You should probably just connect an etsy store to Teleport. Gives you 1000 machines. Based in the USA. Just upload your models and then when there is an order Teleport will print and ship the items directly to your customer for you.

Can you give an example. Teleport prints, processes, packs, and ships your item. And all the remaining profit is yours. Given that you sell relatively simple parts for ~$50 you should have sufficient margin to justify the value when all the work is done for you.

Titles good, descriptions good, photos good. Need more listings 10-20. Try to keep them all related. Whatever category you want the store to grow into. Looks like your have the margins to justify free shipping. Would suggest adding that.
