This would be an interesting topic: which lubricants would be better for which part and why… or if there is not a clear winner, what are the pros and cons of some options. Have you been using WD 40 for some time?

Glad this grandpa-video could help! ❤️🤣

You are absolutely right. The extruder is so important and it is easy to overlook - specially about it being dirt with tiny rests of plastic, and the results become very weird. It was not my case, though 😅

❤️👍🤗

Do you believe I bought a couple of Oldham Couplings to try on my printers... but I didn't have time to test them yet? I have them for 7 months already, closed, in a box... One day!... one day...

You are welcome! Un gran saludo desde España!

Thank you so much! Firmware Problems are so specific… they usually affect a specific printer / model. I can promise that if I stumble upon something, I will talk about it. Are you having any firmware problem? 🤔❤️

@@GeekDetour Yes. I promiss to give you feedback on the specific printer brand and model..on coming Tuesday. Thank you kindly sir.

Wow! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you!!! ❤️

Much appreciated! ❤️

Yeah! Somehow I was born in Brazil 🤣 É nóis 👍

Haaha O sotaque é único.

My pleasure!

@Commander_HW Thank you! I actually gave up making the video… I wanted to make an easy “How to upgrade your iPod” tutorial… but it didn’t go out as planned - as you saw - I got so frustrated that the whole footage remained untouched on an external hard drive from 2016 to 2018… My wife insisted many times that exactly because of the mishaps, it would make a great video. She was right and I am glad I eventually listened to her 😄❤️ It was only possible because, even though I was already feeling defeated, I kept recording every step - but I felt ridiculous doing it.

Que bien que te há gustado 🤗

I never thought of that before - and you are not alone: another person commented about the flat part of the tweezers too. When there is space for it, seems handy 🤗

Wow, thanks! ❤️ You made my day! I think I would love to do that - the challenge is that English is not my native language and I make many weird pronunciations - that I correct as much as possible… editing takes a lot of time 😅

Thanks!

Tell me! Tell me!

That’s interesting to test! Never bought transparent resin 🤔

Hum… what exactly are you talking about? Which software?

This is the way.

Nein 🤣 Just speak English, Spanish and Portuguese. My grandparents were German - they never taught us.

And it felt a lot like it. The problem happened around April - I filmed the close-ups of the parts... and I tried to diagnose and fix the printer as fast as I could because I needed the printer working. I bought Sean's book in July, I read it, I wanted to talk about it... but it remained waiting for a good matching video. In December I was desperately needing money - my recent videos didn't get much traction... People buy 3D Printers for Christmas and printers are challenging... Christmas is an introspective time, and bringing back that episode was nostalgic too. People loved the video, they felt it helped them, and Sean's book is also extremely helpful. The video got VERY good traction and the book also sold a lot - it generated commissions for me. Sean reached out to appreciate the exposure. Going through Holliday season completely broke is depressing... but January was good. It felt like a late Christmas present. Money should not be important... but when you don't have any money, it makes everything hard.

Ha ha ha, yeah! Maybe that’s the point: when you make a product for makers, a controversial item such as a handle, it’s design and where should it be located… maybe the best thing for a manufacturer is to keep the product as a blank canvas 🤣 People will proudly make it “their own”.

Ha ha ha, yeah. This video almost didn't happen. I wanted to make an "Easy Tutorial to Revive your iPod"... it was anything but easy. So the footage remained untouched from 2016 to 2018, on an external hard drive. My wife insisted that all the mishaps actually would make it an even better video... She was right :)

I am so happy that you enjoyed it 🤗 Using the inserts really gives any project an extra level of functionality and they look so cool.

I appreciate that! Thank you so much ❤️

Hi there! Is it your first 3D Printer?

@@GeekDetour yes and no, its my secund i had problems with my first too and retuned it, also i cant find direct help with anyone sadly, i joined discord but its so hit or miss, heres what i have tried: -realighning the rods -bed leveling -the head moves but i cant fix it more -the wheels that more up and down i cant get them properlly siting, elegoo has a video on it but i follow the steps and did nothing -the brass part you talked in the video that move with the z rod i have tried with them tight, supper lose and +/- tight still same results. also when i releveled the rod the prints gave a better result, the part where the printer head is around 2mm off to one side making the top wheel on the left to stay with presure and the bottom right wheel to have presure too, i tried to level it too but when i try it just goes back to the position it used to be

I recommend you to invite a friend who has experience in adjusting the printer mechanically. When you write: “I adjusted the wheels” I read: he tried to adjust the wheels. How tight should it be? Someone with experience can help you a lot.

@@GeekDetour the thing is i have no one

It makes sense - when your insert goes on a flat part. But there are parts where the insert is surrounded by other features. That’s where the BOLT comes in 👍

Nope. It’s water 💦 I’ll make a video about it

​@@GeekDetour Awesome looking forward to it!

It's on Elegoo download center: www.elegoo.com/pages/download Choose "STEM Kits", Robot Kits, then Tumbler.

Hi there! Yeah, that’s a huge dilema when editing: I could make it slow and have the exact opposite comment (or actually worst: see my analytics pointing people just leaving).

Thank you so much ❤️

Thanks! 🤗

The hard thing about that would be holding the screw still enough, at the right position, still, until it cools down… it’s easy to move and make it ugly 🤣

Thanks!

Thank you ❤️ Welcome! I hope not to disappoint - my videos take a long time to be made.

Or actually just disabling it. On SDCards, reading is faster than writing. It doesn’t make sense writing a checkpoint all the time - it also wears out the SDCard prematurely.

You could try to find a plastic sheet of the same thickness and cut it to the same width and push it inside - does it make sense?

Thank you very much for your kind words! I had to use the “translate” feature to actually read your comment. I am glad you liked the video and I hope you can fix the laptops easily 😄

Thank you so much 😄 Have you used brass inserts before?

@@GeekDetour Yes I have, but I’ve had a little trouble getting them flush with the surface or the plastic pushes up as you showed. The way you finished them up with the table or bolt is a great idea and looks perfect!

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s an easy trick I wish everybody would know.
