I think I’m done, hit my mental energy limit. I have a very small 3d design company, where I started by taking small projects, making the design and then selling it on either Etsy or Artisans coop. I’d also attend local craft fairs, or makers markets.
I’ve had a lot of fun and satisfaction doing this, solved some cool problems for people and made a small amount of money. (Mostly just paid for the printers)
But, the last three craft fairs I’ve attended I sold literally nothing at one, and only a few dollars at the others, Etsy sales have dried up and Artisans coop never got off the ground for me. I know I need to market, but I’ve been doing it without Meta/deadbird etc which is so tough.
So I think I’m done and just want a way out.
If anyone either has advice on how to sell this company (its an LLC) or if you are even interested in buying it, maybe DM me. I’ve got tons if filament, a pair of nice printers, probably a few dozen 3d designs plus a bunch of replacement parts for the printers. PrusaXL2T and Vivedino Troodon300 heavily modded.
Wholesale is where you make the money.
Talk to local business and try to find places that see you as a cheaper option than injection molding.
Recently have been working with a truck company who needs mounts for cosmetic pieces.
Local businesses is how you grow your business
Interesting, how did you get in contact with them? Did you have some marketing that worked better for you?
