Filament, power, your time $7.06Marketplace fees $4.01Left from this sale $26.42

At the mid price, if it sells. Shipping not included.
Why it can work
- Seasonal demand: November and December, anniversaries of a death, All Souls
Why it might fail
- Family photos can still be a studio's copyright, so confirm the customer may reproduce them
- Thin public evidence, so treat these numbers with care
Be aware before you sell
Check any ornament frame model's licence, and only use photos the customer has rights to or permission for. Family photos can still be a studio's copyright, so confirm the customer may reproduce them. 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
No printed memorial lithophane listing with a price turned up, so these prices are for standard photo ornaments. A lithophane version could stand out, but it needs gentle customer handling and a proven retail price.
