I’ve been where you are
-
I started 3D printing as a hobby and slowly turned it into a business.
At first it was just about creating cool things, but it quickly became about something more.I realized how many people had the same dream I had.
To take an idea, print it, and turn it into something real that others want to buy.Starting a 3D printing business can be confusing.
You need to figure out pricing, find the right products, and learn how to sell.
I made every mistake so you don’t have to.That is why I created The 3D Printed Startup - to help others build real businesses with their printers, from idea to income.
Through the tools and methods I have built, my goal is to make it easier for makers to take that first step and actually succeed.
Stop guessing your prices. Start pricing with clarity.

Most 3D print sellers have no idea what they actually earn per product.
They underprice, forget small costs, and lose money without noticing.ProfitCalc changes that.
It instantly shows your real cost, your profit per unit, and your recommended price — all in one simple view.No spreadsheets. No confusion.
Just clear numbers you can trust.
