I only said the game needs to change, and well I think it does.
In many ways, but that is what I would call Evolution.
If you are calling it dif then you are just reading to far into it.
As if that was the Goal. GTFO.
Ill remove it all for you baby.
End result vs intention. TYL.
Iāll take an XL @bboybowzer
Thanks for getting these done so I donāt have sit next to my shitty printer.
Looks like I missed the drama while riding mtn bikes with my kid.
So, Iāve no horse in this race (and no hoyt st puck #flipshitVX2gangang)
But this line surprised me:
Even in MJF, two relatively small prints shouldnāt cost much in my experience. Now, maybe you used a small local shop, but I was curious. So I quoted 5x case tops and 5x case bottoms (around the min order at most big fab shops) of the batwing model.
Best pricing I found was at hubs.com (formely 3DHubs, now owned by Protolabs)
Thatās $18.61 ea to your door, in Nylon 12 black.
Again, you do you, but 3D is so inexpensive these days, thereās no reason anyone that wants one canāt get it direct from a manufacturer themselves.
Edit: oof, also I didnāt read all these replies. I was really just curious about the actual cost. No offense intended. Itās an important pt that someone would have to organize a small group buy to take advantage of these price breaks.
So far The feedback Iāve gotten outside the forum is too much for a 3D print even if itās mjf nylon. I thought originally this would be cool to do just based on what Aaron and I were seeing with the downloads and what not.
The pricing I got for these wasnāt that low and I placed orders via 2 different places. I probably should have just done a local run of the different colors vs these black ones. Oh well. They look cool and feel good in the hand vs fdm printed ones. I compared one with Aaron before I went to print more of them.
The locals like them and their fairly clean prints. Iāll just leave doing shells to the more well versed business people
It may actually be the easiest / most equitable solution to create a shapeways seller account. Then people can choose the color they want (or even diff material), theyāll take care of shipping, and you can hand out a link easy-peasy when people see your badass covers in person.
I also rock that keyword. Thing is rock solid
I wouldnāt give up, they look great! Iām sure there is a market for them. The people who have voiced their opinion have every right to do so, because this is a public forum and they are entitled to their opinion. Ultimately donāt stop doing it just because someone says not to. Nobody gets anywhere doing that. Just take peoples comments with a grain of salt weather good or bad, as they are just that, opinions.
As one who doesnāt have a 3D printer I think itās fair price.
I was going to get into 3D printing but I could not justify it as I have friends with printers that would print something If needed, and my needs are slim if any at all.
Even my other hobby flying FPV I still havenāt needed any 3D parts.
But my Mig welder is a different story that is something I use daily now doing metal fab on my 4x4.
Color MJF is margins more expensive than black/grey MJF. Itās exactly why DRI has a price difference in Black/Grey & Custom color PPB orders.
Not an apples to apples comparison youāre trying to make here. And to sell a product that you have to manufacture, someone needs 40-50% margin to make it worth their time, investment, and liability.
You guys talking about pricing need to do proper pricing research first, and then take the discussion somewhere other than someoneās sales threads, FFS.
5 years ago weād be paying 3-5x the price for the same quality prints. Perspective, the fact that we have individuals that can offer small-run custom designed remote shells printed in high quality nylon is something that should be applauded.
Please go try this. Itāll be the same price if not more than whatās being offered here, with less margin.
Better yet, anyone here complaining or challenging the pricing is welcome to go design their own remote shell entirely. The fact is that the design is readily available, for free, and anyone is more than capable of printing one for themselves without complaining here. Choosing beggars abounds.
nice job on the batwing! uwu
iāll take one! iāll send you my deets in the PMs?
What have you bestowed upon this land
OP isnāt manufacturing anything - heās reselling. Tell me Iām wrong, but no where did he mention he runs a print farm of HP MJF. And if he did, theyād probably be priced lower.
This is completely irrelevant. Especially when weāre talking about supply, demand, access, and sales.
Not OPās design. What are you even ranting about?
You guys must have missed the part where OP is working with the designer on this. Joint effort.
So, heās not the designer then? and the design is open source and freely available?
Tell me how this isnāt anything but reselling? Also, what your ranting about?
ITT: people complaining about pricing on something they donāt have to buy, and certainly donāt need to complain about given the ability to print or design ones own.
This is why we canāt have nice things.
@bboybowzer
Iām excited for my XL 
thank you for your awesome fitting session on deciding between the regular or the XL Iām taking the XL youāre one of the best guys on this forum 
This whole thread needs a joint effort
