You need to make a response video after their response and the fix to the machine...

I've worked with those gearboxes in the past and they are not very powerful, something along the lines of 1-2 kg lift at 1cm for a 12v model. Along with that the internal gear that connects to the worm drive is usually plastic and chews after a short time.

They need to change name before they get sued by Mycronics lol.

Kickstarter isn't a preorder platform, that has been a corruption of the original intent because of all the early failures on the platform. Joel, who reviews kickstarters way more often than you, tells you straight up, if it is on kickstarter, make sure you are comfortable setting the money on fire. Large Chinese companies are treating it as a preorder platform because they can. The number of products that look flashy when the reviewer gets them and then they failed to make it to the users hands are very high. I personally wouldn't kickstart this (notice I said kickstart and not preorder), mostly because I don't have $3000 to set on fire.

Henry will be hitting himself with a hammer every time the phone rings for technical support 🤯

I wish all printer can fix be with hammer .... yeahhhhhhh

Is it possible the pre-shipment testing powder was still in the auger gummed up the works from moisture contaimination?

The comment about “not getting paid to make the video” is a bit dishonest. You do get paid UA-cam ad rev and it’s still in your interest to put a video out. Seeing their full correspondence also shows they weren’t implying they wanted the machine back if it wasn’t going to get a good review. At the end of the day, this is how these things go and I give the creators massive props for building a machine line this from scratch in a scrappy startup fashion. I bet they will get the bugs worked out.

Why do people love to defend companies so quickly, If i had any of these issues after I pledged enough to get a printer I would be fuming, this is not a good process, even as a beta tester you should be allowed to explain issues to your audience. especially when using it and not saying anything bad would insinuate an endorsement. We ask for honesty, we get honesty and then we belittle the person being honest. We review early access games, we review beta games, but somehow, something that is 10x the price "HOW DARE HE SPEAK THE TRUTH!". You all need to figuire out who you are and what you want, I am appreciative of the video and the companies response. Don't Elon Musk every person that promises the future before they deliver it.

Cool... I've only had EEG's, once lasting three frick'n days non stop. Now the three "daze" time was studying epilepsy, but still. I'm researching the latest TBI treatments for a variety of issues noted here. That's been a struggle speaking directly to neurologists locally. I hope you've fully recovered, and shop plus activity within has advanced further. Keep it all up, dude. 👍 ...also, EVERY doctors office/hospital/clinic MUST - by law - upon request provide patients with any or all part of their own medical records. I'm anal about collecting all mine, partly because of my own memory issues, partly because sometimes it's difficult to get doctors at different locations to find data of yesteryear... but most of all because I get a kick out of 3D printing my own innards, lol.

Thank you for going through this so we don't have to. I would gladly go through this for metal parts, not so much for plastic. But at 50,000$ per laser I don't think we'll be seeing that anytime soon.

For $3k you have to hit it with a hammer 🤦🏽‍♂️ 💀 what is the justification of this price? Thing looks like a torture device tbh

Thanks Scotty, for sharing this clip. I'd just watched your Micronics review, the first time I've seen your page, and subscribed immediately. Then browsing back into this episode, I'm feeling kind'a daja vue. I'm renovating my own makerspace into my home, and planning to start my own channel, too (cool name, btw). I'm a TBI survivor, so I'm intrigued to see this interview, and so I'm looking into CognativeFX now, too. Party on, dude P.S.: if you haven't transformed your CT scan or MRI into a full scale 3D print, I highly recommend doing so. The print looks cool, but that's just the first step. Too many options to list, and I haven't even found the best one yet.

Tried to have your MKBHD moment there. Sad that's the only way you think your channel can survive, I know why i unsubscribed a long time ago. 👎

really appreciate your honesty and the fact that you filmed your whole experience / bug fixing with the product.

Yeahhh not sure about this one. Printer seems great and better than most things that are in the kickstarter phase. You’re kind of off on your stance about what kickstarter is used for. Also, as another engineer, seeing their dedication to fixing issues is all that really matters to me at this stage of the product lifestyle.

Kickstarter is supposed to be for startups, not companies that already have money to take presales. It's in the name. They seem to be using Kickstarter exactly as intended.

i think you ended up doing them a service. i would invest in this, warts and all - if i have the spare money

I watched their side of the story and quite frankly I think you haven't been completely fair or transparent. This isn't a final product and kickstarter backers can cancel their pledge until the last moment free of charge. I think delaying the video a bit so that they could address their issues is only reasonable.

I think the mfg neglected to warn you of the dust hazard and their response to all the comments about said hazard just shows how lax their safety cluture is. Obviously if you have a clean filter and do everything perfectly little dust will escape but no one is perfect a user will ineventably drop the fragile box breaking it or drop the cake with the two scope thing and spread massive amounts of dust that will instantly clog that tiny supposedly hepa rated fan thing.

Thank you for your honest review of -Theranos- Micronics, you've likely saved me 3+ grand.

If you really wanted to love it, that would mean giving tech support proper time and response. Seems like you wanted to love getting the video out more than you wanted to love the product.

Yep, all empty promises and false hype. Will not be buying

How did they remove the powder after testing but before they shipped it?

ua-cam.com/video/JFTYIrJ7AFw/v-deo.html They made a response, and after seeing the unhidden messages that Scotty censored...

First of all I somehow missed being subbed to this channel despite knowing the other. I was confused but the name is just one letter different. Anyway no worries I'm subbed to both now. Now this machine. Its times like this I learn a lot about the channels I'm watching. Those that just ignore all the issues and either take the money or the free hardware and those like this one that tell you this is not ready. As exciting as it is to see this kind of printing technology come down an order of magnitude in price. I don't believe this is the company to do it. They are too under funded and trying to do too much. That's just my opinion. I hope to be proved wrong. Them have a great first run with everything fixed. I hope even more they are still around for a V2 as I'd be very interested in seeing that. But I'm out as far as this one goes and I'm exactly the kind of person that would buy this. A real shame.

I would love to see the like to dislike ratio

Why didn't they supply ready installed? It seems cumbersome to get it right in the fast place and a risk of something going wrong.

This didn't age well in the face of their response buddy, you did them dirty. Take this down.

I hope you address their reply, because you didn't seemed very transparent on your video, unlike them.

What part of beta or prototype isn't clear for this guy? You dont deserve this testing unit

I'm reminded of the final lines of Anton Ego in Ratatouille - it's safe and easy for critics to trash on the hard work that others extend to them from the safety of behind their own writing desks - it's easier to tear people down and negative reviews get more views. But remember this is the work of two guys out of their garages and bedrooms, and to produce a product as professional as this, even with it's rough edges, deserves far more credit and respect than you seem to be willing to lend them. Honesty isn't a shield for you to shit on people's hard work without acknowledgment.

Garbage

Sick hit-piece bro, and way to use your influence to try and destroy a small business who, by their ACTUAL transparency, tried to work with you and send you replacement parts right away. You failed to mention that or even tell the whole story. Its sick people like you exist.

Scotty, Kickstarter really is for exactly this, if not worse. An idea is Kickstarted. It's not amazon, you're not buying a product. You're investing into an idea. You are a beta tester, that means there WILL be problems which is exactly what you got so... What's the problem. I belive Micronics have been more than transparent and really didn't need to be at all. Hopefully you guys get it together.

Their response video tells a tale of a rushed review and a UA-cam pulled in many directions. It would be good to see this resolved in a nice way!

And this is why you only throw money at kickstarter projects that you could afford to just burn.

Great hit piece 👏👏👍

This review is a hitjob.

after watching micronics' new video on this matter, I'm leaning more to their side than yours - mostly because of their true transparency

The transparency and discussion of how difficult it is to actually be transparent in how much of a let down this has been is extremely refreshing. The entire Micronics project seems to be attempting to contain how frankly amateur it is at its core in a post-bambu market where products are expected to be professional and coherent at every level. I'm still hopeful that they will find their footing and, if nothing else, demonstrate the viability of affordable desktop SLS in the consumer 3d printer market. Thank you, Scotty!

When i see this sls thing i remembered the first cardboard fff 3d printer from ultimaker

Thank you for this honest review!! I'm starting to see these reviews pop up and this video was great until the end. The company is not ready for release and they are not prepared to make the changes needed. I hope others are as transparent as you and maybe they can get this into a great product.

I would like to see more reviews like this for Kickstarter projects because everything that I bought on kickstarter it disappointed me.

If this is a beta testing machine I think their problem was to allow people who want to test their machines to make a video of it. Creality did that too often and the units that arr shipped are actually good but most of the reviews are on the beta or alpha version which had bugs which I think hurt sales.

Their behavior dissuaded me from their printer. I would've loved one of these and wouldn't have cared about them taking time to work through the issues. But to shove out something bad and try to cover up instead of offering transparency on the issues is really irresponsible and comes across as cash grabbing instead of being intent on making a solid product. There is so much they could do differently to make this ok and not let these issues stop them. Thanks for keeping us informed, it does look like a cool printer, but if they can't own up to where things are wrong and do better to address them I'm going to avoid Micronics. Amazing how a little humility would save them so much trouble.

this whole experience looked like a NIGHTMARE. It's such cool technology for us to have access to at home, but manufacturers seemingly just aren't testing their products enough...

I was completely open to buying a beta unit with issues, that's the price of being on the cutting edge. What is a dealbreaker is their attitude with you. Trying to hide the issues and not owning it. Thanks for being honest. Hopefully they receive the feedback: it's not the issues the problem, it's how a company deals with it. This ain't it. I was about to put my money down before watching this video. Thank you for being honest with us!

I hope they can get the issues sorted out and get the money they need. I want that concept as a machine. I'm not going to back it and be a guinea pig for an unfinished product.

Powder likes to clump and is hard to move if its full of moisture heating the powder to get rid of unwanted moisture should make this more reliable.
