Hi All I'm in New Zealand so I am looking at selling my designs as well as outsourcing the physical print to a company based in the US who will print and ship any Etsy orders. I'm keen to know if anyone here sells their 3d designs and if you offer them just in STL or also 3MF?

My Bambu A1’s quality has suddenly dropped, and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve tried all the calibrations and tweaks, but it’s still not working properly.

Hi any 1 here tried the new snapmaker 3D printer?

From Zero to First Sales: 6 Week Sprint 1️⃣ This week is all about Research, Ideas and finding a niche. Before we dive in, one important thing: This sprint is focused on Etsy. In my experience it's the fastest and most beginner-friendly platform to get real results with 3D printed products. Other platforms work too, but I'll be running everything on Etsy myself and that's where my guidance will be most useful. If you don't have an Etsy store yet, create one this week. It's free and takes less than 30 minutes. That's your foundation. Now, before you print anything, before you list anything, before you spend a single euro, you need to know what you're selling and why it will sell. Most people skip this step. That's why most people fail. I know research isn't the most exciting part, but it's the step that separates the ones who make sales from the ones who just own a printer. Do it right once and everything else gets easier. ✅ Your task this week: 1. Set up your Etsy store if you don't have one yet 2. Go to the Etsy search bar and look at what is trending right now (Easter products might be to late, seasonal items, upcoming holidays) 3. Go to Google Gemini and use a prompt like this: "Please provide me with a list of typical events, trends or holidays in [Your Country] over the next three months, along with the potential market demand for products related to each event." You will get things like: start of gardening season, Mother's Day, FIFA World Cup, wedding season and more. 4. Write down trends and ideas that YOU like and actually understand. This is important. If you don't connect with the topic you won't stay motivated and you won't understand the real problems behind it. 5. Now imagine yourself living inside that trend. Sounds weird but it works. Example for weddings: You're decorating the venue. You want a cozy candy bar, a cocktail bar, people need to find their seats, there's a catering queue, guests need directions to the toilets, a spot to leave gifts, a place to make song requests, a photo booth area.
