Where each $11.50 sale goes
Filament, power, your time $3.81Marketplace fees $1.21Left from this sale $2.98
One sale ties up the printer for about 0.55 hours. $2.98 ÷ 0.55 h = $5.42 per print hour.
At the mid price, if it sells. Shipping not included.
Why it can work
- Strong public demand signals
- Estimated $5.42 profit per print hour
- Low brand or licence risk if the design is your own
Why it might fail
- Crowded market, so prices can fall fast
Be aware before you sell
Frame makers' free TPU files often allow personal use only, so ask before selling prints. Functional parts are low risk, but GoPro and DJI names are for compatibility only and frame makers often publish their own files. 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
Crashes destroy these parts, so buyers come back, and a few grams of TPU can sell for $13. Big FPV shops already stock them, so the gap is likely new frames and cameras right after release, or wholesale print supply.
