It is really impressive how great all the LMG hosts are. Every new person has a unique take on things and is always entertaining. Whoever does the hiring is really damn good at their job.
Dan plays a very important role on the staff. He's very clearly the "Guy who knows a bit of everything," which means you can throw him at basically any weird problem and expect a solution. It might not be a pretty solution, but he'll solve it.
Id love if he hosted a video or two about his 3d printer setup and a video about the best beginner 3d printer for people who plan on upgrading parts and stuff down the line.
Dude is like the Bob Ross of tech reviews. I feel my blood pressure dropping, and feeling stupidly happier for no apparent reason than his soothing voice. Even when its a bad review, I feel better after watching it.
6:35, thats usually a PTFE (Teflon) tube. You aren't wrong about wanting a tighter bowden tube but this tube is actually a reverse bowden tube, which should be wider. Reason being that the direct drive hotend pulls the filament and you do not want extra drag from a tight reverse bowden. Unlike an actual bowden setup its purely a loose guide.
Yup. And in a set up like this having a tighter tube can actually cause issues when printing with certain filaments such as Metal Fill or CF Nylon due to the tightness causing too much friction leading to potential under extrusion.
Dan is great, he always looks sad and that makes me laughing even more. I also really like Adams, but dunno why his videos got least views. Both of them are fresh af
When is Dan finally getting his own channel? Man i could watch al types of content from this guy; cooking shows, guided meditation, bob ross style art tutorials, action movies, man i would even watch politcal news when dan would host
8:10 I love that when linus thinks he's being a nuisance, dan is like "Oh you want to play this game? I don't get even, I get crazy." And just tips the entire thing over during the print without missing a beat.
I'm very experienced in the 3d printing space. In the past, LTT has done had some bad videos explaining 3d printing concepts. It was always a matter of somebody with a little bit of experience explaining a concept or topic they barely understood. This video is not that, Dan knows what he is talking about, clearly he has a ton of printing experience. This is far and away the best 3d printing focused video LTT has had. Keep Dan doing any 3d printing content in the future.
There is still a few things he got wrong. As much as i like him i cannot agree, he seems to know how to print, but i'd leave the reviews to someone more experienced. (Maybe a Nero collab :p)
3d printing shouldn't be like Linux: you shouldn't have to be a borderline engineering doctorate to know how to efficiently print plastic junk or little modifications to bigger machines. I think the prior videos where it sounds like someone doesn't know what they're talking about is because someone hasn't simplified a UI to let grandma 3d print something. Most tech people even aren't interested in spending $800+ then having to research how to use that expensive machine and what nozzle and speed to print at.
@@Daniel-kf8hf yeah but the delivery was good and most points are still valid, this is clearly geared towards the regular "see it, download it, print it" consumer.
@@leenunya2965 i absolutely agree with you but this just feels more like an ad because there are so much things in this Printer that is just a red flag imo
this makes me want a live stream where sarah does drawing and design work, and at the same table dan does like a soldering project. they both sit there and work on their respective projects and chat with each other and the audience.
Dan is not a reviewer. He is someone who first and foremost REALLY LIKES THESE THINGS , and happens to be fantastic at laying out reviews. I find reviewers on this platform genuinely seem to often want to hate the things they're reviewing lol. Short circuit couldn't be more the opposite. Just the way Dan says "Ohh , Extra nozzles!" , the excitement is palpable.
I love Dan's calm demeaner. He's so easy to listen too and you know that he knows his stuff. My wife never complains when he's hosting but always gets irritated when she hears Linus' voice and tells me to put my earbuds in. I don't understand what she has against Linus' voice, but if I don't want a perturbed wife, (and I really don't) I just do it.
I'd like to state: Tight bowden tubes (1.8-2mm ID) are important for when you have a bowden extruder, which pushes the filament through the tube. On a direct drive extruder, using a large (2.5-3mm ID bowden) reduces friction as the filament is pulled through the tube.
Damn that power interruption auto recover is a game changer. My power cut out for a second in the middle of a long print and I didn't want to start from scratch again and had to figure out which specific layer the print stopped at and edit the gcode manually to resume from there. It worked out but if I never had to do it again I sure wouldn't mind
Dan has such a soft and soothing voice its a wonderful change from the energetic and sharp voices of everyone else. Not that I don't love all the other LMG hosts!
Now that was an excellent 3d printer review (coming from someone with five of them). I appreciate that Dan clearly knows a lot about 3d printing and didn't talk down to us or leave much out of his review!
@@rodrigogonzalez6791 That is a good question and one that gets asked a lot. 2 years ago if you asked 10 people, 9 of them would have said the Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro and the 10th would have said Prusa Mini. However a lot has changed for the better for entry level printers. I would recommend an Anycubic Kobra or Ender 3 Neo (or Ender 3 S1). If you are concerned about spending that much money on your first printer, an Ender 2 Pro is an excellent printer, but with a smaller build plate and a few less features than the others I mentioned.
The Artemis is Corexy FDM printer while the Prusa and the ender 3 are i3 style printers the difference being the Corexy has better printing speed and quality but is complex in design as opposed to i3 printers which are simple and small and it seems like you can upgrade the printer hotend and change the motherboard so it's easy to do
I really like this guys voice an tone for the video, pretty relax and comforting. It's a welcome difference from the upbeat and fast pace from the regular host on the channels
That metal plate is made of PEI which gets sticky when it's hot so your print will stick better, then when it cools down it unsticks. I bought one as a replacement for my standard metal bed and it's fantastic to use. I like my Flashforge Adventurer 4, even though it's not super mainstream I like how it prints.
Great 3D Printer to kickstart LMG's 3D Printer reviews! Having worked at a 3D Printing company for 3+ yrs, Flashforge 3D printers were the most reliable & affordable printers out in the market. We usually run them 24/7 most of the times. Requires very little maintenance. Only problem is replacing parts since you get locked to their ecosystem as everything is proprietary (except the filament). Also, from my prev. exp. I'd chuck the filament tube which is actually more for style and sometimes causes clogging. Since, it's direct drive you can insert the filament directly to the extruder head. Also, surprised to see they haven't changed the touchscreen settings or the music in over 6+ years. I'm not sure if this is a bug still but their unload function rarely works. You have to use loading setting for both filament loading & unloading.
The LTT entertainment empire needs more Dan. Dude knows what he's doing, especially with 3d prints, and most importantly he's delightfully sarcastic and has dry wit. He's the hero we need.
Had the predecessor (flashforge Finder) as my first printer 6 years ago. It's a solid machine, but whenever something breaks it's almost impossible to disassemble. Biggest upside was zero setup needed apart from leveling. No assembly, no tramming, no stepper calibration etc
To this day I still have my flashforge finder. According to the system settings menu it has run over 1300 hours, never had a lot of issues with it. For Christmas I upgraded to an all-metal heartbreak, all-metal extruder arm and a 0.2 mm nozzle. Although it prints very fine details, the added weight gives me an insane amount of ghosting. Nevertheless, it's my first and most reliable printer ever! When I move out, I'm gonna encase the removable printbed in a resin cube I think to keep it was a decorative piece. If this one is anything as reliable as the flashforge finder I'd recommend it to everyone (although it's a bit expensive compared to the insanely cheap ender series these days)
Dan is the best. You can really tell how knowledgable he is, but the best aspect about Dan is that you can feel his general curiosity about tech. You can immediately tell that he takes all his shit apart at home just to see how it work and I've been that way since i was a wee lil nerd.
My first 3D printer was a FlashForge Replicator Dual clone (MakerBot board and everything), the O.G. wooden one from 2012. With that said, they make quality printers without cheaping out. Personally (im cheap) a bit more that i want to spend when you can find other better printers for less, but! ussually almost always require tinkering or a complex setup.
Ive had my Flashforge finder for a few years and it still works great! Very stable due to the printbed only moving in the Z direction. Also has very high print quality
Movement are called cartesian. I would suggest using black filament instead of white. White don’t show well on camera and it generally just hides defects. If one where to buy the printer one would like to see the quality of the print.
At $1500 compared to creality's ender 3 v2 that on their website cost $279 people are gonna go for the cheaper printer, this is why people go for the printers from creality and prusa, they are affordable. Not to mention all the upgrades that can be done on the cheaper printers where as here you are lucky just to be able to change the nozzle. enders 3 can be completely changed to a core xy printer and may still be under the cost of this flashforge printer. and you say this can be used for education purposes, most printers like ender 3 and prusa printers all are alot easier to work on making them perfect for education enthusiast and even professional use.
Can confirm, glass printer beds are often surprisingly not very flat. Usually beats a spring steel sheet for flatness if the bed plate is a thin ish rolled aluminum plate though.
I have a FlashForge Inventor II that I've been running for a few years now. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it's been a trooper! Only wish it had a larger print-bed and physical buttons vs the iffy touchscreen.
Your "bronze bearings" are called sleeve bearings, which are commonly used in dc brushless motors and wheel assemblies in appliances. VERY common and last a long time.
To be honest, you can't say that most printers don't have failure recovery anymore. Even ender 3 pro's have that. This is also not an "affordable" printer. Maybe for a company, who is looking at "industrial' designs, or someone used only to Prusas, but the average printer with specs like these should be much lower. Look at the new Ender 3 Pro V2 or Smart, for example.
I had a Flashforge as my first 3D Printer about 8-9 years ago. I think it was a makerbot clone, but it also had the XY on the print head (not CoreXY, but still). I wonder if that's just a thing with them. Their bed leveling program hasn't changed a bit. Not an autoleveler, but still easy enough to keep it affordable.
9:00 when i printed in print shop they showed to each other model of rhino, which was stopped on half. I saw all 3d magic and first gen experience. They also said that half of model was printing for a 3-4 hours.
I cant see this printer being school friendly as it is not enclosed although it could be issued with an enclosure upgrade, little fingers and all that saftey thing, that looks like an open source nozzle and not the proprietary Flashforge cartridge type nozzle so its easily and cheaply available!
I would only recommend FlashForge if you absolutely need a feature that's not readily available on other machines. All the proprietary hardware and software are limiting your 3D printing experience - oh this printer is only compatible with a couple nozzle sizes, oh the slicer don't have the feature, etc. There're plenty of faster, better quality, and open-source printers for cheaper and better supported by the brands and communities which in turn contributes to new techs and features. You don't even have to tinker if you don't want to with something like a Prusa, yet you enjoy the fruits of passionate people worldwide.
I feel equal parts unnerved and heartwarmed when Dan smiles about the idea of printing the frog.
Hahaha, right? I think of Dan's cynicism and hating on stuff, it's delightful yet unexpected to see him get excited about printing a frog.

You don't even have to tinker if you don't want to with something like a Prusa, yet you enjoy the fruits of passionate people worldwide.
