Printables.com allows you to filter by license, meaning you can search only for licenses that allow commercial use.
Could you explain what you mean by “full commercial use”?
Well, I'm looking for files to print and sell.
You might have better luck just hiring someone to create files for you rather than 'cold calling' designers. Not sure if anything like you're looking for exists as it would seem odd to have a marketplace of designs for sale as any company buying them would probably want exclusive rights to sell the product.
Yeah, that's the issue is that the models I want to print. They exist, but I haven't found any that don't suck under a commercial license.
Learn CAD my guy! No asking for permission if you made the design!
I make between $500 and $1k a month in profit selling my original designs. 3D Printing is so much more rewarding when you can turn ideas into products instead of finding files people made
I was playing about in Blender last night but holy hell what a learning curve.
I am like a lost 4 year old in blender, fusion 360 is more my jam
Is that profit or revenue? I'm curious how much it costs to print vs what you sell for, in terms of materials and everything outside your time to do the cad work.
Profit avg is probably 400.
Material cost is about $1 for a phone case, sells for $25.
CAD cost per sale is very low. I have learned to make my CAD workflow way better after doing all these cases. Now I have a plan ahead of time and not a mile-long timeline in Fusion lol.

That's an unreasonably generic question. Buying almost anything in the modern world requires sifting through garbage to find the good stuff.
I mean, it's not really generic. Have you bought commercial prints and had a good experience with a site/seller? That's the info I am looking for. I can search all day but I'd love to hear what other people have experienced so I'm not just throwing my money at a site that won't deliver quality files.
