- I still can't explain how he got his hair like that.
The first $5000 of revenue from this video will be donated to the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation: www.sanjaymortimerfoundation....
I can't set this fundraiser in RUclips itself, because the Foundation isn't a US 501(c)3, which is a requirement to use the feature. The SMF is a registered UK charity, with similar responsibilities to an American nonprofit.
Our Patrons made this tribute possible. This was a difficult but important video for me, and I'm glad I could finish it.

Thanks to E3D for allowing us to tour their factory, setting up SMRRF, and just being great people. Thanks to 3DMusketeers, Josef Prusa, and countless others who helped me understand Sanjay's legacy. Thanks to Sanjay himself for playing a short but crucial role in my channel's history. I still have all those filaments he sent.

Such a beautiful tribute to Sanjay, thank you dearly Zack ❤
As brilliant as Sanjay was on his own, the whole E3D team coming together made sure he has a legacy.
❤
@@edumaker-alexgibson very much so x
Truly. This made me cry. Thank you Sanjay for changing world SO much for the better for all creative nerds present and future, to his mother for encouraging his gifts and passions, E3D team for seeing it and supporting him on his quests, and Zack for sharing this story. The world will never be the same for Makers big and small due to his presence, and his absence.
@E3DOnline I was so sad to hear about Sanjay but I am happy to see the amazing community and company he left behind, you guys rock and continue to make him proud ever day
"He was incredibly supportive of crazy ideas".
My entire business is one of them.
Rest in awesome, Sanjay.
He helped make mine possible, sadly never met the fellow but certainly felt I knew him after meeting everyone at SMRRF
So so many thanks from Sanjay's mum. You captured his brilliance and crazyiness so well 💙💙💙💔💔💔.
❤
Thank you for raising such a wonderful person! Your talk at SMRRF brought tears to our eyes, it was so great hearing what he was like as a kid. I'm sorry the world lost him so early. 💕
@@eponinesg thank you so much, Sanjay kept me on my parenting toes. I'll never tire of talking about him. Come and say hi next year? xxxx
@@shamalagovindasamy9120the pieces of your talk in this video made me think of my mom parenting me. It also inspires me to get back to the crazy antics of my past. Never forget that your son’s impact is also your impact in an indirect kind of way. Whenever my mom gets compliments about her kids she refuses to take credit and just says “I did get lucky being given such great children” but I can without a doubt say at minimum 75% of my positive traits exist because of her and how she raised us and I refuse to let her ignore the part she played. And since your son is no longer here to remind you, I’m going to remind you!
Typing that last part made me tear up a bit, I love my mom and how much she always supported me, the same support you displayed in your speech. ❤
@@Resyektt thank you so much for your words which provided rare comfort, and also to your mother for her influence on you xx
Hi Zac, I am Sanjay’s big brother I just watched your video thank you very much! It was lovely, It kind of summed up the guy.
I’m missing loads as well mate. thanks again.
As a dad with a kid with Autism and Epilepsy and a passion for 3d printing, I was bawling with the fact that Sanjay was also Neurodivergent and who the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation is for. 3d printing has allowed me to bond with my nonverbal child, and connect in a way I never imagined. I'm truly thankful for the innovation Sanjay and you have brought to this community!
"It's not my role to decide whether I have anything to offer". Wise words. A great tribute to a great man.
I can help with that radiation blocking filament! I’ve got access to a digital radiography machine in Colorado and would be honored to contribute to a voidstar video.
Omg sweet! Can you email me and we'll see if we can set something up? B@voidstarlab.com
Worst thing - neither E3D nor Sanjay has a page on Wikipedia. This needs to change.
Zack, this came out so good! AMAZING!
Was so glad to help raise some money by shaving my head! Thank you guys for being there and being awesome!
I think you did them AMAZING justice. Good work, now to find who is cutting onions here.
What's really sad is that people don't generally talk about you like this or give you the amazing praise you deserve until after you're already gone.. 😢
Way to drop a bomb, damn. I barely knew of him and you're telling me he's been dead? His legacy will live on for decades, and what a legacy it is
I didnt know him, but when his mother spoke at SMRRF, I legit cried. Much love
Girl, same. Thanks for hanging out with us while we were there, did you see your half a second cameo in this video?
@eponinesg no, thank you for putting up with me for the weekend haha. Yeah :) thank you x
Thank you for listening to me Kirsty. Much love from Sanjay's mum xxx
I had never heard of Sanjay, but after watching this you made me feel like I lost a friend too. I'm glad to know he existed, and still exists in the mark he left on the world - one that will undoubtedly be a little better because of him. Thanks for making this and thanks for sharing it
surprisingly this was exactly what i needed. i just got let go from a worksite today, the whole time i'd been worried that they were uncomfortable but being autistic i couldnt say for certain and couldnt put a pin one what i was doing, but just earlier i got a text from my boss saying that the site i was working had specifically asked me not to work there anymore. i feel ashamed, i feel gross, but this reminded me that there is space for my joy, space for my needs, im not forever doomed and i won't be remembered as "that creepy guy who worked here for a month"
i don't need to marry my failures i need to pursue what brings me joy and ill find a space for me. its amazing seeing someone like me so fondly remembered and beloved for all of his traits, not just the ones that made him a good worker.
rest in peace Sanjay
Wow, what did you do?
I'm sorry you lost your job. It feels like someone punched you in the gut when it happens.
Life will get better and a much better opportunity will come along
@@aliveandwellinisrael2507 like i said, no clue. i was working security at a patagonia and they never told my manager why they took me off the site, they just said "get him out"
@@melindarm1975 thankfully it was only a contract, i work security and am still employed, and my manager was chill about it, told me she'd make sure to keep me off public facing contracts since they stress me out, which is awesome imo
@@aliveandwellinisrael2507The whole point of the OP is that they had no idea what they did wrong
I won’t ever have a chance to thank Sanjay for his contributions to the world, but I can thank you, Zack, for yours. Including for this video, which taught me a lot about Sanjay and his work.
SMRRF was incredible, thank you Sanjay
I'm ashamed to say I had never heard of Sanjay but I'm new to the world of 3D printing. Thank you for this beautiful introduction and tribute! May you rest in peace, Sanjay.
“it's not my role to decide whether I have anything to offer” - This made me burst into tears. It hit really close to home. Thank you for this tribute to Sanjay, it was beautiful.
Thank you for eloquently expressing the feeling we all felt at SMRRF. Sanjay’s loss hit hard. I’m beyond grateful for all he has done for our community and glad to see his work and passion continue.
I had the pleasure of meeting Sanjay at ERRF '19. He gave me a one on one rundown on the Hemera (at the time still called Hermes, iirc). Absolutely one of the coolest people I've ever met. I still admire how passionate he was about his work. I was intrigued and excited about the extruder before I saw it in person, but I was one of the first people to order when it was available. It's still the best part of my primary printer. When I saw he was gone I honestly cried out in disbelief. I felt like I lost a friend, and it still hurts. Thanks for sharing this tribute.
i went to MRRF in 2023 and the same passionate energy permeated every booth occupied by a fellow nerd.
honestly, it was the first time in years that i actually felt like i belonged somewhere. Sanjay lives on in our machines and i won't forget his unhinged passion.
"He Would Dive Into That Rabit Hole And Bring A Shovel" That Is Now One Of my Favorite Quotes lol
I'm sad I never learnt of Sanjay until this video. But I want to say that if it wasn't for Void Star Labs my dad wouldn't have agreed to buy my family a "communal" 3D printer that we used a lot (my dad is the primary user of it now since he uses it to print stuff for his miniature train diorama)
I had an inadvertent email interchange with Sanjay 4 or 5 years ago. I sent a flame-mail to E3D about some slight I thought I had incurred from the company. He replied with a serious yet heart-felt email apologizing. I was affected due to the authenticity. I'm sorry to learn that he is gone, even at this late date.
Sanjay's legacy lives on in the entire 3d printing community, which is honestly the best community of any "hobby" out there. Endless collaboration, support of competition, and all around friendly folks.
I miss him dearly, he was such an integral part of the first years. Thank you for the Hommage
"giving people the chance to turn you down" says it all, I live by that as well and wish I had the opportunity to meet him. Working at JPL I do have some opportunities to "ramble" but often feel it becomes to much and off-putting. Fighting the flight feeling is a challenge. Wish I knew of more groups that I could participate in.
although I cant afford a 3D printer, I am a huge fan of them, and the liberty it gives the common person to make their own products, Thank you Sanjay and Thank you E3D, Rest in peace
I could send you one, where in the world are you?
@@malloott thank you so much, but I can’t accept, I am in eastern Europe so I am fortunate that I have a stable life, I’ll buy it in a couple years, I just can’t right now, thank you again
@@WWFYMN, A piece of advice provided you are receptive... I got into 3D printing by purchasing a broken one from eBay for pennies on the dollar. I worked on it until it finally functioned as expected. When I was done, I learned far more about how they work than I would have if I bought one off the shelf. In the end it worked out well for me. It may not be for everyone but it is certainly an option.
@@ewasteredux I got my 3d printers new, but I will add to your comment by saying that I learnt a lot more by fixing them after I messed something up while tinkering than when they were printing perfectly fine.
@@ewasteredux A lot of time the ebay used or returned printers work right out of the box or only need one part too, so it's by far the best way to get a cheap printer if they're available where you live.
Thanks. I needed this. Sanjay's story was not how his life ended, it was how it was lived. Justice served. Gratitude expressed.
"It's not my role to decide if I have anything to offer." Now that's a killer quote.
Why did I tear up at Sanjay Squirtimor?
I have a small 3D printing business and I've never owned or used an FDM printer (I work with SLA/SLS) but I can certainly respect the passion and innovation Sanjay brought to the hobby. I hope we have many more minds like his in the future to further interest and development in our hobbies and businesses!
What is it I need some resin prints made
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895This person said they work with SLA (I forget what exactly that stands for, maybe Selective Laser Annealing?) and SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) neither of which have anything to do with resin other than a vague resemblance. Both SLA and SLS are metal 3D printing specific if I remember correctly.
@@nikkiofthevalley SLA is stereolithography and is resin printing. It has sometimes been done with lasers but moved to the current techniques due to modern LCDs which were not available when it was created. SLS is the metal type due to sintering.
@@iskierka8399 Sorry, really should've looked that up.
Just donated on Sanjay's behalf... rip. Thank you for everything you have contributed to this hobby
It was a real pleasure talking to you at SMRRF. What a wonderful heartfelt tribute to Sanjay. I never got to meet him but feel I know him, I got quite emotional watching this. Thank you, this year I'm going to finish my unfinished projects and that is all your fault. 😊
Brilliant video, I had the absolute pleasure to work for E3D for 6 months and Sanjays infectious enthusiasm is something I'll never forget ❤
Hey Chris, we hope you’re doing well! ❤
I don't understand how it's possible to identify with someone you've never met, never will, didn't have a 3D printer until literally a month ago. Yet now I feel sad that I never met with someone who, at a human level, respect so much, is such an amazing individual, smart, energetic, hungry and enthusiastic about for creating in general and, above all else, he was kind, that's so rare these days, RIPLA Sanjay, may your prints live on forever (or until they get eaten by UV rays, or biodegrade)
So beautifully and touchingly presented. Thanks for all the memories, Zack -Courtney
Did not know this man, also only printing for six month but I guess thanks a lot to this passion and work done for all our hobby!
Also sad for loosing someone so young.
Wait what is this, why am I crying at a Zack Freedman video, I'm very confused but also deeply, deeply touched and I...oh wait, no that makes sense, THAT'S why I'm crying ❤
i was not prepared to cry this tuesday morning Zack.
I've been out of the loop for a while. I had no idea that Sanjay had passed. I liked that guy (and that's why I clicked on this video).
I do miss him although I barely knew him.
I can tell that you, too, loved Sanjay very much - this was beautiful, Zack
Thanks for everything Zack! My bed levelling wheels removed themselves printing the circle game knife, and now I have to level my bed from scratch. You did that.
Going to change my email signature to "The value of my ideas is not up to me."
Love VoidStar Labs and can't wait to see what you're up to next!
"If you can or won't share enthusiasm, it's time to change" I love this thought
Seems to me Sanjay was a force of nature. I'm grateful to have learned a little of him, and heartbroken for those who were close to him. RIP brother.
That's a beautiful tribute Zack. I'm sorry you lost someone special so early, I've been there and it really sucks.
The Revo is a triumph of engineering, a worthy successor to the very successful V6 that itself set the standard for hotends in hobbyist 3D printing. That's not marketing, that's my experience and the experience of many others. The big flaw of the V6 in my opinion was the fact that you had to hot-tighten the nozzle and I was never sure if it was tight enough, I always got leaks at the heater block. Putting the threads way up in the heatsink is a brilliant solution that should be the standard even if that means more pricey nozzles.
My mind has been blown away by the Hemera extrusion system. Sanjay is the GOAT 3D printing engineer.
Thanks for your beautiful words, I'll give it a shot.
I hadn't heard of the hero until your video. Thank you.
Sometimes candles that burn out the fastest, burn the brightest. The light Sanjay shone still glows and will continue to glow. I never knew him, he never knew me, but he was my friend and I miss him dearly. I watched the SMRRF stream and it was amazing to see his legacy in action. Thank you for this tribute of a wonderful human being.
The entire show had an incredible vibe that's a testament to the community around the hobby.
I never expected a void star lab video to bring me to tears
I only knew Sanjay thorugh show room youtube videos here on youtube. yet every time i see his face or hear his name I feel the loss. His energy and enthusiasm radiated through the screen. He will always be a giant in the 3d printing space.
Didn’t know I was going to cry this early in the morning. It’s ok though, it was a good cry. Thanks Zack.
I was just thinking of Sanjay while I was at work today. Thanks for reminding me of why I still think of him so often.
Fantastic video Zack! I knew how influential E3D was in 3D printing world, but until I watched your tribute it was "just an engineering company from the UK". Now I truly admire years of passion and innovation that Sanjay and his team put into 3D printing world. Such a shame I won't be able to meet this brilliant person :(
Thanks for putting this together, I never got to meet him. I knew that he gave a lot to this community and I can see how he is sorely missed. And now I know why.
This was really inspirational for me. Sanjay sounded like an awesome human. It’s a great reminder we need to get out of our own heads, our own fear, and show our passion to the world.
Great tribute! Although I only got to speak to him a couple of times, it's obvious just upon the first meeting that Sanjay was a force of nature that propelled the consumer/hobbyist 3D printing market by will and enthusiasm alone...not just by developing and selling well engineered products that we all needed to succeed, but by constantly being enthusiastic and positive about other people's projects as well.
This man pretty much shaped what 3D Printing looks like today, and its really such a shame that good people have to leave early.
You had me crying with this video, thanks for this beautiful tribute and sharing the essence of the festival.
I never heard of Sanjay untill a few days ago when another tuber posted a video and metioned him. Watching this left me feeling the loss. He is the kind of person I would have loved to know.
I have never met someone who I could bounce idea's back and forth with and pump up my enthusiasm like the way you described. He must have be truly inspirational to have a conversation with..
Thanks for sharing this heart felt tribute video.
This is such an amazing tribute Zack. It's a privilege to learn about someone who made such an impact, and I appreciate your willingness to dig through a difficult emotional place to share this.
Also “It’s not my role to decide if I have anything to offer” gives me a totally new perspective on my self worth, and I hope you know the impact you're having with what you're doing as well.
As somebody who still uses an E3D v6 hot-end on a printer that still looks very much like the one shown at 5:45 despite many years of upgrades (and hardly any original parts still present), I can confirm even "good" hotends from the time were hot garbage and the E3D v6 is and was a revelation. Rest in peace, you influential lunatic.
This was a really nice tribute. I hadn't heard of Sanjay before, so it's great you are making his story known to a wider audience. It's a tragedy he had such a short life, but it sounds like he really inspired a lot of people. That level of chaos sounds infuriating and magical at the same time!
“You have to give people the chance to turn you down because that’s the price of letting others take you up” that’s now one of my favorite quotes.
Zack, thank you for telling me about this guy whose life I didn't even know had enriched mine.
Great tribute. You did him proud
There's so much good life advice in this video. Thank you so much for making it, I may rewatch it a few times tbh
I was getting a bit teary-eyed at the end, then you hit me with Sanjay Squirtimer... I blame you for the fluids that went through my nose...
Also, Micah, congrats on the wedding!
A great, if more somber, video. Appreciate you Zack, and you too, Sanjay. Rest well.
Fucking hell, back then his death hit me hard just CAUSE he was so enthusiastic about his stuff. I loved the way he interacted with people, I think cause he expressed the enthusiasm I feel and mostly supress. Making is fun, but hard. You have to have the skills, but mostly you need mental resilience to brake through your issues and finish the damn thing. Seeing him and his example was always great.
I'm sure this video wont perform like another "every filament" one, but this to me is way more important and meaningfull. The self reflection you put out for the whole world to hear must be incredibly hard. I mostly wont allow myself to make such confessions in my head, and you just put them out there.
I'm not good with words, but for some reason this video resonated deeply with me, thank you for that. What a lovely way to tribute one of the most important people to the hobby thats so important to us.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute of a person so influential who I’d never even heard of, despite printing for 6 years now
RIP Sanjay Mortimer
I'm crying. I think I need to quit my day job. I didn't know who Sanjay was, but I know a lot of his stuff and it makes me realize I'm not just a failed maker with bad ideas who's given up and gone corporate to provide for his family. There's so much more that I want to contribute to the world than that. Thank you Zach for making this video ❤
Didn't even know who the guy was and now im crying 5 minutes into the video. This is beautiful
It sounds like humankind was lucky for having them
When I was researching products getting ready to buy my 3D printer, I always wondered why 0.4mm was the "standard" nozzle size. Everything came with that exact nozzle.
I just always assumed it was because some team of PHD engineers tried every possible combination of parts and thats just what worked best.
I never wouldve guessed it was because it was the cheapest drill bits some guy in his shed could afford. But thinking about it now, _of course_ that's how it happened. The entire 3D printing industry is built off of stuff like that.
Thank you Zack, for showing this side of you and introducing me (and I'm sure others) to an Icon in this community. So much more to learn about this than I thought even us old dogs want to learn new tricks. Stay true to you.
Unfortunately I never met Sanjay, yet I felt I knew him through his various appearances on different RUclips creators' videos. His incredible enthusiasm for what seemed like any topic you like was infectious. I could watch him talk for hours. He was an incredible human and leaves both an amazing legacy and a massive hole in so many lives. SMRRF was an awesome, emotional event, especially listening to everyone who truly knew Sanjay share their stories. Thank you Zack for this lovely tribute to one of the brightest stars in the additive manufacturing world.
This was a beautiful tribute. As someone incredibly new to 3d printing, it was a pleasure to learn about Sanjay Mortimer
Well said. The interwebs at its very best - a place for all our obsessions. I’m happy to hear this love for someone I never met but who felt like one of my people.
My brother asked for a 3d printer several years ago for his birthday and had a great time with it but over the years drifted towards other things. I bought him a spool of the wood filament for his birthday last year as a gag gift, I had shared the cursed filaments video with him and he loved it.
Apparently that spool gave him a second wind for the hobby. You inspired at least one person with that series.
Yeah, thanks man! Would’ve never known this story…! He gave us all so much!
Well shit, funny 3DP man made me cry. Really nice words, bud.
This was beautiful and moving. The world needs more people like Sanjay.
I didn't think I'd be that interested in this video, but I did end up wanting you to look behind you. Great tribute and introspective on how we can help each other.
i had no idea who Sanjay Mortimer was or that much interest in 3d printing, but this video was absolutely beautiful and I'll try to apply all these lessons in my own life
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but E3D had another printer the E3D BigBox. It wasn't a viable venture for them in the end but it's worth a mention. Had the chance to buy one and regret not doing so. I like collecting that sort of thing.
A great way to remember Sanjay, thanks Zack. I didn't hear about SMRRF until it was too late - I hope there'll be a SMRRF 2024, with just as many (if not more) awesome makers.
There sure will be, we hope to see you there!
You're one of the best, Zack. I consider myself lucky to get to know you in any sense, and you've taught me quite a lot. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us. We're all better for it.
as this is the first i am hearing about Sanjay Mortimer
he sounds like a man that would not let someone fail because they did not try nor would he let hims self fail for not trying
he also sounds like the kind of person to find things interesting and incorporate them as part of his knowledge even if he never uses it
all i can say is we need more people like him in the world
Zack, both you and your channel have grown, entertained, educated, and inspired. Now I can add made me smile cry. Thank you so much. I didn’t know I needed this beautifully heartbreaking inspiration but it turns out I did. It reminded me that my favorite part of life is the people I share it with and what we share with the world.
He sounds like such an incredible person!
A very touching tribute to Sanjay indeed. It was obvious the emotions were there even though you did a great job of covering them. For some of us, this was the first time we had heard of Sanjay. I can think of no better introduction.
Thanks for the beautiful tribute and the uplifting message. I needed to hear that ❤
Your fast-paced ADD approach is inspiring to me, at my young age of 65. I wish I has known Sanjay. He was one of my biggest inspirations in moving into the world of neurodivergent creativity pointed at self-taught engineering. I wanted him to succeed to know we (of the short attention spans) can actually succeed and leave mark on thew world around us.
What a heartbreaking beautiful tribute. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this. Definitely sounds like someone the world is much poorer for his passing.
There are SO many great quotes in this video. Seriously. Thank you.
"if you share what you love and you love what others share you can transform lives" that hit me like a brick and it has to be the best motto to live by I have ever heard.
I didn’t know of Sanjay before this video, but your tribute has made me wish I did. You’ve also made me want to be that idea amplifier for others. That’s something I didn’t know I needed to hear, but really spoke to me. Thank you.
