I just wanted to say thanks for the overwhelming positive response/turnout for this video. I haven't been this nervous posting a video in a while. Already outlining some followup videos on this subject! My Etsy Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/UncleJessy4Real
This is so great that royalties are paid. I've lost out many years ago when dealing with P&G about my design for a Disposable Diaper backsheets, from plastic to Wax polymer and other fiber. Although I had a contract with them, they currently still use that design and don't pay.
I was so relieved to find this it’s so dumb that people can go on thing verse and take a design and then use it to make a profit with out compensation for the designer
@@ihatekillerclowns Exactly why we are refraining from posting fanart on Etsy ourselves. It's all a gamble on whether or not they will come after you, and for $6k, I guarantee they sent something his way. I'd rather not take any chance and do everything legally.
Heres the thing about this though, it's illegal to sell copyrighted ip. Iron man mask, batman mask, etc, they have people that go around etsy and ebay starting lawsuits so if you get noticed doing it and you're in america or UK you'll get sued for more than 20 grand easy.
Uncle Jesse, I have been wanting to do this for a few years but there really wasn't anyone giving this type of information. I have learned tons. I am a 3D modeler and animator and this adds so much to an addition income stream off my designs. Very helpful. I have learned everything from you. Much appreciated.
Great video. Exactly mirrored my experience selling 3d prints online. I like that you emphasized the importance of finding efficient products to sell. Creating big items is fun but very impractical long term. Selling small functional items and then marketing them based on the value they provide rather than if a small plastic thing should be as expensive as you made it is key
@@ihatekillerclowns he did not rip them off, if you pay attention, he says that he asked the designer before selling them. Pay attention before hating.
This video convinced me that this as a side gig is a legit good idea if I manufacture the right product, so yes PLEASE make more like this! Go into more details in your process: How did you ship these? USPS, Fedex, UPS? How did you determine the product's cost? What was your profit margin?
I’m watching this with my 8 year old. He is laughing at your censored funny sound effects, and I am grateful for your sensitivity and for doing that. 🥰
Great video! My wife already has an Etsy account, and we BOTH got really excited by watching this video! Now I’m subscribed to get more info as I start 3D printing!
I've been on Etsy for 10 years. I'm a Maker/Hobbyist/Creator and am one of those real people behind the scenes of what makes Etsy a great place to shop for something unique. I want to remain a hobbyist and share my creativity, but I don't want a job, and that's why Etsy works so well for me. So, that said, just be careful what wish for, and understand what you want, anything is possible with Etsy. Thanks for the video, nicely done.
You are right. We've had folks asking about their pricing for lithograph lamps on one of my fb printer groups. If you don't know what that is, it is taking a picture and literally printing it w/ a 3d printer. Then building a light or when you make it you design it so it can be looked at w/ light. It is truly amazing to see and one guy came on. Showed us his end results and asked if 30 bucks was too much. What he had was something he created in fusion 360, added a light kit to, and some wonderfully printed lithographs which he showed us. We told him he was seriously undercutting himself. He needed to figure out how much time he spent designing this, the material costs, and his time cost. I pointed out while he could offer a discount after that it was his choice, but he should at least make it his time cost vs material costs so he at least made that money back. One more important thing, he needed to keep in mind not everyone can make these things. More people are, but it's not something you can buy at Walmart. This is a custom design made with a custom print from their photo which they asked him to do. So he has no copyright issues or licensing issues. He could also go on things like fiver and advertise his service and/or create a web page. I told him that he could start w/ his first sale high enough to make his money and some time back, but if he got swamped w/ orders, he would need to consider raising the cost, because that would be a strong indication that he was way too cheap. To be honest we told him he was probably too cheap at $30.00. Again this is custom work. W/ the work he put in, I'm willing to bet that if he wanted, he could have designed it so they could swap at the lithograph prints if they wanted to.
Love this! I was actually thinking of getting back in the game of model making after 30 years, things have changed tremendously, but still so familiar at the same time. Thanks for the video and yes you should definitely make more production of this kind.
Got a sub here as im looking into getting a 3d printer myself. Always looking for certain things and can never find it so figured why not do it myself and maybe make a side hustle out of it
Dude, your videos have been a GREAT help in getting me started with 3D printing. Just got an Ender 3 recently, and have been modifying it to serve me better as I start selling stuff (cookie cutters, pendants, etc) Thank you so much for your advice!
I'll just stop right here at 1:25 because I wanna say something. It is absolutely stunning that you chose to be honest and not misleading at all about your results, about the amount of money you made and the amount of money that can be made. I honestly came here expecting to hear a certain speech "I've been making so much money from those and that is just one website, i live off this, buy my course and become independent" type of bullshit, but I'm thoroughly impressed! TH-cam needs more of this. Real content, with honest people that make content because they care, instead of just being misleading and preying on people's emotions, while focusing on spewing negative quality videos in the least amount of time. TH-cam has become a fight for attention, rather than a place where we come to entertain ourselves, or learn cool things (like on your video). I appreciate this video and your channel a lot! I'm 100% subscribing. Congratulations on the production quality and honesty!
I've been thinking of trying my hand at using my Ender printer for producing prints for sale, but my experience with 3D modeling is very limited, so I'm reliant on others' creations for my own use at home. Being a programmer myself, it resonated with me and I loved how you mentioned that even if its listed as fair use, to always contact the creator for approval before sale -- this encouraged me to look further into making my own models before ever selling others. Fantastic video and well informative for everyone, from a novice to a pro, all around Uncle. I've never seen your channel before, but this was a winner in my book. Keep up the great work, be safe, and know you just pushed someone to learn a new skill that will hopefully better the lives of others in the process!
I used to run a 3D printed Etsy shop, I only had the shop up for about a year but I got thousands of orders! It’s a great way to have fun while making money.
You didn't mention intellectual property issues surely if you are selling a lot of Iron man helmets for example you risk getting a call from Marvels lawyers asking for their cut.
This. I immediately thought of this. Watched and watched, but it never got talked about. I think it's one of the most important points - who wants to put all that effort in, to be sued or have any sort of profit completely slashed.
You asked to let you know if your videos are helping, and if we enjoy them. I have lots of subscribers - and I have to say your videos are the ones I’m most excited about in my feed. Why? You dont push out TOO MUCH CONTENT. I know that when you make a video it’s going to be worth my time, well made, and information I find useful. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these.
You mean the creative bleeps taken from copyrighted video game files, where Jesse didn't obtain permission for their use and is leveraging someone else's creativity to help monetize his content? The ones he uses while admonishing people not to leverage someone else's creativity to make money without permission? Ironic.
I'm planning to start 3d printing business and I'm in the right channel to get information about this stuff. Love the hadokin part lol. Very humorous and informative Uncle Jessy keep it up.
My son and i just got into 3d printing. He wants to go that direction with his education. He is 15 and autistic. I bought the cheapest printer i could find. A cloned clone of a cloned a8. As expected is was not all that good but that was the point. Learned my son how to design parts to improve the printer. When the mainboard blew up we made it arduino controlled. The printet works just fine now. We both learned a lot of that piece of junk. Now we have a ender3 wich ofcourse is a lot better.
Hey Jessy, just discovered your channel as I'm looking to get into printing. Just wanted to say your videos are GREAT. Thank you very much, I'll be binging all your stuff as I embark on my 3D printing journey :)
I'm 16 from Ireland and although I don't have a 3D printer yet, I have such a great passion for 3D Printing, and I would love to pursue it as a full time job, I was supposed to get a 3D printer for christmas 2019 but my dad never got it for me :/ here's to hoping I'll get one eventually so I can do it as a job. I love watching your videos and you are actually my inspiration for wanting to 3D print
Wow great motivation! Please, cover about packaging, shipping and customer care part of it - which are the part of any manufacturing business’ bigger task then anything.
I know it's obvious to those of us with consciences, but kudos for reaching out to the creator beforehand, and making sure they get a cut. I know of a couple of creators who used to make free models but started charging for them, simply because others were printing their designs off to sell without permission and never passing so much as a penny on to them.
I just got started with my own Etsy store which I plan to have my own works and maybe a few other small more popular prints off thingiverse. I hadn't even thought to look at the licenses or ask until I saw this video first. I'm waiting on responses from some of the creators now. Thanks for the video, it probably saved me a few massive problems down the line. :)
It seems most of the success you had was through your channel and teaming up with the creator. Realistically this isn't going to happen for most of us. The biggest challenge is marketing an Etsy store and waiting for that first sale.
Curious about how much was spent on resin during that earning period. Trying to get an understanding of the overhead involved. Thanks for the great video either way, very helpful 😁
I am actually enjoying this video. Honestly, your background made me click...specifically Cap's shield and the Infinity Gauntlet. I knew I would be able to trust you, lol.
if you're a prop maker then it stands to reason you're familiar with casting. so, do you find the economics favour printing or casting after the initial product is printed?
Worth noting this is potentially a limited time market for the simple projects. Its getting to the point now where 3d printers are cheap enough to be in almost every home like traditional printers.
really liked the video i`ve recently ran into some heart problems and can no longer be a heavy machinery mechanic so i have no income at all right now except for selling off things i don`t need you are very inspirational thank you for that but i do have an older anycubic mega that i bought to start making items with .so far the cad programs i am familiar with and that helps alot i worked for a company when i was younger that used very similar software so what ive been doing is trying to sell off some of my belongings so i can buy used printers because it seems a lot of people just either can`t or won't take the time to learn the programs and how to get the machines dialed in to produce good products and loose intrest which is great lol less comp but i like your videos and i have to say I've also have been watching technical tinkers, he has given you a shout out many times on his videos.im going to start going through your videos and keep on learning gotta make some money one way or the other and this is way easier than crawling all over nasty equipment and a whole lot easier on the body. so keep up with the tips and tricks cause i need all i can get! awesome video
I like the video, but I think some basic business analysis and cash flow calculations should be included to paint a more accurate picture. Based on the revenue total you show vs sales numbers and parts, I made some basic estimates on the actual cost of goods sold (COGS) vs Revenue and Expenses. This includes estimated time for print at 1.25 hrs, cost of electricity at $0.15/kwhr, PLA at at $20/kg, box and shipping materials at less than $1, and only 30 minutes of your time spent setting up print, removing print, cleaning up parts, printing label, packing box, and taking out to mailbox. I also assumed shipping to be about 95% the cost assigned from Etsy at sale, and included the Etsy $0.20 fee to post an item and a 5% fee at sale. Assuming roughly 1100 sales of the XBox part and 850 of the PS4 (this gets to about the revenue number you show), your actual take home pay is roughly $12.30/hr. This does not include whatever cut you promised to PixelLogic for the design usage.
For a side gig (which I believe this is for him), that's pretty decent I'd say, then again, I'm used to EU salaries being way lower than US salaries so I might not be up to snuff here, but for basically half an hour of actual work (since you're just doing whatever while it's printing on its own), it seems pretty good.
I think your time calculation is incorrect. All of the tasks you listed would take maybe 5 minutes. I do this every day and if you run your operation efficiently you can do things very quickly. If you're printing the same thing you don't need to spend time setting up the print (if not its very fast still), removing the print just takes a second, if you print your parts correctly you shouldn't need cleanup, printing a label on label paper and applying it to packaging is fast and effortless, If you use padded mailer bags (very cheap and high quality feeling - highly recommended) packaging products up is a fast process, and you can take all your stuff to your mailbox once a day.
This info is going to save my sanity. I'm out of work and not sure what creative thing to do to make a good chunk of income. I'm creative and very artistic but my income came from Spa work. Been enjoying the thought of making with a resin printer. Now, I'm gonna eat up everything you have on this for new creators needing income ASAP. Thank you!
I started selling things with my Anycubic Kossel Plus Delta Printer. Now I've bought a Creality Ender 3 Pro to cope with demand... Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I'm very, very interested in the behind-the-scenes, tips, etc. on you, as a TH-cam creator. I don't know if this would need to be a separate channel, but it would be great. For example, scheduling time, whether or not you script, editing and tools, the process behind it, etc. Thanks for another awesome video!
@@aymansyed1351 We are in the beer and firearm accessories industries. We custom design and 3D print tap handles for breweries across the US. The 60k on ebay was mag holders, foregrips, and other accessories for firearms. I mislead you a little. Not every piece is fully 3D printed. They all have some aspect that is 3D printed, but some include metal mounting plates and fasteners, etc.
The library near my house you use the 3-D printer to print anything you want, & for free!! I’m very excited about getting started on getting orders in for some 3-D printed stuff and make great profit 💪🏽😊👍🏽
I'm really curious if there have been any cases of companies coming down on people who are printing stuff the violates copy rights? Marvel could come and shut down all those people selling iron man masks and even sue them if they wanted. If people are really making good money doing this stuff it seems like it's going to happen eventually right?
@@lambrettaladUK generally you'd get a cease and desist. they don't *have* to give you one and just go ahead and sue the daylights out of you, but it's just not economical to do that when an official piece of paper with fancy letterhead or e-mail usually scares the hell out of people enough to make them stop. bootleggers don't give a toss about being banned, i'd guess, it's just a matter of firing up another account until that one goes tits up, too. you're right, too, those huge companies have legal teams and people who just looks for IP infringement.
Yessssss do more. I design 3D parts but didnt think of doing this. Right now I'm making a case for the Tile tracker that can be easily modded for any device
I've set up one listing on Etsy before. In that case it was some gold earrings that I designed. They would be printed and drop shipped by Shapeways. I had that up for like a year with no sales. Now I have some other ideas and finally have my own printers and I've been planning to start selling my own files.
Brad J did you listen to the part where he says over and over not to do that? He also mentioned that he asked the original designer for permission and is sharing the profits with him.
Thanks Jessy. That was the sort of vid that I needed to watch. All there is to do now.........is my homework on 3d printers. Thanks again & all the best.............
Thanks for taking the time to create this video. I am getting ready to purchase my first 3D printer to produce items that I will show on my TH-cam channel for the niche I produce content for. Already took a look on Etsy for an idea I had and found almost no competition. Hopefully I can do something in return for you some day.
Pricing! I'm finding that charging for my design time, time spent putting together, sanding and painting makes my items too pricey for some buyers. How can we compare our pricing to the market pricing for similar items.
I think you kind of have to eat that cost at first, and hope you're volume multiplies your small margin into something worthwhile. Its a tough balance because, especially FDM prints, there is only so much you can reasonably charge for something.
"Some Buyers" is actually the key word here. Balancing the price to a point where you get not all the buyers, but enough buyers to keep you busy is actually where you want to be.
ProTip: Build a single master and make a good mold or two to do castings from. Ya only have to clean the print up once and it is vastly faster/easier than printing the same model over and over. ;)
It's a problem, many people can't break free from the mass manufactured plastic toy market prices in their head to a hand made (with artistic skill) one off product.
Great video! I've owned a 3D (FDM) printer for a while now, and I've recently been thinking about using it to make prints to sell, so this video is very timely! I was wondering the following - for prints you sell (like the game controller mod), 1) what material do you print (PLA? ABS? PETG?) 2) What layer height (and deciding on layer height and print quality vs. time for a commercial print)? 3) Infil (and durability/amount of material vs cost for a commercial print)? Thanks!
I like to use a .6mm nozzle on my parts. Saves time for sure. I also print at the highest layer height I can get away with which is .3mm usually unless the part is very square then I use .4 or .5. I print with either pla+ or petg. I find pla+ more reliable but am warming up to petg (had to deal with a lot of bullshit with it when first starting out. now that I have nicer printers I'm warming back up to it). I usually use 5 or 10 percent infill. Most of the part's strength comes from wall thickness so I'll have 3 or 4 walls on all sides tho. Parts are quite sturdy this way.
Wow, I never thought to ask the sellers for permission and collaborating, i've had my mind set to figure out how to design and model my own stuff and THEN sell. This is awesome thx Uncle Jessy! Maybe I CAN turn my fave hobby into rent! lol
This all very well --- thank you for your advice! But, Uncle Jessy, how does one go about all of this while not being slammed by cease and desist notices? Disney didn't give those people permission to profit off of those Iron Man masks. How is it that one is able to sell items that are "inspired" by another creator's or company's intellectual property?
I messaged Uncle Jesse on ETSY last year asking him a couple of questions about this thing but he never responded. I saw the specs from the originator and it was pretty much the same so I just bought one anyway. I figured if it sucked it didn’t matter cause it was cheap. This thing is the biggest piece of shit rip-off I’ve ever come across on ETSY. You can’t access your PS4 home button with this attached. It’s a bitch to get on. It cracked the second time I put it on anyway. But not before causing my controller to have drift issues after using only twice. I’m just thankful that I tested it on my second controller and didn’t ruin my main one with this shit box of a product.
Hello Uncle Jessy, I have been a 3D Printer fan for a couple of years...started truck driving and it's not easy to continue my hobbies etc...but it can be done. I'll be talking with you. New subscriber 🤝🤝
Yes I am Enjoying this, honestly without this I wouldn't have decided to pay off my etsy bill as i was planning on leaving them but am having a hard time getting my website set up within my currently budget and my bill is allot cheaper so I can now finally start over I also miss how easy etsy made shipping and i was really stressing out too much without them. I already have a ton of product sample stock already and can post ready to ship and pre order items that take less than a week to create I def wont make as much with one printer but, It better than nothing I spent a long time finding items that print faster and can make the most income. vs printing for 10 hrs that seems to sell for 40$ I can print an item in 10 minutes and sell for 10$ I'm making allot more that way. but I do like offering other items and to make the value better and increase price i want to custom paint them because i'm a true artist and 3D printing alone just isn't as satisfying. and now that 40$ 10 hr print is worth $100+ Also another tip there are Many Files available for public domain and creative commons that need attribution all eligible for selling, and you can go back and give them a tip anytime to thank them for their work. (I wrote this before finishing the video, I see you mention the price vs time for printing def smart. :)
Great video +Uncle Jessy; I just purchased my second 3D printer to help out the local hospital with PPE. I have always thought of going into 3D printing myself as either a second source of income all while enjoying my 3D printer. Thank you for posting this and continue doing what you do.
My single Ender 3 is now running pretty much day and night to keep up with sales of some easy to make replacement toy parts I was able to design myself using just Tinkercad. I currently average over 1900.00 a month and am just adding my second 3D printer to my little side business. I figure if I want to leave my day job and do this full time, I have to build demand and expand my selection. I'll have to grow 3 to 4 times my current size, but it is within my grasp very soon. I figure I will have 3 to 5 printers in my print farm. I have certainly noticed that having a lot of positive reviews is key to driving business. When I first started out sales were very slow. I might make one sale every couple of weeks. But, as more and more happy customers review my sales page, more and more sales come in. I now average about 3 to 5 orders a day. It is very rare a day goes by that I don't get at least a couple of orders. My Ender 3 has paid for itself several hundred times now. One thing I would recommend is always make your product 5 to 10 times before you sell it. 1, so you have worked out all the kinks or flaws in the print before you go to sell it, and 2, so you have stock ready to ship immediately, and not have to wait for the printer to finish that 20 hour print before you can run off your current order. You'll have a lot of stress if you suddenly receive a huge order for your product, and you have to print each item before you can ship it. Buyers expect you to send the package out in 24 to 48 hours. If it takes you longer than that to just print the order you'll be getting a lot of unhappy customers. Much easier to just reach into the pile of already printed product, than to have to wait, and hope the prints don't fail.
This is really inspiring. I’ve thought about doing this for a while but am not sure where to start. Thanks for the tips! Hope to see more content like this soon!
@@UncleJessy Life is easier that way ;) Thanks for the video! Luckily, this just confirmed what I already had thought so am very excited! Finally tweaked files so the print is perfect and will start production tomorrow :D
Just wanted to let you know thank you for all the insider information because id love to do 3d printing full time and investing the money made into more stuff
That's good for you, the markets seem to be overwhelmed and saturated now. Finding little niche hobby objects to do sometimes do a little but if I can do anywhere near 18 that would buy us a lot of time right now. So I'm going to keep trying to find a niche that's not overwhelmed like you did but as you said look at all the copies now.
referring to around 10:00 yeah the best route is the stuff you can just print n ship. Saw a guy doin a product that's just basically a big chunk of plastic, he throws a couple other things in it and packages. Dude has 10 printers going. Post-processing or w/e you wanna call it takes like 5 seconds tops. That's how you make the big $$ without being overwhelmed with all that work on each product and having to hire people.
I'm 16 and my dad left me with his old 3D printer I just have to find the program to use and get the plastic for it. Thank you for making this video! Defeninty encourages me to start this sooner rather than latter!
Also 18,000 or even 5,000$ would make a HUGE difference for not only me but my family. our two story house was only 10K and its pretty beat up and old. I know there was no need to say this im just spilling my thoughts.
Just got a Resin Printer because I need to make parts that are strong in all directions. Any chance you would make More Resin 3D Printer Videos. Topics I would like to see more of are: 1) Comparison of Plant Based,Water Washable, or Eco Resins 2) Comparison of Cleaning Products for the Eco Resins. 3) Comparison of Ultrasonic Cleaners vs Mixing type Cleaners with different cleaning products for the Eco Resins. 4) Curing Time & Hardness with different Wavelengths of Lights. ex. LED Grow Lights 600nm red / 450nm blue vs the Recommended 405nm violet.
Great advice on turning your hobby into a business. Also thanx for respecting the designers and creators, because I'm sure it takes alot of work creating designs. I found you via Kersey Fabrications. I like his way of explaining things and I don't even own an Ender 5 -LOL! I own a CR-10s Pro V2. I love the way it prints and just started out with 3D Printing about 2 months ago. So, this is very relevant.
I got a 3D printer for Christmas, it’s a xyzprinting da Vinci mini w, I didn’t know they have dumb chips to keep track of your filament or their software you have to use is the barebones minimum. But it’s easy to use and I’ll upgrade the second I get a chance to something that can use 3rd party filament. Great vid keep up the good work!
I just wanted to say thanks for the overwhelming positive response/turnout for this video. I haven't been this nervous posting a video in a while. Already outlining some followup videos on this subject!

Fascinating 💰
is it okay if you make 3D printed steering wheels and sell them? or is that copying other people and illegal?
@@LapisTales He mentions in the video that he contacted the creator, and received permission.
nice video, just curious how does it work about permission for Loki and Starro stuff...
So in order to sell 3D files you need to ask the ppl you buy the file from permission to sell?
I was so relieved when I heard the original designer gets some royalties. Thank you for being a great example for the community!
This is so great that royalties are paid. I've lost out many years ago when dealing with P&G about my design for a Disposable Diaper backsheets, from plastic to Wax polymer and other fiber. Although I had a contract with them, they currently still use that design and don't pay.
did he pay royalties to the companies who own the intellectual property rights for everything else, though?

@@ihatekillerclowns Or just lose your whole store like that time when there was a crackdown on baby yoda stuff.
Heres the thing about this though, it's illegal to sell copyrighted ip. Iron man mask, batman mask, etc, they have people that go around etsy and ebay starting lawsuits so if you get noticed doing it and you're in america or UK you'll get sued for more than 20 grand easy.
Good idea. I personally make one good print, then use it as a mold for casting. I can reproduce the item much more quickly that way.
Cybercraft uses that method for their helmets. I’m considering using it as well.
😊Thanks for that great tip.
I’m wondering if the 3d printed aspect gives it more of a unique selling point.

You should make this it’s own series. Seriously great information, would love to get more information from a guy like you! Thanks for the video.
Thanks Brotha! Yeah, I have a lot of potential followup video ideas on this depending on how the video does.
Great video. Exactly mirrored my experience selling 3d prints online. I like that you emphasized the importance of finding efficient products to sell. Creating big items is fun but very impractical long term. Selling small functional items and then marketing them based on the value they provide rather than if a small plastic thing should be as expensive as you made it is key
That steering wheel idea is just absolute pure genius.

I've been on Etsy for 10 years. I'm a Maker/Hobbyist/Creator and am one of those real people behind the scenes of what makes Etsy a great place to shop for something unique.
I want to remain a hobbyist and share my creativity, but I don't want a job, and that's why Etsy works so well for me. So, that said, just be careful what wish for, and understand what you want, anything is possible with Etsy.
Thanks for the video, nicely done.
This is inspiring. Truly. Im grateful for youtube because of content like this.
You are right. We've had folks asking about their pricing for lithograph lamps on one of my fb printer groups.
If you don't know what that is, it is taking a picture and literally printing it w/ a 3d printer. Then building a light or when you make it you design it so it can be looked at w/ light. It is truly amazing to see and one guy came on. Showed us his end results and asked if 30 bucks was too much. What he had was something he created in fusion 360, added a light kit to, and some wonderfully printed lithographs which he showed us. We told him he was seriously undercutting himself. He needed to figure out how much time he spent designing this, the material costs, and his time cost. I pointed out while he could offer a discount after that it was his choice, but he should at least make it his time cost vs material costs so he at least made that money back. One more important thing, he needed to keep in mind not everyone can make these things. More people are, but it's not something you can buy at Walmart. This is a custom design made with a custom print from their photo which they asked him to do. So he has no copyright issues or licensing issues. He could also go on things like fiver and advertise his service and/or create a web page.
I told him that he could start w/ his first sale high enough to make his money and some time back, but if he got swamped w/ orders, he would need to consider raising the cost, because that would be a strong indication that he was way too cheap. To be honest we told him he was probably too cheap at $30.00. Again this is custom work. W/ the work he put in, I'm willing to bet that if he wanted, he could have designed it so they could swap at the lithograph prints if they wanted to.
Love this! I was actually thinking of getting back in the game of model making after 30 years, things have changed tremendously, but still so familiar at the same time. Thanks for the video and yes you should definitely make more production of this kind.
Got a sub here as im looking into getting a 3d printer myself. Always looking for certain things and can never find it so figured why not do it myself and maybe make a side hustle out of it
Dude, your videos have been a GREAT help in getting me started with 3D printing. Just got an Ender 3 recently, and have been modifying it to serve me better as I start selling stuff (cookie cutters, pendants, etc)
Thank you so much for your advice!
I'll just stop right here at 1:25 because I wanna say something. It is absolutely stunning that you chose to be honest and not misleading at all about your results, about the amount of money you made and the amount of money that can be made.
I honestly came here expecting to hear a certain speech "I've been making so much money from those and that is just one website, i live off this, buy my course and become independent" type of bullshit, but I'm thoroughly impressed!
TH-cam needs more of this. Real content, with honest people that make content because they care, instead of just being misleading and preying on people's emotions, while focusing on spewing negative quality videos in the least amount of time. TH-cam has become a fight for attention, rather than a place where we come to entertain ourselves, or learn cool things (like on your video).
I appreciate this video and your channel a lot!
I'm 100% subscribing. Congratulations on the production quality and honesty!
Hey man don't worry if you think your videos aren't great if you have fun recording its worth watching, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah it’s always fun to try and mix it up.
I've been thinking of trying my hand at using my Ender printer for producing prints for sale, but my experience with 3D modeling is very limited, so I'm reliant on others' creations for my own use at home. Being a programmer myself, it resonated with me and I loved how you mentioned that even if its listed as fair use, to always contact the creator for approval before sale -- this encouraged me to look further into making my own models before ever selling others. Fantastic video and well informative for everyone, from a novice to a pro, all around Uncle. I've never seen your channel before, but this was a winner in my book.
Keep up the great work, be safe, and know you just pushed someone to learn a new skill that will hopefully better the lives of others in the process!
actually considering starting my own little online store with 3d printing so this video is awesome bro. even subbed so i dont miss any others like it
Did you start it and if so how is it going
I used to run a 3D printed Etsy shop, I only had the shop up for about a year but I got thousands of orders! It’s a great way to have fun while making money.
any tips what I can print? I am thinking about posting on tiktok but I don’t know what printer to get
You didn't mention intellectual property issues surely if you are selling a lot of Iron man helmets for example you risk getting a call from Marvels lawyers asking for their cut.
Either their cut or massive fines.
I've wondered about that because I see a LOT of stuff on Etsy that -should- be licensed but they don't say whether it is or not.
They usually pull your listing then ban you for life from etsy, they make sweeps every few months
This. I immediately thought of this. Watched and watched, but it never got talked about. I think it's one of the most important points - who wants to put all that effort in, to be sued or have any sort of profit completely slashed.
@Derek Kirkendall Thanks for posting this, it's good information to know.
You asked to let you know if your videos are helping, and if we enjoy them. I have lots of subscribers - and I have to say your videos are the ones I’m most excited about in my feed. Why? You dont push out TOO MUCH CONTENT. I know that when you make a video it’s going to be worth my time, well made, and information I find useful. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these.
Love this particular video and the creative “bleeps”! Keep ‘me coming.
You mean the creative bleeps taken from copyrighted video game files, where Jesse didn't obtain permission for their use and is leveraging someone else's creativity to help monetize his content? The ones he uses while admonishing people not to leverage someone else's creativity to make money without permission? Ironic.

I'm planning to start 3d printing business and I'm in the right channel to get information about this stuff. Love the hadokin part lol. Very humorous and informative Uncle Jessy keep it up.
How'd it go? I'm thinking about jumping in the space
My son and i just got into 3d printing. He wants to go that direction with his education. He is 15 and autistic.
I bought the cheapest printer i could find. A cloned clone of a cloned a8. As expected is was not all that good but that was the point. Learned my son how to design parts to improve the printer. When the mainboard blew up we made it arduino controlled. The printet works just fine now.
We both learned a lot of that piece of junk. Now we have a ender3 wich ofcourse is a lot better.
that's awesome
keep learning and improving! you're son will learn alot that way ;-)
You've inspired me to start selling 3D prints, supporting designers who make the prints and learning to innovate my ideas
Just got into 3D printing with my Ender 3 PRO. Loving the hobby so far...never thought of making money with it though! Nice video! Thanks! :-)
what are your macros?
Thanks man for be an inspiration and so clear, respectful and grateful with the opportunity you had. Keep rocking it!!!
Hey Jessy, just discovered your channel as I'm looking to get into printing. Just wanted to say your videos are GREAT. Thank you very much, I'll be binging all your stuff as I embark on my 3D printing journey :)
I'm 16 from Ireland and although I don't have a 3D printer yet, I have such a great passion for 3D Printing, and I would love to pursue it as a full time job, I was supposed to get a 3D printer for christmas 2019 but my dad never got it for me :/ here's to hoping I'll get one eventually so I can do it as a job. I love watching your videos and you are actually my inspiration for wanting to 3D print
Wow great motivation! Please, cover about packaging, shipping and customer care part of it - which are the part of any manufacturing business’ bigger task then anything.
That's just stamdard ebay
I know it's obvious to those of us with consciences, but kudos for reaching out to the creator beforehand, and making sure they get a cut. I know of a couple of creators who used to make free models but started charging for them, simply because others were printing their designs off to sell without permission and never passing so much as a penny on to them.
Please do more of these! Your videos are helping me feel like maybe I can make some kind of income off this business.
I just got started with my own Etsy store which I plan to have my own works and maybe a few other small more popular prints off thingiverse. I hadn't even thought to look at the licenses or ask until I saw this video first. I'm waiting on responses from some of the creators now. Thanks for the video, it probably saved me a few massive problems down the line. :)
I am letting you know down in the comments that I really enjoyed this
Thanks man! Will have a followup here soon
Hey Jimmy!
Ey I know you
It seems most of the success you had was through your channel and teaming up with the creator. Realistically this isn't going to happen for most of us. The biggest challenge is marketing an Etsy store and waiting for that first sale.
Curious about how much was spent on resin during that earning period. Trying to get an understanding of the overhead involved. Thanks for the great video either way, very helpful 😁
I am actually enjoying this video. Honestly, your background made me click...specifically Cap's shield and the Infinity Gauntlet.
I knew I would be able to trust you, lol.
Dude! The censor sound bits are epic! lol
This guy is legit legit, respect
I also sell my own product 3D printed on Etsy for 3 months , and its truly changed my life as a prop maker .
if you're a prop maker then it stands to reason you're familiar with casting. so, do you find the economics favour printing or casting after the initial product is printed?
Worth noting this is potentially a limited time market for the simple projects. Its getting to the point now where 3d printers are cheap enough to be in almost every home like traditional printers.
5:13 fidget spinner buttplug ☠️☠️
I wish I could say that was an easter egg... legit did not see that
so, i looked that up to see if it was real, and, sure 'nuff, they sell it.
OMG I'm dying here, lol 😂
🙂🔫
really liked the video i`ve recently ran into some heart problems and can no longer be a heavy machinery mechanic so i have no income at all right now except for selling off things i don`t need you are very inspirational thank you for that but i do have an older anycubic mega that i bought to start making items with .so far the cad programs i am familiar with and that helps alot i worked for a company when i was younger that used very similar software so what ive been doing is trying to sell off some of my belongings so i can buy used printers because it seems a lot of people just either can`t or won't take the time to learn the programs and how to get the machines dialed in to produce good products and loose intrest which is great lol less comp but i like your videos and i have to say I've also have been watching technical tinkers, he has given you a shout out many times on his videos.im going to start going through your videos and keep on learning gotta make some money one way or the other and this is way easier than crawling all over nasty equipment and a whole lot easier on the body. so keep up with the tips and tricks cause i need all i can get! awesome video
I like the video, but I think some basic business analysis and cash flow calculations should be included to paint a more accurate picture.
Based on the revenue total you show vs sales numbers and parts, I made some basic estimates on the actual cost of goods sold (COGS) vs Revenue and Expenses. This includes estimated time for print at 1.25 hrs, cost of electricity at $0.15/kwhr, PLA at at $20/kg, box and shipping materials at less than $1, and only 30 minutes of your time spent setting up print, removing print, cleaning up parts, printing label, packing box, and taking out to mailbox. I also assumed shipping to be about 95% the cost assigned from Etsy at sale, and included the Etsy $0.20 fee to post an item and a 5% fee at sale.
Assuming roughly 1100 sales of the XBox part and 850 of the PS4 (this gets to about the revenue number you show), your actual take home pay is roughly $12.30/hr. This does not include whatever cut you promised to PixelLogic for the design usage.
For a side gig (which I believe this is for him), that's pretty decent I'd say, then again, I'm used to EU salaries being way lower than US salaries so I might not be up to snuff here, but for basically half an hour of actual work (since you're just doing whatever while it's printing on its own), it seems pretty good.
I think your time calculation is incorrect. All of the tasks you listed would take maybe 5 minutes. I do this every day and if you run your operation efficiently you can do things very quickly. If you're printing the same thing you don't need to spend time setting up the print (if not its very fast still), removing the print just takes a second, if you print your parts correctly you shouldn't need cleanup, printing a label on label paper and applying it to packaging is fast and effortless, If you use padded mailer bags (very cheap and high quality feeling - highly recommended) packaging products up is a fast process, and you can take all your stuff to your mailbox once a day.
This info is going to save my sanity. I'm out of work and not sure what creative thing to do to make a good chunk of income. I'm creative and very artistic but my income came from Spa work. Been enjoying the thought of making with a resin printer. Now, I'm gonna eat up everything you have on this for new creators needing income ASAP. Thank you!
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. It reminded me of why I wanted to start in the first place!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for checking it out!
Thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks for such a long and detailed video.
I'm just waiting for the sales pitch of 5 payments of $2** something. 😂
I started selling things with my Anycubic Kossel Plus Delta Printer. Now I've bought a Creality Ender 3 Pro to cope with demand... Thanks so much for the inspiration!
th-cam.com/video/wkHjLJNt4oQ/w-d-xo.html
I'm very, very interested in the behind-the-scenes, tips, etc. on you, as a TH-cam creator. I don't know if this would need to be a separate channel, but it would be great. For example, scheduling time, whether or not you script, editing and tools, the process behind it, etc. Thanks for another awesome video!
Oh man, that is another video I've been wanting to make for a while now as well. For sure will consider building that out!
watched 10 of your videos tonight and just subscribed. enjoyed them very much
I love this! Would love to see more of this definitely !!
Thanks for making this!
Thx for the video. Fell on hard financial times and trying to find some light trough the storm. God bless you.
The money is there.. we made almost 60k in 2019 on ebay selling only 3d printed parts.
How many printers did you have and how many people were employed?
there's a fortune to be made out there for sure....
Can I ask what kind of parts? Seems really weird you can earn that kind of money from it
@@Angrytinydog 2 people and we have 11 printers
@@aymansyed1351 We are in the beer and firearm accessories industries. We custom design and 3D print tap handles for breweries across the US. The 60k on ebay was mag holders, foregrips, and other accessories for firearms. I mislead you a little. Not every piece is fully 3D printed. They all have some aspect that is 3D printed, but some include metal mounting plates and fasteners, etc.
The library near my house you use the 3-D printer to print anything you want, & for free!! I’m very excited about getting started on getting orders in for some 3-D printed stuff and make great profit 💪🏽😊👍🏽
I'm really curious if there have been any cases of companies coming down on people who are printing stuff the violates copy rights? Marvel could come and shut down all those people selling iron man masks and even sue them if they wanted. If people are really making good money doing this stuff it seems like it's going to happen eventually right?
they do, usually listings get pulled and sometimes your shop gets taken down ad you get a lifetime ban from etsy
@@lambrettaladUK generally you'd get a cease and desist. they don't *have* to give you one and just go ahead and sue the daylights out of you, but it's just not economical to do that when an official piece of paper with fancy letterhead or e-mail usually scares the hell out of people enough to make them stop. bootleggers don't give a toss about being banned, i'd guess, it's just a matter of firing up another account until that one goes tits up, too.
you're right, too, those huge companies have legal teams and people who just looks for IP infringement.
Yessssss do more. I design 3D parts but didnt think of doing this. Right now I'm making a case for the Tile tracker that can be easily modded for any device
Love the part where it's like make 3D steering wheels but I'm gonna crush your pathetic attempt so my tip don't mess with the bull...
I've set up one listing on Etsy before. In that case it was some gold earrings that I designed. They would be printed and drop shipped by Shapeways. I had that up for like a year with no sales. Now I have some other ideas and finally have my own printers and I've been planning to start selling my own files.
In nearly two years, folks. remember that.
@@BradJ90 did you watch the video? He got permission and gives the designer a cut.
Don't be a moron and make comments like that
Brad J did you listen to the part where he says over and over not to do that? He also mentioned that he asked the original designer for permission and is sharing the profits with him.
Thanks Jessy. That was the sort of vid that I needed to watch. All there is to do now.........is my homework on 3d printers. Thanks again & all the best.............
Isn't the free version of Fusion 360 only for personal use?
Good point.
Its free Up to 100k rev a year, then you have to sub
Thanks for taking the time to create this video. I am getting ready to purchase my first 3D printer to produce items that I will show on my TH-cam channel for the niche I produce content for. Already took a look on Etsy for an idea I had and found almost no competition. Hopefully I can do something in return for you some day.
Pricing! I'm finding that charging for my design time, time spent putting together, sanding and painting makes my items too pricey for some buyers. How can we compare our pricing to the market pricing for similar items.
I think you kind of have to eat that cost at first, and hope you're volume multiplies your small margin into something worthwhile.
Its a tough balance because, especially FDM prints, there is only so much you can reasonably charge for something.
"Some Buyers" is actually the key word here. Balancing the price to a point where you get not all the buyers, but enough buyers to keep you busy is actually where you want to be.
ProTip: Build a single master and make a good mold or two to do castings from. Ya only have to clean the print up once and it is vastly faster/easier than printing the same model over and over. ;)
@@TavishHill most of my prints are customs and one offs.
It's a problem, many people can't break free from the mass manufactured plastic toy market prices in their head to a hand made (with artistic skill) one off product.
Brilliant video. As a carpenter /joiner with shot knees im looking to subsidise my pension with my 3D printing....great inspiration...
Do it! I’ve had a number of people reach out over the past year letting me know they are making extra with their printers now!
Great video! I've owned a 3D (FDM) printer for a while now, and I've recently been thinking about using it to make prints to sell, so this video is very timely! I was wondering the following - for prints you sell (like the game controller mod), 1) what material do you print (PLA? ABS? PETG?) 2) What layer height (and deciding on layer height and print quality vs. time for a commercial print)? 3) Infil (and durability/amount of material vs cost for a commercial print)? Thanks!
I like to use a .6mm nozzle on my parts. Saves time for sure. I also print at the highest layer height I can get away with which is .3mm usually unless the part is very square then I use .4 or .5. I print with either pla+ or petg. I find pla+ more reliable but am warming up to petg (had to deal with a lot of bullshit with it when first starting out. now that I have nicer printers I'm warming back up to it). I usually use 5 or 10 percent infill. Most of the part's strength comes from wall thickness so I'll have 3 or 4 walls on all sides tho. Parts are quite sturdy this way.
Wow, I never thought to ask the sellers for permission and collaborating, i've had my mind set to figure out how to design and model my own stuff and THEN sell. This is awesome thx Uncle Jessy!
Maybe I CAN turn my fave hobby into rent! lol
This all very well --- thank you for your advice! But, Uncle Jessy, how does one go about all of this while not being slammed by cease and desist notices? Disney didn't give those people permission to profit off of those Iron Man masks. How is it that one is able to sell items that are "inspired" by another creator's or company's intellectual property?
That's what I'd like to know. I really want to start selling 3d prints, but I don't want any legal trouble.
I am enjoying this and still watching.
I messaged Uncle Jesse on ETSY last year asking him a couple of questions about this thing but he never responded. I saw the specs from the originator and it was pretty much the same so I just bought one anyway. I figured if it sucked it didn’t matter cause it was cheap. This thing is the biggest piece of shit rip-off I’ve ever come across on ETSY. You can’t access your PS4 home button with this attached. It’s a bitch to get on. It cracked the second time I put it on anyway. But not before causing my controller to have drift issues after using only twice. I’m just thankful that I tested it on my second controller and didn’t ruin my main one with this shit box of a product.
Hello Uncle Jessy, I have been a 3D Printer fan for a couple of years...started truck driving and it's not easy to continue my hobbies etc...but it can be done. I'll be talking with you.

or you can sell the steering wheel and outprice the unle, people follow their wallet over reviews any day of the week
Yes I am Enjoying this, honestly without this I wouldn't have decided to pay off my etsy bill as i was planning on leaving them but am having a hard time getting my website set up within my currently budget and my bill is allot cheaper so I can now finally start over I also miss how easy etsy made shipping and i was really stressing out too much without them. I already have a ton of product sample stock already and can post ready to ship and pre order items that take less than a week to create I def wont make as much with one printer but, It better than nothing I spent a long time finding items that print faster and can make the most income. vs printing for 10 hrs that seems to sell for 40$ I can print an item in 10 minutes and sell for 10$ I'm making allot more that way. but I do like offering other items and to make the value better and increase price i want to custom paint them because i'm a true artist and 3D printing alone just isn't as satisfying. and now that 40$ 10 hr print is worth $100+ Also another tip there are Many Files available for public domain and creative commons that need attribution all eligible for selling, and you can go back and give them a tip anytime to thank them for their work. (I wrote this before finishing the video, I see you mention the price vs time for printing def smart. :)
Step 1, have a viral youtube video selling someone else's work............
My printer is being shipped and I'm excited. I look forward to printing and making some money as well
Great video dude! Great production.
Great video +Uncle Jessy; I just purchased my second 3D printer to help out the local hospital with PPE. I have always thought of going into 3D printing myself as either a second source of income all while enjoying my 3D printer. Thank you for posting this and continue doing what you do.
I am actually enjoying it, keep going!
My single Ender 3 is now running pretty much day and night to keep up with sales of some easy to make replacement toy parts I was able to design myself using just Tinkercad. I currently average over 1900.00 a month and am just adding my second 3D printer to my little side business. I figure if I want to leave my day job and do this full time, I have to build demand and expand my selection. I'll have to grow 3 to 4 times my current size, but it is within my grasp very soon. I figure I will have 3 to 5 printers in my print farm.
I have certainly noticed that having a lot of positive reviews is key to driving business. When I first started out sales were very slow. I might make one sale every couple of weeks. But, as more and more happy customers review my sales page, more and more sales come in. I now average about 3 to 5 orders a day. It is very rare a day goes by that I don't get at least a couple of orders.
My Ender 3 has paid for itself several hundred times now.
One thing I would recommend is always make your product 5 to 10 times before you sell it. 1, so you have worked out all the kinks or flaws in the print before you go to sell it, and 2, so you have stock ready to ship immediately, and not have to wait for the printer to finish that 20 hour print before you can run off your current order. You'll have a lot of stress if you suddenly receive a huge order for your product, and you have to print each item before you can ship it. Buyers expect you to send the package out in 24 to 48 hours. If it takes you longer than that to just print the order you'll be getting a lot of unhappy customers. Much easier to just reach into the pile of already printed product, than to have to wait, and hope the prints don't fail.
This is really inspiring. I’ve thought about doing this for a while but am not sure where to start. Thanks for the tips! Hope to see more content like this soon!
This is so inspiring! Very generous of you to share these tips! Thanks.
Just 1min in but the tone of voice and energy makes me already give this a like! ;)
Much appreciated! Always posting positive upbeat stuff. Might have to do a followup on this soon
@@UncleJessy Life is easier that way ;) Thanks for the video! Luckily, this just confirmed what I already had thought so am very excited! Finally tweaked files so the print is perfect and will start production tomorrow :D
Just wanted to let you know thank you for all the insider information because id love to do 3d printing full time and investing the money made into more stuff
That's good for you, the markets seem to be overwhelmed and saturated now. Finding little niche hobby objects to do sometimes do a little but if I can do anywhere near 18 that would buy us a lot of time right now. So I'm going to keep trying to find a niche that's not overwhelmed like you did but as you said look at all the copies now.
The 90s video game snippets are solid gold
referring to around 10:00 yeah the best route is the stuff you can just print n ship. Saw a guy doin a product that's just basically a big chunk of plastic, he throws a couple other things in it and packages. Dude has 10 printers going. Post-processing or w/e you wanna call it takes like 5 seconds tops. That's how you make the big $$ without being overwhelmed with all that work on each product and having to hire people.
I'm 16 and my dad left me with his old 3D printer I just have to find the program to use and get the plastic for it.
Thank you for making this video! Defeninty encourages me to start this sooner rather than latter!
Also 18,000 or even 5,000$ would make a HUGE difference for not only me but my family.
our two story house was only 10K and its pretty beat up and old. I know there was no need to say this im just spilling my thoughts.
Just got a Resin Printer because I need to make parts that are strong in
all directions. Any chance you would make More Resin 3D Printer Videos.
Topics I would like to see more of are:
1) Comparison of Plant Based,Water Washable, or Eco Resins
2) Comparison of Cleaning Products for the Eco Resins.
3) Comparison of Ultrasonic Cleaners vs Mixing type Cleaners with different cleaning products for the Eco Resins.
4) Curing Time & Hardness with different Wavelengths of Lights. ex.
LED Grow Lights 600nm red / 450nm blue vs the Recommended 405nm violet.
yup, definitely would enjoy more videos about this topic!
Step 2 was brilliant. Exactly what I need to hear. Be the first guy.
Love the video, seen you many times, but this one made me subscribe. Please make more on the topics which you explained.
I've been looking into getting into selling prints, this video has been very helpful!
Great advice on turning your hobby into a business. Also thanx for respecting the designers and creators, because I'm sure it takes alot of work creating designs. I found you via Kersey Fabrications. I like his way of explaining things and I don't even own an Ender 5 -LOL! I own a CR-10s Pro V2. I love the way it prints and just started out with 3D Printing about 2 months ago. So, this is very relevant.
I got a 3D printer for Christmas, it’s a xyzprinting da Vinci mini w, I didn’t know they have dumb chips to keep track of your filament or their software you have to use is the barebones minimum. But it’s easy to use and I’ll upgrade the second I get a chance to something that can use 3rd party filament. Great vid keep up the good work!
Thanks for the great video. It’s inspired my son to start making and selling.
