Big update. I’m rebranding this group from AI for 3D Printing to Business for 3D Printing. AI is still going to be a big part of what we talk about here. It’s not going away. AI tools, AI workflows, image-to-3D, STL creation, automation, and new tech will still be part of the conversation. But it won’t be the main focus anymore. The reason is simple: the audience for “AI for 3D printing” is still too small. There just aren’t enough people actively looking for that topic by itself. But the interest in building, growing, and making money with a 3D printing business is much bigger. And that’s where I can bring the most value. I’ve spent years in this industry. I’ve built and sold 3D printing products, grown communities, launched tools, created digital products, dealt with customers, pricing, marketing, Etsy, craft fairs, files, failures, wins, and everything in between. So this pivot makes sense. Instead of only talking about AI, this group will now focus on the bigger picture: How to actually build a better 3D printing business. That means pricing, bestsellers, niches, product ideas, Etsy strategy, craft fair strategy, digital files, marketing, AI tools, automation, and what’s actually working in the real world. The goal is simple: Help more 3D printer owners stop guessing and start treating this like a real business. Same mission. Bigger focus.

Hey All, just wondering about a different style flexi cutter, does Nikko have one for snakes that are spiraled, its a different style cutter to do similar cuts as Nikko's Mushu on his website only snakes, I hope I am making sense I am never any good at trying to explain things

Here are the files so you can make your own pool noodle lightsaber. Video coming out today Just wanted to get you guys ahead of it

So here is my 1st flexi, that flexi cutter was a great investment, Thanks Nikko and Thanks everyone for all the inspiration

Hey everyone — quick update I’ve been working on behind the scenes. STL Buddy just got a pretty big upgrade. We now have two full customizers built into the platform: • FlexiMaker (custom flexi animals/dinosaurs) • Mandalorian-style helmet customizer And just to be clear — this was always the vision. STL Buddy was never meant to just be an image-to-3D generator. The goal has always been to make it as easy as possible for anyone to create their own STL files… without needing to learn Blender or CAD. That’s what these customizers are. You just go in, click through options, and build something that’s actually yours. Both tools are completely free to play with. You can go in right now, test combinations, experiment, and see what you can come up with. If you want to download your design: • FlexiMaker = 10 credits per download • Helmet customizer = 30 credits per download And for those of you who plan on actually using this consistently: There’s now an unlimited option: • $20/month → unlimited downloads for both customizers • $60/month → unlimited downloads + commercial license (so you can sell prints) If you’re into 3D printing, this is honestly one of the easiest ways to start creating your own products without spending months learning modeling software. Go mess around with it. Curious to see what you guys come up with.
