The content-vs-time density for this video is extremely high and it was a pleasure to watch all of the video. I print in PLA rather than ABS right now so the video isn't directly applicable to my life but it's nice to see somebody working on the designs. Cheers to the author!

I would recommend PETG instead of ABS next. It is easier to print, the fumes don't smell as bad and it is a very impressive material mechanically

Not only do ABS fumes smell bad, they can actually be quite dangerous. I believe PETG is much safer in that regard.
