 This is the one year anniversary of the first Edge of Tech video. My name's Jim, and this is the Edge of Tech. Hey everybody, it's been one year since I posted my very first video right here on the Edge of Tech. I couldn't be more excited. So much has happened in this past year and I just wanted to make a really quick video outlining a little bit of what's happened and thanking everybody out there that's helped me along the way. First up, Luke Hatfield, one bad Marine, the creator of the help guide that I started my channel with. Thank you so much, sir, for all your help in the beginning before I started this channel and then allowing me to bring your help guide out to the people through video. It continues to be shared every day multiple times all around the forums and I look forward to bringing more videos this year straight from your guide. I cannot thank you enough for helping me start this channel. Secondly, Tim, Samantha, A-A-Ron, Aaron, and Tim over at TH3D. In the beginning, Tim took a chance on me and sent me a mean well power supply for my Ender 3. Ever since then, Tim has become a great friend. Samantha, Aaron, you guys as well. I can't thank you guys enough for allowing me to film your products, to come down and hang out with you guys and for becoming the friends that you are. I look forward to many more fun times. Wendy and Bob or Boots as they call them and all the team over at Co-X Filament. Thank you guys so much for everything you do for the channel. Providing filament for me to shoot with and test with, allowing me to come up to the factory and check it out and film. Also allowing me to come down to Fabtech with Steve and enjoy the show on you guys. I really appreciate everything you do for the channel. I look forward to our partnership in 2020. It's gonna be awesome. Creativity, you guys rock. You guys sent me my very first 3D printer that was free and that was to film the build guide out of Luke's Help Guide. I really appreciate the partnership I have with you guys. As you can see, most of the stuff around me is all creativity based and I hope that continues to grow. Ben, you're the man. I really appreciate your friendship and I really appreciate working with you. Thank you guys for everything you do for our community. Thank you for listening and changing your printers and fixing your printers and modifying them to be better as you get the feedback in for everybody. I really appreciate that and I look forward to doing some more stuff with you guys this year. Everybody else. Everybody out there that's reached out, that's helped me, that's given me tips, helped me on the forums, helped me on the pages, on Discord channels. You guys are the superstars as well. Thank you so much for everything you do. Keep the questions coming. You can throw them in the comments below here on any of my videos. I'm gonna do better this year in responding. It got a little overwhelming and so I'm gonna do better this year in responding to questions and getting back to people faster. Emails and chats on the page on Facebook, Twitter chats, everything. I'm gonna do what I can this year to get back faster and get things done better for you guys. Now for some fun stuff. Some stats on the channel in the last year. I'm gonna go through these kinda quick but I was really proud of this. In one year, I've accomplished a ton on this channel and it's because of this community. The 3D printing community is absolutely amazing. So here's a few stats from the channel in the last year and it's all because of you guys. Number one, as of the filming of this video, we have 6,631 subscribers. I can't thank you enough because in one year, that is a great number. Personally, I'm hoping to get to 15,000 this year so let's do that but I need your help on that too because about 70% of people that watch the videos don't subscribe so mash that subscribe button. Another fun stat. The channel has had 2,798,434 watch minutes. That means people have spent almost 3,000,000 minutes watching The Edge of Tech and that is amazing. As of today, 128 videos have been posted. That includes live streams and that is a lot of videos. As of the filming of this video, we have 463,460 views. That is phenomenal. I don't have any videos that have gone crazy viral or anything like that but that is a great number of views, almost 464,000 views in one year. Last year, we've met a ton of great people. We got to go to Merf, we got to go to IRF and Milwaukee Maker Faire and this year, I'm hoping to get to go to even more things which will be a lot of fun. Here are some things that I wanna do in 2020 just for you guys. I promise that we're gonna have some more videos, we're gonna have more content, we're gonna have more printers, we're gonna make those videos better, we're gonna incorporate prints into them. I know that is a good feedback I had that I need to show prints when we're done so I am gonna do that. I'm gonna be better on social media all across the board. You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, obviously here on YouTube and don't forget, you can look me up, you can chat me, you can email me, whatever you need to do, you can always get your question in but I'm gonna be better at all of the social medias about responding and getting out to you guys. Patreon, thank you guys so much for being patrons if you're a patron. This channel doesn't make a ton of money and obviously with the new space here I'm spending a ton of money. So, I really appreciate the patrons I have out there. I promise that I'm gonna put a ton more content on. I'm gonna start a schedule and get some scheduled stuff going with my patrons this year and we're gonna get a bunch of more content out on Patreon. If you're not a Patreon subscriber, a patron on the page, feel free to do so, even $1 helps. You guys are amazing. I really appreciate the patrons that I have and the support you guys have given me and the great feedback also. So, keep that coming. 2020 is gonna be awesome for you guys as well. Well, thank you guys so much for watching. I really appreciate it. I can't say enough how much I thank you guys. Check out videos coming up. I have a ton going on and the new space is gonna be transforming and morphing and turning into a better studio as I go and I'm gonna do that for you guys and I'm gonna bring you along with that ride. So, if you wanna see something throw it in the comments below. If you guys have tips or ideas for videos or anything like that, also throw them in the comments below. You guys rock and I really appreciate every single one of you guys. Keep printing.
