Today I thought I'd take you guys into my process of rapid prototyping the Jigsaw Puzzle Coffee Table with the Glowforge Pro! I launched it on Kickstarter of July 2020 and raised $102,894. Using the 3D laser CNC machine, I was able to come up with the idea and launch the product by building my own product prototype for the campaign. Check out my 5 tips for rapid prototyping your own product today!

I took a different approach to this video to hopefully give a little bit of insight into my thought process behind prototyping and launching a product. Let me know if you guys enjoyed it and if you'd like to see more video like it on the channel. Any particular topics you like me to sit down and explain?!

[@jatwala8295]

dude i love this. this is definitely gonna help some people and it was very entertaining to watch even for someone who isn’t going to launch a kickstarter :)

[@zakk0730]

This was cool

[@ENIGMAFILIA]

We Want More More More Like This

[@GunnerAl9]

First time watching one of your videos and I really enjoyed you educating us on the whole process - more videos like this please! One 2 second video spot where you fed a large sheet of plywood through the glow forge taught me what was possible with that machine that I never realized. I went right to the site and started my research. Great job. You speak extremely well and do awesome editing.

[@ethanpaves4913]

Love all your videos and enjoy this behind the scenes video. Keep up the great work man!

[@BenTeutho]

I love how you own that cease and desist letter like it's an award. 😂

[@curryrice7510]

Not gonna lie, some of your “unnecessary” products look so good and I want them.

[@rajsastrophotography]

Man this is really inspiring.. I’m a mechanical engineer who build oil and gas tools. I do have several patents but I never thought there is an audience who enjoy watching the cool inventions. I think I’m gonna get me a 3D printer start creating new designs. Once again thanks and I love your cool inventors

[@MusicAndOtherColors]

Yes please! I would love to see more of this. Great idea by the way !

[@siliconghost]

Thanks for sharing your thought process Matt!

[@WowCoolHorse]

I'd love to see more stuff like this, I'm always interested in makers' workflows

[@pdub2762]

Really insightful for this new inventor. Thank you!

[@alexandrecavadas8463]

More of this!!!!! Awesome content!!!!!

Great video! Always inspiring to see the experimentation and process behind the scenes. Would love to get my hands on a Glowforge, if only they shipped internationally!

[@ENIGMAFILIA]

YES! We Want MORE Of this

[@dankboiart2798]

Definitely want to see more of this!

[@johnnythiede9114]

Machine looks cool, I'm definitely gunna look into it, More videos in this style would be really helpful. Maybe go into comparing cnc laser cutting vs 3d printing and how you pick what will work,

[@lordperezident]

That's easy! CNC for easy parts and 3d for complex intricate parts

[@matttk421]

Awesome Dude!! Thanks for sharing your ideas and approach!! Love it!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@unicomp5705]

Great ideas for the starting inventor!!!! You need to know what design/prototyping tools to use and where to go for manufacturing your idea.... Do more vids for the beginning inventors out here! :-) Thanks!!! These vids are great motivators!!! Mike in LA, Calif

[@73notch]

Cool stuff dude, always like seeing the tools of a maker 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kandeleon8266]

Love your content, keep up the great work 👍

[@ritas6972]

I love the jigsaw puzzle coffee table and the croc gloves.. so much fun. You are extremely creative.

[@martinbolton987]

Great video! A lot of really valuable info!

[@suzalgurungz5845]

So far this is the best invention :-) I love it

[@BornDoubter]

Just found your channel. WOW! Fantastic! Can't wait to see the next one.

[@redsgaming4614]

You should totally make the frame under the pieces have cup holders so that you can remove the puzzle pieces and place a drink in it’s place!

[@AlexpxThreeTen]

That was amazing. I love these vids

[@jackhammer915]

Biggest thing for me is when these big KZbinrs show how to launch products like this but their popularity makes it a very different scenario than if anyone else wanted to do something like this themselves

I would love to learn more about the Kickstarter campaign (and your outside ads mostly)

[@fabianluethi03]

6:51 would be very nice to see how u go from the 3D Design to the prototyping/3D printing

[@rafaelrojas07]

It’d be cool if you could put an image on each side of the puzzle pieces so once the table’s complete you get one big picture. You can then flip over the puzzle pieces and make a new image for the coffee table.

[@brandonleavitt8974]

Your a genius thanks for the encouragement

[@twisted_seraph]

Please do more like this.

this „little bit different video“ made me subscribe :D

[@LifeByPeter]

Hey! I’m thinking about doing a Kickstarter and am at the ground floor. I’d love to know more about the experience in terms of preparation and strategy!

[@ebyvids]

Can you make a series of videos of this entire process going into more detail with all problems you ran into, each video being one step? Oh and preferably using a 3d printer? That would be gold.

[@UnnecessaryInventions]

Thanks for the suggestion! I think of the best way I could package all the information for you guys

[@ShivamGupta-mw7qo]

This is amazing🔥. The inspiration I get from you has helped me learn Solidworks, thank you !

[@venkateshr6031]

What is solid works?

[@nickelbers48]

KZbin just recommended me your channel and its preety cool - I subbed :) I was wondering if you could answer a question that is sort of related to the table. I don't have a glowforge, but I do have a 100w Chinese laser cutter/engraver and I have been wanting to cut puzzle pieces for a while. What sort of tolerance would you suggest for a good fit? Thanks,

[@melindagibson8606]

Great video!!!! Yes yes 3d printer video!!

[@remigirageth1815]

Mate, I am looking at the Glowforge exactly to do this. Some questions 1. I saw your image of the table prototyping, so obviously the table is much much bigger than the Glowforge, so how did you get all the pieces made on that one single piece of wood? 2. Where do you source the wood and other things? 3. Where or how did you design the actual bottom of the table, legs and underlying grid? 4. Did you print the underlying grid too? 5. what is the purpose of the intake slot on the printer? do I need the pro or is the plus enough? 6. I am assuming you didnt just get huge amounts of wood and run them through the printer? Thank you!

[@PumpkinPails]

I do want to see more of these types of videos.

[@UnnecessaryInventions]

Cool good to know

[@boostalmighty5505]

Inspirational thanks for the motivation 🙏 I got a k40 gonna climb up the ladder of engraving first mile stone purchase of laser engraving machine..

Damn I remember when yout had barely half the subs lol you're gonna get to a million by this time next year!!

[@jurgenvantomme]

inspiring thank you.

[@the_grass_trainer]

Are you ever afraid of someone ripping off your ideas in any groups you post to?

[@UnnecessaryInventions]

I think that is definitely one thing that hold people back but the odd of someone actually taking the time to develop someone else's idea is very slim - in that manner.

[@jimmyz1686]

Dang why didn’t I think of that!!!! That is a great idea. How did you search for a manufacturer on alibaba? How do you know who to trust?

[@christophermoreno3668]

Great video!

[@sandymarkusoff2818]

Hi Matt, I love your coffee table. I am really interested in getting a Glowforge Pro myself. Do you know if I can apply your discount and still pay for it through Affirm on a monthly basis

Great content what 3 d printing do you use.. ty

[@rockman49er]

Im just going to sit here and print and engrave cats all day.

[@brickovensoapworks39]

thanks for the $500 off, getting the pro today!

[@GiggaVega]

Great job, see, sometimes a ridiculous sounding idea can actually be a good idea. Btw, how did you make that laptop your using? lol

[@markskellet6870]

Really cool table :-) How do you make sure that a company or someone else doesn't take your idea and start manufacturing it themselves? Do you make a patent on your design?

[@NicksStuff]

Loved the video. Actual useful products may deserve a second channel

[@Inventorsquare]

Fantastic video.

[@SuperCarFan-we2ug]

Honestly this is really good for parents because their kids can create the puzzle and have something to do lol

thanks for sharing the process. what did you do to find the right manufacturer on alibaba?

[@Empress969]

I liked this video. New sub

[@avanv6719]

Can you put a link for the website that generated the puzzle?

[@ErichSchwer]

Very cool seeing how you prototype and manufacture! Big fan, and fellow Vermonter/design engineer/creator! Keep killing it!

[@yupasanne9315]

That’s fantastic! You should sell the digital file to the GF users community, they/I would definitely buy it! And another stream of revenue!!

[@l.r.designstudioslauriesul8993]

You should have the table top be offered with a custom photo puzzle :)

i have an invention that needs a sponcerrrrr lol

[@georgewanjiru1197]

i seriously wish i had a glowforge.. this would make me and several others have a good life..

[@8thsinner]

Never heard of the puzzle desk, But do you mind if I try my hand at making and selling my own version? I am planning to hand some cash to a cnc manufacturer and this gives me an idea for something a little smaller that I can use to play around and both learn software and tweak feeds and stuff..?

You should do some tutorial style videos for 3d modeling and introductions into 3d printing for complete noobs. I love your personality and I would love to see that type of video from you if even in a second channel or something

[@UnnecessaryInventions]

Cool. I'd have to figure out if I was be able to teach my 3d CAD methods haha! I just learned from KZbin so I think my methods are might sometimes not be the best. I hack away until I get the design I want.

[@danclark45]

@@UnnecessaryInventions I'd love to learn from someone who is self taught. Someone who was once in the place I am now, just wanting to learn without all the technical jargons. If you ever decide to make anything like these I'll be sure to watch them! Keep up the unnecessarily good content!
