My 18-Month Journey: How I Made 💲 Selling STL Files!

[@taelorrhodes8356]

Thank you for your insight! I was wondering whether it was worth the stress monetizing my prints, but the real value is in the skillset we’re gaining!

You are welcome )

I am subscribing to you mate. Cool ideas. Although,never thought of selling 3d models ever before. I was working with the world's biggest eCommerce as a 3D artist then moved to VFX (affected by Hollywood strikes), right now doing freelance works for some clients

Thanks ;D You should give it a try 100%

Great content. UAU project was overpriced, it was a matter of time before this would happen. Keep it up

[@Kowafatcompany]

Thanks! I believe that this healthy competition will help us improve both of our styles! In terms of their price tag, I love them) it’s hard to go lower when you start treat it like a business

[@MrJefferson105]

Thank you for this . I appreciate a lot

Nice and clear content , i started doing my 3D modeling store since Jan 2023 and i've made about 350 US dollars on CG trader , i managed to expand my sales by moving toward 3D printing community , and the question is with sites like 3D cult or Etsey should i sell the physical product or its enough to have an STL file and sell it ? thank you

[@sherlockhomes9919]

I don't understand why artists give away models for FREE. I made $40000 in a span of 10 years selling 3D models. Spending hours on a model and you give it away for free or sell for a dollar is stupid.

[@jordan123089]

How do you prevent others from reselling your files or designs? I designed several models where I sold physical parts and now it's being copied and resold😢

[@MatthewGenser]

Thanks for this video. Does cults set it up so they send the STL to them or once they pay then you send each one separately also how did u set this up for Patreon? Once they add you you send to them or how did it work? A video on that would be awesome. 😊 Thanks very inspiring story

[@drfat0101]

Very nice video, thanks.. Here I am asking the question about the revenue of the physical shop that you asked us to ask about in the comments.. :)

[@Kowafatcompany]

Thank you) I got 6 figures in a year from physical store )

How do you prevent people from selling your files?

[@Kowafatcompany]

with a court

[@drfat0101]

Can you tell us how did you modify your style to get out of the style-copying issues?

[@Kowafatcompany]

It`s still wip, but I can recomend you a book that called "Steal like an artist"
