A good potential 3D business is certain materials for residential and commercial construction. For example, a crawlspace vent. You can have any number of SKUs and short lead times, so you could potentially get a competitive edge. So many other little things that could be done, clips and hangers and what have you. You just need to identify a need in the market with a complacent producer with few competitors, and go after it.
22:36 "Edison didn't get rich by making light bulbs, he did go bankrupt making light bulbs. He did get rich by making hundreds of things, go, start now, make hundreds of things"
10:34 "trade show not bringing in the sales which would offset the cost of attendance " - this is always the case for most trade shows for most companies these days - so a trade show is basically marketing only. And as Henry Ford already mentioned "at least halve of the budget for marketing is wasted - but you will never know which halve"
Avi was there, ive seen him in the Show. But they applied for the booth and they were planned to be on the Show. So as they cancelled the booth they built a Coffee Shop on their floor 😂
Hey, I love the channel. I was wondering if in your next vid if you could talk about copyright laws. I have an idea that could be great and could scaled, but I'm worried about others copying it. I predict that there will be a lengthy process to finalise and iron out the design, so it's not something that I would want to spend time if other just copy it for commercial purposes. What are your thoughts? Can I protect it from being reproduced by others?
I am not a lawyer, but I did work for 8 years for Alberta's Ministry of Justice, specifically in the Law Courts Library. So I feel that I have a better than average understanding of copyright. Here's a couple of things that are really important to understand about copyright: First, copyright laws vary a lot by jurisdiction. US law is not the same as UK law is not the same as Canadian law is not the same as Australian law, and we haven't even gotten into countries whose legal systems aren't descended from the laws of England & Wales. So something that's protectable in your country may not be protectable in another. Second, copyright laws are very much subject to the interpretation of the judge and (where applicable) jury. There was a three or so year period where a Stormtrooper helmet from Star Wars was a copyrightable piece of art in California (because a Californian judge said so) but was only a tool used to *make* a piece of art in England & Walks (because an English justice said so). (The E&W decision was eventually overturned and now Stormtrooper helmets are copyrightable in the UK as well, but that took time.) Third, no-one will enforce your copyright for you. It's not like speeding or actual theft where the police will investigate and the Crown or State will prosecute the infringer. You'll have to sue whoever infringes on your copyright in order to protect it. Which, if you want to actually *win* that case, means lawyers. Enforcing copyright is not cheap. Fourth, suing people in other jurisdictions is complicated. Unless the infringer lives in the same state/province/other jurisdictional unit as you do, you'll have to decide if you're suing them in your local court, or in theirs. Suing them in their court means hiring local lawyers, paying for hotels, potentially paying for international airfare depending on the location, risks that court deciding it doesn't have standing to hear the case, and is generally just an extra layer of PITA. Suing them in your court is simpler at first, but if you win you'll then need to apply to their local court to actually enforce the judgement. (This is what happened in the stormtrooper helmet case. A fellow in England who'd been involved in casting the helmets for the original movies was making and selling replicas using re-created molds. Lucasfilm sued him in California, and won; then applied for an enforcement of judgement in England and lost, thought they did eventually win on appeal.) Fifth, copyright protects specific expressions of artistic or creative ideas - that is, an object, or a song, or a story, or some other clearly identifiable thing that can be understood as the result of creativity. It does *not& protect processes. If your idea is a physical object, that can *probably* - remember I am not a lawyer - be copyrighted, but if its a method for doing something it cannot. In summary, then: copyright is not a magic shield. It can be used to protect creative ideas (and it's *supposed* to do that) but if you're relying on it you need to plan for the cost of suing people. Finally, copyright is a massively complicated area of the law, and if you need a real answer you should talk to a lawyer that specialises in copyright law. You'll call a professional to install a new furnace, rebuild your roof, or fix your car, and the same logic applies to the law: if you need a reliable answer, talk to a reliable and knowledgable professional. Also, given Gabe's opinions about patent law, I suspect his answer to "what about copyright" will be "it's not worth it, just make the thing and go hard."
Thanks for your insights. A couple of perspectives from an engineer who's seen more than a couple paradigm shifts over the years...and who has worked with AI since "classification" models were SOTA. - "Filament" is a paradigm that still has legs, for now. It's ripe for an upset in the next 3-5 years. - Design is great for sufficiently complex problems/designs. Simple designs/art are well within reach of current AI models and agents.
8:29 you are one of the only guys on UA-cam just telling basic relationships: "high interest rates hut them really hard" - like it did with halve of rhe world... But nobody tells it out loud ... Why???
Happy Thanksgiving-was-a-month-ago-why-are-the-Americans-always-late-to-the-party! :D And since no-one else has said it yet, Christmas and New Year's are Wednesdays this year.
Regarding your stance towards selling files, cinderwig, forgecore and co. make 100k per month without shipping any product just by subscriptions. If people want to continue to sell their products, they need the subscription, so she does not need to constantly release new products.
I recently just stumbled across a accidentally invention and it lets prints start at very high speeds like 200mms+. No glue nothing like that just a clean plate. I was wondering if this is useful
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
22:00 "if you are above average you beat AI" - thanks mate, so many insights...
Also, AI being average won't last long. But humans still have an edge in reasoning and other thinking processes for design.
We hope so

Quotables; "Just get good at something", and "Everyone's trying to selling shovels but there's no gold to be dug"
Bambu released a high durometer TPU at 68D Shore hardness for use in their AMS.
"Just post something!" Kind of funny you say that, cause I'm currently working on something that I'd like to post at some point :p

Selling machines, not solutions. All good products solve a solution whether a user knows it is a problem or not.
Gonna go out on a limb and say the podcast probably won't get posted on iTunes? I just wanna sync it to my iPod 😅

What kind of upset could you see filament experiencing?
My company wholesaled one of our 3d printed products for the first time Into a retail brick and mortar store last month, not a toy
Shoot us a link
Dang it, I just asked for teleport onboarding help in your previous video and then this one just drops!
8:29 you are one of the only guys on UA-cam just telling basic relationships: "high interest rates hut them really hard" - like it did with halve of rhe world... But nobody tells it out loud ... Why???
You are amazing - watching your videos brings actual ideas and products onto a path we as followers can travel!

No privacy or data policy for Teleport? Neither does the Etsy website. Not good for designers.

What is it
Just 5 minutes into the podcast and I learned a ton about the industry, business in general. Feels like sucking up a brain dump ... 😲🤩
I'm down for a Spotify podcast. Will give a listen this week
Can you recommend me a designer for something that I want to create?
They are very many designers on fiver, upwork
What is it you want to create? I design
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Don't know why I can't see my comment?
