3D Printer build efficiency recommendations
* z-side bottom frame holes 1/4 inch higher - so axis can easily be fitted when printer is sitting flat on table
* build agnostic axes, attach to frame, then finish - so you only do it once
* belt tighten after attach to frame - so you only do it once

200 kilowatts per activity is the point at which "industry" scale is reached.
I.e; 100 kilowatt tractor would be "homestead" scale, 200 kilowatt is industrial scale -- with industrial efficiency.
Solar panels are less than $0.5/watt. So 100 kilowatt will cost $50,000 one time investment.

Using 30 acres of land to achieve all that modern technology offers
Basically, 4 major types of materials: Biomass, metals, ceramics, plastic
Modern tech refined from raw versions of these
Electricity is very flexible in facilitating the refining of these materials
You can smelt iron ore with electricity
Any process that requires heat, can be powered with electricity
Energy is the ability to convert any material into a more refined material
Most modern compounds are aluminum or steel based
Thus the induction furnace + metal roller - to convert scrap into reusable metals
Make tubing, rods, or wire
Industry evolved from wood -> steel (metals) -> information
Metal: electrons move but the nucleus is stable

Sales calls: SPIN selling

[http://www.pardavimuformule.lt/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Spin-Selling.pdf by Neil Rackham (PDF)]

(Well suited for B2B sales)
For success, the person you are talking to should be talking 80% of the time.
Establish your expertise along with a sense of trust/mutual understanding. So that objections can be brought up and addressed (or even better: address the objections before they come up, if you have this level of insight).
More likely than not, what you are selling is not their #1 priority. So you have to do some work to convince them.
Ask questions; like, what does it mean for their organization if you address their need? Get them thinking about it. (i.e; What do you think about making your own tools rather than purchasing tools that already exist?)
Treat them as the expert on what they need, then communicate how you can address their needs.
If our service does not actually address their need, we can pivot our service to match it or pick up the relationship somewhere down the line.

Ferdi: the quality of educations is the greatest security for 3D printing longevity. Even the "best", most expensive printer will fail if not operated properly. Train the trainers.
Ferdi: noticed through personal experience that 3D printers are region-specific. So maybe focus more on the knowledge around 3D printers rather than the printers themselves. "We teach our students how to build machines."

Developer Test Work Log

{{YoutubePopup|UWhZ_YS_Y-8}}

[[Media:Sara-bajor-xyz-cube-bolt-initials.fcstd]]

Installing Linux USB: .5 hours
Learning FreeCAD: 15 hours
Documentation: 1 hour

Learning FreeCAD was definitely the most difficult task. The 15 hours learning FreeCAD enabled me to complete the XYZ cube in about 42 minutes. It took me a while to figure out how to align the pipes perpendicular and parallel to each other within the xyz plane. I watched the 2 tutorial videos provided but had to frequently reference the [[Old_FreeCAD_Tests]] to fully understand how to accomplish the task. I did not use any other outside tutorials.

I believe I built the XYZ cube in a "brute force" fashion and that a more efficient and elegant solution was possible. At some point while adding the fastener to my cube, some of the pipes came out of position, so I give myself 85% for this attempt.

The Build Certification follows the completion of the OSE [[Kit Certification]] in an individual's pursuit of establishing an OSE-recognized Distributed Enterprise for the D3D Printer. It can also be achieved on its own without intention of establishing a Distributed Enterprise.

=Relationship of Build Certification to Kit Certification and Distributed Enterprise=
An individual may pursue Build Certification in conjunction with, or separate from, [[Kit Certification]]. While attaining [[Kit Certification]] allows an individual to produce and distribute OSE-recognized Kits, the Build Certification grants additional allowance for an individual to provide customer support to those who have purchased Kits. For those seeking to begin a Distributed Enterprise the Kit Certification, Build Certification and Operations Certification must all be attained and maintained for the duration of the time the individual has the Distributed Enterprise.

One who has achieved these certifications are referred to as follows, respectively for each level of certification:
* Certified Kit Producer
* Certified Builder
* Certified Distributed Enterprise Holder
'''SUGGESTION: increasing profit margins at each level of certification'''

=OSE vs Independent vs Certified Producer=

There are 5 relationships relevant to the question of certification. Certification provides a verified mark of quality endorsed by OSE according to clearly measurable criteria. The 5 scenarios are:

#'''OSE-Certified Producer''' - the producer works with OSE under the OSE brand and under a Licensing Agreement. Producer is required to pass certification. Specific terms are negotiated. This relationship is known as a Licensing Agreement. An OSE producer is required to provide customer support, for which Kit Producer and Builder Certification is required.
#'''Independent Producer''' - If a producer would like to establish an enterprise independent of OSE - they are welcome to do so and do not require OSE permission. This is because the OSE designs are open source. However, the producer cannot use the OSE brand to distinguish their product. OSE's 3D printer then functions as a freely-available, white-label product - and any machines produced in this manner are known as clones. There are no stipulations from OSE how an independent producer runs their business.
#'''Independent, Certified Producer''' - If a producer would like to work under their own, OSE-independent brand - they are welcome to do so as well. In this case, the Producer pays for the Certification (around $1200, which includes one OSE 3D printer which is submitted to OSE and kept by OSE for lifetime testing). Certification is valid for 2 years. The producer submits a one-time fee, sets their own price structure for the 3D printer, and keeps all the profits. The producer in this case can use the OSE-Certified label on their product (like a certification mark), but cannot use the OSE brand for marketing purposes. Certified producers are featured on the OSE website, keep serial numbers of machines produced, and must provide customer records so that customers can be contacted for reviewing the product. If reviews turn negative, OSE will investigate quality control issue and may terminate the certification if quality is inadequate. Certified producers will be invited to an annual conference.
#'''Reseller''' - other enterprises which have marketing capacity may arrange a reseller relationship. In this case, OSE is the producer. Other duties and responsibilities depend on the specific situation.
#'''Contract Manufacturer''' - a relationship may be set up with third parties for producing the product. This is not particularly consistent with local production, but may be considered in some cases.
#'''Independent, Certified, OSE Producer''' - this does not exist - one cannot be independent and work for OSE at the same time.

=Prerequisites=
The major checkpoint for achieving Build Certification is the ability to reliably assemble a 3D Printer from a Kit within 6 hours. In order to achieve the 6-hour build time, it is recommended an individual practice the following procedures until mastery of each is attained. A successful build will not be completed within 6 hours if many mistakes are made that require going back and repeating steps. It is recommended that Build Certification only be attempted after an individual is confident the following can be achieved comfortably:

* Access to a 5x5' workspace with electric power outlet for 8 hours
* Ability to use OpenCamera on a smartphone - demonstrated by creating a timelapse with the picture rate set to 10 second intervals and compiled using the instructions here: [[https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OpenCamera#D3D_Certification_Command Open Camera]])
* Ability to use JB Kwik Weld effectively so that frame can be assembled securely
* Assembly of the Y-left axis within 9 minutes
* Knowledge of how the Y-right axis differs from the Y-left axis
* Knowledge of how the X-axis differs from the other axes
* Assembly of the Extruder within 25 minutes
* Mounting an axis to the frame within 6 minutes
* Mounting the power supply to the control panel board with zipties within 5 minutes
* Assembling 5 cable chain links together within 30 seconds
* Identifying all cables and where they attach to the RAMPS and/or power supply without referencing documentation
* Working knowledge of the [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LRL6PQtWm0LT6j6YNjLNjDAdbKkd3TmO8_aOBdfskhI/edit#slide=id.g41d674b745_0_5 Final Assembly] procedure
* Working knowledge of the function of the Z-probe and ability to adjust the Z-offset to achieve perfect first layers through the control panel LCD screen

'''TODO: Provide video documentation of the recommended procedure for achieving these time frames'''

=Requesting Certification=
After achieving mastery of the steps recommended above, an individual can request Build Certification from OSE by completing the following:
* Acquire a Kit by purchasing one from OSE '''or''' purchasing the parts independently and submitting [[Kit Certification]] for OSE approval
* Create your own copy of the presentation on [[D3D Build Certification Application]] and embed on a new page called [[Your Name D3D Build Certification]] (Requires a Wiki account; see [https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Sara_D3D_Build_Certification example])
* Email info@opensourceecology.org with a link to your Build Certification page and a written statement of your intention to pursue Build Certification. Include any comments or feedback on completing the Prerequisites.

=Certification Procedure=

'''Acquire Necessary Supplies.''' In addition to the Kit, the applicant should prepare the following supplies to complete the build:
#JB weld mixer and applicator - for building frame
#Crazy glue - for attaching cable chain and end stops
#Electrical tape - for fixing wires to frame and bundling them
#Silver sharpie or Masking Tape with Black Sharpie - for marking plugs
#0.4 mm needle - for unclogging nozzle
#Sample PLA filament for initial printing - either 1.75mm or 2.85mm
#An SD Card containing GCode for printing a Test Cube

'''Complete the Build Certification Presentation.'''
The Build Certification Presentation is the method by which the applicant submits the required materials for review by OSE. Each module of the Certification is a timed build of a component of the 3D Printer. The final module is the assembly of the printer from the parts prepared in the preceding modules. These modules should be completed one by one in the order laid out in the Build Certification Presentation. In the case where an applicant exceeds the time limit for a module, the applicant should re-build the component, until it can be completed within the time limit.

A completed Build Certification Presentation is ready for submission to OSE when the following have been included by the applicant for each module:
* Timelapse (create using free-to-download smart phone app "Open Camera", follow the [https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OpenCamera#D3D_Certification_Command Open Camera instructions here], upload to YouTube, then add to Presentation with Insert > Video > By URL)
* Completion photos
* Build time '''(applicants don't have to do this if we figure out how long each timelapse needs to be to make time limit)'''

Upon completion of the Build Certification Presentation, email info@opensourceecology.org with a link to your Build Certification page. Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted with any re-work needed to successfully obtain Certification.

=Reasonable Accommodations=
If needed, applicants are encouraged to arrange alternative Certification requirements with OSE prior to pursuing Certification. For applicants who feel they require additional time for any reason, or are unable to acquire any of the tools or supplies needed to complete Certification, please contact us at info@opensourceecology.org. Any arrangements differing from those outlined on this page must be agreed to in advance by OSE and the applicant.

=TODO: deprecate the following sections=

The Build Certification Presentation requires the following completion times:
# Frame assembly within 60 minutes
# Y-left and Z-back axis assembly within 18 minutes
# Y-right and Z-front axis assembly within 18 minutes
# X-axis assembly within 10 minutes
# Heated bed holder within 6 minutes
# Extruder assembly within 25 minutes
# Heated bed assembly within 15 minutes
# Control panel assembly within 25 minutes

'''Complete a 6-Hour Build.''' The individual will then complete the build within 7 hours (6 hours building, 1 hour break) while generating the submission materials needed to receive Certification. The Build Time shall be marked as the time from the beginning of '''frame assembly''' to the finish of a Test Cube. The quality of the Test Cube is not vital at this point, but needs to be refined until high quality is achieved for an individual to receive Certification.

'''Achieve High Quality Prints.''' After completing the build, the applicant must demonstrate the quality of their build by submitting high quality images of a Test Cube and a 3D Benchy within 3 days following their scheduled build date. As long as a submission is received by OSE within 3 days, OSE will assess the print quality and inform the applicant whether the print passes and Certification is granted. If print quality is not sufficient to grant Certification, the applicant can re-submit images every 3 days until Certification is achieved.

It is noted that if the applicant fails to achieve Certification because of a failure to submit images for consideration, the Build Certification must be restarted from the beginning. The art of refining the 3D Printer to produce prints of high quality requires knowledge and intuition, so applicants are encouraged to practice achieving high quality prints while receiving feedback from OSE until their working knowledge of the printer enables them to confidently operate the printer for the entirety of its lifetime.

* Certified Kit Producer
* Certified Builder
* Certified Distributed Enterprise Holder
'''SUGGESTION: increasing profit margins at each level of certification'''

=OSE vs Independent vs Certified Producer=

There are 5 relationships relevant to the question of certification. Certification provides a verified mark of quality endorsed by OSE according to clearly measurable criteria. The 5 scenarios are:

#'''OSE-Certified Producer''' - the producer works with OSE under the OSE brand and under a Licensing Agreement. Producer is required to pass certification. Specific terms are negotiated. This relationship is known as a Licensing Agreement. An OSE producer is required to provide customer support, for which Kit Producer and Builder Certification is required.
#'''Independent Producer''' - If a producer would like to establish an enterprise independent of OSE - they are welcome to do so and do not require OSE permission. This is because the OSE designs are open source. However, the producer cannot use the OSE brand to distinguish their product. OSE's 3D printer then functions as a freely-available, white-label product - and any machines produced in this manner are known as clones. There are no stipulations from OSE how an independent producer runs their business.
#'''Independent, Certified Producer''' - If a producer would like to work under their own, OSE-independent brand - they are welcome to do so as well. In this case, the Producer pays for the Certification (around $1200, which includes one OSE 3D printer which is submitted to OSE and kept by OSE for lifetime testing). Certification is valid for 2 years. The producer submits a one-time fee, sets their own price structure for the 3D printer, and keeps all the profits. The producer in this case can use the OSE-Certified label on their product (like a certification mark), but cannot use the OSE brand for marketing purposes. Certified producers are featured on the OSE website, keep serial numbers of machines produced, and must provide customer records so that customers can be contacted for reviewing the product. If reviews turn negative, OSE will investigate quality control issue and may terminate the certification if quality is inadequate. Certified producers will be invited to an annual conference.
#'''Reseller''' - other enterprises which have marketing capacity may arrange a reseller relationship. In this case, OSE is the producer. Other duties and responsibilities depend on the specific situation.
#'''Contract Manufacturer''' - a relationship may be set up with third parties for producing the product. This is not particularly consistent with local production, but may be considered in some cases.
#'''Independent, Certified, OSE Producer''' - this does not exist - one cannot be independent and work for OSE at the same time.

In order to achieve the 6-hour build time, it is recommended an individual practice the following procedures until mastery of each is attained. A successful build will not be completed within 6 hours if many mistakes are made that require going back and repeating steps. It is recommended that Build Certification only be attempted after an individual is confident the following can be achieved comfortably:

* Access to a 5x5' workspace with electric power outlet for 8 hours
* Ability to use OpenCamera on a smartphone - demonstrated by creating a timelapse with the picture rate set to 10 second intervals and compiled using the instructions here: [[https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OpenCamera#D3D_Certification_Command Open Camera]])
* Ability to use JB Kwik Weld effectively so that frame can be assembled securely
* Assembly of the Y-left axis within 9 minutes
* Knowledge of how the Y-right axis differs from the Y-left axis
* Knowledge of how the X-axis differs from the other axes
* Assembly of the Extruder within 25 minutes
* Mounting an axis to the frame within 6 minutes
* Mounting the power supply to the control panel board with zipties within 5 minutes
* Assembling 5 cable chain links together within 30 seconds
* Identifying all cables and where they attach to the RAMPS and/or power supply without referencing documentation
* Working knowledge of the [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LRL6PQtWm0LT6j6YNjLNjDAdbKkd3TmO8_aOBdfskhI/edit#slide=id.g41d674b745_0_5 Final Assembly] procedure
* Working knowledge of the function of the Z-probe and ability to adjust the Z-offset to achieve perfect first layers through the control panel LCD screen

'''TODO: Provide video documentation of the recommended procedure for achieving these time frames'''

=Requesting Certification=
After achieving mastery of the steps recommended above, an individual can request Build Certification from OSE by completing the following:
* Acquire a Kit by purchasing one from OSE '''or''' purchasing the parts independently and submitting [[Kit Certification]] for OSE approval
* Create your own copy of the presentation on [[D3D Build Certification Application]] and embed on a new page called [[Your Name D3D Build Certification]] (Requires a Wiki account; see [https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Sara_D3D_Build_Certification example])
* Email info@opensourceecology.org with a link to your Build Certification page and a written statement of your intention to pursue Build Certification. Include any comments or feedback on completing the Prerequisites.

=Certification Procedure=

'''Acquire Necessary Supplies.''' In addition to the Kit, the applicant should prepare the following supplies to complete the build:
#JB weld mixer and applicator - for building frame
#Crazy glue - for attaching cable chain and end stops
#Electrical tape - for fixing wires to frame and bundling them
#Silver sharpie or Masking Tape with Black Sharpie - for marking plugs
#0.4 mm needle - for unclogging nozzle
#Sample PLA filament for initial printing - either 1.75mm or 2.85mm
#An SD Card containing GCode for printing a Test Cube

'''Complete the Build Certification Presentation'''
The Build Certification Presentation is the method by which the applicant submits the required materials for review by OSE. Each module of the Certification is a timed build of a component of the 3D Printer. The final module is the assembly of the printer from the parts prepared in the preceding modules. These modules should be completed one by one in the order laid out in the Build Certification Presentation. In the case where an applicant exceeds the time limit for a module, the applicant should re-build the component, until it can be completed within the time limit.

A completed Build Certification Presentation is ready for submission to OSE when the following have been included by the applicant for each module:
* Timelapse (create using free-to-download smart phone app "Open Camera", follow the [https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OpenCamera#D3D_Certification_Command Open Camera instructions here], upload to YouTube, then add to Presentation with Insert > Video > By URL)
* Completion photos
* Build time '''(applicants don't have to do this if we figure out how long each timelapse needs to be to make time limit)'''

Upon completion of the Build Certification Presentation, email info@opensourceecology.org with a link to [Your D3D Certification Build]. Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted with any re-work needed to successfully obtain Certification.

'''TODO: deprecate the following sections'''

The Build Certification Presentation requires the following completion times:
# Frame assembly within 60 minutes
# Y-left and Z-back axis assembly within 18 minutes
# Y-right and Z-front axis assembly within 18 minutes
# X-axis assembly within 10 minutes
# Heated bed holder within 6 minutes
# Extruder assembly within 25 minutes
# Heated bed assembly within 15 minutes
# Control panel assembly within 25 minutes

'''Complete a 6-Hour Build.''' The individual will then complete the build within 7 hours (6 hours building, 1 hour break) while generating the submission materials needed to receive Certification. The Build Time shall be marked as the time from the beginning of '''frame assembly''' to the finish of a Test Cube. The quality of the Test Cube is not vital at this point, but needs to be refined until high quality is achieved for an individual to receive Certification.

'''Achieve High Quality Prints.''' After completing the build, the applicant must demonstrate the quality of their build by submitting high quality images of a Test Cube and a 3D Benchy within 3 days following their scheduled build date. As long as a submission is received by OSE within 3 days, OSE will assess the print quality and inform the applicant whether the print passes and Certification is granted. If print quality is not sufficient to grant Certification, the applicant can re-submit images every 3 days until Certification is achieved.

It is noted that if the applicant fails to achieve Certification because of a failure to submit images for consideration, the Build Certification must be restarted from the beginning. The art of refining the 3D Printer to produce prints of high quality requires knowledge and intuition, so applicants are encouraged to practice achieving high quality prints while receiving feedback from OSE until their working knowledge of the printer enables them to confidently operate the printer for the entirety of its lifetime.

=Required Materials for Submission=
To be assessed for Certification, an individual must submit the following materials by entering them on the Wiki at [[Your Name Build Certification]] and emailing info@opensourceecology.org to notify OSE of their submission.
* Within 24 hours: [[Build Procedure]] completed with photos and times
* Within 24 hours: An embedded YouTube video showing the full 6-hour timelapse (Using Open Camera set to 10 second intervals and compiled into a timelapse using the instructions here: [[Open Camera]]
* Within 3 days: high quality images showing each side of a Test Cube the applicant considers to be exceptional
* Within 3 days: high quality images showing each side of a 3D Benchy the applicant considers to be exceptional

=Reasonable Accommodations=
If needed, applicants are encouraged to arrange alternative Certification requirements with OSE prior to pursuing Certification. For applicants who feel they require additional time for any reason, or are unable to acquire any of the tools or supplies needed to complete Certification, please contact us at info@opensourceecology.org. Any arrangements differing from those outlined on this page must be agreed to in advance by OSE and the applicant.

Secbajor: /* Certification Procedure */

=Introduction=
The Build Certification follows the completion of the OSE [[Kit Certification]] in an individual's pursuit of establishing an OSE-recognized Distributed Enterprise for the D3D Printer. It can also be achieved on its own without intention of establishing a Distributed Enterprise.

=Relationship of Build Certification to Kit Certification and Distributed Enterprise=
An individual may pursue Build Certification in conjunction with, or separate from, [[Kit Certification]]. While attaining [[Kit Certification]] allows an individual to produce and distribute OSE-recognized Kits, the Build Certification grants additional allowance for an individual to provide customer support to those who have purchased Kits. For those seeking to begin a Distributed Enterprise the Kit Certification, Build Certification and Operations Certification must all be attained and maintained for the duration of the time the individual has the Distributed Enterprise.

One who has achieved these certifications are referred to as follows, respectively for each level of certification:
* Certified Kit Producer
* Certified Builder
* Certified Distributed Enterprise Holder
'''SUGGESTION: increasing profit margins at each level of certification'''

=OSE vs Independent vs Certified Producer=

There are 5 relationships relevant to the question of certification. Certification provides a verified mark of quality endorsed by OSE according to clearly measurable criteria. The 5 scenarios are:

#'''OSE-Certified Producer''' - the producer works with OSE under the OSE brand and under a Licensing Agreement. Producer is required to pass certification. Specific terms are negotiated. This relationship is known as a Licensing Agreement. An OSE producer is required to provide customer support, for which Kit Producer and Builder Certification is required.
#'''Independent Producer''' - If a producer would like to establish an enterprise independent of OSE - they are welcome to do so and do not require OSE permission. This is because the OSE designs are open source. However, the producer cannot use the OSE brand to distinguish their product. OSE's 3D printer then functions as a freely-available, white-label product - and any machines produced in this manner are known as clones. There are no stipulations from OSE how an independent producer runs their business.
#'''Independent, Certified Producer''' - If a producer would like to work under their own, OSE-independent brand - they are welcome to do so as well. In this case, the Producer pays for the Certification (around $1200, which includes one OSE 3D printer which is submitted to OSE and kept by OSE for lifetime testing). Certification is valid for 2 years. The producer submits a one-time fee, sets their own price structure for the 3D printer, and keeps all the profits. The producer in this case can use the OSE-Certified label on their product (like a certification mark), but cannot use the OSE brand for marketing purposes. Certified producers are featured on the OSE website, keep serial numbers of machines produced, and must provide customer records so that customers can be contacted for reviewing the product. If reviews turn negative, OSE will investigate quality control issue and may terminate the certification if quality is inadequate. Certified producers will be invited to an annual conference.
#'''Reseller''' - other enterprises which have marketing capacity may arrange a reseller relationship. In this case, OSE is the producer. Other duties and responsibilities depend on the specific situation.
#'''Contract Manufacturer''' - a relationship may be set up with third parties for producing the product. This is not particularly consistent with local production, but may be considered in some cases.
#'''Independent, Certified, OSE Producer''' - this does not exist - one cannot be independent and work for OSE at the same time.

=Prerequisites=
The major checkpoint for achieving Build Certification is the ability to reliably assemble a 3D Printer from a Kit within 6 hours.

* Acquire a Kit by purchasing one from OSE '''or''' purchasing the parts independently and submitting [[Kit Certification]] for OSE approval
* Create your own copy of the presentation on [[D3D Build Certification Application]] and embed on a new page called [[Your Name D3D Build Certification]] (Requires a Wiki account; see [[https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Sara_D3D_Build_Certification example]])
* Email info@opensourceecology.org with a link to your Build Certification page and a written statement of your intention to pursue Build Certification. Include any comments or feedback on completing the Prerequisites.

=Certification Procedure=

The applicant must embed each of the following as a timelapse video embedded in [[Your Name Build Certification]]. (The timelapse should be made using Open Camera - a free-to-download smart phone application available in Google Play and iPhone's App Store - set to 10 second intervals and compiled into a timelapse using the instructions here: [[https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OpenCamera#D3D_Certification_Command Open Camera]])

Make a copy of the Build Certification Presentation and replace the following on each slide:
* Timelapse (upload to YouTube, then add to Presentation with Insert > Video > By URL)
* Completion photos
* Time '''(applicants don't have to do this if we figure out how long each timelapse needs to be to make time limit)'''

# Frame assembly within 60 minutes
# Y-left and Z-back axis assembly within 18 minutes
# Y-right and Z-front axis assembly within 18 minutes
# X-axis assembly within 10 minutes
# Heated bed holder within 6 minutes
# Extruder assembly within 25 minutes
# Heated bed assembly within 15 minutes
# Control panel assembly within 25 minutes

'''Acquire Necessary Supplies.''' In addition to the Kit, the applicant should prepare the following supplies to complete the build:
#JB weld mixer and applicator - for building frame
#Crazy glue - for attaching cable chain and end stops
#Electrical tape - for fixing wires to frame and bundling them
#Silver sharpie or Masking Tape with Black Sharpie - for marking plugs
#0.4 mm needle - for unclogging nozzle
#Sample PLA filament for initial printing - either 1.75mm or 2.85mm
#An SD Card containing GCode for printing a Test Cube

'''Schedule a Build Day.''' When your intention to pursue Build Certification is received, an OSE representative will contact you to schedule a day and start time for the build. Before the build begins on the scheduled day, the OSE representative will check in via conference call to confirm the beginning time of the build.

'''Complete a 6-Hour Build.''' The individual will then complete the build within 7 hours (6 hours building, 1 hour break) while generating the submission materials needed to receive Certification. The Build Time shall be marked as the time from the beginning of '''frame assembly''' to the finish of a Test Cube. The quality of the Test Cube is not vital at this point, but needs to be refined until high quality is achieved for an individual to receive Certification.

'''Achieve High Quality Prints.''' After completing the build, the applicant must demonstrate the quality of their build by submitting high quality images of a Test Cube and a 3D Benchy within 3 days following their scheduled build date. As long as a submission is received by OSE within 3 days, OSE will assess the print quality and inform the applicant whether the print passes and Certification is granted. If print quality is not sufficient to grant Certification, the applicant can re-submit images every 3 days until Certification is achieved.

It is noted that if the applicant fails to achieve Certification because of a failure to submit images for consideration, the Build Certification must be restarted from the beginning. The art of refining the 3D Printer to produce prints of high quality requires knowledge and intuition, so applicants are encouraged to practice achieving high quality prints while receiving feedback from OSE until their working knowledge of the printer enables them to confidently operate the printer for the entirety of its lifetime.

=Required Materials for Submission=
To be assessed for Certification, an individual must submit the following materials by entering them on the Wiki at [[Your Name Build Certification]] and emailing info@opensourceecology.org to notify OSE of their submission.
* Within 24 hours: [[Build Procedure]] completed with photos and times
* Within 24 hours: An embedded YouTube video showing the full 6-hour timelapse (Using Open Camera set to 10 second intervals and compiled into a timelapse using the instructions here: [[Open Camera]]
* Within 3 days: high quality images showing each side of a Test Cube the applicant considers to be exceptional
* Within 3 days: high quality images showing each side of a 3D Benchy the applicant considers to be exceptional

=Reasonable Accommodations=
If needed, applicants are encouraged to arrange alternative Certification requirements with OSE prior to pursuing Certification. For applicants who feel they require additional time for any reason, or are unable to acquire any of the tools or supplies needed to complete Certification, please contact us at info@opensourceecology.org. Any arrangements differing from those outlined on this page must be agreed to in advance by OSE and the applicant.

Secbajor: /* Prerequisites */

=Introduction=
The Build Certification follows the completion of the OSE [[Kit Certification]] in an individual's pursuit of establishing an OSE-recognized Distributed Enterprise for the D3D Printer. It can also be achieved on its own without intention of establishing a Distributed Enterprise.

=Relationship of Build Certification to Kit Certification and Distributed Enterprise=
An individual may pursue Build Certification in conjunction with, or separate from, [[Kit Certification]]. While attaining [[Kit Certification]] allows an individual to produce and distribute OSE-recognized Kits, the Build Certification grants additional allowance for an individual to provide customer support to those who have purchased Kits. For those seeking to begin a Distributed Enterprise the Kit Certification, Build Certification and Operations Certification must all be attained and maintained for the duration of the time the individual has the Distributed Enterprise.

One who has achieved these certifications are referred to as follows, respectively for each level of certification:
* Certified Kit Producer
* Certified Builder
* Certified Distributed Enterprise Holder
'''SUGGESTION: increasing profit margins at each level of certification'''

=OSE vs Independent vs Certified Producer=

There are 5 relationships relevant to the question of certification. Certification provides a verified mark of quality endorsed by OSE according to clearly measurable criteria. The 5 scenarios are:

#'''OSE-Certified Producer''' - the producer works with OSE under the OSE brand and under a Licensing Agreement. Producer is required to pass certification. Specific terms are negotiated. This relationship is known as a Licensing Agreement. An OSE producer is required to provide customer support, for which Kit Producer and Builder Certification is required.
#'''Independent Producer''' - If a producer would like to establish an enterprise independent of OSE - they are welcome to do so and do not require OSE permission. This is because the OSE designs are open source. However, the producer cannot use the OSE brand to distinguish their product. OSE's 3D printer then functions as a freely-available, white-label product - and any machines produced in this manner are known as clones. There are no stipulations from OSE how an independent producer runs their business.
#'''Independent, Certified Producer''' - If a producer would like to work under their own, OSE-independent brand - they are welcome to do so as well. In this case, the Producer pays for the Certification (around $1200, which includes one OSE 3D printer which is submitted to OSE and kept by OSE for lifetime testing). Certification is valid for 2 years. The producer submits a one-time fee, sets their own price structure for the 3D printer, and keeps all the profits. The producer in this case can use the OSE-Certified label on their product (like a certification mark), but cannot use the OSE brand for marketing purposes. Certified producers are featured on the OSE website, keep serial numbers of machines produced, and must provide customer records so that customers can be contacted for reviewing the product. If reviews turn negative, OSE will investigate quality control issue and may terminate the certification if quality is inadequate. Certified producers will be invited to an annual conference.
#'''Reseller''' - other enterprises which have marketing capacity may arrange a reseller relationship. In this case, OSE is the producer. Other duties and responsibilities depend on the specific situation.
#'''Contract Manufacturer''' - a relationship may be set up with third parties for producing the product. This is not particularly consistent with local production, but may be considered in some cases.
#'''Independent, Certified, OSE Producer''' - this does not exist - one cannot be independent and work for OSE at the same time.

=Prerequisites=
The major checkpoint for achieving Build Certification is the ability to reliably assemble a 3D Printer from a Kit within 6 hours. In order to achieve the 6-hour build time, it is recommended an individual practice the following procedures until mastery of each is attained. A successful build will not be completed within 6 hours if many mistakes are made that require going back and repeating steps. It is recommended that Build Certification only be attempted after an individual is confident the following can be achieved comfortably:

* Access to a 5x5' workspace with electric power outlet for 8 hours
* Ability to use OpenCamera on a smartphone - demonstrated by creating a timelapse with the picture rate set to 10 second intervals and compiled using the instructions here: [[Open Camera]])
* Ability to use JB Kwik Weld effectively so that frame can be assembled securely
* Assembly of one y- or z-axis axis within 9 minutes
* Assembly of 4 axes within 36 minutes (2 x-axes and 2 y-axes)
* Assembly of the x-axis within 10 minutes
* Assembly of the Extruder within 25 minutes
* Mounting an axis to the frame within 6 minutes
* Mounting the power supply to the control panel board with zipties within 5 minutes
* Assembling 5 cable chain links together within 30 seconds
* Identifying all cables and where they attach to the RAMPS and/or power supply without referencing documentation
* Working knowledge of the Final Assembly procedure
* Working knowledge of the function of the z-probe and how to achieve perfect first layers

'''TODO: Provide video documentation of the recommended procedure for achieving these time frames'''

=Requesting Certification=
After achieving mastery of the steps recommended above, an individual can request Build Certification from OSE by completing the following:
* Acquire a Kit by purchasing one from OSE or purchasing the parts independently and submitting [[Kit Certification]] for OSE approval
* Create your own copy of the presentation on [[Build Procedure]] and embed on a new page called [[Your Name Build Certification]] (Requires a Wiki account.)
* Email info@opensourceecology.org with a link to your Build Certification page and a written statement of your intention to pursue Build Certification. Include any comments or feedback on completing the Prerequisites.

3D Printer build efficiency recommendations
* z-side bottom frame holes 1/4 inch higher - so axis can easily be fitted when printer is sitting flat on table
* build agnostic axes, attach to frame, then finish - so you only do it once

200 kilowatts per activity is the point at which "industry" scale is reached.
I.e; 100 kilowatt tractor would be "homestead" scale, 200 kilowatt is industrial scale -- with industrial efficiency.
Solar panels are less than $0.5/watt. So 100 kilowatt will cost $50,000 one time investment.

Using 30 acres of land to achieve all that modern technology offers
Basically, 4 major types of materials: Biomass, metals, ceramics, plastic
Modern tech refined from raw versions of these
Electricity is very flexible in facilitating the refining of these materials
You can smelt iron ore with electricity
Any process that requires heat, can be powered with electricity
Energy is the ability to convert any material into a more refined material
Most modern compounds are aluminum or steel based
Thus the induction furnace + metal roller - to convert scrap into reusable metals
Make tubing, rods, or wire
Industry evolved from wood -> steel (metals) -> information
Metal: electrons move but the nucleus is stable

(Well suited for B2B sales)
For success, the person you are talking to should be talking 80% of the time.
Establish your expertise along with a sense of trust/mutual understanding. So that objections can be brought up and addressed (or even better: address the objections before they come up, if you have this level of insight).
More likely than not, what you are selling is not their #1 priority. So you have to do some work to convince them.
Ask questions; like, what does it mean for their organization if you address their need? Get them thinking about it. (i.e; What do you think about making your own tools rather than purchasing tools that already exist?)
Treat them as the expert on what they need, then communicate how you can address their needs.
If our service does not actually address their need, we can pivot our service to match it or pick up the relationship somewhere down the line.

Ferdi: the quality of educations is the greatest security for 3D printing longevity. Even the "best", most expensive printer will fail if not operated properly. Train the trainers.
Ferdi: noticed through personal experience that 3D printers are region-specific. So maybe focus more on the knowledge around 3D printers rather than the printers themselves. "We teach our students how to build machines."

Developer Test Work Log

{{YoutubePopup|UWhZ_YS_Y-8}}

[[Media:Sara-bajor-xyz-cube-bolt-initials.fcstd]]

Installing Linux USB: .5 hours
Learning FreeCAD: 15 hours
Documentation: 1 hour

Learning FreeCAD was definitely the most difficult task. The 15 hours learning FreeCAD enabled me to complete the XYZ cube in about 42 minutes. It took me a while to figure out how to align the pipes perpendicular and parallel to each other within the xyz plane. I watched the 2 tutorial videos provided but had to frequently reference the [[Old_FreeCAD_Tests]] to fully understand how to accomplish the task. I did not use any other outside tutorials.

I believe I built the XYZ cube in a "brute force" fashion and that a more efficient and elegant solution was possible. At some point while adding the fastener to my cube, some of the pipes came out of position, so I give myself 85% for this attempt.

=Introduction=
The kit in its fully prepared form requires no soldering, and only these tools. A cordless drill is recommended for the 6 mm bolts for speed:
#5 mm hex bit - for tightneting all 6 mm screws
#Philiph screw driver - for power supply and MOSFET connection
#3 mm flathead screwdriver - for RAMPS connections to terminals; for taking out belt plugs
#Pliers - for tigthening 6 mm and 3 mm bolts, and for tensioning the belt.
#Side cutters - for cutting zip ties off
Supplies needed:
#Magnets + JB weld + JB weld spreader + JB weld mixer - for building frame
#Crazy glue - for attaching cable chain and end stops
#Electrical tape - for fixing wires to frame and bundling them
#Silver sharpie - for marking plugs
#0.4 mm needle - for unclogging nozzle
#Sample PLA filament for initial printing

=Procedure=
Document on your log as [[ Your_Name Kit Build ]] with total of 18 pictures and 14 times. Ex. [[Sara Kit Certification]].

Start [[OpenCamera]] time lapse at a 10 second interval (which turns an 8 hour day into 2 munutes). See [[OpenCamera]] for instructions on how to take pictures and how to convert them to video. Run the time lapse all the way until your [[3D Benchy]] is printed successfully - to mark the full time of shakedown prior to production print testing. Note that the time lapse - when done at 25 frames per second - can be used to calculate time for each step - given that each frame is taken at 10 second interval. For example - each second of video playback of the time lapse will correspond to 25*10 seconds = 250 seconds - or about 4 minutes of actual time.

Mark the actual time, starting at 9 AM - During the build - mark down times quickly in a notebook for all the steps. Note that this is absolute time, and it does not allow for any inconsistency when using a stopwatch . The time lapse can be used to extract time information as well - so if you forget to write down the time - just keep going and that information can be extracted from the time lapse.

==Build==
#Build frame. 3 detailed Finished Pictures showing the amount of epoxy used on inside bottom, inside sides, and inside top. Time.
#Build Y Left Axis twice. Finished Picture from the side opposite of the motor. Time.
#Build Y Right Axis twice. Finished Picture from the opposite side of the motor. Time.
#Build X axis. Finished picture from opposite of the motor side. Time.
#Glue first cable chain piece onto the carriage as needed.
#Glue 2 endstops to X and Y axes as needed.
#Build extruder assembly. Finished picture. Time.
#Build heated bed (PEI addition + twist white wire around red. Finished picture from both sides. Time.
#Build control panel. Finished picture from both sides. Time.
#Mount Y axes and Z axes. Finished Picture. Time.
#Mount the X axis. Finished picture. Time.
#Mount heated bed holder (without heated bed per se). Finished picture. Time.
#Mount extruder. Finished picture. Time.
#Mount actual heated bed - locating the homing point at the upper left corner.
#Do cable chain and all wire routing and tidying. '''3 Finished pictures of complete printer:''' from the front, from the control panel side, and from left front side. Time.
#Mount spool holder and filament. Finished Picture. Time.

==Print==
#Print [[Cube]] while tethered to the computer. This provides a quick test of printer performance, and allows for fine tuning of the first layer.
##Start with Z offset of -1 (stock value)
##Fine tune the first layer on the fly to get a good print using Babystepping.
##Add this babystepping value to the Z offset and save in memory to fine tune the first layer - the printer is good for production printing at this point.
##Print the test cube again - and show that without any adjustment - the print is correct.
##'''Take picture of the new Z offset on the LCD, and take a picture of the bottom of the print (first layer) to show a good print start.'''
#Upload .ini file for this printer to your certification page on your log. This is for troubleshooting.
#Generate [[3DBenchy]] gcode. Compress and Upload your 3DBenchy gcode to your certification page.
#Insert SD card with test [[3DBenchy]]. Print at normal speed.
#You can stop the time lapse here.
#'''Take 8 pictures of your first 3DBenchy. '''
##top for layer quality
##bottom for first layer adhesion
##front to observe symmetry
##back for fine letters and symmetry
##right side for overhang quality
##left side.
##Finally, the length (60 mm / 2.4in) measurement
##...and width measurement (31 mm / 1.2in)
#Make any adjustments on your printer if needed, print another Benchy, and take the same 8 pictures again.
#Upload your time lapse video to your kit certification page - embedded as a YouTube video.

=Production Readiness=
Once print quality has been ascertained above - the completion of Build Certification is testing that the 3D printer is production ready. That means that it can not only print high quality - but that it can print for long, unattended periods of time. To test this:

'''Start a production print of 16 motor pieces and print successfully at 100% speed.''' The printer can ship once this print is done without any defects. This is a long and demanding print with overhangs and susceptibility to failure unless the printer is working reliably without any known defects. Because the motor pieces are printed vertically - build plate adhesion must be good and the printed layer must be very smooth - otherwise the print head will hit the print and knock off the printed pieces off the platform - especially during the latter steges of the print. This print takes about 24 hours.
