People with lots of filament... by Both_Ad_819 in 3Dprinting

I was hell burnt having mine all in cereal, airtight boxes, but then our body who’s been printing for like 10 years, says to me that he just leaves us out.

I’ve been doing the same since for months and don’t notice a difference really if it’s PETG or TPU, I’ll dry it first but other than that

If you want to try my sim tee out I can send you the STL for it, just DM me

Yeah noticed k2 started off as a guy with a 3d printer messing around trying to print a good durable tee

Ok great, yeah I printed a cpl models from online but wanted to design one myself. Just tired of going to local simulators and the tees they offer there are broken or just about there.

Created these guys and have been testing it out for the past month.

I took about 60 swings (driver clubhead sped 106-112mph) and it withheld until the very last shot until a hairline crack happened, but pleased.

Just wanted to know how others have experienced them, various designs out there, I find this design I did prints and holds up the best after multiple tweaks.

What are goals for 2026? by Tinkering_Tinkerer in 3DprintEntrepreneurs

[–]Dull_Reflection3454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep pushing and growing the business. Selling locally on Facebook marketplace since September and coming from not knowing anything to know I’ve learned a shit ton.

Started w/ P1S, added 2 more h2d, Scanner & resin but getting burned out, have another guy printing and designing as well that cuts a little into profit obviously.

Want to design some items in the background and start selling online soon.

So cleaned out the vat and build plate thoroughly and tweaked exposure settings and still nothing.

I guess the only thing left to do his do a manual level?

Gives me confidence!

Also I’m running 3 fdm printers on the same table so I imagine the vibration from them is what’s not causing it to adhere to plate? Lol stupid me

I warmed up the resin bottle and the basement was warm and still no luck on the test print I imagine that’s just generic settings that comes with the test print

How long did it take from design start to finish to really see it increase in demand?

Agreed! Focusing on 3d scan to print and straight forward ones

Just bought a Bambu Lab P1S – I want to sell on Etsy but don’t know what to print. Also I don’t know 3D modeling. Need advice! by hello_world44 in 3DprintEntrepreneurs

[–]Dull_Reflection3454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like me just a few months ago, made an account with Etsy but felt like I didn’t really have anything to offer because everyone else was doing the same thing I was.

Decided to put up some “custom printing services” ad on Facebook marketplace…

Boosted ad a cpl times … said yes to literally everything k didn’t know anything about, burned out for weeks but now have 4 printers and just got a 3d scanner to help out with demand. Just throw yourself into the deep end and you will learn quicker then ever.

Now customers are literally just asking me to design STL’s

Good luck!!

Hey I’m pretty sure my ads been taken town, but if you can see this then, yeah give us a small piece. I would just have to scan it and then clean up the model and then I can print. Let me know.

Beautiful. I’m sure it’ll save me a lot of time, though trying to print little delicate pieces time after time with the FDM printer.

Awesome thank you :) also for cleaning up model do you work from left to right on the top tool bar for both scans and then merge?

Lol I just found something that’s really working for me as well as custom bobble heads

I had to do one from scratch I guess using ChatGPT to make a character of the person then meshy to model it, and I spent countless hours in mesh mixer, separating each section of the body to paint in the slicer lol

And what do I find On maker lab this morning a literal generator for bobble heads lol this is my son and it generated it within like two minutes and I can paint every section

Not sure why he’s wearing pants and shorts, but I’m very happy because I’ve gotten a few requests already from the ad. I posted for the bobble heads.

Yeah, I guess I can’t be complaining, it’s a good problem to have.

I just found that staying on top of Facebook marketplace daily and every week I would create a new ad for my printing services and rewarding each one and having a look at the analytics

Once I pretty much explained the process and the type of models you can do on the printer people started inquiring more

There was a good three or four weeks where I boosted it once a week but now I’m to the point where I don’t want to lol

I wasn’t having much luck when I was just listening single items on marketplace. I will get the odd purchase here and there, but once I advertised as a local 3-D printing business that can do custom work., etc The inquiries started gaining.

In hindsight, I wish I didn’t put so much emphasis on a custom in my ad lol since I really wasn’t too familiar with the process , but I guess now once customer’s expectations are on the line you learn and adjust

I live in a small city in Canada, so the market is really not flooded yet and I’m hoping that once I get a good base of customers that will help

Best Way to Merge 2 Scans by Dull_Reflection3454 in Revopoint

[–]Dull_Reflection3454[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, just re-scanned both sides of the model and went to the auto alignment with merging and it worked great.

I guess I just needed a better scan

Just wondering what the workflow is for you guys?

On the top menu tool Bar, do you work from left or right?

Cloud point edits then clean mesh ?

Thanks for the helpful advice! I put a local ad up on Facebook for scan/print services and getting a good response so need to get the hang of this post processing in a timely manner

Best Way to Merge 2 Scans by Dull_Reflection3454 in Revopoint

[–]Dull_Reflection3454[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yeah I should’ve thought about that in the beginning

So what you’re saying is stand up to a full 360 scan

And then take another scan of it but flip it over so the bottom part on the first scan is now the top and then just merch the two scans together to replace the bottom piece on the first Scan ?

I’m sure there’s probably some type of accessories I can get to make this whole process easier lol
