    To go along with your Dice tower, any thoughts towards adding a dice "box" to your product line? I printed up a planter of Groot for my Mother and used a Filament that had a 30% wood fiber mixed with it that really turned out nice. Designing and printing your own custom box to hold your dice out of that filament would be a cool addition to your tower for table top gaming. Look at me full of suggestions today.

    Good vid. Love the updates, totally understand that a multi video per week is hectic. Still waiting for my p1p to ship :(. Meantime my k1 max is actually doing very well. Nozzle does clog on occasion but only on first layers if it is gonna happen and I have found if I run an extrude before a print it clogs 1 in 150 prints, which is acceptable. Keep up the great content. Suggestion perhaps, planned maintenance of your printers in terms of timings and what you tink that will be. Ie, nozzle cleaning, greasing, when you think you will have to replace nozzles or hot ends, etc. just a thought

    • @DoveDesigns3D
      @DoveDesigns3D 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I really enjoyed my K1 Max but the issues I was having on my unit within a month just made me reconsider. Maybe it was just that particular unit. Also those are great ideas. I do need to do some maintenance (more for preventative right now) but I'm sure getting that out in video form would be great for others. Also nozzle swapping was interesting haha.

    • @d1ryan
      @d1ryan 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I did some thinking on this and it would be great to have a loose maintenance schedule like a new car comes with. Every month grease the xy and z axis and inspect the belts, every 3 take the silicone sock off and clean the gunk out, etc....... just kind of a suggection checklist... You probably got that from my first message.

    I have had an Etsy store for a little over 3 years. Although this was my best year so far by hitting 60k, my November and December and so far January have been slower than last year. The reason I had a better year was that I added new products that became bestsellers and my monthly sales increased overall. This is shaping up to be perhaps my slowest January, which is not promising for the rest of the year. Time to add more products. We design and make our own functional products, so I just need to keep adding products to pick up more sales. Slow times are good for updating pictures and adding new listings.

    LOL - more and more of these 'buyer regret' videos are beginning to surface. It's like all the other companies are cursed or something. Not ashamed to admit that I am a Bambu fanboy. As a custodian, for a local elementary school, I recycle pop cans for purchasing material to make toys for the kids. 2000+ hours logged is proof enough that Bambu Lab is the only choice. Why Bambu? App, slicer, presets, inexpensive replacement parts, customer service, track-record, LONGEVITY. It's kind of a 'no-brainer'. But... you do you. Thanks for being honest and sharing your feelings and experience.

    I can say that there are some issues. But there are way more machines that just work versus ones that have issues. We only hear the bad which is normal. I think if you try the k2 plus you’d love it. I have k1 maxs and k2 plus machines. Never had had any issues. And everyone I know who has them hasn’t had issues. But we are experienced users. Not denying there are issues. Just saying I would t write them off over one machine unless you just live the Bambu. I live Creality because they are cheaper and open source.

    I'm with you. I'm planning on selling my K1 Max (working 100% perfectly mind you) to fund whatever the next Bambulabs XL type machine is. I was thinking about getting the K2 Plus but honestly, I'd rather spend an extra $1,000 on a Bambu that works out of the box and doesn't require rooting it and messing with Klipper firmware. Plus, a Bambu will likely have industry leading features that nobody else has, and those features will work. Like, all the time. Not sometimes like the Creality machines.

    Why do people get so hung up on pricing? Just look at the market or price about 4x your material cost. People think they have to justify their pricing with complex calculations.

    • @DoveDesigns3D
      @DoveDesigns3D 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think it makes sense when you have a large volume of orders and you're juggling material costs for different types of filaments. Your purchasing power will probably play role in what you can get your costs down to. Electricity is cheaper for me than say in California, and wear and tear on the printer (which these print farms eventually have to repair and replace) can factor into it. For someone starting out with a small operation, it doesn't make sense to get into anything complex. Dependant more on your circumstances I suppose

    • @chrisbaker3760
      @chrisbaker3760 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As an owner of a long running large print farm, you absolutely need to worry about price. Your printers only have a limited life, either your printer wears out or the technology leaps forward and to stay ahead of the curve then you need to update and unless you have been making a realistic profit margin (MUCH more than 4x material cost) then you are effectively spending thousands to make hundreds... at that point you are still in a hobby mentality and you are just not going to succeed long term, at least not beyond just selling for pocket money

    Sorry to hear about your K1 Max woes. I have had a few nozzle clogs with mine as well, usually on the first few layers and pretty much only on PETG. My Bambu P1s is still on back order and I am working with my supplier on the K1. My dream would be to swap it out with another P1s, but pretty sure they don't work that way sadly. I appreciate you taking us along. The good and the bad is awesome to hear (hopefully more good than bad obviously)

    Congratulations on the video. Your report on 3D printers is very important. I see that many sellers are opting for Bambulab machines. It seems to me that they are more reliable for printing demands. Regarding 3D models, you are right to check the use and commercial licenses.

      Reliability, especially running a business, is key. I can tinker and fix things no problem but I have many other things to do. And on a $700 machine I shouldn't have to do all that. Also, yes checking those licenses is super important. I'll touch on that subject again in my next video.

    The Creality Hi looks nice. Post K2 Plus, Creality has really risen to the challenge and is crushing it. I print functional parts so multi-color isn't as appealing to me even though it's a very popular segment of the market, but I'd like to use filament feeders to print different materials. The FlashForge AD5X in particular appeals to me. It's similar to the feeder on the Bambu A1 Mini but the four spools mount to the right of the open frame coreXY printer, and the FlashForge IFS can feed 95A durometer TPU. None of the other filament feeders can do that and that's huge for me. Unfortunately, the AD5X has been delayed for a month or two as they get it to poop TPU without clogging. I hope with all of the filament feeders flooding the market, slicers will do a better job with multi-filament printing. For most prints, we shouldn't need the material waste associated with a poop chute or purge tower. The slicer should figure out how to use the nozzle purge to print infill. Hopefully we get that in 2025.

    How do you figure your pricing with filament usage and print hours?

    • @DoveDesigns3D
      @DoveDesigns3D 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Very good question and something I plan to address in a future video. I use online price calculators to include filament cost, electricity, my time and a markup to create a base price and then price it compared to competing products on shops like Etsy. I’m always tweaking my prices though to see what works and doesn’t

    Held off buying Bambu A1 with AMS during the holidays. Problem printing with color is how much printer poop is wasted when changing color mid print.

      @DoveDesigns3D 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Soooo much poop! Luckily I haven’t had too many multicolor prints but the few I have done there’s been a lot of waste. Hopefully a better solution comes in the future. The P1S is still an excellent machine though

      That's not a problem, that's physics and how it works. Not to mention that 90% of the print it is people are too dumb to understand filament changes and how to optimize the layer for it. In short, there is no problem with the printer/AMS; it works as intended.

    If it’s not enclosed, I don’t want it. I’m not interested in printing toys. I’m interested in printing structurally rigid parts, that perform a job. These printers are not good enough. They need to make something better for hobbyist. Until then, I’m done printing for now. I don’t want to print PLA. I want to print PEEK. Know of any printers available for this?

    • @DoveDesigns3D
      @DoveDesigns3D 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Oof for PEEK I don't think there's anything reasonably priced for that type of material. I think anything sub $1000 is going to be geared toward hobbyist and prosumer.

      @ yeah man. No doubt. I tried to turn a QIDI printer into a high temp machine. It worked alright…. But just couldn’t produce very high quality parts. Very disappointing. I really hope some big leaps are made in the 3D printing world! I want to manufacture good parts, but I’m not a rich man. Can’t afford the industrial printers yet /: good video though!!!

    I think what makes it competitive is the AMS that can be used for it, it's more traditional. If Bambu wants to compete all they'd have to do is make a universal AMS for all the models

    • @DoveDesigns3D
      @DoveDesigns3D 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      True! That would be nice. One AMS system for all printers so there's no variations would be great.

      @@McDowallManor Creality is making cheaper printers, BUT... it very often comes with problems. It can be small problems, but also problems which will affect print quality etc. In today's market, the leader is for sure Bambulab. Price is ok, quality is very high. Everything is automatic. Then ofcourse Prusa, but Prusa comes with higher price, tho the quality is also perfect. But we have to be fair and say, that Creality is nowadays much better then like 5 years ago. But it still have the problems.

      With Bambulab seeming determined to piss off their core fans and brand advocates with the announced firmware lockdown, Creality may have a genuine chance if they don't keep this printer locked down like Bambu.
