  Q&amp;A: (Might already have the answer)<br> <br>Q: Just buy a Bambu Lab? A: No* <br>*(Realistically though, they are far too expensive locally, and even if I wanted one, I don’t need one.) <br><br>Q: Slightly modified? A: It’s basically stock. <br><br>Q: Why did you do this? A: Far too much fun. <br><br>Q: How much were the carbon fibre parts? A: 128.1$ (USD EXCLUDING SHIPPING.)<br><br>Q: My Bambu Lab can do that. A: I’m sure it can <br><br>Q: This is stupid. A: Fair enough, thanks for watching. <br><br>Q: I love this. A: Hell Yeah <br><br>Q: Should I do this? A: Absolutely Not. <br><br>Q: Why X Components? A: Personal choice and cool factor. <br><br>Q: Try CPAP cooling. A: Just you wait… <br><br>Q: I can print a faster benchy. A: Stay Tuned for November… <br><br>Q: What’s happening then? A: Redemption (Fastest Ender 5 [but faster]) <br><br>Q: Just buy a Bambu Lab? A: Bambu Lab please send me anything, I’ll do anything.<br><br>Q: Total amount spent? A: I&apos;ve had this machine for almost 4 years. Combining what I&apos;ve spent + other companies&apos; provided parts, I&apos;d estimate over $1000 (NZD) easily.<br><br>I made quite a few mistakes in this video, I don&apos;t recommended you follow what I do, it&apos;s purely for entertainment and seeing what&apos;s possible. I enjoyed making this video, but as you can see it&apos;s quite a bit longer than usual. I don&apos;t intend for this to be the norm. I&apos;m considering making a patreon or such for the directors cuts, and leaving the supercuts on YT. Otherwise it&apos;s a bit too much time to allocate. I feel the ending could have been improved, but with things ramping up, I&apos;m comfortable to release it like this. If you have any questions or suggestions, I&apos;d love to hear them as always. Cheers, Tommy.<br><br>Inspired by the LH Stinger, Monika McWuff, Nathan Builds Robots, Vez3D and many others. Thank you!

  This kid understands why dads/old men never throw anything out, because when you do a week later you&apos;ll need it.

  it&apos;s not pushing Ender 3 to its limits, it&apos;s &quot;engine swapping&quot; Ender 3.

  So cool that you still use the Ender 3. Mine is sleeping since I got the Bambulab X1C, but I plan on upgrading the Ender 3 with Klipper and a second Z axis.

  The Ender 3 is the AR-15 of 3D printers. &nbsp;Just so much you can do to it. &nbsp;Such a venerable printer.
