@[email protected] What is the best way to get clients for a Small 3D Printing business?

I've started with some Infinity Cubes (A fidget toy) but have now gotten 5 products and hope to add more soon. What's the sort of thing people actually look for and wish to purchase?

My products so far: https://vex.blue/products

Have you considered offering a print on demand service? If I didn't have my own 3d printers I'd be more interested in sourcing models myself and paying for time/filament/power/pre and post processing. Just make sure the models you advertise specifically have a compatible creative commons license and maybe toss them a few bucks if they're popular on your store.

As for getting out there Craigslist and Facebook I would think are the most straightforward ways to advertise for free. Instagram could be useful as well.

We have just done a print on demand print, It is something that we will have to advertise and document a lot better in the near future as it's a really cool idea and if the prints are available for us to use over and over could be really helpful.

Been really looking into doing prints for Cosplays, DnD stuff as well as the Thomas Gauge 1 community lately. It's really cool to learn people's hobbies as well as having them be so happy due to the print we've been able to provide them.
