RepRap Darwin started 3D printing for makers thanks to
@adrianbowyer
and Ed Sells.
I created Darwin Evo, using the latest kit, to celebrate how far we've come and to raise funds for

This video is how it happened.
Thank you. please enjoy.
Hey
@All3DP
, I don't remember giving permission for you to use my photo as the headline image in your article on your 'nozzle buyers guide'. Ah that's right, its because you didn't ask.
Today iโm saddened to share that I've been diagnosed with bowel cancer. I was initially diagnosed a month ago and have since undergone scans to improve the diagnosis although the full extent is still not known. My treatment will start with quite a substantial surgery... ๐งต1/6
Printed, assembled and ready to play. Maybe the first ever 3d printed table tennis bat with flexible runners. Testing tomorrow!

After three long weeks I'm finally out of hospital and resting at home. I'm still very weak and exhausted with lots of physical and emotional recovery still to do, but it feels so good to be home and it's already given me more energy to feel like myself! โฅ๏ธ
โ ๏ธ I have identified what I believe to be a critical safety issue with the Qidi Q1 pro. During the live teardown I identified that the fins of the chamber heater are live at 240v and you could feasibly touch them when in use.
Qidi have been contacted directly.
Not sure why I feel the need to do this but please avoid ordering Creality K1 before there is actually any testing or critique published. There seem to be affiliate links all over social media encouraging purchase of a machine that they have no personal experience with. ๐งต1/3
It's been a tough few months since my cancer diagnosis. I'm recovering to a new normal now but things are still difficult. I find it hard to ask for help but I know our 3D printing community are so kind that I feel able to. If you can help me, please do.โฅ๏ธ

There are times to print parts to save money, and there are times not to.
Safety pressure regulators on propane tanks are not the time to save money on 'alternatives'.
Do not do this.
3D printing is awesome! I needed a propane regulator fixed, but didnโt have time myself.

@Adam_V3D
teardown a Bambulab A1 on his livestream and this is the first time ive seen a printer bed heated this way, looks like an style of heating element like you`d find in an oven.
Is cost the only reason for this setup compared to a heater pad or PCB heater?
This has gone way above my expectations. I was shocked to meet the goal, but to surpass it this far is a credit to all of you that make this community so close and supportive. I love you all, and hope to be able to get back to nerdy 3D printing videos soon and meet you at SMRRFโฅ๏ธ
I've been told i'll receive one early on so i'll try to get you important info ASAP. Please have patience and wait for whomever you trust to test it first and support them with affiliate link usage AFTER they have informed you.๐งต3/3 Happy printing ๐

Hey all. it's been a while since the last cancer update because time just seems to pass so much faster at home. In terms of physical recovery, things seem to be going quite well, I'm walking regularly but still not managed the running or badminton that I'd normally do.
I am releasing ANOTHER product today!
MicroPWM! ๐ฅณ
This neat little device is a firmware-free 24V PWM module. Great for installing things such as LEDs on 3D printers where firmware modification is difficult or impossible. Maybe a Prusa or Ender 3? ๐
We did it. 50k on Youtube! What a huge milestone. To celebrate, enjoy a sale on most things on the shop for the next week! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐๐๐

said "You cannot wear this nozzle" I don't think they accounted for me creating a T-shirt. At least ONE of these designs will go on sale and a portion of profits (TBD) will go to the Sanjay Foundation. Vote in the next post! ๐
WARNING: To all Formbot Raptor 2.0 Users. The heatbed cables are extremely unsafe. Configuration of drag chain and cables results in severe damage to the internal copper which causes heating and potential for a fire. If you own one I would recommend stopping use immediately.
Always find time celebrate your achievements, no matter how small or large. I bought this 50k play button from

@Elegoo_Official
have decided to use red PERMANENT thread locker to secure the heatbreak to the heat block which requires heating to 260 to loosen. Please Elegoo, give me a good reason for this??

I'm incredibly sad that this happened on one of my videos, especially at such a positive time. I removed a lot of comments from that video, many before this comment that you see. I'm disappointed I missed some, but even more so that I had to remove any at all.
Thankyou so much for all the support and to those that have reached out personally and offered help. It's cheered me up tremendously knowing that so many of you are there for me โค๏ธ

If you send me a shit product, I'm going to make a review showing people that it's shit. Don't come at me afterwards saying I'm hostile. Test your products BEFORE wasting everyone else's time and money. This is Jackie Zhang from Mintion RE: Beagleprint review. Blacklisted.
CHECK THIS OUT! I made a couple of pretty cool and useful 3D printing calculators. Testing things out at the moment so stuff might change but pretty excited at the possibilities here. Be sure to leave feedback with your ideas and suggestions.
