 What is up everybody? Welcome to the edge of tech. I'm Jim and I have a laser, a freaking laser. Happy Friday everybody. It's nine o'clock central. Happy Friday everybody. Wherever you're at, it doesn't matter. We're gonna rock and roll. We're gonna get this laser. This is the two trees, not three trees, two trees. TTS 55. We're gonna get this thing unboxed, built, and hopefully a first burn. And I just remembered something off the top of my head. I brought a wasteboard in, or I brought a wasteboard with me, but I left it in the car outside. So we'll see what happens. We're gonna get this thing rock and roll. And happy Saturday from the future. Yes, welcome from the future. Andrew S is in the future as well. Local maker Michigan talking about lasers earlier on Twitter. So you can check this one out too. Just waiting for a few people to get in here while I'm waiting. Actually, I'm gonna bring in a special guest, John from Tripods Garage is gonna join us. He already did a review on this laser. I thought it would be fun to have him commentate, maybe check out comments while we're building and tell me what I'm doing wrong. And, you know, he's got the leg up on the laser. So we're gonna get him in there. Hey, John, how are you? You've taken that pretty darn great there for the leg up stuff. Yeah, you know, I think I've used that about 17 times in the last. It sounds so fresh every time. I got the water rolling. I'm still coming off the additional souvenir I took home from Merf called COVID. So I got this stupid cough going still and, you know, I got home and didn't know I had it for like 24 hours and I gave it to my little guy and my wife. So that was not awesome. But the only reason why I tested is because I saw Daniel Modbot or Modbot post that he tested positive and I'm like, man, I got congestion. That's what I woke up with on Monday morning. I thought my voice was just shot because we talked so dang much at that Merf, you know. And so I got, you know, I had to congestion and a little bit of a headache and I was like, you know, I'm going to test it was Monday afternoon when he posted. I was like, I better test. Sure enough, it came back. But you guys, you guys left unscathed, right? You were at Merf. Well, yeah, we were all vaccinated in my house and we had it all in December. And my wife wakes up and we wake up one morning and it's like we both coughing and she's like, do you think we have it? I said, well, honey, everything's COVID now. So, you know, I'm like, so, and then it was just felt like a cold. And then people at our work started calling in, they're fully all vaccinated too. And then it's like, oh, we bring it tested. And then it went downhill a little bit from there. I might felt like a really bad flu. Hers was like a really bad cold with cough. I think it's almost like what you have and the daughter felt like she had strep throat. All, you know, her, she got it like a little bit later. But I think with this is you don't know you're contagious until after the fact. So yeah, yeah. And that's what happened. I wouldn't even have tested until I saw a Modbot post. I'm like, you know, I probably should. And then I saw everybody start I'm like, crap. But I work at a hospital full time. So you had to call in on Monday and let them know Monday, you know, after I tested, actually, we did a hot make show. And then I called in right after the hot make show. And then they made me go do a actual test Tuesday morning and they confirmed it, you know, through the real test or whatever. And then I got to take the whole week off and use my PTO. So that was the week that, you know, it wasn't the best. I got to use my PTO for nothing. But hey, I got some cool stuff done, which is great. And I did as much as I could with my knife go. I did. Yeah. I was hanging out with Sam Francis for a whole week. So where I was kind of worried that he would not get back, but he was fine too. Yeah. That would have been crazy if he would have tested positive and not been able to go back. Speaking of Sam, Francis, he'll be on hot makes on Monday. So, um, yeah, he's, he was, he was a lot of fun. There's some floating around out there that I'm sure people have may or may have not seen, but we're going to get this thing unboxed. We're going to get rocking. So if you have any questions, shoot them out there. John, if you see any questions, let me know on the chat. Why don't you make yourself a little bit bigger and I'll hang out on the side if you want. So that was the first time I've ever heard that. Well, you know, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's go. Let's go. Let's see. I know there's this other layout. Oh, that's at least why I said I'm hanging out on the side. I thought I could put you, I thought we could go the other way. That's great. We'll go this way. I don't care. Um, I was thinking I could put my, put you on the left side. Okay. But like, like we do for hot makes, this is super weird. There you go. It's all good. I mean, you're only taking stuff out of the box anyway. So this is, so this is a 5.5 watt laser diode. This is good for materials for like engraving wood, leather, basically like natural products. I mean, you're not going to be able to engrave or etch effectively any type of metal. You are basically oxidizing stainless steel, unless you do some type of coating on there to enhance it. So there's are some coatings that you could spray on metal. Just like, um, like what I do with less is I will put a tempura paint on there. It's a wash bowl paint that you'll see in lots of grade schools and, you know, that someone just asked me about tempura paint and I didn't even know what that was. So, um, I've always used, you know, spray paint stuff like that, but yeah, tempura paint is really great to use. Um, I, I have some samples that I could bring out. Um, actually I did Andrew, Andrew s. Yes, he did. I got caught up in Murph and then I got sick. I need to get back with Nick because we're going to set up a date and I didn't give him a date yet. So yeah. So this, this was done on that laser engraver. Hang on. I'll, uh, I'll blow you up. Blow me up. Blow you up. Here we go. Yeah. So this was done on that laser. This is a bamboo board. I have to check my settings and maybe I can give those to, depends on what Jim tests with. Yeah. Um, my, my two trees did not come with a, any use sample material. Hopefully yours does. Uh, if it doesn't, we'll fake it till we make it. Like I said, I actually left my, um, I left my, I brought a waste board and, um, another board to carve on or to burn in, uh, in the car jumped out of here and totally forgot it up there, but so let's pop this bad boy open. Um, so I do have the top cam going so you guys can see what, what comes in the box a little easier. Um, we'll send you a sneak peek, but it can't show. Okay. I'm definitely need to check that out, Andrew. So Andrew is hooking me up with another awesome guest, um, on HotMakes and, um, that's going to be pretty cool. So this is, uh, hey, it looks like a piece of cardboard in here so we can burn that. Nice. Um, little bag of stuff. So I've had this laser for quite a long time, probably, um, as long as tripod has, when he got his, because they kind of all send them in batches normally. Um, I just have not done this yet and I apologize to trees. It's been, uh, it's been an interesting couple of months. Um, yeah, I'm just way behind. So yeah, what they'll do is blasted all, you know, for product reviews. It takes a while for us to get it. It's, you know, and when we get it, then they want to try to release them all at the same time within the same month at least. And given the fact that Murph was coming up and everything, it was a, you know, ice scramble to get mine out. So I can't imagine what, how many you have reviews going on. So we both work full time, by the way. So right. We'll just say stay tuned for, um, stay tuned for quite a few live streams coming up. Um, well, we got a huge audience of 18 going out. That's, that's a pretty impressive audience for a Friday night. Hey, 19, 19. Yeah, there's a couple of things. Go ahead. I was going to say, there's quite a number of competing streams right now. So yeah, I didn't even look. Um, I think, uh, I saw somebody just go live, maybe Matt, Akuma odds, maybe. So this is your laser box right here. You know, your laser head. That's a 5.5 watt laser. That's what the TTS five, five means 5.5 laser. Mm hmm. And then we've got this, uh, control box. It looks like it's a 32 bit control box. And I actually opened that up. It does have capabilities of adding, um, limit switches, but I never did it. I, uh, I, I don't know. I really, I really prefer limit switches on my lasers, but it just makes things a little easier. Um, looks like a part of a gantry and a belt. Yep. Um, I'm just going to keep moving here. There's a dual X stepper motors, which is kind of weird having one for that small in light of a machine. This is, yeah, right. This is, uh, let's see parts. Um, that, that's good though. I mean, dual, dual X stepper motors. I mean, a lot of them, well, for instance, or tours have the, the drive bar and they're, they're connected with that, either that bar or some of them are belt connected. Um, here's some more parts. We're just going to start rock of the roll in here. More parts. Imagine that this is a lot of parts. They say it's 60% preassembled. And when I actually made a comment on my video, I'm like, it doesn't feel like it. Yeah. I'm already seeing that right now. Um, to be fair, uh, a lot of the newer lasers, um, especially in this price range, just as five something, I think, um, are a little more put together. But hey, uh, that doesn't say it's a bad laser. It just means, um, it's a little more put together. This was your favorite thing. I think you said what the heck is this? Oh, so that is a phone holder. A phone holder. Yeah. I mean, do you use it to put the thing together? Yeah, I guess it's to watch the video on how to assemble it. Nice. I think that's what they're trying to say. There you go. Yeah. So Paul, Afini, you won one. Oh, that's pretty cool. Um, uh, smash boy. Hello stream. Where did you win it? Philippines. Hc. Fire. No. Yeah. I'm on the stream. Anything's possible. Yes, it definitely is. The last laser I did here didn't fire at all. So we couldn't get anything off of it. Um, so that was fun. Yeah. The extrusions have measuring on all four corners. This is a 300 by 300. It's actually a smaller one in a class of open and lasers. So I'm going to put this off over here. Uh, we'll just start. Yeah, the extrusion's not a big fan of, uh, all the surround wrap, but yeah, it looks like Jim is digging through it. But, uh, yeah, so it's, um, very, very light. Mine is actually hanging up right back there. Uh, nice. So I use my slat wall to hang my lasers. So, uh, spoiler alert. You won't see too many more of these in the near future because I have this one. I think I have another one in there I need to do. Um, and then I've been saying no to these because they're very similar. They're all very similar. Um, and I just don't have the time to do all of them as much as I want to. And I don't have the space. It's true. It's, uh, he's open laser. So I've been cutting back on some of my reviews also because they're very similar, especially the ones that are at Adam stack clones. I just don't even reply to the emails. I get two or three of them a week and it's like, right? You know, it has to be something that stands out for me out of the pack. I mean, they're very similar. They're all like rebranded the same thing, but rebranded, you know? Yeah. I mean, this is totally different looking at least. Yeah. You know, and it's got injected molded plastics. It's not 3D printed. So it's, uh, show that. Yep. Maybe. Um, yeah. I mean, it's very nice. I mean, that part's really nice. It even has left on here. I think this one said right and maybe it didn't. I thought I saw it. Yeah. It does say right. So it says has a little, uh, right and left markers, which is awesome. Um, Paul Feeney, you poor bloke. Too many products. No, it's not, it's not about this. Uh, it's, it's hard to explain. So for one, hang on. Paul Feeney, um, you submitted your lead ahead for the two trees anniversary contest. Awesome. I saw that. Also, um, I purchased a larger size. That's cool, Paul. Uh, and then you poor bloke, too many products. It's not about the product. Like I love checking out new stuff. I really, really do. The, the challenge I have is most of it's the same. So I can show you the same laser six times in different colors and different branding. And it's all, a lot of it's very similar. And that's, that's where I'm, it's like an Ender three. It's like, you know, you, you get 700 Ender threes and, um, you know, people don't want to see the same Ender three anymore. They want to see the bamboo X1 carbon now. Hey, by the way, did I tell you I have one of those, John? Um, I, does it pop popcorn? Ha, yeah. So I, I'll let you in a little, little secret here that Sam and I were going to, we didn't have enough time. I was going to take over your section while you're gone or before you came in the morning. And I had a popped bag of popcorn and an unpacked pop. I was going to say, and now we got the bamboo. It does. It pops popcorn. And I was going to take things out like it was like a timer. That would be awesome. That would have been awesome. Uh, real quick, I do like when manufacturers do this, and I appreciate this a lot. They labeled each bag, maybe you can see that with, with what size, um, bolts these are. And I appreciate that greatly because then you're not just guessing. So I really do appreciate that. Um, the problem is how to make it interesting for, yes, I mean, that's the true story because if it's the same printer over and over, then how do we make it so you want to watch it? You know, over and over. I add food at the end of every laser thing. So it's like my little, you know, it's like, okay, what's John? What's the food that John's going to do at the end of the video? I love that. Um, and, and, and just so you know, I, I am absolutely 100%, um, pumped every time I get something new. And it's because of people like you guys watching right now, you know, that that keeps happening for the channel. And I'm in no way saying that, like, I'm too good to look at anything or anything like that at all, because anything that's offered is, is amazing. But it's just time. It's, you know, I have a full-time job. I have a two-year-old and a family and I do this. So it's all about time, right? Blasto, how you doing? Syntax, let's see. I can't stick around, but I'm really glad both give your time to us all. Oh, for those of the backlogs, yes. This is a pretty long little build. So I'll take care of the chat and we'll talk as you go through, because I'm going to rock along this thing took. I'm definitely going to start rocking and rolling, but, um, I know you can't stay around. I appreciate you being here. I appreciate everyone being here because without you guys, recently I hit 60,000. So without you guys, it wouldn't be there. It wouldn't be there. Do you guys want to see top, top down when I build this? I think that's probably good, right? Let's go. Let's go top down. I need to, I need to do a top down camera for my garage. This and it'll show. And then I'll bring the GoPro over to you for a third camera if we need to. Blasto, it's doing great. Hey, Blasto, I have stuff for you, man. I have that Lenovo um, think pad the laptop, um, that I need to get to you. I think you wanted that. We got to make that happen. All right. So let's, let's pull out this manual. Let's get this rocking. How you doing there, Brad? Rest it, uh, like button. And I, Brad, Alston, River City, saying howdy folks. What up, River City? I don't, where's River City? Uh, River City, RVA. I'm guessing it's right by the river. Wait, do you live in a van, Brad? I need to know. Rhonda, how you doing? What's going on Rhonda? All right. Let's see what we got. So, uh, let me, let me do this so you guys can see a little bit of a tiny top view of me. So, uh, if you just joining us, um, John try it from Tripods Garage is here with me tonight. He's going to be, um, kind of talking everybody and, and guiding me through this a little bit because he actually already did a review on this and to check out that video. I watched it and, uh, I actually watched it earlier today and, uh, I have way behind on YouTube videos as well. Uh, but I watched it earlier and, and it's definitely a good video. Like, like you were talking about, you need to stick around and see what you burn at the end there. Um, maybe, Brad, I'm loving my new X2D1 10 watt. I just got the month ago, but now they just came out with the 20 watt. Yeah. I may know something about that. Just my, yeah, I, I'm not going to lie. I really like that, that laser too. Um, I don't want to say, not, not to say that during a stream for two trees, but it's a really nice competition. And they know that any, any one of them, you know, this is for a different class. So this is, you know, this is, you still are in the entry-level laser market, which this one is, and they understand, you know, anyone needs to understand that in the chat, it's going to be other things brought up. So we'll be okay. I think. Yes. Chris Travis, I saw the review of the D1 Pro. Mine will be out soon. So I was working on some of it today, getting that, I do all those call-outs that, you know, when building, and it just takes a long time to edit that part in. So I did all that throughout the week here and there. Next we've been dined it. Now I get to do the fun part of burning everything. So I'm looking at the really nice instructions they gave me here. Yeah. So why did you install the frames? So the instructions say install the frames. So yeah, so your legs are going to go through it. Okay. Your four corners, right? So you got to pay attention to how, so it's, I believe it's only one bolt per side. And then the, the legs will have another through bolt that goes through to secure everything in. Yeah. Tripods, Grudge Warrior requirements to run light burn as it is a free or paid service. I use everyone that I know will use light burn over laser gerbil any day of the week. It's only like a $60 lifetime purchase. And now they also have galval support. So which is a, for like the fiber lasers. Unfortunately, I have a Mr. Carve M1 and it's not compatible because they have a proprietary board. So that's the only thing that you need to look out for when you buy a laser is to see if it has light burn support. So I kind of have a question on yours. Yeah. Are your numbers matching? So zero on one side, like zero here. Give me a second. I'm going to go pull mine off the because the way they have it shown, that's not the case. But I have a feeling we're going to go like that. Maybe like that. I don't know. We're going to find out. All right. Y axis profile. Okay. So let me grab it doesn't tell me. Oh, here it is. Um, five, they're M5 20 by fours and five 20 by fours. And like I said, all of the packages are actually labeled and I like that the M5 20. And you'll need actually, I said M5 20 by four, the M5 20. And you'll need four of them. That's what it said. All right. I apologize. I'm not watching. I definitely don't use light burn. Yeah, you're going to be sending a screw through on each corner and the legs get two screws. So you send them through in each corner first. And then our is yours. Um, if I'm if I'm looking at this, let's see, if I'm looking at this top down like this here, yeah, there's these two countersunk ones here. Yep. It shows the countersink facing in. Oops. So it shows the countersinking facing in towards the laser. Yeah. Okay. So you got two bolts. The two bolt holes are your front for your display, your control board. Okay. So that's your two front ones. So you should have a Is that the countersunk part? Yeah. So yeah, you should have Are those numbers facing this way or this way? Like, should I be? Oh, yeah, turn it around the other way. Yep. So all your, yeah, all your, um, your lines for your, you know, your ruler are facing inward. So got it. Yep. Got to get it. Yeah. And then what I see on this, if I'm looking at this correctly, um, on this here, I'm just trying to build it like they show me. It's on one side, it's 44. And the other side is zero. Is that right? Yep. Cool. So it's not 0044444. Yep. Yeah. So it's a, yeah, it's kind of confusing. But yeah, I just want to make sure those numbers aren't supposed to line up because you think they would. I think it's purely decoration. Got it. I've never, let's do this. Yeah. I've had, I have, let's see, one, two, three, four, five lasers that have markings for measurements. I've never used it. Any of that shit. Hello. All right, Paul. Uh, let's see. I'm not gonna tighten these all the way yet. You still need things for your shelf. Um, on the side of the family. Yeah. I love stuff for the shelf. A patch latch, tried laser, durable, and the tried light burn, light burn is well worth the cost. Absolutely. 100%. Yeah. There's, I have a saying in my videos, anything that's free is not worth having. So, well, in some ways, for the laser gerbil, that's only in my laser video. I see that. Yeah. So I'm just trying to not put that in the wrong hole there. There we go. Okay. Yeah, that's never a good thing. Yeah. There's usually some bad consequences. I'm not, I'm not tightening these down yet. No. I'm just trying to get them in. Yeah. So that was the thing I made was, I didn't, you know, I didn't send the screws in through the sides at first and I was like, oh, okay. Because the legs actually help secure it and lock it in. Gotcha. So what, what bothers, what, what's concerning me now is the two sides here, these two sides, these numbers are flipped. It bothers me. Yeah. So they're not, they're not like zeros and 44, you know, they're 44 here and 44 here down here. I could show you that. And it bothers me that they're not on the same, I don't know, that they're not printed on the same because I guess maybe I'm crazy but it is symmetrical. The top and bottom are zeros and the 40s are the same, right? Yeah. Am I, am I crazy? The number, the numbering, wait a minute, did I do this wrong? Well, they stenciled each one the same and just kind of throws you off. You know what? I might have put this in wrong. Well, that's why I was, I was looking at mine right here and you're, okay, hold on, turn it around, flip it and just turn it. Yep, keep on going, keep on going, one more, a little bit. Yep. Okay. Nope. If you have the screw holes on that one in front of you, tilted, you should have like six screw holes in front. And then the countersink is inside. Yeah. Yep. So you got, yep, that's your, that's where your control board, nothing, there should be no screws on the, on the back piece. I'm just looking at where it was printed. Yeah. It's actually facing me. Yeah. Yeah. So you got that one backwards. This one is? Yeah. So it is wrong then because this side is zero up front and this, this should be 44 in the back. Yeah. So all your, all your measurements should be on the inside. Yeah. That's what I, that's what I was looking at. But I wonder, so, so in your top right, no, top left corner, is it say 44 and 44 next to each other? So my lower right says 44 and 44 and my upper left says 44 and 44. Okay. Yeah. So yeah. 40 and 44 and then 40. Yeah. So I did. I just had this one on backwards here. Yeah. That was the only one that I don't know if that'll matter or not. No, I don't think it does. I think I'll flip it. Yeah. I think it's, three rows in below. Skydown, how you doing? Skydown, if I remember right, Skydown is, I could be wrong. I think it is. Skydown is the guy who brought the truck load of, of spools. Oh, nice. Yeah. Tell me if I'm wrong on that, but I'm confuzzling everyone. Yeah. So basically long story short, I have one of these extrusions backwards and it just, it probably didn't matter because I looked at the screw holes on the back one. It really probably didn't matter on this one, but I'm going to change it and I'll show you what I mean in a second here. Everybody's like, what is this guy talking about? All right. So next, so we got that in there and now we're going to add the feet. So yeah, Skydown, he's brought the truckload of spools and working on another one for next year. Nice. That's awesome. Got a little bit of time. Is this the 5.5S? I think this is the, what, 55? Yeah. Yeah. TTS 55S. So they have two versions of it. This is the updated version. I do like the, you know, I do like the parts that are not printed. Yeah. They definitely have a nice feel to them and they're, you know, nice touch and all that. But yeah. Yeah. All right. M5, let's see, M510s. Got it. So now we're going to put the feet on. Yes. Yeah, it's Skydown. I was so mad when I ordered wrong speed control from mine. Yeah. And you're the only one that didn't fry. I'm pretty sure. I got to figure mine out because I'm pretty sure that my, I don't know, my motors won't turn. So they definitely could have fried. I could tell you who did fry. I'm pretty sure Lowell's bought fried theirs. Oh yeah. Yeah. Theirs were smoking. I mean, and the same fried his too. Oh, did he? Yeah. I mean, I think that's what benefited me is that I couldn't go any faster than I was. I couldn't fry anything. But it was getting really hard to turn. I mean, it was, Ed Tarmac was just freshly to asphalt and it just did not, those things just did not want to turn. So yeah, right. All right. So this is interesting. Let's see if I can maybe do this. This is a little bit tall right now. So local maker, I'm not sure if it's going to be something new. If anything, it might be, if it does happen, if the racers are similar, they may just be a little bit design tweaks. Sam made a video when he was here, a couple of them somewhere where if you're looking back when I'm working, things are catching on fire. But there's some tweaks that I like to see done that like the component bay just needs to be wider on the inside. It's just too crammed. The electronics need to breathe. But also it just, there's not enough room for a bigger, better, bigger, better battery for, you know, more milliamps. So. Right. Yeah. It's a, the group has gained some popularity right now. So it's on the Facebook group. So we will be advertising to heck out of it myself, Sam, and whoever wants to be in it. And there'll be some type of scheduling thing. We don't know if we're going to just do like pull on battle bots, you know, those entries, you know, like, or just, or just races. I think we should have different types with weapons, real weapons. I like it. So it's called for these M510s. That's what I'm here. The price point for that laser is around $300. I don't think that's going to fit. So up there, Mr. Brian Vines. These be 3Ds in the house? Yep. I see now. Yeah. So you'll see that the screws go through those. And then you could, they kind of locks in the corners. Yeah. And then you could tighten in the screw on the side. Oh, and there's an M520 that goes in next. God, you know what? Oh, yeah, I can still get to the other screws. That's one thing I liked about the design. I was like, oh, it's meant to all be tightened down. Yeah, later. Brian's in the house. What's up, man? Maybe? We're building lasers, stinking lasers, Brian. I'm printing a thing on my bamboo, a carbon text, the receptacle to catch printer poops. Yes, I saw that. Someone posted that in Facebook group, I think. Yeah, I saw it, and it looks so official that that thing. I thought that they were selling it. Nice. Yeah, I just filled out my form or whatever. Yeah, I did as well. It goes over here. So this is a cool design as it kind of sits over the corners. It locks in. If I go pro would be not crazy. Yeah, it locks in. After you start building it, you kind of get into like the engineer's minds of how they were making it and designing. And it's like, okay, I see. And then you get into a flow, but your entry is what's going to be the tricky part. So what's cool about it, maybe it's not the best because it's going to be hard to see. But this foot locks around the gantries. And then there's one screw that goes in here and another one that goes in here. So this is going to be square. Well, the square is these, you know, printed, or these parts are right. So they just, maybe if I can do it with one hand, there we go. Clips on like that. So it goes over both. One screw goes in the first hole here. The other one, there'll be a bigger one that goes in the second hole in the second here. And I kind of like that. I'm digging that a lot because it does lock you in. Okay, so I'm kind of playing a FDM printer. What's the best under 500? Well, that is so tough now. I mean, it's like, it's almost like what features do you want? I mean, you want a Cartesian. Do you want, I mean, so there's, compared to when I got into the space, the Ender 5 Plus behind me, that's my first printer. Great printer, by the way. It is, you know, the frame is what sold me on it more than anything. I loved my Ender 5 when I first got it. And I was the first one out there to show a Ender 5 Pro. And I was, I had the first one, the first video and no one believed that it was real. I did a live stream on it and then I put a video out and I was like, it's real. Well, the thing is, it was a reseller that sent it to me and they didn't have it on the Creality site yet. So nobody believed me. They're like, it's not a thing. I was like, I'm telling you, I have it in front of me. It's a thing. But it was awesome. I absolutely love those machines, the Ender 5s and I got the Ender 5 Plus. Love that machine. And if you, I mean, again, a Prusa Mini, it really depends on your build size as well. What size you look in. That's exactly what I was going to say. First, you need to see if you're only doing small parts. I mean, my Prusa Mini is the one that I could totally trust. That's the only one that I can, that I trust a remote executed job on of all my printers. Because it just, it worked right out of the box the first time and every time. But you know, I'm, you know, I'm a fan of the Kaewoo printers myself. But you know, I got my Ender 3 Pro-ish, as I call it, because it no longer has a minimal power supply in it. But you know, it depends. You want to make a printer how you want it and start with something that's cheap and small or you want something without a box and everything that you want on it. So yeah, you have to take your club and you got the people that just want everything that you just buy, right? 100% agreed. And if, you know, it's funny, I just realized my nightbot is completely wrong. I haven't set up for Hot Makes this whole time and I'm like, Hot Make, what is it doing? So Hot Makes is our Monday night show on, we have been broadcasting it here as well. And I haven't streamed in a minute. So I didn't turn all these, you know, all these things here. I got to figure out something's beeping in my garage randomly. Smoke detector. Is any cubic cobra garbage? I don't have one. I can't tell you that. Sam Francis has one. I know there's a few of them out there. Yeah, he's, you know, he has actually good videos out on basically all the, you know, any cubics. Yeah. Ender 3 S1 price comes down. It was great for very little to no modding. Yes. You know what? Ender 3 S1 was not a bad machine. I actually have one. I have the S1 Pro, as you've seen on the channel, both of those. And I just got, right before Murph, I just got the Ender 3 S1 Plus. So I'm going to do a live unboxing of that pretty soon. And then I just got, I just was told that they're sending me, last night, Creality reached out and they're sending me the Ender 3 Neo, I think it's called something like that. Basically, basically the V2, the Ender 3 V2 new version of that is what they told me. As far as I know, that's the new version of the Max, the Ender 3 Max. What they told me last night was it's the new version of the Ender 3 V2. Oh, okay. No, the Plus might be the new version of the Max though. Okay. But we'll see. We'll find out. So yes, it's the, I have enrolled in the Creality printer of the month club. This is true. We're talking printers, but we're rocking to roll through this. So I got all the bolts tightened here. So the frame is, I'm going to say this is solid. Yeah. And it doesn't get much heavier after that, after you get the gantry assembled. Now, this is the part that's going to. Yeah, listen to this. And all the belts are pre-tightened except for your gantry belt. So your Y. Can I, is there eccentric nuts on these? No. So the way that it works is that it's it's not eccentric. Is it eccentric in there on the side? Yeah. It's a pinch, like, I don't even call it a nut. It's like a sheet of steel or something that's in there that pushes it. Right. So if you need to adjust it, you have to loosen up one of those M3 bolts on the side and pull on it and then tighten it. So mine came at the right tension. I would worry about it after you put your Y on. Listen to this. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think it needs to be tightened or I mean, is the belt that loose? It might be. You know what? It might be the gear slipping. I'll tighten. We'll tighten belts when it gets there. Okay. Okay. The check, it says check the wheels. Make sure they're good and they're fitting good. Make sure the, there is eccentric nuts. At least they're calling them out on here that there's eccentric nuts. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yes. Sorry. On the sides, there are eccentric nuts. Yes. Yes. So install the X-axis next. So we're going to do that. It looks like mine. It says mine to the assembly order dummy. That's what it, that's like the exact words it says to me. Yeah. You got to do eccentric nuts on both sides on the top. Perfect. That's what I'm thinking. What size is the S1 plus? I'm not sure. I believe it's three by three by three like Skydown said. Let's see. So it says mind the assemble order. What am I supposed to mind? It just says there's profile aligns with the slots on the left and tensioner on the right. Oh, you got to put the tensioner on it. I'm assuming. Yeah. Okay. So here's this. I'm guessing wires go in the back. I'm just going to sit here. Where's that tensioners check? I'm guessing they want me to put a belt on, huh? The instructions could be a little better. Yep. Whoa. Did you just tip over? Yes. It's my TPS. It's like bearer always lays by me and he stretched and said, you know what? I don't want that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So it looks like we're going to put a couple of what is happening here. Install the carriage. These instructions are... It's not fun. They're tough. Because it's not even telling me unless I'm not that far ahead yet. Yeah. You know what? You got to go further in the book. So it's step three. It says after assembly of X axis, you know, put this on, right? But then it goes 3.2. Install the carriage. So it looks like they're giving you the steps in order if you go further in the book. So maybe I'll read closer. So if you have any questions about this thing, this is the Two Trees TTS, right? TTS 55. So it's a 300 by 300 with a 5.5 watt laser diode. It is a 455 nanometer, which is a standard diode laser. Yeah. And there is some confusion on their sites because what they do with some of these manufacturers is they will give you the output of the power supply and say it's a 20 watt output. But when it's actually, you always want to know the optical out of the laser. As your printer pointed out to local maker, I think it was on there. It's a very confusing thing. Always look at optical out. Don't ever pay attention to what the power supply says. It's totally a gimmick in the industry. Yeah. It definitely confuses a lot of people because you'll be like, yeah, I have a 20 watt laser and and then they'll be like, no, you don't. You have a 5 watt, you know, a 5 watt laser. Man, don't mind me. I'm just, there we go, trying to get this on. So you got to put this on the gantry and then the belter round. Boom. Here we go. Check. That looks better. It's interesting that there's a wire supposed to be facing downward. Okay. So this is another tricky part here, Jim. Yeah. Sorry, I turned away from my mic and not wearing my lapel. So you want to make sure that your front is on your gantry. You know, like, was it build dad build? He put his together wrong. So, on the front, make sure he had this reversed the gantry. So you want to make sure that the front is on there. Let me see. What do you mean by the front? Yeah. So it's a, it looks like let me change my. Yeah, that's the correct way. Yeah. So then your wires, the actual wiring wires are faced down right now, right? They come out of the bottom. I'm checking. Checking. Yes. So this is what I got. So this is the top with all the holes that I saw in the instructions. This is your screw knob here. Yep. Belt goes around, wires come out the bottom. Yep. Boom. So if this is, this is kind of a more lengthy build than I thought, like you said, just because I think a lot of these lasers in this class are not so much anymore, you know. Yeah, this is, yeah, I wasn't expecting that extensive of a build. There we go. But I mean, once you get it together, it's very solid and again, it's very light. Yeah, it is. So far, like it's both of those things. Okay. So I got that on there. Check. Got that around there. Check. Then I'm going to put, it looks like a tensioner on with an M4 by 16 volt with the tensioner internals. Yeah, Andrew, it's right. You know, you say it's a thousand watt with a focal length of 0.2, meaning the actual 10 watt. Yeah. Yeah. It's a, it's a atom stack and other companies. Who was the other one? I called them out on it. They didn't like it pretty much. It can't be it. No. M4 16. All right, where are you? My lasers are hanging on my slat wall behind me right there. Oh, I see. This is the internal parts. So you have to actually take off. Oh yeah, because it's already looped. So I have to take off this pulley here. If you can see that, there's a pulley in this tensioner. You got to take that out. That's interesting as well. Yeah, they tell you to take, take apart the pulley because you have to to get the belt around it. Yeah, I just was looking for a screw and stuff. I'm like, wait a minute, that's not right. And it looks like the tensioner goes on right this side, the right side. Yep, the right side. So then I'm going to put, you know, I'm going to let you guys watch me struggle through this here. Let's go here. Struggle is real. Why not? So here's your belt. I'm just trying to rest it on here, but it keeps falling. Here's the tensioner pulley. You can see it in there. So there's that. And then this piece needs to go back over the pulley. And then there's another screw here that has to go back in this to hold the pulley in place. And then your belt is on that tensioner. So I mean, I get, I get what they're doing here and the tensioner is nice to have. And I don't know if it would have been easier just to put this part on this already or not. But yeah, it's just extra steps. But the nice thing is, just like the original Ender three, you'll know this laser when you're done because you put it all together. Yeah, the six lasers I have, two, three of them, half of them have a, use a, a T nut to hold it down instead of, and then you pull, you pull it and then you use a T nut to fasten it down. I, I've done three scratch build lasers. This is the Andrew S engravers and the dials I bought were cheap garbage and burnt out within months, but they're easily to build when you got more spares than you know what to do with. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sky down. How easy is the software to use from these light burn? It was amazing to see an action. Yes, light burn. If you, the way I kind of like look at light burn, it's got that, if you're familiar, like with windows, even Mac, right? I'm more of a windows guy, but it's got the interface where you start navigating, almost figure it out on your own. And there's a matter of learning your speed and power. Yeah. And there's a lot of videos out there too. I swear this is how this goes in here, but this is, I'm trying to put the pulley back in the freaking, maybe I'm upside down. Let's see. Yeah. So you're gonna be, when you put that in, you're gonna have to send in the two screws and through the extrusion. Let's see. Let's see. So it goes like this. So I gotta put this thing on right. Maybe that's the problem. Let's see. So it goes like that. This needs to go on like this, I think. And maybe, come on. You're joking. All right. So you're, you're gonna have sides that have indents on it. Okay. Those, those go, that's not, that's gonna be your, how can I say it? They're, okay. See how that one has, yeah, that has to, your screw holes go onto the top. Right. My what? My screw holes go under the, the tracks go in the tracks, right? Yeah. Yeah. Is that what you're saying? I think it'll look right here. And your, is that the silver? Uh-oh. You know what? I bet my pulley's on backwards. Okay. Maybe. I don't know if it matters or not, really, but. No, it doesn't look like you do because that, that not, that pulley on the other end has to grab that threaded insert. Right. Right there. So, so this needs to slide into this. Yep. And that's your end. Yep. And maybe it needs to go in like that. Because on yours you had that, there's a threaded, um, a threaded piece that's sticking up through this window. Yeah. Um, what in the, so you can see right there. As you tracks, it's supposed, looks like it's supposed to just slide into there. It does. It will slide right in. I mean, it's, it's, this is the part that literally takes the longest is what you're doing right now. Yeah. I can see why. It's kind of a pain in the, yeah, because the other side, you just fish the belt through the, onto the pulley of the stepper. Yeah. It literally is, it's like freaking tracks. But now I think I have it upside down because that bolt is sticking up too far to go in there. Let me check that. That's all the way in. So then I need to spin this thing like this maybe. Yeah. Okay. So on your top here, um, make my screen bigger and I'll switch to my document camera here. All right. Give me one second here. Let's see. Can I do that solo? Okay. Check. Okay. So you see that you have the, hold on. So that brass fitting right here. Yeah. I think that's another screw hole. Is it? No. Yeah. It looks like it is, but. Yeah. It's not used for anything, but anyway. Yeah. So you'll see that the sides, we turn it around. You got that opening right here. Right. So that's that you're, that's behind. Right. That's the back of it. And then you have your two screws that'll hold it on. That go up. So it goes in like this. Yeah. You know what? I think my, I think I put this, um, wholly upside down because you're, you're, my brass is facing down right now. Yeah. That brass screw thing. So I'll fix that real quick. And we'll keep you soloed for a second because my hands are. Okay. I'll give you a tour. And here is my lasers right here. I have them hanging up on my slat wall. Um, and then I sneak peek. You didn't see that, but I think, well, it's already been released. So now I could actually start telling people about it. It's the Ender 5 Plus, FL Sun, SR, Prusa Mini back there, on my RC car collection, and even more. The rest of the garage is looking like garbage right now because Gar's getting ready for a graduation party next week. So I'm getting a lot of stuff thrown in here, which is not fun. And this light needs to be turned off. There we go. All right. So, got it. That's what it was. I had my, my pulley was backwards. Oops, wrong one. There we go. Yeah. It's, uh, lasers are fun, but as we said, it's, uh, I think they need to start changing it around a little bit. This two trees is actually a nice little laser. It's different. And so that's actually what made me do it, the review, because it's different than the other ones. Yeah. So far it, I mean, it's so far it's pretty, um, so far it's pretty cool. A lot more installed than I thought it was going to be to M4 by 20. That's what I was looking for. Definitely a little more of an install than I thought it was going to be. And that's okay. I mean, again, it gets you, it gets you to learn it. Um, you know, it's not, unless you're really interested in this laser, it's not for great TV, I guess you could say, but hey, um, I'm okay with that. It's, it's fun. It's different. Okay. So I, um, um, opera AR, um, let me show you a section of the garage is still being worked on over here. That is my, um, you're asking about CNC. That is going to be my, um, plasma CNC area. I already have a plasma CNC and a plasma cutter. I'm just needing to get the wiring complete with another 240 drop over there because I already have one where I'm sitting. Uh, and I got a new silent air compressor over there, 20 gallons. Yeah, it's going to, it's going to be decent. So I, um, I'm pumped. I'll have to come down and check that out. I, now that I know you're closer than me than, than I thought, I don't know why I was thinking you were in Michigan this whole time. No, I'm in Illinois at the land of rust and corruption. So yeah. So now what we're going to do is take this belt and go around underneath and around that pulley, um, essentially. And then we're, we know we're going to get these. Yeah. After that, you're, you're in your home stretch of, um, the biggest problem right there is the flopping, as you see of, yeah, it's, it's pretty difficult. Yeah. I, um, what's hard is that I'm ignoring the camera right now because it's easier to ignore the camera when I'm doing this, but, uh, what's hard is when you're trying to film it. No. And, and you're, because right now, like I'm, I'm trying to film this and, and, and it's just, there we go. Yeah. So I, when I did this, no, after I, I took out and I read the manual a little bit. I, um, built it, time-lapse my build on my video and I actually said in my review that go to their site because otherwise my video will be 40 minutes long. Right. Uh, going through all the separate steps. Their build video, I think it's like 14 minutes or something like that. And they do a really good job of showing how to build it. Yeah. They should, they, they make it. Got it. Nailed it. So I just had to get, there's a belt in here and it's hard to show you. There's a belt in here that has to go around the gear in there and then it has to go on, you know, all this will have to go, you know, dial in itself here now to these gantries. Yeah. Um, yeah, for Andrew, for me, for the, for upper eight, mine is just, I don't have a C and C. I kind of stepped away from that. I wanted to have three things in my garage, a 3D printer, C and C machine, and a, um, some type of big laser engraver, CO2. I was thinking like an on-tech or something. And I kind of went away from that big laser because they're so big and noisy. Um, and so I decided to go smaller with this, uh, with the plasma cutter. Um, so these next ones go up from the bottom, it looks like. Yeah. So you're going to have these really long screws with inserts. I'm sorry what they look like. Yeah. So I have a 50 watt. Oh, thank you, Paul, for the super sticker. $10. Thank you so much, Paul. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So here's the, it's, it's a big bolt with an insert. Um, it looks like there's three of them. There's going to be one on this side and two on this side. If I see this right, um, I believe maybe. Yeah, that's going to lock your, your Y in place. Yeah. It's going to lock my Y. There's only, oh yeah, there's only a one on this side and two on that side. And these are going to come up from the bottom. So maybe. Yeah. So yeah, those, uh, those inserts are, are stoppers so that he could only screw it in so far. Got it. What I'm trying to do is kind of give an idea of where these things are going. Brand vines. That was somewhat standoffish. Yes, it does. Water, um, Dunk Oriel fund is filling up. Yes. Yeah. I got, I got a good collection of Oreos when I was at Murph and I appreciate that everybody. Um, I got a whole bag. I believe, I believe a local maker, Michigan, or was it Dan Adams? I can't remember. All of a sudden, it's, it's eluding me. Let me know if you're in the chat. Um, it might have been Dan Adams, but they gave me a whole bag of Oreos and then Caleb's dad gave me that, uh, Murph, hit little Oreo, um, a cup and, and some water. It was pretty funny. Um, Oper 8R, um, I have a CNC for wood would love to have a plasma or a water jet. Just don't have the budget for it. So I used to watch a, right? Something here in the states that was called American chopper. And that was the first time I ever saw a water jet table. And this was like, what, 15 years ago? I was amazed at it, but that's definitely something the hobbyists is still out of price. So it's made a budget one. Actually, I just saw one. Well, budget's subjective. Um, but I just saw one. Um, it's a, it's a desktop water jet. It was like 10 grand, but it was desktop. That's nice. Um, again, it was 10 grand, but hopefully these are aligned. Yeah. I, I, my plasma is a, um, prime weld, uh, plasma that's, um, I need to do a video on that. I'm far behind on that. Um, then I have, you know, I sourced my own, um, it's called an archeroid, um, CNC plasma machine. It's kind of as portable as you can get. It does 22 inch by 16 inch cuts and you can move it along your piece to make more cuts if you need to. But, uh, it does, it has something that's called simple trace. Like me, I'm not the best at fusion yet. So say that, and a lot of hardcore fabricators will take like cardboard and make their own templates. Right. So, and, you know, they're used to doing stuff like that. Like, um, just be really hands-on. Well, you could take that cardboard template and actually trace it with a probe and it's, it automatically generates the g-code. Nice. So, John, let me see. It funny. I read it. Operator. Okay. All right. We are. Oh, okay. Yes. Operator. Okay. Well, also, I got dyslexia. Don't tell everyone. So, that's why you, you hear my, um, I always dreaded in school of doing public speaking. I would memorize my speech because I, uh, I hated reading out loud in class. Hey, that's okay. But no, that's, we all have, as I say to other people, that we all have the same type of, um, ailments that we have to get around. Some people are more permanent than others. And, and plus I have ADHD too. So, but I'm in IT. I think that's most people that are in IT have it. All right. Excuse me. Wow. Hey, everybody. I just want to say thank you for being here. We are rocking through this. Um, I've been here a little over an hour now, but you're doing good. Talking to John. You are doing really good. Tripods garage here and we are just getting this thing installed. Um, slowly, but surely, uh, I'm going to raise this thing up though and install this on the sides, I believe. Um, I think that's how it goes on there, right? Yeah. Looks like that. Um, but yeah, it's, uh, I'm a terrible speller as well, by the way. But it's been a lot of fun so far. This thing is, is I'm going to say so far it's, it's nice. It's a little super light. Um, I feel like I could pick this up and take it with me and not worry about it going out of a square and I'll check. I can check this. Why am I square with me? I might not have my square with me over here, but, um, I mean, the bottom line is some of these bigger lasers, if you pick them up, they don't feel exactly, you feel like they could move a little. We'll say that. Um, and that happens sometimes, but, um, sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I don't even know if I ever, the second one, John was, um, yeah. Um, Brian's with us and he's hanging. So, uh, let me know in the chat that I'm going to go off, off topic just a, just a hair, but if you ordered one of the bamboo lab X1 or X1 carbons, let me know in the chat. I'm excited to see, um, if you were at Murph and you came by and saw the one I brought live, let me know. Um, I know John did. He was, you know, they were, they were having some fun with it too bad you didn't get to do what you were thinking about doing. Now it would have been a lot of fun. Oh yeah. I was like, I, we bought the popcorn. I told the wife, she's like, you don't really eat my popcorn anymore. So I popped it at the hotel and I brought it with, I had it already and then Sam disappeared. He was doing his own thing and we never got around to doing it. Dang it. No, I would have been awesome. We had a lot of fun there. I am, I'm just, I'm grateful you guys didn't come home with, um, anything extra like I did. Well, yeah. And that's the thing is I don't know if having it, you know, I mean, we had it six months prior. So we didn't, I didn't, you don't know with this, unfortunately how long your immunity lasts if it does. Right. So, so the next thing we need to do is put the laser head on here. Um, give you a little better view that way. And it's held on by four screws, two on each side. So I'm just going to work on that real quick while we're talking, but, um, maybe if I can, there we go. But yeah, I mean, you're right. You just never know. And I, this was the first time for me, uh, first time that I, I got it and I work at a hospital. So you know, I was surprised that it took two years to be fair. Um, I can tell you my wife wasn't excited about me bringing it home. I don't see why she, she was less than excited, especially when the little guy got it and then she got it. Um, you know, or the symptoms and stuff. She was definitely less than excited, you know, that that happened. So I'm going to put all four of these. No, the crack donuts. Yes. So yeah, Jim, for the assistance of, um, yes, with the Murph Racer, you know, we went out for wings one that, that, um, was that, uh, Friday night, right? And, um, so that morning, you know, you can treat us to the wings, which thank you, Jim. Hey, no problem. And, um, and he's like going every brunt, bringing the Amish crack donuts, not called crack donuts, but he gave us six and like there's no, so I tried one after like an hour or two because going to breakfast with Sam, Prentice is a, um, another experience in its own. So maybe you could bring this up on Monday, ask him what his favorite breakfast is. So he loves these big pancakes. Yeah. So I was full for, I mean, literally until like two o'clock and so on. I said, okay, I'm going to try one of these donuts and oh my goodness. If you ever taste, if you're here in the States, donuts here are usually just dry. It doesn't matter what's in it and stuff. You, I did not expect this Amish donut to taste like this. So that's when I did, if you go on my TikTok, I did a, um, I got Joseph Prusa, Sam and Joel. Joel, yeah. He's seeing it all for the first time and they were like amazing. Yeah. So, uh, they are real good. Um, I own two X ones. Andrew S says, oh, nice. Two. Oh, you ordered, did you order two or do you get them already? Um, I'm assuming you ordered two, but John, my merp racer is coming along. Just get the electronics together this weekend. Did I see John's making a like a half scale one? Uh, I think it's one is two. Aren't you making a tiny one? I think he's making a tiny one. All right. Laserhead is on. Um, what's that? What's nice about that laser is they actually has a thumb screw on the top, which most should learn from to adjust the height. Yeah. I like that. A lot of the aftermarket ones came with that. I knew the Orature Laser Raster 2 Pro. You could get that. So, John is making a half scale also. Um, BW's uh, let's try it. He said that the donut holes melt in your mouth. Yeah. So, I'll try that next year. So, uh, the wife and I actually booked the room for next year if Merp, because when we noticed that Merp was, um, the last weekend of, uh, June, the last two years. So we're, you know, actually booked the hotel room just now. And so refundable just in case. Right. They, they commented on somebody's post when they said it was a wrap and all that. They did comment and say, um, about the same dates next year. Check out those dates. So they didn't, they didn't 100%. But I mean, to be fair, they don't exactly have great communication, but we're thinking about being a sponsor also to be on the back of the shirts and stuff. Yeah. We totally forgot about it this year. And it was too late when we did think about it. So, uh, I'm going to go ahead and assume that this little, let me see if I can give you a better view. So these are cable, the little cable, um, holders. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One is going to go on one side like this and the other one, I think this one is going to actually sit maybe like this or okay. So no, so the small one goes on the front of the machine, very front. And that one goes on. And so that turn it the other way that faces you. Yep. Like that. Well, turn it. Wait. Turn it again. Flip it. Yep. Just like that. Okay. And that's, that holds, um, two sets of wire looms. And so, so this is the opening here. Yep. And it's going to stay open. And you're going to just use the tie wraps in it four by 20s, four by 20s. That's these guys. Got it. So the opening face is the front of the machine. Yep. All right. So what we got here, Andrew, I should be getting them set. Um, so you are right that he, he's doing the half scale one. Murph, um, let's see. Andrew, nice. Andrew S, I should be getting them set to me. Hopefully haven't got to them yet. Yeah. If it was any review units, they're super, um, they're behind on. They only had maybe like 30 or 40 or something. I can't remember how many. I have to say that marketing push, you know, kind of spoke for itself on it because it was something that no one's seen before. And for the price point that they were doing, right? It's a lot of machine for the price. And people asked me, John, we have 13 3D printers. You actually bought that one. I said, yeah. Heck yeah. I said, it's my garage is not heated or cooled in the winter. So what I do or in the summer, right? So what I do is that's my four year door over there on the floor. I have a fan blowing in here from the vent. So because it's illegal to run HVAC into the garage. So really? Yeah. If it's attached, because it makes sense. People have running their cars in here. Oh, got it. It goes back into the house. You don't want to call their return in the garage. There's what you're saying. So, and, you know, we don't use the garage as my, um, my workshop. So, but if I, you know, when we do sell in five, six years, we would have to rip it out anyways. Yeah. So you don't want to do like a mini split? Well, yeah, I was thinking about mini split, but, you know, with the way that the, you know, electric prices here in Illinois have skyrocketed. I'm sure the rest of the country. I think they're everywhere. Right now. So that, that carbon had like hit every checkbox. That almost sounded like a reviewer right now of what I want in the 3D printer. I wasn't gonna buy another one. I don't have the need for it because I'm actually doing a shift into lasers and plasmas. Do you notice this part is not injection molded? That's printed. That's the only printed part. That's printed, yeah. I was looking, I was like, wait a minute. Um, yeah, you're right. I, I bought, I also put my money where my mouth is and pick one up as everybody who watch my channel knows. Um, I, I'm telling you, I don't know. It's, I like the printer. But if Ryan is still with us, he's here. We talked about that printer, literally 90% of Murph. Well, it was buying you the whole time. I, I, I could see the excitement in everyone for, for it. Because it's something that's again, different. Uh, someone mentioned on Twitter saying that, you know, this is all proprietary and blah, blah, blah. And I said, you know how much stuff that we buy? Just picture your car alone. How many proprietary parts there are just maybe shared between maybe three or four models within that same, you can't take that part off of a Ford and put it on a Chevy. So I mean, it's, you have proprietary parts all over the place. And if this printer go, I mean, for how many it sold, there's gonna be aftermarket community for it. Guarantee. Yeah. I mean, you're already seeing the poop bucket out there. I want to make a slide. Someone at, someone at, someone at Murph suggested a slide. Like, that'd be fun. That would be pretty cool. You start in the back and go around the front. That would be a lot of fun. Hang on real quick here. Yeah. And that's the thing that Andrew, wait, who's it? Sky down. At least the X1 has raised the bar for the rest of the industry. Absolutely. And what I did was I said that, you know what, we buy lots of things that have proprietary parts in it. If, yeah, it could be open source, but then you have just a standard Cartesian printer. I mean, it's honestly, that's where you would have, you would have an under three. Yeah, to be fair. And right now I'm just putting the control box on so everybody can, yeah, he's, um, just actually had kind of the final stages of wiring, plugging and cable organizing. So I would say that he's got, if he might be finished in the next 20 minutes, this could have been done a half hour ago if I wasn't talking. Yeah. All right. Andrew Rogers has become a member. Thank you so much, Andrew. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And Andrew Rogers, you are awesome. A member for 14 months. Thank you so much, Andrew Rogers. Um, yeah, I, I agree. It's changing. It is, it's going to change. I'm super excited on how it's going to change or hopefully change the industry. Ow. That was awesome. So I, I, I unboxed, um, another printer the other night and it's what I forgot. It's the, it was the, um, what the heck was it? Super racer. Yeah. Oh, you got one too. And they just said, I thought it was going to be the 400. Apparently I looked back at my email and they're like, Oh yeah. The first run we just, we ran out, but we're do this one first and then we'll send you the 400 later. I'm like, because I unboxed it, I was like doing a time lapse of me building it. I'm like, this does not look like I thought it was going to be. It doesn't have the big screen. And I was like, Oh, you know what? Let me go look at my email. I definitely screwed that up. But you know what sucked about that thing? The freaking needle, excuse my language, didn't have a cover on it. And it was, it was in the, it was in the stupid bag with the zip ties. The zip ties made me think of it. So I went to grab a zip tie and it stuck right into my thumb. And I was, oh, lightspeeds here. Very mad about that. The problem with bamboo is based off open first ideas. They didn't invent anything. They, they compiled community ideas. So it's being locked down and it kind of not good. Well, yeah. But they, but they already addressed that. Yeah. He, whatever you want to call him, Dr. Turbo. It's when he goes buying socials, the CEO, Andrew Rogers, thank you so much. 999. I didn't have a chance to buy an adult bed verge at Murph. I appreciate that. They addressed all of these stuff that they're keeping proprietary patent or open source. And he did a full blog post on that. And one thing I do appreciate about them is they're, they're very open. They are very open about like responding and telling you what's up. Thank you so much. Once again, Andrew Rogers, 10, 999. Thank you so much. All right. We're almost done here, guys. We are almost done. Install the bellows. They're calling them bellows. Yeah. What the hell? So, you know, these are like just the standard wiring. So what they, so what two trees are attempting to do is cable organization where the wires do not fall into the engraving area. Right. Okay. I've reviewed a half dozen plus of these open diode machines. And one of the biggest problems is this cable management. And there's always that loom going from traveling down to X through to Y that, that one loom will fall into the laser engraving area. So this is why you will see on this machine that they kind of do this rainbow thing. Yes, it's full of rainbows and unicorns. Just didn't know it. So it's to lift it up over your build surface. I was feeling, I was feeling let out this light speed. But now I'm glad I didn't buy one. I wanted to be able to fix my printer's LOL. Yeah, it's it, you know, if you ever watch the guy write to repair, right? Yeah, yeah. So yeah, and it's, I can, yeah, I think that it will change. But I think, I think, yeah, I mean, we'll see how it goes. I think this is a test. This is a test of the emergency broadcasting system. No, you know, I think this is a good test of what could come forward. And it's going to cause other manufacturers to be better. And hopefully you probably give life speed a hug, Jim, because Jim didn't say hi to me. It feels like Murph all over again. What do you mean? I said hi to you. I said hi to you like a couple of times. I apologize. That's a very emotional guy. I'm deep into this build trying to get this done so we get burns and crap and not spend six hours here. As tripod graciously told me before this started, this was a longer build. And I did not expect it to be this much longer. I hate you. Yeah, right. Get out of here, Stephen. I am frustrated because I forgot to pick up a boron kit. And then I ran over to LDOs and they were LDO and Jason was already gone. Because I know he had, I think he had a bigger kit with him. It was under his table. And I was going to snag it. Highly, highly considered snagging that. And then I screwed up. And then I totally forgot to go back. But I have the guy's name that you were there with from Mandela. That's probably where we're going to buy it from. It looks pretty solid. And my wife comes to me. She's like, I found a printer I want. Oh, that you want. I said, I said, I have a feeling which one it is. I said, just point to the area. So you want a boron? It's like, what? I said, the real small table top one, right? She's like, yeah. So I went on my desk. Yeah, it's cool. It's very cute. It's going to take some time to build and all that. But you get the whole kit. And from all these wires. Yeah. Yeah. So this is your, the wiring madness. See if I can give you a better thing. Yeah. Yeah, you're, you're at the tail end of it. So all these wires, they kind of curl in like this. Yep. So what I did was I kind of like plugged in everything first and then I, or I sent. Okay. So what I did was I sent the cable ties through loosely to keep those kind of standing up. Good idea. And then I plugged everything and then I tightened them down. It's really fun to build. I'm going to check that out. So I did see there was a dude, I think it was a dude there building one Saturday. He started Saturday. And by the time they shut the lights off on us, they got it to home, I believe. Andrew Rogers, thanks for stopping by. Have a good night. Yes. Thank you so much, Andrew. I appreciate that. Again, great to see you. And, and thank you so much for everything then. Yeah, it's a, and I think his, that kit comes with everything. Do you have to print out anything, Steve? Yeah. I think it's not, it does not come with the printed parts. Okay. But I could probably print those in like a day. On your bamboo? Yeah. On three of them. With under extrusion. Then we're going to have three of them. Hey, you leave my under extrusion out of this. No, I, the interesting thing about that is I think that it's just a slicer issue to be fair. Well, I think, yeah, also with the, how fast it was going to. When I saw the parts that you gave me, I kind of like, I know what I'm aiming for with my slow racer right to the side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's going to go on like that, right? Let's see. It says all of these get squished in here. Even the ones that go down. That's super weird. But hey, we'll do it. Because these are going to go down. Yeah, it's kind of a mad mess right there inside. Well, I'll, I'm going to just do what you said. I'm actually going to get this started. So it kind of holds it together. I keep hearing music that's not on the stream. And I, we just remembered that I'm, I had my little guy's camera in his room. On and he has music on in his room. And I had that on so I could watch him when he fell asleep. Just to make sure he wasn't like freaking out and, you know, mom's home, but I always feel bad, you know, a lice be don't feel too bad. I was actually in, in edge of tech territory. Yeah. And I didn't get visited. So yeah. Well, somebody had COVID. So there's that. Yeah, I was past five days, but that, you know, and well, that what really happened to be 100% fair is my wife and kid got it. And my wife was taking it a little different than I was hers. Hers has been different symptoms wise. And I think that works. And she, she's had a headache for like three days now. Yeah, I finally went away, but I had no appetite for almost a month. Like, it just, yeah, it was like a bad food. All right. But yeah. Like, what is light speech saying? I said, hi, I talked to you at Merve. Probably more than I talked to a lot of people. I talked to a lot of people when I didn't talk to a lot of people long. All right. Now we need to plug everything in, right? Yep. You're on the home stretch. All right. So this looks like it's going to come around and go into here. We're just going to pretend I know what I'm talking about. I, I'm pumped. I might check out that. Hopefully my mic isn't weird. I just realized I put my face into it. I might check out that kit though, because I do kind of want to build one. Yeah. It's basically, it might have to be like at the beginning next year. I mean, that's how far I'm backlogged. I still, I had to pull the cars in and take care of body work on the cars, because the land of rust, the truck is standing rust underneath. So I mean, that's also why I got the new air compressor to do all the body work in here. Got it. So here's the question. Okay. I see that one. Let me see. Let's see. X. That jumps over to the laser side, your laser head. Y1. Oh, this one does? I believe so. Yeah. This one does. I'm assuming it goes like this and then plugs in here. Yep. But there's, there is one. Okay. So you have two cables that are going to come over to the side to your stepper motors. You got your Y and your X. And then you have, on the other side, you have your other X motor. Hang on. Where the heck is, yeah, this one goes down to X. Yep. Um, and that's behind here somewhere underneath. John Strand, Edgertek, how's your garage coming along? Garage doesn't exist. Well, no, my garage exists. But the, but I'm actually over here in a different studio now. So there's that. So while the garage is doing good, it's pretty much just going back to a garage. So this is Y. Okay. So this is Y1 here. This one needs to be up here on Y. And then X here. I need to take out of the, um, damn it. I got it zip tied in. It needs to go underneath. Darn it. I don't think I can get that out of there either. Oh, BWs. It seems like mine has gone through phases like fatigue, mucus where what stayed around. It's getting better though. Yeah, it was, um, so I'm the one legged guy. The wipe is laying in bed. I'm like, you need to get your ass up. You know, I could not, I just can't stay in bed. You know, it drives me nuts. And I have to be doing something. And I was doing this, the slat wall in the garage when that happened. And I'm just staring at the slat wall. I'm like, I had no energy. And then I was like, and I just didn't want to do anything. It drains you when you're actually, you know, not asystosystematic, right? Or whatever they call it. Right, right. And finally, I just got into the rhythm of doing something. And then it was like, I think that helped my mentality with it, you know, getting through. But, um, yeah, definitely I, when I came back, when I found out one day Tuesday, I was like, you know what, I'm going to get stuff done. It's not that bad. I went out and did the lawn and stuff like that. And then I regretted that Tuesday afternoon. By Tuesday afternoon, I was like, wow, I am on my butt again, because I was just completely drained. And then, you know, I, I'm kind of like you where I just wanted to get up and move. And I feel, I felt like if I just kept moving, it was kicking my butt. And I've been overheating a lot. If you remember, you're like, what was it Saturday night? I think it was Saturday night when we all went to Wings. Yeah. What was that Friday night? Hell, I can't remember. No, no, it was Friday night. Wait, um, Saturday night was, that was Friday night. Yeah, I think you're right. Whatever, I was like super hot and Sam was like, are you okay? And I was definitely, definitely like very warm. And just looking how this cable goes. Okay. But I, that like stuck with me. So I've been like overheating almost, you know, it's, I've been getting very hot with this. Of course, you know, I'm a bigger guy and that happens anyway. But, yeah. Operator, speaking of cars, was there any new updates on the deadbolt course? What's that? Oh, yeah, yeah. I forgot. Um, no new updates there. I've got more done on it, but nothing 3D printed or anything like that. I was building a microcrawler course. That's what I thought it was. Microcrawlers. Yeah. Little SCX 24 microcrawler. That's been coming very popular. They're awesome man. Yeah. I mean, I got the, um, TL toys, um, yeah. I don't know, the 14th, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, brushless, $119 car. I, you know, I ordered off a band good. And I was like, oh, I'm going to do a YouTube video on it. And of course, you know, by the time I got it, it was four months late. So I'm like, no, it's just been sitting in a box. Yeah. I, I love my SCX 24. There's so many mods, upgrades and everything for those. It is, it's crazy. I actually, funny that you say that, I put a full brushless system in it. Komodo system, um, from Fear Attack. And I could, I mean, I could just barely make it move. It crawls so slow if I wanted to. It's not fast cause it's not meant to be fast. It's a crawler, but, um, no. We're off-road family. So we get muddy and dirty. So we, we're familiar with that stuff. John Strand left 1135, passes bedtime. Good night. Happy printing, lasering, CNCing. Jay, it would be awesome if they did a stream like this, taking a beginner through a setup, be it the same laser and or a 3D printer. I do, typically if, um, you know, I had to keep it on the DL for what I was working on, but typically like on Twitch, I go through that, whatever I'm going to review. If it's not, um, signing an NDA, I will, that's what I do on Twitch. I just do what I'm working on. And like, uh, for a while I was doing them, like the Mystic Carb M1, or, uh, fiber laser, just engraving, stuff, ensuring people how to use it. Then obviously I'm not even pairing all the lasers, so. Right. Tightening a belt here. Oh yeah, don't forget to, uh, do your eccentric nuts. There's two on each side above your, um, your X's. Oh, here? Yep. Yeah. Two on the, on the inners. This is the loud machine, by the way. Yeah. Why does this thing go? This can't be right. I don't see what this thing is. Um, maybe it goes underneath. It's this, uh, black connector. So the black connectors that go together, one goes underneath. There is. Maybe it does. Maybe it just chills over here. I'll let it just chill over there. Yeah, I, I actually wired it to that loom. So I had it just tie-wrapped in place right there. Nice. Um, we could definitely, we could definitely do, um, that would be a lot of fun to get a few of us together and just do like a big fun stream on anything. Beginners. My Twitch channel is the same across the board for everything. It's just Tripods Garage. One, uh, one word mostly. One word mostly? Yeah. Well, it depends, right? So YouTube is spaced out, um, when you search for it, but if you put in the address bar, it's one word, you know, for, um, Twitch. Got it. Yeah. So that's why I say mostly. So yeah, it's like the same thing with Twitter, right? Just all together. Tripods Garage, yes. So Steven Lightspeed's wife, when I met her last year. Yeah. She did not know that people were calling me Tripods. She thought people were calling me Tripod. Like, why, well, that's a really weird name. Why is this Tripod? That's pretty funny. She's good stuff. I met her last year as well. Oh, she is. It was amazing. Um, yeah. Steve. Very nice. People don't get his dry humor on, and I do. You hear this? Listen. You still hear? Yeah, something that, mine does not make that noise at all. Are you sure it's not? The worst part is that I had to explain to how a guy with one leg is called Tripod. That's awesome. So let me give everyone Tripod where it came from. And there was, I'm going to do a video at some point, but not many people knew me when I had two legs currently besides family. I lost my leg to cancer when I was 15. So, but before then, I was doing a work co-op at my high school, and I was working at a conduit company. I found out that my leg needed to be amputated because I had cancer, and they said, well, when you have a job, when you come back, well, I sure hope so. So that's the nice thing to do and the right thing to do. So I've always had a part-time job moving fast forwarding 10 plus years. And I was working at Home Depot part-time. And here comes a guy that I worked with at the conduit place, and he started working at Home Depot. He didn't see me, I saw him. And then one day he saw me, he's like, Tripod! I'm like, and then all of a sudden it's stuck. So that does not sound good. Just try to figure out where it's coming from. It's not coming from the stepper? I don't think so. We'll see. It's super weird. Nothing rubbing. Can I tighten the belts? Yeah, I don't see anything rubbing. That'll definitely show up in the prints though. Yeah, I'm not going to really say that out loud there, Mr. Lightspeed, but that's funny. That is funny. Such a weird noise. Yeah, it's... These things should be moving. I mean, obviously the belt will hold it, but... Yeah, I was thinking about the spur gear or where we want to call it the belt pulley, the belt, not tighten down. Man, that would be a pain to get to. In the way that these things are made. Yeah, I see it. It might be, let's see. And that's on your zip tie. I felt like in the beginning, it was on the left side, but we're going to keep moving. I'm going to deal with this later. Yeah, I mean, these laser engravers, they don't move. Yeah, it does sound like a zip tie dragon, but it's not. Super freaking weird. Yeah, mine does it. It doesn't make special noises. I mean, if you don't feel any binding, I would just say full send. Yeah, I'm doing it. It's just a weird noise, a weird noise. Yeah, so on this laser, it's the shield that you always see when they do live streams, they forget to put their eye protection on, but that shield is magnetic, which is nice. Yeah, I pulled it off there a couple of times. I like that. You can pull it off, get an idea where you're going to be, fire your laser, and then you can throw it back on there. And it comes with this block of aluminum that you could adjust your height, slide it underneath, and that's your focal length. Both sides. Yeah, it's super weird. It sounds like slipping on a spur or probably, we're going to find out. It's definitely some fun noise. Sounds like it's fitting real when you catch a big fish. Yeah, that would be okay. That's not a fan. I'll take a big fish. We're almost there. What time? Holy moly, we've been here for way too long. Yeah, when Jim said he was posting, I immediately reached out to him on this one. I'm like, it's... You're like, by the way... He's made a stupid fly. Yeah, 60% assembled when it took that long. I was just building it and building it. I'm like, oh my goodness, this is a long build. Well, and to be fair, I've been talking a lot and not... We've been building pretty consistently. Yeah, pretty good. I think I could have built it in less than an hour easily. Too much drag, too tight. Maybe. That's what... I can loosen all the belts and find out one time. Yeah, because those just, if you didn't catch the began to stream, these those belts were pre-tensioned by the factory. So that's just, I'm going to loosen both sides. What time is it in the U.S.? Well, Jim and I are both in central time and it's at 1046 p.m. All right, here's what I'm going to do. Hold the heck out of this one. Push that forward. I think, I mean, I think it has to definitely do with the belts. It may have not been on that gear all the way. Okay. Because when I loosened it, just now, the noise went away. So, let's see. I pulled them tight. Let's see if the noise comes back. It could, you know what? It could have been just barely off. It's kind of on this side. And when I loosen the belt, it goes away. So. So, I mean, it's the same type of tension that you would have, like on a regular belt printer. Yeah. No. So. Should be 20. Yeah. So, just plucking it like a guitar string, right? I'm not too tight. You just got to get to it on these. It's not that easy to get to on this one. But, because if I loosen it, let's see. If I loosen that belt on both sides here, nothing. Maybe I'm just too tight. Yeah. It's not, just think of it as a little bit looser than a 3D printer. And it might have been. Nope. Full send. I'm done. Yep. I'm not messing with it anymore. I barely even pulling on this thing, just enough to make it, you know, not loose. Whatever. I'll deal with it later. All right, wiring's in. Check. I think we're all here. Check. Yep. This is what it looks like. From the front, 447 AM. Oh my gosh, man. That's dedication, Andrew. Yeah. My little guy would be up like in an hour or something. Yeah, I'll be getting up for work. Speaking of that, a few minutes ago I looked over and he's standing up in his room drinking his water. I was like, whoa, it scared the crap out of me. I'm not going to lie. I just didn't expect him to be standing. But we, oh my God. Yeah, it's not too bad. I opened windows finally today. Yeah, it wasn't that bad here. A little bit humid, but it wasn't too bad. Let's see. Oh, I got lots of good stuff that I've been ignoring. So I'm going to come back to it, except for my wife that said she was going to bed. Oops. Good night, honey. All right. It looks like we're good here. There's some adjustments it says to make on both sides. That would be the belt. So it looks like, yep. Method one, the fixed length of the column. This is a focusing. Let's see. Before engraving, focus needs to be adjusted. It needs to be on the surface of the engraved object. And then the focal distance is 23 millimeters. The fixed column can be assessed. And the z-axis lift, the module knob, blah, blah, blah. Okay, let me get something to burn. And we're going to burn some stuff. Probably should plug it in and make sure we don't have smoke too, right? Yeah, so there's no limit switches on this, just letting everyone know. Typically in light burn, you could just print in place, basically, or burn in place. You could just set it to where you want in the engraving area and just go. That's why a lot of people prefer, but I'm a limit switch fan. Yes, I am, too. People are not. I am a, I probably should plug this in and get light burning up, huh? Yeah. Does it tell you, does it walk you through something like that? Yeah, it tells you how to set up. And it's in the, I think it's in one of the other sheets, though. I don't think it's in that packet. Oh, boy. Is that the other sheets? Yeah, so it's a standard plug it in, laser, you know, the gerbil, and then just 300, 300. Is this 300 by 300? Yeah, I believe so. I thought it was, it does look smaller, but I thought it was 400 by four something. Because it's, isn't it 40 centimeters by 44 centimeters? Oh, yeah. Well, you gotta take into account the steppers and the front of the laser head. Hey, look, we'll use this cardboard because I left my good stuff outside, so we're going to burn some carbon. I probably shouldn't be burning a lot in the studio anyway, but we're doing it. We're going to put this down under. I'll get good video of that. Don't worry, I promise. That'll happen. There's a bunch of the user guide fact. Let's see, that doesn't help me. All right, so I'm just looking through the other stuffs here. I'm going to grab light burning up on my, on my, let's see here, fixed thickness plate. Oh, so you can bring the, you can bring it right down on this thing. Focus adjustment. Let's see, yeah. Interesting. It says you can almost bring it right down on that shield, right? Yeah, I think it's, what was it? Take the shield off, right? And then you use that. I used to, for, depends on the laser head, right, the focal length, but like ever since I had a congro Z1, I actually used a blank or SD card, standard size, a SD card, and I put it underneath of my, it's like two millimeters off. Nice. And burn edge attack into the table, Rob says. I should. Yeah, I was, I like the safety. Let it fly. Yeah, I like the limit switches because I can't stand herring it, bump and grind. Let's just put the darn safety, there's safety, limit switches in. Well, crap. So it's like, hey, by the way, you have a new version of light burn. Well, you guys skip it, which is good. So, yeah. Let's do this. Okay. So I'm going to go to set up. Do you guys want to share my screen? Let's share my screen. One. Yeah, it's a 300 by 300. That's what, that's what your final answer is. Yep. All right. Here. All right. We're sharing, sharing is caring. If I can find my mouse, there it is. Let's burn some stuff so we can, so we can check this out and go to bed. Device is, will it find it? Yep, when you hit next. Let's see if it finds it. I think it's a manual setup, but we'll see. We'll find out. I didn't even pay attention to see if it connected. I probably should have looked. Yeah, I think it's a manual setup. So you can cancel that. Jerks. Who's tweeting? Who is this? Gerbil. Serial. What do we want to call this thing? We're going to call it three trees. Two trees. And of course it says inches. What's the length in inches? What is that? What's that? It should be, I mean, I mean, millimeters, two inches conversion, because I suck at this. All right, I was just on 300, 300. We can do that. But it says inches, but maybe I'm crazy. Yeah, I'll show you. Unless I'm crazy, because there'll be one hell of a. Yeah. You know, let's see. Download the software. Got it. Yeah. All right. So we go to new version. Oops. Nope. Come sick. So it's just seen devices. All right. Yeah. It says inches, x, x of length and inches. Oh, wait. Length and millimeters. There you go. But what's weird is it literally says inches right here. Yeah, because mine, both mine says millimeters for x and y. Right, right here. Using Gerbil. Yep. Which one did you pick? Go back, hit cancel. Close that box. I used, I picked Gerbil. This one. Okay. Okay. Next. Next. Serial. Yeah. Yeah. And then I called this two trees. And then down here, it says the lengths and millimeters, x and y. But then next to it here, it says inches. I'm going for it. It's either going to be awesome or giant. We're going to find out. Because I click on mine and it says millimeters, x and y. Yeah. And both mine say one. Go on a home in the front left. Yeah, why not? Do I want an auto home? Nope. Yeah. Otherwise, that won't go well. Okay. Let's do this. So let's go to the tree. What is that beat? What? No, I got this beep in the garage just driving me nuts. Right. I don't want to home it. Right. No. That would be not my thing. Let's just try something. Wow. That's not great. I have a feeling we're at 300 by 300 a little off here. Yeah. It's just a little. Because, yeah, right here. See this? 762 by 762. It wasn't inches. That's hilarious. I am not watching chat. I apologize, chat. 11.8. We're going to go with 11.8 inches. Yeah. It's 11.811. Yeah, 11.811. Chat, that grinding was for you. All right, let's turn it back on. We're going to select the two trees. Going to be in calm four. Reset it. Where's my burn tab? Weird. What are you looking for? Super weird. Well, just sort of something in your area just to type something. Yeah, I was looking for. Yeah, it's not happy about it. I don't think, you know, I might need to set where my origin is, huh? Or do you usually just bring it to the center? Let me check mine here. Let me switch. Well, mine is definitely not driving the way it should be driving. No. So we're going to go out on a limb and say that right away. Let me read this. You got the right person to say that to. Yeah, I didn't have my job origin just in the center. I didn't do anything. Okay. When I move this thing, it is not happy about it. So it's got to be something loose or not. Right. Check this out. Oh, that sounds awful. I think this is the center. So that's odd, isn't it? Yeah, but it sounds like shifting my current reverse. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, because if you keep, if you have a part there, right, and then you hit origin, right? It should go, or have you set your origin? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to set position. Hey, Jake, from State Farm. What's going on? Yeah, we can set origin. That's fine, right there. So theoretically, it doesn't know where the hell it is. Interesting, because it should be, it doesn't really matter. But if what's going to be interesting is why is it doing this, this crazy noise? Did you see that? I think it's, it might be skipping a belt here. Yeah, it has to be. Well, you said you loosened the belt, and they may be a little bit too loose now. I'm going back. We're going to tighten it up. Yeah, that's definitely just skipping around a little bit. We're going for like super freaking tight, and maybe that'll fix the problem. It was definitely jumping. Oh, yeah. It's not, not happy about that. I just want to see this thing burn. We've been here for two freaking hours. All right. So now I don't think, printer-pron, that it's a, I think the motors are running backwards here. You do? Yeah, because when I, maybe. No, well, remember, you have one X-axis that's not, not behaving well. I'm going to unplug this just temporarily. So this, you know what, what's going on here? Oh, you know what? Yeah, your X and Y mixed. Yeah, that's what's going on here. I'm pretty sure. Let's, let's do this. That would explain why it's moving erratically, and it doesn't know where the heck it is. Give me a second. Yeah, Jay, I have the same laser cutter. I do have video out on it. What's up, man? Long time no see. So I, I, yeah, I plugged these in backwards. I'm 99% sure here, which would explain why we're getting some crazy movement, but not explain this, still the crazy sound, the grinding, right? Yeah. It's, it does sound like someone, not pushing it clutch in all the way. Yeah. All right. All right. Okay. Now, ah, see that? Much better. Okay. So now let's go here. Yeah. And then if you already set your origin, so at what center? Get position, set origin right there. Okay. Oh, you know what? Yeah. I got to change that. So because the job origins in the center, I think, uh, Sam, Princess sabotage my garage and put something hidden that beeps. I want to put past. We're doing this. So if I draw a freaking excuse my language, if I draw a square right here, a rectangle right here, and I come up here and we just do a quick line. There we go. We come down here and we hold shift frame. There. That's what I want to see. That's all that matters right there. Okay. All right. So now you got to take your, your shield off and you got to, well, find out what you're gonna engrave first. Hopefully you got something to protect your surface. So you don't go through your table. Well, if not, if I do, it'll be fun. It's a nice looking table. I, what sucks? Cause it's outside. I brought it with me. I just didn't bring it in. I have an idea. Thanks for that, Jake. The garage is almost done. It's just got some wiring left to do and then last part of the orientation. I got more stuff all over the middle of the garage. So I haven't put away my tools or anything. That won't help me. Screw it. They're going for it. Well, we're going to go with, this might be too thick, but I'll, I'll put a piece of the foam here that came with the printer underneath as my, as my spoil board. Yeah. Here we go. All right. I have the gym. Uh, he, uh, he inhaled some foam. Yeah, right. Kids, do not do this at home. Okay. I'm not, well, I'm not going to burn the foam. Well, hopefully. Well, I assume that you'll play, set it like 5% and then bring it up. Yeah. So you can see here what I'm doing. I took off the shield. I have this little thing. I'm a jigger here. There. And I believe that goes underneath. Right. Yeah. Right in the corner, right in the corner. Yep. Corner. Yep. And then lower it. So he's losing this locks through on the side. And then top screw will raise and lower it. And it should be at the top, uh, rung. Right. Yep. Just enough to barely sit on there. Right. And then we'll tighten that back in. Put this back over here. We'll put this. This is pretty awesome. Yeah. I like that. That's magnetic. Okay. Check. Check. Now, what I want to do is just, uh, let's delete that. I'm going to go grab, uh, my logo. Why not? And we'll burn that, right? Oh, yeah. Full color. Yeah. Why not? I don't care. There we go. How about not that big though? Just trying to draw squares all over because I accidentally grabbed the square tool. That's one thing you got to be careful. Make sure you're on the, make sure you're on the pointer and might burn. There you go. All right. Maybe a little smaller. There we go. I can trace it. We'll just do a quick trace. Why not? Trace it. We're going to give it a color. We'll just do the outline. It's set at 18,000 right now. I don't think it moves that fast. No. But it's also a cardboard stock. So it's, uh, Yeah. How about 1200 and? Yeah. What? Probably like, I would start with pretty low power. It is a 5.5 watt. People are surprised in how powerful that is. 25, 25 percent. Yeah. I don't think so. How about 2000 at 25 percent? Yeah. That's, yeah, since the cardboard stock, that sounds good. Great. Output. There we go. Turn this off. I don't know what this is. Oh. And so to give you a 20 watt laser, went through this thick on two passes. It almost made it on one pass. Wow. Yeah. So close. I'm trying to move this dang thing again. There we go. And of course, uh, I accidentally drew a bunch of squares. No one can, I just realized I'm not sharing that screen. I apologize. Um, all right, here we go. I got it just aligned. Let's just do a quick frame. Looks like about the right size. I don't really care about it being centered on this piece here. Um, I just want you guys to be able to see it. So there's that. Should we do it? Let's do it. Fire away. All right, peeps. Here we go. You're smoking. That's barely, it's barely etching it. So we're okay speed wise. It is smoking like a banshee though. It's cardboard. That is a tiny line too. Yeah, I think it's a .08. Yeah, I might cut through. Yeah, you would think that the focal length though would prevent it from hitting your, from how high it is. Oh, I'm not worried about it. I got foam underneath. That's pretty safe. It's very safe. Yes, kids. Don't be doing this at home. So we're burning. We're burning. We've been here for two hours, 10 minutes. Took me a, uh, probably we're talking and like, you know, BS and all that stuff. So this, yeah, this is Wi-Fi compatible. Um, I did take apart the board, uh, the, the co-box. I just find, uh, that they do have a wire stuffed in there. So you can mount it somewhere outside of there. Right. And kind of wire. And I'm being very safe. Look, see. Yeah, .08. I was right. .08. All right, it's done. Just for argument's sake, let's see if it went through. Nope. We were going fast enough where it didn't go through. So that, that's okay. Um, it also barely, barely shows up on there. Oh yeah, you can barely see it. Yeah. You can barely see it in there. So what we're going to do is flip this bad boy over. Um, just not like that because it doesn't. So one of the things that I put down is, uh, a negative is, I called it pass through material. There is only one spot for pass through and that is the back of the machine. Otherwise it's blocked on every other side. You can't get any material through. That's true. It would have been nice to raise up the control box a little. Yep. Um, but I think we need to see a better burn than that. So yeah. Full send. Yeah. Uh, a fill. How about a fill? There you go. It's going to take forever probably. Let me look at it. Yeah. Well, you always do an outline of them, Phil. All right. You could do both. Why is it so slow? 2000, I had that 2000. That was moving pretty slow. Um, but that's also millimeters per minute versus per second. So that's one thing that's like, uh, 20, we're not doing 28 minutes. Hang on. I gotta shrink this down quite a bit. There we go. Four minutes. That's acceptable. Uh, I did 2000 at 30. You know, I'm just curious. I wonder what the speeds are set on this thing anyway. Um, yeah. Is your light burn configured for diode? Should be. Let me just double check. Yeah. So you go on there. I used both on here. So I used both. Yeah. So go to edit and then, uh, Yeah. Settings or device settings. Uh, I believe so. Or, uh, no. Or settings. Just regular settings. Yeah. Just make sure. And that's where, it is. And that's where your, uh, millimeters and per minute. Yeah. So I do inches slash millimeters a minute. Yeah. Yeah. Better for diode. Right. Yep. Um, and you can see, oh, you know, I keep doing this. There you go. Uh, Good night, Mr. Travis. Later, later. Thank you so much for hanging out. Uh, watching us burn some stuff. You ready to burn some more stuff? Let's do it. So yeah, set here. I'm wondering if the actual speeds and stuff are set. But let's do it. We're doing it. I'll grab my glasses here. Yeah. I need to get the good set that you, you have. Ooh, I love those. Um, I do, I do like the nicer set that I have. Let's see. Where did I just put those? One thing about this is that shield does really, really help. Because I, I don't know. Yeah. At least, yeah. Um, the shield is nice. Because then you could actually look at it a little bit more without getting a headache. Mm-hmm. I'm curious. I'll look in this manual and check out what it wants us to set the speeds at and stuff. Because we might have to actually go set that in here. Because this seems very slow. I mean, compared to like my D1 or whatever, you know, I think flies though. We'll have to go, I'll have to go check it out and see what the actual speeds are and acceleration and all the good stuff. Because doesn't this seem super slow to you? Or is that, did you see that normal for you? I would say that's not too bad. No. Um, I mean, you got a good burn going. Hopefully it's not too loud, but I'm kicking up my air purifier here. That sounds fine, my man. Yeah, uh, I don't think there's no smoke alarm over here, so that's good. Oh yeah, but I, when I was testing this laser today, I had to open up the garage because I was cutting through a three-quarter inch pine. Yeah. So it instantly poomed in the garage. Three-quarter inch. Yep. Holy moly. Is it designed to have an air nozzle? You know, I didn't see that, but the shield actually has a hole. So it's might, it might be possible that they add one sometime. Oh, let me check their site real quick because I'm still on it. They might add it. See if they have any accessories. And it's not looking bad here. I mean, it's super, it's going very slow for what I'm used to. Um, but you know, that doesn't mean anything. I just feel like I set it at 2000 speed and that to me seems like it should be faster. But again, I need to check out what everything's set at. Oh man, it's been awesome everybody. If you have any questions, shoot them over. We are going to probably shut down the stream in the next few minutes here. 10 tops because I know tripod probably wants to go to bed and I want to go home and go to bed. I got a little guy all day tomorrow. Lindsay's teaching a babysitting class in the morning. And then she's coming home and her and her dad are going down to Chicago. Comic Con, the Chicago. It's not called Comic Con. I think it's Fan Fest now or whatever they call it. It's basically Comic Con. But they are going, there's a bunch of Star Trek and Lord of the Rings people that are going to be there. Oh, yeah. And and her dad is her dad and her are both fans of both. And so she's actually taking him down for for his birthday. That was his present from hers. She's going to go down and spend some time with him, like, you know, going to leave at noon ish and spend the rest of the day down there. And it'll take I think two hours to get there from here with the traffic and stuff. But all the stuff they want to see is later in the day anyway. So I get to hang out with the little guy all day tomorrow. Maybe we'll come visit your garage. There you go. Is it at the Stevenson or is it at McCormick? No, it's yeah. It's in Rosemont. Okay. Yeah. So yeah, Stevenson is they do a lot of cosplay a lot. We've we've been to a lot of Comic Con's there. We usually stay down there. And then we go over to the Brazilian steakhouse that's right there, too. Oh, yeah. That's good place. Man, yeah. From what I've heard, it helps. Yes, VW is electronics. Yeah, air assist is always awesome. If you're cutting. Yep. If you are engraving, do not use air assist. You don't want to use air assist while you're engraving. Like if you're doing pictures, stuff like I just did. With this, and I'll show you what this looks like in a second here. You don't want to use air assist on this. But hey, that's pretty good. Yeah. And I didn't even hear any grinding. So no, that all went away when I tightened the crap out of the gear. You know what's interesting? Tightening the belts and then having that stepper backwards. Yeah. But that looks good. Yeah, it looks really good. I didn't I didn't do it big. You know, I made it small. Um, you know, I had to because I don't want it to, you know, we want to spend all day here. But I just feel like it's super slow. I got to have a setting. Something's interesting. Well, that's a good day. This says, yes, it's going to be an awesome day tomorrow all day with the little guy. It is going to be so much fun. I'm just trying to think what we're going to do. So I have an RC plane. I have a couple, but one that's a park flyer electric that I'm learning. How to fly. But it's it's super light. It's foam and I can't go out of it's too windy. So I'm hoping maybe in the morning it's not too windy. What was that? You know, if you go back to edit and then settings again, better for diode, are you on millimeters per minute? Yeah. Well inches slash millimeters per minute. So my measurements are in inches. Oh, no. So you switch it to millimeters per minute. I'll show you in a second here. Yeah. It's the better for dialed third option down. Yeah. I have mine at the first one. And I just for whatever reason, I like to measure in. Oh, okay. You like freedom units? Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's basically. I was talking to Joseph Prusa and I was saying how hot it was. I said it was like, you know, 98 degrees when I picked up Sam. And he's like, I don't understand freedom units. That's hilarious. That is funny. So I have an idea for one more burn before we go here. I'm just trying to get it set up in light burn, not trying to ignore everybody. Yeah. Since I have been doing so many of these laser reviews, I just keep it on that now. So that way my reviews are consistent. Otherwise, I'll be doing the same thing with you. It's still tough for me to do the millimeters, especially when I'm installing stuff in the garage. It's all still standard. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm using a tape measure. I'm not using it, you know, it's. Yeah. I suppose I have, I bought a pretty sweet tape measure that does both. Well, it does. Oh, yeah. And it was pretty much, I'm trying to get this right here. Britain is supposed to be going back to freedom units. Oh, that sounds good. Interesting. It sucks as well. Working on a US-made car is still a hodgepodge. Well, most of it's starting to become metric, but. Yeah. The darn 10 millimeter. Oh, man. The one where everybody loses every five seconds. Oh, yeah. Well, I found a socket when we were cleaning out the garage. I'm like, oh, is that a 10 millimeter? Nope, it was a nine. That's funny. So I'm hurrying, everybody. I've been doing this for a long time. So I'm hurrying, everybody. I'm literally trying to trace this picture and make it look good real quick here. That's one thing I do a lot is I do the trace and then make it into a vector. And it makes everything go so much better. Yeah. I don't disagree with you. It's a matter of actually getting a trace that looks good. Oh, I'm so close. We're doing it. I'm going to fill. We're going to do the same settings we just did. We're going to have to make it a little smaller, though, because that's 20 minutes. BW's ID, I thought it was like a joke hearing that Boris resigned and then I actually went on the internet. I'm like, oh, my gosh, he actually did resign. Yeah, that, that, yeah. All right, we're just going to do the outline on this one. That's only going to be, it's going to be very fast. But I need to make sure I have enough room here. And like you said, unfortunately, for some dang reason, they didn't do a lot of pass through here. Yeah, it didn't need to be raised up. It's a, and then you see like, like the Comgo Z1 and other laser engravers that they don't have the separate motors hanging off the sides. All right, you ready for this? Yep. Let me turn the, I think the, I may need a new battery here, dang it. Real quick, I got a swap GoPro batteries. My handy dandy GoPro here was running that whole time. And luckily I have a bajillion batteries for this same model because most of them were the same for a while. And I just bought that newer one that there we go. Pop this back in and they're pretty fast to change. So that's my issue on Maker Deck right now. I think the battery keeps dying. It's not staying charged. It's not staying charged for the hours I needed to stay charged. So I might have to buy that like media thing, which kind of sucks to me. But I wish I could get this closer so you could actually see this better. All right, here we go. We're going for it. Yeah, it's hard to see. Let's see. Does this one any better? Nope. Well, it's burning. You can see that it's burning, right? Everybody else, how you doing? Thank you so much for being here still. We are rocking and rolling. This is the last test we're going to do here if you have any questions. Feel free to let me know. Again, John from Tripods Garage is with us as well. And he has one of these and he's been an awesome resource all night. And great to talk to you. I appreciate the company. It's a little better than just talking to myself all the time. No problem. Well, that didn't do what I thought I was going to do. Did you just have it on line mode? Yeah. Oh yeah, you did a trace. I have it on 40 power at 2000 on line mode. And it's, let me just see. No, that's OK. Let's see if you can see here what I did. I did line mode because it was going to take too long. Nice. Tripods Garage avatar. Yeah, I snatched it quick from your Twitter. There you go. Hey, you go pretty good. Let me say that's going to be a bad because there's not enough light up there. It's right here. The challenge is here, I got an idea. The challenge is I did it in line mode and it's not dark enough on this. There you go. You can see it. It's hilarious. Do you have the O-Tour 3? No. OK, either do I. I don't have any O-Tours. I did not take it. I said no. Well, yeah, if you were not part of the discussion, it's kind of hard to do the reviews of the same type of style. And yes, and basically that's, you know, it's you're getting a laser head. Right. Gantry, you know, but Rob Joe. To be fair, I cannot say yes or no if this thing's better than that. But I have the LaserMaster 2. I have the LaserMaster 2 Pro. I might have another one of the LaserMasters. They are they are great machines. I mean, they really are. Yeah, I mean, it's I did this. Nope. Let me hang on. I keep forgetting I had my, let's see, take this off solo mode. There you go. Yeah, that was done on it. So it does a good job. Yeah, the LaserMaster is good. This this machine, I'm going to have to go out on a limb and say for the couple burns I used solid. It is super solid to hold the act. If you were here earlier, we were having some issues with noise and all that. That is fixed now. So it must have been a belt. Something, but it's fixed now. Um, and so that's good. It's light. You could probably pick this thing up and take it with wherever. Just don't lose the thing in the front there. Yeah. I'm super impressed with how small of line. This is actually putting out for a five and a half watt laser or dial because usually the smaller the dial, the two, you know, the one and a half, twos are much better at engraving. Yeah. You're right. With the wattage, it tends to lose. Yeah. Well, your dial size gets bigger, right? And when your, when your spot gets bigger, that's why I'm a pretty impressed with how they use the lens in this thing or whatever. I have to look it up because I saw something about the lenses in this that was supposed to be different on this particular diode. But what I like about it is they really have that, that spot compressed and that's going to be great for engraving. Yeah. One thing I'm trying to raise this thing way up now, but I don't ever like to leave them down because I crash them sometimes. I get it. But, but you know what? I'm pretty impressed with this thing. I think it was like five something on Amazon. It's there's a link in the description if you want to check that out. 300. Oh, is it? Yep. Yeah. On two trees site and Amazon. Awesome. I wonder if I grabbed the wrong one. I better check this. Yeah. 299, but that's not your official store, but 299 on Amazon. And then I was on their site. Two trees. Over here. It's 299. You're right. You're right. 299 on Amazon. Five and a half watt. They call it a 40 watt laser engraver. But yeah, it's not. And right now, two trees is offering a 20% off coupon code. Yes. That you could offer on their website. And they have the different versions on here too. So this day of the 5.5, the 2S, and I have the 55. Yeah, the 55. But yeah. So 299 actually, that's a pretty solid price for this thing. Yeah, so I think that you'll have to check. I'm not sure if they have a shipping to Australia, maybe through Amazon. Would this cut through one eighth wood for crafting? I think it can. I'm not going to say no, but it might, if you burn through enough. I mean, with enough passes, you can, but it might not look pretty. But one eighth is pretty thin. I mean, I'm guessing one eighth might be like what this cardboard is here. It's pretty thin. And they do offer an expansion kit to make it 420 by 400. Nice. I am going to check out, I'm definitely going to check out the settings though. I'm a little bit, I don't think this thing's moving as fast as it should, but maybe that's just the machine. They did show a pass through. Eight millimeters, they said. It could cut up to eight millimeters, and but promise it doesn't say how many passes. That for a five watt laser, that's to do it on one pass, even if it's really, really slow. That's to me doesn't sound right. And I've, you know, I mean, I've done seven reviews on lasers. But right. Well, we can, I mean, real quick, we could, I can find my mouse. I can just make a quick circle here, right? And I do that every time with a circle. BWs, we didn't find any irresist on there, so on their site. Irresist is starting to become more and more popular with newer designs that these manufacturers are coming out with. All right, just for the argument's sake, 1,000 speed and 80 power, one pass. Let's see what it does on, oh, you know what, I unplugged it all. So I want to see what it does to this cardboard. Their TS2 looks like nothing. It has drag and nothing like this one has drag chains. It's got, it just, I mean, well. The whole reason I got this one is because they were offering me a different one that isn't out yet. I think this, yeah, this TS looks amazing. Which one is that the one looks like a box that's enclosed? No, no, this is all open, but I mean, yeah, you go on to two trees site. Yeah, there we go. I just clicked this back on. We're going to flip this camera back around. I'm going to burn the crud out of this. Now I'm going to have to cut 15 millimeter plywood. What's the, it's kind of autofocus. It's got irresist built in. Is that, which one are you looking at? The TS, their brand new one that just came out. Is it the one that looks like it's enclosed? No, it's open. Weird. I mean, you throw it into the private chat and you could just pull it up. I mean, this looks so professional. I can pull up the website real quick too. All right, here we go. So here's what we got keeps. I'm going to move this around in a second here. You're going to see the frame. Good. Here we go. You ready? Let me throw my glasses on because I've pumped this thing up to, I've pumped this thing up. Yeah, I think so. A lot of these companies are now starting to make optional enclosures that are ventilated. This should only take a second. Okay, that was a thousand speed at 80 percent. This is where it burned. See that hole right here? The circle. And it did, it was pretty clean through the cardboard. A little bit of right here that didn't go through. It's usually, yeah, that's usually your starting point. That's where I always had a problem is like it doesn't do an overlap. So that was 1000 speed on this one at 80 percent. It did burn through this cardboard and it did chart a little bit. I always check that just for the heck of it on the sides, but not bad. Now, you know, that was cardboard. Okay, so slow it down, turn it up a bunch of passes. This thing might go through it. Cool. Any other questions before we call it a day? Okay, so this new one is the one that TSQ is a 10 watt version. I'm popping this open, yeah. And still cutting depth at 15 millimeters? No, sorry. How many millimeters is this? 15 millimeters is huge. Yeah, but yeah, I mean that looks cool. What size is this though? I'll look at that engraving area about the same size. Well, yeah, I tell you it's 400. That's more of a standard of the industry. So this right here, I'm doing testing a 20 watt laser diode. This is 17.8 millimeters. And that did it at two millimeters per second. Yeah, almost in one pass. So you're not going to get that unless you go super slow and chances are it will do a fire. That one has a fire detection on it. And chances are it'll stop it before it will. You said two millimeters. What's that? Wow. You said two millimeters per pass? No, two millimeters per second. Per second, I mean that's what I meant when they say per pass. So I have to see what the equation is for that. This is the one that they were going to send me originally. Yeah, that's nice. I like that that one's enclosed. It's enclosed. It's a smaller, you know, it's a smaller build area I think inside. I guess we'll have to look. But yeah, you can do, it looks like it's on the outside. Yeah, it's built in rotary, it has built in air filtration. Is that built in? I think you can set it in there. Yeah, there's a cable here. No, it does have that new one. The TS-2 RoboJope has limit switches on it. Oh yeah. I don't know. I don't think you can disable the fire detect because that's in the laser module itself. So when you get one that has the fire detect, usually it has the motion sensor as well. And it just depends on which laser head they get for a board. Yeah, I'm not sure. This engraving size 300 by 200 is a little smaller. They do have a 5 or a 10 watt. And see, that's where they see where they catch you with the output power. You know, it's like, yeah, that doesn't matter. Yeah, but this doesn't matter yet. Yeah, but what's nice about this, this one is, that's, there you go. There's a, there's a good shot of your 10 watt probably there with two diodes, I'm guessing. And what's nice about this one is fully enclosed. It has the shield here, but it also has the lid that comes down, which is awesome. It looks like it can cut through according to that. You know, they always show the cool pictures. This, this shield is awesome. I love that. If you're burning something, that means if someone walks into the room, they're not going to go blind. Yeah, I was originally thinking about bringing a laser with, but then I didn't want to be responsible tomorrow. It has a honeycomb. That's pretty awesome. It has a attachment for the rotary. The rotary is built in. You take out the honeycomb. You think so? Or yeah, I think, or not built in. Maybe you place it in and if I think you need the honeycomb bed and then. I think you're right, because that would be bad, man. If you burn it through your honeycomb or ripping up that rotary, that would suck. But I mean, it has an exhaust that you can put in with a fan, a little blower fan here. That'll help a little. I'm sure that would help some, especially if you can go outside with that. Nice. I mean, oh, look at this. Yeah, like I said, built in. It looks like it has an air pier for it. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I was on the live stream when they were introducing it. Nice. I mean, this thing, this is the kind of laser that we definitely need to check out, right? It's super cool. It looks like a lot of good tech in there. It looks like they thought a lot of through it. Yeah, looks like you can shoot through Wi-Fi. I'm hoping you can use Lightburn. Please say you can use Lightburn. That said, their app wireless transmission. Interesting. But you're right. There's offline modes, which is good. Multiple offline modes. Maybe that means Lightburn. I like Lightburn a lot. But yeah, I mean, that's pretty cool. But I'm not even showing you. I'm cycling through this talking and not even showing it. Sorry, guys. But yeah, I think through what this one is, the one they sent me today, it is not a bad little laser. It cut like it was supposed to, or it did cut like it was supposed to. It engraved like it was supposed to. I'm going to play with speeds because I think this could go much faster. I feel like all the new ones today should be much faster than this was moving. And I set it pretty slow. So that could be on me. Overall, what's your thought? I mean, you've had it for a little while longer than I have. Opened at least. Yeah, I didn't have many bad things to say about it. It was definitely the pass-through was irritating because three sections is cut off. So putting materials in. What he means is, just so you can see this, this can't go forward here anymore because the control panel goes all the way down to the ground. So if this was a long piece of material, you can go in from the back like this. But you can't pass through it anywhere. If it was raised, you could. I guess you could make feet for it and just raise it up. And that was my suggestion during the, I said that, you know, all they had to do is make the, you know, the risers a little bit taller. And you also, your left and your right is blocked too with the stepper motors. Yeah, you can't go this way with the stepper motors. But you only have one section to pass through the material. Right. BW Electronics, is that something you could take to a craft fair? Yeah, the one that wasn't closed, absolutely. You could take that around to the craft fairs. But, but yeah, I mean, overall you liked it mostly. Yeah, it was just a build. Yeah, the build was definitely longer than I thought it was going to be. And it is whatever, holy moly, it's almost midnight. But the build was definitely longer than I thought it was going to be. But it is what it is. I think it is solid for what it is. I think it's light. It, I think it'll definitely do good. This is one that I definitely would give a friend of mine or something if he needed, if they needed one. Because I have so, I just have a few that I don't need to keep adding them. But this is one that I think I feel comfortable with giving to somebody to learn on. You know. Yeah, I think it's a great entry level machine. And it's something to learn off of because it also has Wi-Fi as well. And again, the antenna is buried in that box that you could take extra. You can, it has double side tape already on it. So you could just fix it to the frame somewhere. Yeah, it's a decent little machine. I mean, it's not actually, when I say little, it's 300 by 300. Still, if you're in a 3D printing space, that is a still big surface area. It's a pretty good surface, yeah. Yeah, but you know, standards are now as a 400 square. Yeah. But if that's all you need, if this is all the space you had, that would be pretty solid. Absolutely. So two trees, I would have to say this, I was a little skeptical coming in. And for 300 bucks for what I see here, the build and everything, not bad at all. Good job on this thing. I'm hoping you'd let me check out that other one, the TS3. I think it was called still. And I promise it'll go much faster than this one did. Because hopefully, I mean, hopefully I'm not getting COVID again and all that. But long story short, thank you guys for being here. I know we've dwindled in people and it's up and down all night. It's been a Friday night tripod. John, I really appreciate you coming on and just chatting, hanging out. It was a lot of fun. It was legit trying to find my first burn, not 30 minutes ago, Cody says. You know, not bad. I have not put this thing through paces. But what I've seen so far, just a little bit, I've seen, I would say not bad. Obviously, John's used it more than I have, and he could say that. But it was plain a little funky with light burn. Yeah, I mean, I've engraved, so to give you an understanding, I've engraved glass with using tempera paint. I did stainless steel, did the decent job. Again, you're oxidizing the stainless steel. You're not actually engraving it. Wood, it did fine. Did a great job on a bamboo cutting board. It's a great little blazer for someone that's getting into it. Yeah, just dial in your speeds, a lot of testing. If you're just getting into it, it takes a lot of trial and error for speeds and power. There's a bunch of good tests out there to kind of dial in that. Two trees, nice work. I think it's definitely better than I thought I was a little skeptical again coming in, because I saw a laser from two trees, but I didn't know they did lasers. But, dude, nice work. Thank you for sending this over, and I appreciate that. And John, again, thank you for hanging out with us, everybody, right? So, everybody, hang out. We will see you Sunday at noon. Is it noon? I think it's Sunday noon, central time. We're going to get out the Soval SVO4 iDex 3D printer, so we're going to have some fun with that. So, yeah, stay tuned for a lot of live streams coming, because I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. And we're going to have some fun. But thank you so much, everybody. I appreciate it. John, I'll be right back with you. And everybody else, have a great night. Thank you again for being here. Everybody who stuck around the whole night, non-foam, I see you. Thank you for being here. Everybody who donated the Andrews, thank you guys and everybody. I am having a manual official firmware. Yeah, Cody, amen on that. Everybody else, have a good night, everybody. We got to go to bed. We will see you Sunday noon for the SVO4. See you guys later. Have a great weekend, everybody. Bye.
