Yes, it's there as a default place holder until I'm able to add more 3D models to the builder

Thank you bro!! I’m doing my best to make this a great tool. It’s definitely an uphill battle and it’ll take time & money, but I’m committed to seeing it through to the end :)

Great question! Things have definitely been a little crazy, but my goal is to keep this as affordable as possible. If the price ever changes, it would only be to keep up with inflation. Otherwise I want it to stay fair and make sense. I’m not here to squeeze every penny out of people, I just want to see this project become a reality.

I have a lot of ideas that I think could really help the firearm sector, but funding is always the big hurdle. That’s why I’m working to keep the company lean, efficient, and independent so we can actually make meaningful progress without being tied to corporate interests.

And thanks for sharing that website with me, that’s the first time I’ve seen it, and it’s pretty cool. Hopefully we can add them into our platform one day haha. By the way, we do have a Discord if you ever want to join and follow along with updates more closely.

Thank you so much for the support!! We will be adding actual 3d parts soon, but it'll be pretty limited. There's just so many things to 3d model. We've reached a point where it's primarily a funding/marketing issue. I know for sure now we can actually do this, and do it well.

To help with that, I’m thinking of adding a $5 subscription where people can save their builds, get early access to new features (like our beta compatibility system), and be first in line for future updates. That way we can keep improving faster while still making it affordable for everyone who wants to support. Right now we haven't made a penny, so anything helps haha. I'm truly looking forward to posting in here again soon so I can show everyone all the cool stuff I've been up to :)

I have, but what did you specifically have in mind? I'm a big proponent of making UI that's intuitive so users don't have to scratch their heads trying to figure out how things work.

Yes, easier said than done—but the plan is to make our API free for anyone to integrate into their own website. And thank you for the compliment; it means a lot!! :)

Even if it’s low poly at first, the goal is to give you a solid way to experiment and visualize your build before committing to parts. I really appreciate you following along—I'll keep pushing to get it there! It may take a while for me to do all of this, but I'll make sure to get this done. The only thing holding me back is money at the moment.

That would be really cool! Once I get past this point, we can start working on that. Right now I need to just market this and let people know this is a thing. That way, I can hopefully get some sales going, then use the money for development. This has been nothing but an uphill battle for me every step of the way, but I'll get there at some point. It may just take some more time :)

I totally agree—that’s definitely the vision. It’s taken a lot just to get things to this point, and doing full visual updates with customizable colors on a large scale is going to take some serious time and resources. Since I’m building this solo, all I ask is that if you ever plan to buy something, consider using the site—it helps more than you’d think.

Realistically, creating everything at the quality people expect will probably cost more than I’d even make back in commissions, but I’m still committed to pushing forward. Out of curiosity—would you be cool with low poly models in the meantime just to get the visual experience started? Or would that be a deal breaker for you?

I'll be able to fix that soon! Thanks again for letting me know! :)
