@@purplecowadoom That's a great application for sure. I probably should have put more emphasis on this test being a "can we do it?" project more than a "should we do it?" project 😅. My goal was to make a bearing by relying completely on the 3D printer and what any 3D printing enthusiasts may have laying around (filament). Bbs, along with many other cheap materials, are definitely a better option in 99.9% of cases. The ultimate goal of any of our engineering videos is to spark creativity and by creating something, all while not crossing into spam/click bait territory. This video did 1,000x better than I expected and the ideas I've seen in these comments are exactly what I hoped for. Cheers 🤘🏻

Haha, I remember thinking the same thing when I was starting out. Very cool system/business model by the way 😎 When you are first starting out and learning, there's nothing wrong with finding a reliable local gig that is only possible if the rate is extremely low. You most likely won't ever get high schools and parents to pay you what you're worth. You can however use the experience and money to expand on your knowledge, skills and eventually gear. (Gear is the least important). Also, the type of work you do is more in the category of event coverage, at a school, which means you don't have much room in their budget. I would advice expanding into more wealthy clients. I never dreamed I would get $2,500 for my first wedding video (in a small poor town and for someone I knew that wasn't loaded either). Now I won't do a wedding video for less than $5k. Our drones don't leave the shop for less than $1k anymore. Even for the simple stuff. (Unless we are just having fun lol) This calculator is meant to be a baseline and you can always adjust your hourly rate in the beginning to help offset some things. It also helps remind you of all the work you will have involved in a project like this. Sure, it may be too high, but in my experience, I've almost always bid WAY too low for business owners and other corporate clients. They are paying you for 5 main things: 1. Your experience, and knowledge 2. Your creative eye filming 3. Your equipment, software, insurance, and licenses. 4. Your editing abilities 5. Your licensed assets (music, etc..)

One last note: I'm still embarrassed to ask for large amounts on a contract. You'll get used to it, and it's almost entirely a false fear. I had a cemetery that I did drone property coverage for and I was embarrassed to ask for $2,000 (first 6 months with a 107, flying a mavic pro). The manager of the cemetery said I should rethink that number and ask again. They paid us $3k 😆

Here is the new link. This will also be live on other platforms tomorrow: cults3d.com/:2543315

@@Douglemagne Sorry to hear that! I completely agree, they should absolutely have a one-click arm/disarm that's either default, or extremely obvious. Cheers 🤘🏻

@@ajb_b00m are you looking for the printable file or the finished product? If it's the finished product you can locate it from one of our Authorized sellers on Etsy. Search "Starship Pen Holder" on Etsy. They should have our name in the description. Alternatively, the print files are on our Patreon: CK3DPRINTS

I agree, it's great unless there are bugs. Sometimes, a simple layer height or line width adjustment will solve it, but not always. Classic is a good backup, and still works great on basic shapes with square walls, etc...

@@mastoman1 They definitely aren't as good as metal springs, but if you want something fully 3D printed, or as a prototype, they can be great.

Thank you!

@@BluePhantomCreations Thanks! It's a PETG spring shaped like a wishbone. The clamp hinge is in the middle so pushing straight back on the center makes it want to collapse. Great idea, lol. I'll make that video very soon 😅

@ love it! Thanks!
