    I took a different approach to this video to hopefully give a little bit of insight into my thought process behind prototyping and launching a product. Let me know if you guys enjoyed it and if you'd like to see more video like it on the channel. Any particular topics you like me to sit down and explain?!

  • @remsta118
    @remsta118 3 роки тому

    Mate, I am looking at the Glowforge exactly to do this. Some questions
    1. I saw your image of the table prototyping, so obviously the table is much much bigger than the Glowforge, so how did you get all the pieces made on that one single piece of wood?
    2. Where do you source the wood and other things?
    3. Where or how did you design the actual bottom of the table, legs and underlying grid?
    4. Did you print the underlying grid too?
    5. what is the purpose of the intake slot on the printer? do I need the pro or is the plus enough?
    6. I am assuming you didnt just get huge amounts of wood and run them through the printer?
    Thank you!

  • @ebyvids

    The amount you raise on Kickstarters is not the amount of money you "made". Subtract costs from revenue to calculate the amount made (or lost). Viewers thinking about launching a business should note that Kickstarter is a useful market for determining larger consumer demand, but you're not ready for that lesson yet.
