An update from a 3D printing, cosplay costume fabricator.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1685
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from the co-founder of Dig Dates, a dating app for dog lovers. They’ve recently rolled out a cat companion app as well! Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Nikko Mendoza. We first told his story in Ep. #977: 3D Printing Brings Cosplay Into 21st Century. He’s since expanded his business in lots of ways—in fact, I had a hard time editing his update for his here just because he’s involved in so many things, and I try to focus on these a little. But as someone who also has a lot of projects, I respect the hustle! What’s happened since? Listen to today's episode to hear Nikko's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
