Step 1 for starting a print farm for profit: Don't.

[@NoName-zk2wv]

You'll need roughly 75 3d printers to make a living of this, because you forgot to count in taxes, a bookkeeper, the initial investment and spare parts. After your 20th printer you'll start wondering whether your house is big enough, and once you reach your 40th, you'll be spending day and night repairing them. Around the 50th customers will get angry, because you never respond to emails. And when you bought your 60th printer, you'll definitely start wondering whether 3d printing is even efficient, because surely there are more profitable ways to cast parts. 3d printing is just a prototyping tool, isn't it? So, why not directly buy something that is intended for mass production, and save yourself 3 years of your life.

How do you factor your overhead cost? Have you measured which 3D printer uses more or less energy? Say for example if you have all your machines making the same thing which uses more energy. Could you do a breakdown of the overhead expenses?

[@vulpine3431]

Since he mentioned “profit” I assume that’s taken into consideration

[@alyandthecats]

There are meters you can put right on the power outlet to measure draw if you want to get very granular about the estimate. You also want to know average cost of the spools you are using, per g or per m. You're slicer should give you an estimate of how much material you'll be using. Then take the cost of your machines and all needed maintenance parts divided by an estimated machine life, and you have the basics of preparing a quote for each file you make. Multiply your quoted price by your failure rate to make sure you are covering hidden costs, too. 5% fail rate = x1.05

usually electricity isn't an issue with 1 or 2 printers, materials is about $25 a reel, that's about 1200 grams of filament per reel so Id say with those tray things hes selling i say 10 of those would be 1 reel (also depends on type of filament).

dude, make a mold of that part out of silicone and cast in plastic. it’s very easy to do. and you can accelerate the plastic to cure in like 15 minutes. demold in about 30 minutes. and make another one immediately after that. you can make a ton of those in one day, vastly i. read your profit margins. And have a part that is much stronger than any 3d print could be. and you could tint it to match any color you would like.

does it need to be stronger? no.

It really all depends on what part you're making. If you can find some kind of specialty part that is no longer being manufactured and has a high demand then you might be able to get significantly more for the individual parts that you're selling

[@KeredAglo]

3D printing is great for prototyping or extremely low production which I would consider 10 and under. The opposite is plastic injection molding for high production runs. But why does no one talk about in between solutions for low production runs? A lot of non mechanical prints I see could be printed, cleaned up and molded for resin casting production runs. A lot of resins can be de-molded and handled after 15 minutes and be set on shelves to finish curing. So if you have simpler prints look into resin casting as a simple way to up your production.

[@dsprecision4782]

Unless your selling a part that take 6 hours to print but is worth $250 each to the customers. All depends on time, cost to print, and product sale price. Also largely depends on printer capabilities. If you can print pc, pekk, peek, nylon, and cf/gf variants of those your profits go up quickly. Which is easy even with an ender 3 with a couple mods, some experience, and a heated enclosure. PLA or PETG will get you absolutely no where other than for prototyping prior to using the real stuff. And if you get an industrial customer its even better.

[@DoneDragon1]

Depends on the product your selling, some stuff can be sold for over 100 a piece because its a custom design. Plus you have unused time while waiting for prints, unless you stagger them but its more efficient to not stagger

If that "Chillzone Station" you made is for what I think it's for, adding some silicone inserts into the 14mm and 18mm holes may be a good idea so things that get put in there done get stuck or leave residue that could normally be reused and it would help increase heat resistance as well, you'd probably have to adjust the hole sizes to account for the inserts

PPE, pls wear the proper PPE when you are in an area with a 3d printer running. The VOC's produced by the printers filaments/resins/etc are harmful and cancer causing, as well as a variety of other health problems. A respirator (depending on what chemicals, proper eye wear, etc). For those out there not Hazmat or HazWhopper certified, pls get certified before handling chemicals. Asthma, lung failure, cancer, bad blood circulation (which can lead to clots, amputation, stroke, death) are the most common negative side effects of chemical exposure. Carbon filters do not eliminate all VOC's, they eliminate odors and some VOC's fumes. Safety 1st people.

Resin and ABS produces toxins, but pla is completely FINE

[@DEADEYESTUDIO]

Yeah but is this true if you’re using PLA filament tho? I recall hearing that’s a lot safer to use in printers and all

[@gettingpolitical]

@@DEADEYESTUDIO Yes PLA fil fumes are dangerous, even at low levels, though resin has a higher danger risk level than PLA fil yet the danger still exists. The highest point of PLA fil danger is when in processing/use when not in use and simply being stored the danger is extremely low in comparison. You can have a roll of filament not in use sitting in a room and the risk is extremely low while having exposed resin (say you fill a cup up and leave it there) the risk is high. People tend to hold the belief that "if I can't smell it I'm good" this of course is untrue. VOC's produced from almost every material known to man and with many man made chemicals like resin or PLA fil, they hold greater risk to health than most other things. Long term exposure to both PLA and Resin will, not could, not maybe, will cause irreversible harm to the human body. Resin is more dangerous to use then fil overall when all threat and care factors are combined. Both however, when used with the proper PPE and safety practice can carry extremely low risk factors and greatly decrease odds of harm. Whenever using either, make sure the room is well ventilated, your wearing a respirator, safety goggles and gloves, if you don't have a lab coat use a rain poncho with long arm sleeves. This protects from spills to the arms, torso (when using resin) make sure the filters on your respirator are changed out as directed and if you ever get any on you immediately wash the area with dish soap or chemical preventative soap if you have access to it. Any exhaust system you set up to filter fumes outside of your home should go through an exhaust pipe 3 feet higher than the highest point of your home. You don't want to cause harm to your neighbors (this is with both fil and resin). Your neighbors get injured and they link it to you, you get sued (yes chemical injuries can be linked to specific chemicals).

What is the best 3 d printer.. and also 2d printer .. can you suggest me????

[@OtakudenKeeper]

You need to include all the costs, Material costs, Electricity, rent, your wage, insurance, the cost of the store like Etsy, ads on Google, FB, IG, X, etc.

[@JLBforce1]

Got to incorporate all of the electricity you're using that offsets your costs and the price of the material you're using

[@TheOrozs]

It's not that much. It probably adds a couple dollars a month to his bill running that many

[@psyience3213]

Alright I’m buying one

What is a good low cost 3d printer to start with?

[@fishindad207]

What type of printer would you start with if you started over?

[@richard--s]

Don't answer, just for a thought: Do you sell one of those pieces for 20 dollars or do you have 20 dollars profit after the expenses for the filament and the electricity? You don't need to answer, just think of it - anyone who reads this, you have expenses - and I didn't include your time or food for you or the rent of your house that you pay. It sums up quickly ...

I said the profit was $20, not revenue. The way to calculate profit is by subtracting all of the expenses: material cost, electricity use, shipping supplies, shipping label cost, fees, etc. The profit was around $20 for a product I was selling for $39.99.
