    Damn Tim, from just messing around in his garage to being a legit engineer. Proud of you 😢
  • @Spinall01
    What a spectacular way to launch a Youtube channel. Congratulations
  • @my7hik
    Hell of a first upload. Well done!
  • Good job on ordering to a locker i was a amazon driver for 3 years i cannot tell you how much stuff gets stolen in your lobby i am proud of you good job not being lazy like everyone else who gets their package stolen because some low life picked it up off the lobby floor.
  • @IanBradbury
    Awesome video. Super professional and information dense. I can't wait to see what else you produce, videos and prints. Thank you.
  • @elreyquerabio
    I'm waiting for the next video. It'll be hard to maintain this amazing quality. I wish you success.
  • @smurph5885
    This is one of the best and most informative videos I've watch for a long time. Amazing work, looking forward to watching more,
  • Great Video! Very informative and I really appreciate your fine sense of humor. I did the conversion from P1P to P1S a few weeks ago and I preferred - after some serious consideration - the original Bambu enclosure set. It's expensive, though. But it comes with all the parts, including all the necessary fans and mounts. And it's not to underestimate how much material and energy (and therefore money) is needed for DIY-printing and building an enclosure. At the end, the original enclosure is not so much more expensive anymore. And Bambu can't blame you for not using it when it comes to defects. Nevertheless your enclosure is great (and brings much more vision on the process) and will surely work perfect. Especially the lights are nothing less than amazing.

    A wise old man said once: We shall watch your career with great interest.
  • @oscarmoxon102
    Jesus the energy behind these animations is excellent.
  • @Evo_Spec
    The animations and transitions are super clean. Look forward to seeing more videos!
  • @IcetuberBBX
    Probably the best first video i've ever seen. I would suggest tuning your audio a little bit but other than that, this was awesome. Hope to see more in the future! :)
  • @legacyofbob
    Love the style of the video. I've been 3D printing a long time and have to compliment you on the animations you created, as well as the excellent camera angles showing the detail of the work you're doing on the printer. The video and audio quality combined with the obvious editing effort that went into this make a great video. I can't believe you only have ~200 subscribers. Can't wait to see the next one!
  • Definitely keep going with that channel! Great explanation of the challenges one faces with nylon. Looking forward to future videos
  • @TommyHoughton
    Great video mate! Loved the animations and style you have. Upgrade videos are my favourite. Your printer looks great too! Cheers
  • @Schnabulation
    Your video got randomly flushed into my feed but your animations and story telling is top notch! Well done! I‘ll drop a sub for now…
  • @mguarin912
    💯 Dry Humor, Next Level Editing, Perfect Content. Subbed. Good luck w/ your channel….and thanks for this.
