Can you really make money selling your 3D file designs?

3DShare set out to illustrate that 3D printer owners recognise effort of the designers in this space and would be prepared to pay a small amount in order to build something truly great. The model is a familiar one:

• I’m happy paying 99c for an app – Paying $20 for something is going to make me think twice
• We make your designs available at 99c
• Like the appstore, 70c of each download goes direct to your pocket – 29c covers payment processing, site costs etc
• As the volume of 3d file printing explodes, the potential market for your designs explode

So let’s how this is actually working by highlighting a few of our favourite designs!
