Looking forward to your post. Things are sure getting exciting around here.

They sure are! Right now I haven't yet gotten to those two new printers as I am still cleaning up my den.

I started by labeling the cereal dry boxes using the erasable labels that came with the containers.

I realized that this is more important that I expected, since many of the spools have been recycled. The spools are labeled for PLA Basic, PLA Matte, PETG, etc. They don't list the colors. However, when I put refill spools on them, I don't necessarily remember what filament type is in there! So the labels help.

I also moved the unopened boxes onto the shelves as well, so I can see at a glance, which filaments I have in stock.

Finally, the den also has many storage shelves that were original bins and boxes. I have been putting labels on all the storage drawers, bins and boxes today. This will continue tomorrow before I can get to the printers.

Nice, I like that rail shelving system. That may do the job for my filament.

Of course, I had to rearrange after I realized I had more filament in another room! LOL

How long are those shelves? The look like they're about six feet.

Also, when I told Marilyn about the two A1 printers, and the two new printers, she asked what you do with all of that printing capability. I have to admit that I don't know. All that I've seen, so far, has been a few decorations for your house and some sports signs/memorabilia stuff. Are you in this for profit making?

I am using 4'x10" deep shelves. As you can see, the shelf holds 11 of 12 cereal boxes.

The original A1 printers were my entry into the Bambu Lab stuff to test the feasibility of using them for projects. Along the way, you're right, I have made a bunch of personal projects (presents) for family. I sold an A1 originally and bought the P1S to see if it improved an issue I was having with humidity. An issue I originally I tried to solve with a dehumidifier.

Since there was an improvement, and my eventual goals were to make commercial prints as well as print stuff for projects, I made the investment into two of the P2S printers (Now you know what those two are), in the wake of the sale. I will most likely donate the A1 and use the P1S in the den for personal projects. The two P2S printers are destined to be used for commercial stuff and projects for magazine articles, of which I have been preparing to do once again.

Thanks, I'm thinking that the six foot shelves will do better for my room.

I see, what commercial prints will you be doing? I need to start increasing my income - I'm getting worried about what happens to Marilyn when I die. Hopefully, I can get a nice piece of property fully paid off (or with mortgage life insurance,) so that she can have that, at least.

See PM.

I've bee planning for some time to make prints for stuff I plan on selling. Much of it is posted on the main website, but in draft form, pending having the details / photos / videos available, at which time they will go live and more things will appear in the "shop".

Keep me in mind if you want/need to outsource for additional printing capability.
