looking back at all. Never printed as much as I have with the X1CC
The M5 is worth cracking open for single color prints.
I dig you and your bluntness, do not stop.
Thanks for such a great review, I don't think I have ever said "I want one" and "maybe I don't" so many times in one review 🤣. I appreciate the honesty and detailed breakdown of the printer. It also helps to be able to see it from the perspective of someone I know has experienced other printers. I still like my prusa 😆 but generally agree with your take on things so that helps me know if I'm going to like something or not based on your review.
Really glad to see this video pop up... Finally an honest, in depth review and analysis. I've been blown away since early December with mine and while acknowledging some downsides it's still the best innovation by a mile
I'm super impressed with mine. Thanks for the teardown pictures. I hadn't seen any good shots of the piezo sensors in the bed yet, or the x-axis bushings.
Best review of this printer I saw on YT! You touched a lot of issues the paid zombie reviewers did not! Keep up the good work!
This is the best test I've seen so far. My greatest respect for that. Nicely explained, a deeper look into the machine and very factual. Many complaints about the printer come from the fact that it's not that easy to repair. And I think that's where the problem lies. This printer is for the end customer market and end customers do not want to repair anything themselves, they want it to work. And based on that and what I've seen so far, Bambulabs has done a good job.
Well made content thank you for the efforts and thank you for being brave and unbiased 👍🏻
Thats the type of video I like to see. Thanks.
Thanks for these interesting inputs and just taking us along real experiences!
bro, a prusa fan said they wish my house would burn down after i posted a joke about prusa xl clones.You're the goat keep the content up
They are insane, aren't they? Who could have ever imagined that what is essentially a DIY robotics company would have soccer hooligans supporting it. There's no logic with them. They just want to be part of a winning team. They say a bunch of words that sound logical but they're a cheat. They've already come to the conclusion that Prusa is a winner. So when they talk about the technical issues they aren't looking for truth. They are just trying to make Prusa win. They will fight against all evidence to the contrary. No matter how truthful.
@Design Prototype Test it's like video game console fan fanboyism only worse.
Lmao
finally got around to watching, enjoyed very much! you did such an excellent job thank you for another great critical review. except this was even better. especially grateful as you are really the only person out there who does justice to this process and gives such an honest and fair review
You can send prints to the SD card, there’s the option in the drop down in the upper right hand corner
Just got mine. I did the combo. Wow is all I can say. The LiDAR is insane.
Incredibly done detailed analysis of the bamboo carbon! I enjoyed hearing your theories and ideas about open source. Especially having a controlled higher temperature enclosure.
Well done. One of my favorite videos. Owning one of these the biggest changes I hope they iterate: 1) Cut the startup time when you are doing back to back prints (the 8 minutes of overhead even when you uncheck the options kills me). 2) Seal off the electronics from the bed and put a heater inside, 110 degree chamber would be very nice for no ABS warp. 3) The door, it is an accident waiting to happen. You managed to pick up these same points. Fun watching someone else take the risk of partially dismantling it.
Brilliant!! Thank you for putting this together!!
Wow ! what a brilliant take on the Bambu Lab x1 carbon. 10/10 on this video, you left no stone unturned.
Many thanks for this high quality content. Super interesting!
Regarding heat damage to the principal control circuit, (at 50.40) I think the idea is to draw ambient/cool external air into the enclosure - past the circuit, by creating negative pressure - via an exhaust fan. The perf's on the case back may also suggest this approach. If this is the case, by adding a temp. sensor in the control area you may experiment with more insulation? - Thank you for your thorough review! Very good!
As a software developer I am loving your commentary on what is open source vs what is co-opted from open source, and what you have to make a cloud account for. I doubt that everyone else understands or cares about what it is that you are saying here, but they should,
Now this is just great.. Way to go Matt.
such a great video very informative with a bit of comedy. :)
Great job! I'm positively jelly
Great review! I always enjoy your critical rundowns of these machines and it's even better when you cover one that's already well engineered. It makes the flaws and potential improvements even more interesting.
Great review and teardown.
It is interesting that they went with sliding bronze (brass?) bushings. Seen only self lubricating ones in a "spinning" type of application, replacing bearings.
I've had mine for a week. It is amazing. No tinkering, just printing. FAST. BTW, you have to remove the plastic film from the AMS feet. It will not slip with rubber on glass. Also, you can save sliced and painted models by exporting from Bambu Lab Studio.
Hey DPT one thing going around for the ABS is that to keep chamber temperatures up for ABS the chamber vent fan that pulls through the filter is completely off. That let's air seep out of all the unfiltered cracks and crevices instead of getting pulled through the filter. I have heard that you can turn on the chamber fan at a low speed to improve filtration but I don't know if anybody has really tested the dofference
awsome review with a lot of intresting pros and cons + improvement ideas!
Just bought mine. Glad I found your video. Great work in everything you do.
As much as I’ve been annoyed by some of the content on your channel, this is what I stayed subscribed for. Bar none, the best review of this printer I’ve ever seen. The insights you have shared, and the depths that you’ve reached, are exactly what I’d like to see in a review. Thank you.
I was thinking the same thing and wondering if there were any comments about it. "Glass is half full" is definitely the method of presentation here and the first time I've seen someone spend over an hour doing it. I found myself being agitated by that and I had to watch the video over the course of a few days to keep myself from feeling like I was listening to my mother-in-law talk about the world. However, I couldn't help but appreciate the level of detail and knowledge the presenter has about this printer. I learned quite a lot of things I did not in any other review. I can't believe I'm saying this but I will probably hit that like and subscribe button for future content.
He overthinks things. It’s as though he’s looking for things to criticize as well as praise. The 50c temp where the electronics is, is an example. 50c is a pretty much standard temp for electronics and shouldn’t prove a problem.
amazing deep dive, love the video
This is the kind of video I want to see on this channel. Well done!
The gap between belts is due to unique solution. there is no X and Y movements. Instead upper belt moves the head 45° like in infill movement, and the second belt moves the head in another 45°. So most of the time you are printing diagonnaly infill, so only one motor is doing hard job, the second is just adding small steps. In next layer -45 diagonnally, the most work is doing the second motor and the first one just adding small steps.
I ordered my A1 today. Will be my first printer, finally. Looking forward to use it :)
That was an emi inductor where there was mains going into the board. I could send you pictures of them. They're used for common mode rejection and safety as you can see along with the 3 class y rated capacitors.
Great review! I hope the next version puts more emphasis on repairability.
And it sure seems that they should have forget about the fan + air filter and use 3 stepper motors for the z-axis instead for the same money.
Your best content for some time, well done.
Not sure if anyone suggested it yet but if you add filament start gcode for ABS specifically to turn on the chamber fan to 30%, it reduces the ABS odor to almost none. Chage the filament stop gcode set to turn off the fan as well.
Long video with a lot of speculation rather than answers. Why not get Bambu Lab engineer on your channel to explain. I think you ate clearly missing some key engineering design principles and mentioning changes that are not needed like complicating the bed design on a printer that does perfect first layers always. To do what you suggest with “simply” more steppers doesn’t consider the frame design and space to accommodate let alone additional wiring and main board changes. All in all, without the detail of why they chose the options they did, the speculation is not helpful. I watched half and then the value was lost, sorry, hope this helps your thinking on delivering in future…
I concur, it came off very arrogant in intention while seeming very ignorant in knowledge. Like you just wanted to show off.
I agree, quite a bit of misinformation as well. I got about 40 mins into the video and had enough.
did they skimp on wire quality ? 1st thing i did on my creality's was swap out the pvc hi current 24v jacket wire to silicone jacket
As a happy owner of this printer I love the information included in this video
so what happens if the power goes off in the middle of your printing, will it resume the process once it comes back on?
Yes it does.
I have P1P... and I'm really happy with my choice. Is really easy to use and do the job fast and nice
At 1:01:44 that "transformer" looks like possibly a common mode choke. It's wound like a transformer, but it goes into the circuit "sideways". This is for noise and RFI filtering.
You covered a lot of stuff. I enjoyed watching this.
iam super Hyped! ordered mine 2/25/23 i dont kidding if i say i researched this printer for 40 hours before hitting the order button.
The masterclass as always was your vid, i always always learn some thing new when i watch your vids. I own one of these and 2 p1p's.
I just got my X1C yesterday its a game changer.. I'm so impressed.. if Apple made this printer it would be unaffordable and unreliable.
No, it might be more expensive, but it would be better and even more innovative with much better and higher featured software with APIs for third party software developers and a better warrantee.
@@melgross
Apple products are overpriced and poorly engineered.
@@boggisthecat good for you. Nobody cares what you buy.
@@melgross
You appear to care.
Stuck using a Samsung are we?
This review is crazy! Just wow!
Thank you.
About cloud printing: That’s not mandatory, the current version of the slicer (and I think the one prior) have a LAN-only mode. I haven’t used it, so don’t know if you lose any functionality in the process, but you definitely aren’t forced to use the Chinese-operated cloud if you don’t want to 👍😁
Also, there is a “Load” button for filament, at least if you’re using the AMS. I don’t know if it purges the previous filament or not, but it always poops out some filament at the start of each print anyway.
thank you for a very informative channel.
After your review of the Sapphire S I purchased one and was very happy with it also upgraded it with a Duet and engineered a hotend mount for it, but thinkering fatigue and this review made me step to this printer. Thanks for your insight and same enthusiasm as with the Sapphire S 😂😂😂 keep up your expert profession.
Great analysis! Thank you! Keep this series going. I was a little disappointed that you did not dismantle the bed further. You promised a destructive disassembly 😊. Seeing Nylon warping was priceless. Nothing can resist shrink forces. I had several glass and carbon fiber beds destroyed.
I took the bed apart. It’s nice, it has thermostat switch to cut off power at 160C as a safety mechanism. And 3 force sensors, 1 in each lead screw joint
Brilliant review. I bought mine for AU$2,250.00 as I am in Australia, and I am yet to unbox it. It arrived in 3 days and came with the AMS inside. I am moving house soon, so loathe to unbox it until then. The quality looks amazing, and I am so excited.
Thanks for the great in depth video!
You are certainly welcome. Have a wonderful day!
You are so right about the door. One of the very first things I did with my brand new X-1 Carbon...was almost f**k the door up trying to set it up lol.
I like that single Z motor. So much simpler and everything synced on all lead screws. No need for a 3 motors and more complexity. Its actually well designed and thought here. :)
You are correct. It's the K.I.S.S. principle. Added functionality could justify the increased complexity. If slicers were able to use bed tilts in non-planner printing that could justify the added stepper motors. But this is all fantasy. For the current state of affairs, one motor is superior.
@@DesignPrototypeTest Tilting beds add more degrees of freedom for miscalibration error.
Great video , this is really helpfull for all of us.
Keep up the good work.
Greetings from Romania.
love your videos bro, keep going
I subscribed to your channel when you first started it and after a while I stopped watching it because I got a bit of a jaded vibe coming off of you towards other content makers. I think this was because while I have a bit of an engineering background I look at 3D printers from more of an enthusiast perspective which a lot of other channels cater to. However the one thing I did take away from most of your videos is your engineering and design analysis instead of just touting all the little gizmos and shining things companies were adding to the printers. The video sends me on a complete 180 on your channel. You really did a great job looking at all off the aspects of the printer, pointing out its merits as well as flaws from the engineering point of view as well as your cyber security concerns about this product. NO OTHER CHANNEL has even brought this up! Excellent work. I am surprised that one of the big channels out there hasn't scooped you up and brought you onboard like Linus Tech Tips or someone.
Thank you! Have a great day!
21:43 I think the big fan isn’t only for better cooling but for better heat distribution and more heat in the build chamber when printing with closed doors for high temp material.
I uses a similar mod for my Voron. It adds around 10c in the chamber.
Cheers! Thank you.
after reading that some filerments reguiure the lid off, I wondered what happens to the ams box, and as far as I can see the ams box does rest on top, with lid off! correct me if I am wrong, as I just taken delivery 2 days ago, and i needed to do some set up things regarding my PC and wifi to it.before i do my first prints.
For 3 stepper motors for the bed you need 2 additional stepper motors + 2 stepper drivers. Then I've seen them going out of sync, and it can break things. And you don't need them anyway as the bed height is rapidly adjusted as head flies above. So it would only increase price and reduce reliability for no actual difference in the prints. The only reason you may want to do this if you don't want to control bed leveling on the fly and instead just do an initial adjustment before printing. But it means you solve software deficiencies by adding hardware. Also it would not compensate for bed warping so it would still require level adjustment on the fly. Another problem is where would you place motors? If directly under the screws, it would require to increase printer size as there is no free space under the bed or around it. If on the back, where they would not interfere with the bed, it would be quite lame to use 3 belt drives. As Elon Mask said, the best part is no part.
Yay a printer video. Please make more.
You can print ASA instead of ABS given how ABS fumes interact with you. Its basically the better version of ABS. Prints without fumes, has same mechanical properties and is even UV resistant for outdoor applications.
I enjoyed seeing it's guts and that answered my question on how they can sell it so cheap. Thanks for the video.
after hundreds of multi-positioned prints, we have never used any glue on the buildplate. Our last printer was the FL Sun delta printer and used a PEI build sheet also never using any adhesives after thousands of prints with no failure. Using a cheap filament ($15) ended up with various adhesion failures even though we feed from a drier.
Only just watched this and always a great place to come and see a real review rather than someone reading the features from the list and printing a few generic prints.
I have one and I am totally impressed, that thing is incredible, thats all I can say about it.
You can send your sliced file to the SD card by selecting SEND or SEND ALL from print dialog in the slicer.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but I heard one reviewer say you need to turn on the air filter. It doesn't default to on.
All in all superior video that’s sooo good man! Really good.
MAN OH MAN! What great detail! Im a mechanical engineering student and you really tickled all my concerns in investing in this 3D printer, which is a good and bad thing. As I am a student, Im worried about investing all my hard earned money in this printer(mentions on the longevity - for example: the circuit board placement), but I also know all the great things I can do with this printer. So Im a litte torn on buying this shiny bad boy.
I would to hear your recommendation for someone who doesn't have much money to throw around.
Thank you for your effort and great quality for information and dismantling skills! :)
As a mechanical engineering student with knowledge and skills, I think you would be best serve, practicing. Flex those muscles man! Build your own printer. Or at least heavily modify one. Are you following Dr. D. Flow? There are so many options for you. You could start cheap like REALLY cheap. You can find used Ender 3s for around $100 dollars these days. Put a filament run out switch and a bed probe and you're as good as a Prusa. You can print anything you realistically would need. Not as quickly as the Bambu but you can then move on to more grown-up projects like a CNC router or a CNC plasma cutter.
@@DesignPrototypeTesthmm good advice! I'll check out Dr D Flow. I have been worried about burning my house down with these kinds of projects😂 but it is time I get into modifying, other than just building a house for the 3D printer.
I must say I was really captivated by the pure beauty of the bambu. It's just such a high tech machine. But time is on my side, so maybe modifying something can prove more useful.
Thank you for your advice! I'll be sure to watch future content 😁
It is beautiful. It's also proprietary. Not a lot to modify there. There's other ways to skin a cat. You won't learn what they are unless you start at the bottom.
I absolutely love this in-depth video and review on the printer. Your consistently publish really good content and it's very appreciated.
Man! Thank you. This one got to me. "I love you too." Have a great day!
