Back in the beginning of June, I wrote a blog post about how I scanned a Vertical Blind Valence Clip on my paper scanner and then imported into TinkerCad to produce a 3D reproduction. Well it got the attention of an online company that ordered 30 sets of 5 clips. They plan to sell them on Amazon. I would really like to have a second Davinci running prints but that will have to be financed from the first one. I'm hoping this will help.

It was not a quick process. I had to make a file that included 6 clips per session which was the most I could fit on the platform and still have some space. The print would take about 2 hours so I would run it around the clock including at night. On some occasions the print would get messed up and I'd wake to a massive ball of thin plastic strings. It was strange because the next print would run fine.
Clearly, a 3D printer is not made for mass production but I completed the task and shipped the clips. Hopefully they sell well enough that I get a second order. It may take some time but the Davinci 3D printer may not be just printing plastic, it may be printing the means to a second printer.
