    I'm an efficiency expert. One thing you can do to increase uptime on your machines is to have two sets of plates. The moment you pull a plate off one of the machines, put in a blank one and restart the next print, move onto the next machine, and repeat. At the end, when you've restarted as many machines as possible, THEN you pull the finished prints off the plates you just removed (and wipe down the plates). This will save you a few seconds per machine, but over the aggregate, your "uptime" (amount of time the printer is actually doing work) will increase substantially. This is called Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED). The idea is that you limit the amount of time a machine is idle as much as possible.

      It’s a great idea and would save time…however, the minor changes in plate thickness means that I’d have to then change the offset in the printer as well. So it would kind of end in a wash I think. The time it takes to remove parts and replace the sheet is about 20 seconds

      @@ShopNation With as many printers as you have (and will have) would it be possible to find matched pairs of build plates for the machines that are close enough in thickness? I know that initial z height is important for first layer, but presumably there are pairs of plates that are close enough to not need a change when swapping?

    You can fit more in the space if you take a tip from libraries, instead of just putting against the wall, have racking come out perpendicular from the wall and completely remove the racking parallel with the wall. If you 3d model it out you can see the difference. I found this out when doing storage design to maximize some garage space. Also you could build some cheap enclosures by cladding the racking with some 4x8 sheets of something and then hook up some air purification or venting. NICE job though taking the steps to get to where you are! Love seeing the electric put in proper. :)

  • @XeroShifter
    @XeroShifter Před rokem +2

    As the owner of an Ender 6 I feel that last comment pretty hard. Its a great printer (once you replace the cooling fan), but there is a lot of work to do to them before they're farm ready. The top end for my 6's performance is miles ahead of anything Prusa has to offer (assuming you get to spend the initial investment difference on fixes for the 6), but when you have to do 30+ printers it can be quite the chore to update the firmware to Klipper, print new fan ducts, replace fans, replace the x-bar, extruder, and hot end, as well as replacing the build plate with magnetic PEI, and add a bed leveling probe. Not expensive really (about $260-$300 in aftermarket stuff), just time consuming first time around. Still, printing at nearly 1 meter per second of real filament extrusion at the same quality as a stock prusa reliably is a huge increase in printer capacity.
    If any hobbiest is looking for a half decent core xy platform the 6 is pretty good though. The machine says its $560 or so but you can get them for $430 pretty easily, and assuming you're good willing to spend $3 on blower fans and use the included filament sample to print a new fan duct you're in business with a decent machine pretty much right away. And as previously mentioned if you want to upgrade it over time you can find guides in a few places and with very little modification you can use stuff made for some of the best printers out there (Voron 2.4, HevORT, VZbot).

    Great video! Glad to see your progress as a maker. As an engineer myself, I appreciate your thought process and have learnt quite a few things from your shop build videos (especially the organization series). So thanks again!
    Also, since you asked for thoughts and feedback
    1) Curious if you plan on additional ventilation to get the VOCs from all those printers? Perhaps the existing HVAC ventilation might be adequate but I wonder if you might be considering one of those (smart?) air quality measurement units for this space to help determine if that might be necessary in the long term. We certainly needed one for the smart lab I built for my employer (I used an Ultimaker 3 in the hardware room of this lab for prototyping and printing custom parts much the same way as you are doing and the air quality during prints in the hardware room definitely went south) The air quality scientist on our staff helped understand the risks of working in an environment with such high VOCs and thanks to some of the skills I learnt from your videos, we built a ducting solution to tie into the building's HVAC / return system.
    2) Second thing about the print farm - what about noise levels when all the printers are cranking away? Have you considered any type of additional insulation (could be simple 'picture frame' type insulation that you put on the drop ceiling and walls of the room)? I am guessing closing the door might cut down the sound significantly and you could just wear some noise cancelling headphones when you enter the room (especially if you are the only "employee" working in there), but just thought I'd share my experience building out my own smart lab.
    3) Finally - some feedback. After watching your video where you installed the Barrina lights in your old garage, I immediately ordered their 8-pack of lights for my own garage. These worked awesome....until they didn't. Exactly one month after the warranty expired, the lights started to flicker, dim and ultimately stopped working. And these were NOT running more than few hours (max 3 to 4hrs, more like 1hr average) per day Eventually, last fall, with 4 random bulbs not working in the garage (creating the uneven lighting situation in the garage), I got sick of the uneven lighting and took those down. I even reached out to the manufacturer but got no response which led me to leave a review accordingly on their product. Obviously these lights are popular and the manufacturer probably doesnt care of my negative feedback. And initially, when the first bulb went out, I was willing to notch it up to "acceptable failure rates" but when multiple started failing within days of each other and I got no response from manufacturer, I stopped using them in my garage. I knew you had already moved out of your old place so you wouldnt necessarily know how those lights were doing over there for long term usage but I would be curious to learn how these turn out in your print farm after couple years.
    Boy this turned out longer "youtube comment" than I anticipated. But keep up the great work and I look forward to more cool stuff on your channel. 👍

    Awesome! One thing I haven't seen you mention yet was environmental monitoring, i.e. Temp and Humidity. I'm not sure how sensitive those printers are to changes and it sounds like you have them running when you are absent. There are tons of products out there that can send you alerts when things get outside of your parameters. I currently use the SensorPush line since it ties into my Homeseer system and can run some automation routines for me. Depending on the alarm system you either have or may go with, there may be options there as well.
    Another suggestion would be to make sure that ALL of your networking equipment is set up on a battery backup that would be large enough to run it for several hours and to make sure your "NVR" box (the brain for your cameras) is also on it. That way, if the power was out (whether by a storm or someone who wanted to see how much those printers were worth at the pawn shop), you would be recording full time and you would also be able to use your camera app to view what's going on. Even with a generator, having all that equipment on a backup would stop it from power cycling while the generator was powering up.
    Funny thing, I was just wondering how the backyard project was coming along and wondering when you would post another video. Guess you read my mind. Thanks as always and enjoyed the update.

    Just found your channel. Great stuff.
    I'm from an IT and project management background. I would suggest separating your power from the print shelves as you grow. That would also allow you to put more printers easily on a shelf (yes, I realize 3 look great on camera). Move to a power distribution system with centralized redundant rack-mounted UPS units, preferable 240V, which could also house a print farm server. It may seem like a lot of money, but simplified administration, efficiency gains, reduced downtime due to failures, and reduced overall replacement costs will be worth it in a shorter time frame than you would expect. On another note, you could easily use cameras with some basic machine imaging to determine some failures, as well as when they stop. Drop a line if you want some ideas.

    You need a Bambu x1 carbon for any parts you want to print with, well, carbon. It is designed for higher tech filaments, like fiber carbon filaments. You would probably end up replacing your entire fleet with them eventually. I wouldn’t though. I would still do PLA or other open-air blends where it makes sense & use other filaments that benefit from enclosures where they make sense. If you aren’t using them yet, you might not need them yet. Carbon filaments are not “black aluminum” no matter what anyone says, though you might find uses for them. The nice thing is that they print very quickly. You can get work done with them in 1/4 to 1/3 the time an MK3S+ can do the same print. You are already looking into everything I just said - the only issue I would worry about as an enterprise like yourself is that Bambu is proprietary. They have excellent pricing on parts, however, in the event they ever go out of business, you have to find an alternative.

    Idea for your filament. feed them through tubing (1/4 RO line would work nicely for that) from your storage self to the printers would make monitoring and changing the rolls easier.

    Lokks nice man! Congrats and success! I have an Ender, no issues so far, but I don't have a farm, so, not comparable to your experience, if I need another one I want to try a prusa

    Add bars to the windows, high decibel sirens inside/outside your location with flashing lights, non-water fire suppression (?), positive (if possible) air pressure for the print farm room? Also dust collection.
    It’s gonna cost, but have your insurance agent come out & inspect the setup.

    What do you do to keep your filament dry? Humidity can wreak havoc on it. You could design a custom dehumidifier cabinet like ILTMS did on their channel perhaps. Would be a good video to see how someone designs that at scale for a business.

    You could put more shelving perpendicular to the walls instead of along them, so that you can get quite a bit more units in if that day should come.

    Nice video. I would like to see more information your process of getting all the printers starting printing. Is each machine dedicated to only printing one thing kind of thing. Once a print is finished the bed is cleared then same print is restarted. Are they network controlled or do you have start each one manually. Are they equipped with some of filament run out sensor

    I print production parts seasonally with my ender 3. Out of the box they are not fit for a farm, but with modifications such as a dual leadscrew and a completely new print head and mainboard, mine has been exceptionally reliable for less than half the cost of a Prusa. It's still a option for a farm, but not if you need to rebuild more than 3 or so machines due to the time involved.

    It'd be interesting to learn how you approach maintenance on your print farm. How often is a machine down, and do you do preventive maintenance or wait until something needs fixing. Cheers!

    Just a thought, maybe put a strip of foam in between each board to help with any potential shifting of the boards so they won't rub against each other. May not be necessary at all, just a thought I had.

  • @btigenie

    Do you use a SD card or usb drive for each printer that has all the print files on them? Is there a way to network them or connect them to WiFi or maybe use something like Octoprint to better manage them?

    One think I've noted about those Cyber Power UPS is that their battery is good for about a bit over a year before they'll either see a drastic reduction of charge or not hold charge anymore. I've gone through 3 of the 1500VA in the past few years.

    Print idea.....dust collection hardware set? connectors, adapters, blast gates, things like that and sell them individually or as a kit. I am currently shopping for how to set up a very simple dust collection for my new table saw and maybe one auxiliary hose. It would be cool to buy the materials from a small business such as yourself.
