  Hey Team!<br>This was a much larger and crazier project than expected. Looks like the E3 is back on the menu!<br> *SPOILER*: For those upset about the length and result, I will work hard in the future to fix this. It&apos;s not what I wanted this video to be, but it still has a few pros, albeit a few cons too as always. I will try and keep this comment updated with anything important. As always, please let me know any questions that you may have, and I&apos;ll do my best to answer. Cheers!<br>First Edit. I realise that the amount of ads here is pretty bad. I&apos;ve taken a looked and halved the total number. It should be less annyoing now.<br>Second Edit.

  At what point does your Ender 3 transcend it&apos;s three-ness and become the Ender 4?

  I needed long format maker videos with a good pace to play when I’m working on projects.<br>This is perfect.

  So much in such a short timeframe! And love your honesty about the mistakes and perseverance. So many creators brush past them and cut them out in the edit, so it&apos;s refreshing to see that people don&apos;t just get everything more or less right off the bat

  Thank you for getting this out. &nbsp;Definitely covers so much experimental ground to be cherry picked from for tinkerers.
