I work in custom battery pack manufacturing, we 3d print prototype parts and cases. Recently i decided to start printing more and print from home. Ive begun printing work fixtures and custom tools for building specific custom batteries. We have a printer at work but last month i decided to buy an ender3s1plus, in 1 week of design and print i paid for the printer. I can easily make 400$ /week by designing custom fixtures for our batteies which are always changing due to the custom nature of our shop. Rather than working overtime and printing at work i offered to work from home and print overnight and on weekends. Im making an extra 400 for about 10 hours of design and 10 hours of printing in addition to my full time production management. Im in a unique spot where my job needs to buy many prints a week and since im there anyways i can take the buisness, if not for my interest in printing all of that work would be sold off to other printers. My point is, get creative, and do custom work. If a company makes new things every week they usually need new tools and fixtures every week too.
Thanks for sharing, that sounds like a great position to be in. What material are you printing in just out of interest?
@@jcracoustics materials vary, for simple go/no go gauge ill use pla, work fixtures in carbon pla or carbon petg, and custom battery cases in carbon petg.
Lmao I’m 90% sure you work with me and that is not how it goes…. Plus no go out of any pla is a joke. Can’t get the specs needed to actually be approved by any company or compliant.
@@JeffCollins-pc5cv im quite sure we dont work together . Pla is perfectly acceptable for most no go gauges that i need. We use calipers and microscopes on small parts when needed but the no go is used for fully assembled packs usually with pretty forgiving tolerences. Example, If a pack is a circular shape and the customer drawing says 3 inch diameter +/- 1/8inch, you better believe im printing that gauge out of pla. The gauges are inspected before use then used daily for a while then remeasured for calibration and replaced if any signs of wear. We shipped over 4000 packs in the last 12 months and no returns for anything size related, pla rules.
What packs are you making that pla is a acceptable material??? Pla warps and dents. No actual company would be happy with such gauges. Iv worked plenty with fisker, Chevy and Tesla and if pla got brought up you would laughed out of an engineering job lol. Don’t get me wrong we 3d printed Aton of prototype parts to be used with dummy packs but pla doesn’t belong in a quality stand point. Maybe these tinker toy companies making rc car packs

People will always find away. Make that product massive 😂
Thank you very much for this video! This is a new hobby that I want to try to start my own brand with. Looking forward to watch the rest of your videos. This was very educational!
Thanks for watching and good luck starting your own brand!
any updates?
Love it! 😄😄
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thanks Stefan! 👍
love from México. thx for the video.
Muchas gracias! Thanks for watching!
You did the USA one absolutely correctly my friend 🤣🤣
Curious what you did for business insurance given the speakers were a mix of electronics pieces. What sort of warranty did you have when selling the diy items? Thanks in advanced, great video!
Thanks for watching! I didn’t have any kind of set warranty. If a customer had an issue on a part I’d just send out a replacement FOC but I didn’t really have any problems.
can you tell me what i should charge per ounce or per pound of fillament for my 3d printing model business. ? i plan on just weighing the models and charging by weight. thank you.
When you set up the g-code it should give you the amount used. Should be easy to calculate from there.
Exactly what Liesure Lee said but I would also factor in the hours to print as your energy cost is another cost.
hello. Thanks for the detailed and great video. My question is how much do you or did you earn while doing this 3D printing business. How much did you earn when at lowest and how much was the profit at the peak. Yet again thanks for the video def liked and subscribed ☺
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I'm not currently selling at the moment since I've been travelling. Prices are available on my website still and at my peak I sold perhaps 10 in a week.
Interesting video! Also I like a lot your acting (or how do you call it in english )where you make a joke ! More of it please ;)
Hahah, thanks for the comment! I suppose you could call it acting (or trying at least haha). Will be sure to get more of it in future videos. I have a new video being uploaded today so be sure to check it out!
@@jcracoustics Nice!
great input man, thanks for the tips. However i would like to give you the advice to check your sound levels of a video before releasing it. Your voice is quite low in volume to your background music effects. peace!
Help with advice please - I want to sell finished printed items that I have designed. I do have the marketing skills and have an online presence. I don't have time to run a print farm, I need to keep control of the STL the only way I can see this happening is if I get a 3rd party to print and post each order to the customer for me. Does anyone know if such a service exists and is it worthwhile? I know of shapeways, Craft cloud, cults 3d, my mini factory & ch trader but don't know how they operate. I appreciate all feedback and comments. Thanks
Share your 3D printing business ideas below!
I'm thinking about being a straight hustler and going to businesses and ask if they need any parts for the low
Not a bad idea, if you go that route I’d suggest putting a small portfolio of stuff together you’ve done before to make you appear more reputable to those companies 👍
Thats a good idea. I work at a company that uses many printed parts every week. I took over the printing because i enjoy it and its good money, but if it wasnt me it could be you. Look up local manufacturing shops, there is constant need for things both custom and generic.
So the gist of this is I’m selling stl files because it makes more money then running the machine daily (can vouch for this I sell laser engraving files and make a fuck ton from this)
ay bruh if u leavin 3d printin u gotta gimme oine XD all jokes aside i found this verrx helpfull, i have been researching a lot so i can start up my bussines as a 14 year old, u explain it verry well and its easy to understand, thank you for your hard work in the printing comunity, u truly have helped me.
Hahah too late it’s sat in storage now 😂. Thanks man and good luck starting early, you’ll be massively ahead of the game when you’re 18 if you keep it up 👍
@@jcracoustics im 14 rn and starting out selling butterfly knives in school 5$ a piece they cost me 1$ to make, rn my printer is broken but my friends dad is gonna fix it and i can continue selling, thanks for the support man
Does or can your 3D printer teach you to write and use English properly
Invest in some schooling instead of knifes while your there
That might have been one of the most American thing's I've ever seen actually.
