Sponsor Kickstarter? Please stop watching and listening!

Many people want to buy a 3D printer on the Kickstarter fundraising platform, instead of asking the FLUX team, why ask me instead? (It seems that it specializes in acting as a 3D printer agent)

The most frequently asked question: "Would you bet your money on Kickstarter? I usually answer: "I'm poor, I can't even eat, and I don't have much spare money to gamble." "Of course, there is a more lovely hypothetical question:" If I give you money, will you put it on Kickstarter to buy FLUX3DPrinter? " I jokingly replied, "I'm kidding. I finally received the money you gave me. How can I buy my dream online? "? I'll save it for lunch. 」

Yes, most of the projects presented on Kickstarter's fund-raising platform are just great innovative design concepts, but don't forget that most of the photos or videos posted on it are unfinished virtual images, just virtualizing creativity through imaging software. Just like in the movie "Transformed Gold Steel", many blasting scenes of buildings, vehicles and planes were not shot by real objects.

Just like no one should believe that many photos of public figures circulating on the Internet are really bold to show to everyone in public? Anyone who knows how to use Photoshop and other drawing software can turn conservative stars into * * *, and even swimsuit photos and fashion photos into * * *. These software operation skills are a piece of cake for people who know a little about art drawing software.

Now, you don't need to spend money on professional 3D animation software to make it. Free 3D animation software can also be used to design virtual but realistic images, which makes people mistakenly think that the projects on Kickstarter's fund-raising platform are mature technologies that can be commercialized.

Therefore, it is necessary to properly evaluate the investment risks sponsored by Kickstarter. The process of each project on Kickstarter's fund-raising platform is just like a good creative invention can be patented after being put forward, but not every invention can be commercialized after obtaining a patent certificate.

For those who want to use Kickstarter's top product "Fresh Machine", one thing needs special attention: the target on Kickstarter's fund-raising platform is not like the feasibility of applying for a patent, which means that the project successfully raised by Kickstarter cannot be delivered on time.

As it turns out, many Kickstarter fundraising projects have passed the expected feedback date for a long time after reaching the standard, but there is no news, so there are no actual follow-up investigation reports on how many cases. Any product with a patent certificate cannot be guaranteed to be commercialized within the validity period of the certificate. How many patents in the world have been successfully commercialized after obtaining certificates? The answer is: very few.

If you don't believe me, you can check the proportion of patent research in industrial research institutes, industry and academia that can be commercialized or transferred smoothly. If these ideas have been patented by experts and have legal effect, but not all of them can be realized and sold as patented goods, I have reservations about whether the projects successfully financed on Kickstarter can really get feedback as scheduled.

Remember, spending on Kickstarter's fund-raising platform is a voluntary gambling behavior, and it is a personality trust for strangers. I'm not sure whether this kind of investment behavior is guaranteed by transnational law enforcement. Even with the express provision of protection, whether the fundraiser can fulfill his promise after the fundraising is successful has become a major concern of the promoters. If you encounter this kind of misfortune, you have to spend more money to ask a lawyer to cross the ocean to file a lawsuit. Is it worth spending more money to recover this little money?

For a hypothetical example, I believe many people will be attracted by the scanning and laser engraving functions of FLUX3DPrinter. For example, the function of laser engraving module is not powerful enough to cut metal bond, and this kind of laser engraving non-cutting module is not expensive.

The news reports a few years ago mentioned that "the laser reading head on the CD-ROM drive was converted into a laser gun". How many parts does a CD-ROM drive have? What is the market price? The laser reading head on the optical disk drive is a mature modular component. This low-power non-cutting metal laser head can only carve the wood surface. How high can it cost to use it on FLUX3DPrinter?

Before the actual test and use prove that the effect is excellent, I wish you success but thank you! Just as many scholars and experts boasted about Facebook's unlimited business opportunities, gave lectures everywhere, and asked people to spend money to buy the knowledge of "getting rich overnight", how many people became famous after using Facebook for a while and made a lot of money? At the beginning, I spent a lot of money to attend classes and attend classes. Who really earned enough and became rich and expensive?
