Yes, total project cost structure is a most. Your "fee" on top of the cost of materials and farm operational costs (electricity, maintenance, processing, post-processing) accounts for your own personal time as project manager. You manage the account (whom you work with), the agreed upon design(s) - if you design or assign a designer, and how the design is to be manufactured, and how the finished project is to be delivered. People tend to forget how much time and effort they put into something. If you don't assign yourself an hourly rate, you are basically working for free. And yes, we do sometimes do things for friends, but please be judicious in what discounts you want to give. So thank you, Joel, for adding to this conversation.

Love seeing the printing at scale. I recently did a project for my company to make our logo into a medallion that could be sent to our chapter members. 7 medallion “bases” to a plate, 1 “petal” for each color of the logo and there’s 5. It was a learning experience. Then assembly was done with a couple friends paid in pizza lol

Thanks for walking us through the cost process. I'm fortunate that I do projects for friends as a favor, unless it gets out of hand. I have a money back guarantee. I don't see it as a job, but my full time hobby in retirement, when you charge everyone has different expectations

Regarding broken yeti's, you should also consider how much time it costs to do it slower. I remember one time when I was producing rolls of chain and sometimes the machine would mess up. I could save the chain, but it would take time. Throwing away the material was cheaper than my hours (and I was just an intern, so labor was cheap).

Wow. Those Bambu printers really are fast. Almost twice the speed of the Prusa MK3. Interesting. The video is a great primer on how to operate a print farm successfully too. Very nice info here. Thanks, Joel!

They produce the same quality as Prusas as well. Overall they are a solid choice as long as you don't mind that you can't really tinker with them like you can with Prusa printers. Although, the Prusa XL is faster with multimaterial compared to an X1C with an AMS, but the XL costs several thousand USD more.
@DanialBulloch 6 ай бұрын
The MK4 is much closer to the Bambu printers in speed. The MK3s are reliable workhorses, well proven, but they are long in the teeth.
@awilliams1701 5 ай бұрын
yeah those mk3's are antiques at this point. It's why prusa is discontinuing them. The mk4 is so much better. Better quality prints. Faster prints. Easier to use.

@awilliams1701 at the price not worth it if you can get a machine that actually does something else than pla or petg (which pretty much any printer can) it's pretty stupid to not buy the better product I also shot myself in the foot that way, i was like meh i only print petg, but i'd love to print nylon or pc for things that need to be strong, but it'll just warp to hell

Is there a "Joel Club" that you met this other Joel? I've done quite a few massive print runs for clients that were 2D traditionally printed graphics for DVD covers, posters for clients that wanted thousands, etc. Most printing companies that do this sort of work would give me a percentage of possible over or under a final amount. Such as if I was ordering 1000 of something, they would say, "If you absolutely need no less than a thousand, then you should order 5% more because we have to account for printing failures. They would only charge me for the successful ones, but they weren't going to do another print run to just fill out the messed up ones. I always hated that, but it made sense why. Might be worth considering something similar for very very large orders. Thanks for another interesting video. High-5!

And I can confirm they do make great PCBs. I have one in my C64. It's a mod that lets it flip between NTSC and PAL at the flip of a switch. I've also seen a couple of videos of their prints. The quality was great.

Absolutely have to plan for all the little things, and failures are going to happen! It is important to take that into account in estimates. I am wrapping up an order for 10,800 parts, 9 design variations, 1200 each design. They need 1200, so I built a 10% failure rate into my numbers, essentially estimating on printing 11,880, and delivering 10,800. Test prints were also built in. And while my energy costs are pretty low, I have 3 Vorons assigned to the project, and a total time estimate of 900 hrs. So it is still about $100 in power. I even budgeted in a quart of IPA for cleaning the build plates 250 times!
