Filament, power, your time $8.61Marketplace fees $3.06Left from this sale $15.83
One sale ties up the printer for about 7.26 hours. $15.83 ÷ 7.26 h = $2.18 per print hour.
At the mid price, if it sells. Shipping not included.
Why it can work
- Guitarists spend on board tidiness
- Kits for specific boards can avoid a price fight
Why it might fail
- Brand risers are cheap
- Must survive foot stomps and gig handling
Be aware before you sell
Check the MakerWorld riser licence before selling prints. Generic risers are low risk, but D'Addario, Pedaltrain and other brand names must be avoided. 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
Plain risers compete directly with D'Addario at $15 to $25, leaving little room. Selling board-specific or modular kits to guitarists on Reverb is the viable route, and generic risers will fail.
