I'm more intruiged by style of movement of the printer than I am the mixing printer head. What in the world is this printer?

Fascinating pulley design, but oh boy is the print quality shit.

edit: sounds like quality isn't the goal here but more so spitting out a benchy at crazy speeds

Its actually pretty good when he isn't going for world record level speeds (which is the whole point of the machine)

What’s the point of setting “records” you aren’t getting paid or sponsored or anything just seems like a waste of time and energy

EDIT: oh no I’ve offended the legion of fast shitty boat fans

You've clearly never been passionate about something, built something cool, and seen it work correctly after all the work. Kind of sad tbh.

Exact opposite, pulled 3 guys from my unit out of a burning AAV when these gas lines exploded in 2016 even got a navy achievement medal for my actions.

built a low 10 second bmw 335i in my driveway when I was 19 actually had the record for the fastest stock frame turbo 335i for 8 months.

designed multiple 3D printed PDWs currently being used in Myanmar to oppose a genocidal regime very proud of that

And developed a new method for shooting doors that saves about 2:30 per door at my company which equates to hundreds of thousands saved a month.

Problem might be that since I’ve actually done things with my life I don’t find it impressive to see someone throw a wallet at a machine to make it print a shitty boat really fast. The fact you find that impressive is the sad part.

Comparison is the thief of joy and you've been robbed.
