Just a quick look at 3D printing and how we finally worked out the bugs to start production. It's a whole new world for me, and I hope you enjoy getting a look.

Marco P. Lascari

Congratulations!! Development is always difficult, but it looks great!

Sean McGown

Great work! I imagine that the patience required is double that of the technical expertise required to do all the experimentation. Your persistence in the face of all these fronts you've opened combined with the non-channel challenges is impressive.

Alan Berman

Looks amazing! Have you considered a print farm like Slant 3D? They might save you from having to run your own print farm.

John Laudun

It's good to get these behind the scenes looks at print-on-demand production. As someone with little to no experience, I had no idea how long it takes. 4 hours per unit!

Kyle B. Johnson

The Bambu P1S printer is a beast! I have the original Bambu X1 and it is an amazing machine. Prints certainly can take a while, but they can be printed "on demand" without needing to do larger runs of injection molds.

Richard C von Brecht

I’m glad the you achieved an economical cycle time. My son printed twenty T Rex heads as wedding gifts and each took over a day to print plus cleanup time. But they were a hit with the guests.

Dean Wight

I am so enjoying this topic! It’s fun and educational: everything YouTube should be. Thank you.

Gerald Eddy

Super! Happy to see your success and look forward to more in the future!

LiraNuna

The color contrast is amazing! Bambu is really ahead of all other printers it's quite amazing. How's the PETG holding? I'm guessing you've been dogfooding it for a while now.

Wayne Miller

I’m excited to hear your back up and running

Jon Linna

Love! And Thanks for sharing!

Matt Evans-Koch

Way cool, Rex and crew. Can't wait to see the "manufacturing facility" when you have it set up. Have a wonderful week.

Dave West

Nice, that's very cool.

Rex Krueger

Bambu is a game-changer. It does this print in a QUARTER the time of previous generation printers. PETG is a real challenge. It's hydroscopic and needs drying a careful handling, but once Lucas got it dialed in, the finished product is impact resistant, stiff and resistant to most solvents. It's sturdy!

Rex Krueger

It's a real shock when you're new to it (I am.) I never would have gotten into this without Lucas and his expertise.

Rex Krueger

Every time we get a quote, the price is too high for us to hit our retail price targets. Besides, once we own the farm, we can make all kinds of stuff.

Rex Krueger

You're very kind. The hard part was dumpstering a 3kg spool of off brand PETG when we realized that it wouldn't print, no matter what. Money in the trash!

Borjan Tchakaloff

Congrats on honing your prints! Sounds like a lot of sweat went into it. Here's to hoping it'll be a hit for compass rose tools!

David Niebergall

Looks like a project I'd rather have plans for to make my own from wood. I dont support your channel to buy stuff, I want to make it

Alan Berman

Fair point... I have no idea what their rates are. I imagine their target market is people who want to "set it and forget it" and just let the print-on-demand stuff handle itself.

Dan Delie

Hay Rex looks 😍. Will you be able to make a left-handed version????

Frans van Ballegooijen

Congrats with this win. Better start printing now, or you won't be ready for Christmas...

Chris St. Cyr

You could, but the part that rests on the bench would hang over the front of the vise.

Dan Delie

Maybe it is my vise it is 21 and 3/4 inches long it is not a moxon vise. The right handed version over hangs on the out side of the bench when using it.
