William Osman wants to make the animated cards he dreamed about as a child. First, though, his workshop demonstration has to share screen time with a farm problem: two roosters need a new home.
That combination makes "making my childhood dream with only a printer" more than a hardware test. William shows Kevin and Sandra an experimental lenticular card of Mark Rober, then works through the alignment and printing needed to make images change as the viewing angle shifts. Kevin finds another use for the equipment, showing a working TV remote circuit board made using printed UV ink as an acid-resistant mask. The video is sponsored by xTool.
Between workshop sessions, William and Kevin discuss what to do with the troublesome birds, catch them after dark and take them to a rescue sanctuary. Viewers are talking about the episode's sitcom-like structure, the running phone-call scene and the delayed sound effects, details that give the practical project its comic company.
The printer upload is the most watched of William Osman 2's two new videos, with roughly 323,000 views. "my biggest failures as a homeowner" is drawing more views per day now, while September's "Pro's wanted $20,000 so I did it myself" remains active behind both.
Across the channel, the week brought roughly 703,000 views and an unchanged subscriber count. Daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Nearby in the DIY world, Fab Rats had a growing audience and a busier viewing week; William's week stayed closer to home, with printing experiments, homeowner failures and poultry transport on the same schedule.

What viewers say
William has now mastered the sitcom formula. The 30 minute length, side characters and cutaways, and an A and B storyline that wrap up neatly.
