It's about the LONG GAME, Cultivating Growth!!! - Making Awesome 178

It's about the LONG GAME, Cultivating Growth!!! - Making Awesome 178

In a recent conversation a buddy asked me a question: If you cut open an apple, can you count how many seeds are in it? Of course you can, but how many apples will those seeds produce if properly taken care of? This is the concept of playing the long game when it comes to business. Invest in the growth of your team, your clients, your leads, etc. and watch your orchard grow! Topics to cover: Why should I be playing the long game for sales? Why not just get paid and move on? Why long term clients are better than short term. AND MORE!!!

Importance of Product Testing with Nero3D!! - Making Awesome 175

Importance of Product Testing with Nero3D!! - Making Awesome 175

Product testing is how you find flaws, get user feedback, and make small iterations before a product goes live. It is PIVOTAL to do it correctly or a potentially good product could be stifled by a bad engineering decision that was not found on initial internal testing. Both external and internal testing are important, and this week we have @CanuckCreator joining us to talk all about beta testing, our experiences with the @peopoly Magneto X, working with teams to develop both hardware and firmware and why this is incredibly important!


Topics to cover:


Essentials in Product Testing

What are the benefits of Product Testing

What are the negatives of Product Testing

Why is Product Testing Useful

What can happen if Product Testing is skipped or not thorough enough


AND MORE!!!

The HARDEST Thing to do in 3D Printing - Making Awesome 169 (nice)

The HARDEST Thing to do in 3D Printing - Making Awesome 169 (nice)

3D Printing itself is not as difficult as you think, but we see a VERY common pitfall in 3D Printing: Design. The tech around printers has gotten SO GOOD, but the learning curve for design is still pretty vertical.


Knowledge bases are seemingly always outdated and getting started is daunting and with programs like @adskFusion changing their UI often, even tutorials a few months old are not very useful.


So, let's talk about this, and how we may look to solve it, because unlocking your ability to #3ddesign will unlock your ability to 3D Print without frustration!


Topics to cover:


Why design is so hard

Limitations

Open vs closed source

Free vs paid


AND MORE!!

Makers Making Money!! - Making Awesome 164

Makers Making Money!! - Making Awesome 164

Recently I was on the  @1440Makers  stream in their Makers Making a Living panel alongside  @cocoapress308 ,  @printedsolid 's David Randolph,  @3DPrintingNerd , and  @MChrisP1  of  @_3DPrintopia  where some really fun and interesting stories were shared about some of the trials and tribulations about trying to make a living as a maker. I figured it would make for a solo show as well, but if you all like this topic, we can definitely look to book a couple of the other panelists to get into the nitty gritty! Topics to cover: Pitfalls you did not see coming. Pitfalls you did see coming but fell into anyways. Why it matters to really understand your numbers. Shipping, and why it sucks.

Patents in the 3D Printing Industry. The Right and Wrong!! - Making Awesome 163

Patents in the 3D Printing Industry. The Right and Wrong!! - Making Awesome 163

Patents, a dirty word in the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing industries for hobbyists, but as you get closer to professional and industrial, they become a part of doing business. You can use a patent in a way that benefits a community as a whole or as a way to stifle competition and maintain market superiority. Let's talk about how patents can protect innovations and drive growth, particularly for small businesses transitioning from hobby to full-time ventures in the 'making' space. But there are some potential drawbacks, including limitations on creativity and the risk of stifling industry-wide innovation.


Topics to cover:


How patents were originally intended

How patents are currently used

How the PTAB has hurt small inventors

How to use patents correctly

Why patents are often used to hurt rather than help


AND MORE!!!

ERRF is REBRANDING for a GOOD REASON!!! - Making Awesome 158

With the conclusion of the East Coast Rep Rap Festival 2023 a name change was announced. ERRF will now be called @_3DPrintopia which has some of us feeling both good and bad. The name makes sense, it is easier to explain, but is this the writing on the wall for REP RAP, or is this simply just a branding move?


Topics to discuss:


Why branding matters

How a bad brand can hurt the cause

Why a rebrand is tough

Why a rebrand is sometimes needed.

Why I think ERRF rebranded to 3DPrintopia


AND MORE!!!

Contracts Matter! - Making Awesome 157

Contracts Matter! - Making Awesome 157

Contracts. No one likes them, some, recently of course, decide that they do not matter for them, and violate the deal. This is bad. Let's delve into the vital role that contracts play in our personal and professional lives. Join us as we explore why contracts are essential for clarity, trust, and legal protection in various contexts, from business partnerships to everyday transactions. Specifically Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA) and Media Embargoes have been at the forefront in the 3D Printing industry as of late. These agreements matter and allow companies to not only market and build hype but limit when content creators and journalists can publish videos and reviews.


Topics to cover:


Contracts in Business

Clarity and Communication

Enforceability

NDA vs Embargo

Common Pitfalls


AND MORE!!!

Marketing. The thing that most makers say they hate or they are terrible at. I feel this. Let's go through best practices, how you can be unique, and how you can stand out amongst the competition.

"I WILL JUST FIX IT MYSELF" 3D Printing and Right to Repair!! - Making Awesome S3E51

"I WILL JUST FIX IT MYSELF" 3D Printing and Right to Repair!! - Making Awesome S3E51

Right to Repair is a BIG deal and 3D Printing is an industry where the "Fine I will just do it myself" kind of people will thrive. Giving control to repair back to the consumer turns the normal game of cat and mouse for parts around on the manufacturers, with some taking note, and others pushing back. 3D Printing shows that with a few hours or less on CAD, some filament and/or resin, you can solve a lot of problems around your house and feel empowered by not relying on companies to sell you the parts to do it. It is an awesome feeling, so lets talk about it!


Topics to cover:


Origins of Right to Repair and why they matter

How 3D Printing naturally compliments

Limitations of 3D Printing in repairing

Intellectual Property Issues

Sustainability

Manufacturer pushback

What can WE do to make a difference


AND MORE!!!

PRICING and Why You are NOT Charging Enough! - Making Awesome S3E32

PRICING and Why You are NOT Charging Enough! - Making Awesome S3E32

This week let's talk about pricing! We often get comments about how to price a product, a job, etc. Valuing your time is incredibly important and most do not value it enough essentially working for nothing trying to compete at the lowest cost. Often, the average consumer is not your customer, especially if you are looking to take this hobby and go full time job on it, so, lets talk all about pricing and why it matters so much more than you think!


Topics to cover:


What is a reasonable price to charge for your time?

Why is it reasonable?

What is unreasonable when it comes to pricing your time?

How much should you charge for 3D Printing?

Should you compete on price?

What if you are not the cheapest?

Pricing for your target market!


AND MORE!!!

The State of Open Source - Making Awesome S3E31

This week let's have an extended talk all about Open Source, @Prusa3D , @BambuLab , @Creality3D , and others.


The impact of our recent video (https://youtu.be/fTsmf8GrNpI) has sparked some conversations that I think bear reason to continue, in an unedited, live format.

Topics to Cover:


Open source vs Closed source

Bambu Lab Vs Prusa

Bambu Vs. Creality (and others)

Why Open Source Matters?

How Closed Source can be better

Why Makers prefer Open Source.

Intellectual Property

Patents, and how they can be both beneficial and problematic


AND MORE!!!

Common Business Failures and How to AVOID THEM!! - Making Awesome S3E29

Common Business Failures and How to AVOID THEM!! - Making Awesome S3E29

This week we are talking all about failure. Yes, it happens, and it is INCREDIBLY common in businesses, especially new ones. Some failures are common across any small business, others more focused on the #makerbusiness. Let's talk about them, how to see them before they are a HUGE issue and then how to prevent, and deal with them should that arise.


Topics to cover:


Lack of market demand: A business may fail if there is not enough demand for the product or service it offers.


Poor management: Incompetent or inexperienced management can lead to poor decision-making, inadequate planning, and insufficient cash flow.


Insufficient capital: A business may fail if it doesn't have enough money to cover its operating expenses and stay afloat.


Lack of differentiation: If a business fails to differentiate itself from competitors, it may struggle to attract customers.


Failure to adapt: Businesses need to adapt to changes in the market, customer preferences, and technology. Failure to do so can lead to obsolescence.


Ineffective marketing: Even the best products or services won't sell if they aren't marketed effectively. Businesses need to have a strong marketing strategy to reach potential customers.


Poor customer service: Customers are the lifeblood of any business. If a business fails to provide good customer service, it may lose customers and harm its reputation.


Economic factors: Economic downturns, recessions, and other external factors can negatively impact a business's profitability and viability.


Competition: Competition can make it difficult for a business to attract customers and generate revenue, particularly if it's in a crowded or oversaturated market.


Supply Chain and Scaling issues: Keeping a flow of supply can be difficult as scaling occurs keeping the business from growing as it needs to.


Pricing: DONT BE TOO CHEAP!!!



AND MORE!!
