The fact that your so transparent about your business is awesome…unlike some other channels with print farms that won’t even show a close up of the type of printers they use 😂

[dowblab]

It's crazy how a single component on a single type of product can support expansion to this scale. Props to you for finding such a niche area ready to be served

[abhijeetsharma]

Looking forward to your course! I’m a software engineer that always wanted a small manufacturing business. I am praying your course can be the holy grail!

The way you isolate the printer vibrations with the shelf panel squares and padding and the UPSs is very intriguing, can't wait for the video on that. love your channel

Ive used Kanban system in my shop for several years. Works great and makes material logistics easier.

So great to see this! I've been running a print farm for a couple years now with 18 printers, and I'm really curious to see what your regular maintenance routine is, like what things you check on what schedule, what parts you replace at what interval, etc. Hopefully enough other farmers would agree to make it worth your while to produce such a video (which I know is a ton of work, having been in video & film production since college). Thanks again!

Great setup, just two cents regarding the UPS battery. I have a background in IT Datacenter and depending on the size of your operation you should get some quotes for a larger UPS system for the whole room instead of deploying for each printer. It will save you money with a larger fleet and maintenance cost can be reduced.

The video was excellent, with a smooth flow and transparent information. It was entertaining and easy to understand. I possess a modest YouTube channel and have been a member of the working dead in a factory for 12+ years, with little to show for my efforts. My wife and I just got our first printer, the Bambu P1S. We are now spreading the word about it and attracting local customers. After watching your video, my wife and I feel confident we could start our own business. Thank you for the video. You just gained two subscribers!

Wow. Congratulations on the success! The farm has grown a ton! Looking forward to more from ya

[gioc]

Really love how organized everything is

[jeffrice]

I love the transparency as well about the farm. There is a crap ton of videos out there but none delve into like you. The one item I am eager to learn about is the software side of things. I can see when you’re small starting out but when you get to this level and managing all of it is my biggest question. Or even the steps from growing from small to medium and then full blown farm. I am also looking to offer laser cutting/engraving and cnc work. I look forward to class as well, keep on with your “greatness”.

If you don't already have a black belt in six sigma, it looks like you could easily use your farm/business as a final masters project to get your black belt. That being said, wow! It looks amazing and I'm sure you'll have great success for many years with your current set up on top of any iterative improvements you'll implement in the years to come.

I would love to hear you discuss why you chose 3d printing over injection moulding especially once you standardized parts.

[edwardmcrichy]

I'd be interested in seeing a video discussing what is good filament. What is the difference between crappy and good? What signs do you look for to indicate good/bad,

[EcomCarl]

Your strategic approach to scaling, especially the use of the system for inventory management, highlights the importance of organization in maximizing productivity and ensuring smooth operations. 🏢

This is great content man! Could you do an explainer on your printer maintenance, what you need to check/when, how you can tell something needs to be changed? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[OomPapaMaoMao]

My little etsy shop has blown up recently and I am struggling to keep up. I think I want to expand and switch my business over to shopify. Looking forward to the course.

[stubbyninja_]

Some of my favorite purchases have been my rolling tables. Making your shop mobile/modular is a game changer for sure

[darmichar]

Can't wait for the video showing how you set the printers up for print farm life.
