What about the … hmm … human nature related facilities? Kitchenette, toilet…? 😊 Recording a video can be a time consuming process … and we’re only humans …

USE THE CEILING. As much as you possibly can attach everything you can to the ceiling. Gantry mounted lights and cameras will give you greater range of motion eliminate tripping hazards, running your electrical overhead eliminates tripping hazards. Floor looking up shots are almost never preferred, so it doesn't even have to be pretty... Creating good overhead options requires empty spaces below, so this is the single best time to make the most use of that resource. Looks like it will be great. Good luck.

I know the cost is very high, but I have found that getting a good UPS for my printer has been super helpful. It removes an "unknown variable" and accounting for their space in placement didn't seem to be something you leveraged.

Having a tool wall on the primary backdrop definitely makes sense as that is kind of your brand already. That said if you are worried about it being too busy you could consider having it on one of the two sidewalls and then having a more neutral back wall. This would also give you two slightly different backdrops depending on the camera angle. Not sure if this would work with the glass of the print-farm but using the glass wall as a backdrop could give the print farm as a cool backdrop while also keeping the sound down. Also, would use the same center hanging light.

We're building a studio this year, too! It will be a room on the second floor of our house. There will be a table that fits three 3D printers, but I can put three more under the table and add shelves on top to house three more, nine in total. Another table will be positioned on the other side of the room, by the window, and used for cleaning prints up and assembling projects. HSW panels will be on both sides of it. I'll put a modified RepRack on one of the angled walls and drawers with hardware on the other. There will also be a third table for cleaning specifically resin prints. These are my plans for now, I'll edit this comment if they change.

Yes! I am eagerly anticipating the continuation of this series, and I aspire to create something similarly captivating in the future. Keep up the great work.

Awesome! I do agree for the most part, but in the main set, I would scale the honeycomb wall 200% or higher to make it pop out a bit more. As for the sitting set, I would display some prints on smaller shelves like the IKEA LACK (which you might just 3D print yourself!) maybe sort the prints by a rainbow color gradient, but still keep the Patreon names. Some more plants in all the sets could be a nice addition. But whether or not you do implement the changes I suggested, I am excited for the future of your channel. More power to you!

I am excited for you man, looks great! Can’t wait until it’s all set up and running. Here is my two cents. As an engineer I can not overstate the importance of these two things and strongly recommend you drop everything else and move them to the top of your planning priority list. ELECTRICAL- Do not make the assumption you will be able to run all your equipment and printers. Find out exactly how many circuit breakers you have, and what each is rated for in rms (NOT PEAK) watts. Plan your space around this. Each printer will easily use 100w. Your recording lights probably 300w each if there not LED, the lasers, I don’t even want to know lol. If you don’t have close to enough, look for ways to save power and/or spend the money now and hire an electrician to re wire the space. Will suck for sure, but will suck a lot more if you have to do that after it’s finished and waste a month of effort rebuilding. HVAC- This is not something that is left to an after thought, ever (for safety and comfort). You need to estimate and plan around the heating from electrical equipment, moisture loading (outside conditions + current hvac equipment capability), desired temperature in each room and fume management. Otherwise you are looking at some combination of (if not all) -dangerous fumes in your work space (you need the resin printer room and maybe the regular printer room to have a negative pressure blowing air out of them, and every other room to have a positive pressure or blowing air into them) -a completely outclassed AC system where your workspace ends up being 29C and/or a 500 a month AC bill (this can be mostly avoided with well thought out ventilation, but if possible during colder outdoor temperatures you want to use the heat of the printers with some valves and clever vent layout to keep the space warm and save $$. ) -if there is a temperature differential between rooms and your humidity is not managed. You will get mold inside your walls, which will be at best, very expensive and at worst dangerous (again proper ventilation is key. Also consider an ERV) Now for my personal thoughts. -those cameras rails looks expensive. I would try and use some extruded aluminum rails/channels, mount them all over the ceiling and buy/make the mounts. Can hang literally anything and everything off them, including all the lights. Won’t have a single tri pod on the ground which will be a god send in my opinion haha. -accustic panels stop sound wave reflection, they do NOT dampen noise. Put them in rooms where you record to stop echos and make the audio crisp. No where else. If you want to reduce the printer room noise. You need to stop air from travelling from that room Into the one you are in. Which means air tight doors and a lot of silicone caulk in/by the walls and ceiling. Also baffle the vents if any travel between the two rooms. -do not use those aluminum and particle board shelves for your printers like shown in the vid. They will ruin your print quality with how unstable they are and you can’t even stand on them. Spend the time and build some STURDY shelves that are perfectly level, don’t have any play or any ability to vibrate at varying resonance frequencies, and you can stand on them. -I would reconsider the idea of a print farm. Any one can start a print farm, not many people have your skills, knowledge and Influence. Use that to make your money, it will scale much better. If you start a print farm I have a feeling that you will get sucked into a rabbit hole of depending on the print farm for income, while it sucks all your time away managing 10 printers and needy clients preventing you from making videos and growing the brand. Which leads to a huge feedback loop, which I am sure is the last thing you want. I also believe you are over looking an absolutely huge and critical part of the space being successful long term. Making it easy and reasons to WANT to be there. I am sure you will go through slumps and declines in revenue/growth. And with the space no longer being in your own home. It will be way way easier to find excuses to not keep grinding. Find other things that will get you out of the house and into the space. Something else you really enjoy doing. Or maybe a responsibility there that can’t be easily ignored. Maybe get a fish tank haha, will make sure you are in the space every day, add to the video aesthetics 100% if set up nicely and give you new niches to print (and potentially make videos for). Also maybe add a TV and gaming system on the couch for the kids to keep them entertained so they can be there while you work. Let me know if you want me to expand on anything. Good luck with the build and channel!

Congrats mate. Great channel, looking forward to seeing your videos building this out.

One thing to consider with the honeycomb background is the moire effect on screen. You can see it in the renders at some points and MIGHT be distracting at times in a video. All depends on the relative scale of the pattern. Larger the better as far as that goes. You could get around this by having a shallow depth of field to slightly blur the background. But for me, as long as you’re well lit and can easily be separated out from the background visually you’re good. I personally really like the honeycomb pattern in black with a color peppered in there to pop it and give dimension. You have good design sense so whatever you land on will be cool and fun. Another thing is make sure all background things are secure and don’t shift. You don’t want to see cuts where a cord is in one position and then moves in the next cut and then back again. Or if you use a tool between cuts and don’t put it back in the exact same spot. Possibly ruining continuity.

Big project, I like it!

Well done! You’re ideas are great! Couple things to consider. Shops/workspaces really do change with time and as businesses grow and adapt to market needs and life changes. Be open to the idea that this plan, while very good, will likely change several times. To allow for that, keep everything on wheels. Real wheels. Not crappy plastic office chair wheels. Good casters. If you need to secure a bench to limit motion, just add a couple screws that anchor the bench to a wall. Remove two screws and move the item as needed. Quick and easy. For the concrete walls, install a wood strip around the parameter and use that for future attaching so you don’t need to always drill for Concrete anchors. For a small space like this, keep cabinets small and get multiples of them. Two rolling toolboxes for example can easily be made into a base for a big workbench. When not in use, pull the top off and lean that up against the wall to open up floor space. It’s also helps for moving large items around the space if you can easily break down a “big” bench. Drawers are that of kings. Keeps things clean and less cluttered (you already got that😊) keep storage cabinets for the most part very shallow in depth. Only deep enough to grab the item you need, not the item behind 6 other things. And my last thumb type vomiting….😅as you mentioned, keep tools where they are used. Even if that means having duplicates. The time spent wandering from place to place to get a little screwdriver is wasted time that adds up so quickly it hurts. I look forward to the process. Keep up the great work! I’m brand new to 3d printing, your channel is one of my go to’s! Hopefully my 20+ years of building cabinets and furniture and having had 4 shops from 75 sq feet to my current 4000 will give you just a little help. Cheerio!👍🏽👍🏽. PS. As you know, opinions are like assholes. We all have one and and they all stink. Feel free to totally ignore me and you do you! 😅

I'm almost ready to start making my workshop in my new home. This series will be ideal to be inspired by! I have 25m2 of space (with a +- 3.5 meter high roof).

The 3D printer farm room looks gorgeous 🔥😍

Will be happy to visit.. Greetings from the Galilee.

thanks for sharing the progress with us here. It will be a heck lot of work! ... but keep enjoying the progress here. The goal will not be on getting finished here, but enjoying the constant progress.

I love the title, trying the same at home, but with a lot less space. Happy to see you have fun doing this

A lot of work to come but the important thing is functional for your needs!! Nice projects!!

Congrats!!!!! Consider adding sound dampening to your print farm as well as your recording spaces. It should reduce the printer noise even more while you're recording. Can't wait to watch the journey unfold!!!!

I have 2 pieces of advice, though I am far from an expert. 1) If you use a tool (for me this is scissors) in multiple places just get multiple copies (if it's pretty cheap - and for me scissors are) and put them in all the places you use them - this way you aren't walking around back and forth because you forgot them elsewhere, because you were using them on the last thing you did. 2) Consider keeping tools together by task, so that when you go to perform that task everything that you need is there or mostly there.

I would love to see in depth videos of how you set up and manage your print farm, both the technical and the business side of things

I’m excited to see what’s to comes Also, I didn’t realise you channel is less than a year old and such great production value! Out of curiosity what was your previous job? I would be great to see a video of your journey to start the channel/3D printing.

2:55 I feel you on that one

Hi Jonathan, thank you very much for all the highly informative content. Subscription added. Currently I am designing an educational center out here in Mallorca, which I hope will also feature a print farm and makers space, but I am planning to 3d print a large percentage of the building itself. So I will be keeping a close eye on your channel for part 2 etc.

Awesome let's go do this.

Thats awesome dude! 🤘😁

Nice Develpment. My 2 cents. Calculate the power requirements for the many printers and rest. You probably need more then 2 circuits. This rooms could perhaps have a larger gantry on rails attached to the ceiling or walls. You could hang all of your equipment from there and easily push it around. It doesn’t need to be expensive… 2x4. Plus printed parts. And some rolls.

Just watched a vid last night where you were saying you wanted something other than the home office 😂 glad you found something :D

Haven’t watched the channel long but this seems like an awesome project! Excited to see how it turns out

the honecomb wall is really a must my gf starts to refer to you as the guy I got my "wall thingies" from^^ when she walks by (startet printing them my self) Like them really much! Keep up the cool work

space is limited in my house, so ive been throwing around a convertible workshop idea(yes, like a car). A variety of heavy duty locking hinges would allow the table to fold up from the wall, and the outer 2 walls to fold off the one real wall as well. This means i can hang my tools on the inside, then fold it flat against the wall for VR use or just a regular dinner table. The shitty part is that means all my tools will be on the wall above the dining table, but im a single dude, so i dont have a wife to complain about the fact that the dining table "painting" is a variety of tools on the wall Basically it would be 4 plywood boards on the wall, all on interior hinges. The two in the middle are top and bottom, so the hinges allow folding down or up into two seperate height tables. The outside two pieces are floor to cieling(ish) and fold out from the wall into side walls, reinforced with a couple pieces of 2x4. All the hinges are interior hinge, and 180, so i can potentially fold it into a slightly off the wall "box" so that company doesnt see all my tools.

I think its alot to do at once so understanding order of operations will be key. Also if this is rented how easy can you move apply to another space. Even havjng a main set to work from would be awesome.

A wall of photo equipment would make sense if you had a photography channel. You might want to make it more instantly recognizable as 3D printing related.

Everything sounds great, the only thing I'd change is the main recording space's rear wall. If you make it too busy it might take away from the videos, I'd probably throw up a large sign or something like that. I do like the idea of having larger prints on the side walls. Hopefully everything goes well!

How are they going to inspect your space to make sure it's being zoned correctly? How much do you have to hide your video equipment and non-warehouse stuff? Seems like a grey-area.

I like the wall hanging thing, maybe change out the tools every so often to spice things up. Did you include a bathroom and kitchen in the warehouse? Might need one by code but you don’t have to go crazy. The most important room is the bathroom when you don’t have one. The electric is easy but expensive for your plans. Also, check your local building codes. Not sure about Tel Aviv, but in the states new construction needs one outlet every 12 feet/3.9 meters. Get multiples of things you like already but hold off the crazy expensive things like cameras. What about opening up the print farm like a maker space for the public? Maybe classes for intro to 3D printing and design and the like? Might even get some good press if you work with local schools. Good luck.

I like your plans with the space. As mentioned in other comments, I would suggest the back wall in the main filming area to be clean. Keep the focus on you and what you are showing. I like your videos! The only thing that bothers me is the camera shots from the right. To dramatic for me. You don’t need that to get your point across. Have fun building the new space!

Amzaing thanks for sharing

YAY

That primary set idea sounds awesome!

Are you related to Morely Kert? lol great stuff and congrats my man hope it all works out for you.

Can the honeycomb wall be rgb led???? Maybe printed in transparent filament backlit??

the couch gives of the feeling of a uncomfortable hidden corner, at least in the video

Do an in person tour when it's ready 🙃

The cupboards as you walk in the door need to be given sliding doors so you aren't taking up space when it's opened, or stopping the front door from being opened.

Very cool, glad you found a place so close to home, I missed where all the computers were going though, if you are getting a sparky to run power, consider ethernet too. I like the sliding light solution. Also the alcove with the sofa, never buy a sofa with just sitting in mind, you are probably going to want to sleep there occasionally too.

Wall behind you should be of printed projects. Plase your usable products low on the wall,(somewhat outside few)

I want to see an entire wall of HSW in black with a thick diagonal strip of HSW in an accent color! [ / ]

Have you considered dropping a green screen somewhere? Could help with that idea of shooting a video in different “places,” if you think it’s something you’d use

I also used to work in visual effects and have some knowledge of blender, so can probably offer you a second oppinion etc if it helps ever.

Make that 40,000!!! 🙂

decent ideas. just make your main honeycomb wall more neat and tidy. its always been pretty chaotic. hth.

1st grats mate 🤟 2nd we should talk I might be able to help i compleated most of my workshop I think we can set up something nicely 😉

Love the video and best of luck to you with setting it all up, and all of the minutia’ goes with it lol. As far as the background - I would say it’s a hard NO re HSW. I love HSW; and have recently printed 30 tiles and connectors etc. I, say “no” because: it would be too busy to look at, and primarily - it’s your brand, and not one of/for HSW (unless you collab’d/created it etc. If you really do want to have HSW as the background; maybe a neutral color/blends w/paint a little/then color’d connectors etc; then I’d suggest having your brand off-centered/over your shoulder or a bit high up so viewers can see it. Just my 2cents - good luck snd love the video’s!

"It's a working title" Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.. ;-)

Are you using a brim when making your honeycomb parts? I saw it in the one Timelapse shot (14:39)

11:22 keep the background light, if it will be too busy it will discourage people to watch your video. And get a long and wide table, it's better to have extra space

12:53 Since you already know @achappel , why not go for his 3D-printed camera arms? Seems so makerlike, and fits your business idea well, I suppose!

I think putting a wall up in front of the podcast room would be better for filament storage as it will be easier to lower the humidity

What about turning your second cubby into a green screen so that you can add any background you want in post?

As a serious maker, you'll also need a CNC or at least a Shaper Origin some day! #shapermade

Ado. Without further ado. Adieu is goodbye in French.

The main background as a massive tool wall will look very cluttered. Everything else is sweet

What about half tool wall and half green screen to display other things.

I don’t know much about Israel, but is it a good idea to publish your plans to knowingly circumvent zoning laws on youtube?

Japan have longer titles, so you're good.

Wow🤪🤑😅🤣

Can I you give me a 1 day 3d printing class, and I ll pay for it. I want to learn 3d printing.

how did the old business go??

If the previous "office" was kicked out due to zoning rules, you might want to double-check your plans with whomever governs that in your city ...

Just a heads up, as I assume a decent amount of your audience is American. "Inner City" has a much different connotation in America, so it might be a good idea to avoid the use of that term to describe this space.

i do not think you will make a lot of money to give 3d print service with prosumer 3d printers, serious 3d printer service companies do not use the same 3d printers you are used to review. you will make more money on patreon and you tube than from 3d printing services... but this is my simple thought.

The honeycomb wall seems to me a pretty bad idea for many reasons. First it is an utilitarian storage stuff which is heavy to the eye and will never look clean. Second, allow yourself to set in the background some recognizable color light set, your logo or any kind of branding showing who you are, and maybe some remarquable prints which can change and evolve from time to time. But nothing heavy because your viewers have to focus on you and what you say. So light is right. Last, that hex wall carries, IMHO, a very bad image of 3D printing. Let me explain. There's two things to avoid at any cost : useless trinkets like low poly Pikatchu or ugly gradient printed articulated dragon, AND thing which is a non sense to be 3D printed, because both are a bullet in the foot of 3D printing which deserves his true potential to be shown. The hype never last, deep truth does. Let's be honnest: the hex slat wall takes hours to be 3D printed and becomes much expensive than a basic pegboard, for what ? A Prusa look alike ? And please consider the hype around that hex wall may be outdated in a few and so will be your videos. Think long term. Think about showing the untold potential of 3D printing because it is what will put long term money in your pocket : when 3D printing is relevant to solve problems (not where inexpensive industrial solutions already exists), when 3D printing free people or open new perspectives, when home digital fabrications brings perks, when local fabrication makes sense and improves social and/or business relationships. Come on, do what others don't do. Reviewing printers is already done by every youtuber, they're all the same and you can't be always the first to review. Instead, find something not already done, like giving printers away to schools, doing inspiring workshopŝ, put a 3D printer in the hands of a young designer, a fashion creator, a garage, you name it and share what happens. You'll find something new if your try. There's so much still to do, so much untold. Think long term ;) Oh, and I forget to say that obviously filament must be stored dry, not exposed. Independently of Tel-Aviv's climate. This is less fancy but the prints are way better. Prefer cabinets (glass cabinets ?) or so.
