as in, 3d phone cases and other things on the usual 2 suspect 3d machine ?

or has the ass fell out it ?

as you know, we pulled all 3d stuff ages ago, as it was just way to slow a seller for us....jeez we could watch paint dry till we got a sale for these things.
2d cases, were a different ball game.

and NO, we aint digging out the 2 egg 3d machines again.....securely in the cupboard never to see light again, until i take a notion for it ;)

Too many high street shops and very low cost ebay chinese..... people are happy to wait weeks for a £2 case when you can't even buy it and post it for that.

I do know of a business doing very well on the 3d cases, they use one of the expensive machines, and get good money for them. For life of me I can't see how they get so many sales. Yes they are good at keywords, but nothing really magic, and their designs are alright, but nothing special. It has thrown me.
The two ladies running it are pretty much flat out and earning well. Alas as they were good enough to show me their studio, I won't say any more.

I have pondered often why they succeed......and I can't find it!!!

hiya ;)

"I do know of a business" note the highlight of the letter A ....

there are not many that are (judging by the lack of 3d phone cases on web sites ), then again, they wouldnt tell you if they were anyway.

pends on there prices as well.
if they selling same prices as the normal 2d cases, then yes, you will get sales...but way to much hassle for that kinda of money, no thanks

Yes, just the one!
But from what I saw whilst I was there, no hassle. Was I impressed yes. Did I go out and buy machine at £2500 before jigs.....no!

I am very much with you on this one....2d is fine.
