Bambu H2C - tidd.ly/3K3sSY9 (If you print with color, this is the way)
Bambu P2S - tidd.ly/3ISZkfq (Best value)
Bambu H2S - tidd.ly/4olSRbL (Most options for money)
Bambu H2D - tidd.ly/4q9RsHk (A dual color beast)
Bambu Filament Shown in Videos - tidd.ly/4hn6TYI
Rode Wireless ME mic (Saved me about 4+ hours/vid) - amzn.to/3vcMKAr
Mag clip (Super handy, but a little pricy) - amzn.to/3NBFvZe
When I started into 3D printing, I bought an absolute piece of junk printer, and it was both good and bad, I learned a lot about printers, but I also wasted a huge amount of time. Fast forward to today, and printers are so good that almost anyone can use one with very little experience, and they're still improving. They're pretty safe, they're quiet, and for the most part, they produce real parts that we can use. But how does a 3D printer compare to other machines, like a laser or a CNC machine? In this video, we explore that question by making similar parts on each machine and looking at what's really involved.
