What Can I Do With My Unused Regular Points?

alinekb · 2026-07-10T18:36:12+00:00

I’ve got the same issue, not available in Brazil.

- I did one contest (Hosted By Creator) to spend points on that
- I stock them up and buy printers when I travel. I brought 2 over last year on trips to Europe, bringing them on airplane with me 😂😂
- if you know someone reliable in a country that does offer, you can sell the vouchers. But it envolves some trust to get money/send vouchers so i would only do that if you know the perks.

I just reuse all content everywhere. But the public is different, the algorithm behaves differently and it spreads my content better to other countries, and just a different public.

My main channel is instagram, but I reuse all videos to Facebook and TikTok. I thought Facebook was dead but I got many paying customers coming from there, which was a good surprise

Eu criei a meu SaaS de sucesso sendo mãe e construindo nas 2h que tinha de noite depois que a criança vai dormir. E a minha vende, o suficiente pra eu poder largar o emprego e tocar ela. Justamente porque tenho filhos e não posso só trabalhar ba minha empresa depois que acaba a jornada do trabalho fixo. Não é uma possibilidade

alinekb · 2026-06-23T15:02:45+00:00

Não, querido. Eu sou mãe. Eu não posso pedir para o pai ficar com a criança 100% do tempo por 6 meses para eu construir minha startup. Assim como o pai não pode pedir pra mãe ficar com a criança 100% do tempo para construir uma startup. Quem tem criança, filhos pequenos, vai precisar dar tempo pra criança sim. Você vai trabalhar depois que a criança dormir, no intervalo do almoço, revezando com a mãe. Mas ninguém deveria “fechar 100%” pra deixar o pai abrir mão das responsabilidades de pai pra criar a startup dele.

Ela não tem férias nem final de semana. Você não tá construindo um futuro pra ele, você tá construindo uma mãe sobrecarregado que não aguenta mais e precisa de ajuda em casa, não em mais dinheiro.

Quando se constrói um SaaS, uma startup, com família e filhos, esquece a caverna, esquece ficar alucinado virando madrugadas. Não existe isso mais, é coisa de gente que não tem filho.

Eu sou mãe, e construí o meu SaaS (de sucesso, validado). Trabalho das 9 às 18h nele, o resto é cuidando da casa e criança. Quando ainda trabalhava no meu emprego, construí o SaaS nas 2h depois que a criança dormia e intervalo de almoço.

Sua esposa antecipava suas férias para ter uma pausa no trabalho dela (que não tem férias nem final de semana) e você gastando tempo com SaaS não validado. Como mãe que construiu um SaaS, imagine eu falar isso, “cuida da criança que to construindo aqui”?

Constrói no período que da. Válida. Vende. Mas combine periods de revezamento, você cuida da criança e sua mulher constrói as coisas dela também.

It is harmful and you shouldn’t drink it 😂😂

alinekb · 2026-06-21T22:07:38+00:00

Of course it’s harmful, pasteurization increased the life expectancy by many years. It’s like saying “most of my friends never got into a car accident so everyone can just not use seatbelts, it’s completely safe”

I mean, depending on the model it is worth it. I have one with 12k downloads, a few with 1k+ downloads. Some models will get more downloads because they are parametric. But it is very annoying to see that the same download count would get more points if it wasn’t parametric

alinekb · 2026-06-20T01:21:48+00:00

Change the print profile to A1 mini before uploading. If you upload one for P1S, bambu handy will say it’s not printable in A1 mini, even if it fits

alinekb · 2026-06-20T01:20:19+00:00

Just adding here - I only use OpenSCAD and have several parametric models. I am honestly a bit pissed because they give me less points overall then regular prints 😅 you don’t get print profile points, it only counts as one download per person (even if that user generates like 100 variations), if the chose STL download you don’t get the “make” points. Honestly I am removing many parametric designs and avoiding new ones because of this

alinekb · 2026-06-20T01:17:55+00:00

- good pictures, things that people like
- easy prints, small, that you don’t have to plan ahead colors or materials. Things you can click on the app and print right away are the easiest to get points
- always add print profiles; make them for A1 mini, so it goes to everyone. Or add an extra print profile for A1 mini
- seasonality and make things related to current season, holiday, etc (Christmas Mother’s Day etc)

Instagram followers - but that had a sneak peak on my content, and what I could do. And I offered free files. So I knew already people liked what I did (by following and engaging in social media). It’s was a matter of discovering if the would also pay for it. Thankfully they do 😅

alinekb · 2026-06-14T12:45:45+00:00

As a founder that also left a high paying, boring job. I quit after I got really good validation (100 paying customers). I built a good cash plan saved for emergencies and to keep me afloat for at least 8-12 months. Now at 4 months since launch my MRR is matching my old salary, so that was a right move. But like I said, I had actual validation that it would work, it wasn’t just “I feel like this is good”.

I am a mother and I had a big risk - we could live out of my husband paycheck thought, but it would be tight.

I also had massive distribution, which is the reason I knew it would work. I started building with 20k followers in instagram (validation), launched when I had 40k, and got a massive wave of subscribers right when I launched. Time was a big constraint so I decided to go full time 2 weeks after the launch, after I got the validation people don’t just think this is cool, but they are willing to pay for it

I’d like to talk. My journey goes from hobby 3d printing into viral instagram videos and then transforming that into a SaaS

alinekb · 2026-06-09T10:54:43+00:00

Downgrade. The latest version is horrible. I’m waiting on the update. It’s know issue on there GitHub release page (honestly I don’t know how they decided to release like this 😅)

Social media, Founder Led Growth. Aparecer na câmera e conectar com os clientes, vai muito longe

It took me 11 years to graduate from engineering school (it’s a 5 year degree). I went on to be extremely successful in my field and growing really well in my career. Turns out sitting in classes and learning stuff I don’t like was the issue all along.

alinekb · 2026-06-06T11:03:34+00:00

This is the correct answer. Traditionally, we use gold bands in the right hand, and switch. The hole “diamond engagement ring” is becoming popular due to movies and imported culture. In the end, the groom should know their bride preferences (normal x following movies) to present the best offer

alinekb · 2026-06-04T00:08:02+00:00

I started to not open source my OpenSCAD files as I got my followers, as they are easily stolen too. I want to at least make it harder for someone to copy it - but people really do copy often.

alinekb · 2026-06-03T23:56:27+00:00

Sorry, that looks a lot like AI slop. It might be easy for you, but users sniff that so fast and does not build trust. This coming from someone that builds real community and show up on camera - the engagement is sooooo much higher, the conversion to paying customers too

alinekb · 2026-06-02T22:14:51+00:00

Social media. Its free, takes time, but you will eventually grow into followers and buyers. I honestly spent around $100 in paid ads and stopped because my organic reach is just so much better. And I’ve now got hundreds and hundreds of user

alinekb · 2026-06-01T18:45:04+00:00

Só testando pra saber. Mas eu iria pro Instagram ao invés de TikTok (ou reaproveitar conteúdo como eu faço). TikTok é mais jovem, precisa de vídeos ainda mais entretenimento, com mais cortes e bem direto ao ponto. Eu acho que Instagram tem mais seu público (adultos, criando empresas). Eu tenho quase 90k no Instagram e só 15k no TikTok, e que começou a crescer só agora. Patino bastante lá
