Behind the Scenes: Compass Rose gets a Win.
Added 2024-09-23 11:00:09 +0000 UTCJust a quick look at 3D printing and how we finally worked out the bugs to start production. It's a whole new world for me, and I hope you enjoy getting a look.

Woot!

2024-09-28 13:16:15 +0000 UTCMaybe it is my vise it is 21 and 3/4 inches long it is not a moxon vise. The right handed version over hangs on the out side of the bench when using it.

2024-09-26 16:36:30 +0000 UTCYou could, but the part that rests on the bench would hang over the front of the vise.

2024-09-26 11:35:04 +0000 UTCCongrats with this win. Better start printing now, or you won't be ready for Christmas...

2024-09-25 12:11:50 +0000 UTCWhat's the difference? I think you can just flip it the other way. Or am I missing something here?

2024-09-25 12:10:09 +0000 UTCHay Rex looks 😍. Will you be able to make a left-handed version????
Dan Delie
2024-09-25 01:40:48 +0000 UTCFair point... I have no idea what their rates are. I imagine their target market is people who want to "set it and forget it" and just let the print-on-demand stuff handle itself.

2024-09-24 16:49:48 +0000 UTCLooks like a project I'd rather have plans for to make my own from wood. I dont support your channel to buy stuff, I want to make it
David Niebergall
2024-09-24 13:23:46 +0000 UTCCongrats on honing your prints! Sounds like a lot of sweat went into it. Here's to hoping it'll be a hit for compass rose tools!

2024-09-24 11:56:14 +0000 UTCUgh. Brutal.
Sean McGown
2024-09-24 11:55:39 +0000 UTCThank you!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:08:44 +0000 UTCYou can say that again! This has been a trial.
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:04:24 +0000 UTCYou're very kind. The hard part was dumpstering a 3kg spool of off brand PETG when we realized that it wouldn't print, no matter what. Money in the trash!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:04:03 +0000 UTCEvery time we get a quote, the price is too high for us to hit our retail price targets. Besides, once we own the farm, we can make all kinds of stuff.
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:03:05 +0000 UTCIt's a real shock when you're new to it (I am.) I never would have gotten into this without Lucas and his expertise.
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:02:12 +0000 UTCYeah, we just couldn't swallow the cost of the mold. This makes much more sense.
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:01:36 +0000 UTCThat's a hilarious gift!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:01:10 +0000 UTCThat's so nice to hear! Thank you!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:00:48 +0000 UTCWe're looking forward to bringing you more!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:00:33 +0000 UTCBambu is a game-changer. It does this print in a QUARTER the time of previous generation printers. PETG is a real challenge. It's hydroscopic and needs drying a careful handling, but once Lucas got it dialed in, the finished product is impact resistant, stiff and resistant to most solvents. It's sturdy!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 11:00:07 +0000 UTCMe too! Producing this ourselves has been difficult.
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 10:58:16 +0000 UTCThank you!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 10:57:42 +0000 UTCThanks for watching!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 10:57:33 +0000 UTCIt's going to look a lot like it does now....but more machines!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 10:57:25 +0000 UTCThank you!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 10:57:07 +0000 UTCGlad you think so!
Rex Krueger
2024-09-24 10:57:03 +0000 UTCNice, that's very cool.
Dave West
2024-09-24 01:18:29 +0000 UTCThat's awesome, Rex.
Jennessa Lynam
2024-09-24 00:25:47 +0000 UTCWay cool, Rex and crew. Can't wait to see the "manufacturing facility" when you have it set up. Have a wonderful week.
Matt Evans-Koch
2024-09-23 23:55:00 +0000 UTCLove! And Thanks for sharing!
Jon Linna
2024-09-23 23:20:08 +0000 UTCCongrats, Rex!!
Russell Gough
2024-09-23 19:28:42 +0000 UTCI’m excited to hear your back up and running
Wayne Miller
2024-09-23 18:49:07 +0000 UTCThe color contrast is amazing! Bambu is really ahead of all other printers it's quite amazing. How's the PETG holding? I'm guessing you've been dogfooding it for a while now.

2024-09-23 18:14:53 +0000 UTCSuper! Happy to see your success and look forward to more in the future!

2024-09-23 17:26:38 +0000 UTCI am so enjoying this topic! It’s fun and educational: everything YouTube should be. Thank you.
Dean Wight
2024-09-23 15:15:08 +0000 UTCI’m glad the you achieved an economical cycle time. My son printed twenty T Rex heads as wedding gifts and each took over a day to print plus cleanup time. But they were a hit with the guests.
Richard C von Brecht
2024-09-23 15:02:43 +0000 UTCThe Bambu P1S printer is a beast! I have the original Bambu X1 and it is an amazing machine. Prints certainly can take a while, but they can be printed "on demand" without needing to do larger runs of injection molds.
Kyle B. Johnson
2024-09-23 14:40:28 +0000 UTCIt's good to get these behind the scenes looks at print-on-demand production. As someone with little to no experience, I had no idea how long it takes. 4 hours per unit!
John Laudun
2024-09-23 13:49:42 +0000 UTCLooks amazing! Have you considered a print farm like Slant 3D? They might save you from having to run your own print farm.
Alan Berman
2024-09-23 13:35:31 +0000 UTCGreat work! I imagine that the patience required is double that of the technical expertise required to do all the experimentation. Your persistence in the face of all these fronts you've opened combined with the non-channel challenges is impressive.
Sean McGown
2024-09-23 12:22:51 +0000 UTCCongratulations!! Development is always difficult, but it looks great!
Marco P. Lascari
