Well,  @elyarchi6981  sent a threat to  @ThePrintHouse  over their video where they were not only honest, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Should companies even be allowed to do this??? Creators are trusted for our opinions, that is the only thing we have, our integrity, and part of printer reviews and first looks is that we have full control over what is said and why. Yes, we often want to give the companies the benefit of ...

FINALLY We get confirmation that the IN in the @bondtechab INDX Means INDUCTIVE!! This sparked a chat about what our ideal 3D Printer could be, so why not do it with you all!?


We will be asking questions like:

What makes a perfect 3d printer?

What price point makes the most sense?

What level of accessories and 3rd party support would we like to see?

What about open source?

Quite a few major companies, and smaller ones have announced @kickstarter s recently. We will talk about the in depth reasoning behind it, how it looks from a manufacturer that has done a Kickstarter before, and why even major players still seem to choose it, for seemingly no reason! (Hint: its marketing)


We will answer things like:

Is Kickstarter right for my business?

Why do big businesses still use kickstarter?

What is kickst...

The @BambuLab H2D specs were revealed and the brand new @bondtechab INDX tool changer system as well! Time to talk about how quantity and quality do not always have to be apart! The idea of more machines make for better business can be valuable, but when does having quality matter more than quantity?? Does more always mean more better??

Hanging out with Jacob  @construct3d  talking all about the latest firmware update from  @BambuLab , its implications for users, as well as its implications for businesses! This latest update bricks users' ability to choose which slicer they want without using a new software from Bambu, further making it more difficult to use something other than Bambu Studio, with many users preferring  @OrcaSlicer  from  @softfever5570  to B...
