You make 25-30 min long videos and manage to make it seem like nothing and make us wanna watch more and you compress HOURS of information into these. Keep up the awesome work man!
Several years late to the party but man. As someone whos a CNC machinist just getting into this hobby. The fact I can get this kinda information for free is asinine to me. You're a godsend and bless your soul man.
Just getting started with 3D printing and your videos have been a LIFE SAVER. 1000000% helped my decision of which printer and the how toos have been a HUGE help.
Your videos are absolutely awesome!!!! I'm just getting started with my first printer a Ender 5 Pro. Your videos are helping me so much!! Thank you!! Looking forward to watching them all!
Hi Frank Im ordering my ender 3 tommorow I've spent all my time after school hours learning of you and other people for like 6hours a day but I played abit on xbox today so less learning and Ive been so focused on this I half failed a test so 😞 but thanks alot ♥️ you!
obviously this is an older video, but I'm just getting into 3d printing with my first printer en route to me and I'm trying to learn everything I can in the mean time. I'm wondering if software like cura is still needed in 2024. I understand that slicing is still a part of the process, as is 3d modeling with something like blender or fusion 360, however not sure exactly where cura fits into the mix. My first printer is the elegoo Neptune 4 plus in case that matters. Thanks for all the vids, your channel has been an invaluable resource to wrap my head around this new hobby.
I bought a printer a few weeks ago because of a video you made on tik tok some weeks ago lol, but Thank you!!! I’m in love with my printer and I’m in the process of making Loki’s Scepter 😅😅 I’m really enjoying it! This would’ve been nice to see a few weeks ago though 😭
Nice my 11 year old son really loves your videos and he made me buy him an ender 3 😅😅 and he has learned so much from you that I’m impressed by him thanks you have gotten him off his screens so he can focus on other thing and 3D prints he says he would really love to meet you 😂😂 but I always tell him no he’s never free
Frank. You suggested SLIC3R. But isn’t that just what is now Prusa Slicer? They do a lot of development on Prusa Slicer, and it’s very capable (even though the interface is a little funky).
Very helpful! This is where I am at tinkering with my files. I will probably put a couple weeks into practicing this ALONE. Now would you do this AFTER exporting to Armor Smith and scaling the armor to print, so you are cutting pieces to the right size? Or... do you cut and slice and then fit the pieces to an armor smith Avatar?
Hi Frank, big fan of your work and really awesome that you do so many tutorial videos for us all. Wanted to ask if all of this can also be done from an iPad? Or does it have to be a PC/laptop?
im in the process of getting my ender 3 pro, and trying to figure out these programs. these videos are amazingly helpful, just a few questions. do i need to install another thing ( instead of cura) such as octo print? once you click slice, does it automatically transfer to the sd card? sorry if i missed it in the video.
You have been very helpful on me understanding these tutorial vids! I appreciate it. I do have a question though. I'm not quite sure how you figure out when you need to add more support to your object. Is there something that I may not be seeing? I'll be honest. I haven't even bought a printer yet but I am definitely going to for MAINLY cosplay purposes. Probably for some other stuff since I do have kids lol.
Hello I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a laptop to run these programs? I am completely new to all this and I’m not sure where to start.
What’s the strongest stuff you can print with? Could you print side skirts and lip kits fir cars? Obviously you’d do it in pieces but would it be strong enough? Thanks!
I like the cgtrader mk85 helmet Bought that one and do3d mk85 Brackets for the motorised system work better for the face plate fits Better with cgtrader helmet I'm looking for a captain American shield file Watching paint and prep videos now gonna try anodized red anodized gold
Wondering how to get my camera to free orbit so I can view it from all angles? It's only letting me view from the top, side, etc. Is there a setting that will allow free orbit?
Frank or any one else, i am in doubt of getting a 5 pro or 3 max, i saw a lot of your videos but i'm still in doubt if a full mandalorian or iron man helmet will fit a 5 pro. Do you have an anwser for me? Greetings from The Netherlands!
Love you work! I'm new to this and was wondering. In the Cura i don't see my printer, Voxelab Aquila X2, any suggestions on a different program or a different printer choice in Cura that would work with the Aquila?
Big fan of your tiktok and RUclips and I'm looking at getting into 3D printing but I prefer tablets and none of mine can use these programs, what would you recommend for computers or tablets?
How did you put the helmet file into Cura? It looked like you just dragged and dropped, but it doesnt work for me. Any setting I should change or something?
@@FranklyBuilt by any computer do you mean laptop as well? Sorry for asking all these questions but I’m trying to get in to the hobby and don’t have any clue at what I’m doing
How's it going, I have a quick question. Maybe you can help me with it. I just got the ender 3 max neo, and I ordered filament.. I went with pla plus, and when I went to set up cura, it said it's not compatible? It printed great with testing the rabbit file with regular pla, but im making mandalorian armor, and I already have the plus. Can I just run pla plus and and keep it under regular pla filament? Maybe just change temp?
Yo franky im 15, i would like to start with 3d printing thingy can you give me some tips about it and.....is ender creality 3 good for printing a helmet and things....if you reply it would be much pleasure
Hi when I import my file it puts a file I wanted to print from before that did not work, now it will only print that and nothing else. This is getting me stressed out and I am confused why it is not working
Do I have to use Cura? Because it never worked for me! I’m using Creality print program and that’s not helping me out. Am I supposed to change something on there or do I need to figure out how to use cura?
Once I slice in cura on my laptop it moves so incredibly slow and it takes forever to review a print. Is there something wrong or does my computer just suck? Lol
It might be your computer, or the size of the model you're slicing. I experienced the same thing but I was slicing a really big model. Later when I sliced smaller things it went much faster
@@william_long1065 I did notice that it goes alot slower and takes alot longer to slice bigger prints..I just get so jealous watching frank manipulate his print reviews so smoothly
@@FranklyBuilt I always do but I fear that I'm gonna miss something stupid like one of those skinny supports that doesn't even touch the print like you've mentioned in a previous video
@@FranklyBuilt I rewatched the video and changed the support density from 20 to 2 percent (somehow missed that part the first time) and that helped alot with how smooth i was able to review the print. It also helped with time and filament usage. Thanks! Your tutorials are top notch!
That tiny cc link under files let me to some weird site that logged me out of my gmail. I recommend you remove it I assume its is trying to install a keylogger, or phish for passwords @Frankly Built
You make 25-30 min long videos and manage to make it seem like nothing and make us wanna watch more and you compress HOURS of information into these. Keep up the awesome work man!
Thanks so much man! I really really tried to keep it under 30 but I couldn’t lol
@@FranklyBuilt the point to make is, you're awesome
Former prototype machine designer. Your videos are training me very quickly!
I'd happily watch an hours long tutorial from this dude! Lol
@@FranklyBuilt can it also work on ipad and Motorola mobile phone as well?🇬🇧

Bravo Frank... Great
Hello Frank...

Would you leave it over night and go to sleep or not. thanks for good content
Yep I leave my printers on for days. Just make sure they have thermal runaway protection
You talk about the temperature tower..how do you do that on cura 5.6.0. You can change temp modding the code with a script. Or can I do it manually?
Haha another mingda....best printers out there
Could you make me a iron man helmet he’s my favorite haha. Also I am thinking about getting the ender 3 is this a good choice?
🔥🔥🔥
o my God what a beautiful
I like the cgtrader mk85 helmet

Hey man! How much do you think one part of the full suit weighs, no electronics?
About 20 lbs total
@franklybuilt will we be seeing an update for this video with the latest release of Cura?

It’s not cracked?
Big fan of your tiktok and RUclips and I'm looking at getting into 3D printing but I prefer tablets and none of mine can use these programs, what would you recommend for computers or tablets?
I use a PC desktop computer for everything
Can you tell me what volts should i be on in the u.s for 3d vyper printer?
cool thanks bit to fast but very helpfull even if i dont buy 3d printer i know now how its work :D
How did you put the helmet file into Cura? It looked like you just dragged and dropped, but it doesnt work for me. Any setting I should change or something?
File load or import
@@FranklyBuilt Thank you!
Hey you probably won’t see this but do you need a specific computer/laptop to 3D print if so please give some examples on what to buy
any computer can be used because the slicers will run on any OS. Might take a bit longer on slower PCs, but that hardly matters.
@@masonl87 what about laptop
@@cnmagic8523 thanks
Any modern computer should be okay
@@FranklyBuilt by any computer do you mean laptop as well? Sorry for asking all these questions but I’m trying to get in to the hobby and don’t have any clue at what I’m doing

I’ve made plenty haha
Hey frank how did you add the custom supports setting?
Go to marketplace at the tops right
Is there any way for you to make a mask for commission? Meaning I buy it from you? Just wondering 😁
Why not Prusa slicer vs ultimate right and mesh maker?
Do you need to own a printer for Cura cause Ill use a free one at my school and I didnt manage to set it up
If I download a temp tower, do I need to change any Cura settings? Same question for other test towers?
Ive got a question, when i went to put in my printer the voxelabs didnt show up so how do i add it

Creality slicer is just old Cura. You can use others tho
What computer do you need I really want a 3D printer but I don’t have a pc and dont have anuf money
Any normal modern PC/Laptop is fine usually
Learning I need to change my nozzle from 0.4 to 0.6 stuff taking abit but mk8 nozzle doesnt screw in right so need to figure this out
You need a mk10 nozzle probably

How do you get the helmet on the ultimaker from your files
Can I use regular support and tree in the same print, if so how?
I am wondering how do you bring over an already sized file from meshmixer to cura?
Just export and save it as an stl or obj
