I learned quickly that print-on-demand is not the model for me. Designing your own products is definitely the way. I haven't hit $10,000 in 30 days but I have hit $4,500+. I want to incorporate HueForge paintings into my designs but importing the HueForge mesh into Fusion always brings my computer to a halt and everything becomes unusable. Basically there's just not enough computing power to turn the mesh into a solid body. Your HueForge video still informs me to this day, I'm curious if you have any experience/suggestions for editing a HueForge mesh in F360. Thanks as always for the great content!
@ygk3d11 ай бұрын
$4,500+ is still great. Congratulations! Fusion 360 really chokes on large meshes. It would be better to keep the HueForge model separate and combine it with the other model as a final step using a program like Meshmixer. Glad to hear that HueForge video was useful for you!

To make the PETG stick to PLA, you have to raise the temperature a lot for the PETG. I print PETG-CF on PLA supports, on the BL A1 and because of the hardened steel nozzle, I needed to raise from 255 to 275 to make it stick clean. I also turned off the fan for the PLA to have a clean layer over the PETG-CF. Hope this helps

Thanks. Every color is on its own layer. I usually use 2 layers per color, but sometimes more are required for lighter colors. I basically just import each color as a separate SVG and extrude them to defined thicknesses (ex: 0.6mm - 2 layers at 0.3 mm layer height). I use the extrusion offset parameter so the extrusions don’t all originate from the sketch plane, but rather are stacked.

I'm assuming you were printing these out and selling them, but my issue with selling 3d prints even if you design them has always been they take so long to print out. For example a fireplace that size might take 18 hours on a Creality. Assuming you split this and had 3 printers...... 1 for the fireplace 1, for the "logs", and 1 for Santa, this would still only be one fireplace printed a day. Thats not a lot of income per day right, even if everything sells immediately. How are you getting around this, just having hordes of printers? And is there a lot of wear and tear on the machines, running them 18 hours for every print.

Curious that you use different heights for material changes. I'm assuming you then use the flood fill to paint them in Bambu Studio? What I've been doing is in Fusion, creating different Bodies for each thing that needs a material change. Then I export each body as its own STL. In Bambu Studio I then load all the STLs are once, which makes them sub objects. I can then simply select the material change for each sub object. That said, while this works a charm in Bambu Studio it is VERY messy and hard to manage sometimes in Fusion. Even worse things like text for personalization, ends up with a body for every letter :(

Uh, yeah youre wife was right about the fire, definitely looks good, but at the same time it sort of makes it look like a torture machine / deathtrap for santa haha. At least the fire is removable tho so when he starts getting down there you can take it out before the kids start getting worried or something lol

it's nice to see one of these "3D printing businesses" actually do the work, appreciate your video. as someone who has actually built a business, i honestly despise how many makers have started to act like they're business owners, while all they do is use other peoples 3d models, and other peoples store fronts, and other peoples logistics, it's just lazy. at best they're wannabe manufacturers. IMO they should just stick with youtube.

Thanks for watching! It’s an interesting time we live in. It’s never been easier to start generating revenue from the comfort of your own home. The problem in the 3D printing space is that the market quickly becomes saturated with identical offerings. There’s nothing wrong with licensing someone else’s catalog, but as your skills progress, it’s nice to start designing your own products as well. I personally find that much more fulfilling.

Although I agree I'm not impressed with creators who don't make their own designs, I have to push back a little on the lazy claim. It's not laziness to take advantage of a platform that does so much of the necessary functions of a business which have nothing to do with the designing and creating that made you want to start a business in the first place. It's actually very smart. No creator starts a business because they love having to get good with website maintenance or payroll or packaging or shipping or tax reporting or....you get the idea. I get so much more design done as a result, which is the part of the business that's actually fun & rewarding. And necessary for the business to grow

According to 0:18, you made $6.8K the month prior, which is nothing to sneeze at. However, you might want to be more sincere with your sales figures.

I did say “in the last 30 days”. Sales are always higher for every business this time of year (Christmas). Not trying to misrepresent, but a round number makes for a catchier title.

@@bernardtarver titles need to be short and sweet. Adding “ in one” makes it unnecessarily long. We have months that are that high. Others are lower. But that’s all besides the point. This is a tutorial to show how to design things in order to achieve that volume of sales.

How to create originals designs: Step 1: Take all the concept from already existing object. Step 2: Add extra details (make sure to take them from internet for free) Step 3: Call it Original Design
@ygk3d11 ай бұрын
I explicitly acknowledged that the concept wasn’t original. Not all ideas need to be revolutionary. Sometimes it’s enough to improve on an existing concept.
