The dialogue sounds like an an automated ai just reading 100 pages of just bullet points with no natural pauses or emphasation of words.

[@basemakbik8224]

It's because the cuts in between dialogue. The content is nice though

[@iamwearingahat3000]

It makes my head hurt :((

[@devonkennedy1386]

Yeah this guy totally s ucks

[@LizardPilled]

Agreed. It's good content, but I wish he'd dial back the cadence of the dialogue.

[@cupcake_toucher445]

@@iamwearingahat3000 mine too, he sounds like a fucking emotionless ai who wants money so he sped up video

[@vevenaneathna]

nice, good editing, no nonesense, no ads, no segways, just facts

[@malaythakkar8772]

Fantastic! Thanks for the guide

[@evlsc400]

A printer with a filament run out sensor, all metal hotend and dual geared extruder will print the bottle filament with ease. You take a 1/16th drill bit and create your nozzle from a worn out one. You can put a small amount of water in the bottle to heat it up and it will expand without the need to pressurize it. The water gets so hot it cleans the inside and makes the glue on the bottle easier to come off.

[@basemakbik8224]

Its crazy i just saw the video before and this was posted 40 min ago. Perfect timing

[@hamsandwich780]

Love the video but all the cuts seem like a stylistic choice? I would probably avoid that in the future or work on adding a little more pause between each section of the audio when you knit things together - though it would be hard to believe you had to have so many takes to read that off!

[@Soul_Killer]

Incredible

[@temmietopegold]

any issues with layer adhesion ? just want to know ;

[@rafaelgarciarodriguez1333]

Which hot air gun did you use?

[@enriejayocate7994]

How wide should be the plastic strips?😊

[@O_KODEL_GI_NE]

Super video

[@user-cq3jy8vr8h]

Nice video

[@Justin-ng4zg]

Nice video @blake3dcake ! Question: Do you think you could figure out a way to join bottles so you get a longer spool of filament? I have not seen anyone try to pull-stude a joint of 2 bottles that have been plastic welded together.

[@headrobotics]

There might be a way to heat tack strips together. If you could thin out the end sections, ultrasonic welding could work well.

[@blake3dcake]

100% doable. There is a very narrow temperature range where PET bonds nicely to a separate piece of PET before crystallization. This is tricky if you also need to avoid deforming the adjacent segments of PET around the bond.

[@krushnalohar3283]

What is size of nozzle you take for pet filament? And pet material width for that

[@azimalif266]

Add the marker infront of the feeder to auto color the filament.

[@ingusmant]

Unrelated but are you in Arkansas?

[@meta-intelligence]

Would that come with poisoned air?

[@krushnalohar3283]

Can you share CAD file of filament making instrument machine?

[@n0tsl0th]

Post more blake

[@swiftraider6809]

Someone should fully automate this

[@thecatfromspace9239]

I understand that cutting your voice condenses your video but please don't. It's really annoying

[@dustintrips3168]

People keep shitting on your voice i see no problem with it! My only issue is this seems like a long time consuming process from start to finish to get filament BUT its free thats cool.

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

Those controllers are naturally bad for their pid temperature control. Have a look at my design. Arduino and a simple mosfet! 👌

[@asefron8159]

I can't understand what are you talking actually.

[@motusprimus8785]

The audio cutting is odd

[@johannesmajamaki2626]

If you're only doing one bottle per spool, why not go for a combined design like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ_SfoSXotuaj7csi=zdB6gFnaJjfBxrhY And btw I very much doubt the inventor of this technique is Western. Eastern block countries are way ahead of us here, since they've long had a combination of looots of plastic bottles everywhere and low income making commercial filament hellishly expensive. (The above video is Ukrainian.)

[@blake3dcake]

Thats a nice design!! That run-out detection is especially interesting. And you're right, Tylman probably didn't invent it. But like I said I think he did a great deal in popularizing it

[@Scab5679]

audio production ruins the value of this video

[@i.k.8868]

I get nauseous just thinking about plastic.

[@dagurorarinsson2827]

do you have a stutter? its fine bro we dont mind, you dont have to have a cut every 3 words

[@dominik4205]

yea the cuts in your monologue is quite disturbing, otherwise your video is nice.

[@hansdegroot652]

Gee what s stressvideo

[@KaliKavala]

Okay, nice theme. But man , leave some pauses between sentences and such. My brain cannot compensate for that fast pace talking + showing things. We all hate sluggish videos but man this is on the other end of the spectrum. I had to rewind so many times. Good job though :) Love the project

[@alpscraftshack599]

It might have been a good video, but, the bad dialogue / sound / voice ruined it. Would not subscribe to or support a channel that puts out poor quality videos like this.

[@seeyditti]

What is wrong with his voice?

[@Powerack]

Worthless!
