Demand vs. Stock: Two Business Models and What I Use

[@thepatsyfamily]

The great thing about your business is that it's YOUR BUSINESS! Run it how you want and what's best for you.

[@6320150]

You shouldn't have to explain yourself. But I guess it just goes to show your a positive person. Kudos to you.

[@mr.mrs.t.9292]

Excellent example of positive attitude and turning sour lemons into a profitable lemonade 🍋 stand on demand. Here is one of my favorite quotes: "MOST HATERS ARE STUCK IN A POISONOUS MENTAL PRISON OF JEALOUSY AND SELF-DOUBT THAT BLINDS THEM TO THEIR OWN POTENTIALITY." I too have followed you since the Carolina CNC days and applaud you for your hard work and success.

[@Wayneooo]

I started watching your channels for new workshop ideas way back when you were still in Carolina. Great job moving your whole life (Including your house) to Tennessee and starting several successful businesses. You and Angela have done a great job raising two fine boys and being self reliant. You just keep being you!

[@Bespokelasers]

Sam you run your business in a manner that works for you. I do small business consulting, you gave yourself the best advice a consultant could sell you. You produce high quality items. I appreciate the speed, accuracy and finish of your products, they make lots of things I make easier to do!

[@alanpowell24]

I think you are a great person - polite, intelligent and a GOOD and natural teacher. Don’t let anyone grind you down!

[@danhalpert2284]

Just in time manufacturing is what we called your model back in the day. It is perfect for your business and products . I suspect that those who criticize have never owned and grown their business from scratch. I found you while I was getting interested in laser stuff having already had my first 3D printer. I spent most of my time calibrating the bed than printing or learning how to design things. I'm now on my 3rd printer It's a Bambu A1 and I can just send it a print and it works. Now I have time to learn software and make things that fit my needs. Not looking to open another business, not even a side hustle. Thanks for your honesty, integrity and a great gift of an ability to explain things that in a way that makes sense.

[@jonwoodworker]

Don't let anyone tell you how to run your business. It is obviously working for you.

[@keithglf]

Agreed! There always has to be a know-it-all that has to make an unwanted comment.

[@warrenstamps6553]

For what you are currently doing, I agree with you on your production model. With this model you also have very little waste on items that don't sell. You also save time, material and your time. Love your explanations.

[@lavernejones6520]

I owned a sign company and did what you are doing for 17 years produse on demand, because no 2 signs are the same. I did print and laser jobs 1st in, 1st out. I sold that company, then retired. I'm now in my shop making handmade and custom exotic wood, acrylic and hybrid pens and can now stock some items. Keep doing what you are doing and good luck in your future plans. I'll keep watching.

[@JTs3DPrints]

You are the Boss; what is nice is you run the business the way you feel fit. Some people can go over the top; you are not some critical manufacturing plant spitting out millions of critical car parts where part to machine time is that critical. You have designed and invested in x amount of printers into your business model based upon your own personal instinct having run the business for awhile and I am sure have good understanding of how many machines need to run at any given time. You also have your own personal reasons why you have x amount of machines. There is also the whole high demand and low demand parts of the season, etc. You have setup a business that you understand and are comfortable with the amount of machines you use and I am sure you best understand those goals. You have lots of extra capacity planned into your current model and it looks like you can handle big peaks as they happen! Looks fantastic to me. Keep up the great work and videos. Keep on doing what you are doing! I think the most important thing is you enjoy what you do and you have fun doing it. I would take an educated guess and say that over time you will find that having a very solid maintenance routine and method of tracking maintenance costs will be very critical as you grow, that is the engineering side of me speaking. Data can be your friend but is not the end all, key is keep having fun with what you do and keep growing and learning as you go. From what I have seen you are doing very well and have a very interesting new direction ahead of you. I do believe niche items are key to success, and you seem to have implemented that part of your plan very well. I am sure the person mainly was focusing on maximizing machine use and time(think Toyota assembly line and large amount of overhead), they do not have a grasp on your seasonal demand; sure you could make X amount of extra dollars keeping the machines full with some product, but is it worth it? One would have to find the extra product for those slack times that they wish to be selling and making. That is something only you the boss can answer.

[@jimrosson6702]

Great video Sam. Keep up the amazing work

[@brianvannest467]

I think you did a great job explaining your process! I always enjoy your videos and the videos on your homestead channel. You are using a pull manufacturing process that only pulls a new item into production once one is ordered. You also pull more filament (by ordering it) when your one in stock in that color is nearly done. This keeps your costs down. Well done!

[@Samcraftcom]

Ahh, thanks for the info on the correct terminology. :)

[@TheSasquatchjones]

There is always some "arm chair quarterback" who knows what YOU should be doing. You do you. Great explanation of your process. 👍

[@jimsavage7081]

Don’t let people bully you it’s your business and you run it the way you want. I love the way you run your business it’s working out for you so you keep doing what you do best 👊🏻👍😊

[@tamistone7344]

Hi Sam! Run your business the way you want! It's your life! I miss seeing you and Angela on "Sam and Angela channel"! 😊

[@802Garage]

I think for those starting out, smaller operations, and especially for smaller products this makes total sense. So many people feel pressured to keep a bunch of stock on hand before they even sell anything. Once you have a product take off and can anticipate demand, sure, build up some stock. Great tips!

[@patshipp9195]

YES Why waste money, On Demand saves money, SOOO That yahhead can go elsewhere. Your doing great Sam! 💖💖🙏🙏👍👍🙏🙏💖💖

[@robertf8918]

Your process is perfectly fine.

[@kevinrich4637]

Your business model is what works best for you. I do the same thing and when I do markets I try to keep inventory somewhat low.

[@judgem9150]

Sam, great job in turning a negative comment into something helpful. I agree with the small shop/side hustle POD method. I look at it this way. A roll of filament has the ability to be made into any 3D item you get an order for, that is a valuable ability for your manufacturing materials to have as long as possible. Once you print an item for stock, you have basically spent money. You have invested time, materials, wear and tear on equipment, etc. into an item you hope to sell. Now you can't use that filament to produce an item that is bringing in money. For a small shop, having the ability to maximize the income from your materials is very important.

[@briansmith7046]

Thank you for this video. What works for one person may not work as well for another, it is about finding what works for you in moment (it can always change as you change). And as always, Sam you look great with or without the hat (though the traditional look is my favorite lol). Thank you for providing your knowledge for all of us.

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

I make and sell bird and squirrel feeders on Etsy. I've always been in "on demand" mode. It's just me and I make everything, by hand, when it is ordered. I have over 500 sales since I opened in April '23. Until recently, I was doing it all with a full-time job. It has worked for me. If I were to only sell what I already had in stock, I don't think I would have had as many sales because I would have had zero stock of something at any given time, which would mean a missed sale. I always set my listing quantities to 3 or 4 and when they get down, I will put the qty back up. That is so my listings continue to show up in search, which means they can sell. When I look back at what has sold at any given moment, if I were to make to stock, I would have ended up with too many of something and not enough of another, and then it would flip. That becomes a storage nightmare, especially for me just working out of part of my garage. To each his own, of course, but "on demand" has worked well for me.

[@thoth80]

As a one horse show that makes my bread and butter online for over 13 years I have never really kept more than 3-6 weeks of inventory for light manufacturing or local sales. Nice thing is really not having to carry that inventory burden. Each biz is unique ....

[@romeo032982]

Print on demand is definitely the way to go it’s what I’ve been doing since day one and I’m now on year 3 so it definitely works

[@M5PerfHydros]

Hey Sam, don't let yourself get wound around some guy second guessing your process. I call these guys "Joy Suckers", and like you I've had my share. Blow right past 'em and keep doing what you do. For what it's worth, I build on demand only. Stock only costs money, space, and time! Thanks for the enjoyable channel, and happy printing!

[@walonguy111]

Sam, Only you know what works best, keep doing what you’re doing regardless of the nay sayers. You rock!

[@FlatlineBob]

Excellent vlog and explanation. Maybe one day you will have the throughput in products and labor to have the need to run 24/7 machines but you seem to have the business savvy to know what you can do, when you can do it, and where you will do it. You have the luxury of location at the moment to go at the pace you need. Not everyone has that. Again, excellent business and keep up the good work! I have enjoyed all your vids.

[@EricSchreiber1]

The beauty of a print farm business is that it lets you do produce on demand. You don't have the production expenses, storage costs, and most importantly *risk* of carrying an inventory.

[@aussiegolddogcnc3d412]

Well said Sam. This person most likely has never ran a business. First jobs to do are demand jobs. Stock control comes later. I’ve ran businesses for over 30 years and find the negative comments come from either people with no business sense or jealous people that do not have the getup and go that running a business needs. My way running my business I get rid of the negative customers and concentrate on the supportive customers. Cheers mate. You don’t need to explain. Keep going the way you want. 😊

[@robertbankhead8661]

Sam you are slaying it!

[@tb14236]

I appreciate your process and I think for what it's worth is the correct model for how you and most people operate. That and a couple bucks will buy you a coffee but it's my opinion.

[@LaserGarage]

Great job Sam. Keep up the good work!

[@MrDmorgan52]

It's actually called " Just in Time" JIT manufacturing. It's a part of lean manufacturing implemented by the Japanese. Keeps your money from being tied up in unnecessary production

[@gecko2345]

Haters gonna hate! Youu are doing great, keep doing what works for you!

[@mikepetitt9624]

Sam….. it’s to bad there has to be these negative people out there! I think your really smart doing the print on demand style the way yo do! The thing is your materials cost money if you print ahead then you used supplies and what if it takes a month or several weeks to sell say a green widget when all of a sudden people want a purple one? Ya no its smarter and I think more cost affective the way you are doing it. If you had like 5 items and only offered 1 color ya then maybe it makes since to do it the other way. Again thanks for sharing with us for sure it helps my thought process and this year Im trying to change what I do trying to have a more online presence vs craft fairs and friends purchasing my stuff. Keep up the great work! Really love what your doing…….

[@boazjoe1]

Excellent synopsis on your decision process. Thank you.

[@agtrestorer8438]

You obviously know what you are doing a d that is what matters. Keep up the great work and the really good videos.

[@skaggsjohn]

My wife got me a longer ray5 20w laser engraver for Christmas so I’m new to that. I already have an elegoo resin 3D printer but haven’t used it much because she is allergic to almost everything so I will have to make better ventilation. Sorry I rambled on 🤣 the print to stock or Amazon thing is fine but a small home business it would cut into your profits since they charge for the space you use. Print on demand is a great way to go in my opinion especially if you don’t have the storage space available. Keep up the good work 👍🏻.

[@nickhancock589]

Demand dictates your inventory needs. If your production is sufficient to meet ongoing demand and you have a comfortable cushion of spare production capacity that can meet surges in demand as they occur, then you don't need inventory. Inventory requires tying up money to sit on a shelf, time to manage that inventory, and space to store it. Holding inventory is a tradeoff between cost and the need to quickly fill demand. Sam does have inventory. Raw material in the form of filament. That's the only inventory his current production/demand balance requires.

[@bobbyhunt100]

Thanks for the insights Sam. I've always found your videos helpful and have been exceptionally happy with the products which I've purchased from you. G'day from the Sunshine Coast, Qld, Australia.

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you for the kind words and the shoutout from down under!

[@yuryfaer7892]

I apprecite your videos as a small business doing what you do. I print on demand based on your deffinition for my online Etsy store. You should not listen to people that have a very limited persaption of the world outside of them selves keep your videos comming

[@npike]

Thank you for showing your slicer workflow.

[@Bdbrad71]

Your doing a great job, you know what your doing

[@clydelewis4752]

Sam well said. Great business strategy

[@Krunkle78]

You have enough printers where you don't have to keep them running 24/7 and really you seem to have your business doen pretty well lol keep on doing what you do bro!

[@simonr6793]

Sam, your definitely right in doing the "On demand " way with your business as it's definitely going to save you a lot on the wastage side of things. Aslong as you have the time to do it that way there's definitely nothing wrong with it. Saves on wastage aswell as overstock situations, there's nothing more frustrating than having lots of item's that nobody is buying and just keeping the stock for the sake of it. Ultimately if you have lots of dead stock item's overtime the item's may develope issues for instance the plastic could become brittle overtime and then cracks could appear within the product and other problems, that's not good for anyone let alone a customer. Sam at the end of the day just remember opinions are like bum holes everyone has one but it doesn't mean we need to hear it!!!. Sam, you do you and don't let these know all get under your skin 🤔😳. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

[@BradBiggsII]

Nice work flow and make great sense doing it from the slicer. But incase you have not had it happen or thought about it. Watch / check the first print after your software updates. Setting may change and since you slice at time of print, it may affect it.

[@jonmackie3859]

I would be interested to know how you power all of that.

[@TeslaIndonesia]

love this, i already following you long time, but this time i dare to comment, thanks for your inspiration sam 👌

[@justinbanks2380]

4:16 I'd be curious why you use Orca Slicer vs Bambu Studio. I've not used Orca but know it is a fork of Bambu, but then they each feed features into each other? Would love to hear your opinions on them, as searching, can't find a concise list of one vs other

[@JustPrinted3D]

The bambu spools nowadays come with taped filament end to the inner paper rol. This fact makes automatic runout and spool change impossible because you have to deal with the failure prompt. How do you handle this?

[@cryptolaird]

I run my 3d print Etsy store the same way. I have 5 A1s and they are not all always running, not until I have an order.

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Good stuff Sam. If you have already sent the job to a printer or just loaded every printer with the files you need couldn't you simply print the file on the printer again without slicing it? It doesn't take a huge amount of time to slice I suppose but just curious if you could skip that. EDIT. I literally paused 2 seconds before you mentioned why you don't do that. It makes sense that it's just easier to manage. Does it fill up the card though doing it that way?

[@Samcraftcom]

I have been thinking of that since making this video and reading comments. :) I suppose my main concern would be if the file is sliced in one filament vs. another and if they have different print profiles. I could adopt a method where the default filaments are all in one color and the specialty ones in another so I can identify their slicing profiles by color? For example, PLA basic are all green models, PLA Matte are pink, Metallic are Blue, etc. It's something to consider for sure...

[@davidmann4436]

Good video, Sam!

[@ImagineAcres]

thoughts on different build plates? i just ordered the new cool plate supertack!

[@user-ei3ml8jo1s]

If you are considering Amazon I would suggest you learn about FBM vs FBA. I ran a business with 8,500+ SKU’s. We shipped from stock direct to consumer from our 20,000 sq ft facility and also used FBM and FBA. It doesn’t look like you are capable of FBM but if you are considering FBA expect your profit margins to take a hit. We did $1M+ a year between FBM/FBA.

[@JimPeugh]

We used to call that "make to order" and "make to stock" in my old I.E. days. If you don't have any significant set-up then it makes much more sense to make to order financially. Calculate the difference in cost by assigning a dollar value to your time. Calc setup portion by dividing by the number of parts produced with that setup. Then add run cost. Compare the two production methods financially that way. Your labor rate should probably be somewhere between $40 to $150/hr., I guess. You can build the labor rate by pulling in all your costs including building, equipment, and overhead such as insurance, advertising, admin, etc. Typically we used to have an "out of pocket" which would be the cost of labor and its SS and benefits, , You can think of this cost as the marginal cost to produce one more of the product, so this does not include building and equipment cost. The next level adds everything else, at least in the case of a small business. Once you develop these total costs you can divide by the number of hours worked for the year to get the rate, then apply it to specific parts produced and methods used. For total cost you would add material cost, packaging and shipping. To get building cost divide by estimated life in years. I would probably use 20 yrs. Then for equipment cost I would guess that it would be replaced every 3 years so divide by that. I hope this was not either too obvious or too complex for your situation.

[@heffe2001]

Depending on what you're making, how long it takes to actually print and a few other factors, PoD definitely would be better for most people.. For instance, if you're selling something that takes 3 or 4 days to make, but people want it FAST, printing ahead of time and keeping stocks of whatever it is would make sense, but something that takes a couple hours to make max, and having the amount of printers you've currently got, it absolutely doesn't (unless it's something that every design you sell uses, then mass-produce those parts alone). In my current setup, I've got got a few multi-color printers, so I have to maximize what I'm printing to the time it takes, so making stock ahead of time makes sense. If I had more printers available (the definite goal), I could afford to be more selective on what I make ahead. I do have other printers, but only 2 that have AMS setups at the moment. If I had 4 or 5 (or more), it'd be a different ball-game around here, lol. Hopefully once the open-air market season starts around here in ernest, I'll be at a point that I can add 2 or 3 more A1's (not sure if I'll go Mini or regular, for what I do either would work). That's the plan anyway.

[@user-justbeingme]

Can you show how you transfer from not on a spool to putting it on a spool?

[@MichaelBrown-e9w]

I am new here and love what i see so far. Not sure if you have done a video on why you use PLA verses Resin printing? If you haven't could you do one with the plus and minus of each? Thank you :)

[@JeffBenedict]

great video and great explanation

[@NancyBryantIdeas]

Sounds like print-to-stock is something to scale up to, but that's just my take on things.

[@nothingview]

First of all, thank you for your channel. I've been following you for a short while, but I truly appreciate the quality of your content, as well as your sincerity and humility. I’m about to start my 3D printing business, focusing on printing complex and tall pieces (15-20 cm) that require a lot of detail (0.15/0.2 mm), all in PLA or PETG. I’m not interested in multicolor for now, though it might be a practical addition in the future to have 4 spools available. I’m undecided between the A1 and the P1P... What led you to choose the A1? Do you think the extra cost of the P1P for this type of product would reflect in its performance for mass production? Thank you for your valuable opinion!

[@TheMountainMaker]

Wow, The audio in this one sounds great! 😉

[@EyeintheSky999]

i'M CURIOUS as to the print time range for the products you make. From simple part to complex product. How is that factored in on your estimate for customer delivery?

[@bradleyliebl2931]

I have 13 printers 1 running and a damn smile on my face😂

[@RaphaelVogel]

Coming from an IT background..... hope you have a proper and tested backup strategy for your CAD files. If they get lost, damage would be immense .

[@Samcraftcom]

I do. :) Dropbox cloud storage and sync as well as local file syncing on a few of my PCs.

[@ooDemiurgus]

I think keeping stock on some items is ok. If you're moving say 200 units a month +/- on a certain item consistently, it would be ok to keep like 30-40 in stock. You'll be able to get orders out quicker, which leads to a more satisfied customer, who will then be more likely to leave a good review and purchase again in the future. It depends what it is. If it's a part for a swimming pool for instance, then you don't need many in January. As for dipshits in comments... Don't get bogged down in the negativity. It's just not worth it. Some people just want to piss in people's Cheerios. I for one really appreciate the videos. It's informative and entertaining. You have a good personality and I think that's what attracts a lot of people. Let the miserable people yell at themselves in the comments. BTW, I'm up to 11 A1's now. I have X1C, P1S, and A1 machines and I swear the best surface quality is on the A1 machines.

I only have Bambu Lab printers, but keep going back to them for more each time. IMO they're the best.

[@BrendaDavis-1963]

[@MaximAvs]

Sam, could you "automate" that other larger marketplace production? Using a RaspPi or even AI to write code? You're a smart guy, I know you can figure it out!

[@Samcraftcom]

There are some companies that advertise automation solutions that I want to check out... making sure they are cost effective and really work is important. :)

[@idiyerbill1968]

It seems like the printers are running very slow isn't that a problem or is necessary to not break them ?

[@agw5425]

I´m more interested in why you would print a medium to high volume item at all and not injektion mold them instead as that gives you far lower cost per unit than printing does, sure there is the cost for the mold but it is very low per unit before it wares out. After all there is the cost of the printers and not only the material to consider, not to forget production time, printing 5-10 parts per day, molding 500+. You get around 5000-10000 hours before a printer is worn out and need service or replacing, that´s 2000-3000 items per printer + the power used 300-500 watt hours per unit while printing. Where do you draw the line on large orders?

[@creativebythecreek]

What made you decide to bulk up on the A1 and not the P1S or P1P? Curious because I am looking to buy more printers myself and want to see what your thoughts are when having more printers. I currently have two P1P's, one X1 and an A1. Just not sure what would be the smarter buys for the future. Thanks for the informative videos! Nice work!

[@Samcraftcom]

The first consideration is the material you will be using to print. I use PLA or PETG for 95% of my items, so a bed slinger like the A1 is fine. The second consideration was cost. For the same cost I could get more A1 printers than if I bought P1 or X1 units. Time will tell on the longevity of the A1s vs. the P1/X1 units, but right now I am very happy with them.

[@tobybridson]

In terms of automation, maybe AI can help you build out a process or build a tool when processing and kicking off print jobs.

[@thomasswearingen6971]

Just in time manufacturing works great for starting a line or product. You can get info on what you actually sell. With that information you can transition to a Kam bam method. Or high low stock. I know that for me just in time takes a lot more time from me. I don't stock everything that I sell. My system is one week. So if I only need one item to stock for a week then it's not a stock item. If I sell 20 then I stock 10 and replace at 5. So some items only last one to two days. Like I said. My stock must turn over every week. So how I got the ten number is the slowest week of the year. By having this system set up. I don't have to work everyday. I can take two to three days off and still have every order out on the day I come back. With just in time. I was one day behind my orders until Saturday. So I was forced to work everyday. I think that everyone needs time off. And that you shouldn't be punished for taking time off. So I started kam-bam, high low or min max stock. Now I know that if I take the weekend off on Monday I need make x of this and that. Monday the lights come on and I look at stock and start to print everything that is out of stock and start to ship what I have in stock. So if you really look at what I do every week. I only stock what I sell every Saturday and Sunday of the year. I just spend a little bit of time all week creating that stock. What that means is that Monday is a heavy ship day and low production day. The rest of the week is production and low shipping. And Friday is prototype day. The biggest thing that I had to get over was I don't sell everything every day or I have to many options. I found that I have ten items that I sell ten or more a week. Some I only have two or less per week. Because my mind is three I don't stock most items. On Friday I move to two and produce one of every item that sells every Saturday. I understand things happen. How often do you set things to produce and then lock the door and leave for the night. I was every day and not every machine was running. Now every machine is running at close and I have time to do with I want through the day. Does everything run every night no. Only what I am low on. I make finished ready to install cabinet doors. I have over 500 sizes and finishes. So if you say that you can't stock you don't know your product and what makes you money. Know your product and make what makes you money and price what doesn't accordingly. Or maybe I should say charge more for no stock items. Your brain power is worth something.

[@instantsiv]

I’m going to take a middle road here and say carrying inventory can solve certain problems and save money. Not saying you should have your printers running 25 hours a day 8 days a week. You gotta do the math on your end to see if it would make sense for your situation though. I don’t know your numbers so I’m not gonna say one way or the other. Just saying keep an open mind to all the tools available to you. It might just be the right tool for you. That’s all.
