0:00
I'm just going to say it. I don't like
0:02
Yuthi make, but I don't mean the
0:03
machine. I mean the name Yuthi. It
0:05
sounds silly. And it also makes me think
0:07
of the Final Fantasy character who also
0:09
happens to share a name with my last
0:11
surviving dog. So yeah, emotional
0:13
baggage before I've even switched it on.
0:15
And yes, later in this video, she'll be
0:17
helping with some tests we do. Not not
0:19
my dog, the character. We'll get on to
0:21
that. The printer itself, though, this
0:24
is the new anchor make. Yeah, the same
0:26
team behind the M5 and the M5C. two
0:29
machines I personally love, not for
0:32
crazy specs or reliability, but because
0:34
when they were released, they were
0:35
smart, user focused, and the whole idea
0:38
was they just worked. Honestly, they
0:41
could have dominated the FDM space if it
0:44
wasn't for a particular other brand
0:46
doing it better. An anchor losing steam
0:49
on development. But this isn't about the
0:52
name change or the nostalgia. This thing
0:54
just pulled in $46 million on
0:56
Kickstarter and it is a resin printer.
0:59
It is. And after all the hype videos
1:01
you've seen, you're about to hear from
1:03
someone who's not here to kiss its ass.
1:06
So, hi, I'm Ross and this is Fauxhammer
1:08
Videos. Now, first up, I have to thank
1:11
Sam Apprentice for this review existing.
1:13
He's the guy who put me back in touch
1:15
with Yuimake. So, please check out his
1:17
channel, too. Right, we're going to
1:18
blitz through the boring review
1:20
checklist and get straight onto the good
1:21
stuff because I've pushed this thing
1:23
hard in ways I don't think the marketing
1:25
team ever pictured. And the results
1:27
range from that's genius to oh that's a
1:30
choice. Now I've tested it in 2D, in 3D,
1:33
and in the kind of awkward space between
1:35
where you're not sure if you're printing
1:37
a picture or a lawsuit. And along the
1:39
way, I've found features I love and
1:41
limitations you'll definitely want to
1:42
know about before you drop your money
1:45
cuz it's a lot of money to drop. Now,
1:47
make no mistake. This is a resin
1:49
printer, which is my home turf. Now, the
1:51
industry calls it UV ink, but really
1:54
it's colored resin. And this works by
1:57
well, instead of a 2D printer spraying
1:59
ink that dries in the air, this drops
2:01
resin and cures it almost instantly with
2:04
a UV lamp in the print head. That means
2:06
it can print on almost any surface and
2:09
even build up physical height, too, in
2:11
layers, which makes it a 3D printer,
2:15
kind of. So, let's talk about user
2:18
experience. If you've never used the M5
2:20
printers, one of the reasons I rated
2:22
them so highly because at the time they
2:24
were released, they didn't feel like
2:25
your usual lump of semi-industrial
2:27
machinery that had accidentally wandered
2:29
into your living room. They felt like a
2:32
proper consumer product from the
2:34
unboxing. Yuthiake, just like Anchor
2:37
Make before it, has absolutely nailed
2:39
that same premium vibe. Even the
2:41
packaging, it's clean. Everything feels
2:43
deliberate. And even the way you crack
2:45
it open has that you've bought something
2:48
fancy energy. You undo the Velcro
2:50
straps, lift off the lid, and it all
2:52
just presents itself like it's worth
2:54
your attention. And before you start
2:56
typing, why is he reviewing the bloody
2:58
box? Well, think about it. First
3:00
impressions matter. You don't show up to
3:02
a first date smelling like burnt toast.
3:04
And based on how well this thing's done
3:06
already, yeah, I'll happily put out on
3:08
the first date. Everything's clearly
3:10
labeled, walking you through each step
3:12
of setup before pointing you to install
3:14
the software on your phone or computer,
3:16
and either option works perfectly fine
3:19
with this machine. Visually, it's very
3:21
much aimed at the consumer market,
3:23
sharing far more in common with 2D
3:25
printers than something with a hulking
3:27
resin vat. It's got dual fold down doors
3:29
on the front and back that hold closed
3:31
with magnets, and you can just uncip
3:33
these and remove them easily if you need
3:35
to. Just a note that despite the
3:37
physical dimensions of the unit listed
3:39
online, running it with the large
3:41
standard bed installed means the forward
3:43
and back motion needs about 73 cm of
3:46
full bench depth just to operate. And
3:48
that's about the same as when it's got
3:50
the doors folded down. There's only two
3:52
ports, power and Ethernet on the bottom
3:54
left side, and it also has built-in
3:56
Wi-Fi, which stayed stable for the
3:58
entire time I was testing. But the power
4:01
on and off routine is a little odd. When
4:03
you plug it in, you need to wait for the
4:05
light to turn green. Then you hold this
4:07
button for a few seconds so it can boot
4:09
up and run its self tests. But the
4:11
startup chime it plays is surprisingly
4:14
cheerful. This is the sort of sound that
4:16
makes you feel like the printer is
4:18
actually pleased to see you.
4:24
Powering down the machine is the
4:26
reverse. So, you've got to hold the
4:27
button for several seconds until you
4:29
hear the shutdown audio,
4:32
but then you've got to wait about 15
4:34
minutes while it completes a full power
4:36
down cycle and the button turns red. And
4:39
that process is intentional because it
4:41
clears the lines of any residual UV ink
4:43
so it doesn't harden inside whilst the
4:45
machine sat dormant. If you leave it
4:47
switched on but unused, you'll actually
4:50
hear it run a short cycle roughly every
4:52
20 minutes or so. And that's to keep
4:54
everything fresh for exactly the same
4:56
reason. It's only got one button. This
4:58
is on top. Send a job remotely. Press
5:00
this. The print starts. Whilst it's
5:02
printing, hold this, the print stops.
5:05
Well, pauses. There are six inks which
5:07
tidily click clack into place. Cyan,
5:09
magenta, yellow, and key. That's black.
5:12
Plus, it's got white and gloss. White
5:15
here is for when your material isn't
5:17
already white, like paper. Now, you
5:19
might need anywhere from non to several
5:21
layers depending on the surface you're
5:23
printing on. Now, don't worry, the
5:24
software sets this automatically when
5:26
you pick a material type, and having
5:28
gloss is fine, but the standard inks are
5:31
already pretty shiny anyway. So,
5:33
personally, I'd rather have seen a matte
5:35
option. But Yuimake have already
5:37
confirmed they are working on more
5:39
materials for the future, and that is
5:42
super exciting. If you can already
5:44
imagine the possibilities or you've got
5:46
an idea of what you would want to see,
5:48
comment below. There's also this
5:50
cleaning cartridge on the right side.
5:52
This is hidden behind a vanity plate.
5:54
And this flushes the lines with
5:55
detergent and it actually stores purged
5:58
resin cuz UV ink is still resin, which
6:01
means it's hazardous. So, wear gloves
6:03
when doing any maintenance and dispose
6:05
of it properly. And be aware, it gives
6:08
off VOCC's. It has got a built-in carbon
6:11
filter in the front, but this only
6:12
really helps when you've got the doors
6:14
closed using the small plate, and even
6:16
then, it only reduces fumes. It doesn't
6:19
remove them. I'm going to be covering
6:21
general resin safety in an upcoming
6:23
video, so click subscribe and keep your
6:25
eye out for that. But yeah, this comes
6:26
with two print beds. The mini bed,
6:28
installed by default, has an area of
6:30
333x 88 mm. And the larger standard bed,
6:34
also in the box, swaps it easily. Just
6:37
unlock the latch, drop it in, and the
6:39
power and data connect through the
6:40
extrusion underneath. Whatever bed or
6:43
accessory you fit, the E1 tells the
6:45
studio software automatically. But this
6:47
larger bed is listed at 330x 420 mm
6:51
online. In truth, though, the software
6:53
confirms it's actually 333x
6:56
418, only slightly smaller than A3 in
7:00
depth or height, depends how you're
7:02
holding the paper. Now, the height
7:04
clearance from the bed to the actual
7:05
print head is about 150 mm, but in
7:08
reality, anything that's over about 60
7:11
to 70 mm tall triggers a snapshot failed
7:14
error and you can't print. So, that's
7:16
your object's height limit. And as for
7:18
the height of prints themselves, the
7:20
maximum height of a printed image is 5
7:23
mm from a surface, which we're going to
7:25
dig into later in the print tests. What
7:28
is super handy and cool is that before
7:30
every job, these dual lasers actually
7:33
scan your material to keep the print
7:35
head at the right distance or at least
7:37
two or three mm from the top surface.
7:40
Again, there's more to cover about that,
7:41
especially when we look at materials
7:43
that have got texture or variable depth.
7:45
We'll come on to that later. Now, it's
7:47
also got a built-in camera for bed
7:49
previews, much like a lot of modern
7:51
laser engravers. Now, it works well,
7:53
giving you a clear photo of the bed, so
7:55
you can line up designs. And on the
7:57
larger plate, it shoots in sections and
7:59
then stitches them together, which keeps
8:01
the center more accurate than if it was
8:04
trying to take a wide-angle photo of the
8:06
whole thing. But with that in mind, the
8:08
further you go widthwise, the more
8:10
distortion creeps in, and that's just
8:12
the reality of a fixed camera.
8:14
Personally, I'd love to see it mounted
8:15
in the print head on a future model so
8:18
it can take perfect top- down shots
8:20
anywhere across the plate. Now, this is
8:22
where I'd normally talk about the UI,
8:24
but this doesn't have an onboard screen,
8:25
just like their M5C. Everything's
8:28
controlled remotely through the phone,
8:30
tablet, or computer app. Setup's quick.
8:32
Connect to the printer's hotspot, give
8:34
it your Wi-Fi details, and you're in.
8:36
The interface is the same across all
8:38
devices. And there's also a web version,
8:40
too, and even a fully offline mode for
8:42
those who like to keep their printers
8:44
airgapped from society. Unlike many
8:46
modern maker apps, this one opens to Yui
8:49
Makes It Real platform. their design
8:52
storefront. Now, it's already got
8:54
hundreds of curated files with more
8:56
coming as more people get hands-on
8:58
because after every print, they give you
9:00
the option to upload and share your
9:02
designs if you're feeling generous with
9:03
the community, which is exactly what I
9:06
did with this great Gyarados over
9:07
Kanagawa design that I did. I'll put a
9:10
link in the description. But I've got to
9:11
say, even for beta software, this is
9:14
impressive. Now, sure, there are some
9:16
small bugs and some missing nice to
9:18
haves right now, but in the 3D printer
9:21
world I've existed in for a few years, I
9:23
have genuinely seen final release
9:26
software in far worse shape than this.
9:28
And here, the Yuimate team are actively
9:31
listening to and talking with the beta
9:33
testers, which is a promising sign.
9:35
Though, we do have to keep in mind that
9:37
their track record under the anchor mate
9:39
name wasn't exactly lightning fast on
9:42
updates. So maybe that's why they
9:44
changed it. I honestly think we'd be in
9:46
the same place if they just kept that
9:47
better name and delivered these results.
9:50
But yeah, from a usability point of
9:52
view, this is built for your workflow.
9:55
It's intuitive, simple, and it gets out
9:57
of your way so you can just make things.
10:00
And here's how it works in general
10:02
practice. Place your object on the
10:04
plate, take a snapshot, drop your image
10:06
where you want it, hit print. But there
10:08
are some variables such as selecting
10:10
your material type that makes changes
10:12
such as setting the default number of
10:14
layers for color and adhesion. For
10:16
example, printing on 3D printed plastic
10:19
plates as I did defaults to five white
10:21
layers and one CMK. Pick another
10:24
material and those numbers adjust
10:26
automatically. Or as you start to learn
10:28
it, you can set these layer counts
10:30
yourself, probably with the idea of
10:32
saving ink in mind. If you're printing
10:33
on something white, you don't need any
10:35
white layers before CMK because it's
10:38
already white. Now, before we dive into
10:40
showing these print tests, I've stripped
10:42
out my usual sexy color grading, so
10:44
you're seeing colors as close to reality
10:46
as possible. And I've used a Calibbrite
10:49
color checker video to grade this
10:50
following footage. So, what you see here
10:52
should be close to real and accurate
10:55
enough for anyone who wants to geek out
10:56
over color. Feel free to pause and take
10:59
screenshots. Now, first up is this
11:01
Northlight Images test chart, which I
11:03
used years ago to test my 2D printer
11:05
because there were guides available for
11:07
it online on YouTube. This thing covers
11:09
everything. Gradients, detail, solid
11:12
colors, grayscale, variable colors in
11:14
one shot. It's the sort of reference
11:16
pros would use to check how well a
11:18
printer can handle tricky transitions
11:20
and fine detail. I'm going to put a link
11:22
to the source of this in the
11:23
description, which will explain what all
11:25
of these images are actually showing and
11:27
what we're testing. But next, I made my
11:29
own custom test card. And this one
11:31
focuses on line width, text sharpness,
11:33
gradients, and a simple color chart.
11:35
Again, pause if you want to take a
11:37
closer look, but it's the easiest way to
11:39
see exactly what this printer can
11:41
resolve in terms of resolution and
11:43
accuracy. Now, on that, the E1 claims a
11:46
resolution of 1440 dpi, and that works
11:49
out to about an 18 micron dot, roughly
11:52
the same as a 12 to 14K resin printer's
11:54
pixel size. But just like resin
11:56
printers, theoretical resolution isn't
11:58
the same as practical. It can't
12:01
perfectly do a checkerboard of one dot
12:03
on one dot off at this scale. I actually
12:05
had to grab a microscope to verify this.
12:08
But what we need to consider is the way
12:10
this print head expresses ink is a few
12:12
millm above the surface of a print. So
12:15
these tiny droplets will spread a bit as
12:18
they travel through the air. That said
12:20
though, from a normal viewing distance,
12:22
the detail and color rendering you get
12:24
from prints on this still looks
12:26
fantastic. But yeah, for any 2D image
12:29
pros out there, this runs on a custom
12:31
CMK profile, not a standard one, and you
12:34
can't edit the ICC's. Now, for profile
12:37
tests, here's almost Yuthi from Final
12:39
Fantasy to help us out. And I UV printed
12:42
her on 3D printed PLA boards in various
12:44
combinations of CMYK, white, and gloss.
12:48
And these show not just the available
12:50
ink modes, but how changing the order,
12:52
adding or emitting layers can completely
12:54
alter the final look. Along the bottom,
12:56
you'll see the different quality
12:58
settings available. 720x 720 for draft,
13:01
720x440 for standard, and 1440x440
13:05
for high quality. And yeah, it's clear
13:07
that these improve in sharpness as you
13:10
increase the resolution. And going back
13:11
to those layer combinations with the
13:13
different orders, printing on
13:15
transparent materials is where CMYK
13:17
first then white really shines
13:20
literally. Without the white, the
13:22
print's actually translucent. If you add
13:24
the white, it now pops. And you can also
13:27
add another CMYK layer on top of that to
13:29
make it double-sided. And that would be
13:31
perfect for things like signage or
13:33
window graphics. Now, not everything's
13:35
perfect. There are still some quirks.
13:37
You might even notice there's some
13:38
scratches on this print, but we'll come
13:40
back to those shortly. The thing that
13:42
really sticks out is this faint white
13:44
halo around the images. Now, Yuimake are
13:47
working currently on a white underbase
13:49
choke setting to fix this, and that will
13:51
reduce how wide the white layer is below
13:53
it. But right now, as I'm testing, this
13:55
is still in beta. And the E1 can also
13:58
print in raised textures. As I
14:00
mentioned, there's three main modes, and
14:01
I've done them all. But here, I'm going
14:03
to show the default values in terms of
14:05
height and the maximums. So, flat is
14:07
standard. Flat raised can actually lift
14:10
the whole image up to a maximum of 3 mm,
14:13
but the image stays flat. Pattern
14:16
texture basically treats dark areas as
14:18
low and bright areas as high up to a
14:21
maximum of 2 mm in print height. And
14:23
this can also print in glossonly mode
14:26
for if you only want to add the texture.
14:28
Now, relief texture is the clever one.
14:30
This uses machine learning. I'm not
14:32
calling it AI because that's not what it
14:34
is, but this tries to build more of a
14:36
natural raised surface. And this is one
14:39
of several machine learning tools built
14:41
into the software. This along with
14:43
editing your own images can cost 1 to
14:45
two credits. And at the point of
14:46
recording, anybody who has one of these
14:49
gets 200 free credits a month. You can
14:52
buy more. But yeah, as for relief
14:54
texture, I tested it at the default 2.3
14:56
mm with smoothing set to one. Then the
14:59
same again with smoothing set to seven.
15:01
And then I completely maxed it out at 5
15:03
mm. And yeah, you don't need to add the
15:06
texture on this printer because this
15:07
will print on pre-extured objects, too.
15:10
For example, I printed directly onto
15:12
some Warhammer scenery by photographing
15:14
it on the E1, adding the textures in
15:16
Photoshop, and then sending that back to
15:19
the E1 to print it. And yeah, I'll admit
15:21
the results here look awful because I
15:23
picked terrible colors and textures, but
15:25
I just wanted to get it done quick to
15:27
prove that this concept works. However,
15:30
there are some printing height limits to
15:31
be aware of, though. For example, on
15:33
this 35 mm half sphere, it could only
15:36
print accurately down to about the
15:38
halfway point. So, I then made a test
15:40
ramp with 1 mm steps, and this showed,
15:43
well, the print quality is pretty
15:45
spot-on up to about a 3 mm depth change
15:47
and still fairly decent up to 5 mm, but
15:51
it starts breaking down steadily on its
15:53
way up to around 10 or 11 mil and is
15:55
completely blown out afterwards. But
15:57
still, I'd say that's a pretty solid
15:59
range in terms of print depth. But one
16:01
tip here is never mix objects of
16:03
different heights on the same job
16:05
because the E1 will only focus on the
16:07
tallest object it sees. and print
16:09
everything else as if it's at that same
16:11
height. Right, then the not fun bit.
16:14
Let's talk pricing. Now, we know this is
16:16
an expensive machine and the inks aren't
16:18
exactly pocket change either. Yuth's ink
16:21
runs at 50 cents per milliliter and
16:23
that's best case scenario assuming you
16:25
use every last drop in a cartridge on
16:28
prints. So, yeah, the consumables do put
16:31
the fee in UI. Yeah, even I heard how
16:34
terrible that was. Let's move on. So,
16:36
what do the prices actually mean in the
16:38
real world? Well, here's a few of my
16:40
test prints as examples. This Gyarados
16:42
print done in high quality, estimated to
16:44
use about 0.24 ml, and that was with six
16:48
layers of white. So, we're talking
16:50
somewhere around 12 to 19 for this
16:53
print. But all of these raised UI
16:55
profile tests on PLA plastic used 30.34
16:59
ml of ink, which is $15 to $25 just for
17:04
this test sheet. So, I've got to be
17:06
honest, it's a good job. I'm not
17:07
personally a big fan of raised prints.
17:10
I'd probably be more inclined to create
17:12
a separate 3D printer to create depth or
17:15
texture because the cost of filament or
17:17
resin is going to be far cheaper than
17:19
this ink. Now, another example, this
17:21
small page of stickers was just 0.13 ml.
17:24
So, that makes it less than 10. And my
17:26
biggest print, this huge Midgar poster
17:29
printed on a metal plate, completely
17:31
dissimilar to any other brands out there
17:33
who may print on metal plates, came in
17:35
at 0.41 ml. So, we're looking 20 to 32
17:39
cents to print it. Again, this had six
17:41
layers of white. So, yeah, it's not as
17:44
cheap as our typical office printer, but
17:45
it's still far less than I expected when
17:48
we're not adding height to it. And yeah,
17:50
I would also love for this to be
17:51
cheaper, but it isn't. Right about those
17:54
scratches. So, one consumable that I
17:57
don't see gets talked about much is the
17:59
print bed. Not the rigid plastic base,
18:01
but the top sheet. This has got a peel
18:04
away white cover, and underneath is a
18:06
gummy rubbery layer that grips onto
18:08
whatever you're printing on. Now, with
18:09
my thin PLA plates, the curing ink
18:12
sometimes actually made them contract
18:14
and curl up and pull away from that
18:16
sticky base, which meant the print head
18:19
started scraping across them mid print.
18:21
Now, Euimake already has a flexible
18:23
version of the white ink that will help
18:25
with this sort of thing when you're
18:26
printing on more flexible materials. And
18:29
as I said, they've hinted at even more
18:31
material options coming too. But over
18:34
time, especially if you do print off the
18:36
edge of a material, which I've done both
18:38
by accident and on purpose to make sure
18:41
I get full edgeto edge, you'll end up
18:43
with ink baked onto the bed. Now, you
18:45
can scrape it off, but the sheet will
18:48
eventually lose its stick, which for me
18:51
took about a week because of all the
18:52
tests I did and my lack of caring. In
18:55
the real world, you'd slow that down
18:57
with better care, or even 3D print some
19:00
jigs for batch jobs just to keep the
19:02
surface safe and clean. In desperation,
19:04
I actually broke out the old FDM
19:06
survival kit, which included glue stick
19:08
and hairspray. Just remember, I did
19:11
print a lot during testing and tried to
19:13
push it to breaking point. I wasn't
19:15
gentle. You can get replacements for
19:17
these and from what Euthake told me,
19:19
they're expected to be under $10 a
19:21
sheet. So, at least it's not the biggest
19:23
wallet killer when you inevitably ruin
19:25
one. Now, before we wrap up, I've got to
19:27
show you two accessories I tested with
19:29
this. First, the rotary tool. Honestly,
19:31
this is one of the best rotary tools I
19:34
have ever used. It attaches just like a
19:36
print bed. It locks in place and holds
19:38
pretty much any cylindrical object,
19:40
including cups with handles. And the
19:42
E1's built-in lasers can even help to
19:45
tilt the object to handle tapered edges,
19:47
which is incredibly cool. But right now,
19:50
this isn't perfect. For example, I
19:52
printed my son a Fortnite bottle, and I
19:55
did another bottle for my mate who runs
19:56
a local gymnastics club. But the E1
19:59
often misread the diameter. You can set
20:02
it manually in the software, but then
20:04
when you go to print, the auto
20:05
measurement currently forces you to
20:07
override your settings, which left me
20:09
with overlapping designs instead of a
20:12
more perfect wrap. And unlike when you
20:14
use the flatbeds, there's currently no
20:16
way to use the camera function. So, you
20:18
can't pinpoint exactly where a design
20:20
will start, either in height or
20:23
rotation. So, this does currently lead
20:25
to quite a bit of guesswork. Don't get
20:27
me wrong, a lot of this is still great,
20:29
but in comparison to how much of the
20:31
rest of the Yuimake system works so
20:33
incredibly well, this area does still
20:35
need some work to make it seamless as
20:37
the rest of the machine's functions. And
20:39
the second thing is sticker sheets.
20:41
There's not really much to say here.
20:42
This is super easy. You literally just
20:44
print your sticker design down onto
20:46
these sheets and then run them one at a
20:48
time through Yui Makes Laminator and
20:50
that's it. Ultra durable stickers,
20:52
really easy. and I've actually used them
20:54
to come up with some new faux hammer
20:55
branding tests. So, please let me know
20:57
if you've got any favorites in the
20:59
comments. Now, before I conclude, I
21:01
really want to just hammer home how easy
21:03
this machine is to use. So, here's the
21:06
first thing I ever printed on it. No
21:08
test runs, no calibration. This was just
21:10
an idea I had that I wanted to
21:12
desperately apply as soon as I knew the
21:14
machine existed. And I had no idea if
21:17
this would even work. But going from
21:19
idea to this being my first immediately
21:22
working print shows just how easy this
21:24
was. And it was as simple as I grabbed
21:26
some random terrain textures from the
21:28
internet, cropped them into circles, ran
21:31
them through the depth map tool in
21:32
Yuimake Studio, and printed them
21:35
straight onto Warhammer bases. And it
21:37
worked first try. I now have colored and
21:41
textured Warhammer bases ready to go
21:43
with incredibly little effort. It worked
21:46
first try. That's how easy the E1 is to
21:49
learn how to use. So, here's where I
21:52
land on it. It's brilliant. It's not
21:55
perfect, but it is unmistakably
21:58
brilliant. And that's worth underlining
22:00
because we're only at the start of this
22:03
tech being something we can actually
22:05
have in our homes. What's here is
22:07
already powerful, easy, and wildly fun
22:10
to use. And the potential is huge. Like
22:14
imagine they swapped out that gloss
22:16
material for a soluble support material
22:19
and then opened the door to printing
22:20
actual full color 3D models straight out
22:24
of the machine fully cured and ready to
22:26
handle without cleanup. Yeah, then we'd
22:28
be looking at something that could
22:30
completely shake up resin printing
22:31
entirely. But whether that's just a pipe
22:34
dream, a patent problem, or just a not
22:36
yet, I honestly don't know. What I do
22:39
know is that it's technically possible
22:41
and I'm fine dreaming. Even if it wasn't
22:44
full color, just a soluble support
22:46
material and the ability to make 3D
22:48
objects out of this means we'd be able
22:51
to take stuff off the plate and get rid
22:53
of 90% of that post-processing that we
22:56
hate in resin printing. But even with
22:58
what this is now, I'm blown away. The
23:00
truth is, Yuimate didn't just make a
23:02
clever concept. They nailed it in the
23:04
same way they nailed some big elements
23:06
of their M5 series. The focus on user
23:09
experience means you're not learning a
23:11
new hobby just to use it. You're free to
23:14
create. Just sit there, think of
23:16
something. You load it in, and the
23:18
machine actually gets out of your way,
23:20
and the software helps you make the
23:21
thing you've thought of. But yes, there
23:23
are still things to keep an eye on.
23:25
Software polish, ongoing updates, and
23:28
making sure they don't slip into the
23:30
slower dev pace that hurt them when they
23:32
were anchor. But the way they've already
23:34
been interacting in the beta user
23:36
Discord server is already miles ahead of
23:38
how most brands treat paying customers.
23:41
I've got to be honest with you, this is
23:43
the most fun I've had with a new piece
23:45
of tech in a long time. And what I love
23:48
is that this isn't just another
23:50
incremental update pretending to be
23:52
innovation. It's a big swing and it's
23:55
already connected. So, if you came into
23:57
this video looking to answer the
23:59
question, should I buy it? Well, if
24:01
you've made it this far, you probably
24:03
already know the answer. And let's be
24:05
fair, you probably already knew that at
24:07
the start. But if you do buy it and this
24:09
video was helpful, I would love it if
24:11
you'd use my affiliate link in the
24:13
description or pinned comment because it
24:15
costs you nothing, but it earns me a
24:17
commission and that's what helps me keep
24:19
making videos like this instead of
24:20
selling my soul to brands who'd rather I
24:22
just read their press releases. The UI
24:24
E1 isn't perfect. Nothing is. But I've
24:28
got to be honest, this is probably the
24:29
closest I've seen any product come. And
24:32
it's still in beta. I genuinely can't
24:35
wait to see where this goes from here.
24:37
And this is a product that is not going
24:39
to leave my office anytime soon. I love
24:42
it. I want to say thanks for watching.
24:44
And a huge thanks goes to our members
24:46
who are on screen now. They get Discord
24:48
rolls, early access, and exclusive
24:50
videos. Please consider joining them.
24:52
That's also a great way to support the
24:54
channel. We also accept super thanks.
24:56
And if you want, I'll do one of them buy
24:58
me a coffee things. But anyway, I want
25:00
to say until next time. The scientists
25:02
were so preoccupied with whether or not
25:04
they could, they didn't stop to think
25:06
whether or not they should. And if those
25:07
scientists are the people at Yuimake,
25:09
I'm glad they didn't. Keep doing stuff
25:11
like this. Anyway, until next time,
