About My Quirky Endeavors
First-run playbook (suggested enhancements from our strategy white paper)
Shipped on this page: one clear hero action, 3-step start path, browse-before-login, trust strip, search + shop filters, single-field newsletter, contact/FAQ links, free resources, guest cart persistence, mobile-friendly controls, deferred scripts, social proof near pricing, focus-visible outlines, and analytics funnel events. See BUSINESS_STRATEGY_GUIDE.md in the repo for the full narrative.
You know that feeling when you're super excited about a new hobby, dive in headfirst, and then realize... maybe "mastery" isn't in the cards? Yeah, that's pretty much my life!
Whether it's knitting a scarf that ends up looking like abstract art, flailing wildly at a boss in a video game, or attempting choreography that resembles an interpretive dance of a startled octopus - I embrace the journey, even if the results are hilariously imperfect.
This space is a celebration of trying, learning, and finding joy in the process, regardless of the outcome. No pressure, just pure, unadulterated fun!

Shop My CreationsCreator platform — not just a storefront
Upload a 2D SVG, apply print-ready cutter standards, preview at real scale in AR, get clay-specific guidance, and anchor file provenance. Pay with Apple Pay / Google Pay where Stripe is configured.
Parametric Custom cutter generator
Upload a single-color SVG (outline paths). We extrude with studio defaults: sharp cutting edge, reinforced wall, and a comfort handle — then estimate price and export STL or preview in AR.
No SVG loaded yet.
AR True-scale preview
After you generate a model, view it in AR on your phone to compare against a standard slab or your ear — scale is driven by the mm width you set above.
Use the AR button on supported devices (iOS Quick Look / Android Scene Viewer). Place near a reference card (credit card ≈ 85.6 mm) to sanity-check size.
Materials Cutter guide by clay brand
Trust Provenance & wallets
Each STL is fingerprinted with SHA-256. You can register a ledger entry on our Firebase (chain-linked to the previous certificate) for transparency. Digital goods are not “unbreakable,” but hashes + signed timestamps deter casual copying.
One-tap checkout: Apple Pay and Google Pay via Stripe Payment Request — card data stays with the wallet provider for speed and security when your publishable key is configured.
Set localStorage.setItem('CRAFT_STRIPE_PK','pk_test_…') and reload to enable wallet buttons (never publish secret keys).
STL Digital asset library
Buy print-ready STL packs instantly — no international shipping, no customs wait. Files match our cutter spec (0.4 mm cutting edge). Pro tier includes commercial-use license add-ons where listed.
- Vintage Florals — earrings & charms
- Deep Sea silhouettes — pendants
- 70s Retro pack — bold statement shapes
Earth Plastic-neutral & recycling
We track PLA use toward a plastic-neutral goal: dull metal cutters can’t go in curbside plastic bins, but we’re piloting a return & refresh program — mail back worn cutters for inspection and receive a credit toward new tools (reduces landfill and keeps your studio sharp).
Interested? Email latrese@example.com with subject “cutter return” and your country — we’ll add you to the pilot list.
Orders Your purchases & digital unlocks
Completed Stripe checkouts (while signed in) show up here after the webhook runs — same account as at checkout. STL download links can be added per product later.
Community — artists building together
Share finished work for social proof, vote on upcoming collections, and pick a tier that matches how you grow. Checkout uses Stripe (hosted) when Cloud Functions are configured.

Gallery Built-with portfolios
Show pieces you made with our cutters and tools — a built-with gallery for every product tag. Tag the exact cutter set or texture mat so buyers can see real results.

Grow Educational tiering

- Beginner: tutorials, starter kits, Resources tab.
- Standard: built-with gallery + voting + platform email perks.
- Professional (Pro): commercial STL licenses on digital bundles, bulk discounts on physical tools where offered, early access drops, encrypted locker (AES-GCM in-browser before upload).
