So inspiring!!!

Thanks! Enjoyed this video.

Glad I found your videos and I am inspired! Thank you!

good on you. onwards and upwards.

I've just started! Love this video outlining your journey 😀

Amazing and inspiring video! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your journey. Congrats on your success.

Awesome story, congratulations on your success so far. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your journey Macy. 3D printing is so much fun! I enjoy learning how you do things in your setup.

Very interesting story of how you got to this point. Keep it up and you'll world famous in no time.

I‘m printing since 2016/17 and found your channel by accident. Viewed the Video with the printed Bookmarks and finally ended up binge watching your channel. 😂 Subbed!

Great to hear your story. Glad you were able to increase your revenue.

I just started designing and selling 3D prints and enjoyed listening to your story. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your story. It's such a great inspiration! I've been making all sorts of excuses not to list my creations on Etsy and you just went for it after just buying the printer, I love it! I'd love to hear about how you price your products and what kinds of margins you aim for if that's something you're open to talking about. Thanks again 🙇

Love watching your journey Macy. I'll be watching to see the rest.

very inspirational, well done Macy, keep being you x

Macy, well done! I love seeing the journey that people take getting to where they want to be. I am getting closer to retirement and given that I have been hobby printing for a few years now, and am a recently new owner of a P1P, I may decide to jump into a business model as it sees low risk for the most part. I have studies business and engineering in college at different points of my life, but the thought of running my own business has always terrified me.... so maybe as a supplemental income stream, I might give it a try. Thanks for telling your journey and keep up the great work.

Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see what you have coming next.

Started my 3d printing business back in 2015 most had no idea what 3d printing was yet. Did mostly print on demand locally and prototype design did pretty well. Then I opened a Etsy shop that does not do as well. I actually have a bit better sale on eBay then I do on Etsy not sure why. Seems you are doing a bit better than me, and I've been at this almost 10 yrs. lol. I have had some of those fears you did I have 4 day processing time I believe. I got really good and fixing 3d printers so much, so I offer that as service now as well with a lot more people getting into 3d printing.

Your awesome and this is awesome. Your inspiring to say the least!

Great channel and great job!!!

Highly recommend getting a stationary tape dispenser. Makes my shipping so much faster and don't have to keep picking up and misplacing tape gun or scissors

Great video, very encouraging. I have had Etsy, Ebay and other shops for years but haven't made profitable sales. Most 3d printers are slow but I think nothing is worse than clearing difficult and time consuming extruder/hotend jams. I'm thinking about upgrading my printers to run Klipper to speed them up. When I have profits then I can reinvest in a Bambu printer with a rapid-change hotend.

Here to say thanks. I'm on my way down a very similar journey and your content gives me hope. I appreciate you.

Great story.. it will be fun for you to look back at this video in a year and see how far you’ve come since then 😀👍

Thank you for sharing your 3D printing journey, it’s something I’m wanting to start my 3D printing business at some point not sure where I want go with it tho, I’ve got 2 Ender printers but going to Bambu P1S for multi colour prints are go, 🇦🇺👍

😅 I can relate to the unboxing… I wanted to start my channel off with a k1 max unboxing/setup. 😂 Now I’ve got about 3 hours of footage that is mostly me fumbling around with putting on the door knob (which is literally just 2 screws.) It isn’t good for anything, except maybe a blooper reel if I actually start something up. However, it was a priceless learning experience. Now I know to not underestimate how much anxiety can interfere with something really simple and that the only way to get over it is practice filming myself 🤓

Glad it worked out so well. I originally found you via your Anykubic videos

Thank you for this video. I just bought my first printer. I got an X1 Carbon combo on the Black Friday deal. My intent is much like yours was. I want to start a channel where I can print tool/workshop organization. Ive had it about 2 weeks and it hasnt stopped since. Also, I have yet to make anything related to my workshop😂. I also want to find that niche item that can supplement my income. I work from home and have my printer in my office so I can pull finished and start new prints almost at will. My unboxing footage is awful but I will likely still publish it when I finish editing (gotta start somewhere). I cant wait to see where this journey leads, but thank you for giving the inspiration!

Thanks for sharing the journey! I'm really wanting to start a 3D printing Etsy shop more focused on D&D and table top gaming items, just need to finally take the time to make the shop and list some stuff!

Bummer that the school system lost a quality teacher…but a win for us? Man, I’m learning a lot per minute on these videos because there isn’t fluff and the perma-smirk is contagious. Please don’t sell out 😉

Great video! I know your store link is on your profile, but you should consider putting your store link in your video descriptions as well, you never know who might want to buy one :)

Thanks for taking the time to share your story and I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow. Now that you've been printing consistently for a few years, do you find yourself sticking to the same filament brands for your colour options or do you try out new brands? And are there any filament brands you prefer in general? Thanks!

Thanks Macy for the "open door". Can you tell us more about how you come up with pricing? I am always interested to hear how folks come up with a fair price.

Congrats on your success and journey. Cant wait to s how next year goes. Quite a big year over year jump. Are you going to introduce more teacher related products?

Thanks for sharing Macy. How have the P1P's been for your farm? I started with the SV06 (good printer just slow, and needs tinkering), and now I have the Qidi X Plus 3. It works great, but wishing I would've gotten the P1P! X1C is too expensive to justify the cost currently. Thanks for the straightforward and honest videos, they're refreshing

Well, again thanks for the story, and your style of video is good, I really like it :) I wish you the best with all your endeavours! Btw Bambulab just released the new A1 (not mini), do you think you would go to that instead of the P1P if you had to get a new printer? Cheers :) Great job

Enjoying your videos. If you are watching your comments you may notice I am binge watching. Your thoughts about the Bambu LAp P1P vs the x1C Carbon. I currently have the x!c carbon but buying multiple x1C can get pretty pricey. Is the performance pretty equal or is there a significant difference in performance between the printers?

are there any particular videos or channels that stood out to you when you were doing your research into how to optimize your etsy business?

Hi Macy, I noticed you have been using glue on your print bed. I havent had to use glue on my bambu's yet. were your prints lifting?

Do you have your Etsy shop under an LLC now? If so can you make a video on the process or what website you used?

I've always wanted to get into 3D printing but I'm just too old and technology is not my friend. It would be a nice income offset. I was just born too early. Really looks fun though.

Great video. new subscriber here. if you don't mind sharing, what CAD program are you using?

What computer do you recommend for beginner to use?

Was there a single resource you would recommend that took your Etsy store from a hobby to business? That's what I'm struggling with really - slow growth and a conversion rate of only about 1.3%. Great video by the way :)

Does packaging take significant time? I'm surprised you're using scissors for the tape instead of a dispenser for the tape rolls.

Hey Macy. Hmm. I would love to do a follow on video (of sorts) to yours. I have an inactive KZfaq channel. I have a tiny Etsy shop selling some niche products. Well, if I am to execute on this video idea I shouldn't say too much more, just - let me know if that's not ok. eta funny about the smells during pregnancy. During one of mine, I suddenly hated blueberries to the point I would be ill. Thankful that didn't stick because I really like them and they grow locally!

I don't think you mentioned it, but I'm curious how much time the P1P cut off of the print time versus the Vyper.

What is the company that makes the filament that you use?

Idk why my comment isn't showing up, maybe it has to get approved first idk I don't comment on youtube like ever lol.. Anyways, I have an X! Carbon but ZERO designing knowledge or skill, and was wondering if you sold a license so I could sell your products on my own etsy shop by chance?

do you ever think you could of made more if your company was outside of Etsy?

Where do you get your boxes ?

The carving tool video is "private" and can't be seen :/

on some of your shots, it looks like you're using very high infill, and grid... why? Do you specifically want the extra weight? Otherwise, I'd print that kind of thing at like 7-10% gyroid, and add weights or sand instead of using all that filament... but maybe you have your reasons?

You kids will never understand the struggle of 3d printing in the early days of the RepRap project.
