We Didn't Know How to Make It…Yet

We had 206 panic buttons, a Velcro problem, some very determined adhesive…and absolutely no desire to relearn CAD.What started as a pretty mundane problem at our school district turned into a perfect example of why we created Beyond Yet.We needed a permanent holder for a panic button. We couldn't find one to buy. We knew a 3D printer could probably make one.We just didn't know how to design it.So Jim asked a question:What if AI could do the part we didn't know how to do?It could.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're thinking about what we can create.Because the interesting part isn't the panic button holder.It's what happened afterward.Once you've made something you previously couldn't make, you start looking around and wondering:What else could I do that I don't know how to do…yet?That's Beyond Yet.If you can think it, you can create it.
