Hey, nice to meet you, internet stranger! Welcome to, quite possibly, the trashiest CNC and 3D printing channel out there! On an eternal quest to find answers to the ever-present WHY? Only by doing things the way they really shouldn’t be done can we truly learn why they’re done the way they are in the first place.
I’m Benjamin, and my goal with this channel is to make high-quality, informative, and entertaining engineering videos to spread the joy of making and thinking outside the box to a new generation of makers. If you enjoy going down rabbit holes and having your brain pummeled by a barrage of ostensibly trivial design decisions, maybe give that subscribe button a click to join the ride!

Hey all, I know it's been a while again... The good news is, the new video is close to being done! And boy is it a long one... A 2-in-1 video, you might say ;)

Hey everyone, can y'all recommend me some small (~5-20K subs) 3D printing channels that do reviews and happen to be based in Europe? I had to cancel the review I was planning for this month on short notice and am looking for someone else willing to do it instead so I don't have to potentially send the product back to China.
Would be great if we could find someone!
In any case, please bear with me while I scramble to come up with a video that requires little planning to do instead :)

Hey folks! I know the last video has been a while - the one I've been working on since came with a whole bunch of setbacks - but it's finally all done! Just wanted to let y'all know I'll have it up very soon, just need to get green light from the sponsor, so it should be out the day after tomorrow or so!

Yaaaaayyy!!!
It's so sad, I missed the exact moment the counter went up, I had the live feed on the second monitor but got up to measure something...
Nevertheless big thanks everyone for being here!!

After your guy's suggestions on the last video I ordered a 908s for $5.90 to see if it works better for lead-free solder. I don't think it has active temperature control but I at least wanna see how well a hotter soldering iron might work before committing to something more fancy in the future :)

Hey y'all, I highly recommend you check out this recent video from an RC channel I used to follow regularly years ago! He has some quite interesting design approaches and this CNC soldering machine is just totally underrated!

Thanks to everyone who suggested drying the filament in the comments of my last video! I put it in the old oven I've modded for dehydrating things, and now it can actually be bent without shattering like spaghetti!

@bigclivedotcom recently made a video which just so happens to show exactly how those cheap unipolar stepper motors I'm using for my 3D printer are made:
