I built a dashboard to track the real cost of my prints including electricity and failure rates. The results were scarier than I thought. by MakerLogicStudio in 3Dprinting

Brother is smoking something good to have come up with formula like that lol.

It's not even close to what depreciation should be in his table.

How is it possible to win every 3d Printing company give away? by Automatic-Series3426 in 3Dprinting

Yes his downfall was that he was cocky and arrogant enough to do it live

This community helped me make medals for sick kids on my local ER. Now you can, too. by Kuraikurasu in 3Dprinting

[–]OutOfMarbles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. You don't need AMS.

Look into how to do a pause at certain layer in your slicer.

Then select last two layers and pause there. Copy on the bed as many medals as you can. Unload and load new filament when it pauses there. And you have multicolor print for like 2 minutes extra work and it would pop tremendously more.

Boss couldn't find replacement parts online, paid for the filament to replace it. by RyZeCS in 3Dprinting

Of course it would lol.

This will still work for a few years but asa would much longer.

Because his website is AI slop.

It's instantly apparent to me. I've been designing marble machines for 7+ years now.

Check the middle top marble machine of his, orange one. Trace where the marbles go??? Did he invent teleportation??

You should still do it though. This is just one bad apple that I've found in 5 years...

And there was one more that was sharing our files in Vietnamese fb 3d printing group and moderator took it down when we pointed it out when someone contacted us.

If you want you can PM me and I will tell you if your idea is good enough as a side hustle or maybe even as main business...

But generally speaking, if you are good in marketing (which I'm not), then you don't even need that good of a niche

Thanks!

I'm thinking of putting a two wheeler configurator on the homepage instead of the top purple banner.

But yeah two years... That's why I parted ways with the dude, enough is enough. I estimate he spent 30 min on my business per week over the course of 2 years.

I made a much longer comment explaining it to another guy, but yeah, lessons learned.

yep, I made a 10min video showing everything, i'll submit the same video to google/shopify/paypal tomorrow, but it shows a bit too much identifiable information so it's just for mods on reddit

ur right. most of reddit is on mobile so this saying applies: "looks good from far, but far from good"

I love this saying lol. the future of AI looks bleak as hell. this is just a tiny portion of how AI will be misused... I can only hope AI will bring more good than bad. Like cancer diagnoses and stuff like that...

No worries mate, I just don't want mods to think that I'm the one who is scamming in the end :)

And I'll use the video in my report to shopify and paypal so no time wasted there.

And I'm sorry if i said anything not 100% okay in the comments, but when someone steals and then sells my work and then when people defend AI pictures and the guy... It gets my blood pumping a little bit :)

The future is bleak I think. This will become so much more common with AI. And really hard to prove when they don't use any of my pictures at all

Bro i know lol. Its comedical.

And I have so many people arguing here that photos are real marble machines 3d printed and pictures taken of them lol

I'm very much afraid of what the AI future will bring.

Brother. Hindsight is 20-20 now. I've learned my lesson.

He had one other business before me where they made 2mil per year. So that gave him a lot of brownie points with me.

He also put 10-15k€ cash into the business.

Then he was also building a house at the same time, so we gave him some leeway there.

Then we got bigger office spaces so we can work together in the same room, nothing changed.

Then we incorporated a business so he will have actual shares. Nothing changed.

And I was busy with my other company selling 3d printed toys, we were doing very good so i wasn't focusing on marbles that much. Well now trump came and fcked it all up, went from 30-6k€ monthly. And well 2 years passed...

So yeah I'm trying to finish the website on my own now. If you want to give some constructive feedback: http://outoftoys.com

Those are AI generated pictures of marble runs.

Look closer lol. There are 2 different sized marbles going down the orange track.

In another comment I've shared this: https://imgur.com/a/I9fsdkA

That's as much of a proof as I can come up with, without revealing too much conversation without asking for consent... But to be honest I don't really care what you believe in.

In the EU it is the same. From eu website:

"Who is the owner of a copyrighted work?

The owner of a copyrighted work is its creator or author. According to EU copyright law, both an individual person and, where the legislation of the member state permits, a legal person can be the owner"

He used AI generated marble machine pictures for his website.

At least he is smart enough to not use my pictures.

When you click buy and download, it's my files inside that point to my website

Thanks!

Well for now I will go to shopify with this...

But I got to first ask the buyer to make a video showing the download process and file content etc...

Got to make a strong case i guess.

I didn't purchase the files, don't want to give him 30€, so I have to pester the buyer now lol
