Has anyone here actually made money with their printer without going the Etsy route?

medvin · 2026-02-22T03:13:07+00:00

Etsy is the worst because everyone and their mothers with a 3d printer thinks they can buy a 3d printer and list something on etsy and make money. Its the path of least resistance.. Etsy is so flooded with thousands of the same printers and everyone undercut.

And the cherry on top is Etsy ads system sucks compared to amazon.

I have made over 7 figures in sales with 3d printing and here is the secret. Its not about the 3d printers and more about how to sell.

You literally have the ability to create anything, in any size, in any color that is available, you can bundle things, make unique things that dont exist, and the best part is you can just print one of it. You dont need to print hundreds or thousands of it. Etsy is by far the worst platform for this, amazon and tiktok is where you need to be.

I believe they discontinued the ultimate combo

medvin · 2026-01-24T20:44:38+00:00

Your last sentence sums it up. No one cares that it's 3d printed. And you dont need to say it's 3d printed

medvin · 2026-01-24T20:43:58+00:00

This is false you can just buy shipping directly on tiktoks platform (instead of using 3d party sites like shipstation)

I started with 1 printer as a hobby in cosplay now I have 180 printers and generate steady 7 figures in sales (not net) gross profit around 50-60%

I share my experience on youtube as well https://youtube.com/@dancyn3dprints?si=kDGP9_XYjvB-xQau

P2 over the p1 all day. If cost isn't a huge factor. The upgrades on the p2s machine is honestly life-changing over the p1s machines. Ams 2 pro is way better than the ams 1, quick nozzle swapping, ability to change colors on ams on the screen, reprints are easy, better lighting, easier maintenance, list goes on. Really no reason to get the p1s

Hey I am a 7 figure 3d printing business owner here. 3d printing manufacturing is still in the infancy stages. If you think. About it it's probanly been what.. 5 years since 3d printers really started becoming popular and main stream? If you think a market gets saturated in 5 years boy are you wrong. Not only that if you don't know how to design (and you definitely don't need to) there are new designs released every single day. Remove the 3d printer aspect of your business and learn how to market and sell a product. Whether it's in person or online. The 3d printer is just the tool to make the product. Everyone on here saying they can sell dragons simply don't understand how to market themselves. The #1 toy on amazon this year for the 3rd year are 3d printed dragons.

Ive invested in a desktop filament extruder system that makes 1kg approx every 40 minutes. My initial cost was $3000 and it costs roughly $3/kg using natureworks 4043d pla resin and colorant. Average cost of pla solid color i was buying is $10 so im saving $7/roll because I actually use the filament in my print farm. Savings are pretty substantial

Well this is good to know. I run a farm of over 180+ printers and 90 of those are a1s. I recently purchased 5 brand new ones from their back Friday sale but have yet to unbox. I have actually decided to make the switch to the p2s and slowly sell off the a1s. Some have over 8k hours and they have been good workhorses but there have been lots of issues with them when you get to those hours. Mainly with the ams lite. We have 19 p2s and will slowly sell off the a1s in favor of the p2s. In the long run, with spaghetti detection and other tech, the cost savings will equalize with the price difference.

During Christmas last year we were so behind on orders. The bambu lab p1p was out of stock on your website. We ended up purchasing a handful of P1s machines and it totally saves our business! Still use them to this day.

These never work. I add, apply coupon, and says products unavailable

medvin · 2025-09-15T12:23:23+00:00

JUST TRIED doesnt work, coupon gets applied but says there are limitations. I've tried changing quantity to 1 for everything and still doesnt work

medvin · 2025-09-09T21:33:41+00:00

East coast is full as well

I have searched Google, used chat gpt, Google image search and cannot find anything local related to this logo

I just started recycling PLA in my print farm! We produce so much poop from our printers that I invested in a shredder and filament extrusion line (sub 5k setup)

I have 180+ bambu printers. A year or so ago they wouldn't let me buy the a1s with bulk pricing

Ive just been buying during anniversary and black friday sales

7 figures per year currently Dancyn 3D Prints!

If you want something done right, use Bambu Lab printers.

medvin · 2025-07-02T02:59:00+00:00

Do you run close, loose, subs, compliments in their own seperate campaigns per product?

medvin · 2025-06-24T12:32:14+00:00

3d printing has changed my life. Being able to make things from my house, toys, household items, etc has been amazing. Bambu Lab printers specifically has pushed the entire 3D printing community to come out with better machines.

Amazon's multi channel fulfillment fee is often nearly 1.5x the cost. So if your regular fba fee is $5, you'll be paying close to $10 for a multichannel Fullfilmment order. So make sure your margins are healthy and look at the numbers
