Hi there! So I design and 3D print my own designs of lamps, nightlights, wall sconces, as well as other lighting fixtures and items, all my own designs, I don't license in or out, I don't use AI, all of my pieces use some form of 3D printing as well as hand finishing, nothing pops out of the printer and I sell it - each requires meticulous refinement for safety in multiple aspects. But I'm alone, or at least I feel alone, I've only ever seen one other person selling lamps and it was liquor bottles turned into lamps with shades. I feel sometimes controversial in that some hear '3d printing' and immediately assume I sell flexi-dragons, or that I don't 'make' what I sell. Luckily, I am well received at most craft fairs, and often complimented on my prices being 'reasonable'. Thanks to advice I've received from this sub, and colleagues, I've done a lot of bundle pricing and quantity price signs which have completely changed how I sell - I almost always sell 2+ items at a time now, and have started a discounted nightlight option for customers who buy anything else which has become an almost all-the-time add-on. But I feel like I'm wearing rose colored glasses, anyone have any critique? I worry my booth is sterile and anodyne.

After a year+ of R&D I've now released my Vertice and Vertex Dome Ceiling Light Replacement - renter friendly, no tools required, and includes mounting hardware. I've sold 4 at Craft Fairs with good feedback, so I'm finally selling them... http://www.joeylopezdesign.store

I offer the GE LED+ RGB bulbs with remote controls as a $10 upgrade on all of my lamps and light fixtures, I buy them in bulk from Lowe’s and Amazon and resell at cost since they are so popular with my customers, but they’ve been discontinued everywhere with only Target allowing me to purchase more than one at the retail price - I scour eBay for lots of them as well every week.
Note that only the 1-pack have 1 bulb and 1 remote, all the other quantities unfortunately have 2 or 3 bulbs and 1 remote, or 4 bulbs and 2 remotes. I need 1:1
These bulbs last a long time, have nice warm and cool whites, and a unique premium feeling physical remote control that doesn’t look like cheap garbage.
But alas GE has stopped making these.

Anyone know a similar non-smart bulb with a remote that’s decent?

So after spending what felt like 2 hours filling out the claim form online and uploading 5 different PDFs and 20 photos, they tell me they didn't receive any of the images or proof and I need to send them again, oh and get the recipient to fill out a form they receive but don't send it to the return address in the prepaid envelope, no send it to us or you, and you send it to us, oh and maybe wait another 30 days, or 45 days, oh and refer to the Canadian governments handbook on blah blah... I have a stress headache,

anyone else ever deal with this?

It's a $280 order that was completely destroyed, with a $130 shipping cost between Colorado, USA and Toronto, CA

I've already shipped the customer a new product at my expense because I've had good luck with domestic insurance claims each time, but this is worrying.

This is infuriating, does anyone have any advice? I ship dozens of products from the U.S. to Canada and no one has ever been charged any fees, duties, taxes, tariffs by surprise upon delivery ever, but this customer asked me to help them because the product was attempted delivery 2 weeks ago, and now they're being told they need to pick it up by 5/1 AND pay $27.86 or else they'll return to sender the item.

I have no idea what to do here, and no FAQs or online info are about this, we're not sure if they tried to collect the duty at the door and that's why they didn't just leave either, but this doesn't make any sense: I ship DOZENS of products to Canada each month, and never EVER has anyone been charge any surprise fees, and there is nothing out of the ordinary about this product. Also this GST/HST fee is apparently for huge corporations - I'm just a dude barely making a few K per year from Etsy, I'm not a company, or anything.

Anyone have this happen?

Thanks everyone for the suggestion to do 20 and 30 card versions of these, I've uploaded the 20 and 30 card editions to the same MakerWorld listing here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2670306-draftkeepr-15-20-30-card-mtg-cube-drafting-boxes#profileId-2955425
The profiles have been finely tuned for best quality possible (especially seam control) so please use the 3MFs and not STLs for the best results, these are the same ones I'm using for production.
For single-color versions, simply reduce the filaments
I'll also be posting up versions with the Color symbols soon
I also have these for sale at my site and etsy.
