New opportunity and this one is special. I posted a video on Instagram and TikTok a while back with a custom acrylic-glas Catan set with magnets and it went viral. People are asking not just for the files but for the actual product. I don't have the capacity to sell it myself, so I want to offer this to you. I'm looking for 2–3 people from different countries to avoid competing with each other. This is a real niche market with real demand, already proven. To apply, drop a comment with: 📍 Your country 🖨️ Your printer setup ⚡ Why you want to take this on 🚀 Premium members get priority but anyone can apply. I'll select based on location and setup. If multiple people want the same market we'll figure out a fair solution together. Interested? Drop your application below 👇🏼

📍 UK 🖨️ 4 printers (Bambu Lab 2x P1S, A1, A1 mini) 🥸 This could be the first opportunity to start something more specific with more tangible and structured work for the 3D business that my kids and I want to build for the future. I few days ago I posted a question mentioning the journey that my 2 teenagers and I have gone through to start a 3D printing business and this is just perfect for it.
This stuff adds up fast. Any usecase?
Empty filament spools, cardboard boxes, silica gel packs, reusable spools... after a few months of printing I end up with a pile of it. I've been thinking about what to actually do with all of this instead of just throwing it away. Do you have a use case for any of it? Would love to see what you're doing with yours.

Oh I'd love to have some spools as well if I may, happy to pay for shipping.

Subscriptions? 👍🏽 or 👎🏽
TL;DR Considering subscriptions for our new 3D business ------------ My boys (15 and 13) and I decided to start a 3D printing business a few months ago, and so far, it's been one of the best decisions we've made as a family for several reasons. Although we're selling a few things and making a bit of money here and there, the journey has been fantastic learning together, attending events, and supporting each other every step of the way. We've found that printing free models from the various 3D marketplaces is fine and could probably take us somewhere. However, I think more specialised designs could be more profitable. The challenge is that some of those designs are usually behind a subscription, which, in fairness, isn't much—until you realize that the products you want to print come from several designers. Then, the total cost of accessing those models becomes more substantial. I know that one option could be learning how to design our own 3D models. While we don't dislike that idea because it's an incredible skill to have, it could take quite a while to learn and make it work for us as a business, especially for the things we like to print. What does everyone think about those subscriptions? Or what do you guys do?
