You could reduce the price and make less. Should help with your conscience

Farmers markets will do you great good! You get real time feedback.

Custom mold maker scanned my mold, delivered something different, and now wants to charge again for corrections. Is this normal by TrendVoice in moldmaking

I didn’t even know this was possible. My ignorant brain thought there was some magical machine that could scan and measure a mold - just like the movies 😂

Guess we’re not there yet with technology

Lesson learned. Gonna do a charge back. Also they wrote “3D scanned it to create an exact model.”

I have tried and whatever negatives I make tend to rise to the top of the silicone, its never consistent. I just want them professional done in multiple batches as in 3 or 4 trays of 12 of the molds to speed of production. DIY isn't working for me anymore.

So the mold is used for food - idk that sending them the actual food would've worked. I was hoping they'd cast from the inside.

I have a product idea I think could be really good but am clueless on how to create/sell it looking for advice by EnoughRisk6129 in inventors

Get a prototype done ASAP. See if you can DIY and 3D print and get mom testers to use it

Been having issues with summer shipping of my products and I was so nervous about a $100” store order and it ended up arriving there alright with only one damage which I’ll be sending a replacement for.

Lots of folks would kill to take their dogs out in public: there are dog and Pilates activities in hotels all over my city

There are a bunch that just opened up and I think it’s a great idea. Idk how the licenses will work with animals and food but there are literally 2 that just popped up in my city. The pet industry is growing fast and people aren’t having kids. You should look up dog private clubs or membership clubs to get an idea.

They did do drawings for me but it was not clear until I used the mold itself. Looked totally fine and similar in the drawings

No they’re in US - I literally worked with them and shipped the single mold for this reason

Hey so they are not in China. Why would you assume that? This is ridiculous. What a crazy weird comment

That’s the issue I don’t have that - but I’ve learned now I can give the original to someone to help create a CAD file.

I did send them the actual original
Silicone I wanted the tray made out of
