If I understand, you use the same machine for both materials and one of the most critical factors is switching materials. How about a alumide-que? Once ot twice a month piled up orders with alumide will be printed, and the machine serves for that purpouse these days. The rest of the month, it will be used for wsf. If there are too many orders piling up, then regulate by pricing... and put it in a alumide piggybank for a dedicated machine
 It might not comply with the 10-day-to-your-door policy but at least it would be possible to print alumide parts if neccesary. Just an idea, as I have no clue if that would be possivle.
I like your idea Marcus! Please stick with Alumide, even if the turnaround is longer than the other materials.
Marcus & Ivo,
Good idea, I will ask if something like this is possible. Generally though we are complexity adverse. Even something such as this would make our ordering and fulfillment process much more complex and this is expensive and expensive is not what we want. But, I will see if this can be done.
Thank you for considering it. It was just an idea, and I understand that it makes the ordering more complex... But if Alumide could return on a regular basis, that would be awesomly awesome
Another way could be to simply allow ordering during the period you decide to devote the machine to alumide and close it during the rest of the month, that way you can still technically comply with the 10 days policy.
Jose,
good idea, this is exactly what we are considering. We could do the first week of the month every month until the demand get's so big we can dedicate a machine. In this way we can still keep our order process simple and you guys now when you can expect Alumide to be available. regards, Peter
Speaking of ordering before it is too late:
I hope "until the 14th" means that we have today as well? I am working like crazzy to get stuff done for alumide printing, and its almost 5am here now. A few of the things I want to print in alumide is Han Solo in Carbonite, a car emblem replacement, lost shoe decoration replacement, a logo for a quadrocopter company and some other stuff... Even though the models are all done now, I need to get some rest and throw the order together in a few hours...
Hi Marcus,
yep it includes today. Good luck with getting things ready. Peter |
