Printytron

Amen!

Exactly! 100 percent.

Glad to hear! Please leave feedback any time you have it!

I am planning to keep it up and yes it's been quite an expensive 24 hours.

Please let me know how you go with your print. If you have feedback, reach out. You can reply here or use the feedback button on the site. Thank you!

Thank you, might be sappy, but this means a lot. I've spent a lot of time optimising specifically for quality and speed.

I don't want to make a product that I wouldn't use, and I sure as hell don't want to put my name on a product and show it to the world I wouldn't use.

If you hit bugs, general weirdness, models that don't do well, or have feature requests, please submit feedback with the feedback/bug buttons. I WILL look at them and almost certainly will address them.

I hope you printed this. XD

Thank you for sharing and the kind words. Im making this purely for the love of the game, making a product people love and get value from. I know I hate signing up just to try something, so a loginless option was a natural choice.

If people won't use something free, they won't pay. If people won't use something without registering, they certainly will never pay. Fast way to know if I'm making a product people love and use, remove all barriers to using it!

I love this story so much! Exactly why I built this! I'm going to have to go look at your traces to see your workflow and how you prompted to get what you needed.

Yeah, I'm currently working on how to get other export file types. I want to avoid charging for the service directly and try monetize through printing services or something if I have to monetize. But you're right, alternative export options might be a good premium feature of I had to go that route.

Sure. Here it is: https://printytron.com/m/85mm-rod-square-drop-on-sleeve-y7sy

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! Please let me know if you have any feedback or hit bugs.

I've found printy works best if you prompt her like:

1. Situational context (eg: my kids pull the toilet paper and it free spins till the roll is empty)

2. Specifics (eg: my roll holder is 9mm in diameter and 10cm long)

3. Desired outcome (eg: I want something I can clip on it to add friction and slow the roll down from spinning)

This was very unexpected to wake up to this morning! I'm seeing about 10 to 20 times the traffic I normally would.

Please if you have any user feedback or bugs or feature requests - let me know! I'm listening.

I'm just trying to make a product people love and delivers value.

And if you find it useful, please share it with a friend.

Thank you! This makes me happy to hear! I'm trying to make a product people love!

Thanks! Well, it had previously been about $5usd a day. Until today and this post... So far in the last 24 hours I've auto topped up while I was asleep 4 times and spent $170 bucks on inference alone.

The complexity of the model does heavily influence the cost. Some models can cost me at little as 7 cents to generate. Others can be a couple bucks.

At the moment I'm focusing on user experience. I just trying to make a product people love as number 1 priority. I'm constantly trying to improve the speed and quality of the model outputs for user. Thankfully, optimising speed helps bring costs down as a side effect too!

Heya! Thanks for the useful set of questioning. I hadn't seen earthtojake/text-to-cad, looks cool I'll have to check it out. I approached creating printy to solve the problem of friends and family wanting me to print "something" for them, but them not knowing CAD or how to search thingiverse or whatever.

The other reason was, I like to do woodwork or other physical maker hobbies, but going and trying to hack something together in tinkercad to use in my project would end up burning hours I could have been building.

Ideally, printytron solves those.

I've been doing some work on file types recently - I'm hoping to give more support for different types, to allow you to do exactly what your describing. Do you have any specific file types you're chasing?

As for the production parts question, I'm not sure how to answer that. Because I suspect you and I have different definitions of production parts. At the end of the day I'm working on Printy for the love of the game. I just want to make a product people love using and is useful. (Hence leading with entirely unlogged-in experience first.)

You're right, it's something I think about too. I'd like to implement some kind of feature that could help prevent or at least highlight gen'd models easily when uploaded to other places if they are low effort. But I'm focusing on improving model quality and trying to get eyeballs at the moment.

Thanks! I assume that was just something to test Printy's limits? Otherwise I'm curious what you might do with a printed MURA mask?!

I love that! I'm glad! Let me know if you have any feedback or some across bugs.

You and me too! Of the two primary user problems I made printytron to address, this is one of them.

Any time I'm making furniture or some workshop project, going and using CAD just burns hours if rather be in the workshop.

I hadn't see this before, super cool. I'll have to check it out.

I might need to implement a NSFW allowed mode and a private gallery...
