Hi what font do you use as i love it

Wow I am very happy with these resources and they are very well packaged, I loved learning from you, I am new to the world of 3D printing, by the way I am from Portugal☺

You could print some thin wall things that friction fit into the two pipes at the ends of each shelf for more safety. They would cover the sharp metal and prevent spools from falling off the end.

Oh boy! I thought I had a lot of filament! Love the set up!!!! I’m very inspired by your video! Just dropped a sub!

Übercool

I had issues with Printed Solid spools not working well with my AMS Lite. They fell off mid print. I designed an adapter and that solved the problem.

could you attach a bucket to the side/end of the shelves so not needing as a long a tube?

Love your poop chute!

Do you dabble with stable diffusion or only mid journey? I'm trying to learn stable diffusion atm

I like those pipes so much and it makes sense for a single printer. Have you considered a simple conveyor belt?? I love the game Satisfactory and envision a belt for each row of printers to leads to a vertical pipe to the bucket. A simple 5v motor and either 3d print the belt or use rubber/fabric for the belt. Just a thought

Yo macy! Love your vids. I got something you can do with the single spool. You're using petg right? It loves sucking in water and ruining prints so if you got a sunlu spool dryer they have it where it keeps it dry and also has an exit so you can run the spool directly from the unit. And it's kinda small. Maybe that'll. Be good for ya ;)

Hey Macy! been watching for a little while now. Finally decided to bite the bullet and bought a Bambu A1 printer. Could you create a video on the steps you take for the shipping side of the business? Like what materials you order for packaging? (boxes, tape, paper and the air pillows) How doyou print shipping labels? Do you just drop all thepackages off at a UPS? and like the cost associated with keeping up with that many orders. It may be common sense lol just not to me i guess haha. I would like to start my adventure but im so unsure of what i need or should invest in before i were to open a "shop" TIA

Love your videos Macy. Thank you!

making the suspended hand vortex right now

i watched a video not to long ago about a company forget name now mayne google it. but you send in all your waste and in return you get a discount on new filament.

Use a 'master' PVC pipe set at a 30-degree angle to collect all the poop into a single box. Make a hole in the top of the PVC pipe to connect the chute extension. This way, you'll need less extension, reducing the weight, with the PVC pipe supporting part of it.

You can monetize your poop by keeping it and melting it into silicone molds in an oven. There’s a video somewhere on here of a guy making a multicolor skull that way and it looks really cool.

Side spool holder - I'm using one I found on printables by Engidahvs (the mount) and the spool holder is by HugoG, there is no noticeable flex in mine at all, but does require a little hardware (some 608 bearings) and optionally an m2 or m2.5 screw to secure the filament holder. I think I tried the one you used in the video and had the same issue, I didn't like the droop at all. Also these pair well with the "improved y-splitter" by Ed Johnson. Just search AMS No-Catch Y-Splitter... print the self-tap tester if you use this, ask me how I know! :)

Hi Macy! How do you get your AMS to switch between the different colors when the rollers run out, I'm new to this 3D print world and have an X1 with AMS?

21:00 Put an end cap on this pipes you don’t want to catch one in the eye (edit the rack will force you to not cut corner).

14:45 transfer spool to an ams compatible spool. Bit of a joke that it doesn’t suit all spools. Or do that modification of the ams that allows you to fit anything. I think Joel telling did it and possibly modbot.

Love your videos.. New patron here.....

Hello from France Macy, i love all your vidéos, in this one you did a realy nice job. Perfect organized setup. I earn a lot with you ( i am a printer and maker like you ) . Can't wait to see the next vidéo. Take care

Since your printer rack is close to the wall, you can put some 2x4's between the main shelf supports and the wall. These can be a foot or so long or run a long 2x4 the length of the shelf. If you can attach them to a stud in the wall that's the best way. Use some washers and screws to secure the rack to the 2x4's. It's what I did and it prevents the entire shelf from moving with vibrations. I have some P1S's and some A1's. The P1S's really create a lot of vibration compared to the A1's. Also if you were looking for a solution to use filament that doesn't fit in the AMS, the A1's are that solution. Cheers!

Hey Macy, we are all becoming big fans. You are very likable and sweet, which is why it’s a pleasure to follow your progress. I am a big fan of Shop Nation/3D Print Farm Academy. He is one impressive young man. I’m wondering if there are gaps between your boards or not. Perhaps if there is no gap and the edges touch, they will still transfer the vibration to each other. He has gaps between his. Perhaps I’m wrong. As for the spool holder and especially if you’re running PETG, you’re far better off running it from a filament dryer. You will not have any feeding issues and drying PETG is essential in getting good prints. BTW, if you have not tried it yet, the BAMBU PETG HF, runs at the speed of PLA and gives you perfect prints so long as it’s dried. Looking forward to your next video.

I think I would consider adding 2 more brackets on the new racking (presuming there is a stud between each one you used)....I haven't seen how the brackets are designed, but it looks like you will get 20-25 rolls on it which is over 50lbs. Not sure I would trust that to 3 brackets, especially if they are PLA. Would hate to see a future video where you report that one came crashing down onto your shipping station, or even worse, onto you! Adding more just seems like cheap insurance.

Hi Macy, great video!! I used the same units attached to the chute with magnets, issue I had was that the waste would jam up in that unit before even going into the tube. I created an open bin that tapers into a tube that I attached a paper mailing tube (cheap!) dropping into a large box (2 x1c). Works great as no jams or backups yet!

Lol, you kind of need a poop manifold 😃

Perhaps you could use 3 buckets setup behind the bottom 3 printers. Then, 3 shorter poop chutes for the top printers that simply directs the purges straight down to drop into the lower buckets?

Tried those tubes. had nothing but jam ups. Working on printing something better i hope. 3000+| color changes needs something epic.

Print farm overhaul before the Christmas rush! Get on it lady! Making good progress

So I tried the spool holder you have and it sagged a bit more than I liked, I also tried one that has the PTFE tube holder. I ended up printing the AMS riser V2 which has slots on the sides to add accessories. I must say the spool holder on the side of that is solid. I even printed out the 608 bearings from a file on Maker world. This would also come in handy later for adding another AMS. It also has space to store the glass lid and 2 extra build plates.

The poop chutes look like something from Dr. Seuss. I love it!

I have given away over 40 articulated dragons and several hundred fidget toys over the last year. The dragons look awesome in the gradiant and galaxy filaments.

I also recommend putting a concrete slab under each printer if you really want to reduce vibrations!

If you want to avoid vibration even more.. Bambu Lab sells those rubber shock absorbers for the printers. They work wonders! I have 2 printers right next to eachother on the same shelf and they do not interfere with eachother. Also the vibration to the shelf itself is minimized.

zip ties can be linked together

It's great to see how you're growing and adapting to the growth. I've just had 17 rolls of filament delivered for my eBay business just selling 2 different items. Almost at the point I need a second printer, but my big issue is, finding somewhere to put everything! I only have a small office room.

Nice work 👍 👍

Do you break even or have a net profit or are you subsidized by family still?

I don't know about you but I find it very satisfying when I manage to completely finish a role of filament, I have also ordered one on those sunlu filament joining things you showed us about a week or so maybe I'll get to do it more often 👍

Great growth🎉🎉

you should design and print some end caps for the metal tubes to avoid potentially hurting yourself later. 😀

Great video as usual! 🎉🎉

Great video! Wanted to asl, from where you got those metal shelves? I am looking for something like that to have my printers.

3:53 - Dryer vent hose is available for a mere dollar a foot at Home Depot. Macy - "Hold my beer".

Smart idea with patreon! I'd love to do something like that. My models seem to be doing well on makerworld and the other sites. To be honest, I'd rather make my money selling the commercial rights to designs than to sell the physical 3D Prints

Well done Macy.. I definitely like the rack systems.. 🦾🦾🦾

There is a roller insert( with bearings) print for the stock spool holder that works great..... it allows the spool to spin so no friction for the spool against the spool holder.

Absolutely love watching your videos! I just got my first, second and third printer in the last 8-10 weeks and have been having a blast with them. I watch printing YT videos constantly and get so excited when I see you’ve posted another one (I did go back and watch all the others too 🤣) Please don’t ever stop! 👏🏻
