*WIN A GKTWO BUNDLE (SEE BELOW)*
Hey guys, after my last video got a lot of feedback regarding it;s length, I wanted to let you all know that this is another video that may not resonate with many of you who have followed for a while. I have about 4 videos aimed at absolute beginners coming out.
The point of this one is for new people to watch before they even consider looking for a resin printer. This is an overview of the whole process, with a few handy tips and is a general guide on how printing works.
The next video will be more about the post-processing stage.
I wanted to go back and do these beginner videos before I move on to more advanced stuff, which is coming soon, including a video on how to dial in your printer perfectly and what all the settings mean (which is a long/boring video) that many people may find benefit from.
Whilst this may not be the video for you. I'd still love it if you could watch it, to help boost it to more people out there, Even if you just click play and leave it on Mute.
I just wanted you to know what this was, before people start complaining it's a waste of time.
*WIN A GKTWO BUNDLE*

[@MidwinterMinis]

I absolutely couldn't have done this without your awesome guidance, thank you for being so generous with your time and patient with my stupid questions. ... but you're absolutely wrong about that HeroQuest rule ;)

[@fede4819]

What i want for ALL future 3d printers is to have a heater by default, it's criminal to not have it in 2024 as it's such an essential part to ensure good printing.

[@rustyshaklford9557]

It's not like it's difficult or expensive either; I doubt integrating a vat heater would add more than $10 in manufacturing cost per unit.

[@Kiddeth]

if you can't afford an external heater, how did you buy the printer. so no its a lame idea and just an added expense and something else to go wrong

[@fede4819]

@@Kiddeth That's an hilariously bad take and dumb reasoning, it's better to have an essential feature already builtin instead of having to spend extra time, troubleshooting and money to add it anyways to get an acceptable experience, especially when it doesn't add much cost to begin with.

[@BisphamTangerine]

@@Kiddeth 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@erdsim4248]

When I watched to video, I realized that we only need one thing that is the heater. In fact, all the other parts are added for nothing, you dont even need the screen for resin printing. Just heater, heater and heater. Since GKTWO is the only model on the market with a heater, this makes it perfect :)

[@hamthomas4715]

I'm so very thankful I found your content BEFORE I fully invested in resin printing! The process has been sooo easy compared to the horror stories I've heard others have gone through, and that's all thanks to you!

[@Mr.MightyGaming]

Your videos have been a huge help with helping me decide if I want to get into resin printing. I already have a FDM printer, but it wasn't printing at the quality I wanted for miniatures. I ended up buying the GKTWO set as my first one today based on yours and some of the other reviewers! It's great content and really helps to inform us newbies trying to get into the space so thanks a lot!

[@lucaclerici1858]

Thanks for shedding light on resin 3D printing! As someone familiar with FDM, this is my first dive into resin printing. Your video provides invaluable insights for better understanding this world. 🙌

[@wolfiere6825]

As someone who uses FDM almost daily now, I have always wanted to get into resin just for the quality you can get in prints both for busts and minis. This video has been super informative.

[@CHlustanec]

I just conviced my wife, that we really need a 3d resin printer in my...I mean in our lives. Now I need to learn how to use it, because I really want to avoid "I told you its nonsense" situation :D

[@user-le7br1cg4e]

Trying to restart this hobby, and been watching your video for the last days (a lot)! Huge thanks for being so direct and transparent. Super well done! Especially the videos of screen resolution being irrelevant were a bit of an eye opener. Well done!

[@nm72510]

Knowing more about resin printing would have helped me substantially. I came from FDM printing terrain. I bought my first resin printer without realizing how frustrating and expensive it could be. I literally gave up after my first attempt and returned my printer. About two months ago, I bought a GKTwo and my experience has been significantly better.

[@tcunero]

So nice to have a miniatures printing channel. Honest fair and open. Thanks!

[@HamsterChew]

It was your channel that got me interested in printing in the first place. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@GameUpOG]

I've been printing since the pandemic started, and this video still taught me things I didn't know about, like increasing the lift height on printers with larger build areas.

[@FauxHammer]

Thank you

[@Lingsais]

I work with 3D printers at work, but don't own a resin printer myself, I do recommend this hobby to anybody who has time and a safe space for resin. A resin printer at home would be great though!

[@colinrice9302]

After finding out about 3d printing, trying it on a cheap fdm, failing, then finding out about resin and not wanting to fail again, I started watching many many vids. I finally found a trustworthy voice of guidance. If I don’t win, I’ll probably save up and buy one anyway. Thanks for your honest reviews.

[@nickjowett5735]

Love your channel Ross and thanks for helping out Guy!

[@JosephPalma]

Been 3d printing two weeks and I'm just finding all the best KZbinrs. I'm only doing fdm for now but do plan to add resin eventually. But I've watched a bunch of your videos and especially love you not blowing smoke about the differences between resolution and similar.

[@TheMLA66]

Great info, again you put out the best learning content around from printing to painting to needed tools, thanks for all the info.

[@theinsane88]

One of the best sources for honest info. Keep up the amazing job!

[@Johan-is4nz]

I recently started 3d printing and I'm really into warhammer so your videos are just perfect to learn everything there is to know about 3d printing, thank you !

[@Brandedwolf]

It's crazy how much printers like this are impacting the hobby. Thanks for this video :D

[@hdtpick]

Love all of your videos. Your videos got me into 3D printing and I can't get enough of it. A GKTWO would be an amazing addition to my 3D printing set up. Thank you FauxHammer

[@txed0msk]

Great video as always. Really trying to get into the hobby and you've made it feel so accessible. Thank you!

[@CAPEDM]

I’m extremely grateful that I discovered your content prior to fully diving into resin printing! The procedure has been incredibly straightforward, unlike the daunting experiences others have shared. All credit goes to you!

[@donnell9238]

Going to make my first purchase, one of the Phrozen Sonics mini or mighty idk yet.

[@software_eng]

Even for those of us that have been at it for a year or 2 this was still a great refresher

[@Pacerfan]

I've been needing a video like this to help me get into 3d printing. Thanks for the vid.

[@gregoryamer]

Thanks for the channel. Getting started with resin printing seemed extremely intimidating for me. Your videos helped me make a decision to try it.

[@DerekGuder]

It was great to see you & MidWinter do a collaboration. Love both of y’all’s work.

[@DadLearns]

Really appreciate your videos - this is another great one

[@clauberalex]

Since I've been researching resin 3d printing myself for the last few weeks, this video is just what I need! Thanks!

[@rodolforesurreccion8340]

Thank you for video. I’m trying to get into 3d printing. Your videos are a big help understanding the process.

[@cbytenski]

I have to say I was interested in resin printing for a few years now, but didn't dive in till I found your channel. Your videos gave me the confidence to give it a go and have loved every moment of it. I'm now looking at getting a second printer. Thank You!

[@savagelands4496]

Awesome, thanks for the video fauxhammer ❤

[@grbodeep9361]

Outstanding! Enjoy your thorough explanations & have a basic understanding for it so thank you.

[@mikesmith-jv6fs]

Great video, currently looking to upgrade my printers and you have been so much help :)

[@predator837]

Alot of great tips for someone who have researched the trials of a 3d resin printer. I will come back too this video when I get my first printer

[@tonyanaya8540]

Thank you. You have made the dive into resin 3d printing less stressful compared to jumping in blind. Your videos are extremely enlightening

[@JoeKer992]

Great video as always! Look forward to part 2!

[@DFDragoon]

Great vid to help new folks out. Was just talking about resin printers with my brother as he expressed some interest and asked me about them. Will make sure he gets a look at these vids. Thanks again!

[@hickdead6188]

Thanks for putting this information all together and in one place

[@orwinden]

Thank you for being such a great source for 3d printer knowledge!! 🙏

[@williamcosgrave4535]

Thanks for all the info you give.

[@Argent911]

Your videos have made me want to try resin printing, thanks for all the great info!

[@afo5924]

that man had exactly the same journey as me with the Anycubic, thanks to all the videos you make I am now thinking to give resin another try with the GK-TWO.

[@PereMorata]

Since I discovered your channel, I do not miss any of your videos. Uniform GK two was a blast when you first reviewed it

[@corax885]

Very informative Video, as always... Thanks You!

[@cookiemonster5118]

Done and Done! Thanks so much for you absolutely informative videos. You've helped this old man's introduction to resin printing exponentially!

[@S7Glock]

Great video, nice to see you getting back to basics. I watch a lot of your early videos when I was getting ready to buy my first resin printer last year.

[@garolish]

As always, nice and informative video. Even though I am not a beginner I can only appreciate you helping out everyone who is starting

[@wesadie]

Great video buddy, really helpful.

[@Aardvark_AU]

Thanks for the great content. I've been putting off 3D printing for a while now, until I stumbled upon your channel... you've made the whole process easy to understand and something I now feel confident to try. Your mix of reviews and "how to" videos are exactly what I needed. Cheers!!

[@kvn813]

Always enjoy FauxHammer's videos. Keep 'em coming.

[@ZeGermanAUS]

Great video and descriptions - will link to anyone i know thats looking to get into 3d printing

[@jasontornichio366]

Great video and I am looking forward to the next parts.

[@ZealousDragon]

Really great seeing your knowledge and bluntness 😉 grow since the beginning. Glad I came across you early on to see this. THANKS!

[@Mikepaintsred]

I've been umming and arring about getting into 3D printing the last few weeks and your videos have definitely steered me in a direction which is making it look more likely I will be confident in starting!

[@soulgamingttv858]

Amazing video! Wish I had this video when I first started my resin printing journey!

[@davidcamacho3739]

I've been running the GKTwo ever since you made the first video on it! Thank you for keeping up with the community and always being honest with us! Also, I hope your resin comes to the states one day!

[@stevemitchell5269]

I picked up the Geeetech ALKAID about 6 months ago and have been happily printing little things with that, but seeing all the fine detailed larger models available I've been eyeing up a larger printer, I've watched a lot of review videos from different places on many of the available options and it was your video on the GKtwo and the Printer of the year 2023 that set me on course to get one, now it's just about saving up and making more room in my work sapce!

[@Baleandor]

That heater is such a game changer! Printer on the balcony here we go!

[@hifischlp712]

listened to this video while I was cleaning and curing my last 3d print. I love to freshen up my knowledge on the hobby and especially the safety issues. Gladly am still doing everything right up to now ^^

[@kookieslayer]

That's going to be a real useful couple of videos!

[@JB_Anubis]

Ever time I watch one of your view I'm a step closer saving up to give this lot a go . Good job and keep it up

[@beikern]

Waiting for part 2! Very informative and well done :)

[@fivefurlife]

Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to part 2. This channel is the man reason I have gotten into resin printing.

[@jod3000]

Really good start to the series, looking forward to more

[@joshjesudowich2520]

Great video. Super insightful

[@GREENSP0RE]

Thanks for helping all us new folks out!

[@bigchef2112]

I’m glad I found your channel. You’ve really helped in dialing in to get some great prints on my mono m5. I produce parts in 1/32 to 1/16 for all types of automotive type cars.👍👍

[@aewers7]

getting ready to start printing myself your videos have been astronomically helpful for getting me ready to take this leap. thank you and keep up the great work

[@matthewdoucette1]

Thanks for all the reviews and research, very helpful!

[@josephhalfacre1584]

Great video with lots of great info. I think a big help for people who don't like "long videos" is to have time stamps that help impatient people move on to the info they actually need or want.

[@pwgreene]

I've had my resin printer for about 6 months now, so I have a pretty good grasp on the basics, but this video is invaluable for anyone who is brand new. I'm very much looking forward to part 2, as well as any videos about slicer settings.

[@charmande80]

I never heard of the GKtwo until your videos. Really love this printer. Great videos.

[@susand8816]

Thank you for doing this video series. I have friends and family who want to know about how to get started. Now I can add this series to my recommended list.

[@QuangNguyen-wb5kd]

Thanks for the info, I might finally get into resin because of you

[@baldurironshield5083]

thank you for all the videos it has be very helpful for finding out about new printers and the basics from a beginners perspective. Living in colder climates every printer needs to have a heater. ever since you presented the GK2 i have been looking to pick it up.

[@reprinted3D]

I have a friend in Discord who I just sent my old Anycubic Photon that had been collecting dust since it got replaced with an Elegoo Saturn. He's new to resin printing so this video will definitely help him!

[@mszoom0059]

I really enjoy your content keep it up! :D

[@theguard83]

Thanks for sharing, I’m sure it would be a great help for beginners and amateur too

[@Quuelas]

Really informative! I'm saving this to rewatch later to really take it all in

[@troll57100]

Your setup videos helped me get my og mars up and running again. Thanks!

[@theo._.5593]

Always great to cover the how to to beginner to expert, there's always new ppl jumping in and new tips to discover so I salute you for doing this :)

[@Tarok-2316]

I do love 3d printing, I had a Prusa mini and a Anycubic mono X both destroyed in a fire in my basement 😢 ( caused by a washing machine not them). One day I would like to purchase a Gktwo and a P1S, but those 2 will always remain in my memory and my heart ❤️

[@affroking]

Literally just watched this after I setup my new GKTwo, was invaluable, thanks for the run down of the fundamentals

[@GremlinDIY86]

Awesome vid. Been watching your videos to learn more into resin printing. Just got started on FDM recently. I really find this info usefull, keep up the good work.

[@jasonbrinkley2292]

Thanks for another great video Russ! You have the best educational channel on 3d resin printing, saved me a ton of time and money... and frustration!!

[@luisn7740]

The videos that you do are very interesting and informative. Thank you.

[@wesleyd5315]

I love the fact that I've watched that video from midwinter minis about three times and when I started looking into 3D printing I just so happened to find your channel, the one he had brought in for that video, completely by happenstance. Happy accidents.

[@FauxHammer]

nice to see you back then. Yeah Guy is a great bloke and a fantastic host. it was a pleasure to meet him and help out! He's done plenty for me

[@tormox1]

Thanks for the videos. Very helpful in getting started with the basics and the more advanced stuff.

[@punchboardchampion9266]

I'm currently saving to get a resin print. So much info on all the different print it's easy to get overwhelmed but your videos have been a great resource.

[@theborgster8497]

This is the channel I needed to find before flogging my first resin printer. Going to have to start over again.

[@henrywood8380]

Ive been looking to get a 3d printer and your videos have been very informative. Thank you for the Content!

[@robk5094]

Your set up any printer video was a life saver!

[@xX_Zieva_Xx]

Thank you so much for this video, I'm considering switching from FDM to Resin and this really helped :)

[@andraskovacs2436]

Nice beginner video for me, thank you! Just trying to get into the hobby myself, your channel is very informative.

[@dk292]

The heater looks like such a great quality of life upgrade, wish all printers had it

[@rorycampion5890]

Just what I needed, been FDM printing since Christmas but have gone from Cosplay helmets to sculptures/miniatures and have now started diving down the Resin rabbit hole and it's a little scary!

[@christianjeppsson6429]

Another GREAT video- thank you! Looking forward to the next one...and my new GKTwo

[@KevinJernigan]

Thank you for these. Not only are your videos are my goto when I want unbiased opinions and reviews. They are always helpful.

[@KarterAurian]

Am really enjoying your 3D printer tips and reviews.
