I also do 3d printed name tags in Asia. I do very small name tags for very cheap price. However, deisnging text name tag on fusion 360 for every order is real pain... In the video you mentioned you automated the text based name tags, can you give me a bit of a clue how that can be done?

2-$300 a day on average on amazon. The key is functional items and own the design. Low print time as well. My items print in 33 minutes and i own 4 p1s. So thats 8 products an hour on average.
@@3dDesignBros Is an ender 3 v3 se good for making a profit? A friend recommended it to me and I’m new to 3d printing. I was thinking of buying this as my first one.
I love that! I sell larger prints that take 14 hours a piece. Not a huge profit margin when it uses 250g. But, I had good luck selling in person with local stores and shops! I was able to sell my designed earrings (requires AMS) for different seasons and so on. I was able to print about 20 sets a print. Large profit margin. Made each for about $0.25-$0.50 a pair and was able to sell for $15. Sold quick in a gas station.
Using other people's fonts is fairly straightforward. Their are site that you can find the font for sale on. You purchase the commercial license and download it and then install it on your computer and now you have it available in Fusion and other applications. I'm not sure how he automated the text.
For those wondering about creating models from text in Fusion, the process works much smoother if you create your text in a vector based program such as Illustrator or Affinity Designer. Once you're happy with your text you'll need to use the 'Create Outlines' function then save your file as an SVG. Import that into Fusion and your text will extrude without issue. Trying to extrude fonts directly with Fusion's text tool is a nightmare. It doesn't play nice with all fonts.
This is very true. However once you start doing volume that 6 step process you laid out is also very time consuming. When you are just starting out though it's a great option.
@@3dDesignBros Yes, agreed! I think the automation of this process is what everyone is interested in, me included! Might be giving away your ‘secret sauce’ though ;)
You mentioned that you have an automated procedure to take the names from orders and create the files for printing, do you have a video or instructions on how this is done???
I am loving 3D print force. It’s an amazing tool. Couple suggestions adding pre and post processing time to it. That will help with resin pricing also. However with that said you did a amazing job ing job on building it out and I use it constantly
I m starting my business cause of you ! I bought my P1S yesterday ☺️ I Hope I will be able to translate all the things you are explaining to the french market
another great video. This last year of videos has really helped me focus my business and trim the cost and make more profits. My summer goal is stepping up my listing pictures quality like you have said and adding videos
So i have been 3 printing for a year now. Im going to push to start my own business. Ill make a load of prints i think people will buy and take down to my local car boots. Just to see what people are interested in. My goal is to make atleast 20 different useful prints. If this works out ill subscribe and pay the monthly fee on your page. Then i will branch out to esty like you have. Ill start with what you think is popular. I hope your advice can kick start me into gear. I have a qudi xmax3 which is a great printer and ive just purchased a bambu x1 combo ams. This will help cut time and allow me to make more prints.
Let's suppose you have an injection machine and can make 50,000 items a month. Which product would you choose? How would you do it? (forget about the machine and mold costs). Part size limited to 80x80mm - 20grams
I wouldn't. The competitive advantage of 3d printing is that I don't have to keep inventory. The only way I would look at injection modeling is if I cam up with a product so unique, it needed pattens, and that was the only item I was planing on selling.
quick question, I also do laser engraving can you engrave on these products? I have a 3D printer given to me, which I'm getting this coming Thursday 10/17/24. It's been sitting in her garage for almost a year so I hope it still works.
@@3dDesignBros the 3D printer did not work so I'm going to start with the Bambu A1 mini and was wondering if any of your designs would work before signing up on your site.
Cool Video, thanks. Q: If you are creating new designs; 1] How can you protect your IP? What are the steps? 2] How many designs do you need to create a library? 3] How/where do you market them? I haven't seen a video from any content creator about this process or even where to begin.
These are great questions and a whole video could be made about it. 1. I've found that other members of community police any IP infringement better then I could. If they are following the rules and paying for a license they don't want other people stealing what they are paying for. 2. No minimum. I've seen people get started with one design because it goes viral and people want access to it. 3. For sure the best place is social media. Marketing is more important then anything. If people want the model they will let you know and ask for a link or where they can buy, etc.
The idea is do the effort once and then it's $1k a month indefinitely. You also don't stop with just one product. You get 3, 5, 10 different products all producing and now you have a profitable business.
@@3dDesignBros Customers' needs and tastes constantly change. What works this month or this year may not work the next. "Setting it and forgetting it" doesn't seem realistic.
@@bernardtarverneeds and changes don’t change over night though. Sure, maybe a product will become less relevant after a couple years or so. But that’s 24+ months of income from your initial effort on that one product.

Can you make a tutorial showing how you use other peoples fonts and how you automated the text? Very curious to see how this is accomplished!

Great video...thanks! You are right about fonts in Fusion 360. I switched to Affinity Design, export the text as SVG, and it's a dream come true.

For speed, create a flat design, then use orca slicer to put text directly on item. Thats the fastest.
You mentioned that you have an automated procedure to take the names from orders and create the files for printing, do you have a video or instructions on how this is done???
That would be super helpful!
It's using a python script in fusion. It can also be done in openscad
Do you have a video or video recommendation for the automation part of customization?
Not yet...I'll to try to formulate a plan on how to share that process.
Ditto! 😊

Awesome. The next update is going to support pre and post processing!
I'd love to make money 3d printing, but it seems like I'm always messing with something on my printer to make it print right
Thats why I buy Bambu printers. I want to print and make money, not work on printers.

How can people just sell without any certification on the materials? I don't get it...
