I want to start a 3D printing side business. Doing some reading on doing dental printing, other consumer products, etc. Anyone have insight on running a side business like this? Thank you!

Most people that set up 3D printing businesses have a printer farm of sorts that they run. You need to find a niche that you’re interested in trying to capture and then find a way to connect to those consumers and offer your product.

Printing can be quite a lot of manual work. If you have no experience, expect a lot of failed prints especially if they are complicated. That will probably hurt your return for a while and ability to produce on time

Is there a clear advantage in buying the most advanced printers I can afford? Will that directly help me succeed with good print quality? Or is it irrespective of printer quality, and more an experience thing?

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Have final round interviews at BCG tomorrow. I'm at S& right now at the SA level. Father had a sudden health issue come up this week and it's got me off my game. I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?
