    Great video. Exactly mirrored my experience selling 3d prints online. I like that you emphasized the importance of finding efficient products to sell. Creating big items is fun but very impractical long term. Selling small functional items and then marketing them based on the value they provide rather than if a small plastic thing should be as expensive as you made it is key

    @Antics253 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've been thinking of trying my hand at using my Ender printer for producing prints for sale, but my experience with 3D modeling is very limited, so I'm reliant on others' creations for my own use at home. Being a programmer myself, it resonated with me and I loved how you mentioned that even if its listed as fair use, to always contact the creator for approval before sale -- this encouraged me to look further into making my own models before ever selling others. Fantastic video and well informative for everyone, from a novice to a pro, all around Uncle. I've never seen your channel before, but this was a winner in my book.
    Keep up the great work, be safe, and know you just pushed someone to learn a new skill that will hopefully better the lives of others in the process!

      Selling fan art is very risky, but is a good way to generate startup capital to pivot to legit owned/licensed works. The key is to make just enough money not to get too much attention, and then get out when you've made enough. I switched to legit/owned works once I had funded $100K worth of tools and equipment. It took a year to build a new fan base on my work (vice Marvel, Bethesda, etc) but now I'm selling my own work at a rate that surpasses the fan art. It can be done!!

    My son and i just got into 3d printing. He wants to go that direction with his education. He is 15 and autistic.
    I bought the cheapest printer i could find. A cloned clone of a cloned a8. As expected is was not all that good but that was the point. Learned my son how to design parts to improve the printer. When the mainboard blew up we made it arduino controlled. The printet works just fine now.
    We both learned a lot of that piece of junk. Now we have a ender3 wich ofcourse is a lot better.

    I like the video, but I think some basic business analysis and cash flow calculations should be included to paint a more accurate picture.
    Based on the revenue total you show vs sales numbers and parts, I made some basic estimates on the actual cost of goods sold (COGS) vs Revenue and Expenses. This includes estimated time for print at 1.25 hrs, cost of electricity at $0.15/kwhr, PLA at at $20/kg, box and shipping materials at less than $1, and only 30 minutes of your time spent setting up print, removing print, cleaning up parts, printing label, packing box, and taking out to mailbox. I also assumed shipping to be about 95% the cost assigned from Etsy at sale, and included the Etsy $0.20 fee to post an item and a 5% fee at sale.
    Assuming roughly 1100 sales of the XBox part and 850 of the PS4 (this gets to about the revenue number you show), your actual take home pay is roughly $12.30/hr. This does not include whatever cut you promised to PixelLogic for the design usage.

      For a side gig (which I believe this is for him), that's pretty decent I'd say, then again, I'm used to EU salaries being way lower than US salaries so I might not be up to snuff here, but for basically half an hour of actual work (since you're just doing whatever while it's printing on its own), it seems pretty good.

    • @zhaetur
      @zhaetur 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think your time calculation is incorrect. All of the tasks you listed would take maybe 5 minutes. I do this every day and if you run your operation efficiently you can do things very quickly. If you're printing the same thing you don't need to spend time setting up the print (if not its very fast still), removing the print just takes a second, if you print your parts correctly you shouldn't need cleanup, printing a label on label paper and applying it to packaging is fast and effortless, If you use padded mailer bags (very cheap and high quality feeling - highly recommended) packaging products up is a fast process, and you can take all your stuff to your mailbox once a day.

    Great video! I've owned a 3D (FDM) printer for a while now, and I've recently been thinking about using it to make prints to sell, so this video is very timely! I was wondering the following - for prints you sell (like the game controller mod), 1) what material do you print (PLA? ABS? PETG?) 2) What layer height (and deciding on layer height and print quality vs. time for a commercial print)? 3) Infil (and durability/amount of material vs cost for a commercial print)? Thanks!

    • @zhaetur
      @zhaetur 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I like to use a .6mm nozzle on my parts. Saves time for sure. I also print at the highest layer height I can get away with which is .3mm usually unless the part is very square then I use .4 or .5. I print with either pla+ or petg. I find pla+ more reliable but am warming up to petg (had to deal with a lot of bullshit with it when first starting out. now that I have nicer printers I'm warming back up to it). I usually use 5 or 10 percent infill. Most of the part's strength comes from wall thickness so I'll have 3 or 4 walls on all sides tho. Parts are quite sturdy this way.

I saw the specs from the originator and it was pretty much the same so I just bought one anyway. I figured if it sucked it didn’t matter cause it was cheap. This thing is the biggest piece of shit rip-off I’ve ever come across on ETSY. You can’t access your PS4 home button with this attached. It’s a bitch to get on. It cracked the second time I put it on anyway. But not before causing my controller to have drift issues after using only twice. I’m just thankful that I tested it on my second controller and didn’t ruin my main one with this shit box of a product.

    You are right. We've had folks asking about their pricing for lithograph lamps on one of my fb printer groups.
    If you don't know what that is, it is taking a picture and literally printing it w/ a 3d printer. Then building a light or when you make it you design it so it can be looked at w/ light. It is truly amazing to see and one guy came on. Showed us his end results and asked if 30 bucks was too much. What he had was something he created in fusion 360, added a light kit to, and some wonderfully printed lithographs which he showed us. We told him he was seriously undercutting himself. He needed to figure out how much time he spent designing this, the material costs, and his time cost. I pointed out while he could offer a discount after that it was his choice, but he should at least make it his time cost vs material costs so he at least made that money back. One more important thing, he needed to keep in mind not everyone can make these things. More people are, but it's not something you can buy at Walmart. This is a custom design made with a custom print from their photo which they asked him to do. So he has no copyright issues or licensing issues. He could also go on things like fiver and advertise his service and/or create a web page.
    I told him that he could start w/ his first sale high enough to make his money and some time back, but if he got swamped w/ orders, he would need to consider raising the cost, because that would be a strong indication that he was way too cheap. To be honest we told him he was probably too cheap at $30.00. Again this is custom work. W/ the work he put in, I'm willing to bet that if he wanted, he could have designed it so they could swap at the lithograph prints if they wanted to.
