I just came across your channel! I like your setup and how your online presence is setup And you are licensing from model makers, so you're supporting them nicely! I've seen a lot of folks selling 3D prints online and most are not licensed. Its the wild west out there and I'm curious how you handle customers wanting stuff that's got some IP (Marvel, Star Wars, etc)
glow in the dark filaments are abrasive to the nozzle and extruder gear on the stock p1s. make sure you order the harden steel (bambu X1C) versions of those when you replace those on your next maintenance
Thanks, Macy. I really enjoy your videos. I’ve recently retired and I’m having a lot of fun printing with my FF Finder 3. I’ve also designed and printed a few things; nothing complicated. Im hoping to get a Bambu printer soon, maybe a P1P. I’ll keep watching! R
1st, I made a joke about if you taught math for 6 yrs, you must have started when you were 12! LOL 2nd, thanks for the mention! I'm so honored to have air time in a Macy video! Always glad to offer any advice I can...small payback for all the inspiration you've given me. If I can get to 1/10th of where you are, I'd be thrilled! I do have 6 orders in the queue for the product I have designed...so ever so slowly! Finally, another amazing video! I always enjoy them so much!
Hahaha I’m glad I look younger than my actual age :) I started teaching at 22. And I had to give you a shoutout. You’ve been commenting since the start and I appreciate you being here!
Id love to see Macy’s opinion on Creality’s K2 Machine and would you be interested in this machine or as a Bambu Printist are you opposed to this new machine and would wait for Bambu to make a larger machine, or do you not need or want that size.
I love being called a printist 😂 I’m willing to try out other printers but the bambus will be hard to beat. I’m super excited to see what they’re cooking up for their next release.
is elegoo's 10kg package PLA series the best value for your bucks right now? I can't find any better offers, and their filament has been treating my printer very well :)
Thanks for your videos, I have picked up some excellent tips from you. I have just started using a printer for prototyping my designs. Which Gorilla glue are you using to glue your printed parts together? I am using Bambu PLA for my models. Trying to figure out which glue is best 😊 BTW: I moved from Adobe Illustrator to Affinity Design. It is a one time cost and really affordable. Helped reduce my monthly software cost. Thanks for sharing all your discoveries.
Hey! Do you have any special setting for your P1S's? Your top layers are looking really good - I can't acheave that quality level on my prints. Any tips? Tx!
I agree with your subscriber Dave about the the extra supports. Having done lots of construction myself it's better to be safe than sorry. Last thing you want is for 1 bracket to come loose and it all comes crashing down. Question, on your desk about between your monitors what is that small console that had lots of lit up buttons on them?
I used to order the Bambu Matte black but I had complaints at how brittle it was. Sure enough, it's much weaker than non matte filaments. However, I still liked the look of the matte so I experimented a bit, I found that Sunlu filaments can be printed at 210c and they look matte, without losing strength. Give it a try if you have problems with the bambu matte. Also, PLA+ filaments print matte on the bambu printers.
Macy, I love the look of the Bambu matte black, but it sticks to my plate like it was superglued on there. Do you have this problem too? If so, how do you get it off the plate when it is done?
I keep my plate at 55 for bambu matte pla and it sticks well but not too much. If I don’t let it cool it’ll leave a film on the bottom but a blast of heat from the mini torch and it looks good again.
I see you struggle with the 'right' color. I just picked up an X1C, with the intent of 3D printing window box layered SVGs primarily designed for papercraft (your recent wreath video set my mind in motion). The 6 to 18 layers using gradient / progression colors for the window box construction has me on the hunt for physical or digital color swatches. I've only been able to find the physical Bambu color swatches (but my local MicroCenter does not stock Bambu filament). How does a startup printer buy only the correct color - without buying every spool of every color by every brand?
They recently changed the spool design. Old spools I loved and had no issues, but the new design is causing some issues so I printed some ring adapters and everything is running smooth again. Easy fix.
I was wondering the same. I have run a few cardboard spools through mine but some of the ones I purchased recently have damages rims and I'm worried they won't retract properly. They are ESUN spools and they have the notch so I was hoping they were the same as the Bambu Lab refill spools. I tore one apart and of course it has a smaller core so I can't use a reusable Bambu spool. I haven't had much luck with the spool adapters so far so I may have to look into respooling them.
Ive never really had too many problems, just an occasional snag, but recently I’ve started printing some of the spool rings just to be safe. No issues at all since adding the rings.
I try to design/print things with minimal color changes to try and minimize the chance of error, but besides that there’s not much I can do. Just keep things clean and hope for the best haha
I design everything in my Etsy shop. My Shopify store has some minis that I get from Zou3d patreon, and I’m the USA fulfillment for miniRX so you’ll see that on there as well.
Everything in my etsy shop is my own design. On my shopify store I have the miniRX products that I handle fulfillment for, and then I have some of the Zou3D minis on there as well which are the only files I've bought with the intention of selling.
Lol I think you are misunderstanding which prints she is using for personal use vs selling, easy mistake and maybe your comment could be readdressed after a quick rewatch to clarify 😅
@@macymakes3d Instead of printing plugs for the vertebrae it is quite easy to even use stl or 3mf files as input to FreeCad, and close up the holes. I know FreeCAD has a bit of a threshold to get into, but it is very useful and powerful, and, very very free ... For a one off I'd use a weekly build of FreeCAD, comes with upsides. And on that note, Illustrator ain't that easy either, or it's just me. (yes, onshape is based on freecad, just not free ...)
Thanks for watching :) Sorry for the weird camera quality/focus issues... I'm working on it!

How come you didn’t fill the holes before printing instead of doing the caps?
Barbells plates would sit on your existing (or additional) filament racks.
Awesome job. So happy that you are crushing it with your sales. Thanks for sharing
Thank you :) glad you’re part of the journey!
The Elegoo Rapid PLA+ and Rapid PETG can both print at 600 mm/s if you need to speed things up.
oh yes this stuff is amazing and cheap too
thank you for making the football for my group
You’re welcome! I’m still working on getting you guys a few more.
There are so many Polymaker Purples you need... I lobbied and got Periwinkle!
eSUN PLA has some great color choices too. The milk white is my go to white.
Macy, start building extra INVENTORY for Xmas!!

Yay! Love it when her videos come out!
Great video! Any ideas for fall/Thanksgiving decorations for the house?
I’ll try and work on some ideas :) Thanksgiving is harder than Christmas haha

Thanks :) I’m glad you’re here! The bambus are great if you ever decide to upgrade.

dang, 479001600 years old is a pretty insane age to start teaching math at 😆
I heard Purple, I subscribed.
Congrats on 20K subs!!
Thank you so much :) Glad you're part of the journey!
FYI... Polymaker Panchroma Basic/Regular acts like PETG, don't mix with PLA.
Riprap shelves would work for plastic weight storage. They look about the same size as a spool
What are those plastic weights btw ? Puzzled! :) .... RIGHT just when I paused the video and asked you explain it lol
Id love to see Macy’s opinion on Creality’s K2 Machine and would you be interested in this machine or as a Bambu Printist are you opposed to this new machine and would wait for Bambu to make a larger machine, or do you not need or want that size.

Yeah I think so! It’s a super good deal and the filament prints really smooth. I’m into it.
Do you not seal your filaments for storage to protect from humidity etc? Or do you dry any?
I don’t store PLA in bags and I don’t usually have to dry it. I do store PETG in bags and I’ll still dry it before printing.
All those AMS units and one roll of filament lol
I’d have at least 2 rolls in every unit just to make sure if it ran out it could continue the print.
You are awesome!
Thank you :) glad you’re here!
Great video, could do a video showing how you market your products and find new customers?
I’ll try! I mostly just use Etsy ads and UA-cam.
Thanks for your videos, I have picked up some excellent tips from you. I have just started using a printer for prototyping my designs.
Which Gorilla glue are you using to glue your printed parts together? I am using Bambu PLA for my models. Trying to figure out which glue is best 😊

I just use the basic clear gorilla glue. There’s probably better options but that works for me.
@@macymakes3d Many thanks!
Hey! Do you have any special setting for your P1S's? Your top layers are looking really good - I can't acheave that quality level on my prints. Any tips? Tx!
They’re not that smooth in person. Must just be the camera :)
@@macymakes3d Can you do some close-ups of you prints in next video? We would be greatefull ;)
I agree with your subscriber Dave about the the extra supports. Having done lots of construction myself it's better to be safe than sorry. Last thing you want is for 1 bracket to come loose and it all comes crashing down. Question, on your desk about between your monitors what is that small console that had lots of lit up buttons on them?
It looks like a stream deck
That’s an elgato stream deck. The buttons can be customized to do different things for different apps. Super cool little device.
I used to order the Bambu Matte black but I had complaints at how brittle it was. Sure enough, it's much weaker than non matte filaments.

Cool I print lots of sunlu so I’ll give it a try.
Why you don't tape the cardboard spools anymore? Do you upgrade your AMS`s?
The tape made things worse so I just went back to the plain cardboard. Now I’ve started printing some spool rings, this was filmed before that though.
Why not use your slicer to add a modifier and primitive and have it print with no holes vs designing the caps and printing them?
Something I can try next time. I’m new to 3D modeling so I don’t know all the tricks yet. But I appreciate all the tips!
Macy, I love the look of the Bambu matte black, but it sticks to my plate like it was superglued on there. Do you have this problem too? If so, how do you get it off the plate when it is done?

background music caught me off guard started making the stank face🤣
Hahaha I think I went a little to hard on the music this time
@ never! keep doin that, it was an attention grabber
Great video! What is the name of the dark purple on the top shelf on the black plastic spool??
That is sunlu transparent purple. I like it but I don’t use it often.
Could you not modify the STL files for the skeleton parts and remove the holes?
I see you struggle with the 'right' color. I just picked up an X1C, with the intent of 3D printing window box layered SVGs primarily designed for papercraft (your recent wreath video set my mind in motion).

How does a startup printer buy only the correct color - without buying every spool of every color by every brand?
Nice I love the paper style designs. And yeah, finding the right color is tough. Nothing looks the same online as it does printed.
How well does overture filament rolls work in your AMS system? I am just wondering since it is a card board roll. Thank you ❤
They recently changed the spool design. Old spools I loved and had no issues, but the new design is causing some issues so I printed some ring adapters and everything is running smooth again. Easy fix.
@ thank you so much!
How do you find the cardboard spools working in the AMS?
I was wondering the same. I have run a few cardboard spools through mine but some of the ones I purchased recently have damages rims and I'm worried they won't retract properly. They are ESUN spools and they have the notch so I was hoping they were the same as the Bambu Lab refill spools.

How do you deal with print failures or is there a fail safe way to avoid them?
I try to design/print things with minimal color changes to try and minimize the chance of error, but besides that there’s not much I can do. Just keep things clean and hope for the best haha
Super cool I run my own business 😃
What are the MiniRX all about ? I'm confused 😂
They’re mini weight sets for toddlers to be able to workout safely with their parents. Mainly for CrossFit
closing holes os pretty well made in onshape. If he does not neet the holes, they should not be there in the first place
Loooooooovvvvvvveeeeeee
Bambu makes a darker green thats as close as I have to a pine color
Yeah I think I have that but it gives me army green vibes. Maybe I have a different one though.
What software do you use to edit your/make your 3D designs?
I have the same question following
I use Adobe illustrator for 2D design, Tinkercad for SVGs to 3D, onshape for 3D modeling, and bambu studio is my slicer :)
So how did the football work out?
Great! I got it on the first try. The 2 after clogged but it just needed to be dried again and then it was good to go again.
so do you design or just use files with atribution I'm knew to this and starting in the business
I design everything in my Etsy shop. My Shopify store has some minis that I get from Zou3d patreon, and I’m the USA fulfillment for miniRX so you’ll see that on there as well.
on the matte pine, would the bambulab matte pine green work?
I think I have that one and it gives me army green vibes instead of pine, but maybe I have a different one than you’re talking about.
do you buy your files or design?
Everything in my etsy shop is my own design. On my shopify store I have the miniRX products that I handle fulfillment for, and then I have some of the Zou3D minis on there as well which are the only files I've bought with the intention of selling.
Seccoooond 😂
If you’re quick, Elegoo are offering buy four, get one free ;)
Yes! I definitely took advantage of that :)
What is flexi-PLA?
Kinda like TPU I think but maybe easier to print? That may be wrong, but flex pla is soft and flexible and it bounces.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lately, I've seen a lot of videos of women cleaning up their rooms on UA-cam. Those were quite a bit different from this one.
😂
THIRD!!! AMAZING VIDEO!
fiiiiiiirrrrrrrssssstttt!!!!!
So, those middle schoolers wore you down, huh?
Hahaha you don’t even want to know 😂

Hmmm....looks like my comment disappeared....or maybe I never hit save?!
Never saw anything come through besides this one
@@macymakes3d LOL well, let me try and remember what I said!
you are cute and very beautiful today
Ok. You steal STL´s from Makerworld with NON COMMERCIAL USAGE and print and sell then. That’s not the right way to do business
You must be new here. What makerworld models am I selling?
Lol I think you are misunderstanding which prints she is using for personal use vs selling, easy mistake and maybe your comment could be readdressed after a quick rewatch to clarify 😅
