I can't stress enough to beginners: Spend a bit more money to buy a printer with all of the "upgrades" that you're going to add anyway to a "starter" printer. My first two printers needed a LOT of upgrades, and considering the time and expense, I'd have been better off spending another $100 for each of those printers to get the upgraded versions with bed leveling sensors, filament sensors, direct drive extruders... secondary, but might be important to many, get a printer with a decent hot end assembly (this means a heatbreak enabling hotter temperatures). V-rails or rods? Dual z-axis or single? Decide these things BEFORE you choose a base printer; for example, upgrading to a dual-Z from a single-Z is not a straightforward upgrade (wasn't on my Ender 3 Pro, binding like crazy). Lastly, Klipper or Marlin? Regardless of what side you land on that one, I'd say it's easier - and safer - to start with Marlin. Klipper adds a layer of complexity that demands experience when dealing with issues. Get that experience first, then dip your feet into the world of Klipper.
For those that just want prints yeah BUT for tinkers the upgrading process can be half the fun, I loved starting with the base model ender3 because I got to do the upgrading myself which taught me more about the printer and process plus for me was fun. When I first brought a printer I also didn’t know if I’d enjoy the hobby so the upfront saving was appealing
@@nassahexxofficial You can find 'refurb' Creality Ender 3 S1 3D printers for around $200. Excellent 200mm class printer. There are quite a few decent printers below $300 with lots of good features
@@nassahexxofficialif your just starting out I wouldn’t go over 300 tbh learn it and if you like it I would upgrade I can’t wait to save for an industrial and resin printer they’re costly but the cheaper ones still work fine just need a little more fine tuning to get a decent print but it’s definitely worth it for new people cuz it helps with learning imo Edit: if you can find a reasonable used one I’d go for it depending on what it is I wouldn’t pay too much for it though
Anybody have a suggestion which printer to go with? New to all this, and Im not super computer savvy. I like tinkering with things but not really of things if this sort. Mostly would like something to learn on, but not wanting to do upgrades immediately.
Goodness, I can't thank you enough for this video! I've been watching so many videos and had an idea of most of the things mention. But, you went into the detail and reasons that I wanted and needed. BTW, I'm a 70 yo woman and beyond anxious to get my first printer. But, I want to be educated thoroughly so I can jump right in when the printer arrives and I'll be off and running. I have SO many things that I want to design and print, including repairs. I'm learning Onshape and having a blast learning it, although I did have a good bit of experience with Sketch-Up a number of years ago, so it makes a lot of sense. I've already created a bunch of parts for my bird feeder that finally succumbed to the last bear attack, so I now have replacement parts ready to print to repair it. This is going to be so very exciting! So, thank you again. You've earned another subscriber!
Great video. Thanks. When a video is presented as well as this, you dont even notice it has been going for 30mins. Great info for a newcomer and brilliantly presented. Well done.
I;ve been printing now for 5+ years, mostly design my own stuff, robotics mostly, but thought I would watch this video. Excellent info for the newer maker, maybe even the intermediate. What is really time consuming is building a printer, a.k.a the VORON. Wow. But the learning process is incredible. Cheers and awesome work on the video. I do watch you and have watched you, especially when I was learning.
@@olowookeretemidayo3231 Well, here is something that might interest you. I am thinking about opening up a 3D Print storefront here in Scottsdale, AZ. I would sell my models and looking for others that might be interested. 2 ways to do this. 1). The maker sends what he thinks will sell. Before sending I will see if there is an interest level. However that would require the maker to supply me with inventory so the maker would print, use filament, and send via mail of the physical product. 2). Send me the designed file, the stl or 3mf. I would then print it using my printers, my filament, and no need to mail. Easier. I would be paying fellow consigners based on what sells. The storefront, which I do not own, it's like an upscale farmers market. The provide display cases and labels. So a buyer grabs the label, brings to the front where that front desk person opens the display case, grabs the item, and processes the transaction. So, you and everyone gets an inventory of what is sold. Interested in that?
"I know this has been a long video" made me laugh. Some videos on RUclips are hours long. This was the perfect length making sure to hit on the important info. My first 3d printer is in the mail and I cant wait. Thank you for the info, tips and tricks!
Hey mate. You did a great job on this video. It's not long at all. It's like a short 30 minute class for beginners. It's exactly what people need to get introduced to this hobby :-)
I'm a complete noob to 3D printing. I won a Flashforge Adventurer 5M this week and am trying to figure everything out. This video was extremely helpful!
Oh wow, had no idea this literally came out today! Thank so much for this video - I've had my first 3D printer for about a month now, and I've had a couple of successful prints, but I'm still learning what settings can remedy the errors I sometimes (okay maybe more than sometimes) run into, and this was so so helpful! I particularly found your explanation of layer height useful :) Thank you again!
@The3DPrintingZone Hey mills I just started watching my brother has a small one a starter I was looking I think some where in March of 2023 but any ways Squirrel 🤔 Oh do you sand 3d to smoth it and if so what sand paper do you us?
Thx, this video helps a lot in my research. I don't wanna do anything manually. No turning knobs, tightening belts or tweaking such and such. Full automation. Hopefully that printer is out there.
Awesome video. Thank you very much. Honestly, I just bought a 3d printer and before I found your video I was dealing with a lot of trial and error. Great info.
Very informative video. Was seriously thinking about getting into 3D printing and wanted to educate myself prior to making any purchase. This was very helpful. I now have a better idea of what to buy and what is involved.
Great video, I'll probably watch it several times as I am just starting My first printer is an Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro and I'm having a blast. Now I need to learn some 3D CAD 😕
hello there is there a link to the video that he talks about at @5:04 i went to go look and didnt see anything that would be greatly helpful yall thank you
Well-Done; Perhaps placing guide-holes in the slices/laminations ; cutting them out of panels using a CNC machine ; & just bonding/gluing them together might be less effort/resources sometime.
Hi your guide is very useful, yet i do have a question. Can you, like in air curing resin, use additives like metal or mica powders in this resin aswel?
This is a very good overview of 3D printers in general. A couple of points for clarification are needed based on what was mentioned though: The Gantry controls the X and Z axis, not the “X and Y” axis. The longer printer you demonstrated with has a Type “B” USB connector and not a “Type A” connector. Beyond those items everything else was very well covered and should help any newbie understand most of what they need to know to make their first purchase. For a follow on video, you may want to consider discussing the types of printers on the market like Core XY, bed-slinger, or the types that have round vs square/rectangle beds and the types of bed materials, which is a major factor in the output of most all prints.
Check out frankly builds bro he’s good at letting you know what each printers do as he literally has a bunch of different ones. His builds come out beautifully and he’s who I watched when I first started. Make sure you always check out the reviews so you’ll kinda have an idea of what problems to expect so that when it inevitably happens you can quickly catch it
Thank you so much for your content. That was chocked full and I was taking notes FAST. So glad for rewind. I am starting with zero clue on how to run one, but am determined to make 3d refrigerator magnets and want 'something good'. There are so many choices and prices run the gamut. I subscribed and look forward to more videos
I'm at the very start of researching 3D printing. One of my interests is taking a photo image and printing an action figure like print. Can you point me in the right direction on how to take a photo using what software to turn it into a 3D model to then send to the 3D printer. Any help you can give is appreciated
what a great video. I've been on the fence about getting one for a while and, with some of the custom one off stuff I've had to buy for projects that a 3d printed piece would've done the job, I could've bought several printers.
Exceptionally helpful! Thank you so so much for this. I am so glad I ran across you. I don't have a printer yet, just looking into what I may be getting myself into first.
I'm excited to begin the 3D printing .. I order the printer already and just trying to make sure I have the basic ideas before I even begin. So your video helps me a lot ! thank you a thousand times ✌🏼
What do you consider the ideal modeling software if you wanted to design and print motorcycle fairings and custom plastic parts for large-scale model kits (think 1/6th scale RC model crafts). I have a list from what I've researched, but I would like a professional's input. Oh, also, the goal is to get into carbon fiber materials. Either printing the models, and laying the CF, or printing CF directly. Not sure if the software would affect this or not.
The video I watched prior to this, tried to be entertaining but failed to teach me anything at all. Your video was everything I was looking for, informative, well thought-out and extremely useful. Thank you.
awesome video, thank you. been looking at all brands and I think I like this the best. Can you tell me the difference between the LGTLK4Pro and the LK4X?
Sorry went you say at the end about turning the model around to print the object with little or no supports, the model you have is Mario, I’m just wondering could you print it lying on its back so you don’t need any supports
Incredible video. Thx for do much information for a newbie myself. I will get my 3D printer Neptune 4 pro next Monday If DHL doesn't screw it up 🤣 I first thought you just doenloaded the file and could print.. Didn't know you needed to slice it. So something new I just learned. Also I need to get a PC. I hope my old I2 core dual with 4GB will do, hope it will works. Thx again for this great helpful video
We know that Cura is already on the J1.. but limited..as we already printed every sample object snapmaker offers. For some reason we can't get the right ( white ) PLA and Left Orange PLA to work ..swap for 2 color obects..
I am new to 3D printing. It seems like some things I would like to do could be achieved using this amazing technology. Is there a forum you would suggest where someone could answer some of the questions I have before I get started?
I’ve never tried that but it’s not a bad idea. You can buy replacement nozzles pretty cheap so if I have a suspicion that a nozzle is wearing I’ll just replace it. They’re about 25 cents each on Amazon unless your printer needs a proprietary kind.
Thank you for your video on this topic. I'm considering investing on my first 3D printer but would prefer to start with a multi color 3D printer. After printing the first little test boat my first wish for printing an item would be a stormtrooper suit for my ten-year-old. Would love to know if you have made any reviews on multicolor 3D printers as of yet?
Great video. I'm debating on getting into this for some ideas for my small business. I subscribed and didn't even realize the time was going long because it was well explained info. Thanks
Can we use someone's else code to print 3d model in my 3d printer.? Can same apply for cnc like taking someone else g code on my cnc machine to make same cuts?
I started 3D printing two years ago I went with the Ender 3 I have upgraded all my machines according to my printing needs and I liked that concept of taking a basic printer and making it what I need to get the job done if I had bought already together printers with all the upgrades I have added to my machines I would not have learned as much as I have with my printers the thing I love about 3D printing there are printers for just about everyone so I think cost is really irrelevant it's more about what your needs are and for me for the creality Ender 3 met my needs it has the biggest community it's the most popular printer out there and its parts are relatively cheap and easy to install but what I love about the hobby is there really is no bad choices as to what you want whether it's a bamboo Labs or the printers you were showcasing or Ender 3
Hey Donald 👋 How is your printing work going? We are a team of 3d artist and we create 3d model, objects, characters, miniatures, Halloween for printers, gamers, store owners providing the STL files. The offer includes 10% discount. Would you be interested?
The one in this video really is a good option. I trust the Longer brand. A lot of people like to use Creality ender 3-D printers. If you have enough money, I would definitely consider Bambu Lab‘s printers as well.
Couldn't agree more. I started with Creality, then an Elegoo, and then a Bambu. It was a long road to the Bambu, but well worth the price. Still have the Elegoo, gave the Creality to a really awesome friend who wanted a good starter. Love the channel. Keep it up!
I am a beginning beginner with the goal of making hand splints and casts for kids. I’m all set on the medical side for measuring, designing, and recommending a particular splint, but I know nothing about which printer and material to choose. Any suggestions are appreciated!
I want to mention here, this video is very helpful for me, because it helps me to be properly directed in my specific objective to design and cast up to 8 inch ABS housing for printed circuit board devices. Which models are the best to cast small 8×4×2 boxes?
I have invented a small tool which requires a simple handle. What is the most economical way to do this please? The best printer for turning out handles? And the best filament to use for making a tool handle?
This is the first VDO about 3D printing in my life. I am searching any hobbit could be mine after I have been working more than 10 years without hobbies. Thanks for good info
I understand Bambu's lower-res P1S or X1C are FDM printers (hot glue guns) that support PT, PLA, ABS and carbon fiber material.. but what kind of materials are used in the higher resolution SLS/SLA (resin+uv) printers? Aside from speed and the volume size of the print, how does the technology differ from industrial 3d printers (Stratasys Fortus 450mc, sPro 60, Essentium, Fusion3 F410)? Is it that those support even more exotic materials (Peak Victrix AM 200)? Or is it about the software (Orca Slicer , FlashCloud support, etc)?
Not sure if you've gotten one yet, but I have the longer printer as seen in the video here as well as a bamboo lab p1p and they've treated me extremely well. They've been both my first and second printer and being new to printing I found both the printer and programs they come with very easy to learn to work.
I got an anycubic mega x. I'm brand new to 3D printing and currently trying to figure out how the heck to use it. If anyone has tips for that specific printer please let me know! Thanks
you said if multiple fillements /colors are fed into the same hot end you cant change the tempatures.... can you edit the program at all so you can add in the command to change the temp?
Great video, the reason I started watching 3D printing is because I saw a video of using strips of a recycle plastic bottle being use as filament. Is this technology close to the market? What is your take on using recycling material to create 3D items?
Great question. I haven't tried the bottle strip filament yet because it seems like there would be issues with inconsistency. The 3D printer nozzle requires a pretty precise measurement of filament to have consistent and error-free layers, but I know people have done the bottle filament successfully so I think it'd be worth a try at least!
I ordered a Longer LK5 Pro 3D based on this video. Found a screw bushing that fell out and was missing one of the bolts. Emailed support - no response after 24 hours. Went to hardware store to see if they had anything, but bolt is too small. Initiated return process. Will try a different model. Disappointing for my first 3D printer.
With this video and others I've watched, the word "SLICER" seems to be used in various contexts. For example, this tells us to Step 6: print off a model that came with the printer. Then LATER (Step 9) you tell us to find and download Slicer Software. SO HOW could we have printed that model that came with the printer without already having a Slicer? WOULDN'T the printer COME WITH a Slicer? It seems inconceivable that it wouldn't. new subject: @23:55 you tell of under or over extrusion. SHOW US what that looks like. Please.
I want to get one for my 7 year old who crafts alot, under my supervision. Plus I want one.. so you think that's good? I got him into STEM and think this would be awesome
I need help finding a slicer or program which is easy to learn with my 9 and 10 year old.. We started with Tinkercad..but for some reason we make something and then can't transfer G code to our snapmaker J1.. Prusa keeps loading and then that soft ware keeps saying can't export G code too or it doesn't work with our apple laptop which is updated to the latest software.

I'm thinking about getting into 3D printing and I might go for a resin printer for the first one does the resin ever dry up on its own or evaporate I assume it probably does and if so how fast so if I'm only printing one or two things every couple weeks will that be a problem
Im getting started with 3d printer, its very helpful this video, but am i crazy to just go for a neptune 3max as a first printer ? I want to do some big projects 😅
So.. I need some help/advice, I want to buy a printer, for using it to sell models/things and etc. Slight problem, I live in a flat, and the only possible place for me to put it is in my bedroom, along my work desk. So my needs are, that it has decent quality for using it to sell models (I know that some are not Ideal and later on touch ups are needed), second crucial aspect wether is it possible to find one, that lets say is closed and does not produce any smell, and the price range for a first timer I could spend up to a 1,000 euros. Please give some advice for this newbie!
Great video, very informative. I want to print prototype electrical components. Some of these have to operate at 180 -200 celsius and have a UL94 V0 rating. Is there a preferred option of printer to produce these parts? I think I will need to use a PET material. Would you be able to comment on this? Many thanks.
As someone who want to get into the 3d printing businesses I have so much info into what printer I should start with thank to you guys, now my question is I would need a computer or laptop and I can't seem to find much on where to start I woul prefer a laptop but is even possible if so wich one or do I need a desktop computer?! Thank in advance 🙏🏽
Perhaps you could help me with something I would like to buy a 3- D printer but I live very close to a train track which shakes the building Would I be better off farming out the job.
This is so intimidating for a beginner 101 class. How many times do you say it depends it depends. It depends. There's so many brands and so many software selections, How does a beginner even get started? This is way over the average Joe's head . I truly appreciate your effort though. Thanks

The longer printer you demonstrated with has a Type “B” USB connector and not a “Type A” connector. Beyond those items everything else was very well covered and should help any newbie understand most of what they need to know to make their first purchase. For a follow on video, you may want to consider discussing the types of printers on the market like Core XY, bed-slinger, or the types that have round vs square/rectangle beds and the types of bed materials, which is a major factor in the output of most all prints.
Could you send me something to read on that Iwant to k ow the details please even though I do t k ow what it means yet I would be so greatful
Check out frankly builds bro he’s good at letting you know what each printers do as he literally has a bunch of different ones. His builds come out beautifully and he’s who I watched when I first started. Make sure you always check out the reviews so you’ll kinda have an idea of what problems to expect so that when it inevitably happens you can quickly catch it
Thank you so much for your content. That was chocked full and I was taking notes FAST. So glad for rewind.
I am starting with zero clue on how to run one, but am determined to make 3d refrigerator magnets and want 'something good'. There are so many choices and prices run the gamut.
I subscribed and look forward to more videos
I'm at the very start of researching 3D printing. One of my interests is taking a photo image and printing an action figure like print. Can you point me in the right direction on how to take a photo using what software to turn it into a 3D model to then send to the 3D printer. Any help you can give is appreciated
what a great video. I've been on the fence about getting one for a while and, with some of the custom one off stuff I've had to buy for projects that a 3d printed piece would've done the job, I could've bought several printers.
Exceptionally helpful! Thank you so so much for this. I am so glad I ran across you. I don't have a printer yet, just looking into what I may be getting myself into first.
Good video as I’m starting to research and learn before buying a printer. Very comprehensive and reading some comments as well.
The best 101 video about 3d printing in the RUclips. And for the amount of information and the way it was presented this wasn't a long video at all.
I'm excited to begin the 3D printing .. I order the printer already and just trying to make sure I have the basic ideas before I even begin. So your video helps me a lot ! thank you a thousand times ✌🏼
Very helpful information. I've considered one of these for awhile.
This video is brilliant and very informative thank you for taking he time to make it.
What do you consider the ideal modeling software if you wanted to design and print motorcycle fairings and custom plastic parts for large-scale model kits (think 1/6th scale RC model crafts). I have a list from what I've researched, but I would like a professional's input. Oh, also, the goal is to get into carbon fiber materials. Either printing the models, and laying the CF, or printing CF directly. Not sure if the software would affect this or not.
Great video. Got a gist of 3D printing. Can you please suggest some of the groups where anyone can get help for troubleshooting including yours.
The video I watched prior to this, tried to be entertaining but failed to teach me anything at all. Your video was everything I was looking for, informative, well thought-out and extremely useful. Thank you.
awesome video, thank you. been looking at all brands and I think I like this the best. Can you tell me the difference between the LGTLK4Pro and the LK4X?
Sorry went you say at the end about turning the model around to print the object with little or no supports, the model you have is Mario, I’m just wondering could you print it lying on its back so you don’t need any supports
I really want to get into 3D printing! im saving up for a printer now, and i cant wait to start! I even actually have a couple of models picked out
Incredible video. Thx for do much information for a newbie myself. I will get my 3D printer Neptune 4 pro next Monday If DHL doesn't screw it up 🤣
I first thought you just doenloaded the file and could print.. Didn't know you needed to slice it. So something new I just learned. Also I need to get a PC. I hope my old I2 core dual with 4GB will do, hope it will works.
Thx again for this great helpful video
We know that Cura is already on the J1.. but limited..as we already printed every sample object snapmaker offers. For some reason we can't get the right ( white ) PLA and Left Orange PLA to work ..swap for 2 color obects..
I am new to 3D printing. It seems like some things I would like to do could be achieved using this amazing technology. Is there a forum you would suggest where someone could answer some of the questions I have before I get started?
Really good video man. Smart, clear speaking, task and purpose informative!
Is it possible to tell if a nozzle is worn by measuring the diameter of extruded filament?
I’ve never tried that but it’s not a bad idea. You can buy replacement nozzles pretty cheap so if I have a suspicion that a nozzle is wearing I’ll just replace it. They’re about 25 cents each on Amazon unless your printer needs a proprietary kind.
Wow man, what an awesome video, great for a newbie like me. Thanks for taking the time to create and share!
Thank you for your video on this topic. I'm considering investing on my first 3D printer but would prefer to start with a multi color 3D printer. After printing the first little test boat my first wish for printing an item would be a stormtrooper suit for my ten-year-old. Would love to know if you have made any reviews on multicolor 3D printers as of yet?
Very informative video, but I wish someone would also include the type of computer you need to operate a 3D printer.
Any. Literally any.
Great video. I'm debating on getting into this for some ideas for my small business. I subscribed and didn't even realize the time was going long because it was well explained info. Thanks
How long does it typically take to print something like, say, a 7”x10” headband with hole patterns?
inserting m5 tool stops for cool downs, checks, alarms. i inserted them in the g-code doing cnc during tool changes, an idea.
26:56 just skip to there and you will find a short step by step guide
Can we use someone's else code to print 3d model in my 3d printer.?
Can same apply for cnc like taking someone else g code on my cnc machine to make same cuts?
Did you ever make that filament video? I'd love to see it.
I started 3D printing two years ago I went with the Ender 3 I have upgraded all my machines according to my printing needs and I liked that concept of taking a basic printer and making it what I need to get the job done if I had bought already together printers with all the upgrades I have added to my machines I would not have learned as much as I have with my printers the thing I love about 3D printing there are printers for just about everyone so I think cost is really irrelevant it's more about what your needs are and for me for the creality Ender 3 met my needs it has the biggest community it's the most popular printer out there and its parts are relatively cheap and easy to install but what I love about the hobby is there really is no bad choices as to what you want whether it's a bamboo Labs or the printers you were showcasing or Ender 3

what printer would you recommend i should start out with
The one in this video really is a good option. I trust the Longer brand. A lot of people like to use Creality ender 3-D printers. If you have enough money, I would definitely consider Bambu Lab‘s printers as well.
Couldn't agree more. I started with Creality, then an Elegoo, and then a Bambu. It was a long road to the Bambu, but well worth the price. Still have the Elegoo, gave the Creality to a really awesome friend who wanted a good starter. Love the channel. Keep it up!
@@The3DPrintingZoneI second bamboo lab, the p1p has been my 1st printer and both it and bamboo labs program have been extremely beginner friendly.
Ender 3 Pro
Neptune 4 pro
I am a beginning beginner with the goal of making hand splints and casts for kids. I’m all set on the medical side for measuring, designing, and recommending a particular splint, but I know nothing about which printer and material to choose. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Bambu labs has some good printers
Thanks for the help! This was a great guide
I want to mention here, this video is very helpful for me, because it helps me to be properly directed in my specific objective to design and cast up to 8 inch ABS housing for printed circuit board devices. Which models are the best to cast small 8×4×2 boxes?
I have invented a small tool which requires a simple handle. What is the most economical way to do this please? The best printer for turning out handles? And the best filament to use for making a tool handle?
This is the first VDO about 3D printing in my life. I am searching any hobbit could be mine after I have been working more than 10 years without hobbies. Thanks for good info
Excellent and interesting presentation. Ken (UK)
I understand Bambu's lower-res P1S or X1C are FDM printers (hot glue guns) that support PT, PLA, ABS and carbon fiber material.. but what kind of materials are used in the higher resolution SLS/SLA (resin+uv) printers?
Aside from speed and the volume size of the print, how does the technology differ from industrial 3d printers (Stratasys Fortus 450mc, sPro 60, Essentium, Fusion3 F410)? Is it that those support even more exotic materials (Peak Victrix AM 200)? Or is it about the software (Orca Slicer , FlashCloud support, etc)?
This was the best tutorial. Thank you.
Great job with just right important details !
What 3D printer should I buy
Not sure if you've gotten one yet, but I have the longer printer as seen in the video here as well as a bamboo lab p1p and they've treated me extremely well. They've been both my first and second printer and being new to printing I found both the printer and programs they come with very easy to learn to work.
@@redhawkseye7099 Thanks
Subscribed! I just got one...and am geared to learn first and then do...this vid helped, thanks
So glad it helped!
@@The3DPrintingZone ❤
Thank you for such a helpful and informative video
Can you use the carbon fiber filament on this longer
I got an anycubic mega x. I'm brand new to 3D printing and currently trying to figure out how the heck to use it. If anyone has tips for that specific printer please let me know! Thanks
you said if multiple fillements /colors are fed into the same hot end you cant change the tempatures.... can you edit the program at all so you can add in the command to change the temp?
Great video, the reason I started watching 3D printing is because I saw a video of using strips of a recycle plastic bottle being use as filament. Is this technology close to the market?
What is your take on using recycling material to create 3D items?
Great question. I haven't tried the bottle strip filament yet because it seems like there would be issues with inconsistency. The 3D printer nozzle requires a pretty precise measurement of filament to have consistent and error-free layers, but I know people have done the bottle filament successfully so I think it'd be worth a try at least!
Question: I want to buy a Longer LK5 Pro, but the ones I see online do not have the automatic leveling device seen in this video, is that aftermarket?
I ordered a Longer LK5 Pro 3D based on this video. Found a screw bushing that fell out and was missing one of the bolts. Emailed support - no response after 24 hours. Went to hardware store to see if they had anything, but bolt is too small. Initiated return process. Will try a different model. Disappointing for my first 3D printer.
With this video and others I've watched, the word "SLICER" seems to be used in various contexts. For example, this tells us to Step 6: print off a model that came with the printer. Then LATER (Step 9) you tell us to find and download Slicer Software. SO HOW could we have printed that model that came with the printer without already having a Slicer? WOULDN'T the printer COME WITH a Slicer? It seems inconceivable that it wouldn't.
new subject: @23:55 you tell of under or over extrusion. SHOW US what that looks like. Please.
I want to get one for my 7 year old who crafts alot, under my supervision. Plus I want one.. so you think that's good? I got him into STEM and think this would be awesome
I need help finding a slicer or program which is easy to learn with my 9 and 10 year old.. We started with Tinkercad..but for some reason we make something and then can't transfer G code to our snapmaker J1.. Prusa keeps loading and then that soft ware keeps saying can't export G code too or it doesn't work with our apple laptop which is updated to the latest software.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:13 🖨️ FDM and Resin 3D Printing: FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) involves melting filament layer by layer, while Resin 3D Printing uses UV-curable resin for each layer.
02:33 🧤 Resin 3D Printing Safety: Resin 3D printing uses toxic resin, requiring gloves and a respirator for handling uncured prints.
03:01 🖨️ Key Parts of an FDM 3D Printer: Understand components like the bed, hot end, extruder, gantry, power supply, logic board, stepper motors, and more in an FDM 3D printer.
04:38 📐 3D Models and Slicing: 3D models start as STL files, which are sliced by software (like Cura) into G-Code instructions for the printer.
05:47 🧩 Slicing Software: Popular slicing software includes Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, IdeaMaker, and MatterControl, with settings for print parameters.
09:32 🔧 Support and Infill: Supports help prints bridge gaps, infill determines interior solidity, and layer height influences print resolution.
11:10 🔍 Layer Height: Lower layer heights offer higher print resolution, but settings should match your nozzle size.
12:47 💾 G-Code Transfer: G-Code files generated by slicers are transferred to 3D printers via SD cards, micro SD cards, USB drives, or wireless connections.
13:29 🌈 Filament Types: Common filament types include PLA, PETG, and ABS, with various specialty filaments offering unique properties.
16:57 🌐 Multiple Filaments: Some 3D printers support multiple filaments at once, allowing for multicolor or multimaterial prints.
17:12 🔧 First Layer: Achieving the perfect first layeris essential for a successful 3D print; automatic bed leveling or manual leveling with a piece of paper can help.
19:03 🚀 Step-by-Step Process: The video provides a comprehensive overview, from unboxing your 3D printer to slicing and printing your desired model.Is there anything else you would like to know or any specific topic you'd like to explore further?

Nice beginners guide. I learned a lot. Will be considering the longer LK5 Pro
Issues with overfilled thumb drive that causes transfer issues and halts the print, which can cause overextrusion is a specific spot.
Does the longer LK5 pro have auto bed leveling?
I'm thinking about getting into 3D printing and I might go for a resin printer for the first one does the resin ever dry up on its own or evaporate I assume it probably does and if so how fast so if I'm only printing one or two things every couple weeks will that be a problem
I want to get started in printing as a hobby and also business. This was a good way to start. Thank you.
Best of luck!
@@The3DPrintingZone Is there a specific laptop you would recommend to use for the programs???
Im getting started with 3d printer, its very helpful this video, but am i crazy to just go for a neptune 3max as a first printer ? I want to do some big projects 😅
what is the two websites featured at 5:29 and 5:32?
So.. I need some help/advice, I want to buy a printer, for using it to sell models/things and etc. Slight problem, I live in a flat, and the only possible place for me to put it is in my bedroom, along my work desk. So my needs are, that it has decent quality for using it to sell models (I know that some are not Ideal and later on touch ups are needed), second crucial aspect wether is it possible to find one, that lets say is closed and does not produce any smell, and the price range for a first timer I could spend up to a 1,000 euros. Please give some advice for this newbie!
Great video, very informative. I want to print prototype electrical components. Some of these have to operate at 180 -200 celsius and have a UL94 V0 rating. Is there a preferred option of printer to produce these parts? I think I will need to use a PET material. Would you be able to comment on this? Many thanks.
I am getting into 3d printing for boardgame accesssories. What determines the color of filament I choose?
Most of the time it shouldn’t matter. Pick whatever color you’d like 😃 just make sure it’s the correct material
Thank You For Your Video..My Husband Gave Me A 3D Printer For Christmas..I Had Knowledge About A 3D Printer...🎄🌠You Video Was Very Awesome
I know nothing about printing..so hoping bthis points me in right direction
Do you prefer open or closed printers
As someone who want to get into the 3d printing businesses I have so much info into what printer I should start with thank to you guys, now my question is I would need a computer or laptop and I can't seem to find much on where to start I woul prefer a laptop but is even possible if so wich one or do I need a desktop computer?! Thank in advance 🙏🏽
It shouldn’t really matter. Three faster the complete, the better if you’re slicing large items with many faces.
Great video! Thanks. I stopped it often to take notes. Can't wait to set up my printer :)
Perhaps you could help me with something
I would like to buy a 3- D printer but
I live very close to a train track which shakes the building
Would I be better off farming out the job.
This video was PERFECT! Thank you so much!
This is so intimidating for a beginner 101 class. How many times do you say it depends it depends. It depends. There's so many brands and so many software selections, How does a beginner even get started? This is way over the average Joe's head . I truly appreciate your effort though. Thanks
Very helpful.... Thanx a bunch buddy.
