No sooner had the thought flitted in to my bonce than my fingers hit the keyboard then … Ta da! If any of what follows raises any questions get in touch – our contact details are here<\/strong><\/a>. We do love to chat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How we got started in the 3D printing business<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nWell, we\u2019ve always loved baking. Yeah, I know, talk about stating the obvious. Yet we used to be much more about the cakes than the cookies. A lovely boiled fruitcake on a Sunday teatime mid 70s, with visiting grandparents. It can\u2019t get any better than that. Indeed, only the other day Mr SED called me a feeder. And he’s not wrong. I want people, friends, to sit, enjoy cake or biscuits with a cup of tea and a listening ear.
I digress though – this will happen often so bear with. Before we were SED we ran a business called 4 Points Leisure, selling glamping<\/strong>,<\/a> festival and camping gear. We gave it our best shot but competing with the big boys – y’know Go Outdoors, Glamping Company etc proved nigh on impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early adopters<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nNow it happens that Mr SED is a technology early adopter. Thus, around this time he got a 3D printer to play with. After printing all manner of stuff, he printed a cactus cookie cutter. ‘Oooooh’ said I, ‘bring me to the cookie dough’. For a laugh, I put it on our 4 Points Leisure shop and it sold. And sold and sold. Bells started clanging in my head. What else could we do? As it turned out – loads!
So here we are, four years down the line, with over 2000 products in our catalogue. We have cookie cutters, cake toppers, stencils and embossing items for any occasion you can think of. And many that you can’t I vouch! We sell them via our website, EBay, Etsy and Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who are SED?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"SED](\"https:\/\/www.sed-developments.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20201029_130954-1024x768.jpg\")
SED Developments<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAh! Yes. Good question, I’m glad you asked.
Bashing out this blog is me – Jo. I work full-time at the business doing everything bar maintaining the 3D printers. Though Mr SED will be apoplectic when he reads that. Mr SED is Richard. He maintains the printers and does a lot of the engineering on the complex commissions. He’s the trouble-shooter when anything goes wrong. Other than all that he works full-time outside of the biz.
Then there’s the dahling daughter. A testy teen always ready to taste test and ever rolling her eyes at my Instagram efforts. Pfft.
And finally, my sister, Auntie Sean, who has a myriad of design ideas and a good notion for what will work, along with lecturing on marketing! And I must give mention to the two cats and two degus, who give much needed amusement\/therapy, along the way.
So there you go, that’s the gang behind the scenes at SED. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where does it all happen?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"Behind](\"https:\/\/www.sed-developments.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/a-behind-754x1024.jpg\")
Kitchen come post station<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThat\u2019ll be the kitchen! And our box room office. The kitchen becomes a tangle of bubble wrap and Selloptape come 11am most mornings.
We\u2019re too small to go big yet, but a move to the shed will happen. Then there\u2019s the printers. We have four in the kitchen and three in the box room office. I take phone calls in the cupboard under the stairs! I jest – but not too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our favourite bits<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIf you were to ask me what I like best about what I do, I’d have to say the designing and the commissions. I’m none too hot at face-to-face schoomzing. I don’t have an elevator pitch for a start. The very idea brings me out in a hive – I\u2019d be the one in the corner staring hard at the buttons!
But bring me your starting point and away I go. I love that part of the job. And designing our own collections is far more interesting than the accounting side!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the worst part …<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n… is, unpicking filament from the 3D printer, and trying to remember to vacuum them out!
Or when I visualise a print one way and it prints another \u2013 parts of the internal cutter falling out. But I am so dogged about getting something finished.
Finally, the icing (whadda??) I would love to ice our cookies like you professionals, but I don\u2019t have that talent. I need to watch the You tube videos on how to do it. And I promise myself each holiday that I\u2019ll settle down and watch but it never happens. So instead I’m making my disastrous cookie icing into a feature and a talking point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What a typical day looks like<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"Behind](\"https:\/\/www.sed-developments.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/background-768x1024.jpg\")
Desk working!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWell, the machines run from 6.30am to about 8pm non-stop. I\u2019ll start at about 7am doing the invoices for the day. Then I move on to creating the print lists before running to the front door to mortify the dahling daughter by waving goodbye in my dressing gown.
After that, it\u2019s commission work, or printing orders of our own designs. Then I hop on to Insta to see what everyone is doing. I might then freak out that I missed a print finishing \u2013 so have to run to a printer.
Next comes packaging up orders and popping in a freebie for them. Repeat all that until 3.30pm when we stop for a catch up cup of tea with the daughter. It’s the back to the grindstone until 5pm when I come away to burn something for tea.
But hey. That\u2019s the up and the down to being self employed – the work is simply never done. On the flip side, if I want to go for a run at 9am then off I pop. It hasn\u2019t happened yet but I like to fancy that one day it will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happens after the cutter goes out?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI so hope the recipient loves it and uses it loads. My worst nightmare is that they get the cutter, feel disappointed but don\u2019t feel that they can come back to me. And then keep it hidden in a drawer resenting it every time they go in there.
I check my feedback on all platforms, and if it\u2019s a commission I\u2019ll follow up to check it worked. I would say, as a customer, and this has taken me until now to realise, if it\u2019s not what you want when you receive it, ask to return it. Or do an exchange, please don\u2019t let that item beat you up each time you look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But hey. That\u2019s the up and the down to being self employed – the work is simply never done. On the flip side, if I want to go for a run at 9am then off I pop. It hasn\u2019t happened yet but I like to fancy that one day it will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happens after the cutter goes out?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI so hope the recipient loves it and uses it loads. My worst nightmare is that they get the cutter, feel disappointed but don\u2019t feel that they can come back to me. And then keep it hidden in a drawer resenting it every time they go in there.
I check my feedback on all platforms, and if it\u2019s a commission I\u2019ll follow up to check it worked. I would say, as a customer, and this has taken me until now to realise, if it\u2019s not what you want when you receive it, ask to return it. Or do an exchange, please don\u2019t let that item beat you up each time you look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our commission work<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Well, the machines run from 6.30am to about 8pm non-stop. I\u2019ll start at about 7am doing the invoices for the day. Then I move on to creating the print lists before running to the front door to mortify the dahling daughter by waving goodbye in my dressing gown.
After that, it\u2019s commission work, or printing orders of our own designs. Then I hop on to Insta to see what everyone is doing. I might then freak out that I missed a print finishing \u2013 so have to run to a printer.
Next comes packaging up orders and popping in a freebie for them. Repeat all that until 3.30pm when we stop for a catch up cup of tea with the daughter. It’s the back to the grindstone until 5pm when I come away to burn something for tea.
