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 Creations

Creator 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.

Edge0.4 mm bevel (cutting edge) Wall1.2 mm effective body Handle5 mm grip block
40 mm

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

Choose a brand and complexity for release tips, cornstarch, and release timing.

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.

Your tier: Beginner

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.

Co-design Collaborative design voting

Upcoming drop: Spring Florals (preview)

Vote for the shape pack we produce next. One vote per signed-in member. Suggest tweaks — you’re helping engineer the release.

Roadmap Collaborative theme vote

Next theme drop (community picks)

Vote once per account for the aesthetic we develop next (e.g. era, biome, or vibe).

Wiki Technique wiki (crowdsourced)

Bake times, clay mixes, and troubleshooting by climate — add a tip if you’re signed in.

Grow Educational tiering

Pick the path that matches you. Tutorials and kit bundles for beginners; Standard adds community voting and gallery prominence; Professional adds bulk-style perks, commercial-use digital licenses (see terms), early access, and an encrypted digital locker for purchased files.

  • 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).

Pro Encrypted digital locker

Professional tier: encrypt files locally with a passphrase, then store ciphertext in your private Storage path. Keys never leave your device.
