and we are live Let’s give this just a couple of minutes to see uh if some people join us and then we’ll have a look at what I’ve got myself into Hello air addicted Let’s just give this a couple more minutes Uh see if uh we have some people joining us and we’ll see if I’m capable of assembling a 3D printer and uh not making a right mess of it Basically I’ve held off of buying for one of these for a number of years uh because I know nothing about them And as far as that is concerned nothing has changed I still know nothing about 3D printers So I’m both excited and nervous Michelle Rochettelli hello I am addicted If you can assemble planes like the ones behind you you can definitely assemble 3D printer Thanks for that Uh I hope you’re right And Philip is saying just don’t end up printing yourself when you’re putting that thing together Okay no promises there mate Anyway let’s uh get going I guess No more excuses So uh this is the uh Neptune 4 Plus from Ellie Goo We’ve got some uh plastic to print This is PLA Now I think there’s all kinds of different references and numbers and names for this stuff So I’m going to have to learn all that as well But um basically I’ve got two rolls of PLA So first thing I’m going to be printing is definitely PLA Leo So let’s open the box get this off the table see what comes included in the box and I guess we’ll just take it from there and wing it So I got a very big box which according to the transport agency is 16 17 kilos So it’s a big heavy box One thing I did like about this 3D printer was that seemingly it’s quite big So you can do quite big prints which is always a bit of a put off with a lot of the printers out there See if I can get some of this foam out Show you guys how it comes in the box Now I haven’t looked in here before I’ve just opened the box for the first time off camera so bear with us There’s nothing beneath that Okay So first quick look This is what comes in the box Hopefully not going to drop it It looks well it looks quite one piece to be fair So that’s promising We might actually be able to do this on the live stream and not have to finish because we run out of battery in the camera So loads of small little pieces in the middle What do we do get the small bits out first Is that a glue stick i haven’t used one of those since I was in school Talk about a learning curve Uh fans I think power lead thankfully with a Spanish plug on it Small accessories which seem to include a thumb drive so a USB and uh some more wires and screws It even comes with tools which is nice I had prepared my own tools but uh hang on We’ve gone all blurry Hello Wake up Come on We can’t do this blurry Let’s just see Hang on Might be because of the box There we go Much better So uh hang on There’s no not elegant way of doing this is there so we’re just going to pull it out best we can Put that somewhere Try not to drop it or break it before we start So that’s obviously the tower Get rid of the foam pad It comes with a nice touch I’m guessing touchscreen We’ll find out in a moment We’ve got what seems to be the 3D printer head Comes wrapped up as well for protection [Music] Um should have probably done the unboxing part of this before going live but hey ho One thing’s for sure there’s a lot of foam padding in here and it comes nice and secure So it it should be okay It should arrive in one piece Okay this is the heavy bit Um don’t drop [Music] it Okay I may not be talking what throughout all that process cuz that I’m running out of space quick and we haven’t started yet Philillip saying "Are we going to build an airplane like Ramy RC?" Uh sure why not just maybe not quite to that scale I don’t think it would fit in the entire workshop the latest one that he just did the trip 7 Anyone who hasn’t seen that make sure to go check out Ramy RC Amazing uh modeler builder and inventor I guess really as well Yeah Okay So uh we have one big the base which comes by the look of it already preassembled Got some foam pads under it there That now slides You can see that Yeah Um manual Let’s start with the manual This is probably the first time in one of these videos where I’m going to have a look at the manual Normally all my videos tend to be we don’t need that But there again those are for building airplanes when I know what I’m doing Thank you for choosing Yes we want how to Where’s the assembly machine setup and installation So we’re starting off with this bit over here seemingly Uh this could be a really long video I have no idea what I’m doing Should be entertaining though Okay So we put the screen over there We don’t want to destroy the screen before we start do we so from the rear we attach the the printer head assembly Okay So this is the bit that goes on top of the 3D printer Something like that This part is obviously the bit that goes up and down And this bit goes side to side for the printing So that’s what we need to attach our 3D printer nozzle onto Something like that So it’s telling me what screws we need which is handy We just need to find some screws which should be somewhere in here What have we got we’ve got a internet cable some cable ties something that they’re calling a detector switch which I’m sure we’ll find out what that is later on Uh a giveaway Always nice to have a giveaway Not quite sure what that is I’m It looks like a USB thumb drive even though there’s already one of those in here It comes with a roll of rapid PLA which I’m guessing is faster than standard PLA We’ve got uh Earth saying that you want to see a 3D printed slick Well can’t we just use that one it’s already done Save a load of printing time Hello Lucas Okay So printer head So I’m guessing this is basically the the bit that’s at some point is probably going to get uh jammed and it’s going to be a load of fun getting that melted plastic out of there So that’s why I’m following instructions cuz I don’t want that to happen Uh we have what looks to be a needle possibly for that very reason Uh a load of different screws bolts a small antenna So I’m guessing this thing must have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or some sort of uh connection Comes with our little set of tools So everything that we need to assemble basically in the box and what looks like a second printing nozzle amongst the uh USB thumb drive So we’ll put all that over there Try not to lose any of it And we are looking for our first screws which are Do you want to know the sizes or I just look for them uh 3×8 Got cable clamps Cable [Music] clamps Okay So PN3 by8 which doesn’t coincide is it does 3×8 and 3×4 So the first thing we need is in the first little bag which is handy We’ll move that just over there for now And we need to just [Music] screw that on Now so from the look of this this has slots for three holes Uh this slots in from the back And I’m just seeing more screws than than holes is all Not much there at the top They could definitely done with making the pictures a little bit bigger seeen as that’s showing you where all the screws are supposed to go But that fits over the top of there like that the two small screws Let’s use my own screwdrivers The two small screws must fit in there cuz the only two short ones and the long ones would be going straight through into the beam And as this does still have to move that wouldn’t be good So they logically go on there relatively tight I guess as we don’t want this moving about otherwise our print quality wouldn’t be very good and then if we flip that over you see that moving across we have three more screws which go in from the back if you don’t drop them that Okay So it’s a good start We we could do with bigger pictures but other than that first step as soon as we put in this third screw we’ll be done Don’t drop it Don’t get nervous You’re only live on YouTube So what we got we’ve got Alex I make 3D printed parts for high-end scale gliders and 3D robotic planes using that exact printer So just hit me up Thanks Alex I’m not going to promise that I won’t as I probably will need some help Hang on We got a call coming through which isn’t particularly helpful for a video They’ve got Neil Mason Hi Martin Welcome to 3D printing just what you need when it’s thunder and lightning and heavy rain outside which is exactly what we have right now I’ve been trying to do this video for the last couple of weeks but uh everything seems to get in the way And today no more excuses because the weather was horrible outside And I’ve just realized I forgot to attach this part So off come those two screws It was going so easy wasn’t it anyway doesn’t seem to be a biggie Just need to get rid of those two screws Pull them out Little bit fiddly because of where everything is around it But we’ve done worse At least unlike an airplane you can reach everything pretty much without having to get elbow deep in a fuselage Okay step one done Now then step number two Uh what’s this uh we are Oh we’re already attaching this to the main part of the 3D printer the base So we need get rid of that bag cuz that one’s now empty Next bag should be 5 by 45 5 by 45 Four pieces which is that one And as the picture is telling us we just need to basically screw it up from the bottom of our main base Now then our main base which way is up and which way is down any suggestions welcome Uh let’s see there seems to be a knob here which coincides with the picture and it obviously has to fit on there So that’s if we do it that way We put that on and we want the 3D printer facing us So then the nozzle facing us I think I could do with more hands Okay So that fits on there Something like that Should probably have opened the bag before starting It’s all going swimmingly until I drop something like that You got to love live YouTube Okay if we can get one through that will at least mean that we’re not going to drop anything or not drop it too badly at least Okay so that’s the first one in its location That one looks pretty good for the bottom Okay I think we’re swimming now then That’s going to be bigger than that What size is that one keep it Don’t that one So this is 4 mil And we’ll just screw that into there Something like that Well we can now see roughly how much space this thing is going to take up on a worktop or bench or table I mean it’s a decent size but we did want a decent size printer as otherwise you can only print small things which obviously depending on what you what you’re planning on printing may not be ideal Hang on bear with me I can’t get one of the screws in Is it Is it lined up no that’s why Okay for this part It probably would help if you had a second pair of hands helping you That’s going now That should hopefully be the hardest part of this as everything else is going to be much smaller much lighter and easier to install What we got we got DGAS saying "Martin you should have gotten a bamboo appliance turnkey grade printers." cuz I have two after saying for years that I wouldn’t buy another printer Actually another good period Definitely hard way to go Well I’m sure there are a load of awesome printers out there And if this is like any of my other hobbies just like you it probably won’t be my only 3D printer But we’ve all got to start somewhere This one seems to have good reviews It’s a decent size It seems quite quick at least on paper So we’ll give it a go and see how she goes See if we can just finish putting these screws in There we go Okay another bag done We now have something that looks like an actual 3D printer which is no longer almost fitting in in the YouTube screen Okay so next step is a support for what looks like the screen So we’ve got this little support that fits onto the side of here somewhere Something like that which we’ll then use to slot or magnets Everything’s better with magnets Okay So that’s just going to be three screws Uh 4x 20 4x 20 Where are 4×20 screws 4×20 screws three pieces This is like assembling a helicopter Loads of little bags each with the name on them Use one bag per step and you can’t go wrong So uh where are we two and a half Whereabouts are the holes it’s quite inclined Try not to put it in cross thread We don’t want that We got Ray RC stuff saying I got bamboo worked within 10 minutes of opening the box Well I have no idea how long it would take me to assemble this one if it wasn’t for the YouTube channel but I’m sure we’ve been here for more than 10 minutes already But to be fair it has been easy and it has only been a few screws and it does very much look like a 3D printer at the moment said the guy who knows nothing about them at least I’m quite sure you could probably not put this on if you wanted to put it up against the wall as maybe my case depending on where here in the workshop it ends up going But for now we’ll leave that on there And then this with the wire downwards just slots on there like that comes with a typical telephone wire which connects into the front And then we also have instructions here to install our little antenna which we showed a moment ago which should just fit onto the end here It’s going to be one of those fun ones where it’s easy to go all the way around There we go I’m surprised it has an antenna and a screen but we’ll find out why later on Should we give that a little tighten i guess so There we go We now have some degree of a wireless connection at least Okay we now have to put on the support for our well in this case so far PLA roll So this just slots on the top which is definitely not going to fit in screen Um how can we do this does it screw in from the top or from the bottom from the top by the looks of it So if we don’t do [Music] that more or less that’ll give you a little bit of a view at least So uh this isn’t going to work because that fits on facing backwards a little bit And they’re also there we go They’re wedged over to one side So there’s you can obviously move this across one way or the other So it’s got some some sliding nuts on the inside of that and depending on where you want it you can move them across attach that to it and then the whole thing will slide as required When installing the cable clamp you will need to first organize the cables and bunch them together before fully securing the clamp Be sure to leave enough slack for the hot end to travel freely to each side and up and down Okay so that’s the next step So [Music] um see we’re already finding uses for our PLA albeit not for printing not yet And this uses what does this use 4×8 4×8 We get our next little baggie for 4×8 Two screws Hopefully not drop either of them And then they just go into those little sliding nuts that we had a moment ago So that’s number one Won’t tighten that up yet until we find the second one No looks like I already have overtightened it a little bit There we go A little bit less Come on That should be around about there So the whole thing can slide one way or the other Um the picture shows it in the middle So for now we’re just going to clamp that down smack bang in the middle And we can always move it later on if necessary We also have this uh toilet roll holder which is obviously going to be for holding our roll in place Um it looks like it fits on one way or the other or not just for one way And then we’ll have to screw that on or off once we’ve put on our roll of filament Uh what else have we got we’ve got a picture here of the wires that go to the printer nozzle which they’ve already connected So that just uh connects in Oh hang on There’s actually quite a few different little things here We’ve got the filament sensor as well which I’m guessing is the detector switch that uh we found earlier It looks more or less like the picture here in the manual It’s H Let’s see if we can just There we go Who else have we got here [Music] okay So this is obviously a sensor So we’re going to have to run our uh filament through that And basically if it run if we run out of filament this is going to detect it And I’m guessing it’s either going to stop or pause the printing so that we don’t end up at a guess overheating this thing due to not having any plastic in it or continue printing ghost 3D printing without any plastic involved Uh so that’s got its little own screw and that attaches to the side of our support So that fits now Which way does it matter which way we go doesn’t look like it We’ve got We’ve got an arrow going both up and down So it seems like we can install it whichever way suits us best And this just screws onto the side here Now the whole thing is surprisingly loose Give that a little quick tighten up or Okay I’m guessing that just sort of Okay it it’s going to have to waggle a little bit because as this thing moves over to one side or the other and it starts pulling that’s why it looks so loose right now Makes sense I guess See it’s We’re learning We’re learning as we go uh clamping the wires Okay So let’s get this thing straightened up Uh I’m not sure Can we go a little bit further out with the zoom yes just a little bit So we can actually now see all of the 3D printer Let’s twist it this way And this is showing basically this long [Applause] wire Uh where does this all go so it goes up to where the motor is on this side And at the very top there we have clamp installation Clamp cable cable clamp Uh what do you think guys think is that going to be it or okay so this wire seemingly uh Okay So we’ve got two small wires No sorry One small wire with a a white label which obviously goes into this motor here the stepper motor And we have some more wires down down here next to this up next to the motor which very much looks like they’ll have to get connected up into there as well So we may as well do that now Got they’re all different sizes so I’m guessing that you can’t put them in the wrong way around It all seems very sensible Then one wire which connects everything all up to everything else like that We got the same at this side to connect up our motor on this side And then let’s see what more have we got We’ve got one wire Okay Uh if we pull this down a little bit like that hopefully you’ll be able to see Uh we’ve got one wire as well that’s going to connect up into our sensor here So that connects into there like that for our sensor to know if we’ve run out of uh spool This one I’m not too sure where this one goes but we’ll find out It’s got to be up here somewhere Um now the big the big connector fits onto the 3D printer head which has some clips on it for security Okay Now other way around It doesn’t allow you to put it in back to front which is good Okay So that’s clamped in Now I’m just surprised for one wire this wire I’m not too sure where this one’s going And I’m guessing it’s not going to work without it at least Um this wire is supposed to go into the support at the back of the of the printer So we’ll slot that in there Force that through It’s definitely not going to come out but it’s hard to go in in the first place Um how does the other one work though we have I’m still not sure about that cuz what else is missing that isn’t connected we’ve got stepper motor at the top stepper motor at the bottom stepper motor over here We’ve got our 3D printing and we still have one lead left Anyway we’ll we’ll figure that out when we get to it Uh what else have we got uh cable clamping So this goes on the part that goes up and down So this whole top beam does this rather unusual looking little clamp which just helps to keep uh everything in place like that But how how uh when installing the cable clamp you will need to first organize the cables and bunch them together before securing the clamp Be sure to leave enough slack for the hot end to travel freely to each side and up and down So the hot end needs to be able to go all the way to the other side like that Uh okay So this needs to be on the inside So we’ve already made one mistake I don’t like this whole um not knowing how things work It’s a whole new world of which I know nothing We’ll have to change that I guess Okay So that fits in through the inside See so it’s it’s not banging up against everything here So we’ll put that back in there where it was Clamp that in place Slot the wire into the support as well into the clamp Wasn’t easy the first time and it wasn’t easy the second time but okay that can now slot in there like that Okay so this needs to be able to go all the way over to one side and basically do that freely This clamp fits over the The wire could do it being a bit bigger The clamp really cuz the clamp only takes up about 2/3 of this thick ribbon So it needs to fold in on itself a little bit Um yes Talk amongst yourselves while I figure this out this one out Anyway so that fits onto there That’s held in place with a screw And this just slots something over the wire Fold the wire in on itself And then that screws down holding everything in place hopefully so that the printer doesn’t catch on anything and can move freely everywhere it needs to So we’ve got a little bit of play upwards and we’ve got a little bit of play at the top so everything can move freely and easily Can’t make it go up and down because that needs the motors turning But obviously if it’s all all the way at the top which it is that’s as taut as it’ll go And when it comes down that will just have more slack in it Neil Mason Madam does the main cable need to be under the bar so that the top tool head can lower yes thank you Uh I wish I’d have read that whilst I was doing it rather than after I’d already made a mess of it but good shout there mate Okay So next up we have the uh supports which will prevent this from wobbling I mean it’s already quite sturdy Uh but with these it’ll be even sturdier Is that a word sturdier Yes Plastic wrap Plastic wrap Everything Heat shrink Try not to scratch the paint At least not yet That’ll come with time I’m sure Going to have to break all the way through this Okay so number one and number two So these have got sort of ball links on them And these fit Where do they fit we need our 4×8 4×8 screws We’ve used that Uh we’re starting to run out of screws now So 4×8 and 4x20s two and two So at the top we use the short ones and at the bottom we use the long ones [Music] And then the washers go at the bottom Okay So at the top this goes they go backwards or forwards They go backwards Okay So short little screw at the top Leave that loose until it’s fully in place And then at the bottom uh we have a screw going in here which fits in with the washer the washers to prevent the sort of ball link from burying itself into the aluminum So now they’re both in there We can tighten one side tighten the other That’s really definitely not going anywhere Now we just need to do the same at the other side I flip that round Once again we’ve got a small one going in at the top Time to put it in cross thread There we go Number one Just like before a long screw washer and then into the side there It’s definitely a beast Just need to learn how to design 3D stuff now Okay Uh next step And these are the last two pages or last two images on the last page of the manual So it looks like we are getting very close to be able to 3D print stuff So next we have our fan module Interesting as it doesn’t seem to have much of an air gap but it’s got uh two or seems to have at least two motors in there two fans Not too sure where the air comes out of And other than than this small gap here if that’s where it comes out of but uh anyway it has a onoff switch there And that’s right We found what that missing uh what this was for That’s obviously going to fit into our fans So we’re no longer one wire too many So this fits on How does this fit on this fits on the back of the 3D printer head with the fans facing outwards and the triangle sort of shape pointing upwards So uh let’s see Hopefully you can actually see something of what I’m doing in all this So 3D printer head over there And this fits on with three 4×50 bolts which is the last of the bolts in the kit It’s always nice when you have the right amount of nuts and bolts and bags And unlike IKEA you don’t have any left over at the end which make you doubt whether you’ve missed something So that’s too big That’s going to be that one Then that just bolts on to the bar So this is going to move up and down with everything else I’ll have to look into the manual though to find out what the onoff switch is for because I would imagine that it would either benefit always or never as opposed to maybe for certain prints they need a different temperature I don’t know We’ll find out as we go [Applause] tighten this up a little bit This one doesn’t need to be super tight I imagine Although we will have to check up on it every now and again as after all just like everything anything that moves that can vibrate can loosen bolts So we’ll make sure that uh that isn’t the case Uh so that’s that screwed on And then the last step which we’ve accidentally kind of already done which was connecting all the wires for the stepper motors So all that we’re missing now is the one that we weren’t too sure what it was for which is the one for the fans That fits into there like that And we’re basically done We have one final thing We have a switch on the side On the side Yes On the side which is to regulate whether we’re going to be using 220 volt or 110 So either sort of European or generalized in most places or American 110 volts So very important there I’m guessing that if you’re running 110 and it’s set to 220 it simply won’t work Whereas if you have it set to 110 and you plug it into 220 like we have here then something may make a noise and not work too well It actually says on the side here as well 115 to 230 selected by a switch Check the input voltage before use So 220 as we can see on the diagram here Not you probably can’t read that but there’s a little hole there which has a switch on the inside which we can move one way for 220 We put it the other way it’s 115 But as here we have 220 It’s biting us It wants to be 110 but we’ll flip it over to 230 And with that we have what looks like a ready to go 3D printer Now all I have to do is actually design learn how to design stuff for it and actually start uh printing stuff We can have a look at what it’s going to look like though We’ll install the roll of PLA Uh let’s see This is going to sound really stupid for any of you guys out there that already know how to uh 3D print but does it matter which way this goes is there a right way and a wrong way i’m guessing it sort of feeds over the top down and into the that little thing Um start off with a nice straight bit shall we where’d that go so if we unscrew this Oh we didn’t need to cuz it fits all the way through So we can leave that attached after all Patch that properly Now now we know it doesn’t have to come off And our roll will just sit on there Something like that That’ll fit through our sensor down into our nozzle There we go One potentially functioning 3D printer Now I just need to figure out how to uh design get the design over here and start printing But I think that’s going to have to be a video for another day So uh just before we go Pete is saying you’ll be constantly printing all sorts of bits and bobs Put the roll in to allow the smoothest run to the filament tube Thanks mate I think that seems sensible the way we’ve done that Seems smooth I can pull on that and it and it pulls through quite easily And uh yeah I’m sure I’ll be starting printing in no time And uh it’s probably one of those things where once you start it’s difficult to stop You start making all kinds of knickknacks right uh Alex is saying "No right way around for the feed but the important thing is to secure the end when you take it off because if it goes loose you’ll have problems printing." I’m guessing that means the uh that right so if it starts getting knotted then it’s not going to be fun anymore Well bear that in mind and uh definitely take care Malma nice watching from India from Andabad Hi mate been to Andad many times always had a blast over there at the stars and aces flying field And Neil your best to cut the filament at an angle to help with loading to the printer head Ah that sounds like a really good tip mate Thank you So we’ll cut that at an angle instead and hopefully that will load better into the printer Sounds brilliant Okay so I think we’ll call it a wrap I’ve got some studying to do uh figuring out how the rest of this uh is going to work but I look forward to that I’ve already got a few ideas for some simple prints or what I think will be simple prints We’ll soon find out if that’s the case And uh I’ll show you guys in a future video exactly what I’ve learned how uh my take is on the whole printer printing and process And until then thanks for watching I hope you’ve all enjoyed the video If you did leave us a like subscribe if you aren’t already and I’ll see you all in a 3D printed future
