At the mid price, if it sells. Shipping not included.
Why it can work
- Solves a daily mess
- Simple print with few failures
- Jug-specific fits are possible
Why it might fail
- Imports cost about $3 to $5
- Detergent spills need a chemical-tolerant material
Be aware before you sell
Own designs are safest, and Etsy requires original design for printed goods. Tide and other detergent brands are trademarks, so describe fit generically. 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
Cart activity shows interest, but imported plastic trays sell for only a few dollars. A printed version needs a real feature, such as a jug-specific fit or a vented cap, or the price gap will kill it.
