Hi! My name is Macy. I taught 7th grade math for 6 years and now I make art using 3d printers. I mainly make videos about my design/printing process using Adobe Illustrator and TinkerCad, and I also show some behind the scenes content for my Etsy shop. Thank you so much for watching and being apart of my little community. Your support means the world to me and I'm excited to be on this 3d printing journey with you guys.
You better be upgrading your electrical also if not you will overload your outlets. With all the printers you want to run youll need proper ventilation. Right now you dont have it. If your going to do this do it right or maybe suffer in the future.
Thanks for the video. I haven't looked through all comments but AJAX has a good video explaining how he increases thickness of the base layer in Bambu slicer to get less flimsy prints without impacting a preferred finished result of the HueForge output.
Good on you for reusing those spools! If you are looking for a way to reuse empty spools, I have just the way! If you are using bambu spools, you might want to consider printing the reusable spool carousel that you can see on bambu lab's channel. Another way is to purchase refills instead of new filaments with spools on bambu lab's store, iirc, you can get 4 dollars off on a new spool, you might also be able to get some out of stock colors!
Anyone say to use hair spray yet? Its my go to for all bed adhesion issues. Aqua Net hairspray, the purple can. I spray that on plate before any print Im worried about bed adhesion on.
Just going to add the same thing I always add when I bump into print farm videos; air filtration or fume extraction. While PLA is "safe" in that it's the least bad of all filaments, you're still inhaling a huge amount of ultra-fine particles, various fumes and such. Right now, nobody knows the long term effects of 3D printing, we are the guinea pigs. Better safe than sorry should be the standard mode of operation for all of us in this hobby.
Started my 3d printing business back in 2015 most had no idea what 3d printing was yet. Did mostly print on demand locally and prototype design did pretty well. Then I opened a Etsy shop that does not do as well. I actually have a bit better sale on eBay then I do on Etsy not sure why. Seems you are doing a bit better than me, and I've been at this almost 10 yrs. lol. I have had some of those fears you did I have 4 day processing time I believe. I got really good and fixing 3d printers so much, so I offer that as service now as well with a lot more people getting into 3d printing.
I used to use glue stick or hairspray but yea. Clean with dawn dish soap and dry with rubbing alcohol and your good to go as long as you don't put your fingers all over the plates.
I just gotta say, I respect you and your hustle so much, you are truly inspirational as an entrepeneur. I'm honestly watching you and taking notes. Great videos, great business idea, making the equipment work for you, bravo!
Not sure why so many people like Bamboo labs for print farms. Sure the printers are good, and in your case it's probably fine. But if you ever needed to print something you had to sign an NDA for you would have to buy a new set of printers because anything you print on a bamboo labs printer would break NDA. I am also against them because the way the printers are made, at any moment they could flip a switch and make it so you can only use bamboo labs filament. Then you are locked into buying their filament.
Bambu printers have no way to detect what filament is being used. That feature is limited to the AMS...and even that feature is limited to color detection. Any filament can be used with the AMS. They also don't limit what slicer you use, you can use any slicer you want. In fact, they're actively expanding by allowing 3d print farm software like OctoPrint to access their software for farm use. I own 3 bambu's (coming from Elegoo) and plan on buying many more. Simple, reliable, cheap to maintain, and great support from Bambu Labs.
@@Sevensup it's currently programmed to only check colour, but at any point it could be changed. It can be set to only work if an rfid is present and by extension, they could make it so the chips can't be reused. As for the slicers and only working online, I have been corrected on that and I understand I am wrong. However to begin with, the bambu labs slicer did not have lan mode.
Elmer's stick glue is the OG, it's still the go to, any one saying other wise is either ignorant or trying to sway at over priced glue sticks!!! just keep using it
If you are going to keep adding printers to that room it is probably time to upgrade the electric and add dedicated power for the room. You are probably starting to max out that room electric as it is.
Nice video. i want to buy an A1 to print with my 12y old son. But he is really sensitive to smells , allergen , pollen......and i wonder if the filaments can create micro particles or fumes or chemical vapors that can harm health. i hope you can comment.! tks
Hey, thank you for the video. Do you have any alternative suggestions for adobe illustrator? As a college student I have access to the entire autodesk library but don't know what would be the best alternative.
