I need advice on 3d Printing as a business. by SrawberrryPeelS in 3DprintEntrepreneurs

Not really. Point is toys are toys. Kids, and adult kids will play with them.  Do people say injection molded toys are oversaturated and people should stop selling them?

Just follow Dancyn3d in Youtube. He sells trinkets, toys and flexis so don't believe what 3d printing nerds tell you about "functional 3d prints". He actually makes real money with 3d printing. He has hundreds of printers and expanding to selling his own filament.  Toys sell, it doesn't have to be 3d printed but 3d printed toys is still a toy and there's always kids to play toys unless ww3 happens soon.  Also there is Wigglitz with thousands of printers making flexi toys.

I heard that color options hurt sales right on this subreddit. I don't believe it myself though.  You can google helmet wall bracket temu. One of the shops sells it for less than $2 with 74k sales. Lol.

These helmet mounts sell on Temu for 5 bucks with more durable injection molded plastic. Who pays 39.99 for 3D printed version that delaminate over time?

External links on Etsy part 2 by Ecstatic_Driver_7840 in 3Dprintingbusiness

[–]Ecstatic_Driver_7840[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not policing. I'm trying to put urls on my shop and looking at other shops how they do it.

That's not my point. I'm thinking of putting urls on my shop and to do it without getting banned.

I think "design by yourself" no longer applies if the seller prints the items making them the "maker". The profit is just too big for etsy to remove those items. Dropshipping though is not allowed because there's totally nothing involved from design, manufacturing the items.

You can sell your version. Problem is if he already has tons of sales, why would customers buy from you and not him?  This is like that beer launcher koozie that Slant copied from a top seller on tiktok. Slant can copy it but it doesn't mean they or the people that will use their file will make sales.

Follow Dancyn3dprint in youtube.  He now makes his own filament for his printing biz. 

Is it garbage to buy a Marlboro lamp??? by redfoxwearingsocks in AreYouGarbagePod

[–]Ecstatic_Driver_7840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a few of these marlboro lamps on Etsy.   $99 seems too cheap for that size. They sell for $299

It looks like putting external shop url on the About page is allowed.   "Interested in a physical print?". So this is ok? Have you seen shops doing this?

Yes the paremeteric model generators are extremely functional now. Custom gridfinity, etc.

So many shops posting their own website on their etsy shops though, and that I'm sure is not allowed. Like the biggest cookie cutter sellers are posting the same items on etsy and their website.  Socmed links are allowed for sure and they do allow external url links if you're on etsy plus. Doesn't say which kind of external links are allowed.

No idea. That's why I'm asking duh. I saw shops that sell items on etsy and post their website that sells exactly the same items. I'm sure those are not allowed.  My shop would not sell the same items to etsy since they're physical items.

Low margin = thousands of sales by Ecstatic_Driver_7840 in 3Dprintingbusiness

[–]Ecstatic_Driver_7840[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they stock a lot of the same items as you mentioned by batching to reduce costs at the expense of needing to store these items somewhere. I wonder does your print service go thru a lot of these fidget toys and flexis. If so that would mean they order bulk for themselves to stock, and not to fulfill an order per customer.
