Could have sworn you said you were retired at some point, look pretty busy to me, amazing what you have done, great content. Keep it up Pat

Thanks, will do! I still say I'm retired. So far, I've spent everything I've made on keeping up with growth. It's still a very small business, but I started with nothing and no funding, so it's truly been "bootstrapped".

I would recommend some good smoke detectors. I would also install some sheet rock over the exposed insulation and wood studs. I imagine a print farm has a higher risk of fire than most uses in a basement.

I appreciate the input. I do have two smoke & heat detectors in the area. They also alarm through the whole house and shop if they're set off.

Great video. I like to see videos like this of people starting out with small print farms in their basements or garages. Question I have for you what are you doing about the noise level? I just got my 1st P1S and I was amazed at how loud these printers are. I can only imagine how loud having 12 of them would be.

For me, it's not a big deal. They're a floor below where I spend all of my time. You can year them from the room that shares a wall though. That said, there's no drywall on one side of that wall, and I'm sure installing it would dampen sound a bit. That wall also happens to be a staggered wall, and it's insulated since it was originally going to be a theater.

What is your go-to filament for the P1S?

by the way, it was this video along with the Bambu printer sale that prompted me to buy a P1S.

Thanks for a very informative video :) May I ask what plate you use and why?

@UglyDogWoodshop Ай бұрын

I use the textured PEI plate. I was using before Bambu started shipping or standard. I like the convenience of it working with all materials I print. I also dislike the texture from plate plates because it seems to show more of the slight imperfections in the surface of the plate. The texture of the PEI plate is minimal, so it blends in ok while hiding minor imperfections in its surface.
