So, I've been getting reasonably decent with #OpenSCAD. I've debated opening an Etsy store, but I don't own a #3DPrinter. While I do have access to a couple for personal projects, I have nothing that would be suitable for commercial use, nor do I have the seed money to buy one.

One of the services I'm thinking of offering in the interim is creating custom STL files for people based on a rough sketch or photo, but I don't know if that would be a viable thing.

Is that a thing anyone here would have interest in?

I suppose I could also outsource the actual printing, but that would add lead time and overhead cost to the project. I've learned from experience that an invoice presented to a customer and an actual payment are very different things and could leave me having to eat that cost.

I wonder if that's something worth discussing with the kwarztLab folks on their Tuesday drop in night? Afaik most have 3D printers, and I expect a few might have done the same?
