    Progress Thread: Sir Ingenious Collection

    EXECUTION 
    sounds good. Crazy how they only charged you 350 bux. I mean all you sent them was a drawing. Can't believe they made a CAD model(tons of work) then fabricated a personal mold(tons of expensive work) then did a small production run for you, then shipped everything over seas. Who's the...

    I had a good Idea -> I Created a working prototype/POC -> Now what?

    IDEA 
    Did you apply for your Patent Pending on your invention? Doesn't sound like you did. I don't have time to read through everything here. But you won't get very far without a patent in place. If your not worried about someone stealing your idea, then find a manufacturer in Asia...

    Letting friends go..

    PEOPLE 
    I'm going through this right now. And have been for the past year or so. It was difficult to deal with at first. But over time the choice to leave friends behind me has become easier. Because there is an upside. And a big one at that. You find out who your true friends are very quickly...

    Nice work so far. So let me get this straight. You found some company on Alibaba to do the design/build mold/produce some samples for you for under $1,000. That's crazy. Am I missing something here. Who's your Lens supplier? is it the same company that built the frames? Seeing as you got...

    IDEA 
    ya i've looked at alot of that stuff. did alot of research on hinges. I'm doing things a lil differently though, so i have to approach things differently. I'm making a hinge that has no moving parts, no mechanical metal pieces. It's just rubber on rubber. Kinda hard to explain. But the...

    IDEA 
    Thanks bud ;) I appreciate that Dez But I need to discover this on my own. The way I look at it is. It's not brain surgery, there sunglasses. I'll get there. ;) I'm struggling with two things right now. The hinging mechanism I created and predicting how the rubber will bend. I developed...

    Thanks ;) I'm going to be hiring someone to do our video. I'm researching companies right now. I want to do a video that feels like a GoPro vid. Not sure how I'm gonna go about that yet. Something will come to me though.

    IDEA 
    I am. every iteration gets me closer and closer. but instead of moving closer in meters, I feel like it's inches now. Maybe because I'm gettin real close. who knows. I keep having to re-design though, because what looks like it works in the computer is far different then what works in real...

    IDEA 
    DAMMIT! looks like the last prototype won't work after all. thought I was there, but the design needs more work. I tried another design over the weekend and failed again. I keep F*cken failing. I see now why people give up, this shit is really hard. I enjoy the process for the most part...

    selling counterfeit goods fast lane?

    EXECUTION 
    idk know about that. it's gotta be alot easier to sell a product with a good rep/brand name. for example. someone whos selling fake Oakleys as opposed to selling and creating their own brand. I'm gonna guess and say that the latter is way harder. insanely harder.
