This is the type of tutorial I appreciate. It is in depth but not talking down to a person and provided an actual example and thorough reasoning behind each decision.
Thanks so much for the comment. That truly is my goal when making these. My favorite saying is you don’t know what you don’t know. So I try to keep that in mind and explain it so anyone can follow. Thanks again and I hope the video helped you!
Thanks for the video. I have a question concerning the Bambu AMS. I purchased the A1 Combo. I also have the A1 Mini. Can I use the same AMS with the Mini? Or, is necessary to purchase an additional AMS unit designed for the Mini? Thanks in advance for your reply. Richard
Great video. Learned a few tips. On the "poop" issue, you can select where the "poop" goes . It can go to infill and/or object and/or supports. Select under "Others"/"Flush Options".
@@ItsMeaDMaDeflush setting don't eliminate poop. the part it doesn't affect is in the beginning of the print, or the startup. On printables I put my poop shoot that has a removable bin from the side. All the others I have seen has the bin in the back. on my printer I don't have easy access to the back. It also has a side spool mount. replacing the rear mount for alternate filaments like TPU.
Your removable side chute sounds great, as well as the TPU-feed compatible side spool mount...! What should we search for in Printables to find these designs...? Thanks ! @@RobertONeillPhotos
you can print a purge object instead of a tower in order to not waste that filament (just a random object with around the same height, for which coloring is not a factor)
If I download a model that has three or four colors that are already in my AMS but the spools are in the wrong location, how do I change the settings in the print to make sure that the correct color prints in the correct spot? Or do I simply have to change the spool locations on the AMS instead?
Just installed my AMS and this was the first video I clicked on. Thank you. I don't need to go watch any other video. Very thorough and doesn't seem to be anything left out.
I just ordered my Bambu A1 and am binge watching your Bambu Studio videos. Thank you for these incredibly in-depth videos with so many examples for everything. Awesome work!
Great tutorial! As far as the waste goes, I thought I read somewhere about people doing their color primes in actual models? Like an additional model where they don't care about the color and color changes that wind up being in it? Simpply run the minimum amount of filament out as "poop" and the actual color/material transition can occur in the prime model. Once your print is complete, you get your focus part as well as a little bonus part instead of a blocky prime tower!
Watched all your vids to learn how to get down the basics at slicing. My class is teaching me CAD but ignores slicing but you've given me plenty to study, thank you. Your vids are better than some 10x your sub count, please keep it up!
Another fantastic tutorial! I’m 3 weeks into figuring out 3D printing. I’m learning how to use a Neptune 3 max and a bambu P1S, you’ve been instrumental with helping figure out cura and bambu studio. Keep up the great work Chris!
Great video tutorial very well explained i just got an A1 last month and these tutorials really help to learn my way around my new found hobby 3d printing .
My X1 carbon arrives this week, and I've been looking for information like this to build my knowledge in advance. I must say, you are very good at conveying a message in very simple terms. I've liked and subscribed!
WOW... Keep these tutorials coming... I'm just printing out some tools & holders and some must haves to really setup my X1C with top lighting. My other accessories/plates came today so I can print PETG + others.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe My wife hates it... the high pitch squeeel especially with the super fasst infill.... so all my printing has to be done when she is gone... I can't win!!
Hi Chris, I'm glad you're making these Bambu videos. I've had my bambu printer for a while now so I personally am doing ok with mine. However there are still a few things I struggle with. I'll be giving this video a watch later tonight. I do have another idea for a future video. Do you think you will make a bambu video on printing with pla and using petg for a support interface layer and vice versa? This works so well. The underside of my models with overhangs come out just as good as the top surface. I think the community could benefit from your easy to understand way of explaining stuff.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe excellent! I did it for the first time the other day. Honestly if you haven't already done it (which I'm sure you must of) you'll be amazed. I have read some people saying you can do it the other way around such as using pla as your support interface for a petg print but so far I've had no success. Maybe you'll have better luck than me. I just managed to watch this video of your on support painting tonight in work. Thanks for showing me some more new stuff dude 👊
Yes, PLA with PETG is a lifesaver for me. I am sure someone has a better setting than I use. But no more hours trying to clean up a print. Some only take a minute or two, which is quite cheap. Oh yes, you might talk about how to save on the cost of filament. I buy at least 10 rolls at a time and get free shipping and 50% off. Enjoy
@@rix_flix it's because pla and petg filament are not compatible with each other. In other words they will not bond to each other very much so using petg as your support interface for a pla print will allow you to peel off your supports leaving a practically perfect finish and none or very little scars on the underside of your model. You can only do this on a printer like a Bambu though with AMS so it automatically switches between filament for you. First time I did it I was in disbelief as the underside that had been touching the supports was better quality than my top surface and my top surface is pretty damn good anyway. If you haven't done it and have a bambu I'd seriously advise giving it a go
Thanks very much it's a great instructional video and it opens your eyes as to waste which is a good thing as a new user of Bambu Alexa printers but not new to 3-D printing I'm smitten with my new acquisition and I am now seriously contemplating getting the Carbon version. I definitely think the AMS system is the way forward with 3-D printing in general and should be an option for all 3-D printers as long as we have a solution to the waste that's generated that is both affordable and produces something that we can use so we basically end up with virtually no waste at all. I've subscribed and I'm looking forward to seeing new videos and your previous ones.
Thank you for these in depth tutorials. I just want to say that your content is very engaging, maybe its your enthusiasm, all the tips and tricks and how its presented in an easy to digest manner. I tend to zone out in boredom when I'm watching tutorials but these vids have been great I'm right there with you on your views with the filament waste btw. I don't plan to throw away any of them, 3D printing is awesome but it already introduces a lot more plastic thats not easily biodegradable. Throwing purge blocks and ams poop on top of that makes me feel terrible. I'll be collecting all of them same as you when my printer comes in. I'm also hoping that we will be able to recycle the plastics in the near future!
I just got my first 3d printer. Bambu Labs A1. I thank you for your videos here. And “How to” aside, thank your for the advice as well. Had no idea how much waste there is with color changes. Regardless of that, I knew that I was going to print multiples.
Excellent video instruction. Starting to bonge your channel because I am finally taking the 3D printing stuff more seriously. One of the things that got me back interested is the power of being able to do multiple color prints. Sorry for the length of this comment. When you paint the model using the sphere, circle, or triangle tool how many layers are being painted - or is this a relevant question at all? I fear I may have a fundamental knowledge gap about the multicolor process and operation of the printer. I am trying to close that. I have been watching various videos on programs like hueforge and setting up models in F360, Inkscape/Tinkercad, etc. to not have to paint the models. I figured I needed to go back to basics to understand how the printer is interpreting the information and applying it. Your channel appears to do a good job o talking about basics so I subscribed and hit the all bell. This video touched the surface of this topic, will be binge watching and looking for more insights on how the printer is working. For example: I see people bring in multiple STL (let's say 4) that they export from TinkerCad. Then they stack them on the build plate, get them aligned and select each one to be a different color based on that layer. I still need to learn this and how that works. One question is does this then do one full color for each of those layers? If so how do I make sure the print is flush on the top (if that is what I wanted)? If I understand your video discussion aroung time 36, the colors need to change (however many are applicable) each layer so multiple flushes in a layer. But when I watch these other videos I get the impression they are making a color change per layer to end up with the colored result (like a hueforge print). I think I am confused. Sorry way too long but looking for insights on the fundamentals of how the printer is functioning with multiple color changes (hence the significant amount of waste you discussed. Do you have more in depth tutorials on this topic?
Thanks for the great video. I have Ender 3 and K1 so am coming from Crealty software and Cura. I just ordered the P1S with AMS and this is very helpful and gave me something to do while waiting for it to arrive!
Good video. Very well done and easy to follow along with you. Yes it is good if you keep going on into the software, it will help us all I am sure. Thank you
Brand new to 3d Printing, and came across this video. I normally only watch to see what i needed to know and then move on ... i watched the entire video. Respect! I have subscribed and liked the video. Thank you!
3:07 For the best results and the smallest flush tower, hit the Auto-calc button and then typically apply a 0.5 multiplier. Also, make sure to use the "flush into infill" setting in the main panel.
Thanks so much for your educational and entertaining video. I feel like you have a production value of a much bigger channel(I hope that's not taken as a back-handed compliment). I think you are going to get exponentially more followers as everyone is getting into 3d printing. Your style and branding is perfect for merch. I believe all you need to do is keep doing what you're doing. Thanks again for all the knowledge.
Wow, thank you! Not a back handed compliment at all. I appreciate your comment I hope one day I become a bigger channel. For now I’ll just help the people that find me. 😁
Hi Chris, just got my 3D printer this Christmas and have been searching for training videos. Just wanted to let you know that yours are by far the most informative and best paced ones I have found. Thank you so much for keeping it slow and detailed for newbies. Tried to find the poop chute in thangs but was not successful. Could you please provide a link to see if I can make one. Thank you again for your informative videos. Take care...
I used to work in the research department at Hallmark Cards. It was several years ago but we used an extruder to blend virgin material and rerun material. I would think there are smaller extruders out there you could extrude the poop material maybe blending it with a black die and extruding it to the same size as the filament.
Hey hey, that’s my The Office model! When I saw the other one in the first part of your video, I wished you would have found mine. Then it showed up! 🎉
I have just purchase a Bambu A1. When downloading load a model file with two plates to be printed, is there a way to print the second plate only. Example: a poop bucket with an upper and lower section. The lower section is removable for discarding waste. I have printed the upper section and need only the lower section. Thanks for your reply Richard
Yes, you just have to click on the desired plate. You wish to print you should notice one of the plates is highlighted and then the other plate is greyed out. The highlighted one is the one you’re going to print also, when your slicing in the prepare tab, you can see on the left side of your plates. You can click on the plate. You want to print then slice that plate and export to your printer. I hope that helps.
Hey Chris..thanks so much for these tutorials...simply the easiest to follow along with and learn for someone completely new to printing and starting with the A1! Got a question for ya. What's the easiest way to paint a model that doesn't come in "parts" that you can explode out? I'm looking at a Star Wars Clone Trooper that are in the Bambu Maker World, and they're really hard to paint nicely...have to hit all the little triangles etc...takes forever..there has to be a better way!
Thanks for the video. I was about to return my Carbon because I am too big of a NOOB to understand it. Now I am excited to see what I can do. I am really curious about possibly using the AMS to print support with soluble filiment. If you could test that out and let us know I would be grateful.
Hey there, im just starting to go through your videos, and i appreciate them a lot already! thank you so much for making them. i do have a question is there a video talking about per plate settings and how we do that? like if i want plate 1 to be painted green, then plate 2 to be brown etc? keep up the awesome vids.
Very informative! I am keeping my filament waste also for the multi color / material recycling. that's hard also because I have some ASA mixed into my bucket. I am keeping my glow filament waste separate as I plan to shred it and use it to include in resin molds :) very excited for a Bambu like Filament recycle system that also has filament welding to combine filaments the next thing for you to explore is the adaptive smoothing feature for round items, like the panda's belly.
Great video! Can you set the depth of the painting somewhere once its been painted in Bambu Labs Studio? I have lettering that I would like two layers deep
Lovely tutorial, simply explained and yet very detailed. I am waiting for my P1S to arrive and and completely new to 3d printing but this tutorial gave me a great headstart. And hopefully there will be a way to recycle the poops into new fillament
I'm a newbee to 3D printing and I really appreciated and loved your tutorial. I'm trying to decide between the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon and the Prusa XL. I love what Bambu Lab offers for a user that just wants to print and not tinker around with the hardware and I also really appreciate its enclosure. However, I find that Bambu Labs' X1C's build volume is so darn small. I love the bigger build volume of the Prusa XL and its 5 extruder heads which is supposed to render way less waste but would have preferred the Prusa XL in an enclosure. Would that make a difference in the quality of the prints? In your opinion, is the Prusa XL to much to handle for a first 3D printer purchase. Its price tag is hefty for a first purchase. Is there a chance that Bambu Lab would release an X1C with a bigger build volume? Perhaps I need to figure out how to "cut" objects into smaller peices to print? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. And yes, I did Like and Subscribe!
Hey loved your video!!! (I'm now looking into getting a P1S lol ---- BBL = expensive though lol) Hey #2, for your filament waste look into injection molding of household stuff like combs and stuff. I have seen some people doing this and selling their prints and scrap on shops.
Hi love the videos! I was wondering if you ever ran into a problem with the filament cutter and the lever at the front left of the machine. My printer head always seems to run into the corner improperly and I can't find a solution. Thanks for the help.
At 4:40, you stated that it is not generic PLA but in fact it was Matt from Bambu. Why did the AMS not know this? With the RFID tags, isn't the AMS supposed to be able to automatically know what Bambu filaments are in the AMS? Did someone by chance uncheck the option to check the filament on Insertion Update? Or did they uncheck the Update on startup? Kinda silly to uncheck those options.
For the prime/flush tower you can create a "flushie" basically just create a new print from what's being flushed, super helpful if you don't mind the colour of the print 😁
@@jamesbrehm6941 there are tutorials on YT but from what I remember (in Bambu slicer) you put an object on the plate and right click and select flush into object there's two options for it just to be the infill or both infill and outside It significantly reduces the size of the purge block
I saw someone make 3d printed molds to then make silicone molds. From there they would melt the poop colors all together and pour into the silicone molds and make really cool rainbow/ multi color filament castings such as a skull.
Relatively new to Bambu & AMS, but not to 3d printing or multi-material prints. With the Prusa MMU, you get the purge tower, used to purge the leftover filament from the nozzle on each change, same as here. With the Bambu poop chute serving that same purpose, I would have expected to do away with the tower. What purpose does it serve here beyond wasting extra filament purging twice?
Hi Cris, I have a Bambu A1 Mini, when printing towards the end of all of my prints the print head will hit and free it from the bed. I printed 5 Geckos and only 2 came out. 3 of them were hit by the print head. Thank you. I love your videos
Thank you for the tutorial very well done. I am new to all this. I have the A1 and have yet to see a prime tower i have only done a couple mixed colors. Does the A1 even make a tower.
I usually print keychains, flowers maybe 25 at once on the bed. Start with Yellow then the middle raised brown. Normaly I watch until the proper time and switch filaments. With this A1+AMS printing many items will it work? Or can you only print one at a time? Thanks
I am new here and love you videos, learning a lot so thank you. I would like to ask a question about color and printing. I would like to make an item that will be flat on the back but stepped up on the other side. it is 10mm in height and the base is 3.5mm second layer is 2mm (5.5 mm total at this point) the base can be all white and the second is to be red. the rest of the print is white, red, blue and gray. Bambu wants to print the color all they way thru (156 filament changes) i think making the base all white and then red on top of that would count out a lot of filament changes. How do i do that?
Hi Chris, Many thanks for the excellent tutorial (I'm a long time Prusa Mk3 user, X1C due to arrive in 2 days! I noticed the larger Marvel-style models on the shelves behind me - and had to ask - Are those resin, or 3D printed? If 3d printed, what were they printed on? Thanks!

@@joakimohman9071 Yes, in Prepare, click Objects mode (not global) and then pick an object, go to others, and check Flush into this object.

Good video. Very well done and easy to follow along with you. Yes it is good if you keep going on into the software, it will help us all I am sure. Thank you
Thanks. I’ve got more planned.
Brand new to 3d Printing, and came across this video. I normally only watch to see what i needed to know and then move on ... i watched the entire video. Respect! I have subscribed and liked the video. Thank you!
That’s awesome welcome to the hobby. Hope it was helpful and thanks for the sub
3:07 For the best results and the smallest flush tower, hit the Auto-calc button and then typically apply a 0.5 multiplier. Also, make sure to use the "flush into infill" setting in the main panel.
Excellent information! I learned quite a bit from this video regarding coloring my prints and solved a lot of my frustration. Huge Thanks!
Is it possible to blend colors at all? Your video answered all the other questions I have -- excellent work!
Great man! Got my bambu yesterday, this helps so much!
Thanks so much for your educational and entertaining video. I feel like you have a production value of a much bigger channel(I hope that's not taken as a back-handed compliment). I think you are going to get exponentially more followers as everyone is getting into 3d printing. Your style and branding is perfect for merch. I believe all you need to do is keep doing what you're doing. Thanks again for all the knowledge.
Wow, thank you! Not a back handed compliment at all. I appreciate your comment I hope one day I become a bigger channel. For now I’ll just help the people that find me. 😁
Your videos are amazing, I really appreciate your dedication
Great video buddy, thanks for making this thorough tutorial! You got a new subscriber :)
Hi Chris, just got my 3D printer this Christmas and have been searching for training videos. Just wanted to let you know that yours are by far the most informative and best paced ones I have found. Thank you so much for keeping it slow and detailed for newbies. Tried to find the poop chute in thangs but was not successful. Could you please provide a link to see if I can make one. Thank you again for your informative videos. Take care...
Thank you for providing valuable information 😃 since I am learning 3d printing
Thank you!! I really like your videos! Happy printing to you))
Awesome thanks.
You’re videos are very well done. Exceptional.
I used to work in the research department at Hallmark Cards. It was several years ago but we used an extruder to blend virgin material and rerun material. I would think there are smaller extruders out there you could extrude the poop material maybe blending it with a black die and extruding it to the same size as the filament.
Thank you!!! I'm starting with ams and multicolor print.
I havent paid attention to the amount of poop when color changes happen so that was a real eye opener!
Yeah it’s crazy how much waste you get. I hope a solution comes to recycle 100% of the filament.
Hey hey, that’s my The Office model! When I saw the other one in the first part of your video, I wished you would have found mine. Then it showed up! 🎉
You’re videos are very well done. Exceptional.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for a terrific video! Any chance you could say where the duck print came from? I'd like to print it!
Unfortunately the artist made it so it’s no longer free. But here is the link. thangs.com/designer/PixelandPlastic/3d-model/Sitting%20Duckling-888406
I have just purchase a Bambu A1. When downloading load a model file with two plates to be printed, is there a way to print the second plate only. Example: a poop bucket with an upper and lower section. The lower section is removable for discarding waste. I have printed the upper section and need only the lower section.
Thanks for your reply
Richard
Yes, you just have to click on the desired plate. You wish to print you should notice one of the plates is highlighted and then the other plate is greyed out. The highlighted one is the one you’re going to print also, when your slicing in the prepare tab, you can see on the left side of your plates. You can click on the plate. You want to print then slice that plate and export to your printer. I hope that helps.
lol, when you clicked on the foot with the gold fill tool, my first thought was "god, I hope he next tells me that 'undo' works!" Phew, it does!
What Filament do you like to use in the Bambu X1 C? Great videos, Learned so much from you! Keep them coming. TY
Thank you for timestamps! Perfect tutorial
Hey Chris..thanks so much for these tutorials...simply the easiest to follow along with and learn for someone completely new to printing and starting with the A1! Got a question for ya. What's the easiest way to paint a model that doesn't come in "parts" that you can explode out? I'm looking at a Star Wars Clone Trooper that are in the Bambu Maker World, and they're really hard to paint nicely...have to hit all the little triangles etc...takes forever..there has to be a better way!
Thanks for the video. I was about to return my Carbon because I am too big of a NOOB to understand it. Now I am excited to see what I can do. I am really curious about possibly using the AMS to print support with soluble filiment. If you could test that out and let us know I would be grateful.
Thank you for this! I figured out how to customize my prints!
Hey there, im just starting to go through your videos, and i appreciate them a lot already! thank you so much for making them. i do have a question is there a video talking about per plate settings and how we do that? like if i want plate 1 to be painted green, then plate 2 to be brown etc? keep up the awesome vids.
Very informative! I am keeping my filament waste also for the multi color / material recycling. that's hard also because I have some ASA mixed into my bucket.
I am keeping my glow filament waste separate as I plan to shred it and use it to include in resin molds :)
very excited for a Bambu like Filament recycle system that also has filament welding to combine filaments
the next thing for you to explore is the adaptive smoothing feature for round items, like the panda's belly.
Great video! Can you set the depth of the painting somewhere once its been painted in Bambu Labs Studio? I have lettering that I would like two layers deep
Thank you for this great tutorial! I just setup my printer yesterday and this was so helpful.
Lovely tutorial, simply explained and yet very detailed. I am waiting for my P1S to arrive and and completely new to 3d printing but this tutorial gave me a great headstart.
And hopefully there will be a way to recycle the poops into new fillament
I may have missed it. is the flush the same as the purge just putting it into a form instead of poop?
Excellent video .. thanks! Can you do one on cleaning up prints after printing
I'm a newbee to 3D printing and I really appreciated and loved your tutorial. I'm trying to decide between the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon and the Prusa XL. I love what Bambu Lab offers for a user that just wants to print and not tinker around with the hardware and I also really appreciate its enclosure. However, I find that Bambu Labs' X1C's build volume is so darn small. I love the bigger build volume of the Prusa XL and its 5 extruder heads which is supposed to render way less waste but would have preferred the Prusa XL in an enclosure. Would that make a difference in the quality of the prints? In your opinion, is the Prusa XL to much to handle for a first 3D printer purchase. Its price tag is hefty for a first purchase. Is there a chance that Bambu Lab would release an X1C with a bigger build volume? Perhaps I need to figure out how to "cut" objects into smaller peices to print? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. And yes, I did Like and Subscribe!
Great video- thanks! Just wish you would take a minute and link to the print for the .stl of the Panda Bear...
Awesome glad you liked it. Here is the link for you.

Thanks very much for the quick reply!!

Hey loved your video!!! (I'm now looking into getting a P1S lol ---- BBL = expensive though lol) Hey #2, for your filament waste look into injection molding of household stuff like combs and stuff. I have seen some people doing this and selling their prints and scrap on shops.
Hi love the videos! I was wondering if you ever ran into a problem with the filament cutter and the lever at the front left of the machine. My printer head always seems to run into the corner improperly and I can't find a solution. Thanks for the help.
At 4:40, you stated that it is not generic PLA but in fact it was Matt from Bambu. Why did the AMS not know this? With the RFID tags, isn't the AMS supposed to be able to automatically know what Bambu filaments are in the AMS? Did someone by chance uncheck the option to check the filament on Insertion Update? Or did they uncheck the Update on startup? Kinda silly to uncheck those options.
For the prime/flush tower you can create a "flushie" basically just create a new print from what's being flushed, super helpful if you don't mind the colour of the print 😁
How?
@@jamesbrehm6941 there are tutorials on YT but from what I remember (in Bambu slicer) you put an object on the plate and right click and select flush into object there's two options for it just to be the infill or both infill and outside
It significantly reduces the size of the purge block
@@jamesbrehm6941You took the word right out of my mouth, perhaps in another video 😉
I saw someone make 3d printed molds to then make silicone molds. From there they would melt the poop colors all together and pour into the silicone molds and make really cool rainbow/ multi color filament castings such as a skull.
Relatively new to Bambu & AMS, but not to 3d printing or multi-material prints. With the Prusa MMU, you get the purge tower, used to purge the leftover filament from the nozzle on each change, same as here. With the Bambu poop chute serving that same purpose, I would have expected to do away with the tower. What purpose does it serve here beyond wasting extra filament purging twice?
Hi Cris, I have a Bambu A1 Mini, when printing towards the end of all of my prints the print head will hit and free it from the bed. I printed 5 Geckos and only 2 came out. 3 of them were hit by the print head.
Thank you. I love your videos
Forgot to ask, do you have a link to flexi panda? My grandkids would love this and did't see it in your description.
Thank you for the tutorial very well done. I am new to all this. I have the A1 and have yet to see a prime tower i have only done a couple mixed colors. Does the A1 even make a tower.
Curios, did you use flush to infill and how did it affect waste?
perfect video, exactly what i needed , ty!
Your very welcome glad it helped.
I wonder if there’s a way to set it to use the color change purge on supports only. That way it doesn’t waste any filament.
I usually print keychains, flowers maybe 25 at once on the bed. Start with Yellow then the middle raised brown. Normaly I watch until the proper time and switch filaments. With this A1+AMS printing many items will it work? Or can you only print one at a time? Thanks
I am new here and love you videos, learning a lot so thank you. I would like to ask a question about color and printing. I would like to make an item that will be flat on the back but stepped up on the other side. it is 10mm in height and the base is 3.5mm second layer is 2mm (5.5 mm total at this point) the base can be all white and the second is to be red. the rest of the print is white, red, blue and gray. Bambu wants to print the color all they way thru (156 filament changes) i think making the base all white and then red on top of that would count out a lot of filament changes. How do i do that?
Hi Chris,
Many thanks for the excellent tutorial (I'm a long time Prusa Mk3 user, X1C due to arrive in 2 days!
I noticed the larger Marvel-style models on the shelves behind me - and had to ask - Are those resin, or 3D printed? If 3d printed, what were they printed on?
Thanks!
Helpful video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
