There’s money to be made with them that’s for sure. It’s kind of like when CD and DVD burner came out. I can recall people charging $10 a disc and up. I look on eBay for 3D printed parts others are selling and think wow that’s not even your design. It uses less than $3 in plastic and they’re selling the print for $35 plus $10 for postage.
For me, and this only become a thought after getting one is thereabouts so many things I could Goto the shop and buy. Yet isn make them myself out of wood.
For example and it’s really simple. Swmbo wants shelves in the cupboard of the expanda. Rather than buy angle brackets or make the them out of wood I download a design and print them out. Took less than 10 minutes to print four of them which I is less time than it would take me to even get to the big green shed. Let alone get the saw out and make simple blocks of wood. The added bonus being they look the part lol
Happy to print and send if anyone wants to cover the costs of postage and the plastic used. Maybe even some beer money
