We Didn't Know How to Make It…Yet

<p>We had 206 panic buttons, a Velcro problem, some very determined adhesive…and absolutely no desire to relearn CAD.</p><p>What started as a pretty mundane problem at our school district turned into a perfect example of why we created Beyond Yet.</p><p>We needed a permanent holder for a panic button. We couldn&#39;t find one to buy. We knew a 3D printer could probably make one.</p><p>We just didn&#39;t know how to design it.</p><p>So Jim asked a question:</p><p><strong>What if AI could do the part we didn&#39;t know how to do?</strong></p><p>It could.</p><p>In this episode, we tell the whole story, including the bad tape, painted-over Velcro, our first prototype, the STL file AI generated, what we got wrong, what we learned about manufacturing time, and the little 3D-printed holder that is now changing how we&#39;re thinking about what we can create.</p><p>Because the interesting part isn&#39;t the panic button holder.</p><p>It&#39;s what happened afterward.</p><p>Once you&#39;ve made something you previously couldn&#39;t make, you start looking around and wondering:</p><p><strong>What else could I do that I don&#39;t know how to do…yet?</strong></p><p>That&#39;s Beyond Yet.</p><p><strong>If you can think it, you can create it.</strong></p>
