I took a different approach to this video to hopefully give a little bit of insight into my thought process behind prototyping and launching a product. Let me know if you guys enjoyed it and if you'd like to see more video like it on the channel. Any particular topics you like me to sit down and explain?!
dude i love this. this is definitely gonna help some people and it was very entertaining to watch even for someone who isn’t going to launch a kickstarter :)
Man this is really inspiring.. I’m a mechanical engineer who build oil and gas tools. I do have several patents but I never thought there is an audience who enjoy watching the cool inventions. I think I’m gonna get me a 3D printer start creating new designs. Once again thanks and I love your cool inventors
Biggest thing for me is when these big RU-vidrs show how to launch products like this but their popularity makes it a very different scenario than if anyone else wanted to do something like this themselves
Congratulations. This is awesome and I'm glad I've had the opportunity to see all your inventions from reddit/insta and youtube. Keep it up, and have plenty of fun!
I’m grateful for all these unnecessary inventions. But actually for celebrating with my family because in this point and time they are the most important
I think that is definitely one thing that hold people back but the odd of someone actually taking the time to develop someone else's idea is very slim - in that manner.
Can you make a series of videos of this entire process going into more detail with all problems you ran into, each video being one step? Oh and preferably using a 3d printer? That would be gold.
Machine looks cool, I'm definitely gunna look into it, More videos in this style would be really helpful. Maybe go into comparing cnc laser cutting vs 3d printing and how you pick what will work,
It’d be cool if you could put an image on each side of the puzzle pieces so once the table’s complete you get one big picture. You can then flip over the puzzle pieces and make a new image for the coffee table.
First time watching one of your videos and I really enjoyed you educating us on the whole process - more videos like this please! One 2 second video spot where you fed a large sheet of plywood through the glow forge taught me what was possible with that machine that I never realized. I went right to the site and started my research. Great job. You speak extremely well and do awesome editing.
Mate, I am looking at the Glowforge exactly to do this. Some questions 1. I saw your image of the table prototyping, so obviously the table is much much bigger than the Glowforge, so how did you get all the pieces made on that one single piece of wood? 2. Where do you source the wood and other things? 3. Where or how did you design the actual bottom of the table, legs and underlying grid? 4. Did you print the underlying grid too? 5. what is the purpose of the intake slot on the printer? do I need the pro or is the plus enough? 6. I am assuming you didnt just get huge amounts of wood and run them through the printer? Thank you!
For anyone who is ACTUALLY going to commercially use a laser cutter, I wouldn’t go for the glow forge, from what I have seen, it fails extremely easily.
Great ideas for the starting inventor!!!! You need to know what design/prototyping tools to use and where to go for manufacturing your idea.... Do more vids for the beginning inventors out here! :-) Thanks!!! These vids are great motivators!!! Mike in LA, Calif
Hey! I’m thinking about doing a Kickstarter and am at the ground floor. I’d love to know more about the experience in terms of preparation and strategy!
Great video! Always inspiring to see the experimentation and process behind the scenes. Would love to get my hands on a Glowforge, if only they shipped internationally!
You should do some tutorial style videos for 3d modeling and introductions into 3d printing for complete noobs. I love your personality and I would love to see that type of video from you if even in a second channel or something
Cool. I'd have to figure out if I was be able to teach my 3d CAD methods haha! I just learned from RU-vid so I think my methods are might sometimes not be the best. I hack away until I get the design I want.
@@UnnecessaryInventions I'd love to learn from someone who is self taught. Someone who was once in the place I am now, just wanting to learn without all the technical jargons. If you ever decide to make anything like these I'll be sure to watch them! Keep up the unnecessarily good content!
Hey! Not really sure if you check your comments, but I have an idea for an Unnecessary Invention you could make. A device to auto skip adds on RU-vid. That would be lovely!!! If you do, please let me know and allow me to get one!
Took the words right ou of my mouth(mind). He generated 100k in preorder sales. He did not make 100k. In fact most kickstarter campaigns do not make money. They aren't really there to make money. They are just there to test demand.
Hi Matt! I need a mentor and help! Can you or would you be willing to help me get started? Please! What masking tape do you use and do I need to use it with all materials??
Never heard of the puzzle desk, But do you mind if I try my hand at making and selling my own version? I am planning to hand some cash to a cnc manufacturer and this gives me an idea for something a little smaller that I can use to play around and both learn software and tweak feeds and stuff..?
The amount you raise on Kickstarters is not the amount of money you "made". Subtract costs from revenue to calculate the amount made (or lost). Viewers thinking about launching a business should note that Kickstarter is a useful market for determining larger consumer demand, but you're not ready for that lesson yet.
Really cool table :-) How do you make sure that a company or someone else doesn't take your idea and start manufacturing it themselves? Do you make a patent on your design?
Except...if you spill something on it, its going to seep into the cracks in the pieces and either drip down onto the floor or just make a sticky almost impossible to clean mess.
@@sethdrake7551 Unless you eat and drink on your motherboard I don't think your analogy works. Furniture is meant to be a practical. A table is meant to be a flat even surface that is easily cleaned. This is an art piece, it has novelty...its "neat"...but its not functional as a table and anyone who buys it will probably be getting rid of it once the novelty wears off.
