@Mr.Sparkle Yo bro, these are SO cool! Thank you for doing this! Iāve gotten a few of these in the mail from OGāers and plan to switch over from coin-flips & washers. Iām off in search of a 3D printer shop now! Thereās gotta be somebody on the island here doing it! Thanks again!
@Mr.Sparkle (or anybody else that knows!) Okay, full day of searching and finally found one place that āmightā print them for me! Now, since Iām looking at a ābusinessā to do this and not one of the OGāers around here, whatās a āfairā price on printing these things? Say at 25 pcs and 100 pcs. The guy sounded a bit reluctant, he actually sells the printers and doesnāt usually do printing jobs, so it may be a bit priceyā¦just would like to have some idea of what to expect.
(Iāll probably pay whatever he asks anyway! )
Thanks for any replies!
Itll depend on what material but the pucks print fast. They might charge up to or around Ā£5 an hour of printing plus material. Soooo your guess is as good as mine.
@Bob13 Thanks for that! Now you bring up a good pointā¦whatās the consensus on the ābestā material to print these with?
Depends what its used for. I stick to PLA which is pretty basic and does the job for seed pucks, its one of the most common for people to start with using with a filament printer and it might be the cheapest.
The guys sells all sorts of 3D printers & supplies, so I imagine he has all the more common materials. That graphic is helpful, though it brings up even more questions; are āstifferā ones more likely to crack under roller pressure? He offered to sell me a printer (he said he had a special running) but I declined as I have my hands full with plants right now!
Appreciate the guidance bro!
Man its a lot to go through but my PLA pucks are pretty sturdy and none have broken.
If you have been lookin at mrsparkles prints those have been made on a resin printer which the material is more expensive but the print time is probably faster but i dont know how thatll effect the price . Id suggest getting a quote from an oger and a quote from your guy in the shop. Pick what looks good to you and itll do just fine maybe not a flexi one though.
Just got a quote of about $45 for 100 pcs. Seems steep, ā¦but seeds ARE valuable!
Going for it! (Like I {and probably he} knew I would! )
I have seen worse trust me
just materials wise mine in resin are about 7-10cents a pop so that price isnāt unreasonable considering setup and basic labour.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the input! I downloaded the āearlierā versions as I didnāt want to āsign upā on ācultsā. Do any of the later ones (on cults) come with actual lids? Might have to upgrade if so! With Thailand decriminalizing recently, everybody and (literally) their Grandma is plantingā¦outdoor grows without pollen drift from neighbors are gonna be hard. Damn, if it happens, in a month Iām gonna need thousands of these things!
Thanks again for the help!
No lids reason being is if there were the added height they would be larger than the 5mm thickness once in letters for basic postage rates.
Stickers are easy to get and do the job.
Yeah i am just using the ones off thingiverse. They do the same job.
only difference is cults one has the OG logo puck aswell, iāll add it to thingeverse and should upload a smaller 5-7 cell design.
There OG logo puck has been added to the thingeverse file set
@Mr.Sparkle Thanks! Haa, haa, haa! Iād say, āI should have waitedāā¦ butā¦ first test batch of 12 has been printed. Lookās like theyāre a little āroughā, but this isnāt for government work!
I donāt want to go off-topic here in this thread, so might have to DM you directly for advice. The guy has me almost convinced to buy a 3D printer for $175! This despite the fact that I donāt really have any thoughts of what else I might ever use it for! If I find myself leaning that way, Iād like to shoot you the make & specs and see what you think. Have you got time for that? Thanks
POSTSCRIPT; Just went to āThingverseā for the first timeā¦damn thereās a lot of cool stuff you can do!
@Mr.Sparkle @Bob13 Success! Thanks for all your help OGāers!
Yeah id post the specs and make/model as some places i have heard you can get an ender 3 for 99.
They look awesome though man!
if the prices keep dropping iāll have to consider a fdm printer, mind you im guessing that for the older non upgraded base jobbies
I am interested in some pucks with lids and OG logo to ship beans please send me a link or forward information by DM
