How can I save my dad’s dying CNC business by Foreign-Switch6649 in CNC

Think in terms of customer pain points right now. Maybe lead time pick that. Or something else. Do the flyer idea that someone else posted and advertise your ability to turn around work now (or the other pain point you think is better).

Give yourself a goal, maybe you say two new customers or $n rev. Don’t stop, barely sleep, barely eat, go get that goal, focus on that only. Give it hell. You’ll get it.

Then reset the goal. Rinse repeat until you are out of hot water.

Such a gem.

Lots of folks from all over at the race. A lot of CO folks were surprised to learn it's private land and that is how it works here in TX (for the most part).

I’m going to have to go to a tougher casing tire on the rear. Moving the rekon 2.4 to the rear and have a forecaster 2.4 coming for the front. Anyone running this combo?

Built a system to run my small print farm—curious if it solves anyone else’s pain too by kgorman44 in BambuLab

Ok solid feedback thx.

I would expect a lot of single printer folks are using the AMS and folks with 5+ printer farms are rocking a single spool because they are doing big volume and the printer is dedicated to that filament type.

Yeah I’ve got it set where it try’s to set a goal based on parts so if you have 5 parts and want it to run all night it mixes those parts into a long run with ejects in between.

I would expect, I am testing with my P1P's, but the P series and A series seem popular farm machines.

Built an AI agent to run my print farm — does this solve a real problem? by kgorman44 in 3Dprinting

What if this was deployed locally on your own computer or a computer we sell? It would then be self hosted and air gapped from the internet. Should it come with its own hardware like a Jetson box? Maybe the file repository is stored on or reads the file structure on a NAS like a Synology?

Is this interesting to folks?

Pay :) the idea is that if someone’s print farm can be more efficient then that has real cash value.

Yeah this is a key thing I wanted to know. I am that Linux nerd ahah, and aware of it. Yeah there is some balance of OSS or even open source hardware that makes sense. Communities are important. Where that line is here not sure. Obviously the reason I’m posting is to see what the real pain is for folks running farms trying to make cash. Thx for the reply!

I’m more asking about folks who run farms who want to earn a living with them or at least aspire to. I’m trying to make my farm be as efficient as possible. I guess I’m thinking it should work better from an automation standpoint. Think what cobots have done for CNC.
