Well, I bit the bullet and am jumping into the 3D printing world. I ordered a P2S combo. It should be delivered tomorrow.
Solid choice, should perform very well!

You know what’s interesting, looking at all the equipment and people it takes to make the filament ...
A little mental math … cost me $10 for a 1 kg roll. That’s about $10 for 1,000 ft of filament … or 1 cent/ ft. Delivered to my door. That includes raw material, labor, equipment depreciation or acquisition cost, shipping, and profit.

It's a wild thought process when you get into a global market. the massive ships really bring down the cost to move tonnage long distances. thus making it viable.
the extruder machines you see there run about 29,000USD roughly. support dryers a couple grand each. batch mixers, etc.

I need more details before I'm in
I appreciate the education you are giving us on how filament is made and on your print lab. Cool to see it grow.

Thinking of getting a printer to make some small parts for the bikes that are unobtanium, and some jigs for rebuilding speakers. I'm sure there are other things in the future that could justify the expense, and space.

They are wonderful for that sort of thing. My most recent print was a template for marking drywall to cut openings for a single gang old work electrical box. I had about six I had to do to help out an in-law.

I've been using mine for wood and metalworking jigs, custom organization, and random other bits as I need them. Definitely do not regret the purchase, and I use it more than I thought I would.

Is this a line that you're bringing to the states? Or just the line that produces Schoolhouse's filament?
its our top contender to bring to the US.

I'm sure you know what you are doing, but I would not want to offer a kit for something like that.

Is there a way for you to sell the files so we can print them ourselves without someone "stealing" your work to sell them? I'd be interested in purchasing the files to print one myself.
Do you have a thread about your 3D printing adventure somewhere? Or just the posts in multiple threads? I've seen your shop thread and this thread but think a story of how you started and got to now would be a great read.
still preproduction. we offer buying stls from the shop.
but for now:
not a single thread really.

I ride the short bus when it comes to a lot of computer stuff so forgive me. It's going to be an interesting struggle for me with the file side of things when my printer gets here. But I clicked on your link and it downloaded a file and then asked me what I wanted to use to open it. It looked like a web address to me so I tried typing it in search bar and it downloaded something again. What do I need to use to open it? Thanks for sharing it, I'm guessing it will be the files when I figure out how to open it.
