Hi Everyone,
My name is CustomSabers and I have a 3d printer. And yes, printing stuff is addictive.
This week, one of my co-workers approached me because her son lost his Lego Lightsaber in their sofa. She asked if I could print one to replace the lost one. I printed one and decided to have some fun coloring them. I brought them into work and everyone is saying that i should sell them.
I've been looking around the interweb and have found plenty of injection-molded single color lightsabers, but didn't see any color printed versions. Color printed versions won't ever be perfect. The printer extrudes plastic in layers, and because the items are so small, no two are exactly alike. They are made from PLA, which is basically corn and sugar. The aren't robust enough to make into keychains and won't hold up to any abuse.
These are not for sale yet. I'm just trying to get an idea of whether or not this is worth trying and I figured that you all would be the experts.
Do you guys think people would be interested in purchasing these?
What would you think something like this might be worth?
Thanks for you feedback.
