An actual person that makes money with 3d printing and a product between TikTok and Teleport/Slant 3D's print farm service. Plus a product I didn't know was a thing.

Original YT description:

Scaling a 3D printing business can be difficult when a viral moment strikes—unless you have the right tools. When Craig’s Little Ouchie exploded in popularity, he faced a massive challenge: fulfilling thousands of orders in just days. With TikTok Shop requiring fast shipping, he was at risk of losing everything… until 3D Print-On-Demand saved the day.

Using Teleport, Craig connected his store directly to a fleet of 3D printers, instantly tapping into mass production without any upfront investment. No need to buy more machines, hire extra help, or stress over logistics—his viral success was fulfilled seamlessly.

This is the power of 3D Print-On-Demand. No inventory, no warehousing, just on-demand production at scale. Watch how Craig’s business thrived instead of collapsed and learn how you can do the same!

I think it is an interesting story, PTSD/Autism sensory product, and service to be aware of if one ever needed it. However, this is easily construed as marketing. If you watched and feel that is the case, down vote this post or better yet, leave a comment. I want to know how the community feels about this grey area between usefulness/informative post and marketed products. As far as my present mod stance, user account history is how I determine whether a post is guerilla marketing. Low engagement or lots of low effort interactions are indicative of a potential shill account.(original thumbnail was clickbait so I grabbed a screenshot of the numbers for ref)

I'm more of an outsider for this community / hobby, but I thought the post was neat :)
