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.)

I watched a youtuber that was using this, and the cost to print something was pretty high. Like a 2 inch by 2 inch tile with a little depth was like $2 USD for the ink/resin alone. A larger board that looked like it was about 1 ft by 2 ft, with a single layer of print (no depth), was about $25, IIRC.

It’s beautiful, but so expensive to run, IMO.
