  • I started a 3D printing business. It didn't go too well, so now I'll have to try and save it.
    Consider helping a microscopic business (me, myself, and I) out :D

    don't sell luxury items to students. they leave dishes in a sink, what makes you think they want to hang their headphones and use a clampable cupholder? as a student that 10er is best spent on the next pint or whatever you guys do in the states. (probably play frisbee/boomerang)
    your item didn't work on 2 of the 3 tables shown, make it more robust; overengineer.
    all that is to say, know your demographic. I'm no expert but these are the things id look at.

      Well, it was worth a try. I realized the conundrum after the second interaction, but continued because, who knows what might happen? (Shad the Chad happened). Thanks for the suggestions though, I probably could overengineer it a bit (probably add some neoprene adhesive rubber to the underside of the top clamp perhaps). The boomerang could be a better sell, I agree, and that discovery happened accidentally. At the end of the day, I experimented with something that may not work, but it put me in a position to find something that could work better!

    Reminds me of the cannabis packer I made for cone joints. That was the only thing I sold and sold maybe 2 a month for $20 each. Eventually Etsy took down my page. When I put it back up on Etsy it just got buried in their keyword lists.

      That's true :o. When you are small, you are able to, and should try many different things. Makes sense!

    A 3d printing business is the most stupid stressful thing I've ever heard

    • @TheTinkeringTechie
      @TheTinkeringTechie  วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Well you are talking to a (small) TH-camr :P. We're more inclined to experiment with things. I watched a few videos about how a full on 3D printing business requires basically more than a 40 hour work week to keep it going. And what did I do after that? I decided to start one. Probably won't make it into an actual business though, just something fun (for me) on the side. I'll probably mainly sell the 3D design files so that there isn't much time/effort spent on making a sale.

    Maybe a TPU , squishy pad for grip

    • @TheTinkeringTechie
      @TheTinkeringTechie  3 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      That would work! I would be able to do multiple filament prints all in 1 print if I had a filament changer (I use bambu labs P1S), and that'd be cool too. But I could print a pad and then screw it into the top section.
