This time we spoke with Felidencia Capital Co., Ltd. 遅沢 who run SK Honpo.
Q. Please tell us about SK Honpo.
SK Honpo is an online store that handles the 3D printers and the resins and filaments used for modeling. From the bodies of light-curing and FDM printers to original modeling materials and peripherals, we offer a wide range of products essential for manufacturing.
In addition to selling equipment and materials, we provide a guide on how to choose and how to use, consultations before purchase, and post-installation support. We aim to be a store where beginners to 3D printers and regular makers can find tools and materials suited to their goals.
Q. Who do you want SK Honpo’s products to reach and how do you want them to use them?
We hope to be useful in various manufacturing scenarios, such as for people who enjoy figurine and model making, companies prototyping products, and educational institutions that use 3D printers in classes or research.
Resin and filament are consumables used each time you shape something. For those who continue to use them, we hope you will find our regular delivery service helpful in creating an environment that reduces forgetfulness in purchasing and lets you focus on production and prototyping, with deliveries at intervals that fit your production pace.
From the GO SUB team.
Lately I keep seeing videos on SNS and other platforms of people making a variety of interesting works with 3D printers! I can’t help but keep watching.
Filaments and similar products are consumed quickly as you create more works, so they pair very well with a regular delivery plan!
Q. Please tell us in detail about the products you handle.
We mainly sell materials tailored to用途 and用途—Light-curing resin for resin 3D printing and FDM filament for the 3D printers, along with other materials.
What we’d like to introduce on a subscription basis are 1000g each of SK Water-Wash Resin, SK10K Water-Wash Resin, and SK High-Performance Water-Wash Resin, plus the PLA+ filament “GENESIS.” These can be chosen according to your 目的 (purpose) and the printer you use, for molding, prototyping, or day-to-day shaping.
Q. Please tell us about the reasons for choosing GO SUB and your impressions of using it.
We focused on balancing the features necessary for subscription services with ongoing operating costs for GO SUB with. GO SUB is appealing because it offers functions such as delivery frequency, discounts, and customer-initiated skips and pauses, while allowing a monthly plan with no app sales fees.
As a service that continuously delivers resin and filament, we evaluate that it secures the necessary features while making cost forecasting easier,.
From the GO SUB representative.
Thank you for choosing us! GO SUB offers industry-leading low usage fees for the app, while the features required for a subscription are very well developed!
We are very pleased that SK Honpo appreciates the balance!
Q. Please tell us about the products you use with GO SUB and the features you utilize.
Using GO SUB, we offer a subscription service for 3D printer resin and filament. The regular subscription discounts 20% off from the price at the time the order is created for every shipment. Delivery intervals can be chosen from five options: 30, 40, 50, 60, or 90 days. There are no minimum commitment requirements, and you can manage skipping, pausing, or canceling from My Page.
Additionally, for the four eligible products, we combine a GO SUB subscription with Shopify’s one-time first-purchase coupon to offer an initial half-price discount. From the second purchase onward, it is 20% OFF from the sale price. The first-purchase benefits have conditions regarding product, quantity, and application method, and details are provided on the dedicated page.
Q. Do you have any feedback from customers about the regular delivery service?
By having the necessary materials delivered regularly, it reduces forgetfulness and the effort of placing orders, allowing you to focus on the production itself. When you have surplus materials, you can skip, and continue at your own pace. We value that ease of use.
We have received feedback like that.
Q. Finally, please share your future prospects!
It isn’t enough to just buy a 3D printer; we want to create an environment where you can continue to select, try, and use materials even after that, and keep expanding.
We want to enhance guidance for first-time users on regular subscriptions, including discounts, delivery intervals, and how to modify, making it easy to continue according to usage. We aim to reduce issues such as forgetting to buy ingredients or replenishment chores, and to increase the time available for craftsmanship.
