How to choose what to print and sell
The best-selling 3D printed products share three traits: they solve a specific problem or fill a niche, they are impractical or expensive to buy elsewhere, and they have a material cost low enough to allow a meaningful markup. A product that costs £2.50 in filament and sells for £12 on Etsy has a healthy margin. One that costs £8 and sells for £10 does not, regardless of how popular it looks.
Before committing to a product, calculate your true cost using the free cost calculator — including material, electricity, platform fees and your time. Then check what similar items sell for on Etsy. If your cost is more than 40% of the market price, the margin is too tight.
