I've ran across a couple, but would like to ask people here if you have any recommendations for good websites that host/sell files for full commercial use?
You might have better luck just hiring someone to create files for you rather than 'cold calling' designers. Not sure if anything like you're looking for exists as it would seem odd to have a marketplace of designs for sale as any company buying them would probably want exclusive rights to sell the product.
@mihnt@ShepherdPie Printables has a paid store now in which I believe most of the models are commercially available. You can also filter the free models by license.
Learn CAD my guy! No asking for permission if you made the design!
I make between $500 and $1k a month in profit selling my original designs. 3D Printing is so much more rewarding when you can turn ideas into products instead of finding files people made
Is that profit or revenue? I'm curious how much it costs to print vs what you sell for, in terms of materials and everything outside your time to do the cad work.
Profit avg is probably 400.
Material cost is about $1 for a phone case, sells for $25.
CAD cost per sale is very low. I have learned to make my CAD workflow way better after doing all these cases. Now I have a plan ahead of time and not a mile-long timeline in Fusion lol.
