Well shit. I needed discontinued clips for my PC case and 3D printed listings of a public model were my only source. There is some utility in reselling the stuff. Where else can I go now?
I think there are 3D printing services that make to order.
For the low low price of 50€ for a 30g part!
Buy a 3D printer. Might as well have one.
Hunh. Kinda sounds like a long-form “Bless y’all’s hearts”. 🤣🖕🏼 Fuckin’ dropshippin’ trogs.
people with a stockpile of 3rd party designs can still sell items on other platforms like Facebook Marketplace, eBay or TikTok.
Good.
Awesome. I fully approve of this. If you want to sell 3D printed stuff, sell it on an appropriate platform and for fuck’s sake, sell things that you actually have the rights to print and sell.
Next, let’s crack down on the hordes of losers on Etsy who just drop-ship crap from Alibaba for a 6000% markup while boldfadedly claiming it’s “hand made” in the hopes that everyone is too stupid to notice. (But people must be, because apparently that’s still working.)
etsy is doing the right thing here. why should you be able to sell stuff you didn’t design there?
the world already has too many plastic articulated dragons. this sort of waste tarnishes reputation of 3d printing as a less wasteful way to create functional parts without shipping, or as an art form.
As someone who sell their 3D Prints on Etsy. This is fantastic. We had other shops try to sell older versions of my designs and even trying to use my photos in their listing. If this stops that I am all for it.
That is a great perspective. If it could prevent hijacking and original design ownership exclusivity that would be excellent. Good luck!
