Robot Unicorn [LASER CUTTER COMPATABLE]

<< < (2/2)

fromsoysauce:
Thanks, I've actually done a shapeways version of this character before:


As nice of a quality shapeways gives, it's simply not practical cost-wise for me to use it for making profit on toys. The image above coasted $22 and it's only 4" tall and 6" long. Cute but a rather insignificant size. Although it is 100% posable with ball and socket joints where needed.

But by using my local laser cutter technology, I can get the same character 6" tall and 10" long for a cheap enough price that I could sell them for a reasonable price: I'm thinking 12 to 15 dollars (If I was using shape ways it would probably cost me $60 to order the same sized figure, so I'd have to sell it for at least 25% more than that, and at that point nobody would buy it).

Though Do not worry, fairly soon I will learn how to use a CNC mill so that I will be able to make parts that have more depth to them, ie the way that the head looks in the shapeways print out.

Here is a video of CNC Mill in action, if your wondering:
