Beginner's Guide to 3D Printing!

[@---ey6hj]

Watching this video made me realize that it’s amazing how far 3d printing has come even in the last 2 years

[@ptaf92]

Yeah I was surprised too. I remember like 9 years ago friends of mine complaining of how difficult it was so it always put me off. But now I'm finally interested again

[@keithclark8030]

Same here. I was looking at it a couple years ago. Very interesting.

[@ForgersWill]

My good sir, you did not put in said timestamps.

[@frgv4060]

Probably he didn’t care because the video is superfluous but for the income. The description is where all the useful info is hehe.

[@andrew8472]

He did lol when you're in the description. If you click view transcript, you'll see all the time stamps

[@ForgersWill]

@@andrew8472 I mean, I did post that a month ago, he did change them after the fact.

[@yeumee]

​@@andrew8472yea no one is going to click every 5 seconds of that lol

[@masterflowingrivers]

No one cares

[@Shaerky]

As someone who already knows the basics of 3d printing, I can confirm this is a certified classic.

[@rheiga]

I've been debating on getting into this hobby for a long time, and am finally about to pull the trigger and dive in. This is the first Video of yours I have watched and I'm glad I watched it. You gave a lot of wonderful info and resources. Thank you for doing this for the community.

[@Psoewish]

This is basically just a playlist for all your other videos, but with detailed descriptions of what the videos are about, which may sound like a criticism but I absolutely love it. This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for and I will 100% be going through these other videos now.

[@FranklyBuilt]

I appreciate that. It’s a LOT to go over and I just figured this was the best way. A quick overview but you can expand if you want

[@mattwruff]

I'm a retired CTO of a company, and I've wanted to 'play' with a 3D printer for years. Now that I'm retired (65) and finishing up the loose ends, Next year, I hope, I'll be 3D printing. Nice overview. I find all this a little funny. I have a College degree in Printing, you know, Ink on Paper printing. Our company was huge, and we printed all kinds of things, from Harry Potter books to Sports Illustrated. Thinks about a Bambu Lab X1C 3D Printer for Christmas and going from there.

[@BigChedda6766]

I’ve been printing for 3-4 years and I’m still learning stuff from you. Still plenty I want/need to learn too which is kinda why I love this hobby. Something new is always gonna be at my grasp to learn

[@kayden2909]

I have been watching you for at least 3 years now and i remember watching your old tutorials, i just want to thank you for getting me into this amazing hobby

[@imarobobot8795]

Frank, you and Emily the Engineer singlehandedly got me from being intimidated about 3D printing to owning two Bambu X1C printers. One is going pretty much 24x7, while the other one I use for custom parts for my work. Your incredibly informative videos inspired me to leave my comfort zone and discover a fun and extremely practical hobby that's brought us a lot of joy (and a little bit of $$$ 😅) Keep being awesome dude

[@ianhalverson6350]

duuuuuude! you just gave this 53-yr-old SOO much information & confidence & courage to step into hobby 3D-printing 1:12 scifi figures , & I LUV YOU for it! frankly you’re awesome. i’m gonna go disappear down your rabbit hole of suplementary & complementary videos now. see you in those comment. cheers.

[@tylerhouse3878]

Frank you sir are amazing! Your one of the big reasons why I'm diving into this huge rabbit hole of a hobby. I got my first printer 3 days ago and printed my first benchy within the hour of the printer arriving. This has been so fun and exciting for my son and I to grow and tinker with stuff. Thank you very much for the inspiration!

[@itsmyyoutube]

Just printed something for the first time yesterday. Your videos have been helpful and inspirational.

[@TheCrytone]

I would suggest using just dish soap, warm water and a stiff bristle brush to clean a build plate. I was having issues with adhesion using IPA and paper towels but using just some dawn and water solved that. Then i try not to touch the plate at all.

[@ronr4849]

New format for videos is PERFECT! This literally embodies my favorite author. The "2 friends sitting down and having a conversation" style works SOOO well for me. And I love the update of where we are now as to where we were 5yrs ago kind of subject matter. Stay awesome, bro! 🍻

[@wolf-boy-gaming]

you're the reason why i got into 3d printing so keep up the good work👍

​@@Mahv0603 Great mythical minds think alike 😂

[@sup3s]

Dude your Black Friday video got me back into printing last year and since I’ve gotten my P1S I’ve done hundreds of hours and fixed so many things around the house (and printed TONS of anime stuff lol) thanks for all the great info always!

[@Monke523]

been watching for a while finally got my own printer cant wait comes tomorrow after this im cooking up some cool helmets

[@missnae703]

Just found you last Tuesday… now I purchased a P1S and I’m subscribed! Thanks for the info 🥰

[@crooker2]

Printers are getting great today... But truth be told... I'm rather glad I had to fight through trying to get my ender 3v2 and 3v3 printers optimized. While 3d printing was a love/hate thing for me, learning about how the printers work (trial by fire) was very valuable. Today... 3d printers like the A1 (which I purchased and never looked at my enders again) are much easier to use, but they do everything for you. Less effort... More printing!

[@marissaemmaa]

Stoked for this video!!! I’ve been struggling with 3D printing for a while, can’t wait to learn from you!🥰

[@Bomfunknight]

@marissaemmaa good luck may the force be with you

[@lalithakumar8807]

Wow man you made my day...i have zero kmowledge about this 3d printing. So much of questions on where to start and what to buy and the dependencies and all...thanks for making...subscribed now to watch more on your making and hacks using your printers.❤ from INDIA

[@SweatmansFlicks]

I've learned a lot about 3D printing from this guy. Very knowledgeable.

[@jaycoleman269]

Just ordered a P1P to dive in to printing. So will definitely start watching the linked videos for more in depth information. Every little bit is going to help. Thanks!

[@jaxonreide]

I've been watching your videos a lot since I've been working on getting a helmet printed! You've been super helpful. I finally got all the pieces done, and now on to getting it put together!

[@hellaren]

Thanks for sharing this video! It made me much more confident that buying a 3d printer wasn’t a mistake:)

[@lylecameron5578]

Recently visited my daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren who showed me their new Bambu printer. Seems interesting so I found your video today. Wow. Great job and also, I want to tell you that your video (another one of my hobbies along with photography) was truly professional. Thanks ! I'm really impressed.

[@jacobreyes3976]

New to the 3-D Printing family, this video is very helpful!

[@zillerx253]

I would say compare your failure's to other peoples failure's! I learned what they did wrong and made sure not to do that, as well as others point out what I did wrong

[@samanthastevens8564]

This video was so encouraging! I really want to learn, but was feeling very intimidated. You accomplished exactly what you set out to do: this video felt like chatting with a friend. thank you for the help!

[@meadmaker4525]

As someone thinking about getting into 3D printing, this helps a lot. Thanks. As an aside, hope you're able to review the Comgrow T500. It's HUGE!!

[@jermeyp2207]

I bought a 3D printer this past December, and your videos have been very helpful! Glad I found your channel! If it wasn't for you I would have given up printing. Still learning!

[@MidKnight1403]

You’re an absolute legend man. Been watching your channel for a while and you have inspired me to start making 3d printed props

[@PerfectDuallity]

Video got recommended to me at a perfect time I just started 3d printing for the first time ever after buying creality ender 3 v2 Been a fan of you for a bit!

[@henrybugden59]

I'm getting a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE and I's soooo excited to start. This video helped so much. Thanks

[@Dunn3D]

Love your videos! Keep on keeping on!

[@TBoom8669]

Great work. Just had 3 friends in the last 2 weeks ask me about getting into 3d printing. Crazy how the process you went through is almost in the exact same layout i did with them. Also told them they should subscribe to your channel as chances are if they watch they may pick up on something they need If they cannot reach out to me. In any case, keep up the good work sir.

[@Loganwynn]

Thanks for all your videos. Had my printer a week and I’m about to take of a helmet I’m making my son for Halloween. You were the main influence in this journey.

[@danielanderson6809]

Thank you for this. This is gonna make a great intro video for my 3D printing unit!

[@ninjacats200]

One big tip for people starting out is watch your print speed. Especally on bed slingers. My first printer was one where the bed just moved up and down. My 2nd is a bed slinger and I don't want to admit how many failed prints and research I had to do to find out it was the print speed. (It was a lot and I found the answer in a video on this channel funny enough.). Print speed is mostly just for prints that are tall and skinny. Like the 8 helmet pieces I had to print for my Game of thrones kings guard armor. (Still a work in progress.). A good indicator that it might be a print speed problem is if it came off of the plate while printing. That could also be a dirty bed. So I would clean the bed first and then either also lower speed a little or see if cleaning it helped first and then adjust print speed.

[@brinsonmoney1856]

1:41 what time stamps

[@5t66t5]

Really really well done and so informative.

[@MicheleHarrisonSO]

This is a very good tutorial for beginner 3D printing. I'm not interested in starting this hobby but I had gotten a couple of 3D printed dragons for my "Christmas babies" and was curious about the process. Thanks I will be checking out your recommended vides. Merry Xmas from Southern Oregon

[@shawnnix163]

This video was amazing for someone just looking into 3D printing. Very clear information that can be understood. Thank you sir!

[@justingodbey4984]

I printed a benchy first thing. I got a P1S with the AMS. I highly recommend it as well. My nephew absolutely loves it. I'm a huge fan of the auto ID feature of the AMS when using bambu filament. I upgraded to hardened steel components for future filament.

[@Rancorkeeper117]

Thanks for posting this video Frankly Built. It helped me out tremendously.

[@Mapexx1]

This video is so perfect for everything I needed to know

[@Schjoenz]

HUH! I just ordered a 3D printer and this is what I will see from you. It's so very timely!

[@Knuckles549]

My K1C arrives on Friday this video was made specifically for me. Thanks

[@Shadow111ze]

I saw your shorts a few times and taught, yeah 3d printing is cool and stuff. But I'am not a genius for this. But this Weekend I saw this articulated Iron Man at Disneyland Paris. And now I'am here. Thank you for motivating all of us to start with this amazing hobby. Keep up the good work. I have to go print some stuff

[@kawaiichi]

I started this 3d printing hobby journey 3 months ago and bought myself a K1 Max. After watching your vid I realized I'm not a noob anymore 😂

[@jj.signns]

Mark39 in the back looks absolutely gorgeous Probably was a lot of work Good job ! 👏

[@xelnok8416]

About to order an A1 ams combo after watching some of your other videos, this is video is perfect for me!

[@TheFoxalot]

Do it! Well worth it!

[@aledproductions3492]

Getting my first one next week (Bambulab A1) so this video is perfect!

[@AdamLang-v6i]

My first print that I did was a fishing rod holder that I designed.

[@AdamLang-v6i]

Also I am having a issue with my latest prints. They start out fine, then the get really thin and brittle then back to normal. I haven't changed any settings. I was printing them back to back and all I changed was filament color and then hit print again. Any ideas what's going on. Please help.

[@oOnitemareOo]

You are the main reason I got into 3d printing!!! I was given an ender for my birthday because I was going on and on about it (thinking of switching to bambu p1s) but seeing all you have created and watching all your tutorials made me ready for what came before I even started!!! Keep it up, your making a LOT of people wanna do this 👍👍👍👍

[@Cornholio174]

I really wish I got into 3D printing now instead of a few years ago, I've had an ender 3 that I've had for about 3 years now and thankfully have only had one issue after all this time. That Bambu P1S looks so tempting and I think I'm going to have to save up since I have a lot of helmets I want to print that I don't have to break into multiple pieces that take forever. Thank you for the video, been a fan for about 2 years now.

[@KrazyCritter-lt3jk]

Thanks for your videos this first time I saw one of your videos it was awesome. I have been wanting to get into the printing hobby for awhile now your videos are just when I needed. Thank you I will watch your other videos my again thank you and have a blessed weekend.

[@johnbrannigan02]

Hi Frank I hope you are doing well mentally and physically, I absolutely loved this video especially because you got me into the 3d printing hobby. I was going to order a Creality K1 Max. Keep up the amazing work and I hope you have a great rest of your day

[@Mysta_G]

Yasss I needed this bro thank you!

[@brettgroves8910]

Very helpful thank you! I just pulled the trigger on a printer today out of the blue. I am super excited but kinda nervous at the same time lol.

[@imaginarytaco]

I really wish I'd known this stuff before I started. I started with a new ender 3 pro off of Amazon. Some of the most pain I've gone through, replacing so many things, upgrading and such that could be posted into a subreddit about "When is an ender 3 nolonger an ender 3?", but I've learned so much from the torture that I've had other people starting the hobby and I'm only two and a half years in. 😅

[@AshyNorthstar]

really needed this everyone else seems to use all these terms and what not but you made it very simple and not overwhelming +1 sub from me def gonna need this chan for my starting 3d adventures

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yay! Literally what the goal of this was

[@mac2cool93]

Always love the content brother keep up the great work

[@BuntingBros]

Thank you for making this, I’ve started trying to fix my 3d printer again

[@Cayden-tn2ve]

To be honest, I thought 3D printing was a lot more complicated than that, but thanks to the video it seems a lot easier to do

[@stevebates2393]

Well I have been considering the purchase of a 3D printer for some time now and decided it is time to take the plunge. I came across your video and, well, excellent. I have a better understanding of what to look for, where to go and what to download. I will of course now watch the other videos on your channel, oh and have now subscribed.

[@ffaorlandu]

I'm literally working on a custom design for a pickleball paddle rack system for our local court using Tinkercad and getting ready to print it on my P1S. You're videos are amazing and always super helpful, thank you!

[@stevencullen6261]

I have noticed in a very simplified way everything takes 3 steps if a person takes on a feature even the printing itself get model slice it then print if you add paint its sand, prime (repeat as needed), than paint if you wanted to print the metal infused and get from 3d print to metal post printing is also 3 steps (but requires shipping to a company due to acid bath)

[@MakerBees333]

❤ Love the straightforward approach, Bam here’s the printer, 1. 2. 3. Things to think about. EASY to share, well done. 👍

[@number1eclipse]

So yeah I got a good deal on ebay and my first printer was the N4Max. It has been... and adventure. Bedslingers of this size are an afront to god at this cost, but my struggles have made me love it. I have printed so many benchy as tests for trying to get things back to normal.

As always sir, your videos inspire and inform. I cant wait to start my 3D printing journey and with your guidance, I know I will be successful. My first printer will actually be one of your recommendations, the Neptune 3 Max. See you at the printer.

[@skelletonbt9018]

I recently bought a 3D printer (4 weeks ago) to because i wanted a hobby and because i wanted to make cool shit and i did so without really watching anything or research anything and by god that was a huuuuge mistake i spent 3-4 days learning from trial and error watching about 40 videos and finally i had done it! I had printed a small statue that had some nice features, then i saw tons of your videos and other peoples and i really wanted to make a boba fett helmet (cause he was one of my facourite characters in star wars since i was 7 years old) so i spent another 7 days failing and failing and finally i had it my very first helmet done right in front of me and i have never in my life felt more happy with anything i have made sure its not 100% perfect room for improvement but by god is it worth it. I just want to thank you and other youtubers that make these videos and share your knowlege.
