ME AGAIN!
Thought i'd vanished, didn't you?
So I got a design done by a guy on Fiverr and it looked like the least sexy thing you could possibly imagine.
So I got another design and he's just sent me the files. It looks good. Or promising.
I've been quoted £400 to get it 3D printed. This is why I'm here today. I'm having such a mental block making the damn 3D model to print to TEST that it works that I'm wondering whether I'm cut out for this.
I have the money - didn't before but I got a side hustle business that raised enough funds to help see me through the process.
Do I even have to 3D print it to test? I can't see another way and I don't want to press ahead and register the design or even approach manufacturers until I know the damn thing works.
I'm looking for

Insights - something I haven't thought of.
Or any combination of the above.
Thanks!

You never know what the right choice could be, maybe you'd waste £400, maybe not.
But from my experience when I was in these kind of situations, the right choice was always to do it.
Sometimes I look back and think "I wonder where I would be if I didn't throw in those $1.000 to get the very first version done of this or that".
Essentially what I read you asking is if you need the product in order to test the product?
In which case I think you really do need the physical product and to have it tested.
Its a risk but in my opinion its a necessary risk that you will not get easy around.
Good luck, I vote that you go for it!
