My Latest Hellboy Prop - A Completely 3D Printed Samaritan

[Nexus6]

I don't have a lot of experience doing JY "runs", but IMO, there are several avenues you could pursue:

If you had the resources, you could start an INT thread, get your buyer list, make the prints, & then accept payment & ship.

HOWEVER, you can almost ALWAYS guarantee flake-outs, which would leave you with unclaimed pieces. To help prevent that, you could accept deposits, make the prints, then accept final payments as you ship. You'd need to make sure you could take final payment/ship before PayPal's dispute-filing-time runs out on the deposits.

OR you could print one, accept full payment from the first buyer on the list, & ship. If they flake out, collect full payment from the #2 buyer, rinse/repeat.

I'm sure there are RPF JY Vets that can offer way more experienced advice, to make your run as painless as possible for both YOU & the buyers.

NOW SHUT UP & TAKE MY MONEY!

All good avenues.

I doubt you would have trouble selling any of these kits at the price you have stated. So if you make a list and a buyer backs out, I'm pretty sure you would have someone else interested and willing to pay for the kit.

I would love to be on the list!

Since I have a 3D printer at my disposal myself, I was wondering if you are still going to put this on Thingiverse?
Since you're making kits now, I understand if you don't feel like sharing them just yet.

Thingiverse won't post it, no guns apparently, although there are some on the site already...

Posted the info for my kit that I'm selling in the Junkyard.

MOD EDIT: Please do not post Junkyard links outside of the Junkyard forum, thanks.

Limited run, all proceeds go right back into our school's budget to buy us another 3D printer

The kit is selling very well, 6 (of 10) gone in less than 12 hours!

The posted guns get around the 'no gun' ban but very clearly and repeatedly saying they are props/models and (most importantly)post models with filled barrel/cylinders. Then the same user or in the case of the Samaritan another poster throws up a stand alone 'drilled' version of just the barrel/cylinder and since those items on their own do not a gun make, it avoids the rules against guns and is allowed to stay.

Totally interested. This is an outstanding product!

Would definitely be interested in one but the shipping to the UK would be extortionate

Check out my build page, I've shipped several to the UK - $20.00. I'm currently finishing an extended 2nd run and taking a break, but post interest there and i'll gauge interest for a 3rd run
