there is designing for 3d printing. and then there is designing for a print farm.

That’s only if your print farm is grossly incapable lmao Look at JLC3DP and PCBWAY for an idea.

Wish more people would take these things into consideration before posting their models online as well -.- hopefully with these videos they start to

Any idea of how you'd take advantage of your print farm, but sell items that require additional hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.) and/or instructions, etc.? This is from a perspective of a seller that isn't in the US to be able to receive the printed parts and then assemble the package with the rest of the components.

Sure thing!

Ugh. I like the idea behind fuzzy skin. But I haven't seen an implementation yet that looks good on prints. I feel it makes the products look cheap. Custom texturing can be nice though.

How would you go about having sections of the part that you've designed to use bridging? Would the API auto generate support for those features? Is there a logic to what is given support and what is not?

@slant3d 2 ай бұрын

Anything over 45 degrees is automatically supported

@@slant3dthat is what was said in the video, but I can't help but feel like it kind of ignores the question...esp since you have other videos stating the possibility of designing parts with short bridge sections which would print fine 🤔 feel like there should at least be an option for that 🤷🏿‍♀️

How do does the prototyping process work with your platform? I'd like to do a test run or two before lighting up my store for real paying customers.

He says that in the video. You should order yourself to make sure that you're getting the quality that you want.

@slant3d 2 ай бұрын

You can order a sample from the Print on demand app on the website. It is the same cost and quality as the Etsy and Shopify plugins

how does adding fuzzy skin not add any extra cost when it takes more time to print?

I'm really start to think if you really have a printing farm.

Why do you not offer .1mm layer heights? Feel like you miss out on a lot of potential use cases. I have something I would like to farm but looks like garbagio at .2mm

You can fix this by applying a texture to the surface of the model. He says this in the video.

My guess is operational overhead - if there are two options instead of one then someone has to make a decision every time they slice the model and double check that they’ve got the right settings etc etc. More risk on their end of getting it wrong, slows down throughput, and the benefit is only marginally more business from designers.

So basically any characters you can't print because 90% of them need supports.

@nemodude2 Ай бұрын

@@sherlockhomes9919 I’m sure you can either break apart the character so that each piece could be orientated in a printable way or upload a file with generated tree supports like he mentioned in the video.
