It’s Pretty Easy!
The decision to sell my 3d printer files was a really easy one. I had set out to create a business with my new Up Plus 2 3D Printer. I had already done the designing and troubleshooting to create nice 3D models. All I had to do next was to make killer photographs and descriptions. This is easier said than done. But I kept getting better photos with each try and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from other people urged me on to keep creating stuff.
What I wanted to do most of all was to show the potential of 3D printing and hopefully inspire others to join me in this unique frontier / venture.
I did my research and tried out a lot of sites for selling 3d printable content, some good some bad. Here are my top choices. These are places that I have actively listed my model collection and have already begun enjoying sales rolling in.
