We'll Buy Your Etsy Product l Getting Your First Sale on Etsy | 3D Printing News | Meta 3D Data

[@cbshipper5719]

I appreciate how much you are supporting the 3D printing community and actively not gatekeeping your knowledge and success in the industry.

[@8x8johan]

This is great! ⚡⚡ As a person living in Europe, your Etsy plugin opens up the whole US market for any models I might make. The buying program is a tasty cherry on top. I'm a complete novice to 3D printing, and have only done some modeling in school in Autodesk Revit. About to order my first printer. But you really motivate me to just try and put a model up for sale! Thanks for that and all the other great videos ♥️ Best wishes from Denmark

One major sticking point for me in regards to opening an Etsy store is finding a CAD platform that is easy enough to use while also being free or cheap, for commercial use. I learned on solidworks in school and have been using onshape for personal projects. But most popular cad platforms are very expensive if you wanna use them to make stuff commercially. Would love to see y’all make an episode about this!

[@zinput]

FreeCAD has recently seen some major improvements as they near releasing version 1.0, including fixing the topological naming problem. I'd argue it's become very usable now, and it shouldn't be too difficult to pick up if you already have existing cad knowledge. They have a written tutorial on their website.

[@DeeSnow97]

@@zinput NO FRICKIN WAY, that's the best news i've heard all week. how the hell did they even solve it? i need to get on the rc branch. i've been using the current "stable" release of freecad because working around its issues has been less painful than the idea of paying autodesk and making my cad skills dependent on their mercy, but that revamp sounds absolutely incredible

[@Zhamenil]

@@B0A2 dude just get Solidworks for Makers suite, its 65 a year

[@greentea5651]

That echo is harsh! 😬

[@edwardnardella6854]

It's more than just an echo.

[@keithjohnston5422]

Yeah i was going to say something as well the info is great but something in that mic is feeding back

[@NanobyteOnline]

Video production budget got cut to make filament cheaper

[@kevinwarner959]

Lol

[@JacksonUW]

Sounds like you're talking into a fan xD

[@amagrude]

Good timing. Taking a break from setting up models and, poof, now there’s a way for me to get a test print for free. I lack the eloquence to say how helpful your content is and now this. Thank you.

[@SunKing95]

I'd love to learn more about what 3D printed products take it the next level! I'm talking mostly about integrating LED and microcontrollers in their products. What kind of challenges do these products have to overcome if they get on Etsy or Shopify.

[@ILPDMAB]

Slant 3D: the only filament manufacturer that can somehow survive with crazy turnover and never actually making filament 😂

[@fredshorrock377]

Thanks. I needed this info about etsy.

[@fred.c.johnston]

Great Idea!... I was wondering if you could post all the projects you fund, so we can all see them, and if we find any usable, we could also purchase to give each other an even bigger additional boost?

[@marcelizzi]

About Slant Print on demand channel: I don’t know what happens but all the videos have a very low volume audio. I usually watch on my tv. Videos from Slant 3D channel are ok at 30. To be able to hear something on Slant Print on demand channel I need 80 or more.

[@Werdna12345]

It might be an issue with needing an audio compressor. If youtube detects a high audio spike it will lower the level of the whole video especially for TVs

[@marcelizzi]

@@Werdna12345 you’re right. I tried on my phone and the audio is fine. I will update the tv software and try again. Thank you

[@alexkwilliams]

what ai sites allow me to upload my 3d model for product photos ?

[@TheOneAndOnlySatan]

Oh boi iam i gonna miss use this 🔥

[@mashreve]

Got a question for you: are y'all removing comments that reference a shop name? I have seen a couple references that no longer show up in the comments - including my own. Not sure if it's YT or a choice that y'all have made. Either way, really appreciate your content and industry insight/experience!

[@fabianluethi03]

Do you have multi material printer?

[@antongoulko6641]

You mentioned standing on the sholders of giants. Maybe one of the topics should be, who are your giants that you stand on? or basically who's technologies, hows best practices do you utilize to make your business sucessful

[@fealXX]

Sounds like YT properly borked the Sound of your Upload. Thats Hard to Listen to.

[@gobiwankenobi]

Gabe, will you guys be offering the same review/purchase offer for Shopify stores? Just put mine live for my little product and would love to get feedback on the product, the printing design, etc. Going babysteps at the moment but it's continued 1% improvements every day. I wish I could use your print on demand plugin service to open up USA for me (once I get settled domestically in Aus), but my build volume is too large at this time for your farm. I don't necessarily need you to buy one in any case, I'm more interested in your insights on the product and the build of it as a 100% 3d printed, practical piece of equipment. That is worth much more than the sale.

[@slant3d]

We have Shopify reviews going into the slant print on demand channel

[@James-un6kx]

You are beasts, thank you

[@andrewlongfellow8745]

So I just tried out the print on demand app to get a sense of your prices. I think prices to print are super reasonable. However going to price the product to sell on Etsy seems hard. It's possible I'm using the wrong numbers but I think I'd have to price my product very high to actually make any profit off of it. Would you be able to do a video on pricing a product based on printing from you guys and selling on Etsy?

[@slant3d]

Check out podcast two weeks ago

[@azalea_moon-kee]

10 minutes of tough love from Gabe... But, oh so true. Model others...copy what they do. Pioneers get eaten. Be in the 10th wagon train westward. Not the first.

[@teckougeki]

The problem is all my relatives live outside the states. So who will I ask to buy an item? 😂

[@raphofthehills4405]

Yes, copy... "Logan Paul" 😂😂😂 Sorry, couldn't pass this outated cultural ref of yours. Waiting for a few of his court sentences... Love the podcast. Thanks for sharing, educating, inspiring people !

[@SneakyJoeRu]

Emailed you with my thingiverse and a question. I'm not a businessman, but I think it's a helpful "invention". Please respond and let's see where we can go? I know it's not really designed for mass production yet.

[@fra5715]

Yo👋

[@charlesaol]

I'll be a bit pedantic today. Meta is playing fast and loose with the expression "digital twin" here. These are high-fidelity 3D models at best. A 3D model may be part of a digital twin but they go deeper than that. There is nothing in what meta is doing that hints at a digital twinning application. It's virutal reality stuff and perhaps generating models for 3D printing.

[@BenoitPerocheau]

Have you seen the news ? Bambu is giving money to his creators for exclusivity , it’s huge, like KZbin back in the days it makes careers as a creator more viable.

[@slant3d]

Thangs

[@BenoitPerocheau]

@@slant3d I mean thangs is great, I truly love it but Bambu do it for free for the users and already have an integrated ecosystem.

[@BenoitPerocheau]

@@slant3d I love thangs as much as the next guy but makerworld do it for free for the user.

[@bce.gatien]

beautiful mic, it would be better if it was plugged-in

This guy is a scam artist

[@RomeshEtulgama]

Voice is okay, the echo is disgusting 🤮 *Echo or whatever the robotic sound I hear

[@CheezeCurdler]

You cannot purchase, or have family members or curated purchases on Etsy. That breaks TOS. That's a quick way to get banned.
