Setting Up A 3D Print Farm

I accidentally started a print farm. And while going through the process of setting this up, I thought I’d share my experience with you all. I’ll show you my printer set up, how I package and ship products, along with a few efficiency tips along the way. Enjoy!

A tool I'm using to help grow my channel is called Tube Buddy and it helps me identify specific keywords that will help get my videos found on YouTube. I've found it very helpful when brainstorming video title ideas and finding tags that are specific to my video.

I've dealt with plastic for over 30 years as an industrial designer. PLA still contains virgin polymer, it's not 100% safe to breathe in on a regular basis, especially for kids. I would move the setup to the garage and vent it out.

[chuysaucedo]

Cool stuff. Travis does have some good ideas!

[NWGR]

Great setup! I got the MDF+foam weather stripping idea from Travis as well. It works great and far easier to manage than the paver method.
Great idea with all the QR codes, implementing that in my mini farm for sure!

[PrintedByJohn]

Wow, that's great what you've done and the cool system you have created. I would recommend some air quality stuff I just vent my fumes outside.

Wish I Could Get To This Point. I've Got The Space And A Decent Printer Already To Start. Just Haven't Found A Product People Want. Tried Everything From Fidget Toys, Planters, Articulated Creatures, Storage Solutions For Things Like Batterries Etc... No Joy Yet. Not Even A Single Order.

QR codes are an under rated tool! I tried gettting my company to use them years ago, but they shot it down.

[BLECHHAUS]

I would like to suggest attaching these foam rubber strips to the sides of the panels where they meet. Of course, the panels will then have to be cut a little shorter.

[MrStrosty]

You should do a video on how to set up those QR codes.

[AsasiyyunETH]

great video dude! I got my P1S in november and im loving it! I would love to do some stuff to sell but i don't even know where to sell or how... Do you have like a guide or did you followed any guide to start the farm? Really would love to hear how did you start! Keep it up!

[theGemmiG]

Great video! Are you able to recored smth about maintenance? :)

[WRESTLISTIC]

Did you ever made any video on UPS for 3d printer?

[geor]

Great video, so you use only PLA filament or do you use other kinds?

[hackstergirl]

loved the video, thinking of starting a print farm myself. What platforms do you use to sell your products?

[HardwareFRA]

What are those blue tape on the printers ?
Where do you sell your prints ?
Thank you for the video 😉

[wynton]

Who is the guy you mentioned learning a bunch of these tips from?

[online-store]

Thanks for the video. How much money do you earn with your 3d printer farm? I am about to start a 3d printer farm as well. And you have a nice setup by the way.

Got any video of that rack with all the printers going? Just bought the same rack and I wanted to see what the shake was like. My main concern is I want to put a Resin printer on the bottom shelf, and a 2 Bambu X1C on the mid shelf. Curious if the Vibration from the X1C would cause any issue to the Resin Vat

[masoncamp]

What type of measurements for the MDF did you use for the rack you chose?

[johnstup]

"I accidently started a print farm". Haha. I'm trying to avoid that at the moment. lol. You have a nice setup there. Like the use of QR codes to order supplies and keep maintenance records. Don't think Travis does that. You got one up on him in that department. Thanks for showing your print farm beginnings (you know you'll add more 😁).

How many printers does it take to make a “Print Farm”? Let me know!
