Making side money or full time 3d printing?

As others have alluded to, how well this works will depend on your sales/marketing. Just throwing something on a platform like etsy won't likely lead to a lot of sales, although it may land you a few. Luckily online sales doesn't have to be painful, if you get 1000 views on an ad or a video or whatever, and only 3% of people viewing it go on to buy, that's still 30 sales! You can have a very time efficient side hustle if you put in the work necessary to learn the sales side of things. I started a small blacksmithing business selling hammers, it doesn't pay ALL my bills but it does help and is fun to boot.
