- Today we are looking are ONO / OLO 3d, a wild resin printer that promised to use your phone to cure layers.
The project got over 2MLN $ in funding but never hit the shelf.
Some lessons to learn. Do the opposite to not fail in business.

After the Creality CR-6 SE campaign I will never back a 3D printer project again. I will wait for it to come out normally through a store after its been thoroughly tested and proven.
100% with you man!
Wow. I'll be careful next time I want to back a product. Makes you wonder if that was there plan from the beginning.
Hard to say if it was planned, certainly outcome has been disastrous. This and other failed projects plummed 3d printing companies reputation on KS
I´ve learned the KS lesson the hard way. In 2014 I pledged for one of the first DLP resin printers. They delivered the hardware but it was completely frustrating, a totally untried beta version which needed to be connected to a computer during all the printing process. It was impossible to integrate the arduino MC, the projector and the laptop. An awful nightmare.
I feel your pain, hasn’t changed much since then. I hope manufacturers become more accountable on these platforms..also because recovering from bad publicity is quite upstream
Got your book in Kindle.
Thanks Patricio! Hope it will give you insights and ideas for your 3d printing venture!
I saw a few 3d printed products on amazon. They were all new products, which didn't exist in the “normal” market. Is it always like that?
Do You know any examples of 3D printed versions of normal products which are selling successfully?
Hi! No, not that i seen recently. “Normal” products made with injection molding are made in ten of thousands pieces at the time. 3d printing is cost (and time) effective with batches under 1’000pieces. Unique, low volume or hard to make with other technology products are the best markets for 3d printed products.
@@3DPrintingForMoney yes, of course, great answear! one more question: is it a problem to convine to buy 3d prointed product? for example because of the uneven texture or other aspects? wow I just checked how much can it cos to produce 200gramm piece - about 20€ a little much
It could be a problem if seller sets unrealistic expectations and customer is disappointed. But if you iron out aesthetic issues (with good slicing and a tuned printer) appearance will be on the “minor side” of client’s demur
