    I am a typical overwhelmed polymer clay beginner who has no space and no natural light but a lot of ideas...thank you very much for all of your tips. It was very helpful to me...and I better plan a trip to Bunnings...☺️

      So glad we could help! Just remember - vertical space is your best friend in small spaces 😊 I feel like I’m at Bunnings every weekend 😂

    Love this. Question(s) for you - Could you (unless I’ve missed it in one of your videos) do a video on your clay cutters? Do you design & print them yourselves? If you do make your own are there any tips/tricks or machine preferences? Or if you don’t, do you outsource from another artist?

    • @myclayco

      We are actually polymer clay cutter makers and that is the main part of our business 😊 We use Prusa machines and love them! My best advice if you’re looking at getting into 3d printing is to get a kit and build it so you know how everything works and how to pull it apart for maintenance and fixing. If you are into technology and problem solving it is such a fun thing to get into - our printers drive me crazy some days but I love being able to design and print our own creations!

      @@myclayco Awesome, thank you! I have an Ender 3 and I’ve surely had my struggles with it. I did build it so at least I’m on the right track! 😆 I’ve just been wondering what professional businesses use so I can make better quality products. I appreciate all your help!

      @@emschrader418 oh sorry! I didn't realise you'd already gotten into it! Honestly I have seen other businesses with enders create the same quality cutters as us so it is totally doable! The tricky part is getting your settings right (both software and hardware). The other tricky thing is that all printers are different so I know that even with all of our printers I have to individually dial in the settings (phew!). So if you're not quite happy with your cutter quality, just try a few different things and see what the results are and hopefully you land on the perfect settings!

      @@emschrader418 Oh, don't worry, it's not just you! I think setting up, maintaining and fixing our printers is still the toughest part of running MyClayCo for me - lucky I love problem solving but geez, some days I'm ready to pop them in the bin 🤣

    Hey Ladies Great Video Can I Ask Where Do You Get Peg Boards From Please & Thank You 💕💕

    • @myclayco
      @myclayco  Před 4 dny

      Thank you ☺️ Our large pegboard that we show in the video was purchased through Costway Australia (Costway also sell these through Bunnings marketplace). Smaller ones that I have at home though are from Kmart and ikea 😊 They’re pretty easy to get, it all depends on the colour and size you want/need for your space
