Thank you. Very impressive.
The floor isn't overlooked; it's just a REALLY expensive upgrade when the money could be better spent elsewhere. We don't need ideas on where to spend more money, we need help organizing while spending as little as possible. Unfortunately, most content creators don't know how to do this either!
I loved my prusas, but they're slow and not great. I bought a creality k1 max (unicorn version), and I immediately didn't regret it. Yeah ok i needed some minor refinement, but Prusa just isn't hitting the same spot. Prusa should go larger and target the mid range market, they're already doing that with xl but frankly, it needs to be faster.
what brand is that shirt?
Hey Travis. I love your content. You are a big inspiration. Because of a lot of your ideas, I can’t stop thinking about organizing my garden shed, and my workbench tool area. I also really want to get into 3-D printing. I do have one question that I know that you know the answer to, but I don’t think you have ever talked about. Your business seems to be thriving and expanding rapidly. At what point, if at all, would it make sense to move away from 3-D printing to molded plastic parts? Is the idea to control the means of production and keep it all in house? Just curious.
It may have been an anomaly... but... Prusa has never had to recall every single one of it's printers in a specific line. I not positive, but I haven't heard of even one Prusa printer catching fire. Add to that the fact that Prusa keeps Bees and Lamas, and makes an amazing printer... then I can't really see them in the same light as Blackberry. Blackberry had their heads buried... either in the sand or somewhere else. Prusa does not.
I'm not only old enough to get that reference... I *worked* at AOL from 1995-2005.
Wow congratulations, you've come along was from your first videos (seems to be a standard comment on YT, but well done anyway!)
Just bought the works package from you for my new Ridgid 12”. Really excited to install and use it this coming weekend! Thank you!
Just put mine on and it works great thanks brother!!
Congratulations and continued success.
Nice setup you have. Great, actually. One possible and simpler option to the kanban system is the two bin system. Really easy and looks like you have good applicability in your setup. Always great to see your growth and innovation. Looks top notch.
7:54 - I use to work in a print shop where we cut down huge parent sheets of paper into smaller sizes post-print, using a hydraulic powered guillotine cutter... I think this would help you in your efficiency and speed. It would also help to reduce worker injury from joint pain and inflammation from repeated actions of lifting the, what appears to be, paper cutter blade up and down, and up and down, over and over again. It doesn't have to be hydraulic - I'm sure they've made better ones since the ancient one that we had... Best of luck! I look forward to watching more of your videos..
I use to work at a factory that had a "Flow" system in place. For every unit that went out the door, all material was re-ordered. At the end of the week if 100 units were sold, material automatically was ordered. I didn't understand it myself. I just assume it's off sales, and sales history. Con-bons were used just for line feed of supplies and inventory. Awesome to see your progress. As a self-employed person myself, it's impressive to see another expand.
Agreed. Bambu Lab is a prime example of why competition is important. Without Bambu Lab, we'd still be printing slow, but thanks to them, pretty much every manufacturer was suddenly able to release high speed printers. Prusa used to be an industry standard, but they either got lazy, too comfortable, or just couldn't be innovative enough anymore. That said, the principle of the XL is probably gonna be the next big thing. People like to do multicolored prints more and more, and multi-material prints are growing in popularity too, so reducing material waste is a very important step here.
Really awesome building all together! ❤
I'm a Bosch tools user from the UK, can I request more products for Bosch please!
I write software systems for a living, I'd have the software monitoring your orders and thus inventory and automatically reordering, eliminating the need for manpower that can better be used elsewhere. Awesome shop though.
Now a year later in 2024 you’re producing these like crazy on a 70 printer print farm!
Loved the tour of the shop! Giga Print idea for you, take a few of your most popular print products... super size them for decorative wall art
Wish someone would do a setup compilation/ completion series about makerspace/ workstation setups like setup wars. Would help a lot with trying to figure out ideas.
What I love about your channel is how you talk about it in its raw form and watch how you have progressed grown your own business that isn't just KZread. Congratulations on your growth. Keep it up.
Yet again another great video. Slam drunk.
No nonsense review thanks
Awesome video. Got to love systems and processes it's what separates a great business and a struggling business. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
This is exactly what we're gonna do! Wife loves the color is it black or some sort of charcoal question mark
Like a lot of people here, I do think it is impressive with how far you've come. You are in a seemingly enviable position with your booming business and KZread channel. I work as a manufacturing engineer for my day job and I would like to have my own enterprise too, but I'm not sure I would want to recreate what I do for work at home. Although it's useful, I truly hate lean six sigma and most of it's nomenclature (I'm glad it works for you). I hear the words Kanban or Kaizen and I shudder. That being said, I'm glad you're splitting things up. Even with as far as you've come and all it's glory, there was something charming about your work with an at home shop. It was more attainable for the average person to aspire to and your solutions have been pretty interesting in that area.
Here again for the vid because "No one watched" ✊
Congrats Travis on the progress and success~! It's been great watching your channel & business grow since I first started watching your channel. Looking forward to more general "Greatness" from you, brother~!!
I actually watched your studio build vid and stole some ideas for my work at home setup. Thanks for sharing!
Super impressive!
Hmmm! Considering the 30 inch Brio fire ring insert is $1,350.00 bucks, no thanks. I will follow Haxman’s guidance and build my own.
Do u have a solution for the ridgid r4123? Or does anyone else? The collection is horrid
i totally get the idea and the point of the print farm but wouldnt it be more efficient to go to like injection molding for most of these things once you have the prototyped?
Can't wait for all the NOOBS ho fall into this trap once the bambu needs service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With no service distribution centers and difficult to work on, it will be half the cost of the printer!!! I have had two come through my shop for service, they were upset to find out the rate for service matches that of a car so a 2 hour service job plus parts is half the price of the printer. NOOBS be ware, learn printing on a simple machine that you setup then you can service the more complex machines. There is no such thing as easy and cheap Bambu!!!!!
That’s a tremendous amount of work! Congratulations on your success 👍
What are all the saws for?
I'm from czech republic, home of prusa. XL with 5 heads cost same as booth of my previous cars and half of my actual.
Dream setup. It's good to see things run by someone who appreciates the many benefits of keeping things clean and organized. Spend the money on the good tools that produce and last. Keep your materials and hardware at hand, whenever they're needed. Hopefully... pay your employees well for their work - keep them happy and healthy - give them performance bonuses when they make the company good money through hard effort.
Awesome shop tour. But how do you keep the dust from the P1S's part of the print farm?
Living proof that "if you're not growing, you're dying." You'll expand the building in the next 16 months (or less!).
Are you logging the data from your 3D-prints? I am planning to log all my X, Y, Z, hot-end-empterature, bed temperature connected to a printing config in a time series database.
why dont you make a 3d printed gig for cutting those flaps
Curious why you went with a bunch of P1S vs X1C?
Thing is, blackberry was a business phone in a consumer market. bamboo lab is a toy company in a tool market. i don't know any hackers that respect bamboo lab. they're propriety fiddly garbage looks slick and all but it's no tool for serious people looking to get work done who don't have time for cloud horse shit. there may be a market for fiddly consumer garbage in the 3d printing market but it will never take away from the market of people who need a printer that they can actually rely on and that doesn't need proprietary garbage to operate.
Really cool 👍🏻
Congrats on the success Trav! Honestly I miss the diy, shop, build stuff you use to do. But, happy for your success!
What do you sell? I want to buy something now!
