So for personal reasons I bought a 3D printer, scanner, accessories. Set me back about 1k. I wanna try and offset the cost by selling stuff, but what do I sell? Warhammer 40k minis? Dental supplies?

I bought the printer and scanner with the idea of making boutique figurines of obscure characters too unpopular to warrant the creation of a PVC mold, but I'm not sure there's necessarily a market for that - it's just what I wanna do

Check amazon and ebay, copy them, price them lower if you can (unlikely).
Join forums and whatnot, sell their good designs.

make art and see if you can sell it. Like abstract decor pieces or something.

Sculpt 3d models designing for printing, and engineer them to make printing them quick and easy. Warhammer is a good option. You can't simply scan existing models... you've got to have something unique and interesting.

Printing for other people is a really tough way to make money. People don't want to pay very much for prints, and unoptimized models require a lot of setup to ensure good prints, not to mention that printing is a pain in the ass to do safely.

look on the places where they are sold, like cults3d or patreon. If you are good at it, can keep a schedule, and have an art style people like, you can charge quite a lot.
