I find it funny that you were surprised at the total you are spending. Personally, I think a lot of that is unnecessary spending, but if it works for your business then good for you.
Every time I see videos from this channel I can not stop thinking that I am in alternative reality where JOHN TRAVOLTA quit acting got 30 years younger and started a youtube channel about 3D printing LOL. I am sure you get that a lot LOL Staying Alive!
Did you do (or can you) a video on total startup costs? Understandably, it will be scaled to the size of print farm, but just curious for a ballpark figure.
I'm running 9 machines. I try to bulk edit text as much as I can. I think a reasonable time is probably 2 min or less (For what I'm printing I can do sets of 5 in 2 min). Really depends on what your selling though and if the product can afford paying for your labor and how much of labor.
Really wish there was a viable alternative to Fusion 360. Sure there are other options but they all either feel clunky as heck and something that should've died in the 1990s, or have obscene license fees.

i spent 1200 euro's to get a single 500 euro printer to work and it sort of printed decent for about 5 days but i had issues with the quality it put out so i tried to fix that with the help of all these youtubers, but now it turned into a non functional printer like every time i try to improve the results. undoing the changes i made only makes it worse, which leaves me lost for where to look to solve it all. i bought it to make some money but so far i spent over 2k on printer, hardware and loads of filament to try and get it to print proper quality.
Sorry to hear that. I'm switched to Bambu Labs printers and haven't looked back. Tinkering with slicer settings and first layer hight, flow, etc is a thing of the past for me.

@@3dDesignBros after the mess i've experienced i'm not risking spending another big amount no matter how many people tell me it's safe, that's how i ended up in 3d printing to begin with. I'm just gonna get rid of it and stick to working my boring job and eating my meals and going to bed.
Depends on search volume for my keywords for my listings that I have advertised. In slow months it may be is little as $25/day. Right now around Christmas my cap is$300/day and I usually end the day around $200-250. IF search volume increases though and i start to hit the $300 cap then I will pump it up.
I like owning my own software. If everybody would stick together this garbage of paying month by month or year by year would stop. At over $500 a year that crap adds up very quickly. I use about 20 to 30 different programs that I paid for. All are perpetual license. You can always find another program with a perpetual license that is just as good as the ones that have monthly or yearly licensing.
It was actually determined that Perpetual License software ended up costing the user ~20% of the first initial cost each year to keep the software updated, get new features, etc. I'm not saying that still isn't a better deal, but software's are getting better all the time if you want the newest features I think you end up paying wether its monthly or in "upgrade" or "Maintenance" fees.
@@3dDesignBros Wrong!!! The difference is once you buy the software it's yours. A lot of software really can't be improved that much. An example would be Adobe Acrobat reader. And most programs fall into the same category. If you do the math most of the time a perpetual license will be cheaper in the long run then a monthly or yearly license.
What is your "Can't Live Without App" ?
Mile IQ tracks and automates my business driving mileage for tax deductions.
Thanks for mentioning the Fusion 360 startup license! That is a huge deal for me.
+1 for the All In Podcast!
Its the best!

HAHA Can honestly say I've NEVER gotten that...but I'll take it. Thats awesome!
Love this
like other expenses elektricity ? machine maintanence ? print material ?
Nice informative video, what is your overall profit goals on a 23k month? Im assuming that involves a big chunk of advertising cost?
Yes we probably spent ~$5k on advertising costs. We are right around 60% profit margin.
I juts downloaded the free version of fusion it is a bit limited in features but it can do the job

Actually working on a 2024 start up cost video now! should be out in the coming week.
@3dDesignBros Excellent! I'm looking forward to it. I am leaning towards the Bambu X1 Carbon for the machines.
apple devices come with a calendar app
How many machines are you running and how long is a reasonable time to customize a print, text only?
I'm running 9 machines. I try to bulk edit text as much as I can. I think a reasonable time is probably 2 min or less (For what I'm printing I can do sets of 5 in 2 min). Really depends on what your selling though and if the product can afford paying for your labor and how much of labor.

You're so close now. You have no idea. If you can return the bambu printer for a full refund, try it
How much do you pay for etsy adds?

@@3dDesignBros $300 Per day?
I'll be bankrupt before I even get started with all these software overhead.
