Ricky, I have watched hours upon hours on how to use a slicer. I have learned more from your 11-minute video than I ever had from other tubers. Thank you!
I’m 6 minutes in and already know a ton more. Other RU-vidrs say “copy these settings” and then don’t explain anything. And since there’s no perfect priest for everything we want to print, it fails and I get discouraged. Not here. Subscribed, and thank you for the content.
This video helped my 10yo troubleshoot the 3d printers in his school’s STEM lab. He’s been frustrated because none of the teachers understand how to fix them. After watching this, he was able to identify the different steps necessary to get them working rather easily. He said “Daddy make sure you like and comment on that guy’s video and then subscribe to his channel.” Mission accomplished!
@@RickyImpey Update to my previous comment: The benefactor of my son's STEM lab noticed his determination and wrote us a check to purchase a Flashforge Adventurer 5m. It's been running non-stop since we got it and I think we'll be spending a lot more time on your channel from now on! Thanks again for this info, you never know how it will directly or indirectly help someone in discovering or advancing such a cool passion.
Oh wow! That's amazing. I really hope you and your Son enjoy your new printer. I gave my 5M Pro to my nephew and he is the same, printing non-stop since he got it. It's so rewarding to see the next generation learning to use these tools as they will end up doing far more with them than we will.
Literally watched SO many VIDEOS trying to understand why the stl file just won’t work and print. Thank you for giving an actual solid foundation to my 3d printing understanding
I am 100% clueless and completely new to the world of 3D printing, I received my new Ender 3 in the mail today and I spent hours watching videos, googling terms, etc. Then, I found this video and I am so glad that I did! I have learned more from watching your 11 minute video than I have from the endless hours of scrolling and watching other videos, that only left me more confused and with more questions 😐 after watching this video, I am now currently printing my very first successful 3D print and I feel so accomplished! Thank you so much for creating such informative and awesome content!
Awesome, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. People like yourself are the reason this channel exists. It's great to hear that a video helped 👍
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! OMG! Your video was so great. I love how you kept it simple for those of use new to printing and slicing. Other videos are good, but the presenter often goes off in other directions and talks about things a newbie wouldn't have learned yet. It was great how you stopped at those points where a more experienced person could follow, and said things like "I'm not going to leave that standard to keep it simple." And then you did things like demonstrated with a simple first build. I'd already done a 3dbenchy that was already in gcode. But thanks to your video, i now understand the concept of why and how I need to slice to convert to gcode.😄
Awesome, thanks Craig! I hated the way I had to watch a ton of videos to just try and get the basics when I started. People forget that you don't need to know everything to get started, you will find the other stuff when you are ready for it. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to know, I do weekly videos and want to help people with more of this kind of thing. Thanks for leaving a comment 👍
Just got my printer, and boy am I glad this is the first video I came across. THANK YOU for all the preventer trouble, I’m seeing all these comments and feel blessed
Excellent walk through. Easy to understand, especially for a newbie to the 3D printing world. You aren't using odd jargon and aren't drifting off into odd examples that end up confusing.
Just bought an Artillery X2 and stumbled across your videos about bed leveling and this slicing. That helped so much to understand the way of printing 3d models. Thanks very much.
Incredibly helpful for newbs like me and my son. We were feeling a bit overwhelmed until we watched your video and now we're starting on our first print! Thank you so much!!
I'm very new to 3d printing and had no knowledge about slicer software. I was a bit overwhelmed buy this video perfectly explained what I needed, and what the software does. Thanks a bunch :)
Just spent the morning setting up a new Ender Printer, and getting ready to print. Have now watched four of your videos. Thankyou so much. Incredibly helpful and informative. You have saved me many hours of hassle down the track.
Thank you very much for the pnenominal tutorial! Recently got back into printing with my new Ender 3 V2 Neo, and this was the perfect video length and fantastic instruction!
Great video. I just picked up an Ender 3 S1 Pro and based on watching your videos I've got the bed aligned & first prints came out great. Now with this tutorial, I should be all set to slice my own models. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos.
Really clear vid Ricky cheers! I’m very new to all this, and got surprised by the fact Cura remembers the settings from how you sliced your last 3D design. Naturally you want it to retain your nozzle & bed temp, etc. But if you’ve added a brim to a print, it will add the same brim to the next project you slice, unless you manually change it. Unless my Cura settings are up the spout, might be a useful reminder for newbies!
My printer is being delivered tomorrow. I’ve been watching lots of videos and TBH I’ve felt very confused and frustrated by them all either not explaining things or assuming you know terms and what they mean etc. I’ve actually been put off and considering sending it back. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! I, like many others it seems, have learned and understood so much more in this 11 minutes than I have in days of watching other videos. Liked, subscribed and saved! Thanks again 🙏
Thanks for making this! I just setup my Ender-3 V2 Neo the other day, and using your instructions I was able to successfully print the calibration cube using Cura, in addition to a filament guide that the video I watched to setup/level my printer linked in the video description. Much appreciated... new subscriber!
super helpful!!! I’m a newbie to 3D printing and this was great info. I appreciate the level of detail you went to. I had to be ready with the pause button though! It would help a lot if you slowed down a bit
I teach high school students how to 3D print. I find your very helpful as an introduction. I plan to start using it right away. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
That's great to hear, I always try to make things as simple to understand as possible so hearing that someone is using it to teach is extremely rewarding. Thanks.
Thanks Ricky - I received an Ender 3 Pro as a loaner for a year plus and with your video I was able to download stl files - slice it with Cura - and print successfully several objects. Now my next challenge is to learn a CAD program so I can alter an stl file to my needs.
This was the most helpful video i found thank you so much. I have the ender 3 pro got it all setup then felt overwhelmed by the software stuff I couldn't figure out the sites to get files to print from this helped me tremendously
Wow thanks. 12 minutes ago i knew nothing about how you get a design to the printer...12 minutes later I now know what's required and where to go regarding programs, etc. This is a massively straight forward and easy to understand direction for us newbies, thankyou.
Excellent video. I am a 100% beginner and had no idea of what to do. I watched several videos and this is the perfect one for its balance between technical information and common sense (new users) information. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
ive learned so much more in just this one, easy to follow, video than spending a whole month of headaches trying to learn how to use my 3D printer, THANK YOU
I have iMac 24” PC and I don’t know how to do an SD card to a Mac ? I have learned a lot. His videos are so easy to understand. He doesn’t do any goofy music or do all it is talking about himself. He just jumps right into the project.
geez dude i got my printer yesterday so very very new and you made it so clear and easy for me to understand im already printing my first item every with my new printer i just built yesterday.... im in real trouble now im starting to learn and understand
@Ricky Impey not real well, put it together, leveled the bed but when it went to print it looks like it burnt all the carbon off. Hot mess! Now I'm waiting for a new bed, I'm not sure how to fix it. This is all over my head I guess.
Excellent Video !! Where has this video been ? You managed to explain with simplicity about code and how to go about setting up a file for printing . This is a Great video for beginners to watch ! Other RU-vidrs forget that beginners don't have the knowledge that they possess and explains things as if you already up up to speed. Thank you for making this video maybe you can make some more to help out newbies to 3D printing .
New to 3d printing and this video was helpful. Simple explanation and I just subscribed to your channel and will be checking out your other videos. Thanks
Even though this video is 2 years old it has really helped me after getting my first Ender 3 with no prior experience, I will be looking at more of your videos do you have anything on what the port next to the SD card on an Ender 3 is for?
Thank you so much, got a printer for Christmas but never had time to set it up and was confused on why all the prints I tried was not making the bed and extruder heating up to the right temp like it is for the prints it came with
Great video thankyou. Im just getting into 3D printing and your video was perfect for making sense of this next step without any over information or confusion
I’ve watched several videos on how to 3D print things, and your video is in the tops of 99% of them. That’s saying a lot as computers and high tech stuff is difficult for me to learn after my traumatic brain injury. Thank you for this video, and I’ll be watching many more of your videos. Thank you again. 😊
Great video. Very helpful. This may just be me, but I've had to adjust the playback speed to 85% as ya kinda talk fast. Just a comment. I'm a subscriber now and looking forward to checking out all of your videos.
Excellent video. Really helped me out finding the courage to finally start printing bigger things than the little owl. Quick question. If I have a model that is to big for a single go, can cura slice this into 2 parts too? Or do I have to manually separate them in fusion 360 or my 3d Software of choice?
I find the best way is to cut larger parts up in separate software as this is not something that Cura does very well. There are ways to do it but I don't find them very easy. Here is one option: www.makeuseof.com/cura-3d-slicer-split-object-into-multiple-parts/#:~:text=To%20start%20splitting%20the%20object,file%2C%20and%20print%20them%20individually.
This was a fantastic video. Thanks so much. I received an Ender v3 SE for fathers day and have been staring at it for 2 days wondering what to do next. :) Is there a way to make changes to projects or to start a project from scratch?
