Great video, I think it really strikes a balance of being thorough and informative while not being overwhelming to a newcomer. That said, linking to $1320 obsolete (as noted in the product description) lulzbot was probably a poor choice. I get that that is the printer that the presenter used but someone curious but not informed (whom the video seems to target) could potentially be immediately turned off seeing the price before even scrolling to the much more realistic ender 3 s1 linked below that. I honestly only clicked the link because i hadn't heard about lulzbot for some time and last time I did it was for a (to me) unreasonably expensive machine for the caliber of device it was. I get wanting to move the last of a discontinued product but i think it would be better advertised to a 3d printing enthusiast for mostly the name/nostalgia alone. Just some random dudes opinion. I'll be on the lookout for part 2 even though I know how to use a slicer :)
I think with the wave after Bambulab it has moved to not quite a 2d printer but certainly out of the "this has to be a hobby" phase. I think perhaps people using printers that haven't really adopted to this "tunes itself (with auto z, input shaping, etc) and has good profiles out of the box" such as lulzbot printers (that have really fallen behind the times) might have a perception on the difficulty of printing more attuned to older standards. Of course none of the new wave of printers are utterly hands off, as you will eventually get a blob or clogged nozzle, but now with good wikis, and easier to change out common parts, these are maintainance tasks a non hobbyist can carry out easily. Some printers even will tell you exactly when to lubricate certain parts or change filters etc. and a small note: Non bed slingers aren't limited to Corexy. There are Hbot printers, more traditional cartisian printers and cross plane printers all which move the bed vertically. They even have odd things like core xy printers that have stationary beds and flying gantries such as on Voron2.4s and SV08. Lastly, at this point direct drive has firmly won out vs bowden given that with input shaping the motion systems are often no longer the bottleneck.

Amazing as always! Where were you, man?
always nice to see you
