It’s not always obvious to our makers what they need to know in order to get started on a new project. Our You3Dit Beta “Create Project” is pretty intuitive and will guide you on what to submit. Here’s the MUST HAVE, SHOULD HAVE and NICE-TO-HAVE items that improve the likelihood of your idea coming to life with You3Dit. We’ll explain why as we walk you through the process. If you’re in a hurry, get the must-haves included in your project and you can fill in the details later once you’ve chosen a 3D Designer / Fabricator…but it’s typically better for everyone involved to get these details included in the process as early as possible…especially for you and your wallet.

Common pitfalls and workarounds on You3Dit Beta
Thank you so much for being part of our all new, fully-functional You3Dit Beta platform–a marketplace of designers & fabricators that transform client napkin sketches into real physical parts. Starting first with IoT and Industrial Prototyping clients. Eventually, this will become the new You3Dit.com. However it’s currently in “Beta Test” mode which Google defines as: “a trial of machinery, software, or other products, in the final stages of its development.” Running a Beta Test allows product developers to quickly find the rough spots in a product so that they can be resolved. This article intends to help you get through the most common roadblocks on your way to developing your new part, product or prototype. These are in order of importance (as measured by the frequency and pain observed in beta clients using the platform): The avatar (for new projects, new quotes, iterations) No email notifications?
