Hi everyone, Just sharing a situation I got myself into recently and how other people would handle this particular scenario differently? I reached out to a company as I felt I could print some company-themed merchandise (did a few prototypes and had some great feedback). The only issue was that this company had a conference event and requested 200 of this product but with a hard deadline of 1 week. I did the maths, scaled down the model as much as I could but there was no way I could’ve possible done 100 of these prints in 1 week, even 50 was going to be a stretch. I worked out the profits and even considered buying more printers but I would’ve made no profit doing this and just didn’t have the liquidity at the time, so in the end I had to turn down my first big order simply because I didn’t have the capacity to print so many. I have since bought another H2C and an A1 to give me more capacity, just wondering would any of you do something else in this situation?

Looking for fulfillment partners outside of Germany. 🌍 I regularly receive orders from customers in other countries where shipping from Germany is slow or expensive. Instead of turning those orders away I want to work with people in the community who can handle fulfillment locally. What this means: you print and ship my products to customers in your country. I send you the files, specs and quality standards. You handle production and shipping locally. One important detail: I use ironing on most of my products for a clean smooth surface finish. I need to know if your setup supports this reliably before we move forward. If you are interested drop a comment with: 🏳️ Your country 🖨️ Your printer setup ✅ Does your slicer and printer support ironing reliably? Yes or No 📦 Do you have experience fulfilling orders and shipping to customers 🚀 VIP / Premium members get priority but everyone can apply. Let's build something global together. 👇🏼

The support doesn't know anymore and my customer order has been standing for 3 days. 😢 I have set the printer to factory settings in the meantime and tried and did everything, I suddenly can't get a clean result anymore. Suddenly in the night only unclean prints came from the bed and I cant find the problem with the support. Never changed something… Furthermore, I noticed a strange squeak but I just can't identify if that's related to it? - I don't know... I'm just frustrated and the printer has been standing for 3 days now 😢 PS: Yes Dat is gülle is German and mean „This is bullshit…“ and I was really frustrated 😅🫣 — feels desperate.

Hi everyone! I’ve been treating this group more like a forum and didn’t really check out the classroom page at first. I already had solid demand for my 3D printing product and was making good profit even though I only started about a month ago. But I recently went through the classroom, and there’s actually a lot of valuable stuff in there. If you’re running a business, I definitely recommend checking it out – there are plenty of useful tips, even if you already have some experience. Thanks to Nils for putting all of this together. I’d love to see more advanced lessons too – you’ve got a lot of knowledge to share.

Where do you guys get your shipping boxes from? Whats the cheapest?
