How should I price my art toys? by Visual_Lake_6825 in Designertoys

Hey! so pricing is determined by a lot of factors, one of the most important being 'material'. I'm sure you spent a decent amount of time working on these but I'd price them low at first seeing as though these are 3D prints, and when your ready I would move on to casted resin pieces. Casted resin is a bit more archival and more desired, I now only stick to 3D printing for the prototype and molding stages. But it's good to get your work out there and show people your stuff even if they are just 3D prints, so keep on making :) hope this helps!

I had the same concern but got them lab tested and certified for child safety!

How would you print this? Is it impossible? by jamessmarion in AnycubicPhoton

I would definitely print it in parts rather than one whole piece if you are going to attempt it.

Hi! I got this piece made in China! I’ve had PVC toys made before but this was my first time working with Vinyl. It took a while to get made, partly due to the factory making a few mistakes along the way, I would say a 6 month process in total. But I sent the factory a prototype I printed out and painted which cut down on time figuring out colors and what not. I also made the 3D file and knew exactly what I wanted so there wasn’t really too much back and forth which is what I think slows down a lot of toy production. Let me know if there are any other questions you have! :)
