Thingiverse based business?

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Maker Block

I just had an idea for a mini-business!

I think there are enough interesting things on Thingiverse that a MakerBot/RepRap operator could make a little bit of money printing some Thingiverse models for a fee.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do with Replimat ;) See the “Request Custom Item” link on the right side of http://replimat.com.

I am also attempting to start up a small business with the focus on providing low cost, custom parts. I have one customer now but have struggled trying to “reach the masses”. Any thoughts?

@Pete Hinzy: That’s always one of the biggest problems facing a business – how do I reach my customers? Frankly, this deserves it’s own blog post… Thank you for the question!!!
