Great and useful video. New subscriber here 👏🏼👏🏼
You're just selling all your own/affiliate shit in this video. All you gave was common knowledge. 6 downloads a month for $10? Get the fuck out of here. 😂
What a slimy licensing agreement.
No one be fooled by this guy rummaging around in your pockets. All this video is, is an advertisement masquerading as knowledge.
Word of advice for anyone: don't buy an ink jet printer, buy a thermal printer it will save you money in the long run and the sticker label looks more professional. Also the bambu A1 is a perfect printer for just starting out and it's $300 cheaper and is great if your only printing PLA
TPU or PETG.
Anycubic kobra 2 neo (150-180$), anycubic pla filaments (black or white) and you don't need any setup. You can buy 5 of them and print. Slower if you consider only 1 but with 5 you are faster than 1 bamboo lab. First and only upgrade an enclosure, a cheap soft box one is more than enough
I just started 3d printing last month. Started off with a ender 3 v2 then upgraded to a K1. Once I get further in I plan on getting a x1c or P1P
What if you can’t use Etsy is there another option
No one wanting to run a print farm should buy a bamboo labs printer and anyone that suggests it is either uninformed or an idiot.
1) You HAVE to use their own slicer (or Orca Slicer which is basically the same thing) and their slicer is a cloud based slicer. Using it means uploading to the cloud which means a) they have access and a licence to, your models and b) if you ever do custom work for people, you would have to buy new printers because you wouldn't be able to print their IP on your bamboo labs because you are transfering a license you don't own, to a third party. Thus commiting copyright theft at minimum and possibly even breaking an NDA.
2) The system they use in their upper models is set up in a way that they can, at anypoint, lock their system to using only their filament. They have said they won't do that, but why introduce a system you have no intention to use? It is a waste of money.
3) Bamboo Labs printers are technically illegal. The system was built on an Opensource platform which not only do they not provide credit to but they have illegally closed the source off to create an enclosed system.
4) Price. The Opensource system mentioned above, core XY is used in multiple other printers. For example, the Sovol SV08. It is basically an identical printer to the carbon for half the price. Sure the SV 08 isn't enclosed nore does it have LIDAR but do you need them?
Edit. The SV08 is bigger than the carbon for half the price and the same print speed.
You are also assuming that Etsy will work out. I tried to open up an Etsy shop with some 3d printed desk accessories but I was immediately banned after opening the shop (seconds after going live), and when I tried to appeal I was permanently suspended. I never received a message for why the suspension happened in the first place, even though I made sure I followed all the guidelines and avoided any copyright issues.
I already bought my way up to the top and bought the X1C. Bought it to solve problems around the house but I wouldn't mind making a few bucks off it.
Definitely the P1P or P1S. 2 Printers, a very sturdy workbench/shelf setup, 5-10 rolls of filament, some spare parts and miscellaneous maintenance items and you're good to go! Shipping supplies as well, but those are fairly cheap. You could even make it work with 1 printer but that isn't ideal
Is Elegoo Neptune 4 pro also a good printer to start with?
I want to start selling prints but I just have no ideas to create new prints. And when I do I just don’t have the skills or motivation to learn that sharp of a learning curve
Really useful brother very excited to see the technology best of luck 👍👍👍👍
As a sound engineer I appreciate your mic choice, Aston makes great mics!
Thank you
I’m 14 and have been 3d printing for my personal benefit for a few years. I am so so passionate about it all, and my dream is to be able to do what you’re doing as a job in the future. I think I’m gonna go for it and try my absolute best. I have the p1s with the ams, so I have the tools to do so. Quick question though. Would you say that functional products are the best to sell ?
Hello i’m very new to this and i want to start from smth can you suggest any 3D printer? My budget is about 400$
I just hate being poor :c
Just 3d print few hundred auto-sear and take it to the gun buy back program. You will make a couple thousands dollar in a day. 😂 💵
what do you think about the a1 from bamboo for lower entry or for quicker build out?
Found this and it really kicked me into gear to take my thought of starting a 3D printing company into motivation to make it reality. I won't hold it against you that you keep buying Bambu. They work when they work, like all others. I dipped in with Prusa and their print farm printing printers showed me they stand up. I also liked that it was easy to change out any part and sourcing my own if needed. Working on gathering ideas and making things in Fusion 360. I will be up there with you soon. I even found a company that I can source to handle any huge rush of sales until I can ramp of printers if needed. Or just handle the spike of sales.
I just bought an X1C and want to make money with it. The hard part is actually making sales on Etsy, the rest is pretty straight forward. I would love to know the kind of products that do well as well as ones to stay away from.
Thank you for the video. I have a question, I checked some of the products on the website you mentioned but I saw some stuff with Nintendo or Pokémon, is this license OK to sell this branded products? One example is a Mario cap or Goku.
Thank you
"Why do I need to know?" Based.
Great video. I tried to do this but it proved too much for me. Still, others will find some tidbits. The only thing I can add is if you are skilled enough to design your own, try branching into other avenues as well such as an illustrator/vector graphics. Once you learn that skill you can extrude the drawing for more models or art books, etc.
It doesn’t seem like the bambu has a large printing surface. Do you ever see that as an issue? I currently have an elegoo Neptune 3 Pro and am looking at adding a Neptune 4 max. Full disclosure though, I don’t understand the significance of the speed increase when most maximum print speeds are 90 mm/s. I’m very new though.
Would you recommend the P1P over the A1 combo which could do multi color prints
First lol
