Creality K2 Plus Patreon preview
During my break, I made sure to get testing for this underway. Then all of the Bambu drama happened, so a test on an alternative will be timely.Here is an exclusive behind the scenes video of my testing so far. It prints PLA really well, and will do PETG and ASA well with an appropriate bed. TPU was...
Merry Christmas 2024 + 2025
Dear Patrons,Thank you for another great year. As the video mentions, your support is vital to me and my channel is multiple ways. Whether you're a patron for a day or for years, I really appreciate your support.One thing I forgot to mention in the video. I hope to make more behind the scenes vi...

Announcing a 2nd channel!
Dear Patrons,This has been in works for about half a year. I just had to be really patient in waiting for some things to sell. In the video above, I explain all of this, exactly what the new channel is and how it will impact Teaching Tech.A reminder that everything happens in our forum, including TT...

Dear Patrons,I just wanted to wish you all a safe and restful holidays and new year. Teaching Tech has just turned five years old, with three of them working full time. This wouldn't be possible without your generous support, which I really appreciate.A reminder that all of the action happens on...

Dear Patrons,Christmas day is coming to a close in Aus and I guess it's about to start for those of you in the Americas. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe holidays and New Year. Unfortunately the world is still a crazy place so I hope you are able to spend time with loved ones, or ...
TT videos now early and ad free!

Feedback wanted for upcoming video: What do you want in future 3D printers?
I’m tired of manufacturers contacting me to review cut-price clone 3D printers. These are typically Ender 3 clones with filament runout, a colour display, silent steppers, and sometimes ABL. All welcome features but in the end these printers are almost the same.I’m interested in innovation from ...

As such, personal messaging on Discourse have been enabled so you do not have to publicly...
Snapmaking 2.0 unboxing and setup - Behind the scenes
Dear Patrons,This week on working on a 3018 CNC upgrade video but I've also commenced work on the Snapmaker 2.0 review. This is the A350 model, top of the range and so far I'm stupidly impressed. As far as a polished, nice to look at and pleasure to use piece of tech goes, it's as good a...
Merry Christmas, Q&A, what's to come and thank you

Teaching Tech x Mighty Car Mods
Dear Patrons,I'm writing to give notice that the Partner's Hangout 1 for November will be moved from the 3rd to the 10th, because I will be out most of this week assisting on a build for Mighty Car Mods.If you are unaware of this channel, they are fellow Aussies that have exploded in popular...
Thank you and what's to come
Dear Patrons,Thanks for your kind responses after my post this week. I believe YouTube has a rule in the works on creator harassment and I think this may be a good example of that. It would be easy to make a comprehensive video with some facts that completely cleared my name but that would bring him...
He's back
Dear Patrons,My old friend DPT is at it again. Previously, we had this: https://www.patreon.com/posts/31004592Now this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-h3jdD3bF0His points:- I make two videos a week because I have my students do all of the research and grunt work on each video. Then complete the o...
Creality 32 bit mainboard guide preview
Dear Patrons,As I started to make the requested Ender 3 V2 BLtouch guide this week, it became clear there is a lot of confusion over the new Creality V4 32 bit boards (for me too). Creality have actually started shipping Ender 3s with this as standard recently, and there is also a silent V4.2.7 boar...
New delta project: Tevo Little Monster + other upcoming stuff
Dear Patrons,It has been rightly suggested that I don't have much delta printer content on the channel. I have only ever featured the Monoprice Mini Delta and beyond that back when I was a teacher we built an enormous HE3D K280 delta with my STEAM group.Since then, I have been looking for anothe...
Feedback wanted on 3D printer calibration website
Dear Patrons,Chris (Magruder13) had a popular suggestion in our forum. A 3D printer calibration summary/checklist video to avoid the need to go through many older videos: https://teachingtech.discourse.group/t/calibration-summary-video/774Rather than just rehash what I've already done my aim was...
Ender 3 V2 vs BIQU B1
Dear Patrons,The Ender 3 V2 has finally arrived, and I'll be testing it against the BIQU B1, which is like an Ender 3 clone with BTT upgrades already fitted. Expect a first impressions video in the next week or so with a full side by side review at a later date. If there is anything specific you...
RepRap firmware on SKR V1.4
Dear Patrons,A little something I've been working on following this blog post and the links within: https://www.jayuk.org/compiling-and-running-reprapfirmware-on-an-skr-1-4-and-other-lp17xx-boards/RepRap firmware is found on Duet 3D boards, which are quite expensive. There is now a port of RRF t...
Creality CR-6 SE questions please
Dear Patrons,The CR-6 SE from Creality arrived. Are there any questions about it you would like answered in the video?Michael
Palette 2 gets a second chance - behind the scenes
Dear Patrons,I've been testing the Palette 2 'S' upgrade kit non stop over the last few days to see if it makes the product more reliable than before. My experience was pretty consistent with what I saw on their forums, where half of the users were nailing awesome prints and the other ha...
New end credits
Dear Patrons,I've finally found some time to properly fix the end credits. You may have noticed they had gotten really fast to fit the names in. Previously I made the font smaller to assist this, but now I've removed my face and doubled to four columns so every name should be on screen for t...
Upcoming content + fast internet
Dear Patrons,Just a quick update video on some upcoming content. I know two of these have been discussed here and I imagine the kay3d coreXY kit will be of great interest too.I am really excited by my new internet connection. My upload speed has been 0.8 Mbits, which means 5-6 hours upload time over...
Discourse is official + return of internet
Dear Patrons,I have updated the pledge tiers, page description and welcome message with details of the Discourse forum and some instructions around that.Please note, it is Discourse (a message board), not Discord (chat). Please see the screenshot for reference.The Teaching Tech Discourse forum can b...
Prusa Mini
Dear Patrons,Firstly, the discourse message board is starting to gather momentum. It is far superior to the community section or messages here. You can drag and drop multimedia onto the screen for a start, no need to upload elsewhere and link. Any links you do post get the automatic preview too. Fro...
How to update Marlin config files/BLtouch changes + Discourse launch!
Dear Patrons,I've had no internet for a couple of weeks now, surviving on mobile phone hot spots. It's been challenging to say the least and a far cry from the new and fast NBN that was meant to happen at the start of the month. Still going to be a week until I'm back online properly, an...
New Intro and Discourse updates
Dear Patrons,Thanks for the feedback on the last post. My main take home points:- People like the sound of the tier structure- But only if it's not onerous and detracting from my time and impacting videos.I'd just like to reassure that I proposed those tiers as an improvement in my current w...
Restructure: Feedback wanted
Dear Patrons,Now that the family have gone back to school doing this full time is sinking in. Thanks to all of your for your generous support and making it possible. It's time to move things along with the previously mentioned restructure. A summary of the video:$1 tierName in the credits, behin...
New Ender 3 thermal runaway? - The answer is yes!
Ordered a new Ender 3 from the Creality to help me film some mods where I don't want to change my current one from the config it's in.Picked the Australian website and it came in half a week. Good start.Today I will be assembling it for a beginner's first 3D printer video.My question is:...
