You are amazing! I don't remember when was the last time I saw so down to earth UA-camr. Non of those Etsy gurus with over the top promises have provided even close as good information as you have. Genuinely grateful for your content 🙏
We have a company here in Germany which sells Filament but also takes all the rests (poop, misprints etc.) and makes new Filament from it. PETG and PLA at the moment. You collect points with every 2kg and then a voucher for buying new Filament. It’s a neat idea
I don't know if you've done so already, but a big help for me on the bambu lab printers running multi color or material was to change the flush settings inside the bambu studio app to reduce the amount of filament it purges when swapping. You can set it to 60% filament instead of it's default and still be safe to not have color bleed, or if you want to put the time into it you can change the flush rates for specific colors (darker color swapping to light you probably want to purge more, lighter color swapping to black you barely need to purge at all.) Cuts down on the waste and filament usage per print a little bit.
could you also make a separate product on the side and use that to purge your lines? like those minis she packed with the product maybe those or something like those could be made in conjunction with the main product that way you waste almost no filament. the minis might be multicolored and weird looking but could be cool.
Place a gutter behind the printers that has a suitable slope so that the waste slides down into the bin - manual cleaning is eliminated. In addition, any workshop vacuum cleaner is also good for a quick cleanup.
Thank you for sharing. Very informative and subscribed. I purchased an A1 back in December and love it. I have been using Bambu filament exclusively. Would love to hear more about why you use Overture for some prints and Bambu for others. Thank you so much. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Different filaments have different finishes. Overture has a more matte finish and bambu's basic pla is more glossy. You should try some different filaments :) but beware, you might get addicted lol.
The poop boxes with a wrap-around removable container work well. I can see it, and it's contained. I can't quickly get to the back of my printers, so it's a mess saver! Nice work.
For the bar bells, ever thought of making it in sections and work out a threaded end to go into the next. that way you can cut down on your shipping costs. how much does the bar bell setup weigh? Super awesome that you are set up the way you have everything. Goals for me lol.
Packing paper tip: blank newsprint. Cheaper than the waxy painter’s paper. Check with printing companies for their end rolls. Cheap and clean. Moving companies use it to pack everything and reduce breakage.
Nice to see your business grow! Just a few tips from a P1S owner. Print a poop choot (I have on that you can empty from the side.) Also print a side spool holder for the non ams, this way you don't have to be at the back off the printer. I also printed anti vibration feet in tpu. I was amazed how much quiter the printer is now. I can imagine with all the printers printing it will be pretty loud in there. Keep up the great work.
I have a small online business but find it difficult to keep up with my day job. I’m always looking for side hustles when I’m laid off and 3d printing is one of my new passions for my board game and tabletop hobbies. I’ve been using a p1s for the past month and absolutely love it. I look forward to seeing more of how you operate your home business!
for easier removal of support there is a setting in orcaslicer that uses a layer of PETG at the top of the support tower (that does not bond with PLA) using this option is amazing, try it out! It only adds a few quick filament changes depeding on the model, on your model it looks like 2 changes or so. The final print also looks much nicer doing this. =)
i tried this as well, but i didnt find it very workable somehow. printed some complex models with an translayer with petg, but, still lot of cleaning up. (printed with 0.2mm nozzle.
I've been doing this mostly for parts with a few but large overhangs just like that barbell plate nodel and it works great. You really need to calibrate your flushing volumes though!
Whilst you're at the P1P, you can reprint from the cache. Last thing printed is at the top. Just click print on the print and it'll save you loading up the files on your pc.
If you didn’t already know, you can email overture and place a bulk order of filament that ends up being cheaper than buying 2 roll packs over and over from Amazon 😊 I did that when my shop was super busy, I think their MOQ was 10 spools if I remember right but I blew through that in like a week and a half
Something I think you should definitely try is honeycomb packing paper. It comes in rolls and expands to create a soft cushion. It typically comes out to anywhere from around 4-11 cents USD per ft^2 or about $0.43-1.15 per meter^2. It looks really nice and feels very modern and premium. I, for one, really like seeing it when I get anything on Etsy or other online stores
the seam you have down the box is a glue seam, the box seam should either be pva glued or hot melt glued, this is called a straight line box, you will probably be better with a crash lock box.
I was afraid ETSY would frown on me trying to get ETSY buyers over my Shopify store by including a little card with a discount code but I see you are doing this as well! hank you for the video :)!
A cool idea I saw was to fix on hose to the back of each printer that goes into a clear plastic box. Then a hole for a vacuum cleaner hose to fit into the top of the box. Turn it on and it will suck all of the poop into the clear box from all the printers at once.
I recommend a rechargeable shop vac for cleaning up the mess. A Mikwaukee M18 eats up everything left behind, including decent size chunks of support material that has gone rocketing off during the cleaning process.
Hey Macy, greetings from Ukraine! It's always a pleasure for me to see your videos. Even though we have a big issue with power delivery right now, I'm about to start my small 3d printing business home business\side hustle. It helps me a lot to stay away from depression. I'd like to know how you keep everything well organized with all plastic stocks, printer parts, printed products, and finance. And where do you store all this info? I'm a big fan of Notion and this is where I'm gathering everything together but I would love to hear your experience. Also how do you run few printers jobs at the same time, do you use a new Bambu studio feature for multi-print or it's just a matter of few Bambu instances running at the same time? Thanks in advance and keep on going!
This content is amazing. Your packaging process is what I was really looking to see. I'm day 3 into 3d printing and just started learning auto cad. I'm completely obsessed with it and know I want to start a printing business over the winter since I work seasonal. Keep up the amazing content and the quality work!
spool adapters, as much of a pain they are when you're going through tons of rolls, they'll keep your AMS from wearing out as fast and reduce the amount of maintenance in the long run. Keep up the great work
Hi Macy i just on a journey to purchase a 3d printer for hobby. Just like to see how you like your bambu lab printers. Also so good to see young entrepreneur good luck in the process.
With the RepRack, you can stack them in Bambu Studio with a layer of PLA in the middle (as PETG and PLA don't stick to each other) and then you can run off a stack of 10 at a time. I've done this with RepRack and Multiboard and it works a treat for bulking them out overnight.
For the plastic filament bags, I collect them and return them to the grocery (or box store) plastic bag recycling because I read somewhere they are recyclable. I get some weird looks sometimes showing up with a big bag of plastic bags, but I don't care. I often just lift the lid on the collector and just shove the whole bag into the collector.
The bad thing is these often don’t get recycled. Multiple organizations have done reports on this. I guess it just stinks that we spend time to recycle and it doesn’t actually happen
@@nathankean7968 We can only do what we can do right? 😁 I will keep taking them in hopes they do recycle them, and if they don't that they get the message and start doing it at some point. Either way it won't be me throwing them in the trash.
I didn't design the pots, but I do print/ship them for the guy who sells them. I added the link to the description for the future but you can find them here - www.chipp.com/
Looking at your system you are only using two slots of the AMS to make name plates. You could standardize and leave Bambu white in one slot of the AMS of two units. Then swap out the others instead of constantly changing each machine for each print.
If you pull the rack out a couple of inches, hang the printers over the back the poop will drop on the floor under the rack. or into the boxes you put under the rack. you think? I have my X1 carbon in a kitchen unit put together upside down so you can exhaust the top with a fan. The draw is in the bottom filling with poop. To put the p1 x1 in a cabinet you have to extend the rear of the cabinet a couple of inches and you will have to put a bit of a chute/ramp behind the draw to catch the poop. Haven't got round to making a ramp yet so i use the draw to store the bits spares etc in. Being in a kitchen cabinet keeps it a lot quieter, I was going to put some foam inside the cabinet on the sides but its quiet enough without. The AMS sits on the top of the cabinet and feed through a hole in the top. Will probably not fit a ramp as the draw sits on a couple of bits of spare mdf so all you do is pull it out every week and scoop the poop into a bin.
portable ac units use 6" vent hoses to exhaaust the hot air. you should make some like 2-3" hoses and use them as shoots for ur plastic, then just put plastic on the floor under the rack, pull it out sweep it up, or put a trashcan back there, but it looks a little tight
Hello Macy! Amazing video! Thanks for sharing. Question, now that you are growing, have you register your "brand" I want to open my farm as well, but not sure if I should tell the Gvt haha
I would definitely consider a laptop or low power desktop that you can remote into your upstairs rig so you don't have to run up and down stairs all the time.
instead of running to the computer to put the same print you can choose it directly on the printer, if you sent it remotely its stored in the cache memory
stumbled upon your clip today, you do inspire me for this 3D Print Farm, I am very new to this, and I have no idea for 3D prints in Thailand. But 2 stacks of P1S looks so awesome, except the poop hehe
Nice to see how you are growing with your business. Would be nice to see a development in the sustainability part. i.e. instead of bubble rap you could use cardboard?
I just discovered your channel and watched a bunch of vids, but I'm confused on how you're making any money? I know you probably don't want to tell your income, but you've shown your amount of sales and it didn't even look like that covered the initial cost of your P1Ps? Nevermind the cost of PLA, shipping, packing material, and your own time.
As someone who wants to start the same, but with different prints, I love these videos. I do have a question. What is the shelving system you are using for your printers? I am trying to cost things out and include the shelf.
First time viewer thanks for linking to the air pillow I ship a lot of none 3d stuff and usually just save packing material from shipments received but that takes up a lot of room. Question on the weight stuff, whats' the story there I looked at Etsy and your Store and didn't see it and am trying to understand what it's for.
Hey Macy, I was just wondering how you set your website/online shop up? It is very easy to browse, and it's nice and simple. I am trying to get my own 3d printing business up and running and want to direct customers to my website, not Etsy.
Why not print the barbells weights in two halves then glue them together, you would end up with a better surface finish on the under side and save you having to clean up supports.
The dumbbells and barbells are for kids so that they can exercise with their parents safely. They can learn proper form without the risk of using heavy weights.
They're for young kids to be able to workout or "lift weights" with their parents without worrying about heavy weights. Helps them learn proper form. (Mainly for Crossfit)
Wait, what the?! Vlog 5 you got a new printer and then vlog 6 you completely upgraded your mini factory with giving us an update?! 😂 It looks a lot better!
you can make your prime towers smaller in "other" tab in Bambu Studio or don't use the prime tower I don't use it but my prints only change colors 1 or 2 times per print
@@macymakes3d You are spot on there. I use the filament saving gcode (search for LeonFisherSkipper) with a .5 multiplyer and if I am using like or dark colors I often turn off the purge block. I do use it when white is in play for the same concern you have, but I do shrink it.
Thanks for sharing your day in the life! I can totally appreciate that running a small business with a young child is busy thing, let alone filming and editing these. Great stuff! Those minirx sets are really cool. Are they your own design?
It doesn't matter. But don't use clear tape on bubble wrap, when you receive whatever you ordered, you can't find where the tape is. Use regular masking tape. I didn't realize it until the lady at one of my last jobs pointed it out to me.
Why do you mix brands of filament? Isn't that more work and increased material cost, when you could buy everything in bulk? Also I heard that Bambu filament is made by Sunlu, they just add the RFID tag to it and make a profit
Hi Macy! I'm on a similar Journey with my growing little 3d print farm, granted a little behind where you're at. Would you be open to hopping on a chat and swapping ideas? Or even starting a discord server for people like us looking to grow? There's no overlap in the products we offer, but I have lots of questions and would appreciate if I could pick your brain on stuff, and happy to share the things I've learned in my short journey! I'm hoping to find a small group of synergistic people that can grow with each other without cannibalizing each others sales. Keep up the great work!
Most of the things I design are for art purposes. I use adobe illustrator for the svgs and then tinkercad to make the stls. I do very minimal actual 3d modeling
How about a looooong trough to place behind the printers that you can pull out and empty? Maybe a narrow bladed hoe-like tool you can use to pull the poop from the far end closer?
Lots of talk out there about reliability and print quality of Prusa printers vs Bambu printers. Have you noticed any reliability or print quality issues with Bambu?
You are amazing! I don't remember when was the last time I saw so down to earth UA-camr. Non of those Etsy gurus with over the top promises have provided even close as good information as you have. Genuinely grateful for your content 🙏

You should tape some extra boxes together and make a chute for each printer that goes to a single large box behind the bottom shelf for the poops!
They are 3d printers, you could print a multicolored carnival fun slide into a trash can if you wanted to. 🤣
Poop chute!

Wow life saver! Thank you I didn't know this
Was going to say the same
Came to day the same. I use it constantly when running big batches of things.
You can do it from the mobile app too!
The X1C is a bit more intuitive as it shows you the renders of what prints you have made recently.
If you didn’t already know, you can email overture and place a bulk order of filament that ends up being cheaper than buying 2 roll packs over and over from Amazon 😊 I did that when my shop was super busy, I think their MOQ was 10 spools if I remember right but I blew through that in like a week and a half

Hello!! great vlog 🔥, do you keep track of how much filament is left in each spool?
Heads up, Bambus 2 year sale is starting in a few hours and filaments going on sale, hope it helps :)
I will definitely be taking advantage of the sale :) Thanks for the heads up!
Down to earth vid, loved it.. I am surprised you don't have a 3D print ramp made for all your printer poop to fall into a bucket.. :)
Thank you! I'm working on a poop chute solution :)
I’m pretty sure that @brothersmake would love to get your leftover waste - they do some fantastic stuff with recycling plastics.
awesome vid! how did you print the bars? separated and then glued??
Yes, separate pieces and then glued together
I think with your expertise you can design a centralized poop shoot, going down a big thrash bin for recycling
Kudos! Subbed!
portable ac units use 6" vent hoses to exhaaust the hot air. you should make some like 2-3" hoses and use them as shoots for ur plastic, then just put plastic on the floor under the rack, pull it out sweep it up, or put a trashcan back there, but it looks a little tight
Hello Macy! Amazing video! Thanks for sharing.
Question, now that you are growing, have you register your "brand"
I want to open my farm as well, but not sure if I should tell the Gvt haha
Haha I do have it registered as an LLC
@@macymakes3d Thanks! :D
Thank you for posting again. I look forward to your videos but know you are super busy. Really appreciate you sharing your process.
Love the colorful poop.
For the waste search for pla silicone mold .. you can do nice stuff and sell ..
Could use rain gutter with some 3d printed shoot from poop shoot. Get it all to run out the right hand side to a bin straight away.
I would definitely consider a laptop or low power desktop that you can remote into your upstairs rig so you don't have to run up and down stairs all the time.
instead of running to the computer to put the same print you can choose it directly on the printer, if you sent it remotely its stored in the cache memory

just scrolled through the vid. good luck on your journey. have fun and stay happy :)
You should consider a bigger trashcan...not just for holding more, but for actually making it in the can! 😂
New sub, you’re a great presenter and cool products. Very informative 👍😊
Thank you so much :)
I would LOVE your 3d printed trash! I melt it down and make sheets for my cnc router!
I wish you were closer to Greensboro, NC. I'd work something out with you for the filament boxes. I use those as shipping boxes.
I wish! Only a couple hours drive but probably still a lot to ship
im about to graduate my autocad course and ive been strongly considering getting the product license and a 3d printer and trying to start a business!
Go for it! It's definitely possible
Its hard to smile with all the failed prints 😂 happy to see that smile… can feel the pain !!
Nice to see how you are growing with your business. Would be nice to see a development in the sustainability part. i.e. instead of bubble rap you could use cardboard?
Love your videos. I have a P1P and trying to learn more with illustrator and SVG’s in Bambu studio. Not a lot of content out there about that. Thanks
I think that you need some poop chutes to bring the waste around to the side of each printer, It will make cleaning up so much easier.
Great view into a busy day of making and selling! New sub here!! 😊
Awesome thank you! So glad you're here :)
Bambu is having a sale* for a month starting tomorrow, great time to buy more filament.
I’ll definitely be taking advantage of their sale!
Awesome video... Keep up the good work. Btw, do you have problems using paper card spools on AMS?
Sometimes the rolls will snag if they get close to being empty but besides that not really.
I am convined Poymaker filament is the same as Bambu Lab filament, I can do without the tags! and I save quite a bit of cash!

The kobalt shelves from Lowes. They're pretty shaky with only 2 shelves in there, but I like them good enough for the price.
Thanks for sharing Your day with us!
Fantastic video!!
Thank you for watching ☺️
Nice job and amazing being able to do this with a young kid! Are all your printers Bambu P1S and do you like them? I’m thinking about purchasing one.
Thanks! I have 4 P1Ps and 3 P1Ss. I love them both. Bambu is making some incredible machines.
You're almost having too much fun.... I'm jealous, almost as well
First time viewer thanks for linking to the air pillow I ship a lot of none 3d stuff and usually just save packing material from shipments received but that takes up a lot of room. Question on the weight stuff, whats' the story there I looked at Etsy and your Store and didn't see it and am trying to understand what it's for.
Also are people lifting these barbells or just decorative? They look very light!!! 🪶
They're for kids. Helps them learn to lift with proper form before using real weights
Hey Macy, I was just wondering how you set your website/online shop up?

What do you use those dumbbells for? Is it like a prop? Just for the display? Or is it for kids? Great videos btw. I really enjoy watching them.
The dumbbells and barbells are for kids so that they can exercise with their parents safely. They can learn proper form without the risk of using heavy weights.
@@macymakes3d I see, clever :) oh and very nice design!
I too had the same question regarding the dumbbells. Very cool, thank you.
I’m copying that and putting them in my eBay store 🤔
that filament waste makes me shed a tear 😢
cool and fun video. Have to ask what's the purpose on the printed weights and barbells? What do you people use those for?
They're for young kids to be able to workout or "lift weights" with their parents without worrying about heavy weights. Helps them learn proper form. (Mainly for Crossfit)
@macymakes3d ha after I posted the question, it then dawned on me that's likely what they are. Great work! Love the videos

Wait, what the?! Vlog 5 you got a new printer and then vlog 6 you completely upgraded your mini factory with giving us an update?! 😂 It looks a lot better!
Haha a little upgrade :) and thanks!
you can make your prime towers smaller in "other" tab in Bambu Studio or don't use the prime tower I don't use it but my prints only change colors 1 or 2 times per print
You're right! Definitely going to do that. The only time I feel like I really need it is when I'm changing from another color to white.
@@macymakes3d You are spot on there. I use the filament saving gcode (search for LeonFisherSkipper) with a .5 multiplyer and if I am using like or dark colors I often turn off the purge block. I do use it when white is in play for the same concern you have, but I do shrink it.
Thanks for sharing your day in the life! I can totally appreciate that running a small business with a young child is busy thing, let alone filming and editing these. Great stuff!
Those minirx sets are really cool. Are they your own design?
should look at doing injection molding with the waste material, there's plenty of products you could make with that.
nice video..
curious, what are people buying the plastic barbell sets for?
Thanks for the video. Good watch. May I ask what the printed weights are for? Would love to hear about them and its just out of curiosity.
They’re workout sets for kids. Helps them learn proper form without worrying about heavy weights.
@@macymakes3d Brilliant. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work
@@macymakes3d Got it. BTW, I work with a woman who is your doppleganger! No Joke!
What 3d modeling software do you use?
It doesn't matter. But don't use clear tape on bubble wrap, when you receive whatever you ordered, you can't find where the tape is.
Use regular masking tape. I didn't realize it until the lady at one of my last jobs pointed it out to me.
I think, you need print a collector pop !! sorry my english !
Why do you mix brands of filament? Isn't that more work and increased material cost, when you could buy everything in bulk?
Also I heard that Bambu filament is made by Sunlu, they just add the RFID tag to it and make a profit
Im finna just cash out my savings and get the bambu p1p. You inspired me
😂
Do you not recall repeat print jobs from the Bambu memory card? It looks like you walk all the way back to your computer to start print jobs.
Hi Macy! I'm on a similar Journey with my growing little 3d print farm, granted a little behind where you're at. Would you be open to hopping on a chat and swapping ideas? Or even starting a discord server for people like us looking to grow? There's no overlap in the products we offer, but I have lots of questions and would appreciate if I could pick your brain on stuff, and happy to share the things I've learned in my short journey! I'm hoping to find a small group of synergistic people that can grow with each other without cannibalizing each others sales. Keep up the great work!
macy, do you do designing as well. Or work from other peoples designs? If you do design, what application do you use?
Most of the things I design are for art purposes. I use adobe illustrator for the svgs and then tinkercad to make the stls. I do very minimal actual 3d modeling
HVFS FTW!!! IYKYK!
Yayy! We love the filling station!
If no one bites for your leftover filament, I find there are a lot of folks that will take it if you post on Craigslist for your area!
awesome work
How about a looooong trough to place behind the printers that you can pull out and empty? Maybe a narrow bladed hoe-like tool you can use to pull the poop from the far end closer?
Lots of talk out there about reliability and print quality of Prusa printers vs Bambu printers. Have you noticed any reliability or print quality issues with Bambu?
also you can get a artme 3d and turn the pooh back to filament
