Where each $49.00 sale goes
Filament, power, your time $8.63Marketplace fees $3.92Left from this sale $23.95
One sale ties up the printer for about 8.01 hours. $23.95 ÷ 8.01 h = $2.99 per print hour.
At the mid price, if it sells. Shipping not included.
Why it can work
- Seasonal demand: Christmas gift season (my judgement, not measured)
Why it might fail
- Magic and MTG are Wizards of the Coast marks whose fan policy bars logos and trademarks without permission, and themed boxes like the 'Nuka style' one lean on other brands
- Thin public evidence, so treat these numbers with care
Be aware before you sell
Describe the fit as Commander or EDH, avoid logos and card art, and confirm the file licence before selling prints. Magic and MTG are Wizards of the Coast marks whose fan policy bars logos and trademarks without permission, and themed boxes like the 'Nuka style' one lean on other brands. Etsy asks for your own original design, so a licensed file may not qualify.
How to get a file you may sell
- Make your own. Tinkercad is free and enough for simple shapes.
- Buy a commercial licence. Many designers on Cults3D, MyMiniFactory and Etsy sell one. Read what it allows.
- Use open licences. CC0 and CC BY allow selling prints. NC does not. Filter by licence on Printables or MakerWorld and keep a screenshot.

Our take
The few prices seen are high for the filament used, which suits an original box with a mechanism or a strong look. It works when the design earns the price without brand references, and fails against free MakerWorld files if it is just a plain box.
