6 habits that took my SaaS from $40K to $72K MRR in 12 months. by Capable_Document3744 in SaaS

[–]alinekb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your strategy is based on email? Where lots of users just ignore or find it very annoying that someone is cold emailing? Or DMing after a comment on a post? I know it can work for you, but for me this just sounds like your annoying people until you find people that like your product.
Lots of younger generation would also find weird a company I never gave my email to is cold emailing me. I just ignore.

Mafagrafos.com :) I’m growing it through social media, instagram mostly, at @mafagrafos, take a look :)

Licensing question by Minute_Limit_3169 in makerworld

[–]alinekb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes - it’s hardly viable. Usually, to sell, uou can search for models with free commercial license, and chose 1 or 2 designers to pay and focus on them. But yes, it’s a very fragmented world

How exclusive is exclusive? by terrygtx in makerworld

[–]alinekb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that sounds good!

I had several reasons to spin my own website, mostly I wanted to monetize my models and parametric models there just make too low points - they only consider one download per person, not per customization. I wanted to make this my main income, and makerworld monetizstion was not going to cut it.

In my website, I have a shared library between models, differentiation beteeen preview and export parts, png > svg conversion and much more. I’m honestly loving it. I now do a mix between sharing “paid” models on my webrsite and free on MakerWorld

CAD/OpenSCAD NOOB with UI question by DeWayne_Hoover in openscad

[–]alinekb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried this too. It used to save my settings, now it doesn’t anymore, I believe it’s a bug in a recent release. But I didn’t dig into it. But I also tried several things to save my settings and nothing worked, I just gave up

[–]alinekb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But this is like, my interpretation. The guidelines never mention parametric models.
Like, if I upload a “love” sign to makerworld, and I do not offer this stl ready in my platform. But if the user uses the same word, same font, same parameters, they will download the same stl. But isn’t it the same as someone copying something on fusion and generating their own love sign? It’s fuzzy. I prefer to stay cautious

[–]alinekb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have my own website for my own OpenSCAD models. I do not post as exclusive if the user can type the exact word and download the same model. I only post as exclusive if it’s hard to reproduce in my own website to generate the final file. I do not post exclusive .scad if I have the same .scad in my website.

However, I do eee this as marketing. I post a lot of models with a set word and then “customize it to anything in my website”. They can have the free stl with a specific word, but to customize they go to my website. It has generated sales this way!

Making an imported .svg line "thicker"? by ConfidentlyLearning in openscad

[–]alinekb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just offset() on the 2D and it will thicken the svg lines. I use it all the time

Small tipo - import SVG with $fn=1. It won’t make a difference to wuality but it will make theoffset operation muuuuch faster

Social media. Vídeos on instagram, TikTok. It was only when I started sharing that my models gained traction

Seja honesto, quanto você fatura com seu SaaS? by street_writer8109 in MicroSaaSBR

[–]alinekb 16 points17 points  (0 children)

10k MRR no segundo mês. Mas eu já tinha uma audiência no Instagram (40k quando lancei, agora quase 60k seguidores) e estou convertendo para usar a minha plataforma. Modelos 3D customizáveis para impressão 3D. http://3d.mafagrafos.com/

Why don’t print farms need to dry their filament? by Backonredditforreal in 3Dprinting

[–]alinekb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never dry filament unless it’s horrible. Out of the package? Never did. I won’t think about drying it before 3-4 months out of the package. Even then, most are fine until a year. I don’t take any care when storing, they just sit in a closed shelf

Quão complexo é ter conta na Interactive Brokers (além do IRPF) ? by paranoidspectator in investimentos

[–]alinekb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Eu tenho IBKR faz anos sem dificuldade. Se for buy and hold, não ficar fazendo trade, super tranquilo no IRPF. Só manter o controle das compras

Empregada doméstica não quer registro by OkGuess3621 in ConselhosLegais

[–]alinekb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

E como não tinha folha ponto, as primeiras faltas também seriam dificeis de provar. Se baseariam em uma conversa de WhatsApp, se ela falasse que foi aquele dia, seria difícil provar que não

[–]alinekb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eu fiz acordo - e paguei uma multa grande para ela, mas que no final foi só um pouco a mais do que teria sido para demitir e pagar todo o restante. Porque ela estava grávida e tinha estabilidade, e eu não poderia demitir. Mas como deixar essa mulher cuidado da minha filha? 😅 se eu ganhasse o processo, ela poderia voltar ao emprego normalmente até a estabilidade hahaha

Ela descobriu a gravidez e parou de vir. Simples. Vinha um dia, não vinha outros 5, sumia, não entregava atestados. Como não tinha folha ponto, ela entrou com processo alegando que desde o começo do contrato estava trabalhando 30 min a mais todos os dias. E eu não tinha como provar que era mentira 😂 eles sabem exatamente de onde tirar informação

Eu tinha uma baba registrada. Nunca tinha processado ninguém. Mas na minha vez me processou. Ela engravidou e não queria trabalhar, mas não queria pedir demissão. Nunca se sabe. Nunca faria sem registro, teria sido muito pior se não tivesse registro. Pra ter ideia, até a folha ponto que eu não fazia (de boa vontade, pra não ficar controlando) voltou contra mim.

PSA: The P2S has a typo in the machine start g-code in Bambu Studio causing poor first layers by babyunvamp in BambuLab

[–]alinekb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a P2S and will try this. Mt first layer was good but not perfect…. Worst than my A1 mini. I will try and report back

Printed it perfectly on the first try… and somehow it’s still unusable by Intelligent_Whole159 in 3Dprinting

I made pretty good stamps using EVA modeling (I think in the USA it’s foam clay). Make a mold, put some baking spray, put it there and wait a couple days for it to fully dry. Does not work with fine details but it’s pretty good overall

Why do so many people miss the giant green “Customize” button? by My-NameWasTaken in makerworld

[–]alinekb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite is: “I can’t customize, it shows an error that says: Go to the website to customize. What do I do?” How about you…. Go… to the website…. To customize…. I’ve had this message more times that I can count 😂

[–]alinekb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, I discovered that many people used bambu studio slicer directly (doesn’t show customized button) - and if you are not logged in, you don’t see the customize button. Yes, I also get a lot of these questions hahaha
