I am considering business. What printer(s) do you use? What do you do to advertise? Where do your orders mostly come from? I would appreciate such information you are willing to provide.
Thanks!

are you going to start 3D-busiiness?
we've only a community in the local Social web, we show examples of our work there, and all orders come from it. Sometimes we use ads there in other communities as well. But actually "alive ads" (when people just tell their friends about us) work much better.
I am considering starting a business, or perhaps several if things work out. I am interested in producing a prototype for a product I think will be of great interest to home owners and would like to develop it and see if I can get some business. I am getting too old to climb ladders and wrestle beams into place with one hand while I fasten them with the other, and hold the ladder with my toes, but I still need to pay my way in the world, so I will sadly have to do work less fun.
I also get my work through word of mouth (when people tell others about me) so I understand that very well. I appreciate your kind reply, and see why you get business, the quality of the 'handass' guy looks very good.
Thanks!
it's a photopolymer 3d-printer, and its quality is really very high, detalization is super cool, and we can see even nails on his feet;)
We were the 1st to start this kind of business here in my city, and it was very hard. It's a little bit easier now, but not so much, we don't have a lot of orders any day. Sometimes it's really good, sometimes we have nothing. I think in bigger cities it works better, but here some people still can't get what it is, and how they can use this service, others aren't ready to pay the price we say, though it's not high, it's just normal for this kind of work. For example, how much is a HandAss price - what do you think? If we spend more than 7 hours for its producing + resin. To get this very detalization a printer works veeeery slowly and very carefully.
I have no way to guess at the price you need for your products, because I have no idea what the materials cost you, your power cost, or what it's worth to you to tie up your printer for 7 hours.
The trade off between speed and quality is understandable. I'll have to face all those demons when I manage to create a prototype and ascertain if I can make it at a price point people will be willing to spend. I assume it can be done, but the proof remains to be established.
ok, you're right, it's hard to guess it
it costs 15$, and most people think it's too much for it, because it's just a funny thing. Yeah, it's just a joke, but it includes much time for producing it, material + our efforts and our printers that have its pricer as well. Very few people really understand where from prices come out.
