I liked Shawn post and Cymon - I like how Shawn scoped it out in real terms
- around $8 per hour, well if you print 24 hours straight doesn't that mean
$192 per day ??? That just making the Gearz Model - This is a great mode
but everyone is doing it.
So if you are good with CAD and have some Time whats stopping you from
Making your own Great Model ?? If the square and heart are that popular
what else can you make with gears or other objects.
So $192 per day for 10 days is $1920 - Wait that just covered your cost of
your printer - Now buy another and another
I think the simple question is are you good at designing and selling online
? Because anyone can shell out 2k for a printer but if they can only take
others printer then they will never make money.
Check out Shapeways.com they have a great business going and make a good
amount of profit.
You really have to ask your self
1.do i want a business
or
2.Do you want to make to make a fast million with little to no work ?? (Not
going to happen, plan on spending hours on end to fine tune your equipment
and models )
I just got my makerbot in and its taking alot of fine tuning to get it just
right - I also ordered a Makerbot 2 which im waiting on it to ship 4- 6
weeks
