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.
"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!
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.
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!
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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 😕
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

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.
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.
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 ✌🏼
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 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!
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
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.
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
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
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.
Just ordered my first 3D printer, so this was a very helpful intro. Yes, it was 30 minutes long, but it’s also chock full of good beginner info (at least, it told me a lot of things I was wondering about). Looking forward to my first prints!
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
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 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?
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?
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?
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.
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 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?
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
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!
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!
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
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 🙏🏽
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 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)?
Done my bed level, done the square test print, go to slice my own STL file, go to print and no matter what settings i try, i just cant get the extruder to supply filament, so my print just ghost prints.
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 the insights! We’ll put together and it makes me more confident setting up the Printrbot I snagged from Facebook… 🤞 maybe I’ll print my first thing today
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 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
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 😅
This probably wasn't the best video to watch as an interested prenewbie to 3D printing. LOLOL 30 mins isn't long for a "teaching" video (I watch crocheting videos 3x as long, lol), it's ALL the info crammed into that 30 mins. My head was spinning and now I'm no longer interested in 3D printing, lolol. You did a superb job in explaining everything...for those somewhat familiar with the process, the techy stuff, and logistics, but for someone who knows absolute zero about this, it was overwhelming. For everything you explained, I would need a course in 3D Printing for Dummies, lolol. This was simply not "dummy" enough for me, lolol. I still gave the video a like though, I hope that helps ease the pain of this passive-aggressive comment from a prenewbie. 😉
You just wanted to be a arsehole nothing less. Next time put more effort into learning about 3d printing, rather than thinking of what you can moan about 😊
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
If you don't mind me asking in your opinion what's a good price for a beginner to buy a printer. Like what would it cost on average?
@@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

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?
I know the Bambu Lab printers tend to get very good reviews. They are worth checking out.
We also live in Hawaii..so now we are experiencing Humidity issues with our filaments
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.
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
Excellent intro video 👍
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?
I would like to print a section of bionic arm which learns its action by AI. Like arm extension with five joints.
Did you ever make that filament video? I'd love to see it.
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
Which are the Best 3D printer and prize please ❤❤❤
Do you prefer open or closed printers
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.
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
Everything seems less scary now I’ve watched this video!
Glad to hear it!
it's professional video
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!
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
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 🙏🏽
goovideo sir, u help me alot, thx
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..
Stl is standard tesselation
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)?
Done my bed level, done the square test print, go to slice my own STL file, go to print and no matter what settings i try, i just cant get the extruder to supply filament, so my print just ghost prints.
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.
Thank you for the insights! We’ll put together and it makes me more confident setting up the Printrbot I snagged from Facebook… 🤞 maybe I’ll print my first thing today
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
This is a good video
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
Abernathy Spring
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 😅
Can u make everything with that printer
This probably wasn't the best video to watch as an interested prenewbie to 3D printing. LOLOL 30 mins isn't long for a "teaching" video (I watch crocheting videos 3x as long, lol), it's ALL the info crammed into that 30 mins. My head was spinning and now I'm no longer interested in 3D printing, lolol. You did a superb job in explaining everything...for those somewhat familiar with the process, the techy stuff, and logistics, but for someone who knows absolute zero about this, it was overwhelming. For everything you explained, I would need a course in 3D Printing for Dummies, lolol. This was simply not "dummy" enough for me, lolol. I still gave the video a like though, I hope that helps ease the pain of this passive-aggressive comment from a prenewbie. 😉
You just wanted to be a arsehole nothing less. Next time put more effort into learning about 3d printing, rather than thinking of what you can moan about 😊
I am getting into 3d printing for boardgame accesssories. What determines the color of filament I choose?
BEst VIedooooooooooooooo man U EARNED RESPECT+++++
