20 minutes?? For research & ideation, 2D drawing, 3D design, test printing, product photos, documentation, publishing, and marketing? Wow that's impressive, man!
@kevbot. I thought you were pretty clear on your title to the video. As it says "designed", not what this person was mentioning researched, ideation, product photos, documentation, publishing, marketing. The design itself took 20min which I can see.
@@spider2021well, the designphase isn’t only the cad-part. everything that‘s happening to finalize the product is part of the designphase, so the title is simply wrong.
@rontz I guess that all depends on how you interpret the word "design". I wouldn't consider publishing, photos, marketing and documentation part of the "design" process, but that's just me.
@@spider2021 design has a pretty wide definition, of course, but if you‘re working at the product, it‘s in the designphase. That includes test-prints. Product photos and marketing etc are not included, as the product is finished before.
May I ask how it's going so far? I've been selling models for a long time now but I haven't been able to really take it serious as I don't really come up with good ideas. I roughly made $25 by now which is alright, but there's room for improvement. I'd love to see an answer from you!
If you convert your image to .svg with one of the many online conversion tools, you can import it directly to Fusion 360 and extrude it for the original solid object instead of doing all the tracing work.
I'm trying to learn Fusion 360 to create something, but I find it quite complex. I admire those who can make something with this software. I will look for a tutorial or course on UA-cam.
Please give me a link for the software you used, I want to learn it but I can’t find a tutorial since kinda all 3D modeling softwares have CAD in name so I don’t know which one
now i want a 3d printer, i have adhd and it would be so much fun to make creative things and share with others. You gained a new sub, you seem like a cool, nice and interesting guy! I look forward to see more of you! Keep it up man!
Hey man, As a designer who make logos & graphics for 15 years like the one you used, It's just sad to see you used it for your profit without the designers/illustrators permission, I understand that you just do the same thing like any other seller, but it is wrong and cannot be justified just because other people did it too. Your own design is not too bad, you just need to refine it little by little and you will get there eventually, it's just like what other designer experience it, they don't always come out great in first try. Maybe for you it's nothing, but my designs was stolen numerous times and i lost a lot of money because the thief sell them for very cheap price, even giving them out for free in a facebook group. At that time my son was sick and i was hustling here and there just to survive. They do it for almost two years and my income was barely covers groceries. i got depressed and almost commit to *%@! myself. Maybe you want to contemplate for one or two minutes before you execute, and remember small thing like that could be impactful for some people.
I understand where you are coming from but like I said it was just a reference image. What I didn't show in the video was me modifying and making changes to the image in photoshop. The end result was different from the original. As for you getting your designs stolen, that is very unfortunate but I'm not sure how that pertains to me. Its not like I'm reselling the logo. I modified a 2d image for my needs and then turned it into a 3D model. Which I didn't even list for sale. You can download it for free, it just so happens that I was able to monetize it from Makerworld points. Lastly, I completely understand the hustle and I understand how much it takes just to survive nowadays. It not easy, I understand that but having a victim mentality is the worst thing you can do. Stay positive my friend, work hard and good things will come your way.
@@kevbot.please be more clear about how you end up “your own” design from some internet reference. What you did in this video is very misleading. Without reading this comment, people could take it wrong way and think it’s ok to take other people’s design and start making money.
You get points when you upload models to MakerWorld and when people download them. Then you can redeem the points for giftcards. I have a whole video on it, if you want to learn more, titled: I got a free 3D printer in just one month using MakerWorld.
which softeare you used to create cad model? is 3ds max, maya are fine options to staert with? or i have to learn a new 3d cad modelling software from scratch?
I used Fusion 360 in this video, but I mainly use plasticity now. I've never used 3ds max or maya so I can't speak on those but my advice is to use whatever software that works best for you to start with.
"After a week..." 4:50 This contradicts the story told in "I tried Selling 3D Files..." In that video the croc file did not sell and had to be given away for free. Only made a total of $12 selling other files in that 30 days.
True, I did only make 12 dollars at that time because I didn't know about Makerworld. Once I posted it on Makerworld I made 100 dollars in gift cards in a week.
@@kevbot. So is makerworld giving you those giftcards or are random people who REALLY liked those clips giving you it? Like seriously IDK who would spontaneously donate $40 bucks to a stranger because they modelled a crocodile chip clip. Is your makerworld account clearly associated with you channel because that might also have something to do with these "Donations"
When using the student version of many cad softwares, you are not able to sell any design commercially. Does this way of monetization get around that, since the models are not being directly sold?
"I'm not the best at drawing." Better than me, I can't draw a stick figure correctly anymore. Good video and a few interesting tips. Found ya from Once in a 6side.
Thank you! I'm going to start releasing design videos shortly, and maybe a course as well. What modeling software do you use, if you don't mind me asking?
I print in my laundry room and attach a venting hose from my printers to the ceiling exhaust fan. I definitely wouldn't recommend printing in your house without some sort of exhaust system, especially with toddlers. I had to learn that the hard way when my son was born.
@@austinpaps Getting an enclosed printer like the Creality K1c and add additional filters with active charcoal to it (like the bento box or the nevermore) couldn't hurt either.
Very well done! I would love to see more videos like this, highlighting the entire design process. I think creators should do this more often! Also, one question: How do you brainstorm your ideas? Moreover, did you get a degree in engineering? Thanks for reading and the amazing video!
Thank you! I'll definitely make more videos like this if people enjoy them. To answer your questions: how I brainstorm ideas is quite hard to describe. I mainly just look at lots of other popular models and see if I can combine ideas, create something similar, or add/ improve a design. It's a lot of connecting the dots based on what people have already shown they like to download. Hopefully, that makes some sense. I might make a video about this in the future. Also, I don't have a degree in engineering; I'm strictly self-taught. Thanks again for watching!
Yes, I definitely do, and I can help you go in the right direction, but can you tell me more about what you are selling? Are you selling physical products or digital products?
yes fusion is not for free for commercial use ;) and he clearly used it to design product for sale. Anyway...he stole drowing (maybe bought commercial license for it but didn't show and mention this on movie) and copied idea of someone clip design...xD you just messenger up with at least 3 commercial licenses and tell us that you design something? XDDD
So basically you stole somebody's idea, then you stole somebody's crocodile design to make your product and you monetized it Borrowing ideas isn't bad on it self but combined with stealing art from random image found on google in my eyes makes this basically IP theft, yes you added a functionality to the design but without the original creator of that art permission i wouldnt say that this model belongs to you
That's how most products are created, improving and innovating on other people's designs. The image was just a reference; I made changes in Photoshop and to the 3D model, of course. The 3D model is completely different from the original image. By your logic, lots of 3D modelers would be "stealing." Just look at all the Pokémon, Disney, cosplay, and Mario designs out there. Not to mention any other designs that use a reference image. (Which is a lot.) Very few models are truly unique; inspiration has to come from somewhere.
@@kevbot. The video gave an impression that you didn't change anything when it comes to the image and simply imported it to fusion also i dont agree, there's a big diference between tracing somebody's work and basically extruding it with minor changes and having a reference, the later involves creative changes to the design EDIT: if you have changed the og image then i obviously have no problem with the video, its just that the video gave me a wrong impression
No worries; I totally understand where you are coming from, and it's not your fault you got the wrong impression. I didn't mention using Photoshop in the video.
I was honestly going to download your model to figure out the mechanism and try to make one for myself/ my kids.
That's awesome! Give it a try, I'm sure you could come up with something awesome. It just takes a little of trial and error.
20 minutes?? For research & ideation, 2D drawing, 3D design, test printing, product photos, documentation, publishing, and marketing? Wow that's impressive, man!
I guess I should have been more clear about that. I was referring to how long it took me to design it in CAD.

Good point, I decided to just do it manually because I photoshopped the image slightly.
My daughters loved these crocodile clips!
Awesome job, really well done. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I wasn't sure if this video would be well received, so I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you for making this! Starting to learn fusion 360 now myself :)

If we design 3d model product. What's the plateform to sell it.

@@kevbot. thx, I’ll research in those
So can I follow your steps with the same image and post it to get gift cards ??
