My HONEST Annual Report Card for Each 3D Printer Brand
In this video, I share my 3D Printing wishlist for each major brand - including Prusa and Bambu Lab. Brought to you by PCBWay. Don’t miss their Christmas Big Sale from Nov. 28 to Dec. 31 — save up to 50% off: https://jle.vi/pcbway Over the last few years, 3D printers have gotten really good… but let’s be honest — there’s still plenty of room for improvement. 👀 So in this video, I’m breaking down my annual 3D printer report card: what’s working, what’s not, and the features I (and probably you, too) desperately want to see in the next generation of machines. Just a note: This list is heavily influenced by which printers I have access to. I don't have a Bambu Lab H2d or even a Bambu Lab H2C, for example, but I do have a Prusa Core One and Prusa Core One L, so, naturally, I have more constructive feedback for Prusa than I do for Bambu Lab. And none of this will be a comprehensive review of any one printer or brand. But if you're in the market for the best 3d printer for you, I hope this video will provide some valuable insights into what each brand does well and what they still need to work on... 🍿 Oh, and Grab your popcorn, because I’m not holding back 🤫 🤫 Get my custom filament and printer profiles, buyers guides, and much, much more on Patreon: / thenextlayer 💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord 🎥 IN THIS VIDEO: 🎥 00:00 Introduction 00:37 OpenPrintTag 01:23 OrcaSlicer 03:00 Prusa Research 05:59 Sovol 08:56 Elegoo 10:51 Anycubic 12:36 Creality 14:43 Snapmaker 16:18 Bambu Lab 19:24 Conclusion 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: 🔗 👉 OpenPrintTag: https://openprinttag.org/ 👉 My previous video where I shared my 7 major gripes with 3D printing manufacturers: • Dear 3D Printer Manufacturers: Just Stop I... 👉 My previous video where I shared my open letter to Prusa Research: • Dear Prusa Research...
