Hi everyone! In this contest we really push the boundaries of these extruders. Or should I say pull? Remember that the outcome of this event should not influence any buying decision. There are other factors at play when choosing the right extruder, like ease of use, weight, mounting options, extrusion consistency and durability. Extruders mostly exert pushing forces on filament where the filament "wants" to buckle. This is part of what makes printing flexible filaments so difficult. This is the opposite of what we show during this contest. But hey, this is a fun way to compare extruders!

[@calvinthedestroyer]

Don't forget that their Intro Theme Song is also a factor in choosing an Extruder. :)

[@buzzbbird]

Season 2? OMG DM1 Orbiter 2 and a few other new extruders should be included.

[@bryomuch]

cant wait ,but keep it short 4min 7min at most@@buzzbbird

[@chrisgeeraerts5868]

This video needs an award for concept, editing and originality ... I even didn't mind the loud music and watched through the whole ad part without skipping it.

[@samhughes1747]

I know!! This is so goofy, but I love it!

[@certivicator932]

I think clean audio without that much added background noise would be better but I have to say it is a original video

[@DSIVXX]

AvE inspired... all of proper's vids are awesome

[@3DPrintSOS]

This is straight gold. Well done! The bobcat did it for me. haha

[@cameronblackmon9540]

Yes!

[@IamJoeTV]

Just to clarify, it's a skid steer. Bobcat is a name brand of skid steer. Cheers!

[@3DPrintSOS]

@@IamJoeTV I tired so hard to think of the name. Haha. Slipped my mind. Eitherway, it was icing on the cake to the whole vid.

[@IamJoeTV]

@@3DPrintSOS Haha no problem at all, it was a great video. It showed me that my purchase of micro swiss was the right choice well for this kind of test anyways haha

[@Vez3D]

Wow guys!!! Im speechless! This is some serious pro editing and pro video making. I enjoyed watching it.. I did it twice hehe. I can't imagine the amount of work you have put into this. Thanks a lot for the laugh you gave me too. Big fan of your work here!! 👏

[@v1Broadcaster]

proper extruder Vz-HextrudORT next?

[@Loneman_OG]

I hope you know that you've just raised the bar really high for all the other 3d printing channels! Thank you! 😄👍

[@AlAmantea]

Definitely one of the best "ahoot out" series! Well done! Watching you doing a "field repair" at 12:40 , and then seeing your hair afterwards had me literally rolling on the floor!

[@matthewwain9958]

What an epic production. Just off the charts wow. This is an idea like we all dream of doing for video in our heads, but never end up doing. Epic. Just blown away by it. Awesome.

[@ricardo2859-y4t]

Jon, your projects are always amazing. The Proper Extruder speaks for itself. But you also pair it with the best videos. I agree with the other comments. This video concept deserves an award. This is premium youtube content. Nicely done guys!

[@hallowedshade125]

Why has this not been done before?! Jon is so much more than a beautifully mopped skull, he's an amazing brain as well. Love the "crowd" and voice overs too

[@cornvlad8580]

i would love to see more of this, like perhaps a hemera vs hemera xs, titan, lgx, stock creality extruder, knockoff bondtech vs genuine bondtech, etc

[@cornvlad8580]

also adding to that, an orbiter, sherpa mini, and biqu h2

[@properprinting]

Thanks for the suggestions! If it catches on we might do a similar event with different contestants :D

[@DIllybarification]

I'd like to see an OMG extruder in there too.

[@bami2]

@@properprinting Are we gonna get Extrudamania 2024?

[@MachineRight]

Entertainment factor was through the roof holy crap!!! Amazing job! Not easy to make a comparison of extruders entertaining so job well done! 👏

[@fixumdude]

Such a fun video! I can't imagine how much time went into creating it. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@properprinting]

Thanks! Setting everything up, the filming and editing was quite the challenge. I had to learn some basic Adobe After effects skills too and it was well worth it :D

[@konrad7592]

My first thought: 17 minutes and 23 seconds, watching two extruders tug... yeah... NOPE. My second thought, 2:15 in: I'm glad my hand disagreed with my brain.

[@axelbostrom3606]

I love this, it's so extremely over the top and silly whilst still being actually interesting! Amazing!

[@PhilippensTube]

Jon, this time you've outdone yourself! Of all original content in the 3D printing sphere, this takes the cake. I love your 'normal' content for it's originality and humour, but this is Olympic Level. Bravo!

[@properprinting]

Thanks Mike! We've seen your post on Facebook, thanks a lot for sharing!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

FREAKING BRILLIANT VIDEO!!!

[@properprinting]

Thanks Joel!

[@janpetersen8441]

Whoever said videos about 3D printer components have to be a listing of specs, need to watch this video. Brilliant work, just brilliant.

[@3DMusketeers]

Love this concept, the editing, shots, and the camera angles. Had me laughing and intently watching the whole time! Great BTS after the vid finished!

[@Schwift3D]

I LOVED this! You're killing it Man 👍❤️ come a long way from printing on carpet tiles 😂

[@properprinting]

Wow that's an oldie! :D

[@VincentGroenewold]

For such a small channel, you basically trump any other with original ideas and production value. Awesome stuff!

[@properprinting]

Thanks Vincent!

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Fun idea, this actually should be something they all should do to test these components out and improve their product.

[@properprinting]

Thanks! You can quickly see which parts fail which is very interesting. Normally extruders aren't stressed like this, but I think that lessons can be learned from it.

[@manarallego3745]

Honestly, I am truly fascinated by the idea. Have e.g. weight classes as well, to determine different characteristics for extruders under 250g/400g/600g etc. Soooo cooool, and actually useful as well!

[@CdoGtheGreat]

This has got to be the most fun to watch 3d printing video ever!!! Great job guys!

[@baraBober]

I was rooting for your design! Great video man!

[@ScytheNoire]

Micro Swiss should be using this win in their advertising. How amusing the two best got lined up against each other in the opening match.

[@BhEaN]

One of the greatest and funniest videos I've seen in the last months... AMAZING!!

[@marckart66]

These sorts of tests is what makes other companies make super extruders with mega capabilities that nobody can afford and never will use. That's great!

[@Slippeddiscs89]

orbiter, LGX, and a few others I'd like to see done, but that fun to watch. thank you for helping my dad go by better and faster

[@properprinting]

Yes me too! We had to start with something and if this catches on we might do a 2023 with different extruders ;)

[@TheSinzia]

That was great fun, I bet it was a blast to record everything! Great idea, and executed well. 10 out of 10!

[@kaveman3]

This is so fun! Thanks for doing this up so well. The front loader carrying away the loser is fantastic.

[@morbus5726]

I would love to see a comparison of the lightweight extruders (maybe sub 200g) like the orbiter v2, lgx lite, sherpa mini, etc.

[@123bookra]

dont froget the sunrise

[@Peter-DOC-Docter]

Briljante video gasten, goed bezig! I mean WOW, WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AND EXITING MATCH! OMG! NEVER HAS THEIR BEEN A BIGGER CONTEST! ...met harde elektrische gitaren op de achtegrond! ;)

[@woodcat7180]

Awesome. I would like to also see the poor man's LGX - the Triangle labs TBG-Lite and the LDO Orbiter v2.

[@chlevnikdeathclaw9922]

This video answers every question I had about these extruders. Very nice work. Just ordered my first Micro Swiss NG today!

[@backgammonbacon]

23rd September 2022 will be remembered as the day the internet finally became mainstream and its all thanks to this video.

[@HackMonkey]

Wow! What a fun video! The production value is through the roof. Loved the out takes at the end. Can't imagine how much time this must have required.

[@Nifty-Stuff]

WOW! Excellent job with this competition! You CLEARLY put a TON of time and work in setting this up, editing, etc. GREAT WORK! I hope it goes crazy viral!!

[@htpkey]

This video has no right to be this well produced! It's like I'm watching an episode of Battlebots, but for 3D printing! Amazing!

[@henninghoefer]

The video production value is fantastic in this one! (Also, super nice tests. I bet this was _a lot_ of work)

[@properprinting]

Thanks! Yes, it was😅

Superb quality, would be interesting to se the Orbiter and LGX added into the mix

[@leesmithsworkshop]

10/10 for effort, editing and humour.

[@Юрий-ч5м2ф]

The most creative extruder comparison I've ever seen! ) Bravo!

[@veda3dprinting]

Fantastic video Jon! A lot of hard work went into this video. Congrats to Micro Swiss and being crowned the winner....for now ;). Next round we want to enter our VXS system and see if we can dethrone the current champ. We just posted a short showing our extruder lifting 35kg of weights and training up for the next vid.

[@properprinting]

Thanks! That was an impressive video! It would be interesting to do a 2.85mm category as well :D

[@markroberts5636]

At 1:23 I just had to pause because I burst out laughing. Amazing.

This is "Squid Game" for 3d printer extruders. Next match.... hotends. Which one can extrude the most the fastest.

"MicroSwiss is Beyblading the OmniaDrop" hat mit laughing real hard 😂🤣😂.

[@michaelcutler7481]

Best. Video. Ever. This, for me, just won the Internet.

[@jasonlipavsky7371]

THAT WAS AWSOME, totally great idea of the match and this way you went about it, I was also super impressed to see how well your extruder did, but when you think about it the others where failing because the gear teeth would fill with grinds and the belts just grabs, not grinds so that becomes a non issue. You did great

[@elvitro410]

Amazing content! the results blew my mind

[@Chad.The.Flornadian]

LOVE the over-the-top production and effects. Top Notch! Keep entertaining us while we learn.

[@dragosbatca2954]

Man, never stop. This is it. You are meant to do this. Congrats !

[@damrobin]

Awesome work! My only question is were you able to make sure each extruder had an equal amount of pressure one the filament? I don't know if that would have made a difference in the results.

[@Silverskater69]

This is the vidéo of the year on 3D channels 😁👍, i'm proud to subscribe, well done for this job guys 😀 !!
