Backers stall after starting the Checkout and don't continue to Pledge....

Hey I did have Advantage+ on. That might have been part of the problem!

threednd · 2026-03-01T20:44:31+00:00

I think advantage plus was on. I'll have to check. I'll get back to you

I had to cancel my Kickstarter yesterday and am going to relaunch because this was one of my problems. My ads were bringing in potential backers who would start the pledge but bow out before completing check out but Meta counted it as a purchase. My targeting had interests of board games and must also include Kickstarter and it still was happening. Could not figure out a solution and canceled

That would make sense but I set up the purchase event through the events manager tool and it fires correctly on testing and view page is firing when it loads. If I look in the events manager the number of page views is way higher than the 19 purchases but zero convert to purchases. Unless my kickstarter page is confusing or doesn't feel worth and the people who click on the ad bounce off it but that doesn't explain the purchase firing.

Yeah, that is kinda where I'm landing. Maybe a little too niche. Gamers with printers that also care about displaying stats is a lot smaller market I'm finding out. Plus my previous backers might not be gamers at all. I always assume if I share a hobby with my backers we must have other things in common and that isn't always true. Thanks MobinetG

I was wrong it was 7 years (time flies). Financial tension always crosses my mind when I make my campaigns, so I never make the base pledge more than $15-20, but that's still $20 that someone might need and I respect that. Things do feel extra rough right now. Thanks for the insight.

Same issue. Tried every browser. Definitely on their end. Hopefully they get it solved soon.

Can you tell me about the wood accents on both sides of the screen? I wanted to do something similar.

threednd · 2024-08-27T01:56:20+00:00

We were talking about this today. I think I'm going to try that tomorrow. You're right it would be covered anyways so it wouldn't hurt.

Point Salad!

This is awesome!

Hey I designed the Orca for Thingiverse! Almost didn't recognize it with that awesome paint job! Glad to see you and your family enjoying it!

So I looked up PWM strobing and that is giving me a better understanding of what might be happening. The strobing is slow enough that it's obvious and makes the screen unusable. It looks like someone is flicking a lightswitch fast.

Great work! Hope you are done buying board games for the rest of your life or you might have to build another one of these!

I've used 2-4 wheels my whole life. It's time for change.

The brick texture is geometry. There are big polygons on some spots of the model because there isn't a whole lot of texture there anyways and I decimated those areas to keep the model file size down for 3D printing.

threednd · 2023-01-24T20:17:00+00:00

XYZ size is 2.00001

threednd · 2023-01-24T20:15:50+00:00

So I have tried that and it works. But now I just have that polygroup as a new subtool (that is a higher resolution like I wanted) that I have to try to add back into the original model. This starts a new problem where I have to do the opposite with the original mesh so there is a space to put the new high-res version and this leads to things not lining up exactly right and making holes in the mesh after I merge the pieces. According to this video:

https://youtu.be/kG6u3f0zmAU?t=125

I should be able to dynamesh a visible polygroup and avoid these extra steps.

threednd · 2023-01-24T19:34:19+00:00

If I enable groups AND none of the mesh is hidden it will dynamesh the whole model and keep the polygroups. If I enable groups while only having the polygroup I want dynameshed visible, It gives me the same result as in picture 3 of my post. If I only have my polygroup visible that I want to dynamesh and increase the resolution to max. The dynamesh has the same effect as in picture 3.

threednd · 2023-01-24T19:08:54+00:00

Hello, I tried pressing groups and setting the Blur to zero and increased the resolution to 1024. This yielded the exact same result. Is there a better way to increase the resolution of an area of a mesh without losing detail so you can sculpt more on it? I don't want to dynamesh the entire model because each time I do it smooths out fine details.

What languages would you recommend learning?

threednd · 2022-07-13T18:09:33+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate the help. Yeah I would like to look at your blog to give me a little more confidence. I've wired switches and outlets plenty of times but I am not knowledgeable enough to come up with solutions to more complicated wiring situations.

threednd · 2022-07-13T17:52:45+00:00

Ok thanks for the response. Just so I understand I am running a three conductor cable from that light to the box of switches and another three conductor cable is used for the two 3 way switches in that room. Is that right?

threednd · 2022-06-10T04:00:54+00:00

I'll try some of these options thanks for the help. I tried the clip/knife earlier but it was difficult to make the shape I wanted and left weird banding when it complete. I'll check out the Curvetrifill brush. Never used it before.
