Whew…. i have a lot of work to do. Thanks for breaking each step down so succinctly.

[@PredictableDesigns]

Happy to help!

I just seen a few of your videos and subscribed to your channel. Your presentations make a lot of sense. Although I watch your videos from a nostalgic perspective, remembering the 10 years or so I was a professional product development engineer for medical and military equipment. Some 30-40 years ago. But it was the time I could not wish to do anything more enjoyable than work.

Your channel is a goldmine

[@PredictableDesigns]

Wow, thank you!

[@meysam1155]

Great videos! Thank you very much John! The only way to make these videos even better is to get rid of the sound effects or reduce their frequency by a factor of 100! They are very annoying!

[@PredictableDesigns]

Thank you and I appreciate both the good and bad feedback. You are the second person to mention the sound effects being too much so I'll definitely tell my video editor to cut way back on them. Best wishes!

[@mvillawolf]

Excellent video. Very useful. Thanks a lot John!

[@PredictableDesigns]

Thank you Mauricio, glad you found it useful!

Great ! Thanks again Mr TEEL, but how about standard enclosures as enclosure for the prototype? Do you advice that?

[@PredictableDesigns]

Thank you Stephane! Yes, if you can find an off-the-shelf enclosure that is great and will save you a lot of time and money.

I learned a lot, thank you, appreciate all the content you put out for free here.

[@PredictableDesigns]

Glad it was helpful!

That's so great! It looks like I'm half the way. 😂

[@greendragonmakerspace]

Thank you very much for your straightforward and detailed explanations. X

[@PredictableDesigns]

Thank you!

[@Bob-Is-A-PotterNow]

Really useful information. Thank you!

[@PredictableDesigns]

You are most welcome!

[@sterlinghairsolutions4714]

Great video thank you

[@PredictableDesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JamesWattMusic]

should you try to plan ahead for the safety testing during the prototype phases?

[@PredictableDesigns]

Yes, definitely!

[@BallyBoy95]

Got my looks-like and feels-like prototypes. Now I've got to merge them. 😅 Then celebrate. 🎉🎉🎉

[@diegoberta123]

Congrats for your great videos!

[@PredictableDesigns]

Thank you very much!

[@spasticjackson9578]

Awesome insight !

[@PredictableDesigns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ericneering6357]

Yeah, only thing is is I don’t think any of the modern builders today could handle my build. They just cut corners way too much. I mean I could be wrong but I think they’ll hurt somebody.

[@ericneering6357]

What is your product is not this complicated and you already have a working prototype that you made at home that worked exactly like it should what then?

[@PredictableDesigns]

My advice would be to next use that prototype to pre-sell your product.

Thank you Daniel, glad you liked it.
