On that note: has anyone ever asked you to make a dildo that's assumably copyrighted? Like a dick based off the Capra Demon? Also how the hell do you put vibes into vibrators? Is that a thing you've done?

Wedemeyer posted:On that note: has anyone ever asked you to make a dildo that's assumably copyrighted? Like a dick based off the Capra Demon? Yes, people have. I've always said no. Even if it's "just one copy" or "they don't make it anymore," it's entirely unethical. Putting vibes in is as simple as putting a void into the base. Then you get a bullet vibrator online and stuff it in the crevice. If it's a particularly cheap toy and you're not worried about preserving it, you could cut a slit into an intact silicone toy and stuff one in there. Now if you actually want a vibrator built in, things get a bit trickier. You can get some very cheap cell phone vibrator motors online and wire up a simple circuit with a switch and a battery pack, but those are super weak. I'd still rather buy the bullet and embed it in the silicone as it's curing. If you spray a little release agent, it could be taken out and replaced as needed.

Naerasa posted:But yeah, great threat OP. I used to do resin modeling with Smooth-On products and it never once occurred to me that I could be using them to make dildos. Talk about a wasted opportunity... Oh, I still haven't told the story of how Smooth-On called me at work! I can get to that this afternoon. Wedemeyer posted:MY god, you can copyright dildos? Huh. I suppose that makes sense. Like in many other fields, a lot of it comes down to how good your lawyer is. Current thinking (at least on Tumblr) is that you can't make a clone of a toy, or one with all the same basic features unless It is visually distinguishable. You can't name a toy the same thing as someone else has. "Ovipositor," "chimaera," "hybrid," all that stuff is taken so you need to be creative. The exception here is toys modeled directly off animals: if you're making a horse or dog dildo, it's going to look like the real thing, and that's a clear-cut case of prior art. Now here's where it gets weird: some artists and their fans are also very protective of color schemes. I got some hatemail because I made a toy that was... red, black, and silver, I think, and unbeknownst to me, that was someone else's signature color scheme. Seems ridiculous to me, but then again, you can copyright and sell colors... Wedemeyer posted:How big was your operation in general? Just you or did you enlist some coworkers into the dildo army? It was about 90% me and 10% my wife. At my peak I was making 3-5 a day after work which ate up an hour or two on top of my other two jobs. I considered hiring someone (a lot of people online even asked me for a job) but then I'd have to worry about a lot more paperwork and regulations. The drama, though, is unending. I made a Five Nights at Freddy's themed toy by request and someone got very upset because the puppets in FNAF have the souls of children and I was condoning pedophilia. There is all kinds of random BS like that. I'm very glad you like the thread  kaschei posted:Are suction cup bases possible with simple molds or do those require special equipment? They are super easy. Drop anything round and buoyant into the silicone once it's been poured into the mold. I use custard dishes in a couple different sizes, as well as a PVC pipe cap for small toys. Suction cups take thirty seconds of effort, tops, and nobody should be charging extra for them. elise the great posted:I just want you to know that this thread has made my (horrified, fascinated, vaguely nauseated) day and I salute you, fellow purveyor of admittedly very different filth. Holy poo poo, how did I gross you out, Elise? Honored to have you post here! Elf cock, hmm? Depends on the race. If we're talking LotR elves, yeah, sparkly and pale would work. I could use the flesh pigment and add some white mica to achieve those effects. As for the design, add some flashy metallic accents in the shape of leaves, maybe have a pointy tip like their ears. You could actually make a whole line of LotR-themed toys. Glow-in-the-dark blue Sting, a squirting toy with little spines modeled after Shelob, a big fat bumpy orc cock (wait, that's already been done), even Sauron's finger (with or without The Ring) would be a pretty cool shape. Of course, demand for each of these would be overshadowed by the Shadowfax - both in flared and unflared flavors.

Whoever granted a patent or trademark or whatever on ovipositor should be taken outside of a library and beaten to death with a series of biology books and a dictionary. How the hell can you claim tm on an anatomical term. You may as well grant trademark to someone naming a dildo "the penis".just I would love to see a dildo making competition show where people are given a theme or keyword and x amount of time to craft something. Today's theme is "Armadildo". Late night HBO or something. Now I'm kind of surprised I've never seen a multi ridged dildo with that name. Though I don't doubt it probably exists. Do you like to name your creations or is it just "Order number 428, the Christmas tree one"? Gibbo fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Aug 17, 2016 |

I mean, I see a lotta gross dicks, but nobody's trying to put some giant edematous heart failure scrote up their bunghole. This is really something special. Also thanks for launching me into a morbid spiral of wondering just how terrible elf dicks could be. (Ever notice how there are male human + female elf babies, but no male elf + female human babies? I bet there's something real wrong with elf dicks. What is wrong with me.) I'm deathly curious about this ovipositor thing. Is it just a dong-shaped thing with a female bug-parts name? Is it associated with the giant egg thing? Like, obviously it's not gonna lay eggs in your butt, so what makes the difference between an ovipositor and an orc dick or whatever? Also is most of the drama just kink policing and ~problematic callouts~ and tumblr bullshit, or does it get darker and uglier than that? I can see custom dildo sales having a really unpleasant doxxing problem.

I can see custom dildo sales having a really unpleasant doxxing problem. It is MOSTLY Tumblr bullshit, thankfully. I did my best to delete stuff that people complained about because I was already getting a lot of hatemail and my real name was on every package I mailed out.

Because it seems like there would be a lot to keep track of if you wanted to make sure you didn't accidentally make something similar to another person's design. Since I've never really been in the market for toys, I have very little idea what's out there. I've probably got a passing knowledge of the most popular toys. I trust the people who give me designs not to just copy something from someone else (and you can often tell when someone does), but it's entirely possible they could be replicating an existing design without knowing it. Ultimately, I would know if I made a copy or near-copy of another toy if I posted a picture of the finished clay model and got my rear end flamed off on Tumblr. Short story: it actually happened to me once, but the circumstances were unusual. I held a design contest: a bunch of people make designs, I let folks vote on the most popular, I make it and give the winner a free copy. Made it, thing looks goddamn fantastic, but then I got a couple confused/angry notes. It turned out that the winning design had also been proposed as a design for another manufacturer before the designer submitted it to my contest. The other manufacturer never actually made it into a toy AFAIK, so there was no real conflict, but that could've become very awkward. I emailed their head and explained what'd happened and there was no lasting drama or hurt feelings. I wish it were easier to be proactive about not copying a design. Someone commissioned a toy with a piercing from me, and I figured that was a popular request, so I asked on Tumblr what kind of piercings had already been done - and got several ANGRY (literally shaking) replies. To paraphrase one of them, "How loving DARE you pretend like you don't know about ____'s toy! You're just trying to put them out of business you FUCKER!" Stories like those are the main reason I don't sell dildos anymore. They're fun to make for friends, on occasion, but I can't deal with people bitching me out over imagined slights. The whole community is eighty percent hugbox and twenty percent nitroglycerine.

People just assumed I was asking not so that I could avoid stepping on toes, but so that I could copy other designs. You're fine if you do a piercing that hasn't been done. Hell, if it's a common type of piercing, you could probably do that with no problems as long as the dick it's on isn't a copy. This is just a situation where I stepped blindly into a minefield.

Did you have previous experience in clay modeling, or did you just start from nothing and discover it's not that hard? I just feel like if I tried this I'd spend hundreds of dollars on equipment and materials and then end up unintentionally making nothing but "realistic turd" dildos.

I've always had a bit of a knack for clay modeling, origami, sculpting, that sort of thing. If you doubt your talents, well, you can grab that 1.75-pound block of Sculpey posted upthread and find out. You will also want a friend or two who like dildos to judge your design.
