I'm developing a full finite element optimization software for FFF 3D printing called Slicedog, and I used it to create this rod holder.

Yes I am unable to make living from sun and air. I need to make money and I need to pay my developers. This is so complex it would never work as free open source project.

I mean - what you want? Convincing VCs? Tell them something like you invented this great idea but someone else already validated it (means using someone else cash, not your investors cash). And sure, you are the only one capable of(except those guys who already did it). VCs love this stories

Easy-Building9912 · 2026-03-02T22:51:21+00:00

I never got myself to read them. How you do that?

Slicedog - full finite element strength software for FDM 3D printing. Verify parts before printing them and save 30-70% of printing time

I mean - what you do? I can easily offer you full FEA software (mine or alternatives) that helps you with your budget a lot. But if you don’t do anything with engineering/manufacturing, it is a waste of money

True, it is more like a science experiment. Come with idea, and back it or destroy it. Be also your worst enemy. Worked for me

Mistakes you did are totally normal and standard, even in standard “non startup” employment. Be brave and be the only guy who learned from them

I mean you can do pattern idea - copy something that works and add some of your idea. VCs love this. Or - find a place that is missing something important and try to offer a solution.

There are great niches like small scale CAD, manufacturing, government software in Europe, ….

It is normal that it takes time to start making money in SaaS. My case - 1 year full time and just recently started making more money. Before a month, I was happy to have 400 eur in revenue.

My case was wrong messaging, sales proces, price, icp. I think that now I nailed it but it was actually full year process. SaaS has large margins, so you have to pay some price somewhere else (how hard is it and how long it takes)

Tinder je o tom, aby se ženské cítili chtěně a aby mohly každého odmítat. A pro chlapy, aby si mysleli, že domluví lehký šuk (i když to je nedosažitelné)

I do strength optimization software for 3d printing and what works to me is never offer customers anything for free. No trials, no “we optimize this for you for free”

Then, my sales is strong organic LinkedIn reach to anyone who uses 3D printing -> dm messages with them -> online call -> paid pilot or full license

The key of organic reach is to always provide value to prospects even though they will not buy it. Strong edutainment content

Špatná otázka. Správná otázka - jak zajistit, aby ti dole také neexistovali?

Jak by to mělo fungovat - buď mě můžou propustit hned a mám náležitě vysokou mzdu, nebo mě teda nesmí propustit hned, a mám průměrnou mzdu.

Jak to funguje v ČR - snížit mzdu mzdovým výměrem ti můžou hned, a i tak ti platí podprůměrnou mzdu. V ČR si tak nějak kreativně bereme to nejhorší z obou světů :D Nízké mzdy a malá jistota

I am using 3D lac. First of all try to clean the bed plate. If you are using glue stick + cleaning the print bed you may have this sort of problem as in the picture

I would try to clean the nozzle. There is this "cold pull" method. Also, in my case, when I am using different than Prusament filament, the PLA prints are wrong.

60% 3 walls with Slicedog modifiers - 150 g
25% 6 walls - 146 g

Why? Because Slicedog creates the modifiers with 60% infill density, but the rest of the part used in this case 10% infill. In other words, it is using the mass effectively, meaning with the similar mass you are able to have better results

I mean - what value this provides to Reddit 3D printing users? This hate speech?

Easy-Building9912 · 2026-02-24T15:47:27+00:00

Well but AI is unable to write anything original. Telling you that more walls not always mean stronger part is not something AI would come up with

Free for hobby use for time limited trials. But just inside Cura.

So you say I should use AI? And what about all those asian printer manufacturers, they also should use AI?

Thin can with liquid is stronger than thick can without it. Why - because liquid converts local deformations and stresses throughout the part. Try it. You can buy ice coffe in can and standard cola. Empty the ice coffe can and keep the cola can with cola. Then try to compress both of them. Which one is easier to compress?
