About

ALL VIEWERS AND BRANDS, PLEASE BE AWARE OF SCAMMERS!!! 1. Our channel will NOT proactively contact brands to request machines or collaborations. If anyone claims to be us and approaches your brand, that is a SCAM. 2. We do NOT host lucky draws. If someone pretends to be us and claims you’ve won something, that is a SCAM. We are Aurora and Helios. We started this channel in February 2021 and create videos about 3D printers, laser engravers, and CNC machines. Every machine we review follows our strict review policy, whether sponsored or not. We do not submit drafts, read bullet points, or sign agreements that restrict our content. We only share honest opinions based on firsthand experience. Brands must respect this policy, or their machines will not appear on our channel. Visit our website for Aurora’s recommendation list. We select only the one machine per category we would personally buy. https://auroratechchannel.com
