You don't give Tangled enough credit. I have used many brands of filament and Tangled performs better than the best of them. The biggest difference is that I get almost ZERO stringing with Tangled while my go-to name brand will show noticible string on the same model. I do hope that you will offer the clear again. I have some really great ideas for that. The prototypes came out great.
Tangled filament might be "potatoes" but it sure is some tasty ones! In all seriousness, I managed to get a bunch of rolls of the 850 from your first run and it's really nice. I find myself saving it because it prints so well! I would LOVE if you offered that material again!
@@gabebentz5986 I recommend hex cause you can include very cheap allen wrenches, I also recommend a wider and thinner head when possible, this allows for more surface area to support the fastener and being thin allows the fastener to be recessed/countersunk without having to make a deep hole that reduces part strength. For the 1/4 20 thread stuff, this selection is very important, ideally you could get something captive (that is, a narrow shaft between the head and the thread), with a D ring loop that can be unfolded and used to drive it by hand, alternatively a thumb screw. If you want something more versatile for the 1/4 20 you can get just hex heads then designers can add a part that turns it into a thumb screw.
@@gabebentz5986 whatever you choose I recommend staying away from angled countersunk heads, if a design requires a fastener going parallel to layer lines this fastener could easily destroy the part.
I am unsure as to why cults3d doesnt have a Print-and-ship feature, since they offer selling your model on their website it would make so much sense to have a order printed part feature either directly from the designer or through a service like slant3d
I've printed using Tangled filament with "Very Good" results i.e. "Excellent Results" using a (Print Quality/Cost) metric (Both PLA & PETG) Even with the weird surface texture of the Blue Glut PETG is prints w/o issues 100% of the time for the first kg or so. I will be reaching out re series A.
How can i invest? is it possible for me to throw $1000 in ? wait so i dont even need teleport right now, i can just use the etsy plugin? what is teleport then, for the other marketplaces??
They've a video that goes into detail but basically: etsy plugin was their first attempt, using a very specific website with very specific parameters to make the problem simpler. Then the Shopify plugin built on the etsy plugin, expanding their base code. And then this let them figure out how to do an app that would work with *every* marketplace, and that's Teleport. But changing all the etsy and Shopify stores during the Silly Season would be foolish, so right now they're leaving those two apps alone. Gabe said in a previous podcast that etsy and Shopify will be migrated to Teleport sometime in the new year. I *think* they said they're not accepting new signups for etys or Shopify, but I don't remember with certainty.
@@Luke-p9p My understanding is that there will be various levels (aka "tiers") of service available, and the base level of "we print your file and put it in a box" will always be free, but some of the extra services will have a subscription cost attached. I don't think they've released any specifics about what the tiers are, what exactly will be included in the base level, nor what the extra services will be or cost. But, the answer to your question is "yes, there is a way to not pay a monthly subscription for teleport." Now, most of this video was talking about monthly subscriptions for *Tangled,* the low-cost PLA, and if that's what you're asking about - well, I'm afraid I've no answer there. I suspect Slant3D doesn't either since they're not ready to make the formal announcement yet. To be clear, I'm not part of Slant3D in any manner, I just saw the question and wanted to help out with the information I got from the videos and Gabe's comment here.
@@davydatwood3158 Ok thank you very much that helped. I can't seem to find much information about teleport where did you see this information? Sorry for so many questions and again thank you so much.

Tangled is still US Only, is that going to change any time soon?
I hope you get a response from Shapeways and got some deal. You deserve at least a pitching opportunity! You are doing solid work!

Please please include metric fasteners in 3rd party parts.
Especially M4 for VESA stuff. You'll probably also want 1/4 20 imperial fasteners for camera gear.
What type of head?

Tangled Filament has been excellent for our pre-production work and is fine for everything we do. It is predictable. That matters a lot to us.
Are you going to have a Canadian distributor if so when?
Will you be shipping to other countries i.e South Africa?
It always surprises me when I'm reminded America doesn't do Boxing Day... anyway, Happy Solstice, everyone!

Teleport has more features and colors and will continue grow. Etsy is frozen.

Is there anyway for me to not need to pay the monthly subscription for teleport just incase nobody actually buys my stuff?
Teleport will always have a free tier
@@gabebentz5986 What do you mean? I don't understand

And a series A is???
I would join membership and subscribe for black PETG
So the great sell-out begins
The series A is selling out?
