@@androiduberalles I reckon after some time the "Thomas Sanladerer:" part will be removed and "Made with Layers" will be the full name, so it will be short enough to fit on small screens after the transition period
Having followed your content from the beginning, I have every confidence the newest of new looks for the channel will work, and if you're doing things that interest you, it's going to show in the content. Yay for 450K!
I love it. Putting the dot on the i in Dutch “het puntje op de i zetten” means putting in the finishing touches. And that was exactly what you were doing here
When I 1st got into 3D printing your channel was one that I leaned on a lot and it continues to be. Thanks so much for all you've done for this community and I look forward to the new channel branding!
I like the brand, and the sign is awesome. I find paint sprayers pretty intimidating, so it's great to see someone use them to good effect, and just try different things to see how they work. Also really appreciate the attitude that it doesn't need to be perfect...a good reminder for those of us who can tend to let the lack of perfection keep us from just getting a project done. Good luck with the new channel brand, and keep up the great work!
Love the new channel name! And the “neon” design is super smart. The painted glow effect will be so much easier to avoid overexposing on camera than an actual bright glow. So many neon signs end up just looking like bright blobs 😁
You mentioning the history of your channel reminded me that I built my first printer, following along with you (dolly) because you made it possible. Thank you. Still hanging out and enjoying everything you do. Have fun with the new name, as you have layers too.
Hey Tom, nice of you to post an update for us. Been a supporter for a while now, and glad to see this being implemented. Now post a much of aff links on a website. Rather have my purchase contributions going to you to help support your efforts.
You've helped guide our whole journey with 3d printing. My wife and I have sought your videos for years for entertainment and ideas. It's so cool and satisfying seeing your channel grow to the point where you're (finally) considering branding. We wish you all the luck!
Honestly man, when I tell people your name - most of them not being native germans - they always have trouble spelling your last name. I'm so glad I can tell them to look up "Made with Layers" now. You're one of the top content creators in this space. You have a moral fiber that many others don't.
Great job on the airbrushing. It really does look like neon. The only thing is, it does not look like a neon sign when it is not on. Very cool project.
I was starting to think that the “2 years ago” screen was just your way of saying that wiring the LED strips took longer than you’d expected/hoped it would. Then you explained why it had taken so long. I’m glad I’m not the only one who had projects that seem to get lost 😂
I've created a few LED neon signs and I faced the same LED spacing issue too. What I ended up doing was cutting the LED strip short, and leaving extra sheathing on both ends. There's very minimal fading at the edges since the sheathing does a great job at diffusion. It gives you more room for error when fitting it to your design.
I have seen the past videos where you talked about brand relabeling. I think your passion for what you do and the careful decision to finally do it is awesome. Good luck on the next step..
This channel has inspired me to take on many projects I never would have before. Your out of the box problem solving techniques are great! The name change and logo are both wonderful.
Great choice for the channel! Spot on about how 3d printer has changed, now 9 out of 10 stuff just works. And DO WHAT YOU LIKE, otherwise, what's the point! And when out of ideas, just ask the audience!
My cousin has a bizarre lip-shaped mirror with a red neon backlight. When the neon died (as they like to do) she asked for my help. Lacking the equipment to test the absurdly high voltage of its transformer, I suggested replacing the backlight with the same type of LED strips you're using. The result is fantastic. I think it's even slightly brighter than before.
I'm sure it can be rough for any established youtuber to change their channel name. I appreciate that you kept your name in the mix for the transition period so your existing followers have something to recognize from the past associated with your new name for the future.
Der neue Name ist sehr gut gewählt! Ich gratuliere auch zum coolen Eigenbau-Logo 🤩 Das ist dir wirklich gelungen, sieht hammermäßig aus! Danke auch von mir für all deinen informativen und hilfreichen content!
Like it, really effective. I'd have been a geek and made one of the sections blink like neons can do sometimes. I was sort of surprised you didn't make a cnc router table to cut these out. Keep up the good work, really enjoying your videos.
I just subscribed to your channel because I watched this video and noticed that you fully explain the details and make it very easy to understand. I see too many youtube videos that seem to hurry through and leave out some much info. So great job and i look forwards to watching more of your videos.
It's kinda "nostalgic" to see old footage or even the stuff from 2 years ago. I do like that especially with that "chaos computer club"-ish music in the background! Originally found you via some learning DVDs which name I already forgot... To boldly go where the newest layers are made! Herzlichen Glücksstrumpf!
I've been watching your vids for years and just realized i forgot to to subscribe a long time ago. Love your videos. Came across your channel when i got my first printer in 2021 and have loved your old and new content since then.
It's looking great considering the design and limitations of the "fake neon" LED. I think I would have used a backlight instead but the results you got are super satisfying.
In the last couple years (after you made the sign) a new 2-part type of led faux-neon has come out which is easier to work with, the led tape is separate to the strip so you can jusf lay it into your routed out tracks how you want, it can be folded and smooshed around corners and such, then the silicone neon bit just presses in over the top, the silicone has ridges that you can use to key it into the routed trench. Big clive has done a video on it.
To this day, I still reference the video of the clip you included when it comes to calibrating your extruder. I love this channel - Thank you for everything, and congratulations on your success. Here's to the next chapter! :D
Your name has become iconic in this space, but Made with Layers is very good too
It's so long it just gets "..."ed , lol. I can't say I feel like that was a good move.
@@androiduberalles Get a bigger screen.
@@androiduberallesI'm curious what you mean by "..."ed
Would that be ellipsis-ed?
Or "Made with Layers"-ed?
Or is there something else?

The new channel name is a good one. Good idea to focus on a range of projects that appeal to you - your enthusiasm shines through!
Love this channel, "educational" is an honor you deserve. Most TH-cam channels are of dubious value to society.
Awesome to see you back from your summer pause and with great news, too!
Wow the results came out amazing ! Made with layers really pops when you plug it in!
Nice sign and I agree with the channel name branding. Fits perfectly.
I love it. Putting the dot on the i in Dutch “het puntje op de i zetten” means putting in the finishing touches. And that was exactly what you were doing here
That sparkle to the paint job is so nice.
Love the synthwave and the rebrand so far!
The sign looks great. Looking forward to the new "branded" projects.
Earth is made with layers. Your branding is spot on. 😁
The neon sign looks superb!
Good luck with the transition to Made with Layers - but please promise us that you'll keep wearing the crazy shirts!!!

Love it! Cool project and the "rebrand" is...on brand!
I have all the confidence that this will help you do even greater things.
I like the logo! It looks really good too. That airbrushed effect really does trick the eye into seeing it as an older neon style light.
Great project, I love neon effects and i think this is fairly accurate to the old glass tubes
Getting better getting brighter. Always loved your contents.

Looks awesome! Congrats on the rebrand! Makes sense.
That sign looks dope, the lighter paint really looks like glow.
Sign looks amazing. Great work!
Awesome results to make those lightweight paint passes with that paint gun!
I love this change!
Being absolutely curious about what comes next and after that.
Love it!
Very nice sign. A really like your new channelname. ❤️
Looking forward to the new brand love the sign. And the last shirt
Really excited about this new direction

I call him Thomas Salamander 🦎
Great job on the airbrushing. It really does look like neon. The only thing is, it does not look like a neon sign when it is not on. Very cool project.
Thomas, that is looking amazing! Indeed the neon sign was made in layers.
Awesome and congrats on starting (finally?) doing the rename.
Well made! And really good looking!
Congratulations Tom! Love the new name; can't wait to see what's next! -Courtney
That looks fabulous. I’m impressed by your patience with the LED strips. I think I would have 3D printed some PETG diffusers and then backlit them.
Love the channel name and the "Made with Lovers" logo. Once you see it...
Nice job! Love the makita vacuum cleaner, i use it as part of a dust collection system.
That sign looks superb 👍
GREAT name for a 3d printing channel. Surprised no one else though of it. Good job mate
Congrats, Tom! I've gleaned a lot of knowledge from your channel over the years. Thanks for that and keep it up! ⭐🙂👍
i think this name change is a good thing, its better to have a brand that can stand out or be recognized.
Congratulations on a nice project and a nice branding effort. Really enjoy your channel and looking forward to what comes next.
Those LEDs have so much use in them. Just like that shaper I need it. Lol
Awesome project! 2 years in the making...
Great looking sign, and congrats on the new branding!
I can't believe it's been almost ten years! Glad to see you are doing more projects, I always loved those videos.

I'd like to point out that many other awesome things are made with layers: nachos, cake and lasagna are among my favorite
that looks amazing! Great job Thomas!

Love the channel and the new name. The sign looks great I would have thought it was proper neon if you hadn't explained otherwise.

Your channel may be now known as 'Made With Layers', but you'll always be 'Thom-San' to us!
This looks amazing Thomas!
As always, things you say make sense Thomas! Looking forward to what’s to come, and very nice logo and full rebranding, it’s inspiring 🙌🤘
Awesome sign, very nicely done🙌

And this work just got perfect
Keep up the good work!
With some letters you could left more sleeves on led stripes to avoid these gaps, but still it looks so nice 👌
Keeeeeeeeeeewwwwl facelift !!! Congratulations to a real channel! :D
Great project and very inspiring.
All hail the 3dp Google Plus community and thank you so much for your contributions over the years
Interesting choice on the re-brand, definitely easier for me to recommend than Thomas Salamander :D
All that matters is that you ollow your heart. The sign is cool and they way you built it will make it easy-ish if you revisit to add RGBWs.
Looks really good 👍🏼
Looks really cool👏👏👏
