As far as the oscilloscope tutorial goes, I think it will be evergreen content that people will come back to for years to come. I know I certainly plan to use it when I eventually am able to get my hands on an oscilloscope. I know that doesn’t help you in the algorithm right now but I hope it doesn’t discourage you too much from making helpful tutorials like that.

This is the part many people seem to miss (my theory: ADHD and delayed-gratification pull against each other). Unless you're really pressed for money, and need immediate liquidity, evergreen contents are objectively better worth for your time. Case in point: (there may be more/better examples, but) @Afrotechmods' youtube channel... the guy literally retired after making some evergreen content & can now live off the revenue as passive income and do whatever he wants to with the rest of his life (including, and not limited to making self-reloading nerf blasters, if he wants to).

Yeah, I think he is underrating the value of his in-dept content. His dive into the technical aspect is how I found his channel in the first place. As far as monetization goes though, perhaps this 3D/tech niche is cut-throat and he is planning on minimizing the script next? He can go on for an hour about the most interesting topic, but if his dialogue is rife with idiosyncratic quasi-intellectual, arduously precise, obviously erroneous big words that probably confuse most people KZfaq; he will suffer ad-sense degradation if the thumbnails aren't soyboy lit.

13:07 - Next time you shoot a Nerf blaster at the camera, try a shot with the camera pointed at 90-degree-angle mirror. That way you can aim and fire the blaster directly at the lens's reflection in the mirror, and still not damage your camera itself. Choose glass mirror (and slow-motion video recording) for awesome distortions and/or shattering effects, and choose an acrylic safety mirror if you want to more safety (acrylic-ly). Bonus visual points for revealing a cool-looking thing behind the broken mirror, after the dart is fired at it.

@i_like_trains72 Жыл бұрын
Sort of, yeah. Depending on the humidity and plastic, you have to dry it before printing. Personally, I like to dry my filament as needed, and then print right from it. PETG - dry it! TPU - dry it! ASA - dry it! ABS - never used it, 'dry' and see PLA - don't, unless the filament is brittle.
@foldionepapyrus3441 Жыл бұрын
Possible this basement is a climate controlled space sufficiently dry for most filaments, not all plastics are equally bothered and a comfortable temperature and humidity range for humans overlaps with those spools requirements. But some filaments really can't ever be dry enough, so for those actually printing right out of an active drybox is to be recommended for best results.

@@Elmojomo that’s crazy. You should try it. Food dehydrators are cheap and work well. I think you’ll be impressed by the quality difference if that’s a factor you care about. All filaments absorb moisture, just some faster and more dramatically than others. (Nylon is notorious for absorbing enough moisture to cause issues within seconds to minutes in your sort of humidity. Even PLA, which it’s extremely common for people to say doesn’t absorb a meaningful amount of moisture (to the point it affects print quality) absolutely does. Especially if it’s near 50% humidity around you, it only takes a matter of hours to a day for it to absorb enough to affect perimeter surface finish and stringing.
