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.

As a sound engineer I appreciate your mic choice, Aston makes great mics!

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

[Crentonius]

Just bought a p1p, glad to see another pro recommend it!

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.

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 have been watching a lot of 3d printing start uo videos for beginners like myself. But one thing i noticed is that it’s rare for someone to talk about the considerations of where you can setup in your home. Not everyone has a spare room or a basement, here in the UK, to isolate the printer. Some say there fumes to consider, air temp and humidity, etc.

Great video, thanks for posting! I'm at three printers total right now, two for my microfarm and one I do my prototyping on (two bambu A1s and an A1 mini). My listings gettting traction and products to sell are my roadblocks at the moment.

Also another great starter 3D printer is the Elegoo Neptune 3 pro. Auto level and that thing just prints non-stop. No as fast as the P1P but definitely not as expensive either. The price trade off you get is really only about speed of the CoreXY design.

I'm about to graduate my AutoCAD course and have been eyeballing 3d printers forever. Super interested in trying to start a business with 3d printers and maybe somewhere down the line subscribing to a license for AutoCAD to use those STL files commercially. Subscribed!

[RoseKindred]

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.

I have 2 carbons and Xtool laser, I still dont sell anything LOL I just dislike shipping and people haha ...

[michawasiljew]

that looks proper cool, what lights are you using ?

[Tom_Alexander]

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

[TwerpJJ]

I loved this video!
Just a quick question, is it best to put a limit on how many of each item you have in stock on Etsy or is it best to print as they’re ordered. Do you say the items are made to order and may take a day or 2 before shipping?
Thank you 🙌🏻

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

[TGrach]

What if you can’t use Etsy is there another option

[IGarrettI]

Second on the printer. I got one second hand. It works, but its sooo unreliable, even after ive tweaked the shit out of it. Now im ready to buy a new one with a lot of the things fixed. Couldvr just bought a good one in the first place

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 ?
