I found this interesting. It's a different view point than "buy the latest and greatest".

Man I have never understood what people are doing to make money with a 3d printer. It’s an incredibly inefficient manufacturing technique if you need quantity of a part. So, how does that business even work. Who the hell is buying all those… green rectangles? What are they for??

I run a small online store and make between $400 and $1,000 a month in profit.

I sell specialty phone cases that connects Razer jungle cat controllers like a switch. Also Galaxy fold cases that hold the new s pen. Other stuff too
