How I turned 3D Printing into my full time business.

a video describing how I went from 1 printer to 30+ in a store front.

[@cavemanjoe7972]

When you do work for bigger companies, it's good practice (and payment incentive) to offer Net 10 1%/30 terms. What that means is that if they pay within 10 days of being invoiced, they get 1% off the total bill. It doesn't seem like much, but it can make a big difference when you're getting paid within like a week instead of having to cover your overhead for 30-60 days.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

thats a good idea!!

[@calledout4437]

Nah make them get out their corporate card and pay upfront.

[@danielb5081]

@@calledout4437 you give up 2% - 6% to the credit card company when you accept payment through them. Take a check IF you know your customer well enough

[@nixonsmateruby1]

I've had an invention in my mind for years and have no idea about design but I bought a printer and I'll see if I can make it appear from my mind. I've had this idea about 30 years and still haven't seen it made.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

3D modeling can be hardest thing to overcome especially if computers are not your thing, i would recommend drawing or describing what you have best as possible, then take it to engineer/3d modeler, they need to be both with a understanding of 3d printing, then you can have them make the files so you can print it. We can do that or find a local person/company that can help :) Might also be good to talk to a product consultant or something related to the invention to make sure its not already out there/a good selling idea before you put to much energy/money into it.

[@chaymber_crafts]

4:30 about the customers that want things done earlier, ivé picked that info up somwhere. Under promise and over deliver. So for a print that takes 1-2 Days, you tell them beforhand that your regular production time is 3-5 Days. In the end you Contact them earlier and tell them their Product is produced. This way you got a safety cushion with your Orders. About Designing, if people want things modeled faster. they would have to pay on top, to move up the Order que with an Express Order. I´m have no Buinsess, so i can´t tell if this is a good strategy or not, but thought it be good to share that thought with you.

[@yourlocaltoad5102]

Get a hood or something for the scanner. Just the stray light from the laser can do eye damage and even if it’s minimal, there is a good chance that you and your employees could get noticeable damage in the long term.

[@electronicsandewastescrapp7384]

This was my thought. Those types of lasers are dangerous just to look at.

[@ogasnor]

I think you're talking about the engravers, the scanner uses LED light, not lasers, and is 100% safe.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

We have moved the small laser and setup the others in ways that dont come in contact with the eyes. Most likely in the future ill be getting a professional 5-8k laser cutter. Was eyeing a nice 130watt system I want now. These will replace and be much safer than these little guys too. Thanks for the comments though it really helps dig in how important it is to keep our eyes safe.

[@RafaelCeballo]

I've been trying real hard to make my printers work for me full time and it's been rough going thus far. Two resin printers, two fdm, and a laser engraver is what I have. BTW, I love your build plate transitions. It's glorious.

[@cdert90]

Thank you!! Be careful with those resin guys, I know most of the resins of cancer toxic so I hope your PPE game is strong!!! Yeah numbers definitely helped when I started getting the orders. As some printers can go down and be very tricky to fix/get reliable again. I hope the best for you. If you need jobs I highly recommend local networking groups and give as many little prints like a flexy octopus away to as many people as you can. They will remember and the marketing will carry far and wide!

[@natefrees4367]

@@cdert90 still watching the rest of the video yet lol but yeah, the resin I'm careful with. It's all kept separate and I'm always wearing gloves and such when I handle the resin. Currently I'm selling on Etsy, I do have my own website and own the domain and I'm trying to transition people over to that but it doesn't get as much traffic as I would like. When you say networking groups, what are you referring to? Cause that's the first time that I've heard that before.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

So you can google your city and state name and "networking" and you will find events where other business owners meetup and just get to know each other. Generally they are full of roofers, people selling makeup/skin care, insurance and other businesses so when a 3d printer goes to them and brings items its easy to steal the show! Bring a give away item and have something new each time you go and it will help. Also chamber of commerce is generally run by the city for business owners to network. Some will be free some will cost a little each time/month. Ill do a video specifically on this soon!

Those of you do net terms ask yourself this, are you a bank? Either the customer sets the expectations or you do. Grow a spin and stick to no net terms. You might lose one here and there, but most will work they way you do. Your cash flow and business stability will thank you. You will set yourself up to grow. That's what I have learned after 9 years of business. Good job on your progress this far, though!

@@JoeStoffa well he has a bunch of printers in the video but that building probably has good air circulation and exhaust so the small ammount of fumes from pla get sucked out of his place probably but for afterburners sake for running only a couple of printers as long as it's not constant 24/7 in a confined space with bad air circulation then pla fumes shouldn't be an issue because pla produces close to no fumes over the course of long prints I get more fumes applying glue stick to my printer bed than I do from pla and I'm in a basement with 1 printer

[@3DPrintsEverything]

Did you say you can print something up to seven feet? MOTHER!!!! I HAVE A DATE!!!! in a few weeks.

[@NWCdunnite]

You mentioned having "print fails" in your new place. In your video of your maker space, it's very 'open' and you might be having airflow/heating fluctuations due to the windows, proximity to them, time of year, etc. that could cause thermal issues for your prints. Just a thought.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

Before this was all setup in a garage with a single ac and some times I could notice the air causing the issues. The shelf actually doesnt get much airflow and when most of them are running it keeps a nice temp together as there is no venting to the back of the shelf or side so it all vents to the front and up, Most of the time its just related to stock bed being a little warn in or the part just being a particular part that like to peel/warp. The snake was warping quite often but other prints work fine over and over again. Linked snake is just a tricky one!

[@MissingLinkMTB]

I see a lot of things for sale that I've printed so I know what went into that particular print. I feel most people underprice themselves. Like why is a print that takes almost a week to print selling for $70?

As much as I've learned from laser is that you should never have it in openspace and visible like that to eyes. As much as I've been told by experts - there shouod always be something between the laser and your eyes...just to be aware and ppl working right next to it...

[@3DPrintsEverything]

Completely agree, I have moved the laser to under the shelf and have my other one set aside, Ill be making sure to keep the light away from our eyes further! These are low powered ones but still the danger is there long term use.

[@MattJonesYT]

There's really no reason why you should have to spend time chasing down customers that don't pay or want to wait weeks or months to pay. Just simply do like any other business and charge up front. If they don't want to pay up front then they are probably a dangerous customer. "Invoicing" is a zero dollar per hour job.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

I 100% agree. But some very large companies do have a net 30 or 45 where they issue a PO (purchase order) for parts and expect them made and delivered and after delivery they pay 30-45 days later. Generally companies like this dont argue, haggle, care about price, so you can upcharge a little more than other one off jobs.

[@DWIT3D]

That's an impressive setup you have there. If I'm being honest, I was surprised to see a Kingrooon farm, but... if they make a good product, then awesome. Very affordable printers to create a farm with. It looks like you have a great handle on them. I've been looking (thinking about) for that niche product I could sell to put my 20+ printers to good use for LOL. Keep up the good work!

Be sure to check licenses before selling prints. Dont end up getting nailed as a pirate like me. Remember designing at home and printing at home dont automaticly give you the right to sell that print. Dont just print what your asked to withoutvlicense checks. Pricing is mostly in license checks cause thats the biggest job. The entire industry being diwn for the last year has been a pain in the neck. Im sure you know no sites anywhere are yet to resume business services meaning nobody can buy nor sell there invention ownership. Im sure you know all that but im posting for uninfirmed newbs. If someine brings you a model to design dont mean you have the right ti sell them a copy of that print. You must check licenses first. If yiu dont know that youd better learn real fast befire you get busted. A person can request a licensed thing and if you sell them a copy they could bust you. But im sure you know this. Cnc has the same licensing as 3d prints. Im going to subscrib to you. Im also going to be watching for any of my prints being sold and royalties being paid. Im going to post you a link to my license sales vid as i get the feeling you should watch it.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

Sure thing. I haven't encountered any jobs that led to me getting any C&D letters or anything. Looking back there were definitely a couple jobs that might have if some lawyer had woke up on the right side of the bed and wanted come after me. All of my business is service based where people request things so even if a job was done outside of license it would be a lot harder for others to find it as im not advertising anything for sale anywhere. That said im never going to intentionally break the law or copy some one elses hard work just to profit on my end. Thanks for the sub!

[@darkshadowsx5949]

I had one customer that kept changing the order and i asked for too little since it was a friend and a bulk order. eventually i lost interest in completing the order. i finish the model and then they asked for more to be added to it increasing the complexity every time. on top of that they wanted 100 of them to start selling. i did a quick start print run of 15 and after the last "i need this added to it now" i just cant get myself to work on it without feeling like i need to go for a jog instead. i hate when i get the feeling like i need to physically run away from the project. I'm fast at modeling but i loose interest if i work on something too much and have frustration with it. that's why i stopped doing game development its just too much to do solo.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

Yeah if they keep changing the job at some point you need to charge more for modeling. Money greases wheel even for friends. Even with my friends I have to just charge them a standard rate and maybe discount it a little bit but there is no "doing it at cost" as at cost raises the majority of complex job raw cost so it becomes easy to get upside down on jobs.

Print a new V for my laptop? Sorry about the clearing i think this day I had allergies or something ill make a new cleaner one some day soon. If some one haggles me rarely, if i like them i may go down a little, its still profitable at 3$ print hour if the print doesnt mess up so if im starting at 6+ you could go down but right now im so busy id rather turn down the 3$ job and keep the 6$+ ones.

be careful with the resin printers you need a clean room setup, PPE, (personal protective equipment) and never to let raw resin touch your skin as well as well ventilated area to work in.

20-40+ a hour. a great modeler who is busy charges north of 100-150+ a hour.

You have gold mind there, good luck always. I saw this on KZbin. I have 5 small dogs and I walk then twice a day sometimes 3 times. In this walks whipe in the park i listen to you tube on my cellphone exposing my cell to thieves very dangerous to say the least. why, because some one always want your cell.what about a dog leach with a blue tooth speaker.small enough the its light to walk with it bit loud enough to hear while walking.look at my profile picture. That with a small blue tooth speaker.

Is there any future in using Resin printers for a business? I have $1,000 for my first 3D 🖨 printer Don't know if I should get a Resin Printer or PLA to learn. I would like a Resin printer for art/hobbies, but seems like PLA printers are the ones being used for business. Should I use the money to jump start a business with PLA or RESIN? I've seen people come up with stronger Resin materials this year. I'm looking at the Anycubic M3 MAX. Or something like the Ankermake printer

[@gladiatormechs5574]

I just bought a biqu b1 SE plus, I plan on making lithophanes and drones/robotics, and custom orders, I really like that printer you have with two extruders. I plan on starting what your started kinda

[@santoshkhade1257]

Hello, I m from IT background but looking to start some innovative business .... Is this business can someone like me start without prior knowledge on printing And designing. I can only invest buying printers and ready to hire experts in that area.

[@smbtecpl]

One of your videos came up on my KZbin feed today. It’s good to see someone doing content that is not just reviews of gear sent to them for free. I see the KP5M on the Kingroon website is available to order. Do you think they are going to be the next standard you will be buying/selling. Speaking of selling, do you source your printer stock direct from Kingroon or through a distributor?

[@3DPrintsEverything]

I get them directly from kingroon. Joan is my contact. I get all the new digs on the new changes too.

If I have 3d modeling skills would a place like this be interested in hiring someone like me? not you specifically but I wonder in the future if this becomes a viable job for 3d modelers who are fluent in maya, blender, 3ds max etc.

[@3DPrintsEverything]

I would suggest looking into the App Fiver.. Lots of potential jobs from Americans looking for services.

[@beingnad135]

@@3DPrintsEverything sir we make industrial printers you think that has the same potential in American market and what about importing the printer do you have any idea
