WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.440 I work at Creator Warehouse and when we heard about the Youthy Make printer, 00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:06.600 we knew we had to take a look at it. And even though it's a Kickstarter, 00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:08.560 let's take a look at what this could do. 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:15.660 Whoa, it's chunky. And what looks like the print bed that comes with it. 00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:20.520 And a nice little quick start guide. And a bed. 00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:25.080 Unlike FDM printers, UV printers will spray down an ink 00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:29.280 and then cure it almost instantly with a UV light. This one included. 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.520 This particular model can do a bunch of different colors 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.480 and print some depth and texture as well, which is part of why we're excited about it. 00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:39.760 Youthy has been talking about a wide variety of different materials 00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:43.740 that they're looking to unveil at one point or another. And I've seen some of the prints in person, 00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:47.440 but I'm definitely looking forward to playing around with it myself. 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:51.080 Great. Ah, there's another nice little surprise for us inside. 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.160 Well packed, if nothing else. Looks like. 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:05.840 We got a bunch of cables. Some UV glasses, power cable, 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.760 a couple of ceramic test print pieces, 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.960 and a charcoal filter, which as it is UV ink is pretty important 00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:19.440 because the BOCs can be a little bit nasty. Youthy make claims that with this charcoal filter 00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:22.560 and the setup that they have, this should be safe for indoors. 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.120 We'll take a little bit of a dive into whether or not I can smell any of the UV inks, 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.160 but as far as I've been able to see in the past, 00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:33.360 seems like they do a pretty good job, at least when things are closed up. 00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:38.760 So we have our quick start guide, which appears to be attached to a print surface. 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.920 And this I believe is a tack mat for sticking your parts down to 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.660 to put them into the printer. So we also have a smaller tack mat 00:01:45.660 --> 00:01:49.800 for the integrated smaller bed where you can run it fully closed up. 00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:53.880 And then this would be for printing some of your, printing on some of your bigger pieces 00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:58.240 that you'd have to run with the doors open. So it ships with the smaller bed in place, 00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:02.240 just a little lever, take it off for when you can do really small things. 00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:06.880 There are several other attachments as well, some for doing direct to a film, 00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:10.480 as well as a rotary attachment for printing onto bottles 00:02:10.480 --> 00:02:13.580 or other round objects. This is the ink that you're actually using, 00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:16.600 as well as a cleaning cartridge kit that fits into it 00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:21.000 to make sure that things don't get clogged up when you aren't using it or just through general use. 00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:27.860 These are individual cartridges that'll slide into the unit here. 00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:32.220 And these are replaceable. I believe they're looking at having larger tanks 00:02:32.220 --> 00:02:36.660 for at least some of them, just to make swapping out less frequent. 00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:41.860 But that's still in the works. There's three white cartridges, a gloss cartridge. 00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:45.580 The white is for doing backgrounds, if you need to make sure that something pops, 00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:49.020 if you're printing on something transparent or with a different colored backer. 00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:52.860 And the gloss gives a more shiny reflection on the final printed part. 00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:57.900 I've seen mixed feedback on the gloss itself as far as I've seen the ink is fairly reflective, 00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:02.620 but depending on what you're trying to do, could work out pretty well. And this is your cleaning kit, 00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:06.420 which also stores used resin. We have another box to open up. 00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:08.540 Guess this is gonna be your CMYKs. 00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:12.900 Ah, there we go. Ah, it's more like the colors I was expecting. 00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:17.900 There's your CMYK with a cleaning, a white, and a gloss. 00:03:19.820 --> 00:03:23.660 I'm guessing this is a replacement kit then. Now these are our other main boxes. 00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:28.900 Take a look through the quick start guide. There's a nice little foam piece to take off here. 00:03:28.900 --> 00:03:32.060 Alrighty, that holds the printhead in place. 00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:38.540 All right, now that the packing foam for shipping is taken out, oh, there's a nice little sticker too. 00:03:38.540 --> 00:03:39.740 Oh, I left a shmoo. 00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:46.940 All right, next step is plug it in. From what I've seen online, 00:03:46.940 --> 00:03:51.300 the power up for this does take a bit, which isn't super surprising. 00:03:51.300 --> 00:03:54.900 And also the power down takes quite a while, just to make sure that everything's clean 00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:58.420 and running properly. Power ports on my side. 00:04:00.260 --> 00:04:01.100 Is that you? 00:04:04.100 --> 00:04:08.540 That was the noise I was actually waiting for. All right, so now it appears to be on. 00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:14.860 All right, now that it sounds like all the configuration and startup is done, 00:04:15.980 --> 00:04:20.100 let's get the print in-commodules installed. 00:04:20.100 --> 00:04:23.460 They do have convenient markings on all of them, so putting them in the right place 00:04:23.460 --> 00:04:28.260 should be pretty straightforward. I do enjoy the smell of UV ink in the morning. 00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:38.340 Next up is the cleaning solution. So that should be under this cartridge here. 00:04:38.340 --> 00:04:42.020 There are three protective caps. Take those out. 00:04:42.020 --> 00:04:45.900 Now that I'm installing this section, it does say to wear gloves for all of it. 00:04:45.900 --> 00:04:50.220 As I said before, most of the inks and stuff in here are not terribly good for you. 00:04:50.260 --> 00:04:55.260 So this has three little protective covers on it, 00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:58.300 and we just insert it in. 00:04:59.660 --> 00:05:00.500 Nice. 00:05:02.660 --> 00:05:04.860 It has informed me that I have done the thing. 00:05:06.820 --> 00:05:09.780 And then we have the filter to install. 00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:11.860 Yes, there we go. 00:05:14.900 --> 00:05:19.860 All right, it's a pretty tight fit, as I'd hope. Otherwise, it's not gonna do a ton of filtering. 00:05:19.860 --> 00:05:24.900 Get this front cover back on, close this up, and then we are moving over to the app. 00:05:28.140 --> 00:05:32.500 Reminds you every time something's installed. We got the app downloaded. 00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:37.300 This does require a phone app to be set up. I was planning on trying to just do it on a desktop app, 00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:41.380 but that apparently isn't possible. The initial setup was a little bit of a hassle. 00:05:41.380 --> 00:05:45.340 Whether that's our network issues or an issue with the device is hard to say, 00:05:45.340 --> 00:05:48.460 but we did have a bit of headaches with having to take out and reconnect 00:05:48.460 --> 00:05:53.460 some of the cartridges, but after we got it set up and connected to Ethernet here, 00:05:53.460 --> 00:05:57.300 it wasn't too bad to get the rest of it set up. And now we're into the initialization. 00:05:57.300 --> 00:06:03.460 25 minute total time for initialization, let's go. This will take 20 minutes, so we'll see you in a bit. 00:06:03.460 --> 00:06:08.580 Roughly 20 minutes later, the ink is now injected, and it's taking us through the rest of the installation steps. 00:06:08.580 --> 00:06:13.500 So we have to make sure that the flatbed and upper white film are installed. 00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:18.260 That would be this piece here. Pop this open. 00:06:18.260 --> 00:06:21.340 Take this off. Take off the protective film. 00:06:21.340 --> 00:06:27.300 Ooh, satisfying. And slap that down. Nice little press, and let's install this back in. 00:06:28.300 --> 00:06:31.140 Check status, takes about 60 seconds. 00:06:32.540 --> 00:06:38.980 Setting up any printer like this is generally not a quick endeavor, so this isn't anything that I wouldn't necessarily expect. 00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:43.420 Now it's doing a test print. It says it'll take about two minutes and two not interrupt this process. 00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:48.180 As far as I can tell, I believe it's just doing a test layout to make sure none of the nozzles are clogged 00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:51.460 and everything's functioning as expected. We'll take it out, take a look at it, 00:06:51.460 --> 00:06:54.500 and then we can actually get to the real prints. Print looks done. 00:06:54.500 --> 00:06:57.740 Let's open it up and take a little look. On the screen, it gives you examples 00:06:57.740 --> 00:07:02.500 of what good successful prints are and what cleaning required results are. 00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:06.820 Based off what I can see here, it looks like all of the nozzles look good. 00:07:06.820 --> 00:07:10.820 It is now calibrating the camera, which will take a further 10 minutes. 00:07:10.820 --> 00:07:12.500 So I'll see you in about 10 minutes. 00:07:14.020 --> 00:07:18.020 Initialization's ready to go. After a little bit of a mistake on my part, 00:07:18.020 --> 00:07:21.340 let's get this paper off and we can start printing. 00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:24.340 There's the calibration for the printer for the camera. 00:07:24.340 --> 00:07:28.780 Pop this off and see where I accidentally took the paper off the first time. 00:07:28.780 --> 00:07:32.900 Pro tip, leave it on until it tells you to take it off. 00:07:32.900 --> 00:07:38.380 Learning from my mistakes. Taking a look through the app, it takes you through your first textured 3D print. 00:07:38.380 --> 00:07:42.640 So I have chosen a nice little dragon. Plop the mag down, 00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:49.880 give it a little jidge, close it up. Snapshot takes about one to three minutes. 00:07:49.880 --> 00:07:54.700 Please do not move the print bed or the material. Also do not close this page or the lock screen. 00:07:54.700 --> 00:08:00.020 They really like to remind you to not let your phone go to sleep. It's like it's scanning the object that's placed down. 00:08:00.020 --> 00:08:03.020 I saw some laser lines on it. 00:08:03.020 --> 00:08:07.820 And now I think it's doing the optical camera alignment. 00:08:07.820 --> 00:08:12.140 So that's nice and aligned and I'll just hit start. 00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:19.300 And it's going. Looks like we're about 50% of the way done now. 00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:23.700 And I'm starting to see the colorations come through. It's looking pretty awesome. 00:08:23.700 --> 00:08:28.460 It's a bit difficult to capture because of the super reflective covers on it. 00:08:28.460 --> 00:08:32.300 And since it is a UV light, we do want to keep it closed up at least for now, 00:08:32.300 --> 00:08:37.540 but I'm looking forward to seeing this done. Print just finished up, 13 minutes on the timer. 00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:42.140 That sounds about right. Let's take a little look. 00:08:42.140 --> 00:08:48.580 Oh, that's really on there. Oh, that is a gorgeous fricking print. 00:08:48.580 --> 00:08:51.720 And there's a fair bit of texture to it too. 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:56.180 One thing that I noticed pretty quickly, I did not align it perfectly. 00:08:56.180 --> 00:09:00.100 You can see some of the bleed off on the edge on the print bed. 00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:03.500 So with that misalignment, there was some that printed onto the bed. 00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:06.780 This is a consumable piece, this cover. 00:09:06.780 --> 00:09:09.820 So this can come off. We don't know what the pricing of this is, 00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:13.340 but as far as I've heard, it's supposed to be relatively cost effective. 00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:17.620 And if I had aligned this a little bit better on this particular piece, it wouldn't have been an issue. 00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:21.220 That said, this print turned out ridiculously good. 00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:24.560 For 13 minutes, this is super cool. 00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:28.700 And it is dry to the touch, completely fine. It's a little bit tacky, 00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:32.460 but I think that's just the nature of the finished material 00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:35.980 and nothing that I wouldn't expect. You can see some of the layer lines on it too. 00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:39.460 Now that I've gotten this first print done, I'm gonna take this back to CW, 00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:44.340 run through a bunch more test prints, and then we'll have some more stuff to show you right now. 00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:48.980 Back at it, now we have a bunch of prints to look at. I did a wide variety of different materials, 00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:52.500 different shapes, different sizes, even busted out the rotary axis, 00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:56.900 which I was quite impressed with. It worked really well and the setup was simple. 00:09:56.900 --> 00:10:01.860 We'll do a quick little look at that. Also, even printed a screwdriver on a screwdriver 00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:05.980 because, you know, that's fun. Print sizes and print times very wildly 00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:09.380 depending on what you're gonna do. Anything from something like this, 00:10:09.420 --> 00:10:15.700 which takes about an hour and a half, down to a flat small piece that takes three minutes. 00:10:15.700 --> 00:10:20.340 And the cost and amount of ink consumed will also vary wildly depending on if you're doing 00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:23.940 large areas, small areas, and texture. 00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:28.900 Texture definitely consumes quite a bit, but the biggest print that we did in the most consumption 00:10:28.900 --> 00:10:32.660 was this, which is a flat piece, but it's just a very large area. 00:10:32.660 --> 00:10:37.260 So your mileage will vary quite a bit depending on exactly what you're trying to do. 00:10:37.260 --> 00:10:43.380 But as far as I've seen, it's extremely capable in essentially every area that I've tried to use it. 00:10:43.380 --> 00:10:47.780 Definitely looking forward to showing these prints and parts to the other Creative Warehouse team members 00:10:47.780 --> 00:10:51.460 to start ideating what we can use it for our workflows. 00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:56.060 Looking a little more closely at some of the prints, the phone case with our trust me bro guarantee sticker 00:10:56.060 --> 00:11:00.860 came out really well. When I set this to high detail, the granularity was definitely a lot better. 00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:05.500 I noticed on some of the other prints there was a bit of graininess on some of them, 00:11:05.620 --> 00:11:09.380 but this one came out super well. If you want to add textures to your parts, 00:11:09.380 --> 00:11:14.540 you can either import your own or you can use their built-in machine learning or AI tool 00:11:14.540 --> 00:11:18.340 to generate a texture map, which uses some of their tokens 00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:21.420 that you get a certain amount of every month. 00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:24.820 I used their AI generator for this Linus face 00:11:24.820 --> 00:11:30.740 and I was impressed with how well and how much detail it was able to get on his face, 00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:35.220 both within like his mouth being sunk in and his hair texturing really coming out. 00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:40.180 One instance of the texture not working quite as well as you might hope is with transparent objects 00:11:40.180 --> 00:11:44.140 and for some metallics. So this transparent screwdriver that I did, 00:11:44.140 --> 00:11:48.380 it definitely didn't capture the depths correctly, which I don't blame it. 00:11:48.380 --> 00:11:52.740 Capturing transparent and metallic objects in general is quite difficult for systems like this 00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:56.820 and this would be a good application for me able to import your own texture map 00:11:56.820 --> 00:12:00.420 would work quite well, but it still made it look really nice. 00:12:00.420 --> 00:12:03.820 So I printed these on the sticker paper. Let's see how well it peels off. 00:12:03.820 --> 00:12:07.180 Also, I may not have done this perfectly correctly, to be fair. 00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:13.340 It actually came off, came off pretty well, a little bit of extra material, 00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:18.780 but I imagine that's fairly easy to get off. I'm sure that this could be done better than I did it. 00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:25.260 All right, that was pretty easy. Overall, I'm very impressed with the usability, 00:12:25.260 --> 00:12:28.400 how simple and how just plug and play this printer is. 00:12:29.300 --> 00:12:33.780 It is still a Kickstarter slash pre-order, so be careful. 00:12:33.780 --> 00:12:38.740 If you do decide to pre-order, the printer itself is about $2,500 US, 00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:42.660 and you can get multiple add-ons that could bring it up to 3,800. 00:12:42.660 --> 00:12:45.740 Each ink cartridge is 43 US per, 00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:51.580 and if you get the bundle pack with all of the ink cartridges and the cleaning pack, it's about 300 USD. 00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:55.900 I'm really excited to see what we can make use of this in our workflows. 00:12:55.900 --> 00:12:59.220 And I look forward to seeing how well Yuffie supports it. 00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:03.060 And I look forward to you like commenting and subscribing to ShortCircuit. 00:13:03.060 --> 00:13:07.100 If you like this video, check out one of the other 3D printers that I unboxed. 00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:08.420 And have a great day.
