I'll just say that it's something in a specialty market that happens to be a hobby of his.  By specialty market, I mean something like photography or skiing or R/C modeling... Where there are enough people willing to pay a decent sum for a product such that you can find boutique stores carrying such products.

Sorry I am vague. I don't want to cook his goose.

Products that are sufficiently mass-consumer can afford the tooling to be injection molded, while bespoke items can be hand crafted.  It's the specialty market where 3d printed stuff has a decent chance right now, imho.

I know at least one guy that is on this list has produced a product where his client is willing to pay several hundred dollars for his print -- he designed it once, own the rights to the design, and now he's got his machine printing the parts...
