Love the videos man. I got a P1S with ams back in August (as a mechanical engineering student I was already familiar with printers). I recently opened my Etsy shop just about a month ago and just hit 45 sales. Things have really blown up and in the last week I’ve gone up to 5 sales a day on average that my printer can barely keep up (77h printing backlog). I’m getting another P1S delivered today so hopefully I will be able to keep up with orders. Anyways these videos are a true inspiration and keep at it!
I'm working on building a farm with the FLSUN T1 Pro . Of course, I also have a P1S, but I only use it with the AMS for complex multi-color projects. For most prints, I rely on the T1 Pro to boost efficiency. I hope this helps!
hey! i just bought my own printer (bambu a1 combo) which is yet to deliver but i was just curious how mechanical engineering works with printers. im still in highschool and i want to understand more about this career
@@mynameiskaremo1097 I had classes about parametric 3D modeling (which is nice if you want to also design your own 3D prints) as well as many product design classes where I had to design a solution for a client (usually mechanical product) and we go through prototyping with 3D printers before machining with metal if we need to

Love this content man. I started my 3D printing journey back in September and just hit about 70 sales on Etsy. Been going back and forth about adding a third printer (another A1 combo) to keep up with orders/idea production. Keep it up!
Go for it! Soon you'll see the snowball effect, I was doing okay selling around 30-50 lamps a month, but this last week it's between 10-15 a day and I can barely keep up with my 3 printers. I'm so glad I took some profits early on and bought more printers (mostly because if one of them brakes I can still keep producing)
Really great guide and love that you mentioned going to your local library. Some libraries nowadays even have maker labs and 3D printers. I used to use my local library for prints before I purchased my own 3d printer. So they are a huge resource for those starting out not only for printing labels and documents but also 3d prints. Keep up the great content! We're here for your journey!
My first printer was the original Creality Ender 3 back in 2018. It was an amazing machine to learn about 3D printing and troubleshooting (a lot lol). I've since upgraded to the Qidi Tech X-Plus 3 and it has been fantastic. The automatic bed levelling and increased print speed made 3D printing super easy and a lot more enjoyable, but it was a great learning experience and entry in the 3D world working with the Ender 3. Congrats on 2k! You're killing it!
These are solid tips for any business. When I started selling coffee it pays off to be frugal. People buy your brand, they aren't worried you used packing tape to apply the shipping label. Love the channel so far!
I see you used a static shot at the beginning. Thank you for that! I also enjoyed your handheld (gimbal) footage. You really use a good mix of styles to keep the video engaging. The content was also interesting, of course :) I like these kinds of videos. Doesn't always have to be a vlog. Since you have a crazy release schedule: Please make sure to decrease that if you feel that it starts to overwhelm you. Half of that would still be a lot!
Great videos! How do you handle the toxic fumes generated by the printer while it's running? Can you smell them in the confined space, or do you have some sort of air circulation system in place? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic! Keep it up
Thanks! With PLA I smell zero odors. I'm also in the corner of my basement. So while you all see a small workshop, the whole basement is 25'x25'. I do have an air filter downstairs just to be safe.
Congratulations on 2000 !!! just the beginning I’m sure, maybe a future video on the steps involved in software & processes of going from idea to printed form, anyway Thanks and keep creating !!
I'm not familiar with the T1 Pro, but as long as you can find a successful product and have effective marketing, the printer is less of a concern. Sales are No 1 priority.
This is great! Start with what you have. The ender 2 pro is a great first printer. I got one as my first printer and now have the Bambu A1. If you can afford it I can’t recommend the A1 enough. The ender is a great starter printer though.
Hey! Just bought the pegboard stl. Have you considered adapting it to fit the IKEA Skadis board? Thanks for your content and all the work you put into sharing your journey.
Loving my 3d printer. I'm trying to learn blender... But I'm hitting mental blocks. Honestly the software I've used more than anything has been Tinkercad. (simple design and design modifications.) Great video.
@@OfficialOffDaBench Yeah.. Tinkercad is great for simple things. But you can't get too complex with it. It's not really modelling software. I'm still trying to find something as easy as Tinkercad, but with more flexibilities. It's the holy grail of "ease of use" vs. "Flexibility". There's always trade-offs between the two.
Have you seen Arn Bornheim’s youtube review of the kit you can buy for the A1 Mini to be able to automatically queue up multiple build plates worth of prints on a single machine? It’s like a build plate switcher and I feel like it would be rad for what you have going on! So exited to put your videos in my daily watch later - if you keep making them I’ll keep watching!
I'm really enjoying your content and want to say thank you for sharing! I'm curious if you will discuss the more 'business admin' side of your business such as forming an LLC; sales tax; filing your own business taxes; etc. Thanks again and looking forward to more videos :)
Thank you for the video bro! I was curious how did you find out your pricing for your products, and what was your process like getting going on etsy? It would be cool to see how you went about some of the other admin stuff, and the design stuff too, can't wait to see how the journey goes!
I've just begun my 3d printing business. So this is very interesting to me. I'm struggling finding ideas worth a damn that haven't been solved already! How do you find ideas and brainstorm
Hi bro! i got a prusa mini + and... actually i think in sell for buy a bambu a1 mini, becouse here in my country very people buy pokemon and other character animation. Well, i love your videos. You ´re new in YT and think very potential for you channel. Very luck wiht your business.
Get your 4x6 thermal shipping labels free from UPS. I just ordered their 6000 lot, will be here in a week totally free. Must sign up for a free shipping account. I ended up calling them to set it up. Hope this helps.
Hi, thanks for the videos, I’m in the process to set a farm, if I can lard like that, at the moment I have 1 p1s however is really noisy and I’m thinking to buy a a1 but I’m worried if will be to cold, I’m in the north of England and near to a balcony, do you think a a1 will be good enough?

I have always thought about about doing that but never found what to sell that works for me, like, how to get to sell that

I'm working on building a farm with the T1 Pro and would love to hear your advice.

Loving my 3d printer. I'm trying to learn blender... But I'm hitting mental blocks. Honestly the software I've used more than anything has been Tinkercad. (simple design and design modifications.)
Great video.
Blender is great, but has way more features than most people need. Tinkered is a great software.
@@OfficialOffDaBench Yeah.. Tinkercad is great for simple things. But you can't get too complex with it. It's not really modelling software.
I'm still trying to find something as easy as Tinkercad, but with more flexibilities. It's the holy grail of "ease of use" vs. "Flexibility". There's always trade-offs between the two.
You are freaking blowing up dude!! Keep going!!
Thanks!

Yes! Really cool idea.
bro 2k already! NICE!! I saw when you got 1k only a few days ago! WILD!
Its a crazy ride :)
Good know I'm on the right track. I just need select my packaging
I'm really enjoying your content and want to say thank you for sharing! I'm curious if you will discuss the more 'business admin' side of your business such as forming an LLC; sales tax; filing your own business taxes; etc. Thanks again and looking forward to more videos :)
At the beginning of 2025 I'll go into more detail :)
wow this is a great video thanks!
No problem!
Thank you for the video bro! I was curious how did you find out your pricing for your products, and what was your process like getting going on etsy? It would be cool to see how you went about some of the other admin stuff, and the design stuff too, can't wait to see how the journey goes!
The short answer is I take a guess, but I do have a more in depth process as well. I'l plan to cover it in an upcoming video :)
thanks man
I've just begun my 3d printing business. So this is very interesting to me. I'm struggling finding ideas worth a damn that haven't been solved already! How do you find ideas and brainstorm
Don't worry about solving new ideas to start. Just solve them in your own way :)
Can you show how you do the schrink wrap, and maybe link your setup?
I'll add it in an upcoming video :)
Amazing!
Just wondering what the product was that you used to sell 2:00
It was a smooth version of my coat hooks.
Hi bro! i got a prusa mini + and... actually i think in sell for buy a bambu a1 mini, becouse here in my country very people buy pokemon and other character animation. Well, i love your videos. You ´re new in YT and think very potential for you channel. Very luck wiht your business.
Which shipping service do you use? Do you ship through etsy or a different company?
I just purchase all my shipping labels through Etsy
Get your 4x6 thermal shipping labels free from UPS. I just ordered their 6000 lot, will be here in a week totally free. Must sign up for a free shipping account. I ended up calling them to set it up. Hope this helps.
Hi, thanks for the videos, I’m in the process to set a farm, if I can lard like that, at the moment I have 1 p1s however is really noisy and I’m thinking to buy a a1 but I’m worried if will be to cold, I’m in the north of England and near to a balcony, do you think a a1 will be good enough?
Yes the A1 is a great option!
Hi from italy !
Hello!
Have you posted your products on Dewalt/DIY Facebook groups? Your Etsy would get a boost in sales!
Good idea! Just need to watch out for the moderators. They can be pretty strict
We’re do you sell prints
I sell my products on Etsy, but plan to also launch a website in 2025!
K
Which cad program do you use?
Right now I use Shapr3D, but may switch this coming year
@ whoa y ones are you thinking about switching to? Seems like a good video idea
Also, learn to work in millimeters. Much easier that imperial.
So much better!
