I was unaware of this meme prior to watching the video despite playing and loving both installments at release; your creativity and this new "tutorial" style video is really giving me an itch to buy a printer (which I've wanted to do for a while but never pulled the trigger on) as well as finally get into EE as a hobby (for the 2nd time haha, had an arduino starter kit years ago, lost it in a flood before I ever really dug into it 😞) Thank you for the inspiration! If I can be selfish for a moment, please keep making these tutorial style videos! 😁
