Thanks for sharing. Interresting. Wouldn't it be worth it to invest in IDEX and use disolvable support if you spend so much time removing support?
@@alexdubois6585 I might in the future! BVOH and PVA didn't perform well enough for me to commit to it a couple of years ago. Perhaps it is time to dive back into it.
@@alexdubois6585 You are left with tons of water that is illegal to dump down a drain and can hurt your septic. Also keeping it dry is a massive pain even an hour outside a sealed humidity controlled chamber can give bubbles. Not to mention if it gets left in a heated hotend for too long it turns to sand risking a clog. Using PETG/PLA interchangeably as breakaway support with each other is a far better solution.
@@Anyone700 Also correct, you can disolve a fair amount before needing to change the water, or let it dry. It is also that or plastic support. So I don't know what is the best ecological footprint. None is great I agree.
This means that single operator can handle 100 - 3d printers ? Is it possible?
Great and really interesting video. I've just doubled my farm size tonight, from one to two printers!! :D
Thank you! Onward and Upward!
100% growth! Soon you will have an unstoppable robot army!
@@GeoFry3 ahem.... unstoppable EVIL robot army.
@@3DPrintedDebris lol no, that is what one builds will with the 3D printer robot army. Robots with freaking laser beams on their heads.
Im about to double the size of my farm too, already have a mk3 im about to get a mini just so i can double my print speed for my own projects!
Its very handy to have the urinal in the print farm. LOL
Yessir it is! One of these days I'll actually clean it.
Also thought about the perfect productive room layout. The smell in it must be also very special.
@@lazyman1011 No smell, I have HEPA filter units and I blow out the heat a couple of times a day. The shop has a roll-up garage door and front door. I just open those up and the desert wind takes care of the rest.
@@3DPrintedDebris Nice place, directly felt like a garage. Wish you all the best for your business. It was inspiring and a learned something.
Fascinating, always wondered how these operations are run.
Also, dont have to run far to use the urinal! 😂
It does same a a lot of time for sure!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hope it's 3d printed..
I have a print farm in the room next to me, but for some reason I love re-watching this video. Especially while grinding into the early morning hours tending the farm. Love your content- hope you get the time to make more.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Reminds me when I've got my first printer and had the feeling it needs to run 24/7.
It starts with 1.... next thing I knew I had 100.
I went from hearing about consumer 3D printing, and not caring about it, over the last few years to becoming utterly obsessed with printing over the last 6 months or so. It was great to see what a day in the life is like for you as this is certainly something I plan to do in the future, though on a much smaller scale from my garage. What got you into printing initially, then pushed you into farming full time?
Definitely subbing and am about to run through all of your videos so thank you for the content!
I release a video on how it all began here: ruclips.net/video/XtNUq2rOr5Y/видео.html
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your daily labor!
Makes me laugh even more when i think of previous comments and videos when they say they do "passive income" doing 3D printing... 😂 my only printer already gives me enough struggle to not consider it "passive" hobby! ;)
thanks for showing the raw side of running a farm. no fancy lights no fancy crap! cheers!
Probably one of the most fascinating videos about 3d Printing I've seen thus far.
Thank you!
I appreciate your videos and insight into 3D print farming.
My pleasure!
My print farm has taken over my entire apartment. I am working on saving up for a warehouse, though. I can't wait to keep growing, and I'm happy to see other successful people. I just got in 4 form 3s to take my resins to the next level.
I'm not a fan of the Form 2 or 3, due to the RMA costs and the high price of resin. If it were me, I'd go with the Elegoo SATURN instead.
@3DPrintedDebris I personally dislike lcd printers and get way more reliability with my formlabs line up. One click ready to go. I modified my resin cartridges (can get about 20l out of them) and bulk order resin specifically made for formlabs printers about $40 a liter ordering in 10 gal intervals. I also modified my tanks, replacing the acrylic sheets with glass, and I have about 5 gallons of optically clear silicone for them. Making my tanks cost about $7 a full restore. That is what I use for my online retail (cosplay props), which brings the cost down quite significantly for my customers. I personally need the line up of materials formlabs provides as most of my printing is for businesses needing abstract requirements. When I need to use an expensive engineering material every liter counts, and I can count on my formlabs. But for what you do, the chinese lcd printers make sense. Thanks for the reply, and keep up the grind!
The urinal in the corner and the kitchen back to back are the cherries on top of this great video dude!
59th person to mention the urinal
@@3DPrintedDebris I couldn’t find one before commenting myself
Liked, Subbed, and commented Sir. I just got my first 3d printer a few weeks ago (Ender 3 V2) and it's been very fulfilling to a techy, creative, nerd like myself. This video has shown me a world I had only heard about. Thank YOU!!
Thanks for the sub!
Master at work! Thankyou for the share
Glad you enjoyed it!
i loved this video, so peaceful :)
Wow, what an incredible video. Had no idea there was so much involved in a printer farm.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video!
You are so welcome!
I was waiting for the bathroom break! Mate, you're so damn organised!
Thank you!!
He keeps the bathroom in his shop if you couldn’t see the urinal. That’s his secret to success
@@123loopyman LOL
Here is a guy who works efficiently, MOVES FAST and refuses to waste any time... with that urinal in his work shop... and his porta potty, This guys got it down.
Thanks! I spent years refining it. I jealously guard every second!
that is such an interesting video! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the urinal on the back wall. Efficiency!
It's quickly becoming famous. I'm considering making a video just about that.
Thanks for the great video to give insight of what it really takes to run a print farm! What can shrouds are you running on the i3 prusas? I've never seen that design before.
It is just the standard MK3S+ fan shroud. The design performs well enough I didn't see a need to fiddle with it.
Dat urinal at the back… loving it 😂
58th person to bring up the urinal.
Great video, totally got thrown off by the urinal in the corner! 😆
For some reason everyone latches on to that.
Nice workflow and layout!
Thank you!
i love that you have a urinal installed in the production area
It's quickly becoming famous. I'm considering making a video just about that.
Your avarage day is my dream, I have only 2 3d printers for now, planning to get more
Just noticed the urinal on the wall. Handy. 😆
It's quickly becoming famous. I'm considering making a video just about that.
Really useful video, thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
I'm curious about your air quality and fire suppression/detection setup? I work in a research lab and the experts we speak to about VOCs/Nanoparticles and general off-gassing is downright scary. So, when I see a setup like this, I wonder what you do? (Not criticism, just very differently than I do it!)
Currently I only work in HTPLA and PLA+, so that buys down a lot of those concerns right off of the bat. We tend to print no hotter than 210-215, and the RH here is almost always 10% so there's no pops or steam. I have multiple air quality monitors around the shop, and I have large volume HEPA filters next to our work areas (finishing station, production control). Additionally, I have a forced air HVAC system with a filter on that, and I do tend to blow all the heat out of the shop every night by opening up the doors and letting the desert do it's "thing"./
I have an 8 printer farm. The only noticeable difference is most of my printers are making stock across my whole colour range so I am not swapping colours. Much less printing on demand. I get a 6 x volume at Christmas so this is a better model for me. I know from the past how many to keep of each colour. Print on demand is for personalised stuff and uncommon orders..
Cool!
So glad you didn't need to take a leak during all those hours of time lapse.
Ha!
Yes. Your prints really do look fantastic. 💪
Thanks! Some of it is the manufacturers and their progress over the years, some of it is mine with the design of the racks and the controlled environment as well as designing the models to cater to the strengths of the tech.
The open-plan urinal is a great time-saving idea.
I was a hold-over from the prior owner I just never saw a need to remove.
@@3DPrintedDebris I'm still going to do it without the wife's consent.
Nice. Thank you. Wanna make a video on your support cleaning process seems effective.
I hadn't considered that as a topic, thanks for the idea!
A Video on how you finish prints to make them look perfect would be very interesting
You're in luck, I have the footage together. Just need more time. Do you know how I can get another hour in the day? Like 25 instead of 24?
I'd also like to see how you finish the prints!
Thanks for this behind the scenes video. On demand printing is a tough business and your efficient and orderly operation are essential. I run a much smaller print farm printing functional designs that I create for niche products. I'm able to design the parts for 3D printing so they need no support material and that's a huge time savings. You've forgotten more about post processing FDM prints than I'll ever know. I print a lot of black TPU, so my post processing consists of a quick pass with a heat gun and lighted and magnified inspection. I do 100% pull testing to verify layer adhesion but it's never a problem.
How do you handle end of spool waste? On my PLA prints and ABS prints, on the new Neptune 4 Pro printer, I can run a reel empty and if the print stops anywhere other than the outer layer (and that fortunately always seems to be the case), I can swap to a new real and click "Continue" and the print is perfect. On ABS, I use 2.25 kg spools.
Klipper has been a game changer for me, for print quality, faster speed on everything but TPU, and much better 3D printer management.
1:50 - Your print farm has a urinal? That may be taking labor optimization a bit too far. 😀
I have a 2-piece bathroom in my garage. I'm re-finishing right now with a slate floor. Should be a nice place to take a shit.
Really interesting video. What are the articles you're adding to the finished models? Are they to tack who it's made for?
I add a logo sticker and URL to every model for return customers.
Just came across your channel and love your content. I do have a question? You mentioned that you monitor and collect data on power consumption on a daily basis. I understand power cost a component of price. You have data on each machine type. Overhead energy costs for lights, HVAC, maintenance equipment should be averaged across the entire year of consumption. I totally understand collecting the data but at a daily data point I find curious.
I total up the daily profit, and my end after all costs are settled. It's a tad OCD for sure.
What is your favorite filament and what are your top favorite printers?
When it comes to filament sensors I just remove it with a small piece if filimament stuck in. The only time I hook it back up is for big prints on questionable length partial spools.
Probably ProtoPasta at this point, and the MK3S+.
About 15% of my sensors are inop, I'll pay off this maintenance after the holiday rush has passed. I use them to get rid of partials that are well matched.
this means good times getting things done!
Hi, great video! Where did you find all the models you showed in the video or did you make them yourself?
Almost everything I sell is original artwork, somewhere in the order of 90%.
This is awesome. I hope one day I can have a print farm so far I have two resin printers and a fdm , my fdm one isn't working though , I need to look at it again .
You can do it!
Love the urinal in the backgorund!
Hi there, very interesting about what it would be like running a print farm. Can I ask where you got your round stackable filament tubs that you have on the shelves with little blue clips, are they designed for filament or just regular round tubs, for like cakes???? And do you put anything in with them so stop moisture?
5:07 filler on printing busts? As in the pellets are inside of the busts? How does that work
I see you have several different model machines. Other than bed size, are there any reasons you have so many different ones? I thought I saw quite a few resin printers too... Do you run them too? I have one Mars pro 2 and one Sidewinder x1. I'm thinking of trying to start something too. Thanks, Great video!
A lot of it was cost vs. time at the time. If you have little money and a ton of time, go Creality. If you have a ton of money and no time, go Prusa. Going forward I will be phasing out all of the Enders for something with a similar volume. I'll probably go with modded clones.
The resin rack gets about $2,000 worth of work a month, and isn't something I do D2C. That rack is B2B only, and I pretty much scaled it to grow with one of my client accounts. I did a vid on a typical production run here: ruclips.net/video/yfJgc8yfulk/видео.html
Great vid mate, I'm running 4 MK3s and hope to expand one day. I'm interested in your power cost method.
Thanks! I'll do a vid on that in the future.
Very cool ! How are you managing the printers (octoprint,kipper, etc
Nice video,
Buy hikvision dome place 1 or 2 middle of the room to see around in the whole room.
You can move the dome from home. And you would have really Nice videoquality.
You have a lot of options with a hikvision or dahua dome.
Keep up the great bisness
Thanks for the tips!
instant subscription from myself.
Curious however, Been looking into expanding my farm a bit. I only run 2 printers. A heavily modified ender 3 running klipper and a prusa mk3s+.
Looking into a 3rd or possibly 4th printer and noticed you have a handful of prusa clones.
I myself have been looking into the clones as they are less than half the price shipped so that could help me to justify buying the 4th printer.
I understand that its luck of the draw with some parts and how quality of bearings/rails/motors you'll get.
was your experience with your many clones good? did you upgrade those clones at all?
Basically im thinking on getting the clones then upgrading the motors and I already have backup rails/bearings for if the ones included are junk.
Thanks again
Tl:dr curious if you like your prusa clones and if you had any issues with them.
Thanks
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/tNtWpN-rPtU/видео.html
Thanks for sharing your day super intresitng.
How do you handle the shipping, do you have a bunch of different box sizes ?
I have about 1,000 mixed sizes on hand as well as a peanut dispenser and large rolls of bubble wrap. I need to do a video on the packing room.
Living the dream!!!
Yep!
what software did you use on your pc first few moments in the video?
Very impressive.
Thank you!
Hi and thanks for sharing! I noticed you seem to be using printed belt tensioners for some printers, what's your reason for and experience with that? I figured they would sag or break eventually, and was looking for metal ones for my plain ender 3, but now I'm curious. Any recommendations for a good design?
It makes maintenance so much faster to just turn the knob instead of loosening the OEM hardware. I think all of the newer enders have them standard. Mine pre-date even the bed wheels. I'll do a review/mod vid here soon on the Ender 3 and link all of the mods I use.
Which camera mount are you using for your MK3 Printers? Would appreciate a link if possible. Thanks for the great video.
I'll have to dig that one up. I don't remember off of the top of my head.
this is actually rly interesting to watch. We brought 2 printers in late november 2021 and just ordered 2 more as weve seen a large influx of orders. Interesting to see how somebody who does this for their job manages it
It's a fun job, but it's still a job!
Hi,
on which platform are you selling or do you have a website? And who are your customers? Students? Engineers? Tech nerds?
Best regards from Germany!
@@thedarkknight6159 I sell on Etsy & eBay, and I have a stand-alone website.
Good job!! subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Nice workflow and a nice Printfarm, very organized! What type of controller software you are using for the farm?
I show that in this video: ruclips.net/video/qPcq53zWjM8/видео.html
This is really cool. It looks like you've managed to tame one hundred wild animals. What software do you use to get the print jobs from your terminal to the printers themselves? We're up to 7 printers in our R&D lab but still 'sneakernet' the files around the shop on sd cards. Could multiple terminals manage the same cloud of printers?
Check this out: ruclips.net/video/qPcq53zWjM8/видео.html I've laid all that out flat.
@@3DPrintedDebris That's exactly what I was hoping to learn. Thank you for sharing!
@@TheVirtualFoundry You're welcome! Good luck!
which software do you use to manage your farm and print queue
I like the urinal in the back corner quick access so you can get back to printing I like it
So many people have commented on it!
have you pondered the integration of a dual nozzle printer where one of them is exclusivly for water soluble filament to printi supports?
I tested PVA and BVOH, and it takes too much time to dissolve, and then there's the issue of disposing of the dissolved solution. I might return to it, but for now it's an expensive add that I'm not sure is worth it.
quite interesting, how do you deal with the finicky startup and bed adherance issues? Im rather new and have to watch 1 printer like a hawk for the first 20 minutes, let alone your farm
I've done away with finicky startups with proper hygiene and harvest practices. I don't wait for the first layers anymore, just do a walk-around.
I'm wondering: what's the heat gun used for?
Awesome video 👏 I’m wondering, have you considered using injection moulding considering the amount of products you sell? Have a nice one!
I did the math on the mold costs vs. my order volume, and no one subject in my portfolio warrants production at a large scale. it's both a strength and a weakness in the business model at the same time.
Hey I was currious are you running ocroprint on those pc's under your printers? I'm at about 17 printers now and looking to move away from the SD cards. I've got a linux computer I'm working on installing multiple instances of octoprint and wondering how many printers can a migrade pc handle? Thanks
Those are actually UPS. Here's a vid I did on C2: ruclips.net/video/qPcq53zWjM8/видео.html
@@3DPrintedDebris Heading there now.
cool video, where did you get those shelves you use for your printers?
ULINE industrial racks
Great video. Are they all PLA? and what the heat gun use for?
Mostly PLA. The heat recolors the polymer and hides my work.
I saw some research that looked into smart particulate matter given off by various types of filament. ABS was of course horrible but PLA also had a fair amount. Are you at all worried about that in the long term?
I speak to that in this video: ruclips.net/video/iKInGAKbQI0/видео.html
Man the logistics are crazy! I wouldn’t be able to keep track of more than maybe a dozen printers.
Errors and omissions certainly scale with the number of orders and printers. Organizational skills and automation are key!
Great video! which printer produces the best print and is more liable as a workhorse? I see you have a variety of them
Prusa MK3S+ hands down. If I were to add more FDM, it would be more of those.
I'd love to hear more about your Prusa MINI modifications. They all appear to have V6 hotends? Have you covered these mods in another video?
yeppers, check this out: ruclips.net/video/W5fycPPCwyo/видео.html
Hi Excellent Video, thanks!. what is the power monitoring and logging software you use as well as the printer server software ? I am thinking to get into this line of work as I have retired and trying to get a handle on it all. Your help much appreciated.
For power logging I have a stand-alone meter on the mains to the shop that I take a reading on every day.
Network and control can be seen here: ruclips.net/video/qPcq53zWjM8/видео.html
You mention a pelletizer for the support material? What do you do with that and what does it do?
That will be in a later video for sure!
What shelving units are those? Looking to upgrade myself. Are they sturdy? Vibrations?
Nice vid.
Just an idea: couldn't you cut down your power costs drastically if you had an isolator under every heatbed? The heatbed with 200-300 W/h is the most powerconsuming part of a 3d printer.
I went through a glue phase for a while to eliminate the heated bed, only to find it slowed the harvest and setup time way down so that any power savings were sacrificed to labor costs. I do have insulating pads under all of the chinese beds, and it did reduce the power consumption of the rack by about 20%.
Hey
Im Running a prusa Mini + Farm and they’re all stock. I was curious if you upgraded something on your minis? Many people told me to get bondtech extruder and heatbreak but I made bad experience with both of these
Buy have I. Check this out: ruclips.net/video/W5fycPPCwyo/видео.html
I would like to know what software you use to monitor and maintain all the works from your desk. If you could share a little bit more on that please.. Thanks in advance.
I did a video on that a while back: ruclips.net/video/qPcq53zWjM8/видео.html
Do you use ups for each printer or do you have them on banks? If so which ups do you use ?
I have a video about that.
can you tell me what the name of the song is that is in the beginning, starting around 0:30? I really like it.
Do you use 100% infill? From the way you are handling some of your prints during the support removal process, it looks like it!
I handle my prints like this at 5-10% infill lol
what cooling fan assembly do you have on your cr-10?
It's the E3D modular hotend design off of Tverse, with dual 5015 fans.
I am thinking of starting a farme great video
Go for it!
I saw you were using some fluid when cleaning the product. What was it?
Super glue accelerant
Neitzche's head on the table looks good!!
Is there any option to order custom-painted models?
I used to, but it adds $100 to the price to do the paint job. Most people aren't willing to pay that.
Why no covers for printers and no dry boxes for filament that are on the printers?
Don't need them. I live in the desert, so RH out here is around 10% most of the year. For air quality, see my Air Quality Management video I posted yesterday.
Got to love the urinal right there in the print farm. Have to ask - what was there first - the farm or the urinal?
The urinal. You can see the move-in in my origin video. It used to have a sign that said "Deposit Coors Here" above it.
If you were just starting out - what printer would you buy? would you go for a cheaper one like an ender or (knowing what you know now) go for a more expensive one (I assume the print quality is better).
I would figure out what product I want to make first, then let build volume guide the purchase as well as material handling ability.
how do you deal with fumes from all the printers ? you also operate from same room as all printers
I made a video about that, check it out! ruclips.net/video/iKInGAKbQI0/видео.html
As a newbie to this all, I’d be interested in a video on the business end of finding the work for all of those.
Quick question probably obvious. Do you print in dynamic “0.16” or standard “0.2” quality? I print only in dynamic quality and it turns out exactly how I expected it to but just wanting to know what a professional uses for layer heigh.
It depends on the size of the model.
Do you use solar energy? By your power consumption it could be beneficial
No, I ran the numbers it's not energy dense enough to cover the farm at a 2-3 MW/month power demand at current scale. I need them to be double the power, and half the cost to make sense. I'll probably use solar to power my air conditioner, though. That line actually adds up.
Hey boss, i sea you were vaping around your printers, I also vape but was scared to around the printers, should it be fine to vape around the printers as long as it’s not too much?
I don't see any harm in it.
i figured but my anxiety always gets the best of me thanks man! im trying to learn how to do this and there is so much info on her ethat sometimes it throws me off and i heard some things can mess up filaments or printers. dang rabbit hole of youtube@@3DPrintedDebris
do you use a 3D printer management software? if so, what is it and where can it be acquired from?
Check this out: ruclips.net/video/qPcq53zWjM8/видео.html
Great video mate. Any chance on seeing how to use some of the software to run the print farm. Cheers Robert

Awesome 3D Farm!
Practice..... lots of practice.
Where did you learn the managerial side of things? I want to start my own print farm but I don't know what my first steps should be, or how to run the business
I actually founded a company prior to this one where I took all of my hard knocks in business. Your first step is to decide on a product you are passionate about, and then see what core tech can fill the production need. If it's 3D printing, great. If it's CNC or laser cutting, go that route.
