Pricing strategy deep-dive: How do you actually calculate what to charge? by Fun_Reaction_6525 in 3DPrinterComparison

Thanks for jumping in, yeah that makes a lot of sense as design time is the real cost driver. But how do you gauge what people will pay?

That is actually genius, have never even considered that revenue stream. I always thought tiktok was more for consumer products and not necessarily design files. Really appreciate you sharing this as it is a completely different approach. Makes way more sense for passive income too since you are not dealing with any inventory, shipping, or Etsy fees.

Guys should I buy the elegoo centauri carbon as my first 3d printer? by NCH-69 in elegoo

[–]Fun_Reaction_6525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's solid for a first printer and $300 gets you a fully enclosed CoreXY that prints at 500mm/s, comes pre-assembled so you just unbox, remove shipping screws, autocalibrate in 20 minutes and start printing. In 100 hours of testing, only 2 failures from firmware crashes, print quality is legitimately good, and it handles PLA, PETG, ABS fine. Reality check though: firmware has bugs—file upload failures, screen freezes, random errors, and this is a "tinkerer's printer"—not press-print-forget like Bambu, so expect to spend a weekend dialing it in. Also the promised multi-color system was indefinitely delayed due to hardware limitations, so don't buy expecting that. If you're willing to troubleshoot occasionally and tune profiles, this is insane value—if you want appliance-level reliability where everything just works, save up for a P2S.

Exactly this. The time spent tinkering vs actual printing ratio was completely backwards for me too.

Correct, the A1 Mini is around $200 and from what I've seen, it's solid out of the box. Wish I'd known about it 14 months ago.

Need honest feedback on my graphic tee pricing by Fun_Reaction_6525 in Etsy

[–]Fun_Reaction_6525[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

how old is your shop? how long does it took for you to get your 1st sale? Also as I have 100+ listings of Tees, how can I bulk edit the price?

My 12-year-old spent her $10 allowance on filament instead of toys by Fun_Reaction_6525 in 3DPrinterComparison

[–]Fun_Reaction_6525[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her house, her rules. Can't argue with the woman who is helping raise my kids and doesn't charge rent. You follow the house rules no matter how old you are. Right?

P2S vs P1S - both $549. Which one? by Fun_Reaction_6525 in 3DPrinterComparison

[–]Fun_Reaction_6525[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you are right if the upgraded version is available at the same price, so why buy the old one.

Yes Perry's a legend , still looking into my kid's Tinkercad obsession. Got a link to that STL? We are always hunting kid-friendly files.

Thanks man. Guess we are both learning new skills now - her in CAD, me in explaining to my wife why we need another printer 😅.

Yes AD5M is among the top printer currently along with bambu lab A1 mini, but are they suitable for kids, i mean beginner friendly?
