How to choose what to 3D print and sell

Pick products people already gift: lamps, wall art and desk accessories sell all year, with peaks before Christmas and Halloween.
Add value after printing: paint, LEDs, magnets or a nice base make a print feel like a finished product.
Keep prints reliable: models that print with few supports mean less waste and faster orders.
Check the licence: only sell prints from files whose licence allows commercial use, and avoid using other brands’ names and logos in your listings.

Questions

What are the best things to 3D print and sell?

Decor items with a strong look sell best: LED lamps, layered wall art, planters and desk accessories such as headphone holders and phone stands. Cosplay masks and props also sell well around Halloween and conventions.

Do I need a special printer?

No. Most of these products can be printed on a standard FDM printer with PLA or PETG. Large lamps and masks can be printed in parts and glued.
