Re: Which 3D machine is right for me?

Hi everyone!

I'm selling some designs of mine as prints right now and I'd really like to get into making them into phone cases as well. The problem is that I'm having trouble figuring out which 3D Sub machine would be best for me. I don't really have a budget, but anything over $2000 would be pushing it. I guess I'm just looking for something that is easy to use and understand and not super expensive. Something with a warranty/and or someone who I could contact in case something went wrong would also be nice.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Have you thought about outsourcing production to somewhere like Society6.com ?

I've found websites like Society6 or RedBubble are very pricey and the profit you make from each sale is pretty pitiful. I would much prefer to make my own and have more control over the price.

I wondered about setting up printing 3D cases for trade supply, wonder if there'd be much call for this?

I am in the middle of talking to a couple of people about setting up a trade supply.

I think there is more than enough room (even for two people "small" peeps like you and I Justin :-)) its just the admin/website work at the beginning that is a bit of a mountain to climb
