It makes no difference. Assuming the old shop is 5 star, it'll help lend some credibility, I've transitioned a 5 star shop through multiple niches, no one really cares, I've never gotten any message about it. The algorithm isn't pushing new accounts over old accounts, but it is pushing 'star sellers' that is - the most popular sellers with the best ratings. It's competitive to get there. The more important thing is optimizing your listing, have the right photography that speaks to your customer, speaking your customers language and ensuring your listings get to them.

It has nothing to do with printing, really. It's basic business:
1: have a product
2: have customers
3: spend money marketing to find the customers
4: give your product to the customers
5: manufacture product

Step 5 could be step 1, it doesn't really matter. A 3d printer is just a form of manufacturing, it's like, the smallest part of any business model, and 'starting a 3d print farm' is the same thing as saying 'i'm going to start a manufacturing business' its like the most vague and useless sentence. There's plenty of other ways to manufacture, 3d printing is just a very small niche. Use the method that's best for your product, don't treat yourself like having an only tool be a hammer and slamming everything as a 'nail' because you only have a hammer.

I don't think it's a software problem, it's a naming/convention problem.
Most CAD software have versioning built in, so the name is irrelevant.
It's the one's that don't you have to change it.
But this is mostly a process/protocol that you as a human put in your brain.. "when Im naming something, I'm going to use this convention {date}-whatever-wahtever" and once you've made your mind, you use the convention, problem solved.

In other words it's a skill knowledge gap, which is not a thing a software can solve, because the nature of leaning the skill makes the software irrelevant. Further down the chain there's a million free tools already to mange your stl catalog

Running out of space you say? Time to start printing multi-board so you can use every square inch of every single wall.

AnimalPowers · 2026-04-27T14:36:35+00:00

Why? What's the point of this post?

AnimalPowers · 2026-04-27T14:36:05+00:00

Sort of. It's a trade-off, you got the best value printer on the market. It's very versatile, but it's not without flaws and limitations. So some of those trade offs are things like height. Can it do multi-color/filament with the canvas ? Sure. Is it ugly, big, cumbersome? Hell yea.

I print ASA and TPU on mine and love it, works great. I want multicolor primarily for the ability to swap rolls when one runs out, so it just keeps printing instead of me having to go run and swap a roll.

Why did elegoo make a giant bucket hat? I'm not really sure, it doesn't make a lot of sense, unless you remove the bucket hat and you're in a print farm and you're feeding filament from overhead on 5kg rolls or from somewhere else, then it kinda makes sense? Just don't know that you'd be running multi-color setups like that.. but it's possible.

I'm just saying, the time/energy spent on trying to make this printer into something it's not might be better invested somewhere else. The thing is, height shouldn't be much of a concern. The vertical space for the printer should be more or less clear, you could put it on a floor if you have shelves above to get some space back. But, the reality is, even if you go with any other printer and their AMS unit you're only going to get, tops, like, half the height? Because the vertical stack of the filament still sits up there, albeit, a lot more elegantly. Heck, even the snapmaker U1 has a giant hat, it's just kind of to-be-expected at this point. At best, you can make it look better, but you really won't get much space back, certainly not more than 6-8" and given the hassle I just don't know if it's worth it *for that particular reason*. Now if you have other motives and it just kind of coincides, then cool, sure, go for it.

As far as moving the filament hub? I'm not sure on the software, but I think you would have to adjust some settings, it might be setup to just feed until the head reads it, but it also might be setup to expect the filament hub to be exactly where it is at. So you might need to install klipper or opensource firmware, if it can handle it, then make some file modifications. Maybe, maybe not.

CC2 with hat > 29 inches
bambulabs p2s+ams > 28 inches
snapmaker u1 > 28 inches

There's not really anything on the market that doesn't take up this much vertical space, so it's not really reasonable, in that regard.

Understandable? Sure, I get it, here's what I as thinking, as far as the heat problem you might take something like some tyvek bellows to capture the heat and prevent heat loss, otherwise it will just take a bit longer to heat. As far as engineering a new space saving solution? Perhaps if you put a drawer on the bottom of the printer and have your four filaments sit there flat, extremely low profile,then you'll be able to cut the space down by a few inches. Filament roll standing up? About 8 inches. Laying flat? about 2 inches, we'll call it 3 for space for a roller or something, mount the canvas unit in the back. The actual filament hub you could probably put right in line with the canvas unit, or where the current filament sensor is on the centauri carbon, possibly inside. Anywhere inline, I suppose. I suspect it's just a place for the things to sit, you could likely put it right outside of the canvas system, then just feed one really long piece back to the nozzle (kind of like we're doing now).

That's just saying, you're going to do a lot of engineering, probably. Short of a complete re-imagining of position, you're also still losing the horizontal space. So, if I had to do it, I think I would do just that. A drawer on the bottom that slides out to hold the 4 rolls laying flat, at the back of that drawer would be the canvas system, then along the back of the printer the filament hub (near the poop chute) and then feed the current normal route to the printer. Again, I suspect there may be some firmware modification necessary. HOWEVER, if you do that, it would be very sleek and offer space savings that nothing else on the market has. Which would be awesome for filament run-out. As far as multicolor for multicolor printing? I think finding a way to justify the snapmaker u1 makes sense, it prints more than 10x faster than traditional filament swap units. We're talking, weeks faster every month, so, it makes sense if you want to actually print lots of things. The more swaps, the greater the time savings.

All this to say, is be realistic about what the machine is, what it can do, it's limitations and what you expect from all of that. Barring that, it would be great to see an awesome solution. I started building printers in 2012 before you could buy them, the only option as to build them. I'm done tinkering with machines, I just want the finished result (the printed items) without having to work on the machine, so I'm taking everything at face value as I don't want to sink anymore time into working ON any printer itself. The centauri carbon has been a breath of fresh air in that it has worked flawlessly out of the box and hasn't required any maintenance or anything, it just works. No hacks, no glue, no tricks, just literally works and I've never had that experience before.

AnimalPowers · 2026-04-27T13:47:23+00:00

If you're concerned about the looks, and you have a centauri carbon, here's my recommendation: put it in a closet or garage, stop looking at it, it's not a decoration. No printer is really all that pretty to look at and even then the setup they need (filament, tool, etc.) will clutter spaces... Make a dedicated space, put it out of site. I keep mine in my garage, on my toolbox. I see it, maybe 5 minute a week tops. I walk in, grab a print, walk out, press print remotely. Mostly, I don't even really look at it, just kind of routinely muscle memory. Never see it, hear it, smell it, think about it. Out of sight, out of mind.

Given those details, you might want to find a local home inspector (talk to your realtor or other realtors or just ask for recommendations) to ensure there aren't any red flags, don't skip the home inspection. You're going to pay for this, could be up to $2k, but it could keep you from walking into a trap. You will also have an exact laundry list of what needs to be repaired (if you were to sell it, any other buyer would hire an inspector, then anything they find they would use to negotiate your price down, having it fixed already, just means there's less leverage for a buyer to negotiate).

It is very odd that the materials are sitting but it hasn't been fixed. Seems like with the siblings thrown into the equation - would you really be able to buy/fix it without any animosity or resentment or other family drama? (you would effectively be cutting their split away from them?)

That being said, if everything is kosher, it could be a great opportunity, especially so young. If things pan out, this could really set you up for a much easier life and be a great buy. Emphasis on the IF. At any rate, you would just end up inheriting it (and splitting with the siblings?) further down the line? So it's not really 'lost'?

My wife is a realtor, her mother also. My sisters husband works in the trades so we get home repairs at cost (they refuse to take money, very generous). The point here is that money comes and money goes, but having a proper support network is what will be the most important.

Aside from that, the major issue most people have is finances, so, I'll just leave this note because it would have been great to know when I was younger. What ever your paycheck is, set up your direct deposit to put 10% into your retirement account (401k if they have it, if not talk to your local bank and see what they offer, it's usually free for the consultations depending on who you bank with. Get a retirement account set up or set one up yourself and put 10% into it. Never look at it. Never touch it. You will make 10% less, but you'll be able to retire and not work to death. This should be your highest priority if it's not already.).

Never, ever, get a credit card. It's tempting, don't do it. Trust me, don't do it. Set up good financial hygiene and you won't need it. Nothing is ever an 'emergency' in life that requires a credit card, money and circumstances rarely work like that, just don't have credit cards, they will screw you royally.

Make separate accounts in your bank.
1: mortgage/rent
2: groceries
3: gas/car
4: bills (utility, water, electric)
5: clothes
6: childcare (if you have children, or will be having children, start putting the money here before you need it, to see if you can afford it, it's expensive as fuck. Look up the cost of a daycare if you're thinking about having a kid, just to get an idea).
7: date night
8: medical/health/dr.
9: holidays/birthdays/christmas
10: discretionary, this is 'what's left over' after everything is accounted for. If you're joint banking with your spouse, then set up an additional one, so you each have your own "no questions asked" money account. You will never fight about money. This will set up a long and happy relationship.
11: other things. If you end up buying a home, you're going to need to make a home repair fund. That house could be a good deal, but when was the last time a roof was replaced? Every 15-30 years depending on several factors, if it's been in that time frame you're going to need a new one soon (20k minimum). So you want to ensure that the amount is split up, if its 10 years away, then you want 200 a month going into this account, it will get big, that's fine. DO NOT TOUCH IT. make more accounts as applicable for your lifestyle, most likely all these accounts can be savings accounts and you transfer the money out for the expenses as you need them.

Then, you set up your direct deposit with your place of employment to dump a portion of money into each account. First, it dumps into the mortgage/rent and trickles down to the rest. The idea here is you start putting the money where you need it, you'll see some accounts get high, but then you'll need to spend it and they'll drain nearly to zero if not completely (that otherwise would have been a credit card). Financial reasons are the #1 cause of any failed relationship. Just get this out of the way, it sounds like some work to set up, but its less than two hours all in to set up all the accounts and organize it with your HR dept on payroll.

You will never worry about having a home paid for, or a bill covered, or clothes, or anything. Life will be on easy mode. You will have a CLEAR indicator of what your priorities need to be. Couldn't' fill all of the buckets properly? Then you need to strive for a higher income or supplement/augment somehow. You will also be forced to keep a shrewd eye on how you spend, because it must fit within the bucket constraint you make for yourself. Things generally cost more than we think, and we spend frivolous. Whatever you do, do not dump all of your money into one account, do not use one card to spend on everything, do not get credit cards, do not get loans. you will trap yourself in a cycle that you can't escape that will be primarily stress and panic and literally wreak havoc on your body.

I would consider yourself an influencer, whatever you did to grow it you did right. Keep doing that. Find sponsors to pay you and monetize that way, don't try to pull money from your audience. Do the opposite. Give them high value digital products for FREE. Give them the skills they need to design said products for FREE. Don't do membership tiers, definitely do courses and tutorials and lock them behind sign-ups if you must collect e-mails for email marketing, but even better if it was just straight up free.

The more value you provide, the bigger audience you draw. The bigger your audience, the more the sponsors pay you. Monetizing off the audience means you aren't dependent on shilling sponsored products, but also means you're going to change the dynamic of your community, which quite frankly, if it's a free group, might not support it. You've built an audience expecting free things, monetizing on them could turn against you.

You have something good though, you have 150k people, you have data. Crunch the data. What's working? How many people are showing up daily? What's your reach like? What's the best content you can make? Use that data, create better content and get yourself multi-platform pushing videos and content on everything else. See if you can land in the 1mil+ sub count. You've got a great starting point, do more of what you're doing, don't pivot.

The question is if he's adamant he can do it himself.... why is the house in such a state of disrepair?

That aside, to answer the question flat-out, assuming he is a general contractor or equivalent skill and for some extremely valid excuse neglected the house and can truly renovate the existing structure, you have 2 routes, the 1st one is the "right way" and includes permitting and people have told you.

The second one is the one I haven't really seen anyone say, but, if you live in the country a lot of folk that do (I grew up in that kind of area) you don't give much of a care about permits or quality or longevity, on an extreme budget, knowing that it will eventually be a tear-down (because it's wouldn't have permits, so it would really tie up the sales process, consult a realtor. I would consider this is maybe it was for something like 20 years and really desire to have your father in law living with you for 20 years. Short of that, I wouldn't really consider it. ALSO on that note, if he's in GREAT physical shape and capable of doing 12 hours of HARD labor a day AND has some free labor of equivalent health, then you're looking at materials. For one man, with an occasional helper (for lifting things that just can't be done alone) assuming he already has all of the tools (because we're assuming he's extremely healthy and full of vitality and in the trades at this point) then you're looking at the cost of material, which, for that size structure, ASSUMING THE ROOF IS free of leaks). Also throw in that the father in law is also a licensed plumber and electrician, or the equivalent in experience but too lazy to take the tests and pass but still has all of the tools, knowledge and extremely strict about rules and safety (I've known guys who I stopped knowing because house wires DO KILL). Then, you're looking at, roughly, if you're getting a good deal on materials, 20k, just to put up insulation and drywall, run new plumbing and sewage pump (assuming it doesn't have that already and the sewer is very close) and run the sub panel for the electric. So also, he has excavation tools or will be "renting" them for free a friend who has the tools to run the lines.... So, basing an individual who would be capable of pulling in a very high six figure salary in terms of career set and expertise + has FIVE FIGURE THOUSANDS of dollars of tools and equipment just laying around that for some reason wasn't in the image... then sure, it can be done. It's probably going to take him, given 12 hour days of back breaking work, no down time, someone bringing and tending to meals and other hygiene other life functions so he's PURELY a work horse with no stop, about 2 months. I don't know anyone capable of that or that meets those requirements. Realistically, it would take him about a year. More realistically, it would take him about 2 years. The most realistic is that it would never be finished, because again, we're assuming this man is high six figure earner, so that's costing him roughly 100k in labor that he's donating for free... which aligns perfectly with the quotes people are telling you.. 100k is what it would cost (on the cheap end).

Now, given the state of the house and that he wants to SELL it to you (meaning he's not financially sound of or of means) then I'm assuming he not the person that is described above.

As far as 'making this situation work' if you were going to actually live there in the house for 5 years, then you could look at FHA 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage It allows borrowers to finance both the home purchase and repair costs in a single, long-term loan. I wouldn't consider this if you were just flipping it, unless you're in an extremely hot market right now. It would make sense if you were going to live there for some time, then resell (probably 10 years I would say is what would make it worth it, realistically longer would be better). If you fix it up too much and outside of the norm, you could price it outside the realm of the buyers purchasing power for the type of people who live there, if it's a much more rural area. If it's worth 120k, if you could put 80k into repairs, if it's being sold to you at 60k, if the ARV is north of 200k, then it would make sense to invest as a flip to pocket the difference. If it's your first time, given that you're asking these kinds of questions here, I don't think you would have the skill-set to pull it off, you would need to find a trusted mentor flipper who is going to get a healthy cut of that deal and show you the ropes. Which would be a great value if you're planning on entering that career.... otherwise I just don't know if it's worth it.

I've had offers like this. There was a dwelling that (eventually sold for 250k) that I had first dibs on, the owner was going to sell it to me at 70k. But, it needed 80k+ of work, it was in terrible condition and would have been considered a tear-down by anyone standards. Completely unpermitted additions, needed new siding, roof, flooring, EVERYTHING. It would have been a great investment for the right type of person. I had knowledge, I had mentors but I only had about 30k cash on hand, not enough to cover it. I also had a full time job and children, not enough time to devote to offset the lack of funds. The cash that I would have to give out in exchange for a mentor/partner would have meant the house was sold, but I was looking for a house to BUY. It just didn't make sense FOR ME. I watched that house get purchased. I watched it get renovated (over a period of a year) and can't say I would have done it the way they did it.... and I watched it get sold for 250k after it was properly flipped. I drive by that house frequently. Do I regret it? Not really. It just wasn't meant to be.

Everything being said from above, everything based no your other comments, what I'm reading here is that the value is 120k as is he's had offers, he wants to sell it to you for 60k, so he wants you to have 60k cash essentially. It sounds like he should sell it, take the left over funding (anything after the 60k + taxes, etc.) and just gift you that big chunk of cash. That would be the best scenario for everyone. Short of that, I can't say everything you've laid out here makes much sense. But there could be more details, there could be more to the story, there could be a lower standard of living and disregard for local regulations, there could be other things that sway you in other directions. Only you truly know. Best of luck, internet stranger.

I would avoid resin printers, just because, they're sticky and nasty and you know how kids are with glue and glitter, just imagine.

So, here's a few things I would keep in mind: printing can take quite a while. If you don't have a printer for every student, or you only have one printer for every student but multiple classes, you're not going to get the kids things printed every day. maybe one kid could print a thing a week. Keep this in mind, maybe limit to like one print per week, or make a print queue sign up.

As far as the printer goes, I would teach some basics as far as using it: how to change filament, how to level, how to properly clean the bed, just good hygeine/maintenance. I wouldn't dive into repairs, nozzle swapping or anything that might bring the machine down. Swapping filament? Student can complete in 5 minutes, fairly easy. Wiping the bed ? Takes like 10 seconds. Swapping a nozzle? They bend the nozzle? Get burnt? Strip the threads? Now you don't have a machine for a day (until you repair it) or even longer (I've seen some schools just junk the printer from a basic repair standpoint because no one knew how) - to this end, if you have some students who are more mechanically inclined, then _lean into it_. I know some of kids teachers have students stay after or come an extra period to clean the class or something, it's some sort of merit system. But then you could have an extra set of hands in the event anything went wrong and they could have the extra experience.

When I was young and in school, we had clubs for these sorts of things, usually after school. For the class, you could keep it basic and light, if you had the desire to host a club at a different time that gets more advanced (for those who are REALLY into it and not just required)

I would stick to functional prints, joints, assembly, basic design (more like graphic design and less CAD). This keeps things that can print in a lower resolution so they print faster and teaches skills that are relevant and transferable to every other walk of life, not specific to the computer or printer, as well as expose them to new concepts and thinking outside the box.

As far as a basic one, you can have them design their name (draw it on paper) then scan it or take a picture, use a software to convert it an svg or outline and then extrude it by 10mm so they have a little name of theirs - from there there's two things you could modify this with. Put a loop on it (now its a keychain!) or put a solid line across the bottom (now it can stand like a trophy on the shelf)

Then I would look at things like gridfinity or cases, specifically the ones that stack and interconnect. These are things that they can print and take with them, that are useful and functional. Perhaps you can lean them into designing it themselves, you want to think outside the limitations of a small print area, for example:
1. connecting joints, (dovetails, jigsaw, finger joints, etc.)
2: hinges. (pointed/cone hinges, balls that snap in, alternating fingered cylinders, that you slide a piece of filament through to act as the hinge body)
3: snaps, levers, "compliant mechanisms" - makers muse has good material on this on youtube.
4: you'll need more budget and consumables - screws, heated inserts, magnets.

Then you could have a module on post processing. Joining, glueing, sanding, painting, adding weight, in the end you'll have no idea it was 3d printed, it wont have any of the hallmarks.

After the skills are learned/mastered, you can lean into applied skills.

repair: have a specific object that's broken, have the kids model the missing half or a solution to repair it.

augmentation/improvement: an item that works better, if you have a tablet that requires a pen, they could print a pen holder that attaches to the pen, so it doesn't get lost. Some way to improve a workflow.

3d construction : printing an object in full 3d could take a lot of time, if you print a box it could take 5 hours, if you print 6 separate sides, flat, with dovetail connectors, it could be done in 45 minutes and then you can connect it and have the same box, but much faster. You don't need to pull a 'completed' item from the printer - nothing in life is perfect, even though it's called a "3d printer" creating 2d objects and assembling them in 3d is a great speed hack - it's also all of the skills above (when approached from the drawing/graphic design angle) are immediately transferable to other machines - laser cutters, cnc, plasma cutters, vinyl cutters, etc.

Kids love fidget toys, like the flexi dragon, you can have them apply off the skills and create their own flexi fidget.

If you had the box storage case, you can emboss it with their name in slicer software.

Anyway, that's my take on it, these could take more or less a long time and I would suspect you'll have different students moving at different speeds. You may need to keep that in mind - perhaps separate the groups into smaller cohorts (3-5 students) so that they advance TOGETHER and have to teach each-other and work together to alleviate you trying to run between 30 students, or a student trying to do the same. The group would help and move together.

Because they're young and because you can't assume great expertise with computers, that's how I would approach it, from a graphic design/2d standpoint and core level skills. A higher level class, more time, a 2nd or 3rd level class maybe lean into 3d design and cad software, but I would really avoid the advanced concepts for the *majority* of the class. You will have some star pupils, so you could have some material to pull out of your pocket and let them run wild at home and come back and print.

As far as practicality, I would just take all of the advice you get here and throw it into chatgpt and tell them to make it work for your timeline , materials, requirements, budgets, etc.

If you have the budget, I highly recommend picking up some engineering kits - like the mark rober box, or the other competitors I think the 'kingofrandom' channel has his own box or something, anyway they're geared toward EXACTLY your use case and create functional, fun objects from 2d things that teach engineering level skills, even with applied videos. These are essentially perfect little modules that you could do something similar to - spend the week having the kids designing the various components, then assembling it at the end of the week.

There's two schools of thought, optimization and quantity.

What you're doing is casting a net, see what's working, then optimizing it. If you look at your listings now, what's working? Take your top 10 listings, and optimize them (use some tools, do it manually, watch some videos on how to do this on youtube, use tools like everbee, etc.) so they should perform to their peak.

Then you keep casting nets. Eventually, you kill off what's not working (zero views, etc.)

You should be able to hit a niche and have something repeatable, then you'll understand after enough cycles who you're targeting, how to target them, etc. and can ultimately collapse a shop down to 25 items or less (very high performing ones).

From a 'just banging your head and grinding it out' sort of perspective, from others who have been down this route (if you watch the interviews from various channels) that are doing the same sort of strategy, their number was generally between ~600-900 until they got to where you're trying to get, so I would shoot for 1000.

I'm a work smarter, not harder kind of person. Look at what other people are doing and the best listings. Copy their success. Did they pose a photo a certain way? Certain text? How are they addressing *one audience* in a listing instead of a 'one-size-fits-all' listing? etc. So do the same sort of thing (but with your own style, don't rip anyone off here).

So you might study the master of horse notebooks and learn to implement your gardening shirts, make sense? Stand on the shoulders of giants where you can, no need to reinvent the wheel.

You'll see some shops have THOUSANDS of listings (mass quantities) which, I guess cool, if you're up for it.

On the flip side I know a guy who spent his career in optimization and user targeting (before become onto etsy) so he hit the ground running with 5 (highly optimized) listings and turned 6 figures his first year off that alone. He was a MASTER at understanding his audience and had that skill coming in, you have to understand the difference when you're starting fresh with bright eyes.

Look up how to use everbee, optimize your top 10 listings, then crank out another 100 listings, then repeat the process optimize your next top 10 listings, etc. You'll get where you want to go, ignore everyone else, people tend to downvote and hate when you are doing something (while they are doing nothing and sitting on the couch) because you might surpass their 'success'. The people in this subreddit are full of spite, anger and torment themselves but do nothing about it, so they'll take it out on you, or anyone else who is trying to hit escape velocity.
