WEBVTT 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.880 - We'll just be unkind to it here. Right? Stop. 00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:06.910 I'm trying to screw with you. Stop. - Screw with you. 00:00:06.910 --> 00:00:11.370 - As I get older, there's one thing that I want my 3D printers to do, work. 00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:15.990 And you, you think that's pretty easy but it really is not an apparently AnchorMake 00:00:15.990 --> 00:00:20.063 has made one that uses the power of AI to prevent spaghetti. 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.643 Let's test it out and huge thanks to anchor make for sponsoring this video. 00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:31.830 Oh I've been using 3D printers for the better part of 10 years. 00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:35.110 And for about five of those, I didn't use 3D printers 00:00:35.110 --> 00:00:38.260 because they're so good at being just terrible. 00:00:38.260 --> 00:00:41.410 For a long while there, I only liked using laser cutters 00:00:41.410 --> 00:00:44.430 because then at least if it fails, you only waste an hour 00:00:44.430 --> 00:00:48.100 or two instead of a day. When you're working on videos like this, 00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:52.230 you can't waste a day. Oh In the last couple of years though, 00:00:52.230 --> 00:00:57.080 3D printers have gotten to the point where, well I enjoy using them again. 00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:00.080 They work well. They give me my parts and I just arrive the next day. 00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:04.020 And it's sitting there. It's fantastic. It's hopefully this one can do that and even better 00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:09.163 Apparently faster too. Although their 70% claims are kind of eh. 00:01:12.450 --> 00:01:14.843 Oh, fancy! Look at this. 00:01:16.030 --> 00:01:20.600 Apparently this thing only takes 15 minutes to put together. I guess we're gonna find out soon. 00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:25.720 I'm running out of table. I like the packaging. It seems like the whole thing arrived in intact. 00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:30.370 Despite you know, UPS's best efforts. 00:01:30.370 --> 00:01:34.810 This plate rate here looks really expensive. This is all aluminum. 00:01:34.810 --> 00:01:38.274 I don't know if it's hallow or not. Can we take it apart? Let's take it apart. 00:01:38.274 --> 00:01:42.930 We're supposed to be putting it together, but you know, sometimes things just start going the wrong way. 00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:46.860 Have an included tool kit. Very nice. Oh weird. 00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:50.033 Look at this. It's a changeable Allen key. 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.310 - We'll see how difficult it is. Okay, bottom's plastic. 00:01:56.310 --> 00:02:00.583 That's good. I don't know the price yet. So I'm mostly just looking 00:02:00.583 --> 00:02:07.090 at this and hoping it's not too bad. Normally you don't compliment people on using plastic. 00:02:07.090 --> 00:02:12.368 But if this whole thing was aluminum I would've been pretty concerned about the pricing. 00:02:12.368 --> 00:02:18.230 It's just injection mold of plastic. The top though is a piece of aluminum. 00:02:18.230 --> 00:02:19.653 Wonder what the chances are. 00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:25.300 Heck yeah. Did we do it? 00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:29.070 Feels like there's a sneaky screw somewhere. Do you know how many units there are 00:02:29.070 --> 00:02:32.550 in existence right now Jono? - [Jono] No probably very little. 00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:36.270 - Yeah, very few. I know that this is all beta build stuff. 00:02:36.270 --> 00:02:40.610 So how many exist right now? We don't know, but it can't be very many. 00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:45.150 So we probably shouldn't break it. Found the last screw required to get this open. 00:02:45.150 --> 00:02:48.870 It requires a 16th inch hex. 00:02:48.870 --> 00:02:51.213 This right here does not reach all the way down. 00:02:52.633 --> 00:02:57.430 - [David] They knew what they were doing. - Yeah. They probably don't want us in here 00:02:57.430 --> 00:03:00.143 which look, fair enough. We're gonna be right beside AC. 00:03:01.850 --> 00:03:07.770 Ha ha! Damn afraid Jono this is gonna be expensive. 00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:11.500 There's no way this is cheap. That's a very nice and very expensive 00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:14.920 block of aluminum right there. One and a half, one and a half. 00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:18.690 Would've had to come out of like a three inch thick piece of aluminum. 00:03:18.690 --> 00:03:22.790 This has to be a beta version thing. This would either have to be cast 00:03:23.720 --> 00:03:28.020 or plastic in the final one. There's no way they're doing something this expensive 00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:32.010 or it's gonna be like a $5,000 machine. $429. Okay, yeah. 00:03:32.010 --> 00:03:36.420 There's no way that this right here is a part on the final version. 00:03:36.420 --> 00:03:41.690 If the early bird prices and that's what like a bit off. So that means the final is gonna come around 800 ish. 00:03:43.210 --> 00:03:46.950 - Okay. Yeah. There's no way this part's on there. 00:03:46.950 --> 00:03:53.190 This is a really nice part. Our Pantheon printer has a very similar like 00:03:53.190 --> 00:03:55.523 build plate that they put everything against. 00:03:56.890 --> 00:04:02.300 It's $8,000. If the product is this and it comes in at $429 00:04:02.300 --> 00:04:04.550 you should just buy it and take the aluminum. 00:04:05.710 --> 00:04:09.960 All right, now we can have a look at what's in here. We have a nice little power supply here. 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:15.000 24 volts. Oh Jono, looks like we can change the output voltage. 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.813 Should we try and over clog this thing? 00:04:18.230 --> 00:04:22.080 - That, that wouldn't work. Don't do that. You also have our nice little controller. 00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:25.413 I find it really interesting if they use type C. All right. 00:04:25.413 --> 00:04:30.220 We just got confirm from Anchor. This aluminum bit here is going to be cast 00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:34.240 in the final product, but it will be all aluminum which is sweet. 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.090 Do we read the instructions, Jono? Or do we just go for it? - Yeah, this seems very yoloable. 00:04:40.090 --> 00:04:42.493 There's probably a good way to do this. 00:04:43.623 --> 00:04:49.380 This one has a bent pin. No, I didn't bend the pin. It came with a bent pin. 00:04:49.380 --> 00:04:53.820 Oops. Now it's more bent. Is there like a way you're supposed to do this? 00:04:55.320 --> 00:04:58.800 - How? I was definitely supposed to plug in those motors 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.290 after it was through which would've made this way easier read the instructions. 00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:03.163 Don't be like me. 00:05:05.890 --> 00:05:10.313 - Yeah. Actually don't read the instructions. Make sure the first thing you do with every product 00:05:10.313 --> 00:05:15.480 you own is void the warranty. Yeah. I know people that kept the warranty on their things. 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:16.530 They're all dead now. 00:05:20.900 --> 00:05:24.210 Oh yeah that make it way easier. Yeah, if you look at it, yeah, 00:05:24.210 --> 00:05:28.350 it would just hold it kind of like I have it right now. Actually, we can still do that. 00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:31.980 Okay Jono, can you put the foam under it? 00:05:36.496 --> 00:05:39.857 You, you had it right the first time I think. - No, I think it was this way. 00:05:39.857 --> 00:05:43.090 There you go. - Yep. Okay that's easy. 00:05:43.090 --> 00:05:47.060 What are these four bolts for? It's for the filament hold Oh, that's a filament holder. 00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:53.650 This makes so much sense. I was so confused what this thing was. Yeah. So it goes here or here. 00:05:53.650 --> 00:05:55.493 I found a pre-production thing Jono. 00:05:58.010 --> 00:06:03.263 - The screw don't go through. - I think it's safe to say you won't have to do this step. 00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:08.060 Okay. Maybe safety classes are a good idea Jono. 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.500 Alright we did it. Alright now we can attach this. 00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:16.210 I love pre-production things they're always so much more fun. 00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:23.060 Back to the filament holder though. This little one that they gave us, clearly no problem. 00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:29.090 Now we have our regular sized role here and that fits pretty much perfectly. 00:06:29.090 --> 00:06:31.500 Although if you're going for the mega roll 00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:40.380 It, yeah not so much. I don't really expect it to be able to 00:06:40.380 --> 00:06:44.530 hold something like this. It weighs about as much as the printer. 00:06:44.530 --> 00:06:50.370 If you want a big roll, you're gonna have to buy one of the $20 Amazon roll holder things. 00:06:50.370 --> 00:06:56.270 Hey Jono, can you ask 'em how they do their leveling? They have 49 points of auto leveling, which is awesome. 00:06:56.270 --> 00:07:00.440 It makes your prints just work so much more of the time. 00:07:00.440 --> 00:07:07.310 Cause you know, if your bed isn't quite correct then maybe on one side, your first layer doesn't stick. 00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:12.070 And then it doesn't really work. First layer is kind of all that matters once you get that 00:07:12.070 --> 00:07:15.630 everything else is good. There's two ways to do auto leveling though. 00:07:15.630 --> 00:07:19.420 You can either have like a capacitive touch probe which is pretty good, 00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:23.310 but now a lot of them are using strain gauges, which is even better. 00:07:23.310 --> 00:07:25.163 Think we're about ready to boot this up though. 00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:28.083 Is it on? 00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:34.240 It is. Okay. Let's have a little look at the control that we have here. 00:07:35.510 --> 00:07:37.393 So if I hit home, where does it go? 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.250 There I guess. I'm not entirely sure how I feel 00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:49.490 about having the controller on the Z axis. It is going to be moving 00:07:49.490 --> 00:07:52.900 but it shouldn't be moving very much while it prints. 00:07:52.900 --> 00:07:54.823 Level before printing. Turn that on. 00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:01.943 Oh, nice. So it is using the actual extruder. 00:08:03.687 --> 00:08:07.130 I'm not quite sure how they're doing it. Okay, we're doing the auto leveling now. 00:08:07.130 --> 00:08:10.590 I guess just had to heat up first. It takes a little while to do it 00:08:10.590 --> 00:08:14.670 but I would still just leave it on for every single time that I run a print. 00:08:14.670 --> 00:08:19.250 It's just cheap insurance. That means it'll work more of the time. 00:08:19.250 --> 00:08:23.860 Okay, let's see. Cut the end of the filament on a 45 degree angle. 00:08:23.860 --> 00:08:28.800 Now we're just gonna put it in here, and hopefully 00:08:30.510 --> 00:08:35.610 I was kind of hoping that we could get a print started using what's here and oh, I got it through. 00:08:35.610 --> 00:08:38.850 Yeah, that's just kind of not great. 00:08:38.850 --> 00:08:42.560 I had a little bit of try trouble getting the filament to go 00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:47.460 down to the extruder. All I needed to fix, it was take off this little clip. 00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:52.570 You can pull this tube out and then look down in and feed the filament down. 00:08:52.570 --> 00:08:56.030 - Hey. All right? So what am doing is just 00:08:56.030 --> 00:09:00.265 connecting the 3D printer (Ankermake) 00:09:00.265 --> 00:09:04.010 with the app. What should we call this? 00:09:04.010 --> 00:09:09.140 Poopsmouth. - Sure. I was gonna say Printy boy number five. 00:09:09.140 --> 00:09:13.520 - Oh I like that, that's better. All right, PrettyBoy 5. Cool. 00:09:13.520 --> 00:09:20.560 We just want to make sure that this has all the latest firmware. 00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:24.730 That's cool, you can actually have files on your... 00:09:24.730 --> 00:09:27.450 Smartphone! And we can upload it from there. 00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:31.283 - You're taking too long. I already have G code on here. - Okay fine. 00:09:33.084 --> 00:09:34.213 You can control it. 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:42.690 - I love that they have their speed as five times even though it's just 250 millimeters per second 00:09:42.690 --> 00:09:45.890 which by the way, 250 millimeters per second. Very fast. 00:09:45.890 --> 00:09:49.780 That is awesome. I just find it silly how they did it. 00:09:49.780 --> 00:09:54.040 So let's, I wonder what this is. Let's just go see what happens. 00:09:54.040 --> 00:09:54.963 Oh, one thing. 00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:04.070 Oh yeah. - [Jono] Oooooooo. Satisfying. You have to Auto-Level again? - You don't have to, but I turn on auto leveling every time 00:10:04.070 --> 00:10:09.010 just cause it makes your prints more consistent. If this just works, I'm gonna be pretty impressed. 00:10:09.010 --> 00:10:12.150 I have done literally none of the things that you 00:10:12.150 --> 00:10:16.310 should probably do with 3D printer. Like not even an alcohol wipe, 00:10:16.310 --> 00:10:21.093 we definitely should have done that, but whatever. If this just goes then fantastic. 00:10:22.130 --> 00:10:26.410 What do you guys think this is? We're just putting mystery G code into this 00:10:26.410 --> 00:10:31.890 which I do not recommend, but it's from anchor. So I'm sure it's fine. Okay. Do they do a little extrude thing at the start? 00:10:34.570 --> 00:10:36.863 Nope. That's really fast for first layer. 00:10:38.630 --> 00:10:41.873 I'd probably turn it down a bit but I guess it's what it's doing. 00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:52.300 First layer's almost done, but I am impressed with the speed 00:10:52.300 --> 00:10:55.740 especially for just outta the box. This is looking promising. 00:10:55.740 --> 00:10:58.617 Let's come back in about an hour or something. 00:11:17.010 --> 00:11:20.200 All right. It's the next day, and I have to say, I'm very impressed. 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.700 This print took two hours and 24 minutes tells you right there. 00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:28.750 And this is, oh, comes off very easy. 00:11:28.750 --> 00:11:32.150 I was afraid that would be a bit of a challenge, but it wasn't. This is like, look at this. 00:11:32.150 --> 00:11:36.120 There's barely any stringing between these guys. There's like a tiny bit 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.790 but there's just a bunch of super challenging things in here. 00:11:39.790 --> 00:11:43.900 So like a ramp that just goes up to a 15 degree angle. 00:11:43.900 --> 00:11:47.180 It gets a little bit weird here but if you ever used a 3D printer before 00:11:47.180 --> 00:11:50.210 you know that this is not easy to do 00:11:50.210 --> 00:11:55.710 we've got a bunch of weird little overhangs in here and a whole bunch of little dimensions. 00:11:55.710 --> 00:11:59.070 So let's check it out. Something like this ramp is challenging 00:11:59.070 --> 00:12:03.960 because we aren't using support. So that means that it kind of just has to print it 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:08.670 and keep on going and have all the layers stick properly so it can do this overhang 00:12:08.670 --> 00:12:13.650 because it is just going up and up and up. So there's nothing supporting it under, underneath here. 00:12:13.650 --> 00:12:16.930 Same with these little spires are very difficult 00:12:16.930 --> 00:12:20.950 because of the filament. You know, it's very easy for even when it stops 00:12:20.950 --> 00:12:25.470 for a little bit to just keep on coming out. And then when it goes between them 00:12:25.470 --> 00:12:30.290 you get those little bits of filament in between it. So like if this printer wasn't working very well 00:12:30.290 --> 00:12:34.382 it would get a whole bunch of stringing in between these. And it would just kind, gonna look 00:12:34.382 --> 00:12:41.120 like a nest as opposed to a whole bunch of little spires. I think that what this is is it's a cylinder 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.130 and a hole of different sizes. So this is 0.5. 00:12:46.130 --> 00:12:51.233 That must is that half a millimeter. You can see it's a cylinder that comes out of the hole. 00:12:54.510 --> 00:12:58.130 - Yeah. And so this one's 0.3, that one comes out. 00:12:58.130 --> 00:13:01.140 Okay. For whatever reason, 0.4 comes after 0.3 00:13:01.140 --> 00:13:06.340 but sure that one comes out too. They need to figure out how they're doing it. 00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:10.530 But 0.2 of a millimeter that one's not coming out. 00:13:10.530 --> 00:13:14.410 Okay. It looks like each of these are 10 millimeter increments. 00:13:14.410 --> 00:13:18.170 The way that it's printed it's kind of hard to tell exactly how accurate it is. 00:13:18.170 --> 00:13:20.430 Like I can show it as 10 on here 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.890 but it might be a little bit off 24.9. 00:13:24.890 --> 00:13:29.520 I'm sure that was supposed to be 25. Very good. It's off by this much in a lot of cases. 00:13:30.890 --> 00:13:34.950 - But that's, that's barely off Jono. If you want your stuff off to be 00:13:34.950 --> 00:13:39.380 within a thousandth of a thousandth of an inch, then 00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:44.820 - Yeah. Pay 10 times more. There's a number of other cool things that we have here. 00:13:44.820 --> 00:13:49.520 Jono, do you wanna bring over the app? We have a video feed of your print. 00:13:49.520 --> 00:13:53.960 Hello myself over the internet. Okay. I guess. 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:58.173 Oh, balls. Yep. I broke it. I broke it. 00:13:59.060 --> 00:14:02.840 Start this one again. Print. - (Jono) Oh, cool. - And it starts. 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:06.583 Speed. Boom. Six times. Sure. Save. 00:14:10.930 --> 00:14:15.670 - 300 millimeters per second. That's to the point where you're going to run 00:14:15.670 --> 00:14:20.880 into extruder issues, unless you have things really dialed in, 00:14:20.880 --> 00:14:24.730 like just how fast you can move the plastic out and 00:14:24.730 --> 00:14:27.900 stop the plastic becomes a problem when you're going that fast. 00:14:27.900 --> 00:14:33.790 Now there are a lot of things that we don't know about this printer. The biggest big question mark is the slicer. 00:14:33.790 --> 00:14:38.510 AnkerMake are going to have their own slicer. And it's probably fine. 00:14:38.510 --> 00:14:43.730 It probably has a great profile for this printer but how good it actually is and how powerful it is, 00:14:43.730 --> 00:14:46.760 we don't know yet. A slicer is what takes your 3D model, 00:14:46.760 --> 00:14:53.390 Like say, we had a 3D model of this. It converts it into the 0.4 millimeter or whatever layers 00:14:53.390 --> 00:14:56.630 going all the way up and turns into the code that the machine runs 00:14:59.810 --> 00:15:04.450 - It doesn't make coffee unfortunately. You could definitely write G code to make you coffee. 00:15:04.450 --> 00:15:08.770 I don't know if you could do it in a slicer and the main test I want to do here, 00:15:08.770 --> 00:15:12.170 once it's done doing a it's auto leveling, is just try 00:15:12.170 --> 00:15:16.270 and screw with it a bit and see if it can ping Jono's 00:15:16.270 --> 00:15:20.300 phone when it screws up. Actually we try and screw with it. 00:15:20.300 --> 00:15:24.670 I'm gonna take a spire and just put it in here. Maybe it'll run it over. 00:15:24.670 --> 00:15:29.653 Ah, no, it's not good of the way. Darn. We'll just be unkind to it here. 00:15:30.905 --> 00:15:33.920 Oh, Stop. I'm trying to screw with you. 00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:38.583 Stop - Okay. Okay I, I know what we can do here. 00:15:40.450 --> 00:15:45.250 Stop working. - Oh, I could just clip it. 00:15:45.250 --> 00:15:49.920 I'm sorry Mr. Printer. Will it realize? 00:15:49.920 --> 00:15:53.163 Yeah, it seems like it still is printing. 00:15:54.083 --> 00:15:59.213 It's supposed to stop. I wonder if it stops if it detected in here. 00:16:04.640 --> 00:16:08.730 - Okay. That makes a lot more sense. - Yeah. It does make sense 00:16:08.730 --> 00:16:13.810 that they would have the filament detection over here. Cause then you would still have plenty of time to, 00:16:13.810 --> 00:16:18.210 you know, take it out, swap the spool put it back in and not have to worry about your print. 00:16:18.210 --> 00:16:21.780 Getting all screwed up overall though especially for the price. 00:16:21.780 --> 00:16:25.010 I'm quite impressed. Right now there's a Kickstarter on 00:16:25.010 --> 00:16:31.470 where this is 43% off. So that's $430. For that price I think it's a very easy buy 00:16:31.590 --> 00:16:36.090 at the usual price of $760 still very great. 00:16:36.090 --> 00:16:39.760 Like this was incredibly easy to set up. It seems to print well, 00:16:39.760 --> 00:16:43.100 it has lots of features that allow you to easily print 00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:47.910 from just your phone and stuff. I'm actually impressed. And thank you, AnkerMake for sponsoring this video 00:16:47.910 --> 00:16:52.510 and also for making a good product 'cause then it's not awkward that you sponsored it. 00:16:52.510 --> 00:16:56.200 We like honesty here. So hit like get subscribed and 00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.310 if you want more maker type videos, let us know. 00:17:00.310 --> 00:17:01.343 See you later. Bye.
