How I Design Best Selling 3D Printed Products ($10,000/Month on Etsy) - Full Tutorial

In this video I illustrate the workflow I use to design best selling 3D printed products for my Etsy shop. I use one of my latest products, the Santa chimney countdown calendar, as an example. I provide a high level overview of my thought process and the procedures I use to turn an idea into a product using Fusion 360 for 3D modelling.

Great video and clean tutorial. One suggestion. Place a storage slot on the back of the chimney for the removable day plates.

i just started out with fusion 360 a month ago never saw so much new learn input about it in one video well done

Really like the idea of stacking the colors for less waste on color changes. That’s a big help and I’ll definitely add that to my arsenal.

Great video, I'm an industrial designer myself. I was used to creating products for every other process (injection molding, blow molding, roto molding, etc.) with 3d printing for prototyping. I'm in the process of learning how to design for mass production 3d printing. So I appreciate videos like this.

Made several of these chimneys before I knew about 3D printing, and they were a hit then. Popsicle sticks were my thing of choice along with other items. But now that you have designed several .stl files with the same thing, I think I'll give it a go. Should work just fine. Thanks for doing this.

Thanks a solid, focused video, without over the top bam boom wow thing a lot of people do. It was also inspiring, as I’m just now designing my first few models to try to sell.

Hey man, really appreciate the video. It‘s nice to see that there are still creators out there that don‘t edit their videos too overstimulate you to the point of going mental and where you actually get value.

I would love to see the Blender workflow. I currently do like you, using Fusion 360 and would love to learn the more artistic side using Blender as Fusion can be really hard for more intricate things at least for me.

This video is awesome.. I am currently trying to Learn SVG and fusion 360 and Blender.. I use shapr3d and Tinkercad right now.. I have Snapmaker J1, Bambu A1 mini combo, and Bambu x1c with 4 AMS units.
I am trying to start a small side business with my printers. Customs items only.

To make the PETG stick to PLA, you have to raise the temperature a lot for the PETG. I print PETG-CF on PLA supports, on the BL A1 and because of the hardened steel nozzle, I needed to raise from 255 to 275 to make it stick clean. I also turned off the fan for the PLA to have a clean layer over the PETG-CF. Hope this helps

This year I decided to DIY Christmas presents (and actually have them done in reasonable time. Managed to get some nice results, but designing the piece I printed, though it had its pros and cons, was very satisfying to see come together. The feedback from my friends was a resounding "sell this on etsy", so I might just start it. Thanks for the breakdown of the process, I just installed fusion 360 the other day, so I guess it's time to learn it.

When you do your numbers, instead of mirroring and having the numbers flipped you can use the rotate function with a center line.

These designs are fun! Santa brought us an A1 mini for Christmas and we are excited to get started! I've subscribed and will check out your other videos to learn more!

[DJProPlusMax]

Great video! Definitely enjoyed it, and my biggest takeaway is that you know your way around Fusion 360 very well, and I would like to know your way too!

[JaimeWyant]

Wow, i learned a good bit about fusion watching this video. 👏👏

[KillRoy]

Well thought out video, every phrase teaches something important

I learned quickly that print-on-demand is not the model for me. Designing your own products is definitely the way. I haven't hit $10, 000 in 30 days but I have hit $4, 500+. I want to incorporate HueForge paintings into my designs but importing the HueForge mesh into Fusion always brings my computer to a halt and everything becomes unusable. Basically there's just not enough computing power to turn the mesh into a solid body. Your HueForge video still informs me to this day, I'm curious if you have any experience/suggestions for editing a HueForge mesh in F360. Thanks as always for the great content!

The Santa chimney is such a good product

[hperlmutter]

Fantastic video thanks so much. I’m new to 3-D printing 13 days and counting your breakdown method just awesome.

[LiveEasy]

Yo this is a fantastic walkthrough. I am limping my way through learning fusion 360 and this taught me a few great tools. Subbed!
