I know in my heart Dan could host a peaceful woodworking channel even if he had no idea what he was doing and still be massively successful purely on the strength of his Instructor Dan demeanor

I love how they excuse their "poor" audio quality but it still being way better than the audio quality of most other KZfaq Channels.

Good review. We like the Anycubic machines a lot. You should be able to get faster top speeds without step loss by using lower max acceleration. It probably doesn't come with s-curve acceleration enabled, but with a new firmware install that can also be enabled to help reduce resonances. An upcoming version of Marlin will include "input shaping," which should also increase the top reachable speeds while eliminating ugly surface artifacts at all speeds.

Dan has easily become my favourite LTT host since Luke stopped hosting. I want more videos with him!

Dan is everything Linus Media Group was missing.

excellent video Dan 👏😎

It would be great if LTT would also do comparison videos with these products.

The issue I have with this is that it's effectively going up against the Ender 3 which you can pick up fairly often for $99. The community is going to be a lot bigger and the support is too with many companies like Bigtreetech making 3rd party boards and accessories specifically for the Ender line of products. So yes, while this is $200, you can get an ender usually cheaper and add on things like a BLTouch for $40 ish with the benefits that come with Creality. The downside to the Ender however would be the slower speeds, but looking at the 100mm/s and what I think was 80mm/s, a lot of tinkering would be required to get those to work reliably. So you're more likely to be running at the more conventional 50-60mm/s.

Dan is still the bob ross of Technology, so calming.

For those wondering as he skipped over the V Wheel tuning details, what you want is the ability to turn them by hand, without them free spinning with no resistance. In other words, light friction as you turn an individual roller wheel by hand. The three wheels need to all achieve this in unison and only 1 wheel has the eccentric nut to turn to adjust how closely it grips the rail, so if one of the outer wheels isn't playing nice, you may have to loosen the entire end assembly on the aluminum extrusion in order to get all 3 wheels to play nice since this lets the "angle" of the outer two wheels settle in place against the aluminum extrusion evenly. Now adjusting the singular wheel with the nut will let you get all three wheels into equal pressure. Then just re-tighten the end assembly afterwards and re-check all is good. Remember, inexpensive means mass assembly, and shipping from China is never without some jostling, so just accept that some careful tuning is often in order. I believe this type of fixed bed and a probe for the surface will push most other manual tram designs off the map over time. Seems like the cost difference between springs and wheels added to tram the bed, versus a probe should be minimal.

Usually takes me 20+ videos to start warming up to new cast members but Dan, I want more of his content. He reminds me of someone I used to know and this calming personality makes me feel relaxed.

I love this current upload schedule. 5 ShortCircuit videos this week is fantastic, normally we're lucky if we get three. I love these videos the most, so I'm also happy when there's a new one.

We love Dan videos!

this dan person is really fun to watch

Dan's voice is almost as soothing as Mark Cerny's. AND he makes videos more often than once a (console) generation. MORE DAN PLEASE AND THANKYOU!

I know they're not 'click magnets', but I'd LOVE to see more 3D printing topics on LTT. There's a lot of confusing info out there and I fell like LTT could cut to the chase better than most.

Dry humour is always the best :) Thanks Dan 😂

LTT employee developement strstegy is great, how they expose little by little people to camera until they are ready to do solo videos. Never stops to amaze me how well LTT is managed as a company

"😐 I'm very exited" God I love Dan hahaha

I really appreciate Dan's sense of humor in LLT videos. What a great addition to the team. Also thank you Dan for the great review the printer. May God bless you and you family.🙂❤

Basically a ender 3 Pro with some popular upgrades installed from factory

The Bob Ross of tech.

I really enjoyed the showcase focusing on both the average consumer experience with the printer as well as Dan's own preferences as a hobbyist/enthusiast, even though it wasn't a review i still felt that there was some valuable info put out here. Hope to see Dan appear in more videos!

For entry Level Printers, the new elegoo Neptune 3 is great, but can be a bit hard to get at the moment. However, the anycube is a solid choice as well.

Besh Med levelling killed me. 😂

Dan is fast becoming my favorite presenter. his voice and demeanor are personified ASMR

I went with the Cr6-Se as my 1st printer and im glad i did....pretty simple install and setup and has served me well..only issue i have had is with the connection form the board to the heater going bad but a soldering job solved it and helps as i took out the low quality plug it had and so ill never have any more issues with that.....of course it was bout twice as much as this one but since ive had it for almost 2 years at the time i thought it was the best overall

Great work Dan! your hosting skills get better every episode!

Love the inside scoops this guy gives us ❤

Dude says "I'm very excited" with the straightest face. NEVER CHANGE DAN!

Been loving the 3D print videos man! Please keep them coming!

We need more Dan videos! Maybe a series of him reviewing more maker/enginerding products like this, or even just making cool stuff.

I gotta say that Dan's voice and way of talking is soothing when you have this on a background while doing homework. Really good entertaiment.

Love that LTT does more 3d printer reviews! Would be cool to see some SLA printers as well.

Excellent video, Dan! I’m loving the 3d printer coverage on LTT. Keep it up!

Great video! One tip: the entrance for the filament is on the left, so it’s easier on the extruder and less strain on the filament to put the spool on the left

Did I see an iFixit screwdriver there? ;) Good stuff Dan, you're a great addition to the team as far as I'm concerned!

Got their Vyper earlier this year. Was weird to see how much had to be assembled compared to the Vyper.

I love Dan’s practical points about the adjusting the arm, base, speed, etc.

i just love how much enthusiasm and knowledge dan exudes in these! Can we get a video about 3d printing with him as a host?

I know Linus has previously said 3D printing content is a dead end for the youtube algorithm so there probably won't be a 3d printer round up on the main channel but it would be nice once the Lab is up and running they'll have a 3d printer roundup on day 1

This guy is by far my favorite LTT presenter already. Something about his quirky but heavily muted charm, idk

I love 3D printing, and I would love to see you and LTT do reviews and assembly videos of all the brands and their 3D printers.

The audio is quite good, great test of the LTT en espagnol workflow ! Sometimes the cuts are audible but it’s really good

Has LTT screwdriver, finishes with ifixit kit.

We just got a $3,500 Flashforge at work and I'm trying to see why its $3,000 more than my modified Ender 3v2.

I love those textured build plates and use them on my Prusa and Ender printers which are about the same size as this. I just assembled an Anycubic Kobra Max last week to make some bigger stuff (400x400x450mm), and after following the calibration video from "The Makers Cave" this weekend it's printing really nice. The downsides are it's huge, draws 500W to heat the bed, and I don't have a textured build plate for it yet. The Kobra Go in this video looks like it has the same quality, so $190 seems like a really good deal. It also looks like they changed from a USB type B port to type C. You should be able to hook up a little SBC running OctoPrint if you need to place it away from your desktop and don't want to keep putting your gcode files on the microSD card. OctoPrint lets you control/monitor the printer and upload your gcode files through a web browser. The microSD card that came with my Kobra Max got corrupted on about the tenth time I wrote some files to it and had to be reformatted. I'd recommend backing up whatever files come on yours, which is something I didn't do. :(

3:40 me in an exam trying to explain a concept with a lot of technical detail

I probably trust Dan's reviews more than anyone else. He just doesn't care what anyone thinks.

I could watch Dan review a bag of sand. 🤩

I fn love Dan in these, relatable, honest, mature humor and covers the points people want. More Dan

Linus’ dad always manages to calm me down after a hard day. Such a peaceful vibe.

If the LTT screwdriver has every bit to build a printer, why do I spot an iFixIt driver? 👀

for once something on this channel i’m in the market for and in a price i can afford

I received my Kobra go yesterday and started to assemble this morning, hit step 2 and found they had misdrilled the holes for the z-axis motor. Should I just return and get something different? It's my first 3d printer and now im worried I made a big mistake!

When the bed is leveled, do you have to copy the points to the slicer for the gcode or does the machine just integrate the bed level coordinates along with the code for the print? How does this work?

Dan has consistently been my favorite host

It looks like it's taken 99% of its design from the Ender 3, which is no bad thing, but is it really better?

The difference between a higher-priced printer and a lower-priced printer usually comes down to tinkering and "how much do you want to tinker" versus "how much do you want to print." Usually the tolerances for tinkering are higher on cheaper printers because they're cheaper. If I had to tinker on my Prusa, for the price, I'd be raging! But my i3 Mk3 runs whenever I need it, flawlessly, no matter how long it sits between prints, or how continuously I run it. "It just works" is a major factor in why I'm so brand loyal.

Love the Besh Med leveling. Makes everything so easy.

No wonder everyone at LMG just takes the 3D printers from the office, buying them on your own is expensive.

this is pretty much a slightly more expensive ender 3

I like the format of this video. You're also one o fmy favorite hosts! This was very enjoyable, and informative.

the printer looks nice but is there any way to even manually level the bed? auto bed leveling is great on a bedslinger but it wont fix a unleveled bed.

As someone who's been learning both FDM and resin printing over the past 6 months, I'd love to see a channel with LMG's resources take a shot at printer reviews, comparisons, and especially DIY upgrades.

I’m loving the coverage of 3d printers and printing on the channels

Would love to see Dan do more vids on 3D printing!

I remember when $200 got you an Anet A8 and your house burned to the ground. My first printer was an A8 and you really learn a lot with a first printer like that when you try to upgrade it to have decent print quality, or at least make it safe to use. Also, be careful not to overtighten those wheels, better to undertighten and have to tighten it a bit more, than to overtighten and need to replace the wheels, Maker's Muse has a good video on the subject. Also, it's not uncommon for printers with auto bed leveling to not have manual bed adjustment.

Great informative video Dan, well done, look forward to the next one.

Nice video, really like seeing some 3D printer stuff. Would love to see some of the more crazy "overclocking" printers, such as a Voron, or a RatRig on this channel.

I am at the new point of this, and just set up my printer. I've done the leveling at the starting point. I get a few layers in and then it stops, with the red stop showing. It doesn't do anything after that point, and I end the print. I don't know if I'm stopping to early and it needs more time but the bed starts cooling down, so figure that it isn't going to do anything else. What am I doing wrong? The print is the standard test owl, given by anycubic.

I did it. I made the purchase. I got the shipping + printer + 5.25mm + of filament for $205 US. For my first foray into 3D printing, I feel this was a great deal. I'll see if that holds up when the machine arrives. I'll also see if I have the proper skills to use it LOL.

Would love Dan to make a bunch of videos on 3D printing tips!

There’s no way, I was considering buying one of these today and couldn’t find any reviews for it. The luck is insane thank you!

Always like seeing dan in more videos. Got a different sense of humor and style that I dig.

Hi. I have one as this. Last time it always mowes second slice. Nothing help. How can I fix it?

”I’m very excited” he said in extreme deadpan :D

I don't have a 3D printer nor am I planning to get one at the moment, but Dan is such a great host. He's an amazing addition to the team. Bravo!

Love how the LTT screwdiver just lays to the side after cut and iFIXIT bit driver and kit is basically front and center :D

I remember when Dan first came to the channel and he had this strange high pitched camera voice! It’s nice to see him starting to ease into his roll!

Everyone loves Dan as he's the everyman, and extremely smart. Top notch video as usual.

The cyberpunk PC in the back of the short circuit set is looking so cool

I got an Anet A8 a few years ago which was AUD$230 (US$150) which seems is no longer available on ebay but does have the dual motors for the Z axis and was quite a bit more of an effort to put together however it certainly gave me the bug. The crap PSU went in the bin and replaced with an ATX PSU powering a Raspberry Pi running Octiprint over WiFi very much changed it. I feel that if you NEED a 3D printer then buy one that just works but if you want to really get into it and understand it and build things your way get something you can build upon. Printing your own parts for your own printer is very satisfying.

i freaking love dan! so wholesome and incredibly smart. seems like a really cool dude cant wait for more videos with dan!

I have a Creality Ender 3 v2 is quite simmilar in build. When I assembled mine, I tightened the bed's leveling nuts all the way, took a digital level and zeroed it on the bed, and the used that to align the X-axis gantry when tightening those V-wheels.

every time i see Dan in the thumbnail i shout "DAAAAAN" and watch the video! keep it going man, you got a fan! :D

Just like in the vyper, the bed is solid mounted. The hotend uses a strain gauge. Works nice and no messing with springs and wheels.

I'm mainly interested in cheap printers as an addition to another printer I already have. This is for times where I want to print more than one part at the same time, and not all need to be printed on an more expensive one. For any additional traits, besides a low price, my top priority would probably be to have a copper plated all metal hotend, not bed leveling.

What tempreature was your bed and nozle for the print that came out the best. Also what was your nozle height?

Dan your spool mount is backwards. It should be tilting towards the feed side to relieve stress.

I think they hit the market extremely well. 200$ is a good price for this quality. It's enough to print tools and parts that will pay for the printer on their own. Anyone can buy this.

I got a Bluer TwoTrees 2 years ago for USD199 and it's an amazing printer, i printed a lot of stuff on it and always worked with no problems, that is my first 3d printer and was perfect for beginners.

Can't stop noticing that amazing Cyperpunk computer in the background

Got my ender 3 pro for $99 at microcenter a couple of weeks ago and I totally agree about the variables thing, its tricky to figure out whats causing the problems

I love Dan. Love to see more videos with him. I feel like I am watching a Bob Ross painting with his soothing voice

Well, I thought mesh levelling was foundamental in consumer level 3D printers. It does take a minute or so even with a bluetouch...

Mouth words: "I'm very excited" Mouth tone: "I'm really not"

I'm a simple man: I see a video hosted by Dan in my recommendations for channels I'm not subscribed to, I watch.

Can we just have this guy for every short circuit video?

Dan's voice is soothing and calming. I could listen to him talk about anything all day long
