Layer lines are not the reason your 3D printed product is failing to sell. In this episode of the Slant 3D Podcast, Gabe explains why customers will accept visible layer lines when a product solves a real problem—and why blaming surface texture often hides a weak product, poor positioning, or ineffective sales strategy.

We also discuss major changes across the 3D printing industry. Meshy reportedly raised $400 million for AI-generated 3D models, while BigRep entered restructuring and Fusion3 moved toward shutting down. Gabe breaks down why some 3D technologies are attracting major investment while traditional printer manufacturers continue to struggle.

Additional updates include lower Teleport pricing, automatic support detection, faster order turnaround, Portals advertising tools, TikTok affiliate integration, Oil Stick production, and continued development of the Slant 3D API.

Finally, Gabe revisits the Smarter Every Day BBQ knob and explains why manufacturing speed should be measured across the entire production system—not by the cycle time of one printer or molding machine.
