Useful Things to Print

When looking for things to print, a good idea would be to think about what most people will consider useful in their everyday lives.

The best options are things that we use around the house like cups, office supplies, and toys. They all need a place to keep them organized or something to hold them.

Useful things to print for these household items could be cup holders, coasters, a hair dryer holder, a utensil caddy, a desk tray, or an earbud case.

Take a look around your house and you’ll see that there are lots of things that you can print that can be very helpful.

Can you sell things you 3D print?

Whether or not you can sell things your 3d print depends on what you’re printing.

Ask yourself the following question before you even think about putting any of your crafts up for sale.

Do you own the intellectual property for what you’re printing?

It may be tempting to knock off a design from a well-known big brand (like the one with that popular loveable mouse, you know what I’m talking about).

But, you could be setting yourself up for major headaches down the line if word gets out that you’re doing that. Check out my post on 3 things to avoid when selling online.

When in doubt, stick with your own creative ideas. Many of the popular selling items that I listed above are based on generic ideas that can be customized with your own personal touch.

Do I need a license to sell this?

If you buy stl files instead of making your own 3d designs, you may or may not be able to sell what you make with the file.

Some sellers include a license that gives you permission to sell your printing projects.

Sometimes, the seller will indicate the file is only good for personal use.

Check the terms and conditions before buying the file.

How much money can you make selling 3D prints?

Is it worth your time to sell 3D printed objects? Definitely! You could make thousands of dollars selling 3-dimensional crafts. The industry is new to the general public but it’s on the rise.

According to Grand View Research, a company that performs market analysis reports, the global 3D printing market size was valued at USD 13.84 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.8% from 2022 to 2030.

How can I make money selling 3D prints?

So now that you know what you can print and what’s popular with buyers, it’s time to figure out how you can make money selling them.

Selling on Online Marketplaces

Online marketplaces are a great option for selling your designs. This is because they already have a built in base of potential customers.

People are going to these sites with an idea of what they want to buy. Most of the time, they will type the specific thing they want in the search bar and then buy the item.

Pros:

Lots of buyers on site
Save on marketing costs
Minimal fees

Cons:

Plenty of competition
Less freedom in your presentation and branding
No control on fee increases

Selling on Your Own Website

Avoid the competition by selling your printed objects on your own online shop. Selling on your own site means that you are in charge of everything. You get to pick the branding and there is no one competing with you next to your listings in your own shop.

Pros:

No on-site competition
Customizable branding
Choose your own payment processor

Cons:

Added costs for marketing and advertising
Need to find your own customers
Responsible for sales tax

Profitable Printing Business Ideas

An easy way to make profits in the printing industry without selling physical goods is by selling digital products.

There are shops that sell stl files as well as finished designs.

Selling the files is an excellent way to bring in passive income for them. The best part is that it requires no extra work on their end.

Offer unique designs that will set you apart from what everyone else is making and you’ll be sure to find loyal customers.

Use Printing Services

Printing one, two or three items daily is doable. But what about when your orders start to take off?

Will you be able to keep up with 10, 20 or more orders per day?

How can you keep up? How can you make things easier on yourself? Consider using printing services.

There are companies and shops online that will print your designs or parts for you. Take a look at this 3D printing service shop on Etsy.

They can print any popular design from sites such as Thingiverse or Cults3D, in different materials (COLOR PLA, wood, carbon, marble, etc.).

If you need replacement parts or you have a toy or small 3D model that needs to be repaired, they can also do that.

Companies like Shapeways or Sculpteo offer prototype and 3d product printing done by professionals.

A benefit of using a service like this is that you’ll save time. Especially if you use 3D printing to make complex and multi-part designs. A printing service can print it as one piece.

Shapeways

Not only does Shapeways print your objects for you, but they also offer print on demand. You can get a quote online to help give you an idea of how much the products and shipping will cost you.

Sculpteo

Sculpteo has a simple 3 step process.

You design the product
They’ll 3-d print it
You receive your printed product.

They also offer online laser cutting as a service.

How much does it cost to 3D print something?

You may be surprised at how affordable it is to 3d print something after you’ve covered the upfront cost of buying the printer and the supplies.

Here are a few ways to save extra money on what you plan to print.

Buy in bulk – if you know that you will print a huge quantity of the same design, you can save money by getting your supplies in bulk. The prices will be lower than if you were to buy an individual item.

Go small – make a smaller prototype size. You’ll be using less filament.

Empty it – make your design hollow on the inside.

Can you order a 3D printed object?

Yes, you can order a 3D printed object from an online company or small business on Etsy.

Future of 3d Printer Projects

As you now know, the global marketplace for 3d designs is booming. A lot of people are getting in on it.

Now is the right time to start if you don’t want to get left behind.

Think about what kind of creative work you can make for this industry.

how modern technology improves the efficiency of an ancient craft

application

3D printing.

We share an example.

Chinese porcelain is known throughout the world for its beauty, and elegant Song Dynasty style ceramics made in "official" kilns are especially prized. The first such ovens were personally designed and financed by Emperor Zhao Ji of Song, who himself was fond of art and was known as a good artist, musician, calligrapher and master of the tea ceremony.

Today, porcelain is made by several classical and modern methods, including hand and potter's wheel molding, casting and semi-automatic molding. Chinese ceramic artist Xiao Heqing went even further and introduced 3D printing technology into the process of making porcelain from Song Dynasty kilns.

The use of 3D printing is intended to simplify somewhat the complex process at the pen stage - mold making. Hollow porcelain products are often made by casting: slip, that is, liquid porcelain mass, is poured into a plaster mold, then the workpiece is removed and, after drying, sent for firing, and then covered with glaze and painting. The quality of the blanks directly depends on the quality of the slip and the accuracy of the molds, so the first stage plays a key role.

Plaster molds are removed from the master models, and the models themselves are traditionally made from clay or plasticine. Such models are not durable, so you need to work with them carefully, especially since the manufacture of a master model is a very laborious process, usually done manually. This is where digital design and 3D printing technologies come in handy.

3D printed molds

Solid Edge Design

In the new process, master models are first digitally created using CAD systems and then printed with photopolymer resin on a SHINING 3D AccuFab-L4K stereolithographic 3D printer.

3D printed master model

Then everything is as usual: the mold is removed from the master model, and then porcelain blanks are cast.

Master model

This approach significantly increases the efficiency and speed of production, and allows you to reproduce more complex geometries and patterns with high accuracy.

Finished porcelain

Last but not least, if the master model is lost or broken, it can be quickly reprinted from an existing digital model.
