I printed some stuff that I thought was cool and just put it up on Etsy early this year at a price that would be worthwhile for me. I was shocked when the first order came in as I never thought anyone would buy it. Then the orders kept coming in and I’ve grossed about 6k so far on Etsy. It’s nice that all of my hobby equipment and filaments are paid for and that’s all I’m looking for.
I continue to randomly list stuff that I think is cool. Sometimes they sell and sometimes they don’t and that’s fine. I don’t do SEO or research keywords or advertise. If I get bored of selling prints one day then I’ll just stop.
And printing is the least time consuming part of the process. It’s the packing and taking it to the post office that takes up the most time.

Scaled this guy up 270% to just about 12" tall. Printed each piece separately and took me a long time even on the X1C. Then it took some more time figuring out how to glue it together. Unfortunately it looks like the author removed it from thingiverse.
Prints started to get all wonky about a week ago. I couldn't figure out the problem. Changed the nozzle, tighten the belts, lubed the z screws, and cleaned the carbon fiber rods. Disassembled the extruder and I didn't see any clogging, but when I disassembled the hall sensor, I noticed a lot of wear. Then I found a piece of...

Who here is making money 3D printing?
I am a hobbyist, and my job will probably never require me to design and print anything for work....

After 3000 hrs, the original extruder on the X1C finally gave out. RIP (lemmy.world)
