In case anyone is wondering what Zack is like to meet in person, he's exactly as you'd hope. Welcoming, friendly, a wonderful creative energy. He indulged me to talk a good 5 minutes about my filament hanger system. There was also this teenage neurodivergent guy there (game recognize game) and Zack handed his glasses to him to put them on. I demanded the guy's phone camera to take a picture so he would have proof of this beautiful memory. Zack is a good dude.

[@BasementStudi0s]

what a sweet moment. im sorta confused tho, how were the glasses important to the teen

[@bnl346]

@@b-rad7708 3D Print General is the author of 3d Printing Failures (available on Amazon), which has invaluable information on this hobby. It's a lot of what he used to have posted here on KZbin. I learned a ton from him on basic troubleshooting and fine tuning of printers and prints. He was also an advocate for the printed 2nd amendment community. He interviewed several guys like Ctrl Pew and also showcased many of his creations. Now, KZbin has strict guidelines on what you can and can't show in regards to these "types" of prints. For instance, you can't show anything in relation to assembly of the firearm. This guy was one of the cleanest channels, when it came to these guidelines, yet they still sent him a strike on his channel; then another. So, he started deleting anything related to 3d printed guns and appealed back to KZbin. Needless to say, KZbin was his career and he didn't want to risk getting his channel banned, permanently.... ....but then, someone, maybe a friend, started uploading some of his deleted videos on their own channel. KZbin took this as "dodging their strikes" and permanently banned his channel and all videos. All his catalog, all the income, was instantly gone. He's been trying to get something reinstated ever since. Heck, I believe even Linus Tech Tips was standing in for him, since he had more of KZbin's ear. Anyways, that's the long and short of it, I guess. The General was a wealth of information, banned for silly guidelines that he never was in violation of, in the first place.

I'm usually watching his videos in my Watch Later playlist on a second screen, but when wmI watch other things on my TV and I get to the end of a video where the creator has a sponsor and then nothing else, I click off. I imagine that's common, which is why many creators mid-roll their sponsors.

[@IggyJackson]

I'm not going to lie, I'm glad to hear you're going to shorten the credits. I always watch them because I know it's important for your metrics, but they've been getting pretty lengthy for a while now and it's been getting harder and harder to stick with it. Good compromise you've come up with I think.

[@peterbronez1188]

Yup. Credits are kinda fun but way too long. Makes complete sense to back off.

[@bearnaff9387]

I can definitely see a use for the Baby Belt printer. If you look around on KZbin enough, you will find people are beginning to LARP sci-fi open world survival games. Instead of just doing various forms of bushcraft, they're doing various forms of bushcraft while using a laptop and 3D printer they've drug out into the forest. It's silly as hell, but the Baby Belt looks like it's small and stable enough to print off a couple simple tools over a weekend for that sweet sweet ad revenue. Heck, if they get enough views, it might even pay for the filament they used during the video!

I got my very own copy of HueForge a week or so ago...it's been a slog, I think in part because the instructions come in video form, but in the software's defense my first project is something that it wasn't really designed to do in the first place. On the bright side, when I got it there was a coupon to get a healthy discount on a spool of Polymaker filament, and those guys are great supporters of the community so it wasn't a hard choice to pull the trigger on the whole deal.

[@TheElectronicDilettante]

You should add a Crawl to the bottom of the screen to display list of patrons, announce upcoming events, etc. It can run the whole episode or just to the end of the info. Thanks for all the great videos. You and the Mrs(I apologize if the title offends) do excellent work. Keep on, keepin’ on!

[@Z0M8I3D]

Can't wait till you switch up to only new names spoken thought the episode but you'll have to limit the number of new names to 10% of the video runtime while you'll have a secondary limit of also 10% run time of already named patrons and speed up the scroll to 250%.

On the braille training cell, it would be kinda cool to develop an open source way to read the positions of each pin for each letter and then have a impact printer of sorts kick out the output on the thick plastic label printer stock with adhesive backing. That would be very useful I would imagine. Mind you, I don't do software design or know enough about electronics to make this happen, but surely someone out there does.

Just a heads up that 3D Musketeer has now been caught on multiple occasions over the better part of a year making knowingly false claims about Bambu and their device security, in the latest showing likely fabricated evidence to "prove" that Bambu is stealing user IP.

[@riba2233]

Yep, he obviously has some grudge against them

[@adanufgail]

@@riba2233 hilariously, he claims to have bought an X1C secondhand and kept it offline after factory resetting it multiple times, but still saw evidence of the previous owner's prints on it. In the video he makes these claims with a timeline, he doesn't once mention the fact he has shown he has owned an X1C and used it prior to when he claims in the expose video, so we're supposed to believe that he owns multiple of these, and that he bought one second hand for forensic testing? Also he's stated in that same video that he was using the machine for customer prints (hence why he blurs out details), which begs the question: if you don't trust these machines, why are you using them for NDA-level client work? Why not print a dozen benches or other test prints? It's because he knows everything he said is a lie, and because "exposing" a Chinese company that is making Prusa look outdated (he's a MASSIVE Prusa fanboy, and Josef Prusa is also guilty of these same tactics against Bambu and other competitors) brings him views and makes him look credible to people who don't know better. He devotes a TON of time to making videos helping people with 3D printing issues, and runs what I must assume is a successful 3D design and print farm business. Had he not devoted such an amount of time to spewing obvious lies about topics he knows morning about, he could be as big as Zach, Joel, Teaching Tech, or other YTers in the space. Now he's just a joke who is counting on the fact that no bigger name has publicly called out his tactics.
