Where each $28.00 sale goes
Filament, power, your time $8.32Marketplace fees $2.83Left from this sale $13.86
One sale ties up the printer for about 6.24 hours. $13.86 ÷ 6.24 h = $2.22 per print hour.
At the mid price, if it sells. Shipping not included.
Why it can work
- Personalisation supports higher prices
- Clear gift moments after races
- Sport variations widen the audience
Why it might fail
- Metal and laser-cut rivals look premium
- Generic racks start near $11
Be aware before you sell
Use your own design for Etsy, and check file licences elsewhere. Race names such as major marathons are trademarked, and Spartan-style branding is also risky. 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
Personalised displays sell well above generic racks, and runners buy after big races. A printed version must look as good as laser-cut wood or metal, and it fails if hooks flex under heavy medal collections.
