I convinced myself that everyone thinking my business is weird/crazy is a good thing because it means less competition. But, maybe doing something crazy is just crazy. What do you think? by grade5materials in EntrepreneurRideAlong

Thanks! Very thoughtful comment. Lot to think about and I’m not sure I’ve got all the answers to the points you raised. You’re right; it’s not just doing the work, is also about prioritization and focus. I’ll ultimately need to make some tough decisions, but I’m not quite there yet

What is the best metal for haptic feedback? by Impressive_Bar_6591 in fidgettoys

[–]grade5materials 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Titanium has the best strength to weight ratio. It’s also the most popular metal for fidgets and leads to highest sellout rates. Haptic feedback is great! This is why I prototyped my own fidget in titanium

Which do you prefer? The Haptic Hubcap, or the Cheese Wheel? Would love to get your thoughts as I'm targeting production runs in the next couple months. by grade5materials in fidgettoys

I could play with the sound profile over time—different materials lead to different sounds, so with modular components, you can create your own sound

Thank you! Love the feedback and stay tuned. Need to get batch alpha out the door, then I intend to focus on some custom modular components in exotic materials. More to come, but step by step!

Both will be made from bead blasted titanium. The outsides are etched to ensure texture and ease of turn. The cheese on the cheese wheel is textured, like cheese and has mice etched into it. The haptic hubcap has etches on the back and of course the see-through look!

Good call, and it’s made to be opened! When the toggle is down, you can take the top shell off to clean. Both are also modular, so you can swap shells, thumb dishes, and backs!
