    Lightbulb eBook research on How to Make Money With 3D Printing

    Hey guys I am close to halfway through writing an eBook that speaks upon 3D printing and how one would monetize it. I know there is another thread here that is specifically on making money with 3D printing, but I would like to do more writing and contribute something valuable with a well researched book. What kinds of topics and/or areas of focus would be interesting to read for you guys? I would love to gather more information on topics that the community feels needs more data. If you guys were forced to make money with your 3D printers how would you do it?

    Right now I have 6 major ways outlined in which one can make money from 3D printing
    • CAD designs - sell on shapeways, etc
    • 3D print physical products
    • Build & Sell 3D printers (and parts)
    • Share 3D printers - 3DHubs, makexyz, etc
    • Leveraging 3D printing and the internet/software as a business (customization on demand)
    • 3D printing related stocks


    Any inputs/comments/criticism would be greatly appreciated.
