when i first looked at 3d printers they where like $1,000 for a "cheap" one. now they are only $69? lmao it's amazing what competition and upscaling production does to prices. i'm glad i held off on getting one, by the time i actually want one, the ones for under $100 will be insanely good.
@@AmberLB93 yeah small/medium CRTs you needed both hands, worried about your back & dropping on toes. Early LCDs were lighter, but still heavy 15-20lbs. To wall mount them you had to be careful. Tv's now are super light I could pick up a 60inch tv with one hand if it wasn't so wide under 5lbs is my guess. When I upgraded my tv I thought there was no tv in the box
@@idealmasters Where's the proof of hyper inflation? Tvs are still as cheap as ever. Inflation is normal, but you should be worried about stagnant wages.
It's very important to keep in mind one of the features you're cheaping out on is safety. There's no telling if mintemp, maxtemp, and thermal runaway detection are there. It might be the Anet A8 all over again. Yes they're cheap, but it might be worth springing for something that is known to have at least the bare minimum for safety.
That's true, although you could do a simple test if it has any basic safety functions enabled just by unplugging the thermistor and attempt to run a print without the thermistor it should see it's maximum temperature? and if it all comes to a grinding halt then it's likely a really good deal but for piece of mind it's probably worth going through and upgrading any of the connectors that see a reasonable amount of current like the hot end and power input connectors.
I do not recommend that you get this 3d printer, this video is for entertainment purposes only. It is worth spending the extra $100 to get an Ender 3! I AM STILL GETTING COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE BUYING THIS PRINTER. *DO NOT BUY* THIS IS SATIRICAL AND NOW AN ACTUAL REVIEW.

Not that bad at all. It's definitely worth getting when you're printing big projects with your main printer, but want to print a couple of small things on the side. You won't be making any of the "cool" stuff with a build plate of 100x100, but it's definitely great for a backup.
Yeah it looks like it would be pretty good for when you’re modding your printer and you broke or forgot one of the parts you need to mod it so then you have to reassemble the printer you just spent 2 hours disassembling.. Not that that’s ever happened to me before...

Side note, the flex in the car bonnet is there to cushion the impact when a pedestrian lands on it. Would be simple to make it rigid but it is not desirable to crack every pedestrian's skull upon contact..
Also, pretty much all body panels, plus front and back structures, are designed to crumble in specific ways on impact to save the occupants. Only the inner cell where the occupants go (and some door structures) is designed to be as rigid as possible to survive impacts.

I remember my first DYI Tevo printer for almost 200 dollars. It took me like a month to set it up to print this decent. I had to do many upgrades to it to make it print really nicely. This for 69? An amazing bargain. Very useful as a secondary printer for first raw prints.

Basically, it is to verify that the child will cope with the problems that will gradually accumulate. If a child or adolescent does not have technical predispositions, he should not deal with 3D printing. This is because the 3D printer cannot be operated as an inkjet photo printer that can be operated by anyone and does not require maintenance by disassembling the elements and understanding the mechanisms.

Also just toss the filament that comes with it in the trash and buy a roll of something decent. You can also find a heated bed add on for about 20 bucks for them. If you're on the fence, don't be.
I like these "it just doesnt work" type of comments from people who buy a 3D printer and just expect it to print like paper! 3D printing is still very much a DIY machine, you will need to tinker with it!
I find these types of comments/reviews on all sorts of hobby equipment listings lol "drone was too weak, couldn't deliver an anvil to my jobsite 500 miles away" "drone was too large and powerful, had a miserable time fitting it in my purse and beheaded a few people upon landing in the local park"
Honestly, Amazon reviews tend to leave me wondering more and more how the human race has survived as long as it has. Some of my favorites are on Prime Video, where people will leave a one star review on R rated action movies because "it was violent and had nudity", or one star reviews on ongoing TV shows for "I hate having to wait for the next episode to come out" just because "Netflix shows come out all at once".
Bought one for our 12 year old for $69 also. I printed a freestanding spool holder to use full spools and it works great. Easy to use once you get used to it.
@@MARS-eb8pt For sure you can print figures. The only limit is the size of the printing area. Im printing the Stay Puft guys from Ghostbusters in TPU right now.
I bought the older version of this one when I was hesitant about buying a larger printer. I wasn't sure I would use it enough to justify the price of a bigger one. It worked amazing and I caught the bug and bought a larger printer within a couple of months. Sure I ended up spending more at the end of the day, but it was about risk mitigation. Had I not liked 3D printing, I could have pulled the plug at a much lower initial investment then if I went big right away.

Hmmmm, i can imagine this machine being a "trash printer" to throw in a dark corner of the workshop. Just to churn out functional parts without fancy requirements in quality. It's got a direct drive, so you could propably print flexibles with it.
yeah 3d printers are great for that. Resin printers are even better for the tiny details but regular plastic fdm printers are better for the larger pieces like bridges or tunnels
@@EricVandenbussche I think that in order to paint those parts you need to cover them in primer first . Same process as with normall models. Then you can paint it as you paint other models
@MRLN in Los Angeles Since there's better options out there for still a relatively cheap price if you're willing to look. Me personally, I got the Artillery Hornet and it's been fun to use. Difficult to troubleshoot sometimes, but it's also my first 3d printer and it was about 190 USD. There's other options out there, but the good news is the space is really open if you're willing to look. I'm not really anywhere near an expert though, so I guess take what I say with a side of salt.
No. This is exactly the printer you should get if you are getting your first printer! That is who it's made for, it's made for total beginners. It's super simple and easy to use, it's not confusing and complicated like more expensive printers.
@MRLN in Los Angeles It's like buying a bad car for your first. It'll give you so many issues that would even frustrate an intermediate hobbyist. It could make you drop 3D printing over frustration.
And not much later, he did it, but upped it more than 4x: ruclips.net/video/cxjbrmz9zN8/видео.html&lc=UgwZvQZ_e2k58QXAGjt4AaABAg.9PInEo4ngpz9PR041Zri4v
I'm not into 3d printing, but the title of your video was intriguing. First of all, the quality of your video is extremely good, it was interesting, easy to watch informative and got to the point quickly without feeling rushed. The overall quality of video and sound was every bit as good. Secondly, and this is where I have a bone to pick with you, I now feel compelled to purchase this printer. The one thing I don't need right now is another hobby, and you went and botched that one up. Thirdly, I guess now I'll have to subscribe. Very clever .... very clever indeed. Cheers ...
3D-printing has not been "extremely expensive" for years, you can get a very good 3D-printer like an Ender 3 for less than 200 $/€ these days so this one is cheap, yes, but the difference to "real" printers is not that great.
I mean, I would still consider it a good printer. $69 for a printer that can easily fit on your desk is actually a good deal for high school and college students that lack money and space. You can’t make anything big and crazy with it, but it is a good starting point.
Might be worth getting if you want a dedicated printer for printing small items at slow speeds so you don't tie up your big printer. Can you change to a smaller nozzle?
That's almost exactly what my first benchy on my ender 3 looked like. I had a loose belt on the x axis which caused that. I'd check your tension to see if it's loose.
In my opinion, a printer is good or bad if after a couple of prints, when you need to calibrate it and print fine again, you don't have the urge to throw it on the window. I think a lot of printers can print fine at the beginning, but after usage comes the fun part ❤
Yep and a year and a half later my Prusa MK3s+ is still printing great, I'm glad I did my homework before buying a printer. I may have given up thinking all the failures were from me if I bought a cheap printer. That's what happened to my nephew, he gave up after a short period of time, to many failed prints is discouraging and in the long run between wasted materials and upgrades you end up spending more. Unfortunately not everyone can afford to.
I'm considering getting one of these, simply because my use for a 3D printer would be to make small utilities for home use and also printing parts for dioramas, that would get covered with primer, paints, weathering, etc. For this use, specifically, I wouldn't need awesome detail straight from the print, just a foundation for working on top of. Also, some simple rigs for making elements for dioramas like corrugated roof tiles, brick walls, etc. So, yes, such a low price point 3D printer may actually be quite useful. It all depends on what you intend to make!
Or for schools. Like there is actually a legitimate market for this printer. Even if a school is tight on funding, they can purchase a couple of these for a class or for a club. Hell, if I ever become a high school teacher after spending some time in the corporate world, I would purchase a couple of these so I can teach my students the basics of CAD and engineering.
You know I was thinking about getting one of these... but then I read stuff like this and realize I have no idea what aby of these things mean besides the sd card... nah I'm out of my depth lol
Wow, I kinda see a future where the average printer will be sold for under value and the big money is made with proprietary filament, just like right now with paper printers.
That won't happen as there is 1 big difference. 3d filament is the same for every printer (industry standard of 1.75mm) where ink cartridges are different per model/make printer. If I design a ink printer I can make the ink cartridge however I want (and be the only one to sell them thus $$$) if I make a 3d printer I have to use market standard filament
@@nathanhamers9160 What stops a printer company from inventing their own "filament cartridge"? It obviously can't be just an obscurified filament spool, but maybe with integrated moisturecontrol or I don't know what, probably snakeoil, but if there's money to make, there will be someone that's willing to take it.
When I started out I got a Flashforge Finder Lite. Incredibly sturdy build, pretty much silent, touch screen controls, automatic bed leveling, a drive to store files on, pack of tools for maintenance, including machine lube, and a slicer program. I would 100% recommend to anyone starting out, as its so simple to set up and the instructions couldn't be clearer. 140x140x140. Got mine for $200.
I'll be honest, when I recently got my Ender 3v2 I felt a certain amount of trepidation in what could actually print, even after seeing some RUclipsr's produce excellent result. One month later and I've *very proud* that I only paid £200 for the Ender and didn't splash out more. There's always that question when entering in to the market for such device: Am I cheaping out? Could I spent a little more and get a solid piece of kit or is this just too cheap to be useful and/or a complete pain to use.
This printer shows what an amazing deal sub $200 printers are. However, it shows that a sub $100 printer is pure phantasy. Even a sub $200 printer needs at least $100 in upgrades, and prints, to get it to be useful with more than PLA. People who are not into upgrading firmware and components should be looking to spend more than $300 upfront, in order to have a printer that works for them.
3:33 hey, he watch’s every day astronaut too, also i got the easythreed x-1 as my first printer and gotta say, it was good to learn the basics but i probably should have just gone with a ender 3, like i did after wards, i was able to get over 300 hours out of it though
Not bad at first glance. Possibly the big issues may come with longevity, be interesting to see a "after one year" review. Also after less than a month, it's sold out, with Amazon saying they don't know when more will arrive.
I bought one and was seriously disapointed. Returned it. I would spend more time trying to get out the imperfections than it was worth, but I didn't use more expensive filament, just the trash plastic they provided.
Pretty cool. I don't know what I, personally, would do with it, but... if anyone ever invents a 3d printer which can make food, a team of trustworthy individuals and/or money, just let me know. 😎
In Singapore, there are labs that are researching (and accomplished) 3D printed foods with a healthy balance of nutrients. They basically use gel like filament that's edible with nutrients in them. They can create beautiful designs with it.
@@bvttv4419 mine doesnt have alot of details.. tried to print a stimpack once, had to work FAR TOO MUCH on it to get it look halway decent on any settings
The Monoprice Select Mini V2 is only around $85 these days and honestly it's not a bad little machine at all, I've even gotten it to print TPU pretty well. Biggest downsides are the tiny bed (although i think it's bigger than this one) and the fact that bed levelling and Z offset are both controlled by 4 screws at each corner. Heated bed too
The first commercially available 3D printer, the SLA-1, a resin type, was over $300,000 in 1987. Now, you can buy an FDM printer for $69, and a resin type (Geeetech Alkaid) for $99. No inflation here.
I'm genuinely impressed that I didn't read more comments about how the printer was $69 and the video was 4:20 minutes in length. You've got a pretty mature community here! Haha
My mate said he can build a handgun with one and fire a bullet in it. I said "probably about ten thousand psi of pressure or more" "ok, go ahead, but sign this organ donor form because I need a new kidney.

3D printing is still very much a DIY machine, you will need to tinker with it!
Also the people who leave negative angry comments when it is most likely their own mistakes that caused the problem.
I find these types of comments/reviews on all sorts of hobby equipment listings lol
"drone was too weak, couldn't deliver an anvil to my jobsite 500 miles away"
"drone was too large and powerful, had a miserable time fitting it in my purse and beheaded a few people upon landing in the local park"
🤷🏻♂️ I’ve had better luck 3d printing than paper printing 😅

Honestly, Amazon reviews tend to leave me wondering more and more how the human race has survived as long as it has. Some of my favorites are on Prime Video, where people will leave a one star review on R rated action movies because "it was violent and had nudity", or one star reviews on ongoing TV shows for "I hate having to wait for the next episode to come out" just because "Netflix shows come out all at once".
Bought one for our 12 year old for $69 also. I printed a freestanding spool holder to use full spools and it works great. Easy to use once you get used to it.
Did you have to use a computer to program
@@jasperallan3970 Only need a computer for the slicing software. We use Cura. The included microsd card has a file you can print right out of the box.
Thank you
@@doubletap800 do you think it’s good enough to make figures? Like idk the fire keeper from ds3?
@@MARS-eb8pt For sure you can print figures. The only limit is the size of the printing area. Im printing the Stay Puft guys from Ghostbusters in TPU right now.
I bought the older version of this one when I was hesitant about buying a larger printer. I wasn't sure I would use it enough to justify the price of a bigger one. It worked amazing and I caught the bug and bought a larger printer within a couple of months.
Sure I ended up spending more at the end of the day, but it was about risk mitigation. Had I not liked 3D printing, I could have pulled the plug at a much lower initial investment then if I went big right away.
Can u 3d print firearms?

I just want 2 use it 2 or 3 times 😂
You know as a side hobby and maybe use in cheap small mockups, this is actually pretty decent.
Hmmmm, i can imagine this machine being a "trash printer" to throw in a dark corner of the workshop. Just to churn out functional parts without fancy requirements in quality. It's got a direct drive, so you could propably print flexibles with it.
Sold out , damn hope they get more that is impressive for the price ! Thank you for the detailed video !
Pretty positive that it’s sold out now because of the virality of this exact video. I’ve noticed this before on other products.
That would be great for my hobby of model railroading. I could print up all sorts of plastic things.
Yes and you have always spare plastic parts when needed.
Hi, did you try to paint some printed parts? With what kind of paint?
yeah 3d printers are great for that. Resin printers are even better for the tiny details but regular plastic fdm printers are better for the larger pieces like bridges or tunnels
@@michal_king478 cool thanks
@@EricVandenbussche I think that in order to paint those parts you need to cover them in primer first . Same process as with normall models. Then you can paint it as you paint other models
I think there's a point you didn't address: I would not recommend this particular printer if it's the first time you're dealing with 3D printing
@MRLN in Los Angeles Since there's better options out there for still a relatively cheap price if you're willing to look. Me personally, I got the Artillery Hornet and it's been fun to use. Difficult to troubleshoot sometimes, but it's also my first 3d printer and it was about 190 USD. There's other options out there, but the good news is the space is really open if you're willing to look. I'm not really anywhere near an expert though, so I guess take what I say with a side of salt.
No. This is exactly the printer you should get if you are getting your first printer! That is who it's made for, it's made for total beginners. It's super simple and easy to use, it's not confusing and complicated like more expensive printers.
@@bumblebot2458 WHO WANTS TO SPEND 190 ON A START!?
@@antonymalko2009 you should try getting into the FPV hobby, you'll need around $500 lol
the good hobbies are always the expensive ones sadly
@MRLN in Los Angeles It's like buying a bad car for your first. It'll give you so many issues that would even frustrate an intermediate hobbyist. It could make you drop 3D printing over frustration.
A 4 minute and 20 second long video about a $69 printer?
Nice
Anyone else notice that the vid was also 4:20 long?
You should create a gearbox ratio that goes high to low to high. 1:200:1

Why ?
That looks like a good first 3D printer for someone just starting out.
no it doesnt, it will prob break in a few weeks. Just get an ender 3, thats the bear minimum
I'm not into 3d printing, but the title of your video was intriguing.
First of all, the quality of your video is extremely good, it was interesting, easy to watch informative and got to the point quickly without feeling rushed. The overall quality of video and sound was every bit as good.
Secondly, and this is where I have a bone to pick with you, I now feel compelled to purchase this printer. The one thing I don't need right now is another hobby, and you went and botched that one up.
Thirdly, I guess now I'll have to subscribe. Very clever .... very clever indeed.
Cheers ...
Smallest print plate EVER! That thing is like 80mm when my Ender 3 is a 220mm!!
Bet you can tinker with the settings and make it better.
Or if your smart enough give it new stepper motors.
3D-printing has not been "extremely expensive" for years, you can get a very good 3D-printer like an Ender 3 for less than 200 $/€ these days so this one is cheap, yes, but the difference to "real" printers is not that great.
I mean, I would still consider it a good printer. $69 for a printer that can easily fit on your desk is actually a good deal for high school and college students that lack money and space. You can’t make anything big and crazy with it, but it is a good starting point.
Might be worth getting if you want a dedicated printer for printing small items at slow speeds so you don't tie up your big printer. Can you change to a smaller nozzle?
That's almost exactly what my first benchy on my ender 3 looked like. I had a loose belt on the x axis which caused that. I'd check your tension to see if it's loose.
In my opinion, a printer is good or bad if after a couple of prints, when you need to calibrate it and print fine again, you don't have the urge to throw it on the window. I think a lot of printers can print fine at the beginning, but after usage comes the fun part ❤
Yep and a year and a half later my Prusa MK3s+ is still printing great, I'm glad I did my homework before buying a printer. I may have given up thinking all the failures were from me if I bought a cheap printer. That's what happened to my nephew, he gave up after a short period of time, to many failed prints is discouraging and in the long run between wasted materials and upgrades you end up spending more. Unfortunately not everyone can afford to.
I'm considering getting one of these, simply because my use for a 3D printer would be to make small utilities for home use and also printing parts for dioramas, that would get covered with primer, paints, weathering, etc. For this use, specifically, I wouldn't need awesome detail straight from the print, just a foundation for working on top of.
Also, some simple rigs for making elements for dioramas like corrugated roof tiles, brick walls, etc. So, yes, such a low price point 3D printer may actually be quite useful. It all depends on what you intend to make!
"Theres no power Button"
Power Outlet: Am i a joke to you?
Surge protector: amatures
honestly this seems like a really great option for younger kids, or i see a lot of library and local shops setting up 3D printers.
Or for schools. Like there is actually a legitimate market for this printer. Even if a school is tight on funding, they can purchase a couple of these for a class or for a club.
Hell, if I ever become a high school teacher after spending some time in the corporate world, I would purchase a couple of these so I can teach my students the basics of CAD and engineering.
What firmware is it running? What kind of control board is in it? Does it run standard g-code files? Does is have an SD card slot?
You know I was thinking about getting one of these... but then I read stuff like this and realize I have no idea what aby of these things mean besides the sd card... nah I'm out of my depth lol
@@christopherstevens2777 Never going to figure it out if u dont have one to learn with. Buy it.
@@big_rockstar but its one of those want too not need too buys and right now that isn't happening lol
A $69 printer, and a 4:20 long video? I’m sure this was pure coincidence 😂
THE FACT THAT HE SHOWCASED A $69 3D PRINTER IN 4:20 IS INSANE
Well, this is the video that started my future, money consumer, new hobby.
Wow it really isn't that bad. Better than wooden Prusa i3 clones in terms of quality, for almost half the price
Wow, I kinda see a future where the average printer will be sold for under value and the big money is made with proprietary filament, just like right now with paper printers.
That would be terrible. I hope that doesn't come to fruition.
@@grahamgrecian1332 It'd be a dystopia for sure, but then, most of the time things end up in that direction...
Hopefully the increasingly open sourceness of 3d printing will stop
that from happening
That won't happen as there is 1 big difference. 3d filament is the same for every printer (industry standard of 1.75mm) where ink cartridges are different per model/make printer. If I design a ink printer I can make the ink cartridge however I want (and be the only one to sell them thus $$$) if I make a 3d printer I have to use market standard filament
@@nathanhamers9160 What stops a printer company from inventing their own "filament cartridge"? It obviously can't be just an obscurified filament spool, but maybe with integrated moisturecontrol or I don't know what, probably snakeoil, but if there's money to make, there will be someone that's willing to take it.
When I started out I got a Flashforge Finder Lite. Incredibly sturdy build, pretty much silent, touch screen controls, automatic bed leveling, a drive to store files on, pack of tools for maintenance, including machine lube, and a slicer program. I would 100% recommend to anyone starting out, as its so simple to set up and the instructions couldn't be clearer. 140x140x140. Got mine for $200.
I'll be honest, when I recently got my Ender 3v2 I felt a certain amount of trepidation in what could actually print, even after seeing some RUclipsr's produce excellent result.
One month later and I've *very proud* that I only paid £200 for the Ender and didn't splash out more.
There's always that question when entering in to the market for such device: Am I cheaping out? Could I spent a little more and get a solid piece of kit or is this just too cheap to be useful and/or a complete pain to use.
That's a magnetic bed. That kinda bugged me when he used tools to remove the prints.
I was kinda thinking the same...
This printer shows what an amazing deal sub $200 printers are. However, it shows that a sub $100 printer is pure phantasy. Even a sub $200 printer needs at least $100 in upgrades, and prints, to get it to be useful with more than PLA. People who are not into upgrading firmware and components should be looking to spend more than $300 upfront, in order to have a printer that works for them.
Picked up one of these a few months ago, and have had great results and a great entry to the hobby.
The perfect printer to make a daily Pokemon mini figure.
what was the filament you used that you said you knew was good? 2:42
I use Overture filament mostly: amzn.to/34K4SED
3:33 hey, he watch’s every day astronaut too, also i got the easythreed x-1 as my first printer and gotta say, it was good to learn the basics but i probably should have just gone with a ender 3, like i did after wards, i was able to get over 300 hours out of it though
Not bad at first glance. Possibly the big issues may come with longevity, be interesting to see a "after one year" review.
Also after less than a month, it's sold out, with Amazon saying they don't know when more will arrive.
They got them all over Ebay.
He should've said that the printer was nice since it was a $69 printer
I searched for this comment, thank you.
0:40 it even comes with a 3d printer!!
I got a perfectly working ender 3 v2 at micro center for 75$.
So he reviewed a 69$ printer for 4:20 minutes and has 69k subscribers.

Does it have thermal runaway protection? Decent xt60 connector that won't catch fire like ender 3?

Nice.
For a 4:20 review of a $69 printer, I have to say that this is nice
$69 printer and a 4:20 minute long video nice
I bought one and was seriously disapointed. Returned it. I would spend more time trying to get out the imperfections than it was worth, but I didn't use more expensive filament, just the trash plastic they provided.
then try another filament the things it comes with is trash
@@hojeff2815 this is generally the case. The filament you get is always trash.
Pretty cool.
I don't know what I, personally, would do with it, but... if anyone ever invents a 3d printer which can make food, a team of trustworthy individuals and/or money, just let me know. 😎
Not food, but mine can whip up some tea, Earl Grey, room temperature.
There are some.
In Singapore, there are labs that are researching (and accomplished) 3D printed foods with a healthy balance of nutrients. They basically use gel like filament that's edible with nutrients in them. They can create beautiful designs with it.
3D printed food just seems like infinite food to me
i love how this one is the upgraded version of mine that was more expensive a year ago lmfao
Same here... Easy3D X1 model, I think (model names are so generic, that I forget them...)

@@winandd8649 I don't too.
Ok but where's the funny?
@@cryo2156 there isn't a funny
The Monoprice Select Mini V2 is only around $85 these days and honestly it's not a bad little machine at all, I've even gotten it to print TPU pretty well. Biggest downsides are the tiny bed (although i think it's bigger than this one) and the fact that bed levelling and Z offset are both controlled by 4 screws at each corner. Heated bed too
The first commercially available 3D printer, the SLA-1, a resin type, was over $300,000 in 1987. Now, you can buy an FDM printer for $69, and a resin
type (Geeetech Alkaid) for $99. No inflation here.
But why not printing the benchy with a decent filament?
