Your over complicating the manufacturing process. It's not that complicated. If your selling in bulk, you will need a manufacturing line set up. It's nice when you can set up a line for a specific product but it's not always possible depending on several factors like how many printers you have, how many individule products you want to make, how much room you have to work in, and your experience level. Not to mention the r&d phase.. If you don't have the experience to keep the flow going, then you need to hire someone who does. There is no closed loop process in fdm manufacturing. You have to think on the go and you will make mistakes. It's going to happen. Best advice I can give is to keep a couple extra machines ready to go and keep plenty of parts on hand. You will have jams, clogs, breakdowns, and lots more problems. What makes a good flow is having someone who knows what they are doing. Problem is, if someone does know what they are doing, you probably won't want to pay what they are worth. Or they probably own their own buisness like I do.
