Order situation: Too big, too soon?
Hi everyone, Just sharing a situation I got myself into recently and how other people would handle this particular scenario differently? I reached out to a company as I felt I could print some company-themed merchandise (did a few prototypes and had some great feedback). The only issue was that this company had a conference event and requested 200 of this product but with a hard deadline of 1 week. I did the maths, scaled down the model as much as I could but there was no way I could’ve possible done 100 of these prints in 1 week, even 50 was going to be a stretch. I worked out the profits and even considered buying more printers but I would’ve made no profit doing this and just didn’t have the liquidity at the time, so in the end I had to turn down my first big order simply because I didn’t have the capacity to print so many. I have since bought another H2C and an A1 to give me more capacity, just wondering would any of you do something else in this situation?
