You are so lovely sharing this! I am hoping to do the same in the initial stages getting some files sorted before I buy a 3d printer and take the leap. Excited to see you succeed! 🙂🙂
good luck for your future
Keep up the good work! I'm still trying my self to get mine going. I am just having a hard time coming up with the right things / projects to sell.
Good luck Ryan. From your uncle jp
Heyhey, nice video, its interesting to watch someone from the start, can you do a video on how you price your products? I know there are videos from other youtubers but its interesting to see it from a start-up business perspective 😁
Keep it up! Loving the videos!
Glad you enjoy what you are doing 75%of the battle wish you success
Thank you so much! :)
Hello. What platform you use for sale?
Mainly Etsy, but I started a Shopify store last month that has gotten one sale!
Hi there, good an informative Video. Looking forward for the next one. Btw....can you share the stl file of your A1 AMS lite Holder ? I'm looking forward to find some who is stable an don't mess up or ending in loosing a filamant spool. Also I would be interested in the poop basket that you have. It's a space saver and would be handy for my setup. Thanks in advance and all the best for your business. Best regards Reimar
Thanks for checking it out! Absolutely, I actually combined two different models. The first model was this one (makerworld.com/en/models/92486?from=search#profileId-100105) and I used the braces, C' clamps and tube guides. I had some wobbling issues, so I found a better bracket for the AMS lite itself and printed this (makerworld.com/en/models/375535?from=search#profileId-275442) to swap out with the bracket from the original model. Has been working great! Also, here is the poop basket as well: makerworld.com/en/models/688468?from=search#profileId-618469
@@DesignsByBrodhead Wow you are superfast in answering commets. Cheers for that and, of course, thank you for your advice. I will try it out asap. So keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to see new vids from you. :)
Hey man, I'm from Brazil! I liked the content of your video! Congrats
Thanks for checking it out! Appreciate you!
Glad to find your channel! I'll be watching pretty close too! Loved watching the Cadets for DCI! Y'all put on a show! Wishing you great success from a fellow marching band alumni from Central Michigan Marching Chips!
Thank you so much! I was lucky enough to march with the corps from 2015-2017. Was the best time of my life, and I miss it everyday! So was an easy decision when I wanted to design something to honor them. Thanks for checking it out and GO BAND!
Hi Ryan. Just a heads up: I highly suggest to consider the ventilation situation of your office/printing space. Having 3 printers this close to you in the same space isn't optimal. Make sure you think about this, good l;uck with your business. Stay safe while you're having fun :-)
Thanks for the comment! I have been trying to figure out what I can do with this new space; you can't see it in the video but I actually have an air purifier at the base of the racks the printers are on and behind the camera I have a fan oscillating around the room to keep air flowing. That and keeping the window open have helped, but I definetley will need to either figure out better ventilation or put them in the basement, Lol
Congrats on the house and your great shop start! One thing I noticed: you seem to have no specific ventilation measures in your office/printing space. I recommend you do this asap. Having 3 printers working 24/7 in an office of that size with you in it needs an air purifying or ventilation upgrade at minimum. Stay safe and enjoy your adventure!
Great first vlog, we are getting into 3D printing a bit more for storage solutions for our Lego reselling business. Has been cool to see some of the processes and the filament rack is awesome!
Thanks so much for checking it out! I got the filament rack on Amazon for about $50 on sale I believe, and it has worked great and it stows away in the closet out of sight really well which I like!
I envy you a bit that you just do it. I always have so many doubts and get discouraged by the bureaucracy here in Germany. I gave up my Etsy store because of that. I'm looking forward to my P1S. With my Creality printer, the whole thing was also just a stroke of luck with how reliably I can print. Maybe I'll sit down with my wife and design a few nice things to sell. I wish you all the best and good luck!
Taken awhile for me to get to this point and a lot of years of caring waaay too much of what others think, so I totally get it. I think you should do what makes you happy, and anyone that doesn't like that for you doesn't deserve to be in your life anyway! Go for it homie!
@@DesignsByBrodhead Yes, you're absolutely right. Sometimes we get in our own way. Why not. Just do it.
Congratulations on your 3D Printing Business Journey! I'm about to give it a try myself just doing some research. Best of luck to you! I also subscribed to your channel!
Thank you so much for watching! :) go for it!!!!
Since watching your first vid i've completely changed my thinking on how to operate and what to sell. Very inspiring stuff grats on the success
Love that we can both learn from each other -- thanks homie!
Are you doing mostly artistic stuff with the coasters and what not? I'd love to do what you're doing but I'm not artistic. I've thought of more practical prints but I don't know how well they'll sell. Thanks for sharing.
I would say definitely more artistic but they are still functional as coasters. I started with the idea because the drum & bugle corps I was a part of disbanded and I came to the realization that that would mean one day, no more merchandise or souvenirs would exist for them. That upset me, so I figured I would try and design something to honor the drum corps but could add functionality to other alumni's lives. Then it turned it what else I could design -- snare drum coasters, christmas coasters, etc. If you can make people smile when they look at something and it also have a use, its a win-win in my book. Thanks for the comment! :)
Just found your channel and subscibed. Nice video and glad your turning it into a business. I have just started 3d printing in September. Now went to my fourth festival yesterday and now have 4 printers. I need to see what to do for 2025. I mainly print figurines of animals, dinos and sea creatures.
That's awesome, keep it up! Thanks for checking the video out!
How long did it take for you to get your first sale and wat do you sell?
I got my first sale within a few days of opening my shop, and they were for custom coasters for the drum & bugle corps I was in!
Have you ran into any issues with the air vent in your room disrupting your non-enclosed printer?
@@malonecustomdesigns to be honest, we moved into this house less than a week ago and you noticed that vent there before I did, Lol. But as of today, I haven’t noticed any issues 🤞
@@DesignsByBrodhead Great.....to be honest...I didn't notice one...I just assumed there would be one lol. That is one of the reasons that I am considering a second X1C over the A1.....but maybe that won't be an issue for me either!!
😂 love it. I was thinking about getting one of the enclosed models from Bambu but with the BF sale, I was able to get the second A1 combo and A1 mini for less than the P1S
@@DesignsByBrodhead $489 right now for the combo.....hmmm I'm really considering trying it.
It is phenomenal, truly!
Excited to be part of the journey!
Thankful to have you be a part of it!

Great idea! I am a doofus!
A1 or A1 mini :) ?
Tough one for me -- I love the A1 combo but I truly think the A1 mini is a gamechanger for anyone looking to get into 3D printing either as a beginner or on a budget. Very user friendly, ready to print out of the box, and small footprint. I love both!
I notice at 3:51 you take the build plate off and appear to clean it. What are you cleaning it with? Can you tell me the cleaning solution and even the brush you use? I have been having adhesions issues.. thanks!
So after about 4-5 consecutive prints, I will just clean the build plate off with hot water and some dawn dish soap. But in between prints, I like to use a little spray bottle of Isopropyl alcohol with a brush tool I found on printables. It allows me to fit a microfiber cloth to it so I can just rub it on the build plate to clean any debris or dust before the next print. I don't use a lot of isopropyl either, just a tiny spray from the bottle to spread on the plate. Hope this helps!
@@DesignsByBrodhead Thank you and I am excited to follow your journey :)
Try WIndex spray.
next step is etsy for me....
Do it! :)
Same, I've been stressed by what to sell but I've taken last few months to design a few things and subscribe to a few patreons for a few commercial licensed models and am going to start there just to get sales and bring in shoppers for my personal designs. Best of luck to you!
really like your videos, thanks for uploading! just one thing: it would be awesome if you can keep the camera steady 🙂
Thank you! I am trying to work on it, damn chair swivels so much and the gimbal I use has a locking feature on my face, Lol. Thank you!
Enjoying your video's. Good luck and keep up the good work. Looking forward to watching your journey.
Thank you!
Good job, thanks for sharing. All the best. One question, if your coasters are PLA aren’t you concerned about someone placing a hot drink on it and warping it?
Thanks for the comment and for watching! I was worried about that at first, but honestly after having myself and my family test them for a few weeks before selling, they haven't warped at all. I am wonder if it's because I am using 20% gyroid infill so its stronger? But I have used it on all different mugs, cups, Yeti's etc and haven't had an issue. But I did think I would at first!
Thanks for sharing, I will be watching. I have purchased a few printers this month and am considering an attempt at monetizing, just not sure how to get started.
All it takes is a few ideas, some good photos and an Etsy shop! You should definitely at least post them and see what works IMO. Nothing to lose!
Awesome! New subscriber here! Happy to have you pop up in my feed. We own a laser engraving business with a brick-and-mortar store. I also have a Bambu X1C that I have been printing on for over a year. Most of the prints have been given away to kids in the store, kids at church, and family! However, I have sold enough to more than pay for the printer. And especially right now, my printer is running around the clock pretty much. I am just now to the point of adding a second printer. I have considered the A1 since I mostly print PLA. But I really like the camera on the X1C since the printer is at the store and I can watch from home! I am also considering creating a separate website and business name, to sell my 3D prints on Shopify and possibly Etsy. I am not a designer, so my prints are from files that I have purchased commercial rights to. Mostly dragons, axolotls, and other creatures. I just think it will be too much to add them all to our regular business website. I would love any input you have on that. Looking forward to following your journey on here!
Thanks for watching and the comment! I think you should absolutely create a separate spot for your 3D printed products! You could even leave links to either shop in one another depending on what people visiting are looking for. Thanks again!
Hey I'm documenting my 3D print journey too! I'm a complete newb showing all the things that keep going wrong for me, lol ..great video, keep it up! The 3D community is so helpful here on youtube! 😀
I have watched some of your videos before! Thank you so much for watching and for the support :)
Congrats on your success and your UA-cam channel. I am a fellow Etsy seller and been at it for over three years. I’m up to 13 printers. It becomes like a second full time job, but since it’s also a hobby, you would not mind it. Remember these days and how you started since it will change fast once you have a couple of hit products. Your customers will give you ideas and you will have more and more products. I’m sure you will be successful. Well done.
Thanks so much for the comment, means the world! I can't believe how much I have learned and grown in the last 4 months, I can only imagine how much better it can get from here. Very exciting and just a great place to be in. Thanks for watching!
Hi, what slicer do you use for creality 3d printer you have ?.
I mainly use Creality Print 5.1, but I did use Orca for a week or so when Creality Print was giving me configuration issues with filament.
i just started too... i have a p1s and an anycubic kobra ne0 2... it's a fun hobby.. just got some diff colors of filament and have some designs i made and will start printing those on monday. Nice to meet ya so to speak
Nice to meet you as well, what a fun hobby is right! Thanks for watching!
Excited to see this on my feed, will subscribe and follow your progress, I would like to do this as well but don’t have the courage to do it
Thank you! I totally get that, I went back and forth about doing this for a while. I got to the point where I realized I have nothing to lose. My advice - GO FOR IT!
So glad to see this on my feed. Thank you for sharing your journey and looking forward to watching your business and UA-cam Channel, grow. Subbed 🎉
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support :)
How do you setup a pick up for outgoing orders? Or do you take them to a drop off location?
Also congrats on everything man, dope setup/house!
Thanks for your comment! I actually just posted another vlog addressing this a bit in detail, but in short, Etsy makes it really easy when you complete an order through them to set it up through USPS!
Congratulations on both starting a business and also the new house. Remember to always keep it fun!
Thank you! Really appreciate it.
Hey man! Id put your etsy in your description!
I meant too and completely forgot - thank you!
CLEAN. Grats on the new house as well. 🤝
BRO! Thank yo so much, really appreciate the support!

Please tell me you have finals 2016 and 2017
Might be able to find them. I know the 2016 & 2017 Semi-Finals Percussion tapes are somewhere on UA-cam. Not too sure if we ever received the Finals tapes or if we were only given them listen to on the bus, can’t remember.
