I think I could do an etsy shop and print video game props for people pretty profitably, but I'm afraid of turning a hobby into a job and sucking the fun out. I might try doing a really low volume just to have the occasional printer upgrade pay for itself.
You could just make a thing when you feel like it and throw it up for sale, that's my idea but tbh i haven't been able to keel my printer working throughout a single project so nothing ever gets done.
