I believe Matthew Peech made one from wood. I don't know if he has a video about the build, but it's in the background of most of his videos.

Framework laptop. Legit.

give old ones away to schools or something

You are obviously doing well, but this is a reminder to not ever lock yourself into one product over another. Don’t think you have to go with one over another just because you have been using one forever. Can make or break you, and the printer vendors won’t care either way.

Forgive me if you've already gone over it, but what sort of fire safety measures do you have (if any) for the farm? Fire extinguisher balls? Sprinklers?

Just think of all of the Gummy Bears!

Joel: Choose THE machine, I went with the Prussa ecosyste... (Me looking around awkwardly at my 5 different printers from 4 different brands with different sizes and nozzles) In all fairness my setup is more of a workshop where I do a bunch of different things and each printer does something different. Cosplay helemts here, tabletop terrain there, tpu stuff in this one... etc. and not so much a farm

I would install a SPD on the Breaker box for the whole shop to clamp incoming surges! Midnight solar makes some of the best then I would use your regular surge protectors. Midnite also has small voltage one that could possibly work for regular voltage at outlet boxes, or you can have an Isolated ground for each box as extra protection. But I’m not an electrician, but I’ve been researching for safest operation of my small farm. For the WiFi I put all my Filament and Resin printers on a private separate unifi vlan network with some advanced security settings and a honeypot. And I’m setting up sensors, air quality monitoring humidity/temp, Ubiquiti Poe g4 instant cameras for my printers.

Now, THATS a 3 DIMENSIONAL printer

You can use the mats they use for exercise or the Eva rubber, it is a material similar to exercise mats and I have used them with several 3d printers I got to reduce the noise from 80db to 60db with a 0.5cm layer It's a cheaper recommendation than being with concrete pavers

You dodged a bullet not going Bambu.

Great watches would love to see one in the flesh ❤

How can i buy the robot in germany? Is the project still alive because on social media the posts are from May 24?

Dont worry i get it i live in a house made by my grandfather an each time i touch any tap i get to get a lite buzz (on the hand of course)😅

i only have 3 fdm printers in my "farm"... the 2 resin printers in addition make farm sound more like the correct term though i haven't used them in years. couple things i'm proud of - all tasmota wifi sockets that start up all the aux equipment at once (exhaust, air cleaner, filament dryer, enclosure heater, work lighting), auto power off when printers idle for an hour, and 433 mhz connected smoke detectors (one ionizing, one particle detecting... actually the ionizing one is dumb but there is a zwave alarm detector near it that makes it connected) that automatically power off everything on alarm (except the cameras). could do this with home assistant but i wrote some custom software for it. then the other thing i'm proud of is all spools are in rubbermaid dry boxes. i also have some rewinding spools that hang from the same hangers as the dryboxes if i ever need to load a bunch of colors for multi color (i have a mmu2). i standardize colors for materials so years later when i try to remember what material a particular part is made off i know just by looking at it. i really like the thermochromic filaments even though they might be slightly weaker it's really handy for some projects to see if a part is warm or wet. i use those for pla and abs. petg is always translucent, asa is always white since it might go outdoors. black for tpu. there's also some bluetooth thermometers that i don't really look at much. pavers and foam under all fdm, why not, they're so cheap and flat and stable and make all the difference with noise. i also want to get a mark 4 for softer flexibles.

It's so nice to see so many Prusas in one place.

ALHAMDULLILAH YOUR A VIDEO CAME ON TO ME RIGHT TIME SIR THANKS FOR THIS AMAZING TOOL.

Wait - you didn't build them all from the kit? Where's your dedication to the cause? 😜

I would start a farm when i find something sellable to print, or think of something. Most things are either useless items that hardly sell anymore as the newness has worn off. Or they turn out to be too fragile to realistically sell without being a burden on your customers.

It seems like Prusa has a golden opportunity to add a feature where you can "pre provision" the printer on first boot using a script on the USB drive. In Linux, since we often set up tens or hundreds of servers, there's a concept of a "kickstart" script, for first setup, where it will install things, configure networking, set a name (can even pull a name from a central server), etc. It saves a ton of time since you literally plug the machine in then walk away. For 3DP, you'd need to manually load filament, but it seems like for farmers, everything else in that process could be automated!

I wonder, if you knew the Core One was coming out when you placed the order, would you have waited for its release?

I might be grasping at straws here, but have you considered also cutting the plywood such that each printer is sitting on its own piece? That would reduce any potential coupling between printers on the same shelf.

NIIICCCEEEE!!!!!

i'd probably accidentally knock over the mountain

open Q and A video topic too please 3d printer micro sd card reading limits -- whats a solution for not being about to buy small gigabyte micro sd cards soon my loc office shop is stocking only 64gb as the smallest micro sd card limits can buy 8gb fake ebay cards?

Did you think about power outages when designing your farm? I ask because I didn’t notice and battery backup systems.

you're awesome

Love the video. Just one question, where did you get the design for the multi coloured chest of draws in the background?? My kids love it and want me to print some.

When do you get the new Core one?

With so many machines densely packed into a small(ish?) room, how do you handle air conditioning?

I still dont understand printfarms….if you have something like that, somebody should buy those prints….and I still havent seen any FDM printed parts on any devices. Those parts are used to what? Who buys those? Just one example…please.

And you know what else Is massive?

I just don't get it.. Who are buying 3d printed stuff like toys and so. How the quality is today I wouldn't be close to happy with the parts, and don't even talk about how brittle the parts are. I have a 3d printers and know that it's useful for some parts in the home and so but that is mainly because you can design the part as you want it. The time vs quality is not in my mind not even close to good.

As always, love your content. I have absolutely no need for a print farm, but I would love to have one just because how cool it looks. Haha! Now, go get some rest! I feel you look very tired in this video. Hi five!

Amazing project! I know you build this farm before Core One came out. If you were doing it today, would you stick with the MK4S or would you have done Core One? Why/why not? By the way, I don't have any plans to create a farm, but I think of these videos a bit like the auto companies that have race divisions -- those of us running a couple of machines can learn from folks who run dozens. Love your content, thanks for sharing.

I'm a french guy with a litlle print farm. I've got chineese printers.And I'm thinking about the next step. Bambu didn't interest me a lot, due to its closed ecosystem. Prusa is more in my mood. And I'm pleased to see more from your feedback. In particular the "Prusa Connect" experience. Because several printers I've got are managed with klipper. And I love it!

I'm sure this was recorded ahead of time but seeing this come out and they aren't bambus given the current state bambu is in is hilarious to me. It certainly feels like the right choice to me, i only wonder what the heck you guys with so many printers are actually printing to need this many lol. Amazing Joel, can't wait to see what comes next.

Been watching you since day 1, man you sure came a long way since then. I myself have 2 MK3S machines and I keep them fairly busy but not enough to need a bigger farm at this time. I am always trying to figure out new things to print for sale and the printers have paid for themselves many times over.

Also, thank you @3D Printing Nerd for the discount code - it still works a month later!

All the very best with your new machines, I hope they give you the years of service you want. 120v sucks for heaters doesn't it.

Hey everyone. Has anyone who owns a Prusa HT90 compared it to this FLSUN S1 Pro? I mean, I know the HT90 has the high temp head and heated chamber. But I am kind of curious to know how S1 does with large ABS prints. How hot does the chamber get on the S1? All I can find is how hot the filament chamber gets but nothing about the print chamber. Obviously the price difference between the HT90 and S1 is so vast but apart from that, just wondering.

I’m speechless. I’m a firm believer that Prusa printers are MASSIVELY over priced, and that you can get equal print quality as well as equal features for significantly less cost. I’m floored that you chose this printer.

Very nice. Next task: cameras

@3dprintingnerd Direct question! Why not Bambu? I might know why and you almost said them on this video but would like to hear it from you directly!

I don’t understand why you picked those printers instead of carbon X from bamboo

with bambu doin right now its kinda obvious print farms going back to prusa.

okay, this is an ancient video, but i got a 3D20, spent a ton of time declogging it, and... what ptfe tubing do i use? this didn't come with any, i tried to buy some but itdoes not fit

Very cool setup! Love seeing all the machines in a print farm running at the same time. Prusa was a good solid choice. Thanks for sharing!
