This is kind of a very niche topic that is relevant only to printer farms and it's the fact that there is not a printer made for 3d printer farms.
A lot of people are going to argue with that statement, the reason for that is because there are lots of printer farms around. The Prusa printer farm itself is made up of Prusa printers producing those parts, but they're not made for that. there has not been a machine expressly and intentionally created and brought to market that was focused on the 3d printer farm industry. Creality made the belt machines which are still very low-scale high maintenance machines. Prusa has their machines which again are used in print farms because of their reliability but they're not the correct type of machine for that. There are a number of different options that have been tried out by Stratasys and others alike. But the print farm model has not been pursued and invested in or considered a market segment for many many years and currently still isn't. Even though there's been a few products kind of announced that are focused on print farms, they haven't come to market yet. At Slant 3D, when we built our printer farm we expressly had to design and manufacture printers for our facility. This is because there was nothing out there optimized for print farms. There were no machines that had the automation capabilities, the ejection capabilities, or the reliability and ease of maintenance that was necessary to be used in a print farm. Everyone else who is building a print farm currently buys something off the shelf and puts up 100 of them or puts up 10 of them or whatever the number is and that's fine except for the fact that it doesn't work. The manufacturer is designing these machines for a consumer who might get bored in 24 months and needs a new machine or a consumer who needs to come back and buy another machine in 24 months so it will just break down because it's low cost. A print farm needs exceptionally easy maintenance of the machines so you cannot have the user-friendly features that make a machine easy for a general consumer to use but impossible to maintain because a chip that you don't want somebody to touch or beat on is going to be buried in the back but then professional users can't get at it. It will have certain reliability issues where it just burns out after a while because it doesn't have a premium component in that area because it's just a low-cost machine. There hasn't been a meshing of the needs of the printer farm industry segment with the needs and the demands of the printer manufacturers. printer manufacturers make a machine for a person, they don't make fleets of machines for a company. That's never been a market segment or a goal for them. This continues to be the case that there is still not a printer on the market that is reliably utilized for 3d printer farms. Yes, you can say there are printers out there that are used that are best practices right now but that doesn't mean they're good. They weren't designed for print farms. People are using them for brick farms, they're duct taping it and that is not a solution. It's certainly not a good solution. 3d printer manufacturers need to start to consider this because as the printing scale grows, print farms will continue to expand and be a component of the industry for mass production of 3d printed parts. The companies working on print farms cannot continue to jerry-rig machines into their systems. Many of them will go the same direction that we did which is just to create a machine from scratch so that we had control of our product roadmap and we're able to engineer it specifically for our needs as a mass producer of 3d printed parts. That's the situation we'll see how the industry goes there's a huge amount of money to be made in selling individual 3d printers. The industry will continue to mature and the need for 3d printer farm printers will continue to grow so it's something to think about. Let me know down in the comments of printer farms that you know about or good machines that you found for print farms in case somebody's trying to build one. Let us know what you think of the videos or other topics that you'd like to see. Have a great day everybody and happy printing!

Great read! I do agree with you that there is no 3D printer yet that is made for 3D printer farms. I think that there's still no machine yet capable that is as easy and reliable to use in a printer farm. Do you think though that soon enough they will be able to make one?
