Polymaker has offered to sponsor my channel!

They don’t expect me to change anything—they just want to support my research. This likely means more Polymaker filament tests (amount of other brands will not be reduced) and using their materials in project videos.

But your opinion matters to me. Do you think my filament tests would still be unbiased? Or does havi...

About Tullomer filament

I just finished the online meeting with Z-Polymers. The subject was: Tullomer filament. Before they send me the filament, they want to test it using my test objects. But don't worry, if they decide not to send it to me, I will buy it, because I am curious about it myself (even if it is 500$/k...
