Slant 3D is also stepping in with OilStick sponsorship opportunities for creators who want an alternative sponsor in the 3D printing industry.This episode also covers major Teleport updates, including the new pricing algorithm, smarter backend slicing, new material options, Outdoor Performance Material, PETG-style functional parts, Hilbert curve surface textures, and future fuzzy skin options.Gabe also talks about OilStick being cloned, why copycats are inevitable in 3D printing, and why the real answer is to move faster, build better, and focus on action instead of outrage.If you care about 3D printing business, print-on-demand, creator sponsorships, product cloning, or the future of open 3D printing tools, this episode is worth watching.00:00 Intro00:41 Bambu Sponsorship Controversy03:48 OilStick Sponsorship Offer05:22 Full-Color 3D Printing Updates07:00 SlantBox and Teleport Updates07:21 Teleport Pricing Algorithm V209:52 New Teleport Materials10:23 Outdoor Performance Material11:07 Hilbert Curve Surface Finish13:45 Smarter Backend Slicing14:27 Possible Open-Source Tools16:45 OilStick Got Ripped Off18:37 Why Copycats Do Not Matter24:40 Competition Is a Distraction26:42 Right to Repair and Bambu31:08 Why Online Outrage Is Not Enough34:26 Stop Whining and Build Alternatives36:18 3D Printing Laws and Real Action39:29 Real Alternatives to Bambu43:17 Business Opportunities in Bambu Backlash45:05 OilStick Creator Sponsorship Program46:50 Take Real Action in 3D Printing49:30 Next Week’s Interview Preview49:51 Outro🔗 OTHER LINKS 🔗Get $10 Filament: https://tinyurl.com/bdcjjc9mOur CAD Software (Use Code "Slant3d" for 10% OFF): https://tinyurl.com/pc2r8wcvGrease your Printer with OilSticks: https://tinyurl.com/5ftna32sAbout Slant 3D🏭 High-Volume 3D Printing: Scalability Meets FlexibilitySlant 3D's Giant 3D Print Farms that utilize 1000's of FDM 3D printers working 24/7 to offer limitless scalability and unparalleled flexibility.
