I just feel like 3d printing business are everywhere and that i would stand no chance. Im not even sure how to find prints, But i can still dream… right? I would possibly be better off getting a job.
Have you tried starting a 3d print business or is it more as a hobby or both?
Having a dream isn’t wrong, but every business is difficult, and this one is already being run under by cheap Chinese prints.
It’s still possible, but all the success I hear now is from people who have designed their own product and are fulfilling specific needs, like adapters for certain tools and such.
Etsy also just banned 3d prints of other people’s design, so it’s even harder to make money with those now.
You can still make money with your own designs on Etsy, and direct to people who need things, but now it’s as much about the design of the items as the printing of them.
I suppose selling at a local market can still work, too, but it’s a huge time sink. (Like any other job, I guess.)
