Where each $12.00 sale goes
Filament, power, your time $4.87Marketplace fees $1.78Left from this sale $7.35

At the mid price, if it sells. Shipping not included.
Why it can work
- Low brand or licence risk if the design is your own
Why it might fail
- Crowded market, so prices can fall fast
- Thin public evidence, so treat these numbers with care
Be aware before you sell
Free table signs exist on MakerWorld and Remeshy, so confirm that each allows selling prints. Low, but use a client's logo only with permission and take care with platform logos such as Google's. 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
Sold as a set of 10 to 30 to one restaurant this can be a decent order, but single units are low value and printed plastic competes with laser-engraved signs at about 3.50 pounds. It only works through direct sales to venues, and the Etsy price itself is unverified. The buyer is a small business, which can reorder for several sites and pays for its own branding. It works if codes always scan, and fails on one-off $10 orders; only one clear printed price was found.
