The time has come to move my ENTIRE STUDIO across the country! From Philadelphia PA to Portland OR! That means I need to consider how to safely transport my custom built 3D printers as well. These 3d printing machines are strong but surprisingly delicate. How does one safely move with custom 3d printers like my Vorons? Building crates is the way I've chosen, so let's get them built.

ZIP TIE Tip, grab a pack of brightly colored ties that differ from your normal use ones. Makes identifying and making sure you get them all removed easier.
I'll never tire of the multi-Mandic shots.
Can not wait for the video of you trying to crate Jean up like that. Lol
I already gave her a bath, I don’t think I’d survive that…
Safe travels friend! Enjoy more milder winters and less humid summers. Looking forward to the video where you're setting up the new studio.
It was 95 degrees in Philly today. I made the mistake of checking the weather in Portland, 66… Move can’t come soon enough!
Philly is gonna miss you buddy 💙
💜
Welcome to the PNW! I hope you love it here!
I guess you can count your lab remodel as practice.
Yep, I'm just looking at it as a learning lesson. I know what I like and what I don't now! On to bigger & better! Well better anyway, new studio is the same size.
Best of luck with the journey! Will miss ya in Philly
Thank you very much!
Dang, that's a serious move!
You did a great job packing those printers, I'm sure they're going to be fine!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm hesitantly optimistic... ha
We'll miss you on the 'right' coast, but HAPPY TRAVELS! See you at the next show!
Nice video. I will have to review this whenever we move in the future. Also, love the overlap editing!
This video is perfectly timed for me as I'll be moving my 2.4 as well next month! Though I do wonder, about the frame bending if you used a ratchet strap, wouldn't lifting the printer by the handles mounted up there potentially bend the extrusions as well? I'm using those same handles and it's something I've been thinking about.
You know that is a legitimately good question. The machine weighs quite a bit afterall. Granted a ratchet strap can produce more force than the weight of the machine. Still something that would be interesting to try and look at more...
Brilliant stuff, Alan. Have a safe move!
You should have chosen across the river into vancouver, versus the expensive dirty Portland. :)
Welcome to Portland in advance
Love it when I see people using Torx over Philips or Pozi
I think some handles on either side of those crates would have made moving them a bit easier. Perhaps you just used a hand truck. Either way, good luck to you!
Tbh I'd probably put the V0s un the front seat of the car (assuming you're taking a car as well)
Personally I'd still throw an instapak around the toolhead and another inside the electronics compartment.
Thats going to take a huge uhaul to just move the studio. Good luck friend, if i was closer then mississippi i would offer a helping hand
Yea... have the biggest UHaul rented and a 16 foot enclosed trailer to tow behind it. Hoping it isn't as ba das it is starting to feel, ha.
Lmao. Never knew u were in Philly. Me too. Sad to see u go. Safe travels
Bright color zip ties will help not forget any during unpacking
Solid idea. Forgetting zip ties is embarrassingly easy afterall.
Why does every channel in pa move out so soon after I learn of them? Anyway hope the printers and you have a great trip! (Ps if there are any printers that can’t be brought with I might be able to help you with that )
Born and raised in Pa. I’ve left multiple times but usually end up back here. Not this time u suspect though... The only printer I’ve got left that needs a home is the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max.
@@MandicReally pa = best, I actually have been wanting a Neptune 4 series machine but have not picked one up so I would be happy to take one in for my RUclips and light print farming (my channel is a great documentary of this[that guy makes])
@@thatguymakesthings email me and we can try and work something out: alan@mandicreally.com
@@MandicReally I sent an email hopefully to the right email :)
@@MandicReally my email is not that guy makes btw it’s cad… (I honestly forgot how to spell the rest)
How about the Bambulab printers?
I just packed them up actually. I wrapped the AMSes in bubble wrap and placed them inside of the machine with the bed at the lowest point so the case supports it. Put the toolhead in the back left corner over the poo shoot and zip tied the belts. Then wrapped the entire machine in a bit of bubble wrap and a moving blanket. Taped the glass onto the machine body. Then put it into a cardboard box with spools of filament around it on all sides. X1 & P1 both got their own boxes.
I considered building crates but I've crated 4 printers & 1 laser cutter, I'm over it, ha.
@@MandicReally awesome! I have to move a couple of printers myself in the coming weeks and this is so helpful. Wishing you best of luck in the move!
Z I can’t wait to see how you survive in Portland. Ha ha. When I moved from Baltimore to Seattle, it was like being on a different planet. And then my trips down to Portland. It was like being on another planet. You seem like you’re pretty chill dude so you don’t have that East Coast edge so you’ll probably do all right, but hang on my man. You’re about to see some wild shit. Oh, And say goodbye to seasons. It’s gloomier than the darkest East Coast snowstorm eight months of the year. Spring and fall will give you mixed results and then you’ll have like one really good month of beautiful perfect weather at the end of summer. Also, you’ll never see fall and it’s really weird to never see through the trees and winter and it’s just always lush and green. It screws with your head. You’ll never see a hot summer day and you’ll never see a blizzard :)
I’m in San Francisco now. I don’t miss the Northwest at all. It was just way too dark and depressing and wet.
Oh, and your expenses are going to double :-) but that shouldn’t be a problem if you’re making decent money
Oh I may not come off as having the “East Coast Edge” but I very much do. 😬 My partner said “you are gonna hatttte how slow everything is.” But I rarely leave the house / studio these days. I’m looking forward to not being 94 degrees and sunny. It’s 64 in Portland right now. I’m sure it will be a culture shock, but I’m ready!
what type of can cable are you using/which sleave?
I covered it in my CAN video: ruclips.net/video/qoYnKh4Si4c/видео.html
The cable is IGUS ChainFlex CAN cable & the sleeving is from MDPC-X and intended for custom sleeving PC cables.
You're packing up Jin in a box 😮
*jean
I already gave her a bath recently. I don’t want to know what she’d do if I tried to box her up. 😳
FIRST! Also good luck on your journey!
Thank you very much!
The Crate is impressive! Well done!
I'm bet you could kick that across the parking lot of most truck stops and it would still be square.
May your journey be uneventful.
Isn’t Pittsburgh the city of bridges? That’s a lot closer than Philly.
446 bridges in the city and it’s the city with the most bridges in the United States.
Yea but then I’d have to live in Pittsburgh… I did that once, I’m good. 😅😅
Portland has. A lot of nicknames, one is “Bridge City” (not city of bridges). It has 12 larger ones crossing the Columbia & Willamette rivers.
@@MandicReally haha, fair enough. I did the same (CMU) so I’ve done my time as well
please dont ziptie the belts like that, design or use brackets that clamp them without bending, squishing or stretching the belts
Well, i mov the country not the printer! Lol
You have a method for that you care to share? I’d be happy to not have to drive 3,000 miles 😹😹

Portland? crime is so high there. higher than philly! Goood luck in your travels and keep us posted
Some news outlets would like folks to think that, but no crime stats I can find come even close to saying that. Portland is below Philly on every single list & Philly is not a scary place imo. My dad is constantly telling me how scary Philadelphia is from his lounge chair in North Carolina. 🤷🏻🤷🏻 Also we are moving to a suburb of Portland that is SIGNIFICANTLY safer than most cities in the country.
Remember CHAZ and CHAD and all the "summer of love" and the burn loot murder riots? People don't learn.
Dude, you watch too much Fox News. It’s totally different types of crime. And it’s not that bad. In Portland, it’s going to be car break-ins and little things like that that are an annoyance not like Philly where it’s home invasions and murders, etc.
Philly had over 400 murders last year, Portland under 30. And if you adjust it for population, it’s still 1/4.
@@Eric_In_SF lmao. Evidently you’re the one who watches Fox News, I don’t watch any MainStreet news, none, it’s all fake. I know Portland, I know the crime. Don’t tell me
Crime is high, its dirty, homless literally everywhere. At least Vantucky has its perks over portland, but still cheaper to live than in portland, also slightly less crime and less traffic.
Welcome to the Pacific North West! The best place IMO 😊 (there are many best places truth be told)
