We are Alpha Print and we 3D print homes & communities. Retrying HN launch after much feedback from the community. Feel free to leave comments and suggestions(preferably constructive ones).

Alright i changed a bunch of stuff hope this makes everything look better and helps people understand the products better. Thank you again for all the input!

yeh thank you i was hoping for some good feedback on this. talked to a few more people and didnt realize that it appeared that way. everyone has just been giving the usual "oh that's nice" treatment and not giving anything useful back. It would be almost impossible to get to an MVP since that would be an actual house before recieving some form of funding. also not sure how much time people are willing to read about the tech so i tried to just leave out a lot of details until people indicated they wanted heavy details on each feature. not sure what to do with the store maybe just remove the purchase option? I like the vision/plan/timeline idea that sounds about where i thought this might have to go but that is definitely more detailed. yeh the intent is to have it become mobile like ICON did where it folds up into the back of a semi truck and port it around site to site. the shear scalability of the company i think is the most exciting business aspect since it makes addressing all the homes that need to be rebuilt after the fires relatively easy in comparison to traditional methods. ill be making notes from all this feedback from everyone and revising the whole site constantly. it's mainly just me working on it and i know next to nothing on most things besides the mechanical stuff. ive been machining and working with robots for years professionally so this is just taking that to the next level i guess.

also figured out how to get rid of the godaddy footer just now so thanks

not spam but if you want ill add it in the recommended products section.

depends on state, county, city, it's a nightmare of problems to be sure. we live in an area that doesn't have an issue with it so we don't have to fight legislature tooth and nail to build it that way. you can see what ICON has done that's essentially what we are aiming for but the first for-profit for home owners not a non-profit for homeless people like ICON. they're doing great work it just isnt profitable or scalable to do charity work and be impactful enough fast enough in the world like that.

noted. 3D printed homes will help solve the want of custom home floor plans, the need to have a safe fire resistant home in high fire zones, if for whatever reason your home is destroyed instead of waiting 6mo-1yr+ for someone to rebuild the same home out of the same flammable materials assuming your home is made from wood for example you can reprint your home out of cement instead in just a few days and be back in in less than a month from the time it was destroyed and that's built into the package so kind of replaces the need for massive insurance coverage on the structure

you can try one of our books? theyre mainly tools for startups, companies and personal home use. amazon takes pretty much all of the money with KDP we get barely $1 a book that gets corporate taxes taken on it so yeah not really a money making thing it's more of a nice to have thing before investors try to kill the ideas off before we've fully worked out what we want for the company. it's focused on the 3D printed home and what we want to go with the home. so even if you cant afford to buy a home you can still buy our furnishings and publishings and support us that way. yes the energy drink is an inside joke but a serious product we wanted to make later on for fun. We are veteran owned btw. those claims are from already established metrics from the field of 3D printed homes. standard material deposition rates and curing times. we dont have a prototype? we need funding to build the prototype. so if you know anyone who would be interested in helping to fund us we would greatly appreciate it. and for a "scammy website" godaddy is terribly expensive i must say so if you have better hosting suggestions or templated websites besides godaddy or square im all ears $300+/year is not cheap when youre just starting so yeah any help there would be great

noted. the shop is mainly just for show to express what we want to offer and pricing to see what people have to say about it. more just us sharing our vision. there's a long road to the MVP and we need funding to be able to get to printing the first house. the packs are estimates for professional quality tools and products that we will hand pick ourselves based on professional experience in many of these categories or from outside sources that are more savvy than we. To get to the MVP we need something on the order of $500,000 no employees just me and my co founder and some contractors to do some of the trades you need licensing for.

duly noted. just wanted reactions to pricing. good feedback thank you. we need funding to build the robot and print the first house or the "MVP" so yeh need lots of funding to get to an mvp obviously.

Nope thats why I specifically said any help to get to an MVP or website feedback. Good to see everyone thinks it's a scam website though kind of silly. Not sure where the dead links are. Some book titles are not yet published. Some are through KDP thats why theyre amazon links and the items are recommendations from the books or unique items we thought would be nice to link. not sure the links in the shop let you purchase anything yet still linking payment account and there's legal stuff to deal with before we can actually accept anything besides donations or sales of tertiary products we want to go with the homes. we wanted to just see what people thought of the pricing really.

We are Alpha Print and we 3D print homes & communities.

Hoping for feedback and if you're interested in helping us out lets us know. We are seeking funding and donations to help us get to an MVP as soon as possible. Our technology will help solve several issues especially with all of the fires happening right now people need this more than ever.
