Let’s talk about ethics as it relates to running a 3D printing business:
One of the biggest aspects of this for me is making sure that the object I’m printing for my customer is the highest quality possible. Sure, I can print something and it’ll be ‘good enough’ but is that ethical to sell? I don’t think so.
—> Claibrating filaments, prototyping and testing is critical to selling ethically.
See example: the left object in each photo is printed using incorrect calibrations. The right object is correctly calibrated. This results in a smoother finish and a much nicer product for the customer.
Thought: Sure, you can buy the cheaper version of a 3D printed product online, but is that maker centering ethics and customer care in their business model? I do. :cat_heart:
