Filament, power, your time $4.38Marketplace fees $1.50Left from this sale $5.12

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
- Thin public evidence, so treat these numbers with care
Be aware before you sell
Check the Thangs membership or file terms for selling rights and check Etsy's original-design rule. No character or trademark issue was seen, but sellers should avoid medical claims and copying a named design. 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
Small prints at about $5 to $20 (converted from GBP listings) leave a decent margin if the feel is good. It depends on a clear sensory-buyer audience, and only UK prices were seen, so US pricing is unconfirmed.
