How many prints to hubs get on average per day or hour?

Hey George,

Do you mean, how many new jobs do we get, on average, or how many prints are we able to do, on average?

Cheers!

How many jobs on average mate. I’m guessing it varies but just a average.

Thanks

OK. Well, let’s just say it’s early days. Different countries are at different stages in the development of the concept. I’d say the U.S. is probably leading there, possibly with The Netherlands and Italy up there too. London’s pretty healthy but I wouldn’t expect that more than 5% of hubs have managed to recoup their outlay on their printer and, quite possibly none at all. I’ve subcontracted far more value than I’ve actually printed myself but let’s conservatively say one job per week. Some jobs can take a matter of hours and some take weeks though.

Hope this info helps you.

cheers!

Ok thanks mate

I was expecting about one a week but just curious. I have only just joined and think I need to make my hub look more professional and get some reviews. I mainly joined just to help out with filament cost and the fact that my printer is mostly idle.

Thabks mate for the help.

Much appreciated

No probs, @georgeh1ll. Good luck with the hub! Don’t forget to print a Marvin!

Cheers!

I wished I’ve got more orders for my printers, but it is as it is.

Hopely I’ve got more when I put more printers online

Best, René

In my experience giving yourself a profile picture, some good photos on the hub page to work as a portfolio for potential customers and repeat custom in many cases. A good way is also to become active on social media to get your name out there and tweet 3d hubs they will happily give you some lime light via retweets etc…

Year late but I suggest offering shipping , and keep start up cost low, charge extra few $ 2-3 than your cost for s&h, will cover a miss quote and packing time and cost , I have my 1st month start up fee of $1 and .1 as filament charge to get some reviews, tryingn to get a base of customers, plan on raising to $2-3 start up fee and .2-.4 filament charge, as we speak with 1&.1 I barely cover my cost of filament
