Every 3D Printer needs a perfectly leveled bed. Either you can level it manually, or... you can automate the process using a bed level probe! In this video I look at the 3DTouch v3 probe by Geeetech. We over how automatic bed leveling works, and showcase the 3DTouch probe.

![This Tiny Machine Polishes Metal Like Magic! (VEVOR Magnetic Pin Tumbler Review)
*** Save 8% using the code VTOPUS at checkout: https://s.vevor.com/bfRVsg ***
Looking for an easier way to polish jewelry, coins, or small metal parts? In this video, I review the VEVOR KT-185 Magnetic Pin Tumbler โ a compact, affordable jewelry polisher that uses powerful magnetic action and stainless steel pins to clean, deburr, and shine metal surfaces automatically. I test it on custom brass coins and show how it performs over different polishing times, from 10 minutes to 2 hours. Weโll cover setup, cleaning, noise level, and final results so you can see if this magnetic tumbler is right for your workshop. Watch to the end for my honest opinion after a month of use!
