Interesting video thank you I have had my 3d printer a year now with absolutely no experience in CAD or 3d printing iv printed silly easy prints that the market is just full of I’m trying to find something too that would be really practical to someone’s life but I still can’t get there

I have the same rack now and was wondering if you ever found anything to put on the top of the four post. It seems strange that it came without some kind of cover and I'm not good enough to design things like this yet

Great video & motivation! You got this!

Roger, I was watching this video and when you told me to ask myself, “AM I DUMB”, I immediately answered, NO. But the wife was in the background yelling YES! So your little trick will have to wait for warmer weather when I can torch things outside! 😅.

5:44 I feel the same way. I have to make something functional and usable. can't make those dragons and cute things (can but won't)... . Great video as always!

I wouldn't stress about small imperfections for functional prints. If it's not atheistic people won't really care.

Unrelated to the video, but how haven't i put the slicer on dark mode yet, that should come default

You don't have to modify the model, just adjust the print settings and save the profile for that PETG.

The Elegoo filament is such good value here in Australia (especially if you're buying 10 rolls at a time). I basically use Elegoo and Esun for 99% of my prints. You do need to make changes between PLA and PETG but Elegoo's filament seems quite good. Cheers!

3:40 it's "hygroscopic", not "hydroscopic". or maybe i heard it wrong. my ears are not great :)

i like, more please. illustrator to fusion to slicer

I totally switched to Elegoo Rapid PETG, use the Bambu HF settings, just increase the temp to 255°

As a fellow "gun guy" I haven't used my keurig in a while as I mostly just make full pots of coffee to keep up - but I LOVE the picatinny rail k-cup holders. Now as a fellow 3d printer, I probably won't make a commercial sale out of this but I applaud the effort that went into this design. Colt and S&W FTW all day...

My PETG prints are sometimes a little reliant on measurements being about right, so I really notice the shrinkage. The material I'm using at the moment shrinks to something like 98.3% of the desired size in the XY dimensions, so it can be tricky. If you can get consistent shrinkage, it shouldn't be a problem, but a little manual calibration does the trick. I typically print a small cube and/or a cylinder and quickly measure how much they deviate from my desired sizes, and calculate from there. Worked well enough so far, and doesn't take very long. Also saves on materials. I've seen calibration tests eat 150g or more for something that shouldn't be rocket surgery.

I appreciate these ramble videos! As a fellow small biz owner, hearing your thoughts and ideas is refreshing. The world's full of drama. Let's do the fun biz stuff. I also caught your PETG video today and that was great. I think a filament dryer is in my future for sure.

I just ordered some elegoo pla for my Bambu A1 printer I'm new to printing. Do I need to print an adapter for the spools to fit on my ams lite? Love the channel I learn a bit a time thanks for what ya do. If need an adapter could you recommend one on bambu handy app ?

Those bambu printers and the prusa's you mentioned are all consumer grade printers if you want a Commercial grade its going to be alot more then $1200. May your printing journey be successful.

Agree with you. You can do more with a P1S Combo than a single material CORE one and for a better price

0:54 what about printing your own camera head mount ? or it's too bulky?

Hey there! I've had a Prusa Mini since release. At the beginning the Mini did require quite a lot of hand holding. However, my Mini in its enclosure has been an absolute workhorse that I don't have to tinker with ever. That being said I wouldn't buy one new now 😂 I also have an A1 combo. The Core One looks nice, but I don't think is worth the money. I think it's fun to look at new shiny things and WANT them, but reality is different. For me personally I think Flashforge or Qidi are interesting brands to watch for commercial use. They might not be doing anything revolutionary, but that's okay. They seem to be loved and reliable, and they're CHEAP for what you get. The "ecosystem" with Prusa is really interesting cause there's no lock in. So to me, the thing in their ecosystem that I LOVE and I don't think gets talked about enough is Prusa Connect. And I don't just mean monitoring remotely. Being able to queue up print jobs while the printer is running is awesome and I hate not being able to do that with the A1. I want a queue of print jobs so that when I take a part of the plate, I hit a button, and the printer moves on to the next thing. I don't have to scroll through files on an sd card or whatever. I understand the frustration of seeing the fear mongering around Bambu, but if you'll allow me a minute... I'm not suggesting cancelling Bambu, getting rid of your Bambu printers, or even not buying Bambu. Having said that I feel it's important to call out BS when we see it, especially when companies change the terms of the sale after the fact. Bambu doesn't NEED to do what they're doing otherwise all that would have been in place day 1. Just some food for thought.

For me, the Prusa Core One is too little, too late, too expensive. The panels are polycarbonate and not cheap acrylic btw. I'm sure the build quality is good and they'll be reliable and long-lasting, but not on my purchase radar. The Prusa ecosystem is excellent by all accounts though.

Making the most of that Suno! I’m with it!

I'm with you on the wanting to be a part of the Prusa fanboys but I just can't justify the money. I have a P1S and an A1, also had an A1 mini for a bit and they're fast, reliable, easy to work with and on when necessary and didn't break the bank. $1200 doesn't even get you into the multi-color game with Prusa, unless I'm missing something I just don't get it.

There's no one size fits all when it comes to 3D printers. On paper, my X1C outscores my Voron by a huge margin, but I much prefer the Voron. There's an non tangible quality about it being open source and I can print my own parts or mods for it. My Voron isn't a hobby in of itself. It's a workhorse that prints parts for my business day and night. My wife on the other hand much prefers the Bambu. We all like what we like even if it seems irrational to other people.

Love the song in the beginning lol, wich song is it?

I have all Bl printers and I m looking forward to more. I’m waiting for a1 max

Been looking to add stickers to my packages so this is convenient...Nice video!!

So, it just works with the bambu slicer? I ordered some and just wanted to make sure

Thanks bud...very interesting that you had warping on one corner. I had the same issue on my first print. I just used glue afterwards

I was really hoping to see someone actually put it together to show vs just talking about it. Will keep looking, maybe come back once I understand.

if you have any older 3d printer, you could Klipperize it. Or maybe a file/print share. keep up the good content!!

I recently made a case for my pi 5 and compared to yours, I'm a novice. What I'm doing with mine is security cameras. I have a a motion detector program that triggers video saving. I'm not sure if the pi zero has the camera option but it's something I've wondered about as I think they're cheaper.

DUDE!!! Here I am rocking out in the shop with the 3d print song! That's so cool, but what's the name and when is the tour? :D I also dig the mood lights! It adds a level of visual interest to your background and helps your video. :)

My traffic to my Etsy shop has gone down drastically in the past 2 weeks. Also happened when I stopped doing ads completely. The ROI is horrendous on their ads.

Maybe I missed it but what did you end up doing with the very narrow handmade categories? My products don't really match any of the categories either so was curious how you listed the ones that didn't line up exactly. I'm planning on setting up my amazon seller account this weekend.

I love your talk with Etsy lol i would love to have a talk with Etsy and say get rid of the china drop shipping and stop taking such a big chunk of the money the actural makers are bringing in.

The 0.4 nozzle model has 289g of material and the 0.6 nozzle model has 340g of material. You have to compensate for that by changing amount of walls

I feel you on Etsy... despite continued marketing, paying ads, and doing all the right things. My shop traffic has lowered year over year on Etsy while it has grown on every other platform. Being where your customers are is the number one goal for sure! I'm planning to check out this big ole butt on amazon this year. :D

I just subscribed, I have a quick question. What do I need to do technically to be like a small private vendor for two locally owned stores here in town? Do i need an LLC or anything? Ill just be selling small stuff to a local trooical fish store and a privately owned gas station. Maybe a business acct with a bank?

Im kicking the idea around of starting a small side business selling small stuff at a locally owned gas station and a local aquatic store. Great video, thanks for the info.

Keep the rubber boot, if you have a print failure and melted filament gathers on the nozzle is much easier to get off and clean it all up with the boot offering some protection to the nozzle. (I might be speaking from experience on this one)

Nice music. Ai tap

I don't know what you're talking about with PlayStation I still got my GameShark on mine, ain't nothing closed system about it LMFAO

This exact same thing happened to DJI. They decided to side with their chinese communist rulers and lock down every drone they sold. I don't know about you but I lost all interest at that point. This is the problem with chinese communist lunatics, they think power and control are their right. Bambu Labs needs a class action lawsuit and to be boycotted. They already tried to burn down everybody's house now they have decided that they should be allowed to treat you like one of their billions of hostages in China.

The boot is not for looks it is for thermal control. our printer will not print correctly with out it

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Thinking I want to do some printing and sort of looking at the A1 -- lot to sort out :) Like that shelve unit.

My first bambu printer was an A1 mini too, and it's still my favorite bambu printer. For my micro print farm I went with three full size A1s. I only print with PLA, PETG and TPU, so no need for the P series for me. They've been rock solid performers.

The silicone sock is actually to help with several things, but the thing that's the most day-to-day helpful is it keeps stray plastic from melting to your hot-end. It actually keeps things way cleaner. It also helps contain some of the head of the hot-end too.

First, where did you find that song? AI and Shazam can't seem to find it. Second, the sock is supposed to help keep heat where it is supposed to be, at the nozzle. Not radiating down to the print. Also some added protection should the print spaghetti or blob of doom. But this is only what the interwebs say.
