Shine posted:$100 for a cupholder and some tiny food trays that will never be washed. And I think we all know there's a very good reason why the only thing they show in the "self-balancing" cupholder are 4 oz tumblers of orange juice and tiny paper cups of coffee.

 lmao it has a "charging port" for your phone but no internal battery and no way to connect it to a wall socket you have to connect your own lovely portable phone battery to be able to use it plus no normal USB port so you'll need to get special separate charging cables

Adding a plug and battery adds a bunch of cost and headaches especially for international sales. It's a sensible business decision but also Peak Gadget Kickstarter to sell a fancy box with some inserts any reasonably handy person could probably knock together an analog of in a afternoon and act like you're innovating

Here is just a great example of somebody knowing the Kickstarter market. Japanese Samurai Letter Opener  The traditional letter opener has in recent times fallen by the wayside, with the vast majority of users being collectors. However with the world becoming more connected technologically, more and more people are looking to older forms of communication to give it the more personal touch. Here in Japan however, letter openers are still commonly used. Opening a letter by hand can rip the envelope and if its a letter from a loved one or something important, ripping the envelope can make keeping the letter or card in perfect condition harder.  Introducing the Oda Nobunaga Letter Opener, the ultimate letter opener created by amazingly skilled craftsmen one by one! With one sweep of the letter opener you can safely open up your envelopes while keeping the integrity of the envelope intact, meaning you can keep your precious letters and cards for years to come! ************ And this seems like something that is useless for 99% of people but a great way to get arrested! CIZOR, a tungsten carbide cutting tool for every day use.  Cizor knives are crafted from one of the hardest man made materials in existence, tungsten carbide. You may recognize the compact and time tested form factor of the popular Tidashi knife. Carry it with you anywhere, held securely in its silicone cap. The back of the Cizor is a functional safety tool, which can break a car window in case of an emergency. I am also introducing a much larger pen size version and anodized aluminum stands for both sizes. Hub Cat has a new favorite as of 02:42 on Dec 16, 2020 |

It's probably fine for cutting packaging or paper but I feel like you should be getting more out of a 45$+shipping knife than I can get out of a 5-15$ utility knife I can buy at Home Depot and frankly I feel like it's probably not even reaching that level given the design. But fair enough if you want a really nice Xacto knife, the creator didn't go full  over-promising a ridiculous array of everyday uses on this one so it probably doesn't merit mockery even if the puppy rescue bit is silly.Anyway here is a mug that looks like a toilet with a reward tier of telling you how to business  :Flush Cup    Pledge US$ 50 or more 2 cups and our execution plan! Targeted toward budding entrepreneurs: Get two Flush Cups and we share our how we took an idea from water the cooler to design, logo, prototyping, mass manufacturing and spend time with us during a 45 minute meeting with a max number of 10 people per meeting. -During the meeting we will share vendor info for which companies we interviewed and why we selected them including fees and commissions rates. -Our excel used for budgeting to make sure if we did make our goal, not to be at a financial loss like other projects. -Answer any questions you may have to the best of our knowledge -Meetings can start around December/January but mugs will ship around April *Disclaimer: We understand that there are a tremendous amount of variables for each project and purchasing/attending this does warrant or make any guarantee of success or same % rates we obtained for this project.

dovetaile posted:Oh I have one of the Tidashi knives! It's pretty nice; I use it for cutting boxes at work. How does it handle against lovely stuff like blister packs, that amazon tape with fibers in it, and boxes with way too much tape? The form factor is really nice, but in my experience the best/most important part of a box cutter is a a full sized grip. So you can exert force without worrying about your hand slipping. A thin metal tube with a blade at the end seems like a good way to cut yourself if it catches on something and your hand slips down towards the blade. It looks like it would be a nice treat for yourself if you use something like an xacto knife at work a lot. Is it sharp enough that you don't need to apply much force for anything? I would not have wanted that when I worked in a warehouse and was slicing open shrinkwrapped pallets and poo poo baled with twine etc. Looks it would be nice to have for opening boxes that aren't taped up like a god drat mummy as if there is a bomb or drugs inside though. I might grab something like that as a pocket tool for my current job.

Serious answer: There's no way that it's as sharp as an X-Acto knife, Tungsten Carbide is extremely brittle by its nature, and creating that fine an edge on it would just be making a tool that chips the edge non-stop. I'd expect it to have a nice rounded edge, equivalent to, say, a dull kitchen knife. With the caveat that that edge will last almost literally forever, if not abused.

Man for the 30(?) dollars of the first tier you can go buy a cheap pack of carbide inserts and the equipment to braze it to a bit of rod stock. I expect it's just the whole "wow cool tungsten carbide" that's the selling point but you can get a decent knife that does what that does. Though I guess it doesn't look as knife-y for those stealthy protest stabbin's. Elviscat posted:Serious answer: Surely it's mostly an issue with the angle on the grind? I'm running mostly with lathe tooling as my base of knowledge here though. It didn't give much look edge-on in the video that I saw. I did cut what looked like a passport and the vinyl binding can be a bit much for a dull knife. May as well learn to knap obsidian if you want an especially exotic edge for some reason. Though perhaps there's ceramic blades other than kitchen knives out there you can futz with.

It didn't give much look edge-on in the video that I saw. I did cut what looked like a passport and the vinyl binding can be a bit much for a dull knife. Sure it is, but look at how you grind tool steel vs how carbide tooling comes, carbide tooling has a much more radiused edge compared to tool steel because of it's propensity for chipping, however it can maintain much higher tool pressures without going dull. You extrapolate that out to a knife, and it's going to limit your relief angle (which is evident in that video, the body of that blade is mega-phat compared to an X-Acto knife) to compensate for a reasonably sharp edge (the edge on that letter opener is going to be much sharper than carbide lathe or mill tooling, for example) but that still means it's gonna suck to try and push through any soft material like packaging. No doubt it'll function fine as a knife, but carbide edges are almost impossible to repair, and it stands that one good *wham* into a reasonable hard surface (like glass) is going to chip that edge.

For packaging and warehouse work, it's really hard to recommend anything other than a standard stanley knife just because that already does the job so well.
