I have been looking for a website or marketplace where I can upload and sell my digital files for 3d printing. Wondering if any of you fine folks would have some suggestions? So far the top on my list would have to be:
Instead of selling digital files, you’d be much better off selling your ability to design things according to specification. It pays much better.
Totally agree with @ThantiK , there’s huge demand for freelance designers. Off the top of my head, you could have a look at http://cgtrader.com
I’m part of blendswap and blendercookie. I know you can also advertise your services on their sites.
Selling models isn’t really a marketable point. The ability to create however, is.
Oh, which reminds me… I’m available for hire if anyone needs a modeler. I handle all formats, and I do UV mapping as well as animations.
How about Shapeways as an alternative? For people who don’t have their own printers. I’ve been making a nice few bucks from them I just pulled in $60 the other day from just one of my models. And the checks keep rolling in every month.
Appreciate the feedback!
Thank guys, I really want to get into digital sales so that I can reach consumers who have their own 3d printers. http://cgtrader.com is great but doesn’t really focus on 3d printing. I found another site, “layer by layer” but unfortunately they don’t let customers download (which lets them customize) the file. Has anyone used http://www.makershop.co?
