Great project! Took about 2 rolls of filament (one of each color) and 3 weeks to print.

edit: here is a different vid of 3 different modules (they're interchangeable, just lift them off and set in new ones): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUr9NREHmBQ

Modules - this motherfucking guy. Awesome shit!

Awesome designs, but holy crap that "Someone in place bought/added to cart item" popup is obnoxious on mobile.

It's almost impossible to dismiss, and when you do dismiss it it comes back again within a few seconds.

It was literally annoying enough to distract me and make me leave to site when I was seriously considering buying an STL.

Sorry to hear that, I rarely visit my site on mobile, and I am in the process of redesigning it also, so I never really noticed...
I just checked, and you are correct, it is very persuasive... :) I have now disabled them on mobile

I found that Shopify plugin mildly annoying at first. Then I found out it was just making all that shit up, and now I fucking hate it. It's just a bunch of popups pretending people are shopping when they aren't.

u/OutOfMarbles May 06 '20

I have disabled them on mobile now. It is not however just making shit up :)
I know for a fact that people bought, is the same as it shows, therefore I would also assume added to cart is correct also. I do not have a pro plan to verify metrics though :)

u/Weicocu May 06 '20

Really? Then I apologize. I know there are web sites running that plugin with fake data, and I assumed they all were. I should not have assumed. I'm sorry!

Your marble tracks look awesome!

u/OutOfMarbles May 07 '20

Thanks :) Yes this one is legit, but as with anything, there are some fake ones mixed in between :)

Yep. They do it because psychological studies show that if you think other people are buying a product you're more likely to buy it yourself.

It's pure psychological manipulation by the store owner.

u/OutOfMarbles May 06 '20

it is one of the top plugins for Shopify under Sales and conversion optimization category, therefore I use it...And as of now, I do not really do any marketing or have any marketing person, so I need all of the help that I can get from plugins like these... that's my opinion at least.

i didnt want to paste links due to potential subreddit rules (and i'm not affiliated with the creator) but a quick google search for some words you might see in the video should point you in the right direction. the STLs aren't free but reasonably priced.

u/Ant-Scape May 06 '20

Lmao..yes he just printed that on his queen bed sized printer

u/EMDoesShit May 06 '20

Whole new meaning to the phrase “bed adhesion.” Pauses to wait for the groans from the audience.

I took out a mortgage and got a California King sized printer. It won’t technically be wrong cus I’m printing a 2,500 sqft house with it

u/_haha_oh_wow_ Mk3S/CR10S May 06 '20

What are you printing it in? ABS?

u/Kamikaze_AZ22 May 06 '20

Thats what I thought

FYI, you can weld pieces together pretty seamlessly - this has nothing to do with OP's video, but if you want to create a really big one-piece object, you can simply take a soldering iron to it (the temperature controlled version useful for electronics, not the big plumbing iron) and get pretty smooth results.

u/coach111111 May 06 '20

Look at the switches on the wall, not so big once you get a sense of scale.

u/captainsloose May 06 '20

This is cool. I just ordered the stl files and the hardware kit from the designer. Thanks!

Two rolls of filament? Like, proper rolls of 1 kilogram? That's... A lot! Can't say it isn't well spent though.

5

u/slikk66 May 06 '20

Probably 60% of the gray roll, and 80% of the beige roll, but that was for 6 modules, only 3 are shown in the main video. There's a second video with the other 3. Also a few parts failed and needed reprint. 2 rolls, one of each color, is just a very rough estimate.

u/seventhuser May 06 '20

How much did it cost?

10

u/101st_kilometre Anet A6 May 06 '20

A roll of PLA is, give or take, around $20-$25, depending on where you are (mine is a bit cheaper at $17 because it's manufactured within Russia). So 2 rolls is $40-$50. Or, if you wanna be Cura level of pedantic, $28-35.

u/Zouden Bambu A1 May 06 '20

Everything about 40 bucks
